Eastern European Karaims are the sole representatives of Karaite Judaism in Europe. Their native tongue is a severely endangered Turkic vernacular listed on the UNESCO Atlas of the Worlds’ Languages in Danger. Due to many historical events, including World War II and the Soviet era, the cultural heritage of this intriguing ethnic minority suffered great losses. At the same time, since its investigation requires a rare combination of unique linguistic and palaeographic skills merely a fraction of its surviving written heritage has entered scholarly circulation. In particular, no comprehensive edition of the Karaim Hebrew Bible exists, even though nearly 100 Karaim Biblical texts have been discovered to date. The project will construct a digital edition of the entire Karaim Bible, almost exclusively based on unedited texts in Hebrew script (15th–20th cc). It will be used as a tool to deliver the first linguistic and palaeographic descriptions of the oldest, still unedited records of Karaim as well as reconstruct the way in which the Karaim Bible was created. Combining traditional and computer-aided research methods will provide essential data on the early history of the Karaim language and ethnicity. The edition will be a highly complex instrument interconnected with a dictionary, which is an absolute novelty in the field. The edition will contain the first ever comprehensive Karaim translation intelligible to present-day native-speakers. The texts will be treated according to the principles of textual criticism and translated into English. If permitted, facsimiles will be provided. One exciting aspect of the enterprise is that it will offer a virtual unification of the Karaim translations of one of the most important and influential works in world literature. Such a task is of fundamental importance and is crucial to sustaining an endangered culture, given that an awareness of the oldest Bible translations is an important component of European national identities.

In oil refineries, the Pre-Heat Train (PHT) is a network of usually shell-and-tube heat exchangers which aims to reduce the energy requirements in the crude distillation unit, i.e. the unit where the fractionation of the all the crude-oil takes place. When the PHT does not work efficiently, more fuel must be burnt in the downstream furnace. A typical decay rate in the coil inlet temperature in the PHT is 2-5℃ per year, or 8-11℃ per year according to less optimistic estimates. A yearly average drop of 5℃ costs a refinery about €1 - €1,5 million. A 1℃ drop in the furnace coil inlet temperature has been reported to cost for a UK refinery (processing 210,000 bbl per day ) ca. €400,000 per year. There are several modifications or enhancements that can improve heat exchanger efficiency, but unless they are installed during manufacturing, it is not cost efficient to apply them after the heat exchanger has been put to operation. The Flow Enhancer is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger enhancement that improves crude oil flow from the header’s inlet towards the heat exchanger’s tubes. It ensures reduced turbulence, a 10% increase in tube inflow velocity and a corresponding 7°C increase in outlet temperature. The potential savings to refineries could reach up to €1.8m per year and a 9:1 return on investment. In order to ensure the adoption of the technology, we have formed a partnership that brings together all the necessary elements: technology, manufacturing, commercialisation and scientific analysis to develop a marketing strategy based on proven results. The Flow Enhancer will increase the efficiency of European and global refineries, with significant environmental benefits, as it results in a reduction of 8 tonnes of CO2 per day for each 100k barrels processed, and has the potential to reduce EU CO2 emissions by 466k tonnes per year.

The formal analysis of stochastic models plays an important role in different disciplines of science, e.g., probability theory, evolutionary stochastic processes in biology. In computer science, such models arise in formal verification of probabilistic systems, analysis of probabilistic programs, analysis of game-theoretic interactions with stochastic aspects, reasoning about randomized protocols, etc. At the heart of the analysis methods are algorithmic approaches that lead to automated tools. Despite significant and impressive research achievements over the decades, many fundamental algorithmic problems related to formal analysis of stochastic models remain open. Moreover, the emergence of new technologies and the need to build more complex systems, require faster and scalable algorithmic solutions. The overarching theme of the project is algorithmic approaches for formal methods to analyse stochastic models. Our main research aims are: (1) Finite-state models: Develop faster explicit and implicit algorithms, and establish conditional lower bounds, for finite-state probabilistic systems. (2) Probabilistic programs: Develop efficient algorithmic approaches and practical techniques (e.g., compositional and abstraction techniques) for the analysis of probabilistic programs. (3) Stochastic and evolutionary games: Develop algorithmic approaches related to stochastic games and evolutionary games, which bring together the two different fields of game theory. (4) Application domains: Explore new application areas in diverse domains to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new algorithms developed. The project’s success will significantly enrich formal methods for analysis of stochastic models that are crucial in the development of robust and correct systems. Since stochastic models are foundational in several disciplines, the new algorithmic solutions are expected to lead to automated tools beneficial to other disciplines.

Energy poverty remains at high levels in the EU Member States due to increasing energy costs and slow progress on energy efficiency improvements. Despite various policies in place that directly or indirectly mitigate energy poverty in the household level, energy poverty is increasing in the private rented sector (PRS). The PRS also presents quite specific issues that cannot be dealt adequately in the framework of energy poverty linked directly to energy efficiency, such as a) difficulty to identify and quantify energy poor households in the PRS; and b) the delivery of energy efficiency measures to these households is difficult due to structural problems like information deficits, split incentives and others. ENPOR thus aims to overcome both challenges – making energy poverty in the PRS visible and as far as possible quantifiable, and also test energy efficiency support schemes to address it. This can increase the effectiveness of policies at a local or regional level, an alignment with structural measures is needed. Dedicated actions are therefore needed that actively contribute to alleviating energy poverty in the PRS by identifying energy poor tenants (and respective homeowners) as well as understanding and addressing their needs. TO this end, ENPOR will support the adaption and implementation of ten policies in 7 Member States tailored to the specific needs of the PRS and will integrate them into broader policy objectives. To achieve that, ENPOR will examine in depth energy poverty policies for the PRS across the EU, Monitor the dimensions of energy poverty in the PRS, support tailored policies and will provide guidelines for other countries. Through ENPOR partners links with the Covenant of Mayors, EU Energy Poverty Observatory and market (Union of Tenants and Associations of homeowners), the high-level dialogue on the EU level for the energy poverty in the PRS will be promoted.

Coupling of magnetization dynamics and superconducting state in artificial superconductor/ferromagnet hybrid structures (SUPER-MAGNONICS)

The proposal addresses a problem that has received very little experimental attention despite its fundamental and technological interest: the coupling between superconducting state and magnetization dynamics in artificial superconductor (S) / ferromagnet (F) hybrid structures. Most of the studies consider that the superconductor is very strongly affected by the interaction with a ferromagnet which, on the contrary, is in a static, equilibrium state and whose order parameter (the magnetization) remains unaffected. However, theoretical studies and a few recent experiments have shown that superconductivity can strongly affect ferromagnetism in various ways. This is the case for instance if one considers low-energy excitations of the magnetization (e.g. magnons), or if one looks at the relaxation from dynamic non-equilibrium states, e.g. the decay of the precession of the macroscopic magnetic moment. In this regard, the proposal has two central objectives, which correspond to two mechanisms of coupling between superconductivity and magnetization dynamics, respectively of electromagnetic and electronic nature. The former objective is concerned with the experimental demonstration of electrical magnon excitation and detection in superconductor/ferromagnet hybrids, that will be applied to the design of dynamic magnonic crystals. Superconductors with different penetrations lengths and intrinsic flux pinning as well as various ferromagnets will be combined. The latter objective involves the understanding of spin pumping and spin diffusion effects in superconductors through ferromagnetic resonance and electrical detection. Special attention will be paid to the used of Yttrium Iron Garnet in insulating ferromagnet/superconductor interfaces, as it presents low intrinsic damping even in thin films. Further combinations with s-wave and d-wave superconductors as well as half-metal ferromagnets will also be explored in this context.

EVA - Expiratory Ventilation Assistance – , or expiration by suction, is an innovative method to mechanically ventilate patients and is a key step in ventilation towards less-invasive, tailored and improved patient care as it enables: 1. full ventilation through a thin catheter instead of a thick tube 2. low and – if needed – negative pressures in the lungs promoting blood circulation 3. controlling the expiration, reducing sheer stress, which may prevent lung injury and improve patient outcome. The EVA technology has already been on the market for some years in its most basic form: the manual, disposable emergency ventilator Ventrain®. Since market launch in 2011, Ventrain® is now being sold by 16 distributors in over 20 countries. Ventinova’s flagship is the “EVA device”: a fully automated ventilator based on EVA technology meeting the emerging needs of less invasive, tailored and improved patient care. First is focused on the large markets of elective surgical procedures and emergency care (€ 400 M, globally) and in 2nd generation on ICU-ventilation (€ 500 M, globally), before becoming ‘standard care’ (€ 4.6 billion, globally). The device, currently at TRL6, is still in development and CE marking is expected in Q3 2016. Next to marketing activities, such as organizing workshops and training sessions, and careful selection and support of distributors, penetration of the conservative medical market should be ensured by demonstration of better and tailored patient care using EVA ventilation in pre-clinical studies and controlled clinical trials. These are to be designed and executed in close collaboration with Key Opinion Leaders of established and world leading academic medical centers. The described technology and products are protected by 5 patent families and design and brand registrations. The products are manufactured in The Netherlands and a dedicated catheter in Ireland. After CE marking, large non-EU markets are to be entered (e.g. USA, China, Russia).

5G base-stations will make use of large antenna arrays (hundreds of elements), potentially with each radiating element fed independently, meaning 1 power amplifier (PA) per element. This situation, combined with the trend of removing the circulator from the PA output for cost and size reasons, the design of the PA needs to take into account for the interaction with the other array elements. As a consequence, the simulation in CAD using traditional transistor models with a large number of internal nodes could become inconvenient, and the use of a behavioral model for the transistor could be an interesting choice. The project objective is to design 5G RF Doherty PAs for the 5G sub- 6 GHz band using transistor behavioral model. The Cardiff Model will be applied for the first time in a Doherty design, guiding the necessary model changes not only to adapt the model to this application, but also exploiting the advantages that the model can give. Moreover, thanks to his knowledge of Doherty, Jorge will identify a procedure to minimize the number of measurements needed to extract the model. In this way, Jorge will enhance his knowledge by working on behavioral modelling (model extraction, implementation in CAD, and modifications) and waveform measurements. CHFE will improve his range of expertise by hosting a design expert and developing the model for a timely and actual application. This research program is framed in one of the EU2020 targets, which is the efficient use of energy, as an important issue related to the climate change and energy sustainability of the world. The expansion and increasing pervasiveness of wireless networks has significantly increased the impact of their power consumption. By delivering a method to design efficient 5G PAs, PABLO will contribute to green and economically viable 5G systems.

The main target of the proposed research project is to gain and transfer knowledge in the promising research field of hybrid photonic gas sensing technology with novel metal oxide functionalized carbon nanomaterials (MOCNMs) for rapid detection of various target gas analytes, which includes but not limited, environmental pollutants, toxic gases and explosive warfare agents. The MOFUS is focused to develop new hybrid localized surface plasmonic (LSP) gas sensors in conjunction with MOCNMs to achieve rapid and efficient sensing of target gas analytes with high sensitivity and selectivity. We propose innovative approach, which combines training and career development of upcoming potential researchers, use of optical properties of the new MOCNMs and development of hybrid LSP-MOCNMs photonic sensors by novel micro-fabrication tools. The project will thus contribute to monitoring and detection of toxic species of gaseous molecules, and optimization of cleaning routine after environmental and industrial pollution. Hence, positive impact on training of young scientists, safety of ambient environment and public health care is anticipated. The Fellow – Dr. C. M. Raghavan – will be trained in the fast growing field of hybrid photonic sensors and industrial applications to progress his career upon mature Senior Scientist position in advanced research institute. Success of MOFUS in study of new hybrid photonic gas sensors can result in number of advanced applications for environmental safety and health care monitoring. The scientific community will gain from the knowledge on new compounds, by understanding of key optical properties of these materials (as well as performance of potential devices based on them). The engineering community will be able to use such materials to fabricate novel photonic devices. Finally, the society will gain from new pollutants detection methods, while industry will gain from new tools for reliable control of the potential hazard.
