Large quantities of waste heat are continuously rejected from industries. Most of this waste energy, however, is of low-quality and is not practical or economical to recover it with current technologies. The Indus3Es project will develop an innovative Absorption Heat Transformer (AHT) for this purpose, focused on low temperature waste heat recovery (below 130ºC). The Indus3Es System will effectively recover and revalorize about 50% of the low-temperature waste heat, increasing quality of the waste source to the required temperature and reusing it again in the industrial process. The main objective is to develop an economically viable solution for industry, appropriate for new but also for existing plants and adaptable to various industrial processes. The developed system will be demonstrated in real environment in Tupras, a petrochemical industry in Turkey, enabling to analyze besides integration aspects, operational and business issues of Indus3Es System. Indus3Es System will be defined and optimized for different specificities in different sectors and industrial processes, for which up-scaling of the demonstrated technology and replication studies will be performed. Market potential evaluation and business analysis will be performed by industrial partners in order to guarantee a successful exploitation of the system in a short future. Indus3Es system will have a relevant impact making possible an energy efficiency increase and primary energy consumption of most energetic intensive industries in Europe. The embodied energy, the environmental footprint of the products and the manufacturing costs of energy intensive industries will be reduced, increasing the competitiveness of European products. Moreover, it will allow a sustainable economic activity for local “auxiliary” companies, usually SMEs, in high added value services related to the energy efficiency measures for industry.

The REACMIN solution developed by TIESSEPI envisions a treatment plant which will allow the thermally induced crystal-chemical transformation of 400,000 tonnes of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) in 5 years. TIESSEPI’s system will thus place in the market a completely transformed asbestos-free product suitable to be used as a Secondary Raw Material (SRM) for other industrial uses such as concrete production, road building or environmental restoration with a forecasted turnover of 10 million Euros in five years per each installed plant. Before the discovery of its high toxicity, asbestos was for a long time considered as an extremely versatile and cheap raw material for building materials, automotive parts and even textile and other domestic products. In Europe, more than 40% of residential buildings were constructed before the 1960s and in the 1990s a large boom in construction still used asbestos. Health costs for diseases related to asbestos exposure amount over M€ 1,600 per year in Europe , so it is a main target to remove all remaining ACM. Only in Italy 2 billion m2 of asbestos-cement slates still cover roofs of industrial plants and civil buildings . Moreover, yet in 2012, rather than falling, worldwide asbestos production increased. The most extended current process for asbestos disposal is landfill in authorized sites. Associated costs are expensive, in the range of 150-300 €/Tn and no zero risk of fibres emission can be assured in the medium-long term. Other technologies based in thermal conversion exist but the only one at commercial level is up to 13 times more expensive than REACMIN system. The objectives of REACMIN project are: Demonstrate the technology by building a pilot plant with optimal security measures and acceptable costs (< 65 €/Tn). Test the resulting product suitability for the industrial production of concrete tiles Expand business model in other real industrial processes (glass, ceramics) Assure Zero risk of fibres release

The ultimate goal of this Fellowship, entitled “FLAgellated MicroswimmErs’ locomotioN in Confined flOws” (FLAMENCO) is to train a talented researcher in computational modelling of micro-swimming. A variety of interdisciplinary training activities are planned with the purpose of transferring the cutting-edge knowledge in theoretical, computational and experimental microswimmer dynamics. The specialist training will be provided by Queen Mary University (Engineering Department), which, through this action, will establish a long-term collaboration network with the University of Warwick (Physics Department), the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, and the University of Padova (Department of Medicine). The interdisciplinarity of the institutes involved will allow the experienced researcher (ER) to appreciate the potential of the acquired knowledge for tackling problems relevant to field as diverse as engineering, biology, reproductive medicine and medical diagnostic. The innovation of this program consists in aiming at the quantitative understanding and mathematical modelling of phenomena that can mainly be described qualitatively at present. The outcomes will potentially provide the tools and body of knowledge for controlling and manipulating microswimmers near the solid surfaces. The intermediate objectives (deliverables) of this research project are (1) the derivation of a validated micro-swimmer/ surface interaction model, (2) a validated swimming swarm model at high-fidelity and ‘low-order’ level, (3) recommendations for separating swimming spermatozoa based on their motility.

The aim of the proposed research is to investigate the integrative function of bodily metaphors within the Old Norse Literature and Culture. The research will span the culturally important transition from pre-Christian culture to the products of Christian literacy. Its starting point will be the mythic narratives connected with initiation and sacrifice, which have a foremost position in the pre-Christian religion and which are especially rich in the cognitive metaphors of the human body. These myths and rituals exerted an influence as a pattern or model for the whole society, and provide thus an excellent tool for the understanding of its symbolic system and values. In the next step of the project the transition towards Christianity will be explored and assessed, especially its reevaluation of cognitive metaphors of the body, with the aim to map the transformations of symbolism on the borders of two cultural and religious systems. This endeavour will provide a completely new theory shedding new light on the production of meaning in culture and its reinterpretations. The research itself is to be naturally interdisciplinary, integrating religious studies, philology, cognitive linguistics, anthropology and folkloristics. My previous research prepared me for this task to a certain degree, but knowledge exchange is needed to bring it to a completion, especially consultations with scholars and experts in the field of Old Norse Studies. All this can be achieved by a 18 months research internship at the University in Bergen, which provides the best academic conditions for this project, supervised by prof. Jens Eike Schnall, and by a 6 month secondment in Reykjavík, at the University of Iceland and at the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies. This project will apply innovative interdisciplinary approach to the topic and initiate a collaboration between Prague and Bergen and Prague and Reykjavík researchers in Old Norse religion.

The long-term vision of Pathfinder is to kick-start a wireless 2.0 paradigm where wireless channels will adapt to the operation of cellular networks, allowing networks to overcome the inherent limitations imposed by wireless channels hitherto. In this course, Pathfinder builds upon the advancements in the area of electromagnetic meta-materials that can control and manipulate radio waves. This technology allows for designing and fabricating software reconfigurable intelligent meta-surfaces (RISs) that dynamically optimize the wireless channels in response to the dynamic behavior of radio waves, showing an unprecedented potential to control waves from within the wireless channels. This control allows for radio waves to circumvent physical obstacles, improving network coverage, while the phase alignment of RIS constituent elements can maximize the power at the receiver through constructive interference. This, can increase data-rates and reduce the transmit power. Furthermore, sensors and IoT devices can “recycle” and backscatter the ambient radio waves through RISs instead of generating their own, realizing the objective of smart, interconnected cities by employing passive elements that neither generate radio waves nor consume power to generate them. In this setup, the overarching objective of Pathfinder is to set the theoretical and algorithmic foundations of RIS enabled wireless 2.0 networks by deriving: (1) physics-inspired models for the RIS/radio wave interaction. (2) communication & information-theoretic models for RISs networks. (3) models for large-scale analysis of RIS networks. (4) algorithms for the design and optimization of RIS operation. (5) measurements for the experimental verification of the developed models and algorithms. The realization of these objectives can indeed transform wireless networks, driving the economic and intellectual growth of all European society, creating new jobs, increasing revenues and simplifying our lives.

Numerical chronologies decisively determine the understanding and Numerical chronologies decisively determine the understanding and interpretation of environmental processes in the Earth Sciences and patterns of human evolution in the Archaeological Sciences. Of interest are the onset, duration, and intensity of events and phases. Luminescence dating is an event-based dosimetric age determination technique and one of the leading chronological methods in Quaternary science. However, methodological diversity and complexity, and the absence of community-wide protocol and calibration standards limit overall accuracy and precision. This project will contribute to the accuracy and precision of luminescence-based chronologies by implementing Chronological REference Datasets and Sites (CREDit) in a bottom-up approach. (1) An annually layered sediment core from the Eifel-Laminated-Sediment-Archive (ELSA) will provide a well-dated reference site to test luminescence dating methods and investigate their uncertainty structure. (2) A luminescence reference dataset will be deployed based on measured, and artificially generated data using energy-band models. (3) Both datasets will be used to test (a) luminescence data analysis tools and (b) models depending on accurate chronologies, e.g., age-depth models. The project will deliver a new approach to test luminescence dating methods using an independently high-resolution dated reference site. Additionally, the reference dataset will be designed to allow testing and certifying luminescence data analysis tools. Beyond these goals, the project will give valuable insights into the uncertainty structure of luminescence ages, and it will considerably improve the quality of luminescence-based chronologies. A clear open-access dissemination strategy will support the sustainability of the project in Quaternary science and the exploitation of the results in adjacent scientific disciplines following the Open Science initiative of Horizon 2020.
