Assembly of combinatorial genetic libraries for identification of biomolecules with novel or improved properties requires high fidelity and efficiency to produce the greatest spectrum of genetically diverse clones. We have been developing homologous recombination (HR) as a platform for the production of combinatorial genetic libraries for affinity maturation and diversification of human therapeutic antibodies. Therapeutic antibodies have a great clinical potential in various therapeutic settings including the treatment of a number of oncology, autoimmune and infectious diseases, organ transplantation, and others. In brief, we describe a method, where CDR-encoding DNA oligos and a gapped vector containing the heavy and light chain genes are cotransformed into budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for in vivo assembly by HR. Importantly, the affinity of resulting antibody clones in the generated library can be directly assayed by yeast surface display without subcloning and retransformation. Furthermore, mating two haploid yeast strain libraries each encoding a variation of heavy chain or light chain genes enables fast screening of the heavy/light chain combinations displayed by the resulting diploids. Finally, this method can be generalized to generate combinatorial genetic libraries for other applications.

Mammography is an X-ray imaging technique widely used to screen women for breast cancer. The abilities to detect small micro-calcifications that are possible indicators of malignant processes and to distinguish between abnormal and normal soft tissue findings are crucial in mammography. Current systems employ high-resolution full field detectors to spot micro-calcifications and low energy X-rays to improve contrast and limit dose. However, 10-30% of malignant masses are still missed in screening due to limited soft tissue contrast. Potentially, energy resolved or energy weighted mammography can increase the sensitivity and specificity of mammography. This Proof of Concept project aims to develop a novel silicon sensor module with an active area of better than 95%, by reducing the dead areas that was unavoidable up till now, to construct a large area detector. This technology could combine all features that are thought to be crucial in mammography: full field of view, high resolution, and energy resolved imaging. The advantage of this innovative approach is that we provide a near seamless system of silicon sensors. In addition, there is a realistic chance that, with the extra information we can extract from the detected X-rays, we can reduce the required radiation dose to diagnose patients. Especially in the field of mammography, where patients are screened regularly, this can reduce the number of induced tumours. The ambition is that this innovative project will set the baseline for the manufacturing of more advanced devices in medical imaging. The detector’s commercial potential will be exploited with our industry partners.

Our research in attosecond science supported by the ERC advanced grant ALMA “Attosecond Control of Light and Matter” has led us to develop a simple technique to fully characterize and control ultrashort laser electric fields. The characterization and subsequent control can be divided into two parts: - Measurement of the spectral phase of short light pulses by measuring second harmonic generation as a function of dispersion introduced by e.g. a pair of glass wedges ("d-scan" technique). From the “dispersion scans”, the spectral phase of the pulse can be retrieved and then adjusted to perform compression of the laser pulses. - Ultrafast measurement of the Carrier Envelope Phase offset of amplified laser pulses ("Ultrafast CEP" technique). It is based upon interferometry, where the second harmonic of the red edge of an octave-spanning spectrum is spectrally interfered with the blue edge. In our implementation, the detector is a linear photodiode array and Field-Programmable Gate Array based- electronics enables us to determine the CEP at a rate of up to 100 kHz. The d-scan technique was invented in Lund in 2011 as a collaborative project between the University of Porto and Lund University. An international patent application was filed on the 11th of October 2011 and published on the 18th of April 2013. The “Ultrafast-CEP” technique was invented in Lund in 2010 and nicely complements the “d-scan” technique. Our goal is to build a device for characterization and control of femtosecond pulses by combining both techniques and to commercialize it. Our characterization device will be useful for the ultrafast laser community. This includes university laboratories and research institutes in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine as well as biomedical and materials science industry.

EASIER adresses the CfP JTI_CS_2013-2-GRA-05-008 and proposes a way to perform acoustic tests on a WT-model which was designed and manufactured in a previous CfP. The current project is proposed by a small consortium combining the necessary competence for this project: - IBK is a small company coordinating the project and performing design work in the project. IBK is also leading the consortium building the WT in the previous project ESICAPIA. - REVOIND is a small italian company specialised in manufacturing complex parts. Revoind´s main task in this project is to manufacture the model. - University of Rome, Prof. Camussi, bringt acoustic knowledge into the consortium, which is needed for preparing the acoustic tests and post-processing of the acoustic tests. The project consists of three technical work-packages plus one management work-package. The three technical WPs tackle planning and realisation of possible design-changes, dynamic characterization and experimental tests (including post-processing). A cruicial point for the quality of the results is the choice of the wind-tunnel. Possible wind-tunnels in europe have been reviewed by the consortium and the two possible solutions for this model (DNW and RUAG) have been asked for quotes. Although the previous model is build for an aerodynamical measurement campaign in one of these tunnels in general a test in either of them is feasible. There are pros and cons for each solution, finalising the choise for the WT is therefore the first questions that hast to be tackled together with the TM.

Traditionally, aircraft power system use passive power converter coupled with NiCad battery to provide power to 28Vdc buses from main AC network. This solution is very mature, but power quality from this architecture is low and impact avionics loads designs and overall system reliability. Recent progress in power electronics and lithium –ion batteries allows higher power density compared to traditional passive approach. The new solutions allow considerable performances enhancement and weight/volume savings (feeder, loads…) and better reliability at aircraft level. Management of lithium battery charge and discharge imposes multiples protections in order to insure a proper behavior during all possible scenarios and to ensure safety, even during abusive conditions. No break power transfer coordination is also a challenge at architecture level. The main objectives of this study is to optimization the ratio weight / volume (at system level) of active power conversion system coupled with li-ion energy storage, including mutualisation of function such as battery charger and TRU. This optimisation will also improve battery expected life, keeping the functionality of a no break Power transfer 28Vdc. In addition, this project can demonstrate benefits of a modular battery system concept, combining battery modules to subsystems and systems on demand. This leads to a high flexibility and interchange ability of battery modules.

The e-Infrastructure Reflection Group Support Programme 4 (e-IRGSP4) intends to provide support for the e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) and hereby supports the collaboration of national and pan-European e-Infrastructure initiatives and stakeholders. The e-IRG reflects on results and developments in the area of e-infrastructures. It consists of government appointed national representatives and was created in 2003. The e-IRG has reached a high ranking position as an independent advisory body in Europe in its field. It cooperates increasingly closer with the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI), whose work it largely complements through its lateral domain. The e-IRG produces White and Blue Papers, Roadmaps and other policy-related documents, covering the whole domain of e-infrastructures: networks, high-performance and high-throughput computing installations and data infrastructures. The e-IRG formulates its conclusions and advice in various ways. The e-IRG Recommendations endorsed by the e-IRG delegates are well received by the communities concerned as well as by policy makers and funding agencies and can thus have very serious impact. The e-IRGSP4 project builds on the experiences of previous e-IRG support programmes. It is lightweight designed focusing on the core requirements of the e-IRG and the demands of the European Commission. It provides the secretariat of the e-IRG community, supports the e-IRG Chair and Executive Board, organises workshops, which facilitate the coordination and communication between e-Infrastructure initiatives and stakeholders. The policy creating process of the e-IRG is supported by monitoring and analysing the state-of-the-art developments in the fields of interest of the e-IRG (at policy, technology, research, and socioeconomic level), thus conceiving ideas and input for the e-IRG policy documents. Finally, the support programme fully implements the dissemination work of the e-IRG.
