user: Draft an impact statement for 'Transformations of inorganic constituents leading to slagging and fouling in a cotton ginning residues fired combined heat and power plant', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The use of agricultural residues (cotton ginning residues, wheat straw, wood chips, corn stacks) as a fuel in a CHP plant has the advantage of improving the energy efficiency of the plant while at the same time avoids the necessity of their disposal. The use, however, of such an unconventional fuel has the drawback of slagging and fouling in the combustor of the plant which leads to reduced operation efficiency and high maintenance costs. The main aims of the intended project are : -To define the partitioning of inorganic constituents associated with raw fuel particles among product (including vapours, aerosols and residual char/ash particles) formed under conditions relevant to utility flames as a function of their specific (intrinsic and extrinsic) characteristics and the environment in which the transformation occurs and to finally characterize the resultant spectrum of products. - To elucidate and quantify the fundamental processes involved in the transformation of inorganic constituents which will lead to minimum slagging and fouling predicament. - To develop, based on the information acquired in the previous points, a tractable 'process' model capable of predicting the significant features of the transformation process, and most importantly, the nature and distribution of ash minerals. - To design, develop, manufacture and test a CHP plant fired on cotton ginning residues.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'The Effects of Payroll Tax Caps and Payroll Tax Changes on the Distribution of Earnings' (TATO).

assistant: **Concept**

This project analyzes the effects of capped payroll taxes on the distributions of labor costs, gross and net earnings. Such payroll taxes impose a flat tax rate, divided between employee and employers, on earnings up to an earnings cap above which the marginal tax rate drops to zero. With no labor supply responses, standard theory predicts that the density distribution of labor costs (earnings inclusive of all payroll taxes) should be smooth around the cap and hence that the density distribution of net-of-tax earnings should display a discontinuity at the cap. The theory also predicts that year to year net-of-tax pay raises should be higher for workers above the payroll tax cap than for workers below the cap. Such predictions can be empirically evaluated with new microdata bases. The project also studies the individual and firm responses to payroll tax changes.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'A toolbox for fitness landscapes in evolution' (FIT2GO) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

A major challenge in evolutionary biology is to quantify the processes and mechanisms by which populations adapt to new environments. In particular, the role of epistasis, which is the genetic-background dependent effect of mutations, and the constraints it imposes on adaptation, has been contentious for decades. This question can be approached using the concept of a fitness landscape: a map of genotypes or phenotypes to fitness, which dictates the dynamics and the possible paths towards increased reproductive success. This analogy has inspired a large body of theoretical work, in which various models of fitness landscapes have been proposed and analysed. Only recently, novel experimental approaches and advances in sequencing technologies have provided us with large empirical fitness landscapes at impressive resolution, which call for the evaluation of the related theory.The aim of this proposal is to build on the theory of fitness landscapes to quantify epistasis across levels of biological organization and across environments, and to study its impact on the population genetics of adaptation and hybridization. Each work package involves classical theoretical modelling, statistical inference and method development, and data analysis and interpretation; a combination of approaches for which my research group has strong expertise. In addition, we will perform experimental evolution in Escherichia coli and influenza to test hypotheses related to the change of fitness effects across environments, and to adaptation by means of highly epistatic mutations. We will specifically apply our methods to evaluate the potential for predicting routes to drug resistance in pathogens. The long-term goal lies in the development of a modeling and inference framework that utilizes fitness l

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Training in experiment, phenomenology and technology transfer at the energy frontier' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Innovation**

This single-host programme aims to train 15 Early Stage Researchers, ESRs, in theoretical and experimental High Energy Physics, and/or inter-disciplinary technology transfer from High Energy Physics (seven ESRs for 36 months and eight ESRs from other institutions during shorter (~6 months) training placements in Lund). High-energy physics is the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that act upon them. This information is one of the basic pillars for our understanding of nature, the origin of the universe and the principles of physics.The experimental research training is with data from two complementary operational and two new facilities at the world absolute research forefront, the latter two will become operational during this programme. Examples of the available research training include searching for dark matter, signs of extra dimensions, physics with b-quarks, to explore quark gluon plasma and the physics-impact of detailed properties of the parton distributions.The theoretical programme includes the development of super symmetry scenarios giving multi-scale showers, where coloured short-lived particles undergo sequential decays, to improve estimates of asymmetries and widths necessary for CP violation measurements, and to exp lore the connection between diffraction, saturation and multiple scattering; much in close collaboration with the experiments. The training includes also inter-disciplinary activities focusing on applying the technology developed for High Energy Physics to bioimaging or to further applications in grid-computing.

user: Explain how 'Nonlinear dynamics of ship capsize in extreme seas' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Research objectives and content Ship stability and capsize are examined from a dynamical systems perspective. The objectives are, (1) to develop a designmethodology for maximising resistance to capsize due to beam-sea resonance with full account of system nonlinearity; (2) to enhance understanding of astern-sea capsize at fundamental level. In respect to (1), the potential of two different capsizepredictors will be investigated based on (la) transient motions and the sudden erosion of the safe basin following the heteroclinic tangency of manifolds, predicted through Melnikov's theory, and, (lb) steady-state capsize due to a heteroclinic chain. The critical wave slope for either type of capsize will be derived, parameterized in respect to the system's restoring and damping coefficients. A multi-variable optimisation problem with equality and inequality constraints will be solved to find the combination of system parameter values that maximise survivability for the considered criteria. In respect to (2), the effect of yaw motion for the so-called broaching instability and the onset of capsize in astern seas will be investigated. In particular, we shall examine to what extent a simple, pendulum-like system, forced directly and/or parametrically, can reproduce the main features of broaching. Comparisons will be made with our predictions based on a multi-degree numerical model of surge, sway, yaw and roll motions and with earlier physical-model experimental results. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) Training objective: To acquire new skills in advanced optimisation methodologies so that to be able to integrate the analysis of nonlinearsystems with ship design. Also, to impart knowledge of nonlinear dynamics acquired during the current fellowship at UC

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Boosting tryptophan fluorescence with optical nanoantennas to watch label-free protein dynamics with single molecule resolution at high concentration' (TryptoBoost).

assistant: **Innovation**

Proteins execute a broad range of functions that are central to life. Understanding these functions ultimately requires experiments at the single protein level to reveal dynamics and heterogeneities hidden in ensemble-averaged measurements. Currently, the preferred method to study single protein machineries is based on fluorescence techniques. However, fluorescence experiments suffer from major challenges: the need for external fluorescent labeling, weak signals and low non-physiological concentrations in the nanomolar range. These challenges severely limit the applicability and biological relevance of single molecule fluorescence on proteins. The TryptoBoost project aims to overcome all the previous challenges, and efficiently monitor single label-free proteins using their intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence enhanced by optical nanoantennas in the ultraviolet. Using the natural amino acid fluorescence rules out all drawbacks due to external labeling, while the optical nanoantennas enable single protein analysis at the physiologically relevant micromolar concentrations thanks to the localization and enhancement of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. To demonstrate the power of this new technology, our interdisciplinary team will probe the important biological problems of amyloid aggregation and tumor suppressor p53 protein folding dynamics at high concentrations. The TryptoBoost approach is directly applicable to any protein containing aromatic amino acids. This condition is met by more than 90% of human proteins, so the project breakthroughs will benefit a broad range of biophysical, chemical, and medical applications. For instance, it will improve the development of therapeutic drugs, increase the detection sensitivity and read-out speed in analytical biosensing

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Domestic Slavery and Sexual Exploitation in the Households of Europe, North Africa, and the Near East, from Constantine to c. AD 900 / AH 287'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The sexual exploitation of the unfree within the households of the late- and post-Roman world profoundly affected wider society in ways that necessitate a large-scale, multi-contextual collaborative investigation.During this transformative period, Christianity established itself as the defining institution of the Latin West and Greek East; complex Islamicate societies emerged in the Near East, North Africa, and Spain; and Jewish communities developed a unique network across the region. As dynamic forces swept across these diverse societies and overturned longstanding customs, beliefs, and practices, the household stood firm as the fundamental unit of social organisation  a microcosm in which identities (male/female, slave/free, adult/child, local/foreign) were formed and reinforced.Unfree people living in these domestic contexts were particularly vulnerable to violence and exploitation. Neither was this incidental to their condition. The shame associated with their sexual use at the hands of those who held power over them helped maintain the institution of domestic slavery and stabilise wider social hierarchies during an era of headlong change, though in ways that are only poorly understood.This research project will reconstruct the motivations and justifications behind the sexual exploitation of domestic slaves, identify how the lived experience in the household shaped the content of our sources, reveal how a common Roman inheritance impacted later practices, and explain the similarities and differences found within Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities across the region. By approaching the sexual exploitation of slaves as a social practice with its own particular logic and rationale, and by analysing the whole of the greater Mediterranean world as a single, interc

assistant: **Objectives**

This project aims to better understanding of the molecular processes involved in carotid plaque morphology and seventy of vessel narrowing in the pathogenesis of ischaemic stroke associated with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis. We propose to investigate the changes in gene activation, particularly those coding for angiogenic molecules and associated second messenger molecules in carotid plaques, serum and ischaemic brain following stroke. We will try to identify the link molecules between plaque pathology, serum cytokine expression and penumbra evolution in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid disease. Further we want to extend our observations in humans to in vitro and in vivo models. Beneficial or detrimental activation of each signal transduction pathway will be assessed on the base of cell survival and induction of apoptosis or necrosis in the carotid plaques and ischaemic penumbra.The main objectives are the following:1) Screening for changes in gene expression using Clontech Atlas multi-array technology. Important genes involved in signal transduction pathways will be identified and these will be studied in more detailes;2) Immunohistochemistry, western blotting and protein activity studies for Fas, TNFRI, ras, raf, MAP-ERK family, PI3K, AKT, bad, Bclx-L;3) Quantification of expression of the second messengers: PLC, PLA2, MAPK, and cytokines: VEGF, TGF, and PDGF families;4) In the second year animal stroke model of focal cerebral ischaemia will be studied. The expression of the most important molecules will be compared with those found in humans;5) Cell death mechanisms implicated in the plaque pathology will be studied. We will concentrate on the caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways. This will be compared to our initial s
