user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Innovative spray system for controlled binder distribution in industrial production process of wood-based panels'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The present project is intended to develop an innovative system for the controlled distribution of binder on loose particles in the process of production of wood-based panels. The prior art main drawback is related to the relative low control on quantity and uniformity of applied binder. To overcome such drawback it will be realised an innovative system based on electrostatic charging of binder drops and then spraying them on loose wood particles. The R&D activity will be focused on the development of an electrostatic charging device and of a spraying device and particularly on their integration in a reliable and efficient system, useful for binder distribution phase in industrial wood-based panels manufacturing process. Main expected results are: more uniform binder distribution on wood particles and lower binder quantity necessary to obtain excellent quality wood-based panels.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Microarrays of Synthetic Heparin Oligosaccharides' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Concept**

Heparin-like glycosaminoglycans (HLGAGs) play a key role in regulating the biological activity ofseveral proteins in the coagulation cascade along with many other processes of biomedical importance includinggrowth factor interactions, virus entry, and angiogenesis. However, the relationship between structure and activity of HLGAGs is still very poorly understood due to the complexity and heterogeneity of these polymers. A better understanding of heparin-protein interactions will create an opportunity for the discovery of novel therapeutic interventions for a variety of disease states. Carbohydrate microarrays are promising tools to aid in the discovery of oligosaccharides moieties necessary for carbohydrate-binding protein recognition. Here, we propose the novel preparation of microarrays of synthetic heparin oligosacharides (from solution and solid phase synthesis). First, the linker chemistry will be developed in order to attach the heparin molecules to a chip surface.This strategy will be compatible with the protecting-group manipulations required for the synthesis of HLGAGs. Several approaches will be examined to immobilize the synthetic molecules depending on the type of linker used. After developing the adequate technique for attachment, arrays equipped with a set of covalently immobilized heparin oligosaccharides will be prepared. To demonstrate the utility of such arrays, protein-carbohydrate interaction experiments will be carried out using heparin-binding proteins such as Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF's). Microarrays will be analysed by using array readers and surface plasmon resonance.The development of automated solid phase methods for the synthesis of HLGAGs will be performed in order to enable the rapid generation of oligosaccharides in order to increase

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Illuminating Ultra-Slow Spreading Centres: a seismic approach to the Cayman Trough' (CAYMAN).

assistant: **Concept**

About 25% of the Earth’s mid-ocean ridges spread at ultraslow rates of less than 20 mm/yr. However, most of these ultraslow spreading ridges are located in geographically remote areas, which hamper investigation. Consequently, how the crust forms and ages at such spreading centres, which traditional models predict to be magma-starved and cold, remains poorly understood. Recent studies of the ultraslow Mid-Cayman Spreading Centre in the Caribbean Sea, have observed the deepest and hottest black smoker hydrothermal systems on Earth, and off-axis medium-temperature venting with exhumed lower crustal and upper mantle and volcanic lithologies juxtaposed by detachment-style faulting. In CAYMAN we will establish the lithospheric context of these observations that contradict the predictions of traditional models, and test recently developed models of oceanic crustal formation at the slowest of spreading rates. We will use for the first time closely-spaced stations for a high-resolution subsurface mapping of seismic velocities to study the temporal and spatial interplay between magmatic accretion and magmatic tectonic extension, and the controls on and relationship between faulting and hydrothermal activity. The project scope is centred on the growing body of evidence that crust accreted at slower spreading rates does not form by a simple process of symmetric, magmatic accretion as traditional models predict. Instead tectonic extension accommodated by large-offset detachment faults, along which water percolates and by which the lower crust and the serpentined upper mantle are exhumed, appears to play a significant role. CAYMAN is an innovative project that will provide a quality leap in the understanding of ultra-slow spreading centres. It has a strong international dimension, a

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Extreme Events Variability over Europe'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project aims at the investigation and analysis of causes for synoptic- to decadal scale variability in the occurrence of meteorological and climatological extreme events over the North-Atlantic/ European region. Focus of the study will thus be to increase the understanding of variability steering factors and to enable a deeper understanding of processes involved in modulating the frequency and intensity of extreme events on the time scales from days up to 30 years and beyond. This understanding should help to allow estimates of necessary adaptation strategies to anthropogenic climate change impacts and their timely planning and initialization. Focus will be laid on severe extra-tropical cyclones as the major meteorological hazard to Europe, as well as on hydro-meteorological combined risks like heat waves and droughts. For the time horizon beyond 2040, scenario based simulations will be investigated to deduce estimates on long-term developments. The project will additionally concentrate on the estimation of damage potentials for wind storm and heat waves on different time scales linking the underpinning science to end-user needs.""

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Deep Green Island Mode' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Innovation**

15 million Europeans live on Europe’s 2,400 inhabited islands, at an average of approximately 1,500 households per island. As recognised by the European Commission, island energy is expensive, polluting, inefficient and dependent on external supply, with significant negative impacts on emissions, the competitiveness of businesses, and the economy. Assuming that just 65% of these islands’ electricity comes from diesel, we estimate that they produce approximately 17.5 million tonnes of CO2 every year. This is further increased when considering isolated coastal communities. Existing renewable alternatives are often unsuitable for these communities, such as wind and solar power, as the energy they generate is unpredictable and intermittent, making it difficult to rely on. They also have a large land footprint and high CAPEX costs. Tidal energy is also often unsuitable, as it requires fast tidal flows (over 2.5m/s) which only occur in a few specific hot spots around the World. The technology is also expensive, with both high CAPEX and OPEX costs. The Deep Green Island Mode (DG Island Mode) is a stand-alone tidal and ocean current energy converter for off-grid applications. The DG Island Mode is the concept of flying an underwater kite, that when steered in an 8-shaped trajectory, generates a speed of 8-10 times the speed of the actual current. This generates the following unique performance characteristics: - Generates cost effective electricity in tidal flows as low as 1.3 m/s - Generates up to 100kW, producing an estimated 0.35 GWh/year, enough to power 100 homes; - Can be located close to the shore; - Up to 15 times lighter per kW compared to other tidal energy solutions - Easy, low cost installation and maintenance (low CAPEX and OPEX costs); - Cost of energy 50% lower t

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Innovative large-scale energy STOragE technologies AND Power-to-Gas concepts after Optimisation' (STOREandGO) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

This proposal is an application to the EU programme “Horizon 2020” and its topic “Large scale energy storage” (LCE-09-2015). The presented project “STORE&GO” will demonstrate three “innovative Power to Gas storage concepts” at locations in Germany, Switzerland and Italy in order to overcome technical, economic, social and legal barriers. The demonstration will pave the way for an integration of PtG storage into flexible energy supply and distribution systems with a high share of renewable energy. Using methanation processes as bridging technologies, it will demonstrate and investigate in which way these innovative PtG concepts will be able to solve the main problems of renewable energies: fluctuating production of renewable energies; consideration of renewables as suboptimal power grid infrastructure; expensive; missing storage solutions for renewable power at the local, national and European level. At the same time PtG concepts will contribute in maintaining natural gas or SNG with an existing huge European infrastructure and an already advantageous and continuously improving environmental footprint as an important primary/secondary energy carrier, which is nowadays in doubt due to geo-political reasons/conflicts. So, STORE&GO will show that new PtG concepts can bridge the gaps associated with renewable energies and security of energy supply. STORE&GO will rise the acceptance in the public for renewable energy technologies in the demonstration of bridging technologies at three “living” best practice locations in Europe.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for '15th Symposium of the International Association for Cyanophyte Research' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Cyanobacteria (Cyanophyta, Cyanoprokariota, Oxiphotobacteria) constitute a phylogenetically coherent group of phototrophic bacteria with chlorophyll a. Cyanobacteria make a significant contribution to global primary productivity in oceans and lands and become locally dominant primary producers in many extreme environments such as hot and cold deserts, hot-springs and hipersaline environments. Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria are important features for the ecology of many eutrophic fresh and brackish bodies of water. The study of their metabolic activities, diversification, and utility as well as experimental and biotechnological models, is continually developing.The 15th IAC Symposium is intended to provide:a) a place for presentation and discussion of current research and recent advances on the field;b) to co-ordinate efforts and avoid repetitions;c) to exchange new techniques and experiences;d) to promote the leadership of European research in the field.To achieve these objectives, the organizers are bringing together the most representative groups to share their research among colleagues and among experts and young researchers. The IAC symposium builds on the success in attendance and quality of the previous ones and the value of scientists and students from the different fields, to continue the work on the diverse topics that are now at the edge of biological advances.15th Symposium contents are covering the most relevant aspects of the field:-What does mean species in cyanophyta/ cyanoprokaryota/ cyanobacteria?-Morphology and Structure;-Phenotypic and molecular diversity. Coincidence of both approaches;-Ecology and Ecophysiology;-Cyanobacteria-Dominated Communities;-Applied aspects.In addition workshops are intended on hands-on microscopy and demonstrations on molecul

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'MetaPos: a meta-service integrating diverse position determining technologies for LBS' (METAPOS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

acts as an intelligent brokerage for location based services, allowing them to select the appropriate position determining technologies (PDTs) and leverage them for the application at hand. With the arrival of Galileo/roll out of EGNOS the range of available positioning services is becoming more complex and difficult/risky for application developers to specify in advance. The solution is to offer a meta-positioning service that synchronously characterises the PDT and receives feedback on the real efficacy of the positioning from the user.Currently implemented PDT systems have distinctive profiles which can be defined by criteria such as accuracy, availability, integrity, coverage and cost; the level of service available from each PDT is dependent upon many factors. The PDT requirements of LBS, on the other hand, vary according the nature of the application: e.g. accuracy of a few metres for pedestrian navigation but only perhaps 10-50km for regional news updates. There is a need to manage this dynamic relationship between PDT and LBS, to minimise the user experience of service failure, and to ensure the most appropriate technology is used. A meta-positioning service developed for this purpose would have a number of tangible benefits:•integration of multiple PDTs increases the availability of LBS by offering alternatives in environments hostile to the primary PDT;•the service can report vital metadata (including accuracy) which avoid LBS reporting misleading information to the user;•a meta-positioning service can make display geographic intelligence, making decisions about the most appropriate PDT streams to use, based on, for example, minimising demands on resources (e.g.  bandwidth, processor or battery);•automated handling of alternative PDT removes the need for user

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'INCREASING MICROALGAE BIOMASS FEEDSTOCK BY VALORIZING WINE GASEOUS AND LIQUID RESIDUES'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Motivated by an urgent need to mitigate climate change and, particularly, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from food value chains, REDWine focuses on the utilization of biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the wine fermentation process for microalgae biomass production and valorisation. A powerful synergy across bio-based industries results in REDWine’s innovative circular business model, which allows wine manufacturers to efficiently treat their liquid and gaseous effluents while profitably diversifying their revenues through the valorisation of Chlorella biomass into multiple high-value ingredients. The REDWine concept will be realized through the establishment of an integrated ‘Living Lab’ demonstrating the technical and economic viability of a system for collection and storage of the off-gas and liquid effluents of a 20,000L wine fermenter and its adaptation to microalgae cultivation and energy efficient harvesting technologies, in order to use 90% of the CO2 collected, to produce biomass. REDWine will demonstrate a circular concept through the development of a simple biorefinery to be deployed in the winery which will yield sustainable and cost competitive ingredients for food formulations (protein and fatty acids), cosmetics (peptides, carotenoid rich oils and active polysaccharides), agriculture (carbohydrates as vine biostimulants) and wine production (proteins for wine clarification). The proposed REDWine solution is expected to reduce the GHG emissions of the entire wine production value chain by at least 31% while potentially generating over €15M in revenues and creating 45 new jobs for a 7ML size winery on a 3-year time horizon. REDWine is led by primary producers, the AVIPE wine producers’ association, in partnership with 11 other very committed entities, i

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Integrating the physics and social-psychology of crowd movement' (CrowdING).

assistant: **Concept**

Since the late 19th century scientists have tried to understand human movement in crowds. Although research has demystified crowds (they are neither swarms, homogeneous, nor irrational), coordinated movement in crowds remains a scientific puzzle. We know crowds have different repertoires (walking, forming lanes, queuing) and can rapidly transition between them. This behaviour is important for practical safety reasons and for fundamental understanding of mass behaviour. But current models do not describe rapid transitions well. This is because crowd behaviour is the result of an interplay between physical and socio-psychological factors. While the human body integrates the two effortlessly, science has yet to succeed.Our breakthrough is to integrate the physics and social psychology of crowds in one model. Conceptually, our groundbreaking innovation is to integrate the physical structure of the crowd (physical morphology) and the human experience of social structure (social morphology) into one unified morphology. Physics thus mimics the human crowd experience. Analytically, we use innovative exploratory research (o.a. involving phenomenological movement experts) with rigorous experiments (a.o. on very large crowds). In this research, innovative research methods and new techniques will integrate physical properties of the dynamic crowd (speed, flow, density, physical morphology) with social psychological properties (experiences, understandings, intentions). Organizationally, work packages are structured so that every empirical study and every model built is based on close collaboration between physicists and social psychologists.The CrowdING approach delivers a new generation of Social Agent Models (SAM) that transcend the SSH-Science boundary. The resulting model for be

user: Describe how 'Novel User-friendly Ultrasound Methods for Monitoring and Prevention of Cerebral Hypoxia' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

A lack of oxygen in the human brain (cerebral hypoxia) can result in permanent neuronal damage. Cerebral hypoxia is prevalent in half of all critical ill patients, but poor health impedes research in the intensive care unit. High-altitude exposure (>2500 m) is associated with a lower pressure of oxygen and offers a unique setting to investigate hypoxia-driven changes in otherwise healthy individuals. Unfortunately, at present, non-invasive methods to quantify surrogates of cerebral hypoxia are either laborious and require high-skilled personnel or have large inter-/intra-observer variability and no clear cut-off values. A user-friendly, unambiguous, and accessible diagnostic tool is urgently needed for the monitoring and decision-making in the field and at the beside. US-CHIMP (UltraSound Cerebral Hypoxia Imaging for Monitoring and Prevention) aims to provide a proof-of-concept by combining volumetric US to measure optic nerve sheath diameter as a surrogate of intracranial pressure with wave intensity analysis from the internal carotid and vertebral artery as a surrogate of changes in cerebral oxygen delivery. In three work packages US-CHIMP builds the theoretical groundwork through simulation (WP1/WP2) and the first practical proof-of-concept through translation in an experimental study (WP3) in which human volunteers are exposed to mild hypobaric hypoxia. WP3 is performed in the terraXcube, an extraordinary environmental chamber of the Institute of Mountain Emergency Medicine at Eurac Research. US-CHIMP will provide accurate information about key clinical syndromes. The data is directly relevant to the management of conditions related to high-altitude hypoxia. Besides, many clinical conditions such as intracranial haemorrhage, brain injury and stroke present with elev
