user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Evaluation and scale-up of intermediate temperature (700 C) SOFC technology (IT-SOFC technology'.

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives The principal objectives of this proposal are the fabrication and evaluation of intermediate temperature (700 C) planar solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) stacks developing at least 1 kW and up to 1.5 kW electrical power using natural gas. The stacks will be based on self-supported ceramic electrochemical cells incorporating Ce0.9 Gd0.1 O1.95 (CGO) based electrolytes (130 um thick) which will be scaled up from approximately 25 cm2 to 100 cm2 area during the project. The low temperature of operation of the cell will allow ferritic stainless steel with appropriate functional layers to be used as the bi-polar plate material. Technical Approach The operation of solid oxide fuel cells at reduced temperature overcomes one of the major cost limiting problems of SOFCs i.e. elimination of the need for ceramic or expensive alloy interconnect and separator plates. This project seeks to evaluate and optimise an intermediate temperature SOFC set up, based on CGO initially at small scale but ultimately in stacks developing 1.5 kW. Current ceramic electrolyte powders whilst demonstrating potentially useful electrical properties are not suited for the fabrication of thin plates. Optimised ceramic powders will be manufactured and two fabrication routes (an established tape casting technique, and a more novel viscous plastic processing) used to produce PEN components. The performance of these small PENs will be evaluated in purpose built test rigs, and further optimisation of both materials and processing carried out as required. The statistical data obtained from the performance trials will form the basis of an evaluation of the two fabrication routes. Low temperature operation will demand new reforming catalysts. Two catalysts for reforming of the fuel will be developed and incorp

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Dynamic, stem cell-mediated self-renewal in the Drosophila intestine' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Cells in intestinal epithelia turn over rapidly due to aging, damage, and toxins produced by the enteric microbiota. Gut homeostasis is maintained by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that divide to renew the intestinal epithelium, but little is known about how ISC division and differentiation are coordinated with the loss of spent gut epithelial cells. This proposal addresses the mechanisms of dynamic self-renewal in the intestine of Drosophila. Our recent work has outlined a paradigm explaining intestinal homeostasis in Drosophila that could apply also to humans. A new lab is being established in Heidelberg where we wish to extend these studies. Our objectives are to understand: 1) How intestinal stem cell pool sizes are regulated; 2) How the cytokines and growth factors that mediate gut homeostasis are controlled; and 3) How these signals regulate the ISC cell cycle. Established genetic and cell biological methods will be applied, supported by molecular assays (microarrays, qPCR, ChIP/Seq) of gene control. New pathways of ISC control will be discovered via comprehensive genetic screens using transgenic RNAi and gene over-expression. In vitro culture of ISCs will be developed and used for live imaging and molecular analysis of the mechanisms controlling ISC proliferation and differentiation. These studies should elaborate a paradigm explaining intestinal homeostasis in flies that can guide studies in mammals, eventually contributing to the diagnosis and treatment for diseases in which gut homeostasis is disrupted, such as colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Because stem cell biology is so highly relevant to wound healing, regeneration, cancer, aging and degenerative disease, this research could impact human health at many levels.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Biotechnological optimization of light use efficiency in algae photobioreactors' (BioLEAP) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

New renewable energy source are highly needed to compensate exhausting fossil fuels reserves and reduce greenhouse gases emissions. Some species of algae have an interesting potential as feedstock for the production of biodiesel thanks to their ability to accumulate large amount of lipids. Strong research efforts are however needed to fulfil this potential and address many issues involving optimization of cultivation systems, biomass harvesting and algae genetic improvement. This proposal aims to address one of these issues, the optimization of algae light use efficiency. Light, in fact, provides the energy supporting algae growth and must be exploited with the highest possible efficiency to achieve sufficient productivity.In a photobioreactor algae are highly concentrated and this cause a inhomogeneous light distribution with a large fraction of the cells exposed to very low light or even in the dark. Algae are also actively mixed and they can abruptly move from dark to full illumination and vice versa. This proposal aims to assess how alternation of dark/light cycles affect algae growth and functionality of photosynthetic apparatus both in batch and continuous cultures. In collaboration with the Chemical Engineering department, experimental data will be exploited to build a model describing the photobioreactor, a fundamental tool to improve its design.The other main scope of this proposal is the isolation of genetically improved strains more suitable to the artificial environment of a photobioreactor. A first part of the work of setting up protocols for transformation will be followed by a second phase for generation and selection of mutants with altered photosynthetic performances. Transcriptome analyses in different light conditions will also be instrumental to iden

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Development of a Bioengineered Heart Patch for the Treatment of Myocardial Infarction'.

assistant: **Concept**

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), e.g. Myocardial Infarction (MI) and stroke, are the leading cause of death, accounting each year for more than 17.5 million people worldwide, 25% of which is in Europe. Cardiac bioengineering is a new research area to develop grafts and patches to replace or repair damaged heart tissue. However, a fully functional graft has not yet conceived. The main goal of this project is to develop bioengineered heart patches to induce regeneration of the tissue and restore heart functions after MI.Aims: the aims and the results hoped for are:1. To develop collagen-based nano-fibrous scaffolds that are:a. Biocompatible and biodegradable, e.g. favour cell growth, and allow regeneration of thehost tissue and remodel with the growing heart.b. Robust, elastic, and contractile that matches heart muscle.c. Conductive to electrical impulses generated by the heart.d. Porous enough to enable exchange of nutrients and waste from the patch.e. Non-thrombogenic to ensure the patch will not cause thrombosis.2. To significantly reinforce the biomedical research in Europe through efficient use of the allocated budget toward my integration into a more permanent position in Sweden, as well as enhancing knowledge transfer and cooperation between EU and Canada.Research Strategy: I have previously developed hybrid interpenetrating polymer networks (HIPN) as bioengineered corneas that were mimetic of the natural cornea and successfully implanted into corneas of pigs with seamless host-graft integration and regeneration of the host cornea. HIPN is a core concept that can be tailored for various tissue applications. I therefore propose to engineer HIPN scaffolds for cardiac patches mainly comprised of collagen, and carbon nanotubes.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Enhancement of Anaerobic Fermentation by means of Process Control by FTIR/ATR-Sensors' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The scientific and technical objectives of this research project concern the enhancement of anaerobic fermentation (digestion) by means of process control by FTIR:ATR sensor technology. By that means yeild of methane and stability of the process should be increased drastically. Using methane for the production of electric power and also using of the waster heat of the gas engines reduce costs of the overall process and will lead to a more wide-spread use of the technology of anaerobic fermentation all over Europe.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Integral Intestinal Transit Management System for chronic constipation'.

assistant: **Concept**

Up to 15% of the EU and USA population suffer from Chronic Constipation. The most affected collectives are women, aging people and patients with Neurogenic Bowel disorders related to Spinal cord injury, Parkinson and Multiple Sclerosis. Constipation causes a painful evacuation, faecal impaction and faecal incontinence, which have a big negative impact on the quality of life of these patients.USMIMA S.L., created in 2014, offers MOWOOT, a non-pharmacological, non-invasive solution to relieve chronical constipation, without side-effects, in form of a wearable class II medical device that automatically emulates the abdominal massage techniques of professional therapists via a number of actuators. A pilot study with chronically constipated patients has already shown that the daily use of MOWOOT ameliorates idiopathic chronic constipation (TRL7).  USMIMA wants to target a 90B M€ market of 150 million people with chronic constipation identified. A feasibility study showed that, in order to target this market and increase the influence on target clients, USMIMA has to priorize the following activities during this phase 2:• Conduct a larger clinical study as a marketing strategy to build confidence in the medical sector and promote MOWOOT prescriptions• Upgrade Mowoot 1.0 prototype to Mowoot 2.0 product, by adding cloud and smart services and other features required by users• Reduce costs (below current 500€) through scaling the manufacturing process MOWOOT is expected to produce a big impact on USMIMA by: • Generating 2.5 M€ of EBITDA by 2018• Incorporating 5 new specialized employees to complement current staff profiles  • Introducing MOWOOT products in EU and USA markets by 2019Moreover, MOWOOT will empower patients and elderly people, enhance well-being among the society, i

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Bioregional mineralisation with agricultural resources for construction'.

assistant: **Concept**

BIOARC connects the agricultural and construction sector by developing high-performance bio-based building materials from agricultural by-products. Bacteria are included as co-creators through a biomineralization process, to develop lightweight, fire-resistant products – such as insulation boards, construction panels, acoustic panels, and partition walls. To ensure global scalability, the project will leverage regionally available resources like rice, wheat, sunflower, and hops, which are widely accessible not only in the EU but also in other parts of the world. By standardizing production processes and rigorously assessing the structural, thermal, acoustic, health-related, and durability properties of the materials, the project ensures consistent quality, performance and validating them in real-world construction environments. The project takes a bioregional approach, collaborating closely with local communities, farmers, craftsmen, and industries to develop local value chains that reduce carbon emissions and promote circular economy principles. By connecting stakeholders across four European bioregions, the project integrates a participatory design process, ensuring that the developed materials are not only environmentally sustainable but also culturally embedded and economically viable. The project engages with the NEB hub for results and impacts, as well as contributing to regenerative design principles in the construction sector. BIOARC aims to provide scalable, cost-effective, and high-performance materials, while supporting local economies and promoting resilience against environmental and economic changes.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'A Web Platform for Forecasting Species Climatic Vulnerability' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Reliable Forecasts of species’ Climatic Vulnerability (FCV) are key to attain objectives in the horizon 2020 program. However, the complexity of FCV, and the massive amount of data needed for it, defy current approaches and data availability. State-of-the-art forecasts use measures of species’ thermal tolerance and of their ability to avoid overheating environments. Still, these models rely on two central premises. First, that a single combination of temperature and time of exposure will induce population declines. Yet, myriads of combinations of temperature and time of exposure can actually kill the individuals of a population. A second premise is that known parameters of thermal tolerance can identify thermal limits for the geographic distribution of species. Finally, whether these premises are true or not, most species lack the data needed to model their vulnerability to climate change.During this project, I will apply, for first time, the concepts of the Thermal Death Curve (TDC) and the Voluntary Thermal Maximum (VTM) to improve forecasts. The TDC represents all the potential combinations of temperature and time that causes population damage and the VTM represents a temperature objectively identified by the organisms as stressful. My preliminary analyses have shown that these tools multiply the power of produced forecasts and prevent dramatic biases introduced by more traditional parameters. Secondly, I will test, on a global scale, whether the known limits of animal’s geographic distributions are set by known measures of their thermal tolerance. Finally, to channel global efforts to the collection of the necessary species data and the generation of robust forecast, I will create an online platform to engage experts in climatic vulnerability world-wide through an a

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Boosting Performance of Phase Change Devices by Hetero- and Nano-Structure Material Design' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

This proposal aims at establishing the foundations of a new technology, suitable for the implementation in networks of Electronic Smart Systems (ESS) exploiting the capability of phase-change materials to process and store data in the very same physical place, with particular focus on automotive applications.  The ESS of the future should be able to sense its environment, locally store and process the information, as well as communicate with other objects in a network. Within our project the realization of processing/storage devices will be achieved through the development of new material combinations with the best material trade-off benchmarked for automotive applications. We will make use of a test vehicle to allow the comparison among different materials. After successful evaluation of the best material combination, a demonstrator with processing/storage ability will be implemented. At the end of the project a full evaluation of the demonstrator will be performed. Furthermore, integration in an embedded chip environment for automotive application, as well as scalability and reliability issues, will be evaluated. The results are going to be made public and used to plan the first chip with embedded state of the art technology to be implemented in the automotive sector, with an expected direct impact on the Internet of Things (IoT) market. BeforeHand will provide a practical realization of such a novel technological computing paradigm. BeforeHand is a project with a strong involvement of material development, device preparation and functionality in terms of memory devices, as well as data processing devices, in order to address the call requirements.
