A map showing the locations of instruments used during the Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) pilot
The CSIP pilot project was conducted in July 2004 centred around the Chilbolton radar facility where there is a 25 metre radar dish with two of the most sophisticated meteorological radars in the world. The pilot project utilised many of the instruments and facilities from the NCAS Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement (UFAM) including a Cessna aircraft, wind profiler, Doppler lidar, sodar and automatic weather stations and scientists from the universities of Aberystwyth, Leeds, Reading, Salford, Essex, Bath and UMIST as well also from the Met Office.
Internet-based interdisciplinary therapeutic group for perinatal anxiety and depression - a randomized pilot study during COVID-19
<p><strong>Abstract</strong>:</p> <p><strong>Background</strong>: Recent years have seen growing interest in the impact that stress and depressive/anxiety symptomatology have on mothers, fetal development, the mother-baby relationship and infant development. Depressed mothers spend less time making eye-contact with their babies, and caressing and talking to them, which can cause delays in cognitive and emotional development. Early interventions promote reductions in mothers’ stress and anxiety symptoms along with improvements in their ability to read infant cues appropriately. Group perinatal care and internet-based therapeutic interventions were essential during the Covid period and telemedicine ensures continuity of contact with high-risk populations. The aim of this novel study was to assess the effects of interdisciplinary online therapeutic group in at-risk mothers and babies during the Covid-19 pandemic in a disadvantaged neighborhood in Barcelona (Spain).</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: An interdisciplinary team offered gestating women and mothers comprehensive care in a protective environment in a Primary Health Care Center. Pregnant women and new mothers were screened to detect depressive-anxiety symptomatology through EPDS/STAI questionnaires. A total of 135 babies were born from March 2020 to June 2021, during the pandemic, and 72 women met high-risk criteria for anxiety or depression. Some 37 pregnant women and mother-baby dyads were treated in the therapeutic group and compared with 27 women randomly selected from the control group, who received treatment as usual. A blinded pediatric follow-up was established when the babies were 6 months old to monitor their development through the Llevant Scale. The course of the mothers’ symptomatology was also assessed.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: We obtained a significant decrease in depressive-anxiety symptomatology (EPDS p=0.000; STAI state p=0.015 and STAI trait p=0.001 at 6 months of life) in the therapeutic group compared with controls. Follow-up at 6 months demonstrated significant differences between groups in assessment of the babies’ development (manipulation p=0.003; language p=0.000; sociability p=0.000). The therapeutic group showed no difficulties in any areas of development.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Interdisciplinary online therapeutic group helps to ensure healthy development of the baby and reduction of the mothers’ depressive-anxiety symptomatology. Future research should involve larger samples to explore the impact of online group interventions in both mothers and babies.</p> <p><strong>Trial registration: </strong>The study is registered at Jordi Gol i Gurina Foundation number 21/276-P.</p>
Pilot building dataset - "Portal for heritage buildings integration into the contemporary built environment" (URBAN PERISCOPE)
<p>LIM_411</p> <p>Address: Agkiras 147</p> <p>The building, located in the heart of the Turkish Cypriot quarter and very close to the Cami Cedit Mosque, was originally a school for Turkish Cypriot girls. It is unclear when it was built. The buildings surrounding it provided accommodation for the students. At some point it was used as a police station. Today, it functions as the Bi-communal Multi-functional Centre of the Municipality of Limassol.</p> <p>The building’s typology is very simple. It is a single-storey building, consisting of two large rooms and a smaller one between them. All three rooms have entrances on both the front and the back of the building. A covered exterior area is created on both sides.</p> <p>The appearance of the building is dominated by visible stone which is used in structural elements and decorative details. The main south entrance is surrounded by a carved stone arc and columns with engraved details. Visible stone can also be found on the frame of the small room’s south door, the frames of the windows, the niches, the corners and the base of the building and on its top part under the roof.</p> <p>The walls of the building are made of stone. The floor consists of painted tiles in the covered exterior areas, tiles in the two big rooms and newer wooden parquet in the small room. All the doors and windows are made of wood while the ceilings are made of wooden planks. The roof structure is composed of timber beams and tiles.</p> <p>Newer additions include the plasterboard walls that partly separate the space in the big rooms and the structure at the back of the west room that is used as a sanitary space.</p> <p>The building was included in the catalogue of listed buildings in 2000 for its significance as a Turkish school building with traditional and neo-classical characteristics.</p> <p>"Portal for heritage buildings integration into the contemporary built environment" (URBAN PERISCOPE), is funded by the Cyprus Research & Innovation Foundation Restart Programs 2016-2020 "Integrated Projects". Project Coordinator: The Cyprus Institute; Partners: Cyprus University of Technology (Cyprus), Frederic Research Center (Cyprus), Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Italy), University of Catania (Italy), Department of Urban Planning and Housing, Municipality of Strovolos, Municipality of Limassol, HIT- Hypertech Innovations, NetU Consultations and Talos RTD. The project [Grant number: INTEGRATED/0918/0034] is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research Innovation Foundation.</p> <p> </p>

D6.6 - White goods pilot report - Test user feedback of 9 users
<p>During the pilot phase, usage and consumption data is generated during the use of the appliance and sent to the ConnectLife app. The logged data consists of, among others, store time stamps, program choice, program duration, washing temperature, and error codes, this provided a continuous stream of raw data. As a result of these insights, individual user consumption data can be compared to the average user consumption data of users (reference data). This allows for providing details feedback to users regarding their program choices and the timing of conducting washing cycles. In addition, average consumption values are included (in grey) in order to create a reference for evaluation and recommendation. The green and red smileys indicate if the test user is below or above the average value, resulting in a note on how to improve the environmental burden.</p>

Accompanying data for: Local negative feedback of Rac activity at the leading edge underlies a pilot pseudopod-like program for amoeboid cell guidance
<p>This is the data underlying all of the figures in: Local negative feedback of Rac activity at the leading edge underlies a pilot pseudopod-like program for amoeboid cell guidance by Jason P. Town and Orion D. Weiner</p> <p>Paper Abstract: To migrate efficiently, neutrophils must polarize their cytoskeletal regulators along a single axis of motion. This polarization process is thought to be mediated through local positive feedback that amplifies leading edge signals and global negative feedback that enables sites of positive feedback to compete for dominance. Though this two-component model efficiently establishes cell polarity, it has potential limitations, including a tendency to “lock” onto a particular direction, limiting the ability of cells to reorient. We use spatially-defined optogenetic control of a leading edge organizer (PI3K) to probe how neutrophil-like HL-60 cells balance “decisiveness” needed to polarize in a single direction with the flexibility needed to respond to new cues. Underlying this balancing act is a local Rac inhibition process that destabilizes the leading edge to promote exploration. We show that this local inhibition enables cells to process input signal dynamics, linking front stability and orientation to local temporal increases in input signals. </p> <p>All data can be processed using standard scientific python packages using the Jupyter Notebooks located <a href="https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/672328942">here</a>.

A pilot GWAS in children from the BEECH study using the H3Africa chip
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Purpose</span></strong><span>: </span><span>Stunting is known to be heavily influenced by environmental factors, so the genetic contribution has received little attention. Here we report an exploration of genetic influences in stunted Zambian children with environmental enteropathy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Method</span></strong><span>: </span><span>Children with stunting (LAZ < -2) were enrolled and given nutritional therapy. Those that were non-responsive to therapy were designated as cases, and children with good growth (LAZ > -1) from the same community as controls.

Feasibility of using remotely delivered Spring Forest Qigong to reduce neuropathic pain in adults with spinal cord injury: A pilot study
<p class="mb15"><strong>Introduction:</strong> Approximately 69% of 299,000 Americans with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer debilitating chronic neuropathic pain, which is intractable to treatment. The aim of this study is to determine feasibility, as the primary objective, and estimates of efficacy of a remotely delivered Qigong intervention in adults with SCI-related neuropathic pain, as the secondary objective.</p> <p class="mb15"><strong>Methods:</strong> We recruited adults with SCI-related neuropathic pain, with SCI ≥3 months, with complete or incomplete SCI, and highest neuropathic pain level of >3 on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), using nationwide volunteer sampling. Using a non-randomized controlled trial design, participants practiced Spring Forest Qigong's "Five Element Qigong Healing Movements" (online video) by combining movement to the best of their ability with kinesthetic imagery, at least 3x/week for 12 weeks. Adherence was automatically tracked through the Spring Forest Qigong website. Outcomes of neuropathic pain intensity (NPRS) were assessed weekly, and SCI-related symptoms were assessed at baseline, 6, and 12 weeks of Qigong practice and at 6-week and 1-year follow-ups.</p> <p class="mb15"><strong>Results:</strong> We recruited 23 adults with chronic SCI (7/2021–2/2023). In total, 18 participants started the study and completed all study components, including the 6-week follow-up. Twelve participants completed the 1-year follow-up assessment. Feasibility was demonstrated through participants' willingness to participate, adherence, and acceptability of the study. Mean age of the 18 participants was 60 ± 12 years, and they were 15 ± 11 years post-SCI with the highest baseline <em>neuropathic pain</em> of 7.94 ± 2.33, which was reduced to 4.17 ± 3.07 after 12 weeks of Qigong practice (Cohen's <em>d</em> = 1.75). This pain relief remained at 6-week and 1-year follow-ups. Participants reported reduced spasm frequency (change score 1.17 ± 1.20, <em>d</em> = 0.98) and severity (0.72 ± 1.02, <em>d</em> = 0.71), reduced interference of neuropathic pain on mood (3.44 ± 2.53, <em>d</em> = 1.36), sleep (3.39 ± 2.40, <em>d</em> = 1.41), daily activities (3.17 ± 2.77, <em>d</em> = 1.14), greater ability to perform functional activities (6.68 ± 3.07, <em>d</em> = 2.18), and improved mood (2.33 ± 3.31, <em>d</em> = 0.70) after Qigong.</p> <p class="mb15"><strong>Discussion:</strong> Remote Spring Forest Qigong's "Five Element Qigong Healing Movements" practice is feasible in adults with SCI-related neuropathic pain, with promising prolonged results of neuropathic pain relief and improvement in SCI-related symptoms after Qigong practice.</p> <p class="mb15"><strong>Clinical trial registration:</strong> <a href="https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04917107">https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04917107</a>, identifier NCT04917107</p>
