ATHENA detector proposal — a totally hermetic electron nucleus apparatus proposed for IP6 at the Electron-Ion Collider

ATHENA has been designed as a general purpose detector capable of delivering the full scientific scope of the Electron-Ion Collider. Careful technology choices provide fine tracking and momentum resolution, high performance electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry, hadron identification over a wide kinematic range, and near-complete hermeticity. This article describes the detector design and its expected performance in the most relevant physics channels. It includes an evaluation of detector technology choices, the technical challenges to realizing the detector and the R&D required to meet those challenges

Synteza mikrofalowa kwasu sulfanilowego

Sulfanilic acid represents an important substance, which is frequently utilized in the industry of azo dyes as well as in drug development of antimicrobials (e.g. of sulfonamides). Students can also meet with such type of compounds in chemistry labs, for example, when they estimate pH by methyl orange indicator or prepare Orange II for textile colouring. Both of these dyes are products of azo coupling of sulfanilic acid as diazonium salt with N,N-dimethylaniline or 2-naphthol, respectively. In the article, we focus on the synthesis of sulfanilic acid as a well-known experiment in the organic chemistry education. The synthesis was modified as the solvent free and microwave assisted experiment under semimicroscale conditions. That experiment is very convenient for the organic chemistry courses in the university or the high school teaching.Kwas sulfanilowy stanowi ważną substancję, często stosowaną w przemyśle barwników azowych, jak również w produkcji leków przeciwdrobnoustrojowych (np. sulfonamidów). Studenci mogą również spotykać się z takimi związkami w laboratoriach chemicznych, na przykład przy oznaczaniu pH z wykorzystaniem oranżu metylowego lub przy przygotowywaniu Oranżu II dla przemysłu tekstylnego. Oba te barwniki są produktami sprzężenia soli diazoniowych kwasu sulfanilowego odpowiednio z N,N-dimetyloaniliną lub 2-naftolem. W artykule przedstawiono syntezę kwasu sulfanilowego jako przykład dobrze znanego eksperymentu w edukacji chemii organicznej. Syntezę zmodyfikowano jako reakcję bez rozpuszczalników i wspomagano mikrofalowo w warunkach półmikropreparacji. Eksperyment ten powinien być przedstawiany podczas kursów chemii organicznej na uniwersytecie lub w szkole średniej

Estimating conformational landscapes from Cryo-EM particles by 3D Zernike polynomials

Conformational heterogeneity is key to understand how macromolecular function and structure converge. Here, the authors propose an algorithm designed to estimate structural landscapes directly from Cryo-EM particle images

D3.1: Best Practices in IP

The following analysis is aimed at identifying best practices on legal rules and contractual transfers of rights in the area of public sector works in different European Union countries. A particular attention is devoted to cultural institutions legal rules and practices as well. More precisely, this document focuses on three different levels of the public sector works production and circulation: i. legal rules on protectability of works, ii. legal rules and contractual practices on rights ownership, iii. legal rules and other practices implemented within the cultural institutions. Please note that this deliverable was written on the basis of national responses to the questionnaire provided by the LAPSI 2.0 partners and that this list is not intended to be exhaustive. This deliverable mainly focuses on copyright, while the sui generis database protection will be further analysed at a later stage
