It is now well-established that consuming fruits and vegetables promotes health and well-being. In particular, intake of fruits and vegetables protects against cancer and is associated with lower levels of obesity. Consumption of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is predicted by the extent to which these foods are liked. However, vegetable intakes remain relatively low, especially in children. Establishing preference for vegetables early in a child’s development provides the best opportunity to enhance intake and to promote preferences which will last throughout life. Most children in Europe fail to consume recommended 5 per day portions of fruits and vegetables and many fail to meet minimum recommendations to eat just one portion of vegetables each day. Therefore, this proposal has three main aims: to compare different methods of introducing complimentary foods in member states which best predict liking of vegetables in the first year of life; to develop and test an optimal weaning strategy to promote vegetable acceptance in infants; and to increase liking and intake of vegetables in children aged 4-5 years using flavour-flavour and flavour-consequence learning. The main outcomes of this research programme are the development of a weaning strategy with an emphasis on early and sustained exposure to vegetable flavours; identification and development of new products to facilitate liking for vegetables and preparing an evidence-base for enhancing intake of vegetables in school age children.

The aim of the proposed Marie Curie IAPP project is to develop, validate and demonstrate new robust numerical tools for modelling large deformation problems in geotechnics, considering both quasi-static and dynamic applications. Examples of such applications are the interaction between soil and foundations during installation, service and failure, a well as prediction of slope stability (mass gravity flow problems). The main focus will be in modelling installation effects in geotechnics. From the scientific point of view, the project involves major development and extension of the Material Point Method (MPM), and enhancement and further development of material models for describing the complex rate-dependent stress-strain-strength behaviour of natural geomaterials. In parallel, it also involves further development of various extended finite element methods to account for installation effects, which have the potential to become routine design tools in the future. The core of the proposed project is to validate and demonstrate the new methods and tools for modelling installation effects in geotechnics, which involved real field applications, through intense collaboration between industry and academia. In parallel, the project aims to strengthen and expand the collaborative links between the partners and to increase the R&D input and innovation in the geotechnical field. The philosophy/approach is problem driven, e.g. the numerical tools are developed to solve challenging problems of practical importance.

Program Obfuscators are algorithms that take as input a program P and output another program that has the same input-output functionality, and at the same time is "hard to understand". Ideally, seeing the obfuscated program in full should not give any insight or ability other than the ability to simply run it "as a black box" on inputs of one's choice. Program obfuscation is a hard task. Indeed, practical experience shows that most, if not all ah-hoc attempts at obfuscating programs eventually fail. Furthermore, theoretical results rule out the existence of algorithms that can obfuscate any program in the above ideal sense. Still, recent results demonstrate that provably secure obfuscators do exist for some simple classes of programs. The proposed research aims to further our understanding of this intriguing concept and its usefulness in cryptography. Some of the proposed directions are: - Expanding the boundaries of what's provably obfuscatable. As first steps, we propose new methodologies for obfuscating richer classes of programs, along with some exciting applications. - Formulating and achieving stronger notions of obfuscation than the currently considered ones. The currently considered notions of obfuscation do not suffice for some prominent applications. The unaddressed concerns include malleability of obfuscated programs, composability, and security for low-entropy inputs. - Finding ways to circumvent the known impossibility results for general-purpose obfuscators. Two directions look promising here: One is to relax the current formulations in a way that preserves the essence of the notion. Alternatively, analyze obfuscators in an abstract models that represent limited adversaries. - Finding new applications of the program obfuscation in other areas in cryptography.

Galois representations have become one of the central objects of study in number theory and arithmetic geometry. Since Wiles' proof of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture (hence the completion of the proof of Fermat's last theorem) using Iwasawa theoretical ideas (via Hida's and Mazur's theory of deformations of Galois representations), tremendous amount of progress have been made in the study of Galois representations. Despite the great achievements in the last decade, many important questions in this area of research remain open, such as the "main conjectures" of Iwasawa theory in various contexts, posed in great generality by Greenberg, for various Galois representations and for their various deformations. Once the main conjectures are proven, many interesting arithmetic data may be extracted about the Galois representation one starts off with. The main technical tool to attack the main conjectures is the machinery of Euler systems and Kolyvagin systems. This project aims for a study of Euler systems and Kolyvagin systems attached to Galois representations and attached to their Iwasawa theoretical deformations; as well as related themes within the Euler system theory. Some progress have already been made by the applicant in his thesis where he was able to prove that Kolyvagin systems attached to many Galois representations could be deformed along the "cyclotomic direction", namely in the most classical Iwasawa theoretical setting. Currently, he is involved with a relevant project about the construction of Kolyvagin systems for the nearly ordinary deformations of Galois representations attached to Hilbert modular forms, out of Euler systems constructed by Olivier Fouquet in his thesis. Should this project succeed, it already would be an important step further beyond the treatment of Mazur-Rubin and the applicant's thesis, where they have successfully dealt with the Kolyvagin system theory for the "cyclotomic" deformations, namely the simplest type.

The aim of the project is to stimulate and advance research in microseismic monitoring in areas of prominent social and industrial significance. The project will foster the cooperation between academic researchers in theoretical and observational earthquake seismology and private research teams monitoring a natural or induced microseismic activity for industrial purposes. The involved academics have a reputation in moment tensor inversions, interpretations of non-double-couple focal mechanisms, seismic anisotropy, ray tracing, seismic tomography and seismic hazard assessment. The industrial partners are SMEs with high-tech equipments, long-lasting experience in monitoring microseismicity and with adequate research capacities. They can offer datasets with a potential for further fundamental research. The results of the project will contribute to seismic hazard assessment of the Bohunice nuclear power plant in Slovakia, stability of rock slopes in Norway, deep-level gold mines in South Africa and open-pit mines in Canada. The project promotes synergy between four academic institutions in two EU Member States (Czech Republic, Slovakia) with industrial partners from the EU Member State (Slovakia), the AC country (Norway), the ICPC country (South Africa) and from the OTC country (Canada). In order to establish the firm and beneficial I-A partnership, the project proposes to spend 122 research-months of secondments at partner institutions (realized by 11 researchers from Academia and by 9 researchers from Industry) and 36 research-months of recruitments (2 recruits). The project will be supervised by two top experts in microseismic monitoring Prof. F. Cornet from IPG Strasbourg and Prof. G.R. Foulger from the University of Durham, who have experience with large-scale EU and non-EU projects on natural or induced microseismicity.

The CRITICAL STEP aims to establish the basis for a long term strategic research collaboration between partners in the growing and challenging domain of software for large-scale Safety-Critical Systems (SCSs) based on the use of Off-The-Shelf (OTS) software components for the control of complex distributed infrastructures (e.g. systems for Air Traffic Management, Process Control in Chemical and Nuclear factories, Network Control in the Oil and Gas Industry). The global demand for such systems is high and it is expected to increase in the next years. The actual trend is to use middleware platforms with modular OTS components as a way to: 1) master the complexity in software design by creating, developing a managing an information control system and interconnection between federated systems; 2) reduce development and maintenance time and cost; 3) improve efficiency. Due to the critical nature of the infrastructures to be controlled, these goals must be achieved while assuring quantifiable requirements for safety and security. The CRITICAL STEP project proposes a Transfer of Knowledge (ToK) programme between Industry and Academy through secondments of their internal staff and integration of new recruited staff. The Tok objectives regard 3 main research topics: 1) qualitative evaluation of OTS software for SCS applications; 2) quantitative evaluation of dependability and robustness of OTS based SCSs; 3) R&D of techniques for on-line fault diagnosis. The partners involved in this project feel they are in need of sharing and combining their knowledge and use the existing synergies/complementarities to set long term strategic bases to deal with the complexity of the next generation SCSs, resist market competition and win the challenge of developing new safe technologies and standards. The involved researchers will share their expertise, absorb knowledge, develop original competences and integrate their new acquired know-how back to their home companies.

Fast particles and nanoclusters are produced directly in energetic plasmas, with desirable results as in nanopowder production and undesirable results as in debris and fast particle damage in EUV light sources. The phenomena cover diverse disciplines, from plasma physics to atomic physics, from radiation transport to quantum mechanics, from magnetohydrodynamics to non-equilibrium chemistry. Modelling tools and techniques that can describe the complete process, from plasma formation to formation of energetic particles and large nanoclusters, are lacking. The FIRE project aims to bridge this gap through the collective experience and transfer of knowledge between 3 partners, all actively engaged in different aspects of the overall issue. The knowledge and techniques to be transferred between the research institutions and industrial partner will enhance the capability of modelling of discharge and laser produced plasma to study the plasma dynamics, spectral emission and the creation of nanoparticles for the semiconductor industry and in nanotechnology. A state of the art 2-D RMHD code Z* will be upgraded to include recent advances in atomic physics and evolved into a hybrid 3-D code to address key issues in industrial plasmas. In depth research experience in laser produced plasmas and discharge plasmas will be exchanged. Complex radiation understanding in unresolved transition arrays and non-stationary ionization in mutlicharge ions will be combined. Within the FIRE project, the innovative code created will be used to design the EUV sources together with debris mitigation systems for the lithographic industry on one side, and to optimize the plasma-gas interaction for a cost effective, scalable technology for size-controlled nanopowder production on the other. The theoretical work will be backed up by experimental measurements. The developed modelling tool is expected to be applied in other branches of science and technology.
