POF-PLUS will develop new components, modify fibre assemblies and optimise transmission techniques to enable high speed (multiple Gbps) optical links based on standard large-core Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) which will take full advantage of the intrinsic low cost and extreme ease of installation of POF based systems to aid both wired and wireless service delivery to end users in next generation networks (NGN). To this end, POF-PLUS will address the following specific tasks: • optimization of photonic components for multi Gbps POF transmitters and receivers, improving their linearity, bandwidth, resilience and reliability • development of PCB-based laser and photodiode arrays suitable for parallel optic solutions using POF • development of new simplex duplex and ribbon POF cable assemblies • development of extremely user-friendly POF connection interfaces and cabling solutions to ensure low installation costs and a viable self-install solution • development and realization of system prototypes at multiple Gbps based on the new optical components and advanced modulation formats and demonstrating the viability of radio-over-POF transport of wireless services The main target applications envisioned for POF-PLUS outcomes are: • next generation high-speed home networking solutions (wirebound and wireless) with the main focus on 1Gbps solutions; • low-cost optical interconnects in large data centres and storage area networks, where the main focus is on multi-Gbps solutions. POF’s key advantages versus other cabled solutions are its ease of connection and termination, very small cable diameter, low weight and complete immunity to electromagnetic emission making it an ideal solution for those applications where link integrity and extreme ease of use is paramount.

In this project printed thin film batteries (TFBs) are developed, manufactured and integrated as flexible and cost efficient energy storage devices. This kind of energy storage concept has huge potential to be integrated into different low cost large area electronics applications such as smart cards, E-books, tags, large area sensor networks… In order to reduce manufacturing costs of this application field the TFBs fabrication is transferred to a roll to roll mass production process which enables cost efficient and large area processing on new or traditional substrates (plastic, glass, paper..). Thus, new nano materials are integrated as batteries components through conventional printing processes (Flexo/helio and Screen printing) used in the industry. So far printed TFBs have been studied to be manufactured using commercially available materials. The goal of GREENBAT project is to integrate new generation of advanced smart materials in thin film printable batteries using aqueous formulation to achieve high quality, green, safe and durable power sources. The ultimate goal of this project is to integrate these structures to a single assembly resulting in a flexible energy source processed in one step thus reducing production cost. The effort of the GREENBAT consortium is to create a new technology environmental friendly, safe and durable which enables European Community to be competitive with the Asia products, in order to address the area of low cost power source manufacturing and its utilisation in different applications. The competitiveness of European industry in this new disruptive technology has much more potential than in well established products. The development in GREENBAT project creates synergies and cooperation between micro nano technologies RandD, power sources manufacturers, printing industries and end users.

ADAS-EU will be a support activity for implementation of atomic data in plasma diagnostics and modelling at fusion laboratories throughout Europe, for management of databases of relevant fundamental and applied data and for promotion of key fundamental atomic data calculation and measurement. It will enable improved effectiveness of analysis of existing fusion experiments and prepare for ITER. The primary scientific objectives are provision of analysis tools and necessary atomic/molecular data for spectroscopy and broadband radiation detection at all wavelengths in all plasma regions. Provision of derived atomic/molecular data for plasma models, including passive emission, near surface emitters, beams, beam penetrated plasma, field disturbed atoms and ions, electron distribution functions, fast particles, slowing down particle distributions and beam calibration. All will be in the context of European-wide shared methodologies, databases and maintenance. ADAS-EU will be an extension of the international ADAS (Atomic Data and Analysis Structure) Project, acting for fusion in Europe, but with developments and deliverables benefiting fusion research world-wide. ADAS-EU will be tied to Euratom Associated Laboratories of the European fusion programme. Also, ITER relevant studies and important issues arising in these laboratories will be identified, developed and validated in partnership. ADAS will continue as a unified system with common code and data assembled, organised, verified and archived centrally. Modification and advance in atomic physics modelling and data stemming from ADAS-EU will be consolidated centrally in ADAS, reissued to all Euratom Associated Laboratories and released into the public domain. There will be four lead Euratom Associated Laboratories linked to ADAS-EU, namely, UKAEA Culham/JET, IPP Garching/Greifswald, CEA Cadarache/ITER and TEC Juelich. These laboratories endorse the ADAS-EU CSA proposal and will collaborate with it.

The main objective of the project is to foster a harmonised technology for managing in real time the energy consumption of appliances at home, interworking this information to communication devices over the home network and virtualising it with the final aim of making it available to users through home communication networks in the form of standalone or network operator services. Behind this scope, the main idea is to provide a generalised method for managing the power consumption of devices that are either powered on or in stand-by state. Especially for the second category of devices, the project will conceive autonomous, self-programmable mechanisms for stand-by state detection and power off, using all-device-fit, harmonised, own-developed interfaces. AIM will apply its technology on white goods (refrigerators, kitchens, washing machines, driers), communication devices (cordless phones and wireless communication devices for domestic use) and audiovisual equipment (TV Sets and Set-top-boxes) and will be built around 3 use-cases: 1)Use-case for residential users (intelligent power management service for autonomous energy preservation). 2)Use-case for governmental organizations (metering service for energy planning and CoC compliance testing). 3)Use-case for legacy services operators (remote monitoring and management). Although the AIM technology is going to be applied on a certain range of domestic appliances it will be deployed generically enough so as to be applicable on other appliance types, like heaters, solar panels, etc, of which use is less frequent but also important concerning energy conservation.

TOBI will develop practical technology for brain-computer interaction; i.e., non-invasive BCI prototypes combined with other assistive technologies (AT) that will have a real impact in improving the quality of life of disabled people. These non-invasive BCI are based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The expected impact of TOBI is a wide-spread use of BCI assistive technology endowed with adaptive capabilities that augment those other AT they are combined with. In such a hybrid approach users can fuse brain interaction and muscle-based interaction or can switch between different channels naturally (based on monitoring of physiological parameters or mental states). We have identified 4 application areas where BCI assistive technology can have a real, measurable impact, in terms of pre-clinical validation, for people with motor disabilities. The applications areas are: Communication and Control, Motor Substitution, Entertainment, and Motor Recovery. TOBI will deliver short-term BCI assistive prototypes for each of the application areas by the first year that will be tested and evaluated by the second year. Then, we will build upon the work done for the achievement of these short-term milestones to create more advanced technology based on novel hybrid architectures, adaptive principles, as well as EEG hardware and common implementation platforms. This final BCI assistive technology will be tested and evaluated in real life situations by a large number of end-users. Finally, TOBI will devote substantial efforts to create awareness of TOBI results among the key players. For this we will organize a series of annual workshops.

So far, several EU funded projects and other initiatives have taken up the challenge of Promoting sustainable development, Ensuring security and diversity of energy supply, Improving industrial competitiveness, Enhancing economic and social cohesion; furthermore, very valuable research work has been carried out in the past, but the gap to the market(s) and to the full inclusion of the nowadays technologies is still the main obstacle hindering the deployment of its economic potential. In this context GENESYS project consortium will collect and analyse research results on efficiency and energy management systems (EMS) and identify opportunities for integration and applications to further complex or cross cutting areas The main aim is to provide the guidelines for economical sustainability of the industrialisation of solution based on RandD current results to be mapped through two main steps: (1) an analysis of the technical and scientific basis and (2) a further improvement of features following the cutting-edge technologies and the market requirements. The current proposal therefore aims to improve the RandD activities on technologies to make content more intelligent and self-adaptive and therefore to improve the EMS environments by (1) bringing together researchers and industrial partners of the EMS fields, to explore potential synergies, joint exploitation or the identification of further shared research paths among past and/or ongoing projects in the domain; (2) defining a draft agenda that will outline the envisaged steps needed to let the RandD results potentialities comply as much as possible with the real applications needs; (3) to favour the market exploitation of identified/supported technologies through the access to private capital and other available financial products.

Topic: The topic of the project is set theory, in particular forcing theory. We will investigate internal consistency and the outer model program. Who and where: The researcher is Jakob Kellner, currently Marie Curie EIF fellow at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel (scientist in charge: Saharon Shelah). The project will be carried out at the Kurt Gödel Research Center for Mathematical Logic at the University of Vienna (KGRC). Scientist is charge will be Sy David Friedman, the head of the KGRC. How: Jakob Kellner has a contract as Assistent (non-tenure track assistant professor) from September 2008 (the end of the current EIF project) until November 2013. The ERG money will mainly contribute to travel and collaboration costs during the first 3 years. What: Set theory offers very general and powerful methods to prove mathematical theorems. In some cases, these methods actually prove that certain mathematical sentences are undecidable. Such proofs typically use the method of forcing. The first example of this kind (Cohen) was the continuum hypothesis (CH). Global questions (such as the generalized continuum hypothesis, GCH) require class forcing (Easton). Another important notion for consistency is the theory of inner models. The first example was Gödel's constructible universe L, satisfying CH and the Axiom of Choice (AC). Often, the consistency strength of a statement is strongert than ZFC. Then large cardinals (LC) are used to gauge the consistency strength, and the incompleteness phenomenon can be capured by consistency results of the form: Assuming LC, a certain sentence is consistent. For example (Solovay), assuming an inaccessible cardinal, consistently every definable set of reals is Lesbegue measurable. One topic is internal consistency: A sentence is internally consistent (ICon), if it holds in an inner model. An internal consistency theorem has the form: ICon(LC) implies Con(T).

Modern civil aviation provides unprecedented opportunities for the spread of epidemic/pandemic infectious disease. There is a pressing need to implement infection control in aviation, ranging from effective quarantine to protocols for sanitizing/decontaminating the airliner cabin. The latter is the focus of the proposed research, building on a major US initiative, led by the coordinator of this proposal. This initiative focused on implementing whole airliner cabin sanitization/decontamination technologies that are efficacious, safe and practicable in civil aviation and culminated in a highly successful full-scale demonstration using a wide-body airliner. The goal of the proposed research is to enable transition of the coordinator’s work in the USA to the European context. The proposal responds to the impact on the efficacy, safety and practicality of airliner decontamination of the engineering, operational and regulatory differences between the USA and Europe. The proposed research is highly multidisciplinary and truly unique — the coordinator’s US work represents the first successful use of chemical decontamination for the entire airliner cabin. By enabling the benefits of decontamination to be realised in an European context, the proposed project will have a major impact on the state-of-the-art. The project is highly timely and relevant, given current concerns over the potential for pandemics. The proposed project enables the re-integration of a world-class, highly experienced European researcher, with a broad base of cross-disciplinary accomplishments and professional recognition, who is currently leading a major US National Centre of Excellence on the Transportation Environment. The project is designed to stimulate collaborative activities between Europe and the USA and is fully aligned with the coordinator’s forthcoming senior, long-term role at a major UK host organisation, the University of Leeds, so as to provide a strong knowledge transfer path.

Apocarotenoids as signaling molecules in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (APOMYC)

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses are mutualistic associations between soil fungi and most vascular plants. During this symbiosis AM fungi help on plant fitness by providing plants with water and essential nutrients allowing them to survive under stressful conditions, specially under phosphate-limited conditions. On the other hand, AM fungi depend on the carbon provided by their plant host to complete their developmental cycle. In the AM symbiosis a fine-tune communication between the host plant and fungal partners is required for a good establishment. This underground signaling is very complex and signals produced by the plants to attract a symbiotic partner can be used or abused by other organisms in the rhizosphere. In addition, plants can modulate their requirement to establish a symbiotic relationship depending on the soil nutrient conditions by controlling the production of the signalling molecules. In this symbiotic interaction, the apocarotenoids including the hormone abscisic acid, strigolactones, mycorradicin and cyclohexenone derivatives have been recently shown to play an important role as signaling molecules in this interaction. These secondary metabolites form part of the large group of carotenoid cleavage products found in nature. However, although it is clear that apocarotenoids are important molecules involved in the AM symbiosis, their precise role as signaling molecules in this symbiosis is still unclear. The aim of this research project is to elucidate the signaling mechanisms involved in the regulation of the AM symbiosis establishment, studying specifically the role of the apocarotenoids in it. The final practical goal of this project is the reduction of agrochemical inputs by the rational exploitation of natural resources such as beneficial organisms.
