user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'ADAPTATION OF A MICRO-HYDROPOWER PLANT (H=1M60) TO A SMALLER HEAD (H=1M20)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The low-head hydro-site of the Dijlemolens in the city of Leuven, Belgium was designed for TSAP Vzw with a head of 1m 60 and supported by the E.C. (HY./0059/85/BE). As a result of an uncarefull study done for the Flemish community the head had to be lowered from 1m60 to 1m20. This meant the site couldn't work for years. Ecowatt NV, founded by the same persons as TSAP Vzw, took up the problem, the University of Gent worked out a solution so that by adapting the turbine, an expected capacity of 30 kW can be installed.The installation will be monitored for a year.The inflow of the turbine was adapted. A new generator was installed. Other essential adaptations were carried out. Testing and measurements took place on 26/5/97 and on 23/3/98. The results of these tests show a capacity of 11,62 kW for the first testing and of 12,38 kW for the second testing. According to the simulation program of the University of Gent, the turbine should take a flow of 2.90 m³/s and give an effective return of 0.70 with a head of 1.05 m and a speed of 120 r.p.m. The recorded flow (2.72 m³/s) does not vary much from the measured flow (2.90 m³/s). The recorded return (0.44) varies largely from the measured return (0.70). This shows that the machine is working properly as far as the flowmechanics are concerned but that a mechanical failure is present : a substantial dissipation of the power generated by the flow. Analysis and consideration of the testresults will lead to new solutions for the remaining problems.Energy saving : 180000 kWh x 750 gr/kWh = 135.0 tons of CO2 reductionThe hydro-site of the Dijlemolens consists of two installations on 2 branches of the river Dijle: 1) An axial propellor turbine (Semi-Kaplan) with fixed blader and fixed runner blader designed for Q = 3.7 m3/s and H = 1m6

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Extending the Ocean Data Interoperability Platform' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

The Ocean Data Interoperability Platform project is promoting the development of a common global framework for marine data management by developing interoperability between existing regional e-infrastructures. Through a series of international workshops attracting relevant domain experts a number of prototype interoperability solutions will be developed which will be implemented by the regional data infrastructures to provide users with open access to good quality multidisciplinary data and associated services. Improved access to a range of marine data will facilitate re-use of the data and support researchers in addressing grand challenges such as climate change and conservation of marine resources.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Populism contagion: Strategic policy responses to populist opponents' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The European Council included a free and democratic Europe on its strategic agenda for 2024-2029. However, the success of several populist parties is a serious threat to achieving this goal. Understanding how mainstream politicians respond to this pressure can reveal shifts in the broader democratic discourse. Focusing on French parliamentary elections between 1958 and 2024, for which there are individual candidate manifestos, this project will be the first to credibly show how political candidates strategically adjust their campaigns to populist opponents. The project will use natural language processing methods to study the adjustment in three dimensions: policy topics, their rhetorical complexity, and the level of populism. Leveraging regression discontinuity designs and exploiting two-stage elections and the quasi-random presence of a populist candidate in the second round, the project will show the causal effect of populist candidates on mainstream ones. The project will also provide for the first time evidence of whether this adjustment is constrained to the political campaign or impacts the legislative activity of elected politicians by analysing their policy topics, the complexity of their legislation, and the level of populism in their debates.

user: Describe how 'ICT System addressed to integrated logistic management and decision support for intermodal port and dry port facilities' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The project aims at developing an integrated ICT tool able to support logistic chain of goods flow and all business operations provided in the port and the dry port areas. In recent years maritime traffic flow has been increasing in terms of volume of goods and interconnections with different means of transport, such as railway and road networks. As a matter of fact the available space in all port areas can not follow this growing trend, since ports are usually located close to or within the cities. For that reason in many metropolis available port areas are becoming scarce resources. In order to increase the available space dry ports are often established outside the classical port borders and directly connected via rail infrastructures or roads. In this new terminal operators can leave and/or collect their goods as if they were in the port. Moving the time-consuming processing of containers inland away from congested seaports can speed up the flow of cargo among ships and land transportation networks. Moreover many services such as customs clearance, storage and maintenance of containers can be transferred to the dry port. However, the overall management will become more and more complex, since the two terminals have to be managed as if they were one. The SAIL project will develop a Decision Support System (DSS) and a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) to support the management of port intermodal facilities in a European context. Within this framework, experienced researchers will work on a precise representation, modelling and simulation of the intermodal port. There will be developed an advanced DSS based on cognitive based methodologies using soft computing along with computational intelligence techniques to provide an online strategic decision support though a state-

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'ATTributing heAt-related excess mortality and morbidity to Climate cHange' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Climate change is known to affect deaths and hospitalizations associated with heat exposure in Europe. Yet, despite a broad epidemiological knowledge base on the future impacts of climate change, few studies so far have formally attributed heat-related mortality and morbidity to climate change that has already occurred over the past century. ATTACH contributes to the closing of this important research gap, with a special focus on recent European heatwaves. The project will make use of death count and hospitalization statistics from major cities in Germany, and will combine state-of-the-art epidemiological approaches (time-series Poisson regression including distributed-lag non-linear models, and meta-regression techniques) with an innovative approach to climate impact attribution. This novel approach derives counterfactual climate data, mimicking a world without climate change, from detrended observations. In line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement, effective communication and dissemination activities will ensure that results can be applied to improve adaptation measures for protection of population health from the adverse consequences of climate change. The institutional and training arrangements will guarantee an impactful knowledge transfer between the applicant and the host, opening up opportunities for fruitful collaboration at the interface of epidemiology and climate sciences. Overall, ATTACH will significantly improve the prospective of the applicant for developing a career as an independent research group leader in the field of climate change and health.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'ADDITIVE TO PREDICTIVE MANUFACTURING FOR MULTISTOREY CONSTRUCTION USING LEARNING BY PRINTING AND NETWORKED ROBOTICS', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The negative environmental impact of construction, effects of global climate change, global housing shortage, and rising labor costs due to a shortage of skilled workers are driving the construction industry to question traditional construction methods and push the limits of innovation. In this quest, additive manufacturing (AM) technology (in particular 3D concrete printing (3DCP)) is gaining ground in the construction industry to respond to the urgent demand for acceleration and digitization. The method of automating construction by reading digital models of buildings is undoubtedly key for the construction industry to achieve environmental sustainability, cost reduction, and realize complex shaped designs. 3DCP is thus well suited to adopting digital technologies and automating construction.The vision of AM2PM is to transform the traditional construction site for multistorey buildings into a digital and sustainable site of the future with a 50% reduction in material use and embodied carbon. This is in line with the EU green deal, New European Bauhaus and EU Digital Strategy to mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions.AM2PM will introduce a paradigm shift in the application of AM in construction through a comprehensive system-of-systems approach that intertwines a) multi-agent human-robotic systems that work collaboratively on site in a well-coordinated and safe manner, b) computational design of components considering buildability and environmental efficiency, c) design of the requisite sustainable cementitious materials using granular recycled and locally available material, d) AI models to predict and control the manufacturing process and e) the digital twin construction information backbone that enables cohesive operation of the design and production sy

user: Explain how 'Novel process for applying metal coatings to plastic substrates' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Plated plastics are becoming widely used especially for parts in automobiles and domestic appliances. It is currently thought that plateable plastics can be etched to allow the surface to be activated with a mono layer of Pd prior to the electroless deposition of Cu or Ni. Recent research has shown that a mono-layer does not exist but that Pd/Sn clusters nucleate on the polymer surface. The etching treatment influences nucleation and the accelerating process influences Pd/Sn concentration in clusters. Plastics which are unplateable e.g. nylon because one or more of these processes does not occur . The concept is to create surface discontinuities by incorporating filler particles in the polymer surface; the use of alternative thermal/mechanical surface treatments and accelerating solutions to enhance Pd/Sn cluster formation, in order to promote the efficient deposition from Cu and Ni electroless baths . Recycling by replating of high value components with plating problems will be assessed.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Efficient and affordable Zero Emission logistics through NEXT generation Electric TRUCKs', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The volume of the commercial freight sector is expected to increase towards 2050, especially in the medium to heavy truck modes (N2 and N3 type). However, in parallel to that, the recent European climate goals bring challenges for the transport sector. Given the fact that the typical vehicle development cycles can be of 5-7 years, an immediate collective and collaborative action from the research organizations, business strategists, technology companies and OEMs is necessary. The result of this would be to attain high-TRL concepts that are ready to roll out in the European and global market, where there is more room for a gradual adoption at the consumer side. In any case, given the fact that there are substantial technological and business steps are being taken in the zero-emission transport field, the next 30 years towards 2050 potentially requires more dramatic changes than the last 30 years (i.e., since 1990).NextETRUCK aims to address different optimization challenges regarding tomorrow’s urban and suburban logistics for medium duty vehicles into systems-approach that is reliable, strongly integrated, affordable, and flexible enough to re-applied to different applications via dedicated tools/methods.The overarching objective of the NextETRUCK project is to play a pioneering role in the decarbonization of the vehicle fleets, via demonstrating next generation e-mobility concepts consisting of holistic, innovative, affordable, competitive and synergetic zero emission vehicles and ecosystems for tomorrow’s medium freight haulage, while aiming significant leap of knowledge at component, vehicle, fleet, infrastructure and ecosystem levels, via innovations at e-powertrain components and architectures, smart charging infrastructure and management, improved thermal design o

user: Explain how 'Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spinal cord at 7 Tesla' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become an indispensable tool in neuroscience to study human brain function non-invasively. However, translation of fMRI to investigate function of the second major component of the central nervous system, the spinal cord, has been severely hampered by technical difficulties. Two major challenges for spinal fMRI relate to the anatomy: (i) severe static image distortion caused by vertebrae and the lungs and (ii) dynamic signal instability introduced by breathing. I propose to address these problems by leveraging my expertise with cutting-edge technology for magnetic field compensation, available only to a few sites world-wide including my host institute in Oxford. These advances will enable me to take advantage of the signal-to-noise ratio improvement of ultra-high field (7 Tesla) MRI scanners, which has been clearly demonstrated in the brain but has remained elusive for the spine. The final stage of this project will deploy these methods on a collaborative project investigating the neurobiological mechanisms of pain in the spine. This project will enable me to build strategically on my dual training in engineering and medicine to develop an inter-disciplinary research profile at the interface of neuroscience and methodology.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Rod-derived Cone Viability Factor' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The discovery of RdCVF (Rod-derived Cone Viability Factor) has provided a clue to understanding the secondary loss of cone photoreceptors (and of central and light-adapted vision) following the degeneration of rod photoreceptors as a consequence of mutations expressed only in rods in most cases of rod-cone degenerations (or retinitis pigmentosa : RP). In two different rodent models of RP, intraocular administration of RdCVF increased significantly cone survival and function. Given the unparalleled genetic heterogeneity of retinal dystrophies, including RP, the delivery of RdCVF appears as a promising, mutation independent strategy for preserving central vision, even at late stages of the disease, opening a wide window for neuroprotection. RdCVF, discovered by team 1, and developed by team 5, has been granted by the EMEA and FDA the Orphan Status. Reaching the stage of phase I/II trials with RdCVF protein therapy in RP implies several key preclinical milestones: 1) the production of GMP grade proteins and their functional validation in in vitro and in vivo assays, 2) pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies determining, the dosage, half life, site of injection of the protein, while 3) toxicology studies will be performed in normal and mutant mice and rats, and in monkeys. In parallel, based on the knowledge gained by partner 1 on tryparedoxins (the family of RdCVF) and on RdCVF sequence and paralogs, attempts will be made to 4) optimize the therapeutic protein. In order to reduce the injected dose and to provide a steady level of RdCVF, innovative delivery systems such as nanoparticules will be developed. These steps, conducted by renown academic partners in the fields of neuroprotection and toxicology, experienced industrials and subcontractants, will lead to a proof
