DiLaDi is an interdisciplinary project that aims to perform a novel comprehensive study on the variation of the Latin Language over the 1st millennium A.D. considering the geographical and chronological perspectives as well as the transition from Latin to Romance by processing and analysing textual errors (deviations from the norm) of ancient and early medieval primary documents with the help of the Computerized Historical Linguistic Database of Latin Inscriptions of the Imperial Age (LLDB) that employs a revolutionary method of data analysis. DiLaDi aims to give a breakthrough impetus to relevant research by involving a group of sources that have so far not been adequately considered in research: original parchment charters of private law from mostly the 7th-8th centuries, that are available in large numbers and are very rich in data reflecting linguistic changes, the involvement of which could open up further perspectives for the research of history and dialectology of late Latin based on working with a Database which has so far relied mainly on inscriptions. The project plan will be implemented by a 10-person research group with the help of a large data collection team in international collaboration. Within the project framework, at least 50,000 new data forms will be added to the unique LLDB Database, while results will be disseminated through the organisation of 5 international workshops, the delivery of at least 50 lectures, and the publication of 50 studies and 1 monograph; at the same time, potential future collaborators will be educated in at least 5 university courses, while the scientific advancement of the participating researchers will be ensured by the submission of 3 PhD theses and 1 habilitation thesis. As a result, this research will allow for a better understanding of the processes that led to the development of Romance languages and determined the linguistic, ethnic, and even cultural features of medieval and modern Europe.

Protein structure and consequently function is influenced by the cellular content. The array of splice variants, post-translational modifications, cleavages and the ability to bind cofactors and drugs, is governed by the surrounding cellular milieu. This is determined by internal and external cues such as cell type, developmental stage, stress conditions, disease and aging, which give rise to an ensemble of distinct protein entities. To study this diversity, there is a need for methods that enable structural studies under “close-to-life” conditions, maintaining the natural environment and biological diversity, features that are often lost during biochemical purifications. Our recent discovery that native MS can be conducted within crude cellular lysates (direct-MS), while preserving the biological context, offers many new experimental avenues for investigating protein interactions and diversity. Here, we propose to take native MS to a new dimension: enabling a systemic view of cellular structure biology by endorsing technological, computational and methodological developments. To do this we will: (i) Establish a platform for high-throughput screening of protein interactions. (ii) Unravel protein interactions in human and other eukaryotic cells; (iii) Develop a method for whole-organ direct-MS analysis, unravelling the tissue-specific proteoform landscape. Each of our three independent but complementary aims involves a different biological system, going from bacteria through human cells to intact tissues. Together, these advances, in conjunction with the high-resolution and sensitivity afforded by current mass spectrometers, has the potential to advance a plethora of fields, including cell biology, pharmacology and biotechnology. Overall, we anticipate this project will promote the integration of direct-MS into the cellular structural biology toolkit, providing valuable insights not attained by other structural biology methods or artificial intelligence algorithms.

The understanding of the microscopic origin of chaos and thermal effects in the physics of black holes is very challenging. Such fundamental aspects seem to be intimately connected, but a microscopic analytical description of their interplay is still missing. The quantum gravity description of these aspects could help clarify their microscopic interconnection. The project I propose has the ambition to probe black hole states through highly excited string and coherent string states, providing a quantum microscopic description of chaos, thermal effects and information theory. The main observables are scattering and decay processes. The research programme contains the following parts. First, a general strategy will be developed to measure, and analytically control, chaos in physical processes involving black holes, such as black hole decays and black hole Compton scattering. In particular, a quantitative measure of chaos will be introduced using Random Matrix Theory techniques and the relative Lyapunov exponents will be computed. Second, in order to study thermal effects in black hole processes, the triggering of the thermalization phase driven by chaos will be investigated. Finally, the project will consider the following direct applications. The first one will be the study of chaotic signatures in wave forms and quasi-normal modes of gravitational and electro-magnetic waves; the second will concern the realization of black hole horizons in terms of highly excited string and coherent string form factors.

SULPHURREAL aims at demonstrating and validating a breakthrough approach for next generation, carbon-free, direct conversion of solar energy into chemicals storable for a virtually unlimited time, based on elemental sulphur produced and consumed on-demand via a solar-aided thermochemical cycle. The project is targeted on the one hand to develop disruptive catalytic technologies for the two catalytic steps of this solid sulphur thermochemical cycle, namely the high- (800-850 C) and medium- (600-650 C) temperature catalytic SO3 splitting to SO2 and oxygen and the subsequent disproportionation of SO2 to solid sulphur and sulphuric acid. The research line involves identifying, developing and testing novel catalysts and reactor designs under operating conditions so that these two, less developed steps of the cycle cf. sulphur combustion, can be integrated and performed in sequence with maximum compatibility in a first-of-its kind integrated approach. Innovations to be introduced concern not only novel catalyst compositions but also novel reactor designs and methods of applying and distributing the catalysts within the reactors, to achieve maximum utilisation of the active catalytic materials and optimal combination of improved performance, conversion efficiency and process cost reduction. On the other hand, SULPHURREAL will further develop and upscale a first-of-its-kind sulphur burner operating at power density > 5 MW/ m³ at ambient pressure and having demonstrated potential for prolonged operation at power densities of > 75 MW/cbm for typical operating pressure of 15 bar by simulations. The proposed combination integrates renewable energy sources (solar energy) with valorisation of non-CRM substances currently produced as industrial by-products from oil and gas (solid sulphur) and steel industries (Fe-containing slags) and industrial-scale chemicals production (sulphuric acid industry) in absolute accordance with a circular economy environment and industrial symbiosis.

The brain vessel tree is essential to brain function. However, we still have limited knowledge about this structure compared to other organs that have been extensively studied. While atlases have been helpful in advancing our understanding of the brain in neurosciences, the same progress has not been seen for the brain vessel tree. Its extraction, modelling, and analysis still pose several methodological challenges, making it impossible to accurately, robustly, reliably, and reproducibly quantify and compare it across individuals within large populations. As a result, brain vascular atlases that provide a comprehensive representation of the brain vessel tree are scarce, and the existing ones face important limitations. This is a critical bottleneck towards understanding the role played by the neurovasculature in pathology onset, ageing, and well-being. CARAVEL is an ambitious project at the intersection of biomedical imaging, neuroscience, computer vision, statistics and medicine, aiming to transform neurovascular image analysis. It will devise a radical new approach to build and provide the first population atlas of brain vascular ageing, encompassing multiple scales, and it will formulate a robust and reliable methodological framework to accurately extract, model and analyse the brain vessel tree in a reproducible way. Our efforts will enable the study of the brain's vascular system at a scale that is currently unattainable. The atlas and its methodological framework will be freely available to the scientific community. This will help clinicians and researchers to test and validate new hypotheses, discover knowledge about the brain vessel tree and its interaction with the brain, and contribute to numerous clinical applications. Hence, CARAVEL shall have a tremendous impact on society and the economy.

THUMBS UP aims to develop and demonstrate thermal energy storage (TES) at daily (based on environmental friendly PCM) and weekly level (based on TCM sorption technology) solutions to be easily integrated in EU buildings (both connected and not-connected to DHN) to increase their energy efficiency as well as to exploit Power-to-Heat (PtH) approaches also to make EU Buildings as grid flexibility actors. THUMBS UP wants to overcome all the limits of state-of-the-art building-integrated PCM and TCM TES technologies, increasing TES energy density and reducing CAPEX. THUMBS UP innovates at different levels, from modelling to materials and enhance heat exchanger solutions, targeting demonstration at TRL 7. High-performance TES solutions part of an EU sustainable economy is a factor at the core of THUMBS UP. The project develops truly i) bio-based PCMs from raw materials currently wasted in the EU food industry, turning them into valuable TES materials and ii) TCMs relying exclusively on non-hazardous materials and on water as working fluid. THUMBS UP TES will be demonstrated in 3 demosites (a single-family building in Spain and 2 multi-family buildings in Sweden/Spain) in different EU climates and energy market contexts also to assess THUMBS UP replication potential in two replication sites (ITA, NL). Via its demonstration and replication campaign, THUMBS UP promotes TES role as key enabling technology to optimize thermal comfort and energy efficiency in buildings as well as to promote PtH as facilitator of RES grid integration in a sector coupling approach, to be studied via innovative modelling tools. THUMBS UP gives specific attention to how to fully integrate TES solutions into buildings and wider smart energy networks by combining the technology advancements with TES-tailored digital innovations. THUMBS UP widens the capability to control, monitor and forecasts how to operate building-integrated TES systems to provide services toward both the H&C and power sector.

Native vs. Borrowed Morphologies: The Case of Trojan Horse Participles in Senhaja Amazigh (Berber) (NABOR)

Understanding how morphologies from different languages co-exist in the bilingual brain is a central testing ground for theories of language in the brain. NABOR investigates the differences in interpretation and processing of native vs. borrowed morphologies in the context of language contact among bilingual speakers of Senhaja Amazigh (Berber) and Arabic in Morocco. Strikingly, Senhaja has borrowed a whole morphological word class, Arabic participles, used among other to express TAM (Tense, Aspect, Modality). We call them “Trojan Horse participles” as they are borrowed with lexical content (roots) and agreement inflection (morphology). To describe situations akin to this, Gardani 2021 uses the term co-morphologies. Here, two morphologies are used in parallel: one with native, and one with foreign lexicon. NABOR investigates whether co-morphologies are psycholinguistically different (in processing) from morphological borrowing, where foreign morphology spreads to the native lexicon. To what extent are identical chunks of grammar shared by two languages processed as belonging to one grammar? We will tackle this question on the basis of Senhaja TAM constructions employing participles. Such participles present an important testcase for understanding how bilingual grammar is organized. It is rare that linguists can study co-morphologies in the field. Various tests will be run to investigate the processing of co-morphologies. We will perform semantic analysis on narrative production, and psycholinguistic experiments on the processing of morphological agreement. This will provide a window into questions of grammar representation. Previous research on bilingual processing has focused on codeswitching, while the psycholinguistic status of co-morphologies has not been studied. The research questions are new, and fill a gap in our understanding of bilingual cognitive realities, while also expanding our understanding of underdocumented morphological systems.
