One of the greatest challenges facing the electric power industry is how to deliver the energy in a useable form as a higher-value product, especially in the area of renewable energy. By storing the power produced from immense renewable sources off-peak (e.g., daytime for solar energy) and releasing it during on-peak periods, energy storage can transform low-value, unscheduled power into high-value “green” products. The development of high-energy and high-power storage devices has been one of the research areas of top-most importance in recent years. Lithium batteries currently have the highest energy storage density of any rechargeable battery technology. Their behavior is based on the classical intercalation reaction during which lithium is inserted into or extracted from both cathode and anode. Huge volume changes are associated with this process, often resulting in disintegration of the material. Exploration of nanostructure is one of the encouraging research directions in order to avoid materials failure. Experiments suggest that size reduction is an effective strategy in creating fracture resistant electrodes. Using a combination of diffusion kinetics available in the literature and fracture mechanics, the first part of project aims at giving insights on the critical size for flaw tolerant nano-structured battery electrodes. Approximated analysis of crack coalescence and debonding at the interface between active particles and porous electrodes will be achieved by means of new ad-hoc multi-physics cohesive interfaces. Since effects at different scales are involved during charge/discharge cycles, the simulation of the mechanical response of Li-Battery systems requires a multi-scale approach. The second part of the project aims at enriching current computational homogenization techniques - originally developed in the framework of elasticity for heterogeneous materials - as a tool to model the electrochemical-mechanical interactions in lithium batteries.

The goal of the MOLSURMOF project presented in the frame of the Marie Curie IEF Action is the loading of metal-organic crystalline and porous frameworks anchored to solid surfaces (SURMOFs) with organic electroactive molecules in order to measure their electrical properties. The use of SURMOFs as high density containers for electroactive molecular nano-objects shall produce surface coatings for which the measurement of the electrical properties does not represent a formidable problem, differently from what happens using MOFs obtained by the solvothermal synthesis process. To load the SURMOFs two main strategies will be followed: 1) evacuation of the SURMOF by heating it up in air at a known and controlled temperature and then exposure to the vapors of the guest molecule; 2) loading of the SURMOF under flow conditions, i.e. during its surface growth. The general objective of the proposed project is to measure transport of the electrons through the loaded SURMOF or the conductivity arising from the transport of mobile species by means of a three electrodes set up or, when possible, of scanning probe microscopy technique combined with electrochemistry. The results of this research shall pave the way towards the use of these coatings in electrical or electronic applications. Furthermore, by the accomplishment of the scientific objectives through a multidisciplinary approach, a young female researcher will be given the opportunity to receive an excellent and complete training-through-research inside Europe and to reach the professional maturity needed for her future career as independent researcher.

The implantable-cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is an effective treatment for terminating life threatening ventricular arrhythmias or fibrillations. However, as ICD only serves to terminate tachyarrhythmias and provide pacing support for bradyarrhythmias, concomitant antiarrhythmic drug therapy is common and leads to interactions with the ICD. Direct drug-ICD interactions include alterations of the pacing threshold (minimum energy needed to achieve a reliable and consistent electrical activation of the heart) and of the defibrillation threshold (the lowest energy level that results in successful defibrillation). Besides, anti-arrhythmic drugs which work by interfering with ion channel activity, may lead to cardio toxicity and then to ventricular arrhythmias, resulting in increased ICD therapies. Antiarrhythmic drugs can also lead to morphological changes present in the electrogram (EGM) interfering with the ICD function by failures of sensing ventricular events or arrhythmia classification. The underlying mechanisms of ICD/drug interactions are poorly understood as well as how an ischemic substrate, present in most of the ICD patients, would affect those interactions. Indeed, ICDs are mainly used by patients with a history of previous myocardial infarction (MI) and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 35%. In this framework, this proposal aims at providing a new level of understanding of the interactions between ICD and investigating biomarkers from the electrocardiographic signal (ECG) to predict adverse drug-ICD interactions in ischemic and control patients. The approach will be a combination of modelling and simulation at human tissue level and ECG signal processing. This multidisciplinary project will include direct contact with clinicians to analyse ECG data from ICD patients and pharmacological companies to study the possible cardiotoxicity of class I and III drugs in control and ischemia conditions.

The main objective of the proposed project is an archaeozoological study of the role that sheep and goat played from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in Cyprus. Sheep and goat assumed a pivotal role in many aspects of life in Cyprus, such as the economy, natural environment, way of life, etc. In order to fully understand this role, it is necessary to study the diachronic relationship between these two species and humans. To better evaluate the Cypriot data and contextualise their interpretation, comparisons with relevant data from neighbouring areas will be carried out. In order to achieve the main objective, a multitude of specific objectives has to be fulfilled. First, is the creation of an electronic database containing a variety of data of sheep and goat spanning from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Second, an analysis of the recorded archaeozoological data to enable the production of new knowledge on sheep and goat husbandry. Third, the detection of seasonality patterns and movements of animals between areas are pursued through isotopic analyses. Fourth, is the collection of ethnoarchaeological data, through interviews with traditional sheep and goat herders in Cyprus and a desk-based study. This component will provide ecologically relevant models for interpreting the archaeozoological data. The material necessary for this research project derives from faunal assemblages excavated in the past or currently in Cyprus. A sufficient number of excavators have already been contacted and expressed their willingness to facilitate access. The potential of the ethnoarchaeological component has also been evaluated through contacts with sheep and goat herders in Cyprus. The project has immense potential to answer many archaeological questions relevant to the palaeoeconomy, palaeoenvironment, beliefs and everyday life of ancient Cypriots. Its diachronic multi-site approach enables us to study all these aspects both through periods and across the landscape.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable medical diagnostic tool because of its ability to produce detailed 3D pictures of tissue in the body noninvasively. Gadolinium is used in MRI contrast agents because of its strong paramagnetic properties. However, due to its intrinsic toxicity when free in solution, it has to be bound to other biocompatible molecules to be used clinically. There are currently seven approved gadolinium contrast agents that are used for MRI studies in humans. However, these contrast agents have some drawbacks: e.g. they are not targeted to specific tissues and their sensitivity is still below what can be theoretically achieved. Therefore, there is great current interest in improving the properties of Gd-based contrast agents by attaching the metal to a variety of materials, ranging from large organic molecules to nanoparticles. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is the most abundant anionic phospholipid of the plasma membrane and, in healthy cells, is arranged largely on the inner layer. In some abnormal cells this is not the case and a considerable amount of PS is displayed on the outer membrane surface; this is known in cells undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death) and tumour vasculature. Therefore, detection and imaging of apoptotic cells in vivo is desirable, as a clinical and research tool. Recently the host group showed that a Gd metal complex is able to bind polyphosphates and, interestingly, the probe localises selectively on apoptotic cells allowing for enhanced MRI signal in apoptotic vs. non-apoptotic cells. To follow on this previous work, we propose to develop more sensitive and selective Gd-based probes for MR imaging of apoptosis. Furthermore we propose to extend this idea towards positron emission topography (PET) by including Ga in the probes. The new probes developed, will be first fully characterised and validated in in vitro experiments to then be tested against apoptotic and non-apoptotic cell lines.

The objective of the project is to understand the impact of supply chain capabilities such as responsiveness, short lead times of procurement, production, and design on competitiveness of retailers and manufacturers. This will be achieved by building mathematical models of supply chains and characterizing their optimal and equilibrium decisions using inventory theory, consumer choice models, and game theoretical analysis. The project also includes a data collection stage and empirical analysis to test the theoretical findings. This topic is of immediate importance to manufacturers and retailers in Turkey and Europe in today’s globalized competition. European firms can gain sustainable competitive advantages by developing responsive and agile supply chains to take advantage of their location being close to markets in Europe, Middle East and Africa. The first part studies how a firm should choose its initial position in a product line and possibly revise its product position after observing demand signals. The objective is to investigate how a firm should react in a competitive environment where other firms may or may not have similar capabilities. This will be achieved by characterizing the equilibrium inventory levels and properties of the product assortment offered to customers for all firms in the industry. The second part studies responsive supply chain strategies in the presence of strategic (forward-looking) customers, who may choose to wait for a product that will better match their preferences in the future rather than buying the product currently offered. The results would suggest how a firm should manage its new product introduction frequency and inventory levels as the fraction of customers that are strategic increases. The third part aims to collect firm-level data on supply chain and market characteristics and conduct an empirical study of key drivers of when and how responsive supply chain strategies work.

Cyanobacteria are a prolific source of diverse bioactive secondary metabolites. However, some of them are toxic and have a deleterious impact on human health and ecosystem sustainability. But others with potent biological activities have gathered considerable attention due to their potential therapeutic and agrochemical applications. Unfortunately, the biotic factors governing the production of these cyanobacterial secondary metabolites are poorly understood and their ecological roles have largely remained elusive. To advance knowledge on these topics, we propose to combine innovative ecophysiological experiments with cutting-edge metabolomic and modeling approaches. The CYANOMIC project will focus on Microcystis aeruginosa, which has a worldwide distribution and has been implicated in numerous intoxications due to its capacity to produce microcystins (MC), the most widely encountered toxin in freshwater ecosystems. The metabolomes of the MC-producing M. aeruginosa strain and its non-MC-producing mutant will be compared in the presence and absence of their associated bacteria. The isolation and characterization of their metabolites will allow us to study the dynamics of their production with the aim to provide the data necessary to produce a model that predicts the potential toxicity of a Microcystis bloom and the cellular communication between cyanobacterial strains as well as with bacteria and with surrounding microorganisms. The CYANOMIC project aims to help a researcher broaden her knowledge and skills through the study of cyanobacterial secondary metabolites production. The tailored workpackage will produce a young scientist able to help lead European research in this important area. In addition to being a stepping-stone to a future career in science, it will provide an invaluable opportunity to help share the knowledge between experts in cyanobacterial ecology and to strengthen the link between Europe and USA in this timely and significant scientific area.

Airframe noise is equal to or louder than engine noise during the landing approach of a commercial aircraft. With the growth of air traffic as well as the ever increasing level of urbanisation around most airports in Europe, the annoyance near airports is increasing, and the environmental concerns and noise certification regulations make the study of airframe noise an important research topic. The European Commission, within the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE) has set an ambitious environmental objective; a noise reduction target for the air traffic noise of 10 dB reduction per aircraft operation as the first 2020 goal (CALM 2007). Cavity noise is one of the most important airframe noises. When flow passes over a cavity or opening, due to vortex shedding at the upstream edge of the cavity, intensive tone noises may be generated. The tone noise generated in this way could be categorized as fluid-dynamic oscillation noise. However, at low flow speed depending on the geometry of the cavity, another type of tone noise due to fluid resonant oscillation within the cavity may occur. The objective of the proposed IEF project focuses on the source noise reduction of airframe noise due to the landing gear cavities; specifically the cavity tones produced as a result of a fluid-dynamic or fluid-resonant oscillation, with the aim to generate solutions that will bring improvement towards the ACARE objectives. The goal will be achieved by consolidating and linking the state-of-art in the field and by implementing hybrid passive/active strategies.
