The With-Me ecosystem consists of a collection of embedded devices including multi-purpose consumer electronics (mobile phone, computer, TV, media centres, Kinect, etc), dedicated health equipment for personal or shared use (HR monitors, activity sensors, environment sensors, exercise equipment, blood pressure, and glucose analysis devices, etc.), external information sources providing sensor input from the environment, general information, and personal feedback, and servers providing the necessary computational environment for services and applications. The ecosystem provides and supports safe and secure seamless monitoring and persuasive guidance anytime and anywhere for healthier behaviours. With-Me ensures continuity of personalised assistance from lifestyle improvement to primary, secondary and tertiary prevention and care. By considering this large scope of use the With-Me system will work under a wide range of evolving constraints resulting from the shifts of (1) responsibilities (consumer to doctor), (2) stakeholders (lifestyle to care), (3) functionalities and requirements, and (4) business model (market to reimbursed). The With-Me project will deliver the evidence that people’s adherence to healthier behaviours (e.g exercising for prevention but also during care) will improve by using persuasive electronic services. From earlier studies it is known that, once people stick to these schedules, their health will be better. This proof will illustrate that this ICT-based health preservation solution can be highly cost effective by reducing the total healthcare expenses. Date of approval by ECSEL JU: 12/07/2016

Our society is facing both energy and competitiveness challenges. These challenges are tightly linked and require new dynamic interactions between energy producers and energy consumers, between machines, between systems, between people and systems, etc. Cooperative automation is the key for these dynamic interactions and is enabled by the technology developed around the Internet of Things and Service Oriented Architectures. The objective of the Arrowhead project is to address the technical and applicative challenges associated to cooperative automation: -Provide a technical framework adapted in terms of functions and performances, -Propose solutions for integration with legacy systems, -Implement and evaluate the cooperative automation through real experimentations in applicative domains: electro-mobility, smart buildings, infrastructures and smart cities, industrial production, energy production and energy virtual market, -Point out the accessible innovations thanks to new services, -Lead the way to further standardization work. The strategy adopted in the project has four major dimensions: -An innovation strategy based on business and technology gap analysis paired with a market implementation strategy based on end users priorities and long term technology strategies -Application pilots where technology demonstrations in real working environments will be made -A technology framework enabling collaborative automation and closing innovation critical technology gaps -An innovation coordination methodology for complex innovation "orchestration" Date of approval by the ECSEL JU: 29/11/2016

Given that their main function is to forge durable commitments, it is notable that many international treaties have changed over time through the increasingly common practice of renegotiation. While some agreements have remained intact after their initial conclusion, others are amended, updated, or replaced. Why are some international agreements renegotiated while others remain stable? Despite growing interest in agreement flexibility and renegotiation provisions as an institutional design outcome, extant research has not addressed the question of renegotiation itself with much depth or rigor. This interdisciplinary project will offer a systematic analysis of treaty renegotiation by presenting theoretical propositions and testing them in the context of bilateral investment treaties (BITs). With over 150 BITs having been renegotiated since the early 1990s, this set of treaties provides a nice laboratory for studying the phenomenon. Building on contract theory and the rational design literature, I intend to develop a set of testable hypotheses on renegotiation based on three mechanisms: overcoming uncertainty through learning, exogenous changes in circumstances, and shifts in the balance of bargaining power between the parties to the treaty. This framework will be evaluated with a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches that include in-depth interviews of government officials and other individuals engaged in BIT-related policies, content analysis of investment treaties, and a large-N regression analysis. This aspect of the project involves the completion of an original data base of all renegotiated BITs and their content, which is currently not available.

More than 20% of 15-year-old European students are low achievers in mathematics. Because low math competence can have dire economic and social effects, improving our knowledge of the neural mechanisms involved in arithmetic processing is critical to inform teaching and reduce low achievement. A central question in math education is whether calculation procedures should be emphasized over strategies based on retrieval during arithmetic learning. To date, studies suggest that calculation is less efficient than retrieval, at least for simple arithmetic problems. For example, problems for which subjects report using procedures are solved slower and less accurately than problems for which retrieval strategies are reported. Procedures are also linked to enhanced activity in fronto-parietal brain regions and this is thought to reflect effortful processing. These studies, however, might be misleading because (i) automatic procedures might be executed so fast that they cannot reach consciousness and (ii) enhanced activity in fronto-parietal regions during effortful calculation might not be related to procedures per se. This project will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to test the hypothesis that fronto-parietal regions may support automatized procedures that can be as efficient as retrieval. Specifically, we will capitalize on the idea that, in problems solved with procedural strategies, abstract automatic procedures should be pre-activated by the simple presentation of an arithmetic sign before the problem itself. First, we will test whether activity in fronto-parietal brain regions can be automatically triggered by the simple visual presentation of an addition sign, and whether this automatic activation may facilitate arithmetic performance in adults proficient in arithmetic. Second, we will investigate the behavioral and neural emergence of such automatic procedures during arithmetic learning in typically developing children (8-9 vs. 12-13 year olds).

In recent years the use of 3D imaging approaches is becoming a necessity, in particular now that research has moved onto dynamic imaging of biological processes in-vivo. In this context, novel tomography techniques such as Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (FMT) for imaging in highly scattering media, and Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) and Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) for imaging in low scattering specimens, are becoming extremely valuable tools in the biology and preclinical labs. However, all these approaches suffer from the same drawback: lack of throughput. This proposal addresses the issue of high-throughput which is currently the bottleneck for the translation of optical tomography as a mainstream imaging technique. The main goal is to improve these setups in order to ensure several subjects can be imaged simultaneously. These changes require significant advances at the software and theoretical levels in addition to specific hardware changes. Main changes will consist on the use of structured illumination and a collection of mirrors and beamsplitters for FMT, and the addition of a vertical displacement in OPT and SPIM to allow stacking of specimens. These changes in hardware need to be accounted for in new inverse models to recover the 3D distribution of fluorophores in-vivo, accounting for the presence of scattering. In order to ensure high-throughput fast inverse algorithms will be developed making use of parallel programming with Graphics Processing Unitgs (GPUs).

Many biological processes, with relevance to human development and disease, occur under the control of 'molecular clocks'. One such process is the rhythmical formation of somites during vertebrate embryogenesis. Somites are blocks of tissue that give rise to reiterated vertebrae and their associated muscle. The sequential formation of somites along the body axis of vertebrate embryos occurs via the activities of the vertebrate segmentation clock. My recent work has shown that the body units (segments) of an arthropod, the beetle Tribolium castaneum, also form via the activities of a segmentation clock. This finding suggests that vertebrate somites and arthropod segments form using similar developmental principles. Given the evolutionary distance separating vertebrates and arthropods this finding might also imply that a segmentation clock played an ancient and ancestral role in animal development. However, we have so far only identified two genes involved in the Tribolium clock, compared to 40-100 unrelated genes involved in the segmentation clocks of model vertebrates, making it too early to conclude that the arthropod and vertebrate segmentation clocks are evolutionarily related. I propose a series of genetic and genome-wide approaches to systematically test this idea. A novel, state-of-the-art, transcriptome screen will be used to determine the number and identity of genes involved in the Tribolium segmentation clock. Reverse genetic and transgenic approaches will be used to determine the regulatory interactions underlying the Tribolium clock. This constitutes an ambitious attempt to determine if the arthropod and vertebrate segmentation clocks are evolutionary related, knowledge that would have profound implications for our understanding of the evolution of all animals. It will also help establish Tribolium as a powerful invertebrate model for studying the principles underlying the activities of molecular clocks.

From AD1000 to 1800, Europe transformed itself from a rural backwater to the leading global power, exporting its technologies and living styles to the rest of the world. The present research project proposes to look at the Holy Roman Empire as a microcosm of states and cities interacting in a federal context, and as an untapped source of quantitatively analyzable data, to understand the causal drivers of the economic, social and political transformations that propelled this change. In particular, the following questions will be analyzed: (1) What determined the spatial expansion of urban and commercial structures in the Middle Ages? (2) What is the role of climatic changes in this context? (3) What is the role of paradigms of power (self-organizing autonomous cities vs. autocratic territorial states) in fostering economic change, and how did this role change over time? (4) What is the role of state capacity in historical development? To do this, the present research project aims to assemble a novel dataset (from printed and archival sources) encompassing the whole experience of the medieval and early modern world, in order to provide a quantitative, unified view of these developments. These data will be analyzed in a quantitative fashion applying state-of-the-art econometric analysis. The project will contribute to the literature on the institutional determinants of development by expanding the horizon of causal mechanisms of development considered, by considering the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of these effects, and by embedding the analysis in a dataset with unprecedented level of detail and temporal scope.

From cooperation to dishonesty: How concern for others can lead to unethical behavior (BEHAV-ETHICS)

Cooperation with others is common and beneficial in organizational as well as personal settings. Working together allows people to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes and prosper. While the benefits of cooperation are clear, recent work suggests that when people work together (rather than alone) they are more likely to engage in dishonest acts aimed at boosting their profit, apparently because it is easier to justify lying when others share the profit. It thus seems plausible that experiencing cooperation from counterparts may increase people’s likelihood to reciprocate, even when reciprocation requires bending ethical rules. The main aim of the proposed research is to explore whether, and how, cooperation increases people’s concerns regarding their counterparts’ outcomes, and thus encourages bending ethical rules in order to profit the cooperating others. Such dishonest reciprocation, may not only allow one to display care about the other’s outcome, but also increase the likelihood of future cooperation, potentially leading to a slippery-slope spiral of unethical misconduct. Addressing this possibility, a theoretical process-model is developed in which the degree of unethical behavior depends on the degree of experienced cooperation. Specifically, the proposed research has three aims: Identifying (1) situations in which experiencing cooperation translates into dishonest behavior benefiting the other; (2) psychological mechanisms underlying such dishonesty; and (3) situational factors that may remedy such undesired unethical behaviors. The model is systematically tested by employing experimental social psychological and behavioral economic paradigms. Beyond its theoretical contribution to understanding the effects of cooperation on unethical behavior, the project has societal relevance in crafting interventions tailored to boost ethical behavior in organizations and society.

In light of the drive towards sustainable chemistry, the use of Catalysis is central to recent and foreseeable technological development. In this context, the discovery of novel, efficient and user-friendly catalyts is fundamental. One recent area of investigation is the use of gold as mediator of important and unprecedented organic transformations. A number of coordination complexes are used in such transformations but a limited number appear to act as universal catalysts. The project aims at generating a novel commercial standard in gold catalysis. More specifically, the technical tasks will define reaction parameters necessary to synthesise on large scale a complex discovered in the course of the ERC-funded FUNCAT project. This gold complex was found to enable and achieve high yields in most gold-mediated transformations. The project team will carry out reaction optimisation from small to 100g-scale, thereby demonstrating proof-of-concept for the scale-up. This will involve meticulously optimizing: solvent, ligand transfer agent, reaction times and temperatures as well as workup protocols. The synthetic developments will be guided by industrial input to ensure the creation of an industrially viable protocol. A number of industrial partners have been identified both on the precious metal complex synthesis and in the pharmaceutical-user ends. Companies have also requested amounts of these compounds (a small amount of the gold complex has recently been sent to Strem Chemicals Inc. to test the market interest, more has been requested). The present synthesis does not permit the delivery of greater than gram quantities of this complex. This project will provide a viable larger scale reaction protocol of this key complex and help bring it to market a new gold standard in areas ranging from synthetic/catalytic to materials and medicine.
