SAFEST contributes to the European capability to provide independent, reliable and efficient solutions in the global space transportation market. The project will lead to a demonstrator of a modular Autonomous Flight Termination Unit (AFTU) for micro/small launchers, validated in a representative flight processor (execution) and emulated environment (dynamics), reaching TRL 5-6. This solution will differentiate from other developments tightly linked to a specific launch site, safety regulation and oriented (cost and mass) to institutional launchers. The proposed AFTU segregates the general-purpose sensors and functions (e.g. localisation) from the mission abort rules which are launcher and spaceport dependant, allowing customisation for a given launcher and site. This strategy is deemed a game changer for the reduction of launch service cost, availability, flexibility, enabling a more responsive access to space. Advanced, low-cost, and modular avionics solutions. SAFEST proposes to mature up to TRL 5-6 an MPSoC-based SW execution platform for modern avionics. Avionics and GNC SW development involve highly demanding tasks calling for powerful computational resources. A SW execution platform is proposed, HW independent, multi-layered, and highly decoupled: SMart Integrated Avionics (MIA). It will bring the following benefits: increased performance (several cores), increased flexibility (modular architecture, easy 3rd-party integration, OS & HW abstraction) and reduced cost (COTS components, new methodologies), fully oriented to reusability and AppStore concept. Integration of both technologies into a single solution. The integrated set will demonstrate that a modular AFTU design, despite its highly demanding computational load, can be implemented in a modular architecture and SW development environment.

Security risks and threats in the maritime domain are becoming increasingly more complex day by day. Within the EU there have been significant increases in irregular migration flows and human trafficking and smuggling but also of other illegal activities, such as drugs and arms trafficking and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, and –according to the FRONTEX “Risk Analysis for 2021” report- the challenge becomes even bigger. The European Union Maritime Security Strategy, and other EU initiatives such as EUROSUR and CISE, highlight that closer collaboration between authorities at national, regional and EU levels can constitute the key action to increase both situational awareness and operational efficiency. In particular, there is increased interest in assessing the viability of multi-authority cooperation in (especially high altitude) sensing and capability advancement for enhanced wide area surveillance of land, air and sea borders. EURMARS’s ground-breaking vision is to expand the common risk assessment practices currently deployed by authorities to enable the development, deployment and evaluation of a secure multitasking surveillance platform that improves sensing capabilities for a wide range of security risks and threats in wider border areas by clustering high altitude platforms technology, satellite imagery, UxVs and ground-based sensors into a novel joint surveillance capability. As part of the EURMARS framework, the various existing and future systems for maritime surveillance will be integrated, to allow for the collaborative operation and the provision of the sensing results to related authorities. The open architecture will build on the lessons learnt of previous initiatives, assimilate the knowledge of the stakeholders and their practice on CISE and other relevant systems, exploit the latest AI, risk assessment and visualization innovations, and undergo extensive technical and user acceptance tests and ethical and legal impact assessments.

Describing the set of rational solutions to polynomial equations is the oldest field in mathematics and one of the fundamental goals in number theory. In arithmetic geometry such solutions are studied using geometric tools: rational solutions to equations correspond to rational points on the corresponding geometric object. Fano varieties are among the simplest geometric objects, but still far from fully understood. This makes them a great class to test conjectures and develop new techniques. It is generally believed that Fano varieties, if they have a rational point, should have many, and they should be well-distributed. For curves (dimension 1), this is the case. Fano varieties in dimension 2 are del Pezzo surfaces, and already here there are many open questions. These surfaces have been a very active area of research in the last 50 years. Del Pezzo surfaces are classified by their degree, an integer between 1 and 9. The lower the degree, the more complex these surfaces become, and especially del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 are notoriously difficult. Current results on the rational points on these surfaces make use of ad-hoc constructions, and a general geometric approach is missing. This forms a sharp contrast with del Pezzo surfaces of higher degree, and leaves a big gap in the understanding of rational points on Fano varieties. This project proposes to create a systematic approach to construct rational points on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1, and use this to prove several different results on ‘abundant’ rational points for new families of surfaces. This will lead to answering big open questions (unirationality, Hilbert property and weak weak approximation for del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1), and providing evidence towards a long-standing conjecture on rational points on rationally connected varieties. Recent developments on the construction of rational points and low-genus curves on del Pezzo surfaces make this the perfect time to tackle the proposed objectives.

Tradition is a key analytical concept in the study of Islam, Muslims, and the Middle East in western academia. In late 19th and early 20th-century discourses, the concept elicited negative connotations, such as stagnation, backwardness, and irrationality. In recent decades, scholars revised these earlier conceptions of tradition, foregrounding the ability of a tradition to adapt and change. This reformulated understanding of tradition undergirds Talal Asad’s theorization of Islam as a “discursive tradition,” an analytical approach that has dominated the field of Islamic studies. Yet in Arabic, there is no single equivalent to the Anglophone concept “tradition.” Indeed, several distinct Arabic terms, including taqlīd, turāth, sunna, naql, and others, are often equated with “tradition,” even though their usages, histories, political mobilizations, temporalities, counter-concepts and affective valences differ from each other as well as from the Anglophone concept. In this action, I will conduct a diachronic and synchronic analysis of the semantic network of Arabic concepts often equated with the Anglophone concept “tradition” in Egypt and Greater Syria in the 19th and 20th centuries. The methodology for this action includes the close reading of Arabic texts representative of major intellectual and ideological currents in the modern Arab and Muslim world, as well as quantitative analyses that chart the distribution and frequency of these concepts in Arabic periodicals and other salient texts in the same period. The larger aim of the project is to integrate the experiences and worldviews reflected in Arabic concepts into the analytical vocabulary that structures the study of Islam, Muslims, and the Middle East in western academia.

Nature uses a complex chemical language between cells and their environment to sustain life. T-cells, critical players of the immune system, constantly communicate and respond to environmental signals through cell-fate decisions to protect against pathogens. Their function in the immune system is of particular interest for cancer immunotherapy where their activation and expansion can be harnessed to kill cancer cells. Low affinity CD 8+ T-cells are attractive because of their memory to prolong the duration of therapy, but they are challenging to expand unlike their high affinity counterparts. In this proposal, I will explore the multimerization of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) through the H2-Kb-OVA peptide complex on supramolecular polymer scaffolds to potentiate the activation and expansion of low-affinity CD8+ T-cells. I will develop monomers that undergo kinetically controlled supramolecular polymerization in water and explore the potential to prepare block copolymers by modulating the monomer design with respect to hydrogen bonding and hydrophobicity. Supramolecular block copolymers will be engineered with domains of distinct sizes at the nanoscale to enable control over the TAA presentation with respect to spacing and density. Additionally, the effect of modulating OVA peptide sequence Using a library of H2-Kb-OVA peptide complex outfitted supramolecular block copolymers with various peptide sequences I will map the potential for activation and expansion of low affinity CD 8+ T-cells. Importantly, the major aim of this proposal is to develop strategies to prepare supramolecular block copolymers in water with bioactive units to broaden the application space of this materials class in the biological field.

Silicon solar cells are the most commercialized photovoltaic devices due to their high-power conversion efficiencies (PCE). Over the different types of silicon substrates for solar cells, monocrystalline silicon is the one with the highest PCE reported. Monocrystalline silicon is commonly grown by the Czochralski method, a process in which a small seed crystal is dipped into a melt in a crucible, pulling the seed upwards to obtain a single crystal. Nonetheless, by the same process, two types of intrinsic defects can be incorporated: additional atoms (interstitials) or missing atoms (vacancies); additionally, the crucible used is generally silica, so the result is an oxygen contaminated ingot. Oxygen tends to react with vacancies, seriously affecting the PCE of the synthesized solar cells. Nitrogen has long been known to simultaneously suppress interstitial and vacancy related defects, the higher the nitrogen concentration, the lower the defect size, which is highly favourable for defect annealing; besides, strongly enhances oxygen precipitation. Unfortunately, quantitative data on the chemical and physical properties of nitrogen in silicon are rare, so the mechanism through which it reacts with intrinsic defects and oxygen is still relatively unknown. In consequence, it is not possible to know what variables should be modified to improve the quality of the crystal. The main idea of this project is to investigate the effect mechanism of nitrogen on grown-in oxygen precipitates. A complete understanding would lead us to find the ideal conditions to dope silicon with nitrogen, in order to reduce defect sizes and the oxygen amount to a minimum, so as to reach the maximum PCE in a monocrystalline silicon solar cell.

From the paradox of individuality to the logic of representation. Individuals and descriptions in Byzantine thought (4th-12th centuries) (This_one_there)

An individual is a unique, non-repeatable entity which is discernable from all other members of the same species. A theory of individuality is an explanation of the mode of being of the individuals. In the Aristotelian philosophical tradition, which is one of the essential components of Byzantine thought, individuals have a particular status; as primary substances they are both: the ontological foundation of reality and the first object of perception - I see Petros, not humanity - ; but at the same time, according to Aristotle, they cannot be defined as individuals (one can only define the species to which they belong), and there can therefore be no science of them (but only of universals). To resolve this tension, commentators of Aristotle active in the Neoplatonic school of Alexandria advanced the solution that individuals cannot be defined but can be described. The Greek term chosen for description (hupographê) has, according to our research hypothesis, strongly contributed to linking the logical and ontological problematic of individuality to that of representation, so important in Byzantium. By studying the reception of the main explanation of individuality – the solution proposed by Porphyry that individuals are constituted by a unique bundle of non-essential properties –, the elaboration of the Christian concept of hypostasis to designate the individual, the epistemic role of accidental properties in the process of recognizing a given individual and the question of the reference of the proper name, this project aims to reconstruct the theoretical issues of individuality as discussed in Byzantium. It will confront them with the practice of literary and material portraits in order to verify the central hypothesis of the project, which is that the philosophical enquiry about individuality was in Byzantium, in a unique way, strongly influenced by the debate about and practice of representation and that the same logic prevails in description and portrait.

Information on atmospheric particles(PM) and related hazards is based on monitoring data. The main metric used is PM mass. This does not sufficiently account for physical, chemical and biological properties of PM that determine toxicity and bioavailability. Such properties can only be assessed by advanced methods. These are being developed in several European activities, including research infrastructures ACTRIS and RI-URBANS. WeBaSOOP will reinforce in Serbia coordinator (VINCA) and partners institution (IRMB,PHIB) research hub by knowledge and skills related to PM monitoring and assessment, with the aim of association with the infrastructures. We will introduce innovative observing metrics and methods and address networking gaps.The internationally leading partners (NILU,CSIC,UNG,DEAKIN)have each central roles in the infrastructures and extensive knowledge of and experience with the European research system. They will gain regional understanding, new data and networks. WeBaSOOP research and associated training will focus on particle size distribution and composition including novel organic source tracers and black carbon, by online and offline monitoring and assessment methods.We will introduce oxidative potential as proxy for health effects. We will generate new data and knowledge and close the information gap on PM in Western Balkans.We will use the new generated data for novel source apportionment. This will trigger new research opportunities. WeBaSOOP knowledge and data will be shared with stakeholders responsible for pollution mitigation or prevention and for compliance with European acquis. Further, we will enhance generic research-administrative skills of partners by dedicated training. We will enable the participating institutions to become partners in discussions of the R&I systems, and to better liaise with the NCPs who will be asked to contribute to the trainings and will be our dialogue partners when looking for future opportunities for researh.

This proposal aims to address a critical knowledge gap in understanding phenotypic transitions in the context of chemotherapy resistance. Phenotypic transitions encompass various mechanisms that modify cellular phenotypes over time, including differentiation and metabolic reprogramming, among others. As some cellular phenotypes are transient and chemoresistant cells constitute a rare subpopulation, studying these important phenomena is challenging even with modern, high dimensional phenotyping methods (e.g. proteomics and transcriptomics), as they are intrinsically destructive for the sample and can only provide a single snapshot of these fleeting cellular states. To overcome this limitation, I propose the development of a groundbreaking framework that combines spatial proteomics with ESPRESSO, a novel omics approach I developed for high-dimensional phenotyping applicable to living system. The resulting ESPRESSO-Omics framework will enable real-time monitoring of both organelle and protein expression profiles in living cells, that will allow us to go back in time and identify the subpopulation with the potential to become chemoresistant, as well as the transitions that lead it there, providing a revolutionary point of view in the identification of therapeutic targets. Multiple deliverables including an ESPRESSO-Omics atlas, a high-throughput hyperspectral light-sheet microscope and a machine learning framework will be provided during the course of this award, articulated over two work packages (WPs): WP1: Establishment of the ESPRESSO-omics framework WP2: Investigation of phenotypic transitions in breast cancer Understanding phenotypic transitions has broad implications, not only in breast cancer research but also in other cancers and biological systems. The open-source cell atlas, instrumentation specifications and data analysis tools will be valuable resources for the scientific community, democratizing advanced tools for the study of phenotypic transitions
