The EULOSAM project will deliver a large scale half-model to be tested in a pressurized low speed wind tunnel (WT). The model design will be performed under a previous CfP topic (JTI-CS-2010-3-SFWA-02-007), while Dassault Aviation will deliver a fuselage that has to be modified in order to fit the new laminar wing. The fuselage modifications must be designed in such a way that the fuselage can return to its original shape after the WT test campaign. The model will be composed by different parts, therefore, according to the requirements reported in the JTI-CS-2012-02-SFWA-02-029, special care will be dedicated to the surface refinement, to the leading edge slat waviness and model assembly avoiding step/gap. A control of gap and overlap for the flap and slat under representative loads for each configuration (Take-off & Landing) will be performed. In addition, the integration of the pressure instrumentation will be performed by minimizing the impact on the flow. The model will include: 1 A left-hand side modular wing; 2 A set of body-wing fairings to fit with the fuselage; 3 A left hand side cross-shaped Horizontal Tail Plane (HTP) that fits with the former model HTP root chord; 4 A simplified main landing gear and its cavity. The project will contribute • in pushing forward the design of a future jet based on natural laminar flow technology increasing and strengthen the competitiveness of European manufacturing industry • to the need to improve the environmental impact of aircraft with regards to emissions. The project consortium consists of 3 Small Enterprises who already participated to European projects and have the technical skill and the ability to deliver as result the products before listed according to the JTI-CS-2012-02-SFWA-02-029 requirements. The personnel involved have significant experience in the areas of mechanical wing design, structural verification by FEM and wind tunnel model manufacturing.

The objective of this proposal is to develop and validate a robust and reliable ring-rolling-only route for manufacturing IN718 alloy near-net-shaped rotating aero-engine disk components, RORC (e.g., low-pressure turbine disks). The material and mechanical response of the RORC must comply with the current microstructural and mechanical requirements demanded for close-die forged disks with an economical advantage (more efficient use of raw material and lower manufacturing costs). The proposal represents the collaborative effort of an experienced company specialised in ring-rolling of superalloys and a technological research centre with great competence in thermo-mechanical processes analysis and modelling. Development of an advanced predictive RR modelling tool is a pre-requisite for the success of the proposal; laboratory experiments will be performed for developing a predictive constitutive description of the behaviour of the alloy in conditions reproducing actual RR operation sequences. From the industrial part, full-size rings will be produced by rolling alone and tested back-to back with geometrically similar close-die forged (CDF) rings as demonstrators of the competitiveness of the new process route. The results of the project will also highlight the limits of the current RR technology and provide with clues for its further improvement.

According to the call topic, the goal of the project is to optimize the design of a subsonic jet pump, to reduce as much as possible the noise level. The optimization of the subsonic jet pump will be done from the aerodynamic point of view and two type of analyses will be used, a RANS analysis as a “fast-screening” procedure to be able to identify using such techniques a trend in the flow behavior when performing a parameter study and a time dependent analysis with the more time-consuming but more accurate and more reliable, Large Eddy Simulation, for only the most promising or thought-provoking configurations. The acoustic treatment for further reducing the noise levels of the jet pump, in any configuration, is the application of noise treatment in the mixing part, and/or in the diffuser. From the acoustic treatment standpoint, there are two ways of attaching the noise reduction problem. First, the passive acoustic treatment, and second, which will be considered in the following, composed of resonant - absorbent structures. Tanking into consideration the aerodynamic optimization and the acoustic treatment a demonstrator with different configurations will be tested in the anechoic chamber where the velocity field and acoustics will be measured and compared with the numerical results.

This project is to validate a cleaning device capable of clearing out small debris from the leading edges of business jets or airliners, to keep the flow as laminar as possible on the leading edge of the wing. The cleaning concept will be compatible with the surface treatment of the leading edge of commercial aircrafts. Typically this concerns the contamination of leading edges by insect impact. At first, the system will be designed and a prototype manufactured. In parallel, aerodynamic and stress models will be studied. Then ground experiments including tests in a wind tunnel will be performed, in view of prototype validation.The prototype will be subsequently modified and validated. Conclusions will help for the industrialisation of the cleaning system. The consortium will be led by EPFL, who co-ordinated a preliminary project on the design of such cleaning devices in the CleanSky call 3 CLEANLE, with several partners for manufacturing, consulting, experiment running and analysis, including a design office SME, and university windtunnel experts. The project will lead to a test prototype. The present project will push the concepts, that have attained a Research Technology Readiness Level, TRL near to TRL3 (research to prove feasibility), to evolve on the system/subsystem model and prototype demonstrator of a technology demonstration of TRL 6.

TransDRiM is an advanced training and research project focused on transboundary drought management at the river basin scale, in the context of the Water Framework Directive implementation. The proposed methodologies are applied to the Guadiana river basin, the fourth largest within the Iberian Peninsula, where shared watersheds between Portugal and Spain account for over 2/3 of its territory. The Guadiana is of particular interest because of its relative aridity, water scarcity, and high drought risk conditions. A political agreement (the Albufeira Convention) regulates cooperation and conflicts on water issues between the two countries, but an exception regime is applied under drought conditions – thus, when most needed, common management is reduced to a minimum. Furthermore, water planning remains strictly at the national level, and public participation continues to be insignificant, contrary to the WFD guidelines. TransDRiM seeks to minimize environmental, social and economic impacts of cross-border drought events, reduce potential conflicts on water uses and availability between both riparian countries, and provide a methodological framework for transboundary drought risk management across EU river basins. In order to reach these goals, the following specific research objectives will be pursued: Identify the potential and constraints for a transboundary policy of drought risk management; Assess the compatibility of the two national planning structures; Provide technical solutions to establish a transboundary and operational drought management framework; Assess the feasibility of transboundary drought response measures proposed, based on their economic, political and social criteria. TransDRiM will address these tasks based on a territorial and interdisciplinary approach, learning from both the host experience in the subject, the tailored training programme based on GIS and other integrative tools, and the researcher ability to work on an international context.

The aim of the proposal is to develop a new family of phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes as dual phosphorescent emitters. The goal is to obtain a complex with a first phosphorescent band below 500 nm and a second around 600 nm in order to have white emission. The strategy revolves around a tris-heteroleptic cyclometalated iridium complex with two different main C^N ligands and one ancillary ligand. The tris-heteroleptic nature of the complex leads to two possible triplet emitting states, T1a and T1b, due to the excited state possibly localized on one or the other C^N ligand. In addition of providing novel insights and tools for understanding and controlling the properties of phosphorescent organometallic materials, the long term goal is to achieve white emission from a single emitting center for electroluminescence applications.

Some novel Nevanlinna type results in different branches of mathematics (NEVANLINNA)

Fundamental results in Nevanlinna value distribution theory (one of the greatest achievements of the century, in words of Herman Weyl) and the theory of covering surfaces by Ahlfors (who was among the very first Fields medalists) complemented the list of results of general nature in the complex analysis (i.e. those results that relate to the most important and largest classes of analytic or meromorphic functions). Since 1970s several new results of similar general nature were obtained. Concerning earlier publications see the book [21], 2002, where nearly 10 preceding results related to arbitrary meromorphic functions are presented; concerning recent publications see papers [31] and [34] involving more than 15 results related to the very large classes of plane curves, real functions, algebraic functions as well as to solutions of large classes of equations. Most of these results are closely connected with the Nevanlinna and Ahlfors theories and, in fact, transfer ideas and methods of these theories (complex analysis) into real analysis (where we study highly applicable level sets of real functions), differential geometry (where we obtain Nevanlinna type of results for curves and surfaces), algebraic geometry (where we combine Ideas of Nevanlinna theory with Hilbert problem 16). In all these fields we obtain novel type analogs of famous Nevanlinna deficiency relation. Thus some novel bridges are established between different parts of mathematics which clearly lead to a number of new projects. We mention here two of them. The one concern brand new "universal version of value distribution theory" which is valid for arbitrary meromorphic function in any domain. This will be applied to complex differential equations to study corresponding solutions in arbitrary domains: (very important in applications). Another one concerns differential geometry: we are about to construct Nevanlinna theory for large classes of surfaces including those of minimal surfaces.

Sustainable expansion of European fish farming is dependent on feeds relying less on fishmeal. European researches and industry initiatives over the last decade have resulted in a significantly decrease in the share of fishmeal in fish feeds, but current replacement rates seem to be close to the physiological capacity of the different species. This project will use one of the most important cultured fish in Europe (Sparus aurata) as animal model, to look for a novel strategy for increasing the use of plant meals in aquafeeds, addressing a key question in today nutrition research: can early diet influences long-term outcome? Hence, the main objective is to assess if early manipulations in fish larva can encourage a better use of plant proteins in later life. This issue (nutritional programming, in its wider sense) has been poorly studied in animals other than humans and mammalian models. The project will focus at four different levels: epigenetic programming, compensatory responses, microbiota changes, and growth outcome produced by early exposure to plant proteins and pro/prebiotics. The multidisciplinary nature of the project is strong, involving a combination of well developed biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology and aquaculture. This proposal includes both the transfer of knowledge to the host institution and the training of the candidate in new advanced techniques. Results have the potential capacity to increase the competitiveness of the Mediterranean aquaculture and provide room for further studies at the fundamental and applied levels in S. aurata, and other European cultured fishes. This project is in line with the EU strategy for the sustainable development of aquaculture.

Gastric bypass surgery (GBP) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) result in 40% weight loss with normalization of metabolism in severely obese patients. Protein deficiencies have been described after bypass surgeries. Guidelines recommend protein supplementation after the surgery, but without evidence based data to support these recommendations. Dietary proteins have positive effects on energy homeostasis by inducing satiety, maintaining lean body mass and increasing resting energy expenditure during calorie restriction, but may promote insulin resistance. Our goal is to test the effect of standard (SP) or high (HP) levels of dietary protein supplementation in patients undergoing GBP and VSG, randomized to SP or HP, and studied before and up to 24 months after surgery. Compared to SP supplementation, HP supplementation will: 1) Reduce the improvement in glucose homeostasis and in insulin sensitivity 2) Prevent protein turnover 3) Decrease 24-h energy expenditure 4) Maintain a greater lean body mass 5) Increase satiety to a greater degree 6) Patients after VSG, a restrictive only surgery, will fair better than after GBP, a restrictive and malabsorptive surgery, in terms of protein balance This study will help develop evidence-based clinical recommendation for safe and efficient dietary protein supplementation and stratify risk during surgical weight loss.
