IEEE Transactions on Wireless CommunicationsSeptember 2008In this letter we discuss the exploitation of aggregated mobility patterns in mobile networks including heterogeneous multiple access techniques. We advocate the use of knowledge about neighboring devices to create routing groups (RGs) of adjacent nodes in order to optimize radio resource management. Basically, RGs consist of aggregated logical structures which are built and maintained at the application layer. Their use allows decreased signaling overhead between groups of nodes and access points (AP) and, at the same time, improved connectivity, which is achieved through the exploitation of technology diversity and relaying schemes. We illustrate a simple yet effective analytical model, and validate it through accurate simulation results. Finally , we show the effectiveness of the RG approach in terms of resource efficiency, throughput and multiple access performance.Authors: Marco Miozzo, Nicola Bui, Leonardo Badia, Michele Rossi, Michele ZorziMobility Aided Routing in Multi-hop Heterogeneous Networks with Group MobilityIEEE Global Telecommunications Conference. GLOBECOMNovember 2007This paper investigates routing strategies for mobile and heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks. We leverage the knowledge about users mobility to improve the efficiency of route discovery and of the following data forwarding phase. In particular, we exploit group mobility behaviors, which allow us to apply a distributed on-line algorithm for the recognition of aggregated mobility patterns. Hence, we adopt a novel routing strategy that uses the aggregate structure formed within this algorithm to simplify the exchange of signaling and data messages. Finally , we demonstrate and quantify the benefits obtained with the proposed technique by means of a simulator for heterogeneous wireless networks.Authors: Marco Miozzo, Nicola Bui, Leonardo Badia, Michele Rossi, Michele ZorziOn the Exploitation of User Aggregation Strategies in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks11th International Workshop on Computer-Aided Modeling, Analysis and Design of Communication Links and NetworksJune 2007In this paper we discuss the exploitation of aggregated mobility patterns and physical proximity of nodes in a so-called ambient network, i.e., a wireless network with heterogeneous nodes and access techniques. We advocate to use the knowledge about node movements and geographical positions to create routing groups of adjacent nodes, which might be beneficial in order to decrease signaling overhead and increase transmission efficiency. Basically, routing groups (RGs) consist of aggregated logical structures which are built and maintained at the application layer. Their aim is to decrease the signaling overhead between group of nodes and access points and, at the same time, to improve connectivity by exploiting technology diversity and relaying techniques. On this matter, we describe a validation through simulation of a previously developed analytical work which is useful to evaluate the effectiveness of RG structures.

Our design will include novel energy scavenging hardware as well as network protocols and algorithms. In this paper, we summarize the outcomes of the first year of the project as well as the way forward to the further phases. In particular, we analyze the state of the art in the main research areas: energy efficient communication protocol design, ultra--low--power hardware design and most advanced harvesting techniques. For what concerns the future phases of the project we elaborate on the adoption of statistical predictive models for the energy description, we account for game theoretic approaches for distributed optimization and we apply our considerations on the most modern standards for wireless sensor networks communication. We review the state of the art on hardware components, to provide a shortlist of the most efficient building blocks of the SWAP platforms as well as a draft version of the schematics of the module. Finally , we provide a brief overview on the latest energy harvester for miniature scale devices and we argue on the feasibility of a hybrid solar--electromagnetic harvesting module.Authors: Marco Miozzo, Nicola Bui, Xavier Vilajosana, Apostolos Georgiadis, Michele RossiRouting Strategies for Coverage Extension in Heterogeneous Wireless NetworksIEEE International Symposium on · Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio CommunicationsSeptember 2006The focus of this paper is on routing over heterogeneous networks. We consider a scenario involving both infrastructure and infrastructureless wireless networks, where a set of mobile users are interested in communicating with several access points (APs). Multi-hop routing, possibly over heterogeneous technologies, is exploited to extend the coverage for those users that are not within the transmission range of any APs. We propose a proactive tree-based approach for the dissemination of routing information and the subsequent data forwarding towards the APs. Subsequently, we compare its performance against reactive routing algorithms for ad hoc networks. The network performance is obtained via simulation through careful modeling of the considered radio interfaces. The results indicate the superiority of proactive schemes under moderate/high traffic conditions and motivate further research.Authors: Marco Miozzo, Michele Rossi, MIchele ZorziRouting schemes in heterogeneous wireless networks based on access advertisement and backward utilities for QoS supportIEEE Communications MagazineFebruary 2007This article reviews routing algorithms in heterogeneous wireless networks with the goal of including QoS awareness. After a general overview of the issues and challenges of QoS provisioning over heterogeneous networks, classic routing strategies are revisited, and how they can be exploited to achieve QoS efficiency is discussed. In particular, for the considered scenarios our proposal is to account for some proactivity in the routing algorithms, as well as a QoS-driven control selection, which are shown to improve throughput, delay, and energy consumption. Finally , we introduce a general backward utility formulation for user satisfaction as a tool to capture complex and dynamic QoS variations.Authors: Marco Miozzo, Leonardo Badia, Michele Rossi, Michele ZorziArchitectures for Seamless Handover Support in Heterogeneous Wireless NetworksIEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, WCNC.March 2008In this paper we study the performance of the ambient networks (AN) access selection architecture. We consider heterogeneous wireless networks, where mobile terminals (MTs) own multiple radio technologies and need to remain connected while on the move. We would like to provide the MTs with seamless IP services, such as video/audio streaming, so that changes in their point of attachment will not affect the experienced streaming quality. In the first part of this paper, we present the AN architecture for access selection, along with its functional entities (FEs), their interrelations and the algorithms that are to be run within each FE. Hence, we describe our ns2 simulation framework and detail two simulation scenarios. We finally discuss, through extensive simulation results, the effectiveness of the AN architecture in reaching the above goals.Authors: Marco Miozzo, Michele Rossi, Michele Zorzins2-MIRACLE: a modular framework for multi-technology and cross-layer support in network simulator 2Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Performance evaluation methodologies and tools,ValueTools '07October 2007In this paper we present a novel framework for ns2 to facilitate the simulation and, in general, the design of beyond 3G networks. The set of libraries we wrote for this purpose is called Multi InteRfAce Cross Layer Extension for ns2 (MIRACLE). They enhance the functionalities offered by the Network Simulator ns2 by providing an efficient and embedded engine for handling cross-layer messages and, at the same time, enabling the coexistence of multiple modules within each layer of the protocol stack. For instance, multiple network, link, MAC or physical layers can be specified and used within the same node. The implications of this are manifold. First of all, the framework facilitates the implementation and the simulation of modern communication systems in ns2. Secondly, due to its modularity, the code will be portable, re-usable and extensible.As an example of the advantages offered by our architecture, we show how the MIRACLE framework can be used to quickly set up protocol architectures for Ambient Networks [1] and evaluate their performance in wireless and multi-technology environments. We stress that, even though the emphasis in the present paper is put on wireless systems, MIRACLE is a general framework which can be used for simulating wired networks as well as a mixture of wired and wireless scenarios. Throughout the paper we also discuss some of the downsides of existing ns2 extensions, which are often programmed in a rather ad hoc manner, according to specific needs or technologies and, as such, are often difficult to extend/re-use. In contrast, our effort aims at providing well defined interfaces and is based on a truly modular architectural design. Our work can be seen as a step toward the definition of a standard framework for the simulation of cross-layer, multi-technology and mobile systems in ns2.Authors: Marco Miozzo, Federico Maguolo, Nicola Baldo, Michele Rossi, Michele ZorziSimulador Híbrido para Redes Heterogéneas - Módulo WiMAXM.

Resources, Conservation and Recycling Volume 80, November 2013, Pages 97–106November 2013AbstractThe selective collection and recycling of municipal solid waste are presented as stages of an integrated program of solid waste management to minimize the environmental impact of the treatment and final disposal of solid waste. Therefore, this program aims to save natural resources, such as energy and raw materials, in the manufacture of new products and to conserve areas for sites, such as to minimize the use of existing landfill sites, and to minimize the need for new waste treatment sites. A university is composed of educational professionals aware of their societal responsibilities, and, therefore, they play a fundamental role in the management of the university's solid waste. This study presents the design and implementation of a Permanent Selective Collection Program (PSCP) at the Federal University of Itajubá (Universidade Federal de Itajubá, UNIFEI), Itajubá-MG, Brazil. The material requirements for initiating the PSCP have been identified, and an action plan for continuous program improvement, which is initially based on the collection of performance indicator data for the PSCP campus, has been developed. Finally , the data from the PSCP performance indicators and software from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Landfill Gas Generation Model (LandGEM) and the Waste Reduction Model (WARM), were used to evaluate the impact of implementing PSCP in terms of energy and the generation of greenhouse gases (GHG). The results were promising, showing that there has been an improvement, since the inception of PSCP in 2006, in separating materials for selective collection, even though paper (41.00 wt%), plastic (6.00 wt%) and organic matter (26.00 wt%) are still highly generated wastes. The WARM simulations for a scenario in which 90% of the waste is sent for recycling resulted in an economy of −7 tCO2 or −74.91 GJ (on an energy basis). The LandGEM (USEPA) simulations estimated 1424.60 kWh of energy in the peak production year.Authors: Juliana Sales Moura, Regina M Barros, geraldo lúcio tiago filho, Guilherme Samprogna Mohor, Fernanda Vieira, marcela F.

Indonesian Scholars JournalDecember 2014The consumption of gas energy which is increasing especially in the fulfillment of power plant requirement, and not offset by the supply of gas energy, causes the deficit of energy—especially gas energy—in Indonesia. Therefore, the findings of new sources which produce gas energy through geological and geophysical exploration are needed to settle the problem. The type of this research is qualitative descriptive study using data collection method in the form of literature study and objective analysis of the data. Data analysis method used is a combination of trend analysis and descriptive analysis. Based on the analysis result, the requirement of gas for PLN’s power plant reached 1.8 BSCFD (Billion Standard Cubic-Feet per Day) but only about 1 BSCFD is met. In 2015, the requirement of PLN’s power plant is expected to increase to 2.1 BSCFD and be totalized with the private power plant requirement. However, the supply of gas is only expected to reach 0.8 BSCFD. This means there are still 1.4 BSCFD needed. Indonesia shale gas potential is about 574 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF). It is greater than Coal Bed Methane (CBM) and gas, which are only about 453.3 TSCF and 334.5 TSCF, respectively. Finally , based on a combination of trend and descriptive analysis, it is proper to develop the potential of shale gas to meet the requirement of national energy, especially sources of gas energy for power plant in Indonesia.

Molecular Biology ReportsMay 2012The XPD gene, located in human chromosome 19, encodes one of the two helicase components of transcriptional factor IIH (TFIIH), a ten-subunit, multifunctional complex that is essential for multiple processes, including basal transcription initiation and DNA damage repair [1, 2]. Alterations in XPD resulting in defective TFIIH function are associated with UV-sensitive disorders including Xeroderma pigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome, and Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) [3, 4]. TTD mice exhibit many symptoms of premature aging, including osteoporosis, kyphosis and osteosclerosis [5]. This fact has triggered our interest in analyzing XPD involvement in bone biology using zebrafish as model organism. Although orthologs of xpd are present in all species analyzed, no specific data on its gene structure, regulation or function exists at this time in any fish system. In this study we isolated the zebrafish cDNA encoding xpd, and examined its spatial-temporal expression during early development as well as its tissue distribution in adult zebrafish. Only one gene was identified in zebrafish and its sequence analysis showed a molecular structure with 23 coding exons similar to other species. The amino acid sequences were also found to be largely conserved among all species analyzed, suggesting function maintenance throughout evolution. Gene expression analysis in different zebrafish tissues by qPCR showed xpd expression in all tissues examined with the highest expression in branchial arches. Analysis of xpd expression in zebrafish embryos showed maternal inheritance and presence of xpd transcripts in all developmental stages analyzed suggesting its implication in early zebrafish larval development.Authors: Iris Silva, Natércia Conceição, Leonor CancelaMolecular characterization of two paralog genes encoding Gla-rich protein (Grp) in zebrafishJournal of Applied IchthyologyMay 2012Gla-rich protein (GRP) is a novel vitamin K-dependent protein with the highest Gla content of any protein known to date that has been identified in all taxonomic groups of vertebrates (named GRP1) with a paralog in bony fish (named GRP2). In sturgeon, as well as during mouse development, cartilaginous tissues or their precursors are primary sites of GRP expression. In this article, we identify two grp isoforms, grp1 and grp2, encoded by two distinct genes localized in zebrafish chromosomes 25 and 4, respectively. These two genes span, respectively, 6 kb and 9 kb of genomic DNA and are both composed of five exons. Within the coding regions, the overall amino acids identity is 48.6 and 42.0%, respectively, for Grp1 and Grp2 compared to the human GRP. We also have identified the presence of splice variants already previously described in mouse, and corresponding expression levels were determined during embryonic stages and in different adult tissues. The levels of grp expression appear to be inversely correlated, with grp1 being expressed first and remaining high during early development while expression of grp2 appears later and increases in late larval and juvenile stages, having greater prevalence in adult tissues. We conclude that in zebrafish, grp paralogs exhibited distinct patterns of expression suggesting different regulatory pathways for each gene.Authors: Cindy Fazenda, Iris Silva, Natercia Conceicao, M. Leonor CancelaEvolutionary conservation of TFIIH subunits: implications for the use of zebrafish as a model to study TFIIH function and regulationComp Biochem Physiol B BiochemJune 2014Transcriptional factor IIH (TFIIH) is involved in cell cycle regulation, nucleotide excision repair, and gene transcription. Mutations in three of its subunits, XPB, XPD, and TTDA, lead to human recessive genetic disorders such as trichothiodystrophy and xeroderma pigmentosum, the latter of which is sometimes associated with Cockayne's syndrome. In the present study, we investigate the sequence conservation of TFIIH subunits among several teleost fish species and compare their characteristics and putative regulation by transcription factors to those of human and zebrafish. We report the following findings: (i) comparisons among protein sequences revealed a high sequence identity for each TFIIH subunit analysed; (ii) among transcription factors identified as putative regulators, OCT1 and AP1 have the highest binding-site frequencies in the promoters of TFIIH genes, and (iii) TFIIH genes have alternatively spliced isoforms. Finally , we compared the protein primary structure in human and zebrafish of XPD and XPB - two important ATP-dependent helicases that catalyse the unwinding of the DNA duplex at promoters during transcription - highlighting the conservation of domain regions such as the helicase domains. Our study suggests that zebrafish, a widely used model for many human diseases, could also act as an important model to study the function of TFIIH complex in repair and transcription regulation in humans.Authors: Iris Silva, Cymon Cox, Ricardo Leite, Leonor Cancela, Natércia ConceiçãoMiR-29a is an enhancer of mineral deposition in bone-derived systems.Archives of Biochemistry and BiophysicsSeptember 2014MicroRNAs (miRNAs) provide a mechanism for fine-tuning of intricate cellular processes through post-transcriptional regulation. Emerging evidences indicate that miRNAs play key roles in regulation of osteogenesis. The miR-29 family was previously implicated in mammalian osteoblast differentiation by targeting extracellular matrix molecules and modulating Wnt signaling. Nevertheless, the function of miR-29 in bone formation and homeostasis is not completely understood. Here, we provide novel insights into the biological effect of miR-29a overexpression in a mineralogenic cell system (ABSa15). MiR-29a gain of function resulted in significant increase of extracellular matrix mineralization, probably due to accelerated differentiation. We also demonstrated for the first time that miR-29a induced β-catenin protein levels, implying a stimulation of canonical Wnt signaling. Our data also suggests that SPARC is a conserved target of miR-29, and may contribute to the phenotype observed in ABSa15 cells. Finally , we provide evidences for miR-29 conservation throughout evolution based on sequence homology, synteny analysis and expression patterns. Concluding, miR-29a is a key player in osteogenic differentiation, leading to increased mineralization in vitro, and this function seems to be conserved throughout vertebrate evolution by interaction with canonical Wnt signaling and conservation of targets.Authors: Vânia Roberto, Daniel Tiago, Iris Silva, Leonor CancelaCan zebrafish be a valid model to study Paget's disease of bone?Journal of Applied IchthyologyAugust 2014Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is the second most frequent metabolic bone disease after osteoporosis. Genetic factors play an important role in PDB, but to date the only PDB causal gene identified is the Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) gene. Because the zebrafish has been validated as a model for human genetic diseases, the objective was to investigate if the gene structure and chromosomal environment of the SQSTM1 were similar between zebrafish and humans, thus providing a basis for developing a mutant fish capable of modeling PDB. Through a comparative in silico analysis, we confirmed that zebrafish sqstm1 shares not only the same gene structure as its fish and mammalian orthologs, but they also present, within their promoter regions, similar putative binding sites for common transcriptional factors known to affect bone metabolism. The synteny of SQSTM1 was also determined and results indicate that the cluster of surrounding genes was conserved throughout evolution. The protein comparison revealed a high degree of conservation, particularly in the functional domains of the protein. The most common mutation in PDB patients is p.Pro392Leu and the residue Pro392 was found to be 100% conserved in all species analyzed, including zebrafish, confirming its known functional relevance. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that SQSTM1 is well conserved throughout evolution and therefore fish models such as the zebrafish could be an interesting tool to further investigate the biological role of SQSTM1 in PDB and in bone development.Authors: Iris Silva, Natércia Conceição, Laetitia Michou, Leonor CancelaCloning, characterization and analysis of the 5' regulatory region of zebrafish xpd gene.Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol.July 2015The gene XPD/ERCC2 encodes an ATP-dependent 5'-3' helicase of 760 amino acids. There are few transcription factors known to be involved in the regulation of XPD, and these include the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), p53, hepatitis B virus x protein (HBx) and specificity protein 1 (Sp1). To identify functional elements of xpd gene in fish we employed a comparative genomic approach. In our in silico attempt to identify cis-regulatory transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) conserved among the xpd promoter sequences from five available fish species, we verified that in some cases the spatial disposition of the putative TFBSs was not maintained, but they were present in all the sequences, allowing the prediction of conserved regulatory elements within the promoter sequences analysed. We also investigated the transcriptional regulation of the zebrafish xpd gene. Our in vitro transient transfection-reporter analysis identified a region in the zebrafish xpd gene responsible for xpd regulation, along with regulatory regions that inhibit the activity of this promoter in somatic cells. Moreover, we found two p53 binding sites in the xpd promoter and upon co-transfection assays we observed a repression due to p53. This provides the first identification and characterization of promoter regions that regulate the transcription of the zebrafish xpd gene, and offers insights into the regulation of this gene by p53. Together, these studies further support the utility of comparative genomics to uncover gene regulatory sequences based on evolutionary conservation and provide the basic information to explore and better understand the regulation and expression of XPD.Authors: Iris Silva, Natércia ConceiçãoEducationUniversidade do AlgarvePhD, Biomedical Sciences/Human GeneticsPhD, Biomedical Sciences/Human Genetics
