user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Public debt, default risk and the European monetary union' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

Research objectives and content  The purpose of the research is to investigate the possibility of defaulting on public debt. The issue is particularly relevant for those countries which have to deal with a very large public debt and, at the same time, are aiming to join EMU. I intend to analyse how the picture changes when one moves from a situation in which both inflation and default are available instruments of debt reduction to a situation in which inflation is no longer available.  To this end, I will take a 'political economy' approach in which an optimising policymaker has to finance a stochastic flow of public spending. The introduction of such a source of uncertainty in the government budget constraint allows me to determine default probability endogenously. A calibration exercise of the theoretical model, involving European countries, is also planned.  Finally the theoretical work will be supported by investigation of the nature of the risk premia incorporated in government bonds. The aim is to study the empirical relationship between risk premia and fiscal variables. Financial swap data will be used to measure the size of default risk on government bonds Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact)  The opportunity of a PhD programme at the University of Warwick is a valuable experience of research work, giving me training dealing with theoretical and empirical issues and using advanced research techniques. I consider this experience a key step in acquiring the skills required for a future research career. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22)  The research is of great relevance for the banking industry, in particular when financial institutions hold a significant amount of government debt in their portfolios.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Implementation and application of intrinsic reaction coordinate methods based on dft-schemes for the investigation of metalorganic reaction mechanism', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The increasing employment of transition metal containing compounds in the industrial production (i. e. Ziegler-Natta Polymerisation) or in medicine (i. e. cis-platina anti-tumor agents) shows the need of investigation of the underlying mechanism of metalorganic reactions. The understanding of these reactions at the microscopic level requires calculations with the computationally most sophisticated methods. While traditional ab initio schemes are too expensive, Density-Functional-Theory (DFT) based schemes promise to give reliable results. The Amsterdam-Density-Functional program is the only pure DFT code developed in Europe. The parallel version of this code, currently developed with the support of the EC through the Europort 2 project within the ESPRIT- III framework, opens the way to calculate efficiently the large number of data required in a realistic period of time. We now want to use these possibilities to implement new features and to improve the performance of the calculations. The existing knowledge of information technologies and the theoretical background of density functionals in the workgroup of Prof. Baerends form together with the available hardware an in Europe unique platform to reach the aspired goals.

user: Explain how 'Active Inference and the Circuits of Precision and Prediction' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The human brain exhibits remarkable cognitive abilities, such as imagery, attention and mental simulation, which along with perception reflect our capacity to infer properties of the world. Perceptual inference involves a statistical hierarchical synthesis of information from the senses with prior knowledge of the world. There is empirical evidence in favour of Predictive Processing where functional interaction of descending pathways carrying top-down prediction and precision signals interaction with the ascending pathways to generative prediction errors. PREDICTION will develop a mechanistic and computational understanding of the hierarchical processing underlying inference in vision-related human brain areas and will establish how feedback connections enable generative cognitive functions. Unravelling the neural mechanisms of high-level visual cognitive functions requires novel ways of thinking about biological information processing and an integrated effort to measure and model cognitive functions at multiple brain scales. PREDICTON accomplishes this by integrating concepts and advanced methods from multiple disciplines: 1) Molecular biology to characterise projection cell-types. 2) Psychophysics and sub-millimetre ultra-high-field functional imaging of cortical layers and columns in the human brain, 3) Precision viral tracing to investigate the anatomical origins and targets of generative networks in non-human primates (NHP), 4) Spatio-temporal controlled activation of genetically identified feedback pathways with optogenetics together in multi-areal laminar recordings in NHPs, 4) Biologically realistic multi-scale computational modelling. PREDICTION will describe the functional circuits supporting hierarchical processing and their role in active vision. This will t

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Novel MESO-SUPERstructured solar CELLS with enhanced performance and stability' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The present proposal focuses on the advanced research training of Dr. T. Stergiopoulos on a novel type of 3rd generation solar cells, promising low cost, ease of fabrication and sustainability, called “Meso-superstructured solar cells” (MSSCs).MSSCs were very recently invented by Dr. Snaith in Oxford, and their operation stands between inorganic−organic heterojunction and standard solid-state sensitized-solar cells; the novel and revolutionary concept is that alumina replace titania, acting as a meso-scale scaffold upon which the device is structured and a perovskite is responsible for both visible light absorption and efficient electron conduction. The efficiencies of MSSCs lie at the moment at 10.9 %, limited by the low mobility of the organic hole transport material (spirobifluorene) used to regenerate the perovskite.The proposed research activities aim to make a big step beyond state-of-the-art, realising viable lab-scale devices with efficiencies higher than those of DSCs (>12.4 %) by incorporating fast liquid redox electrolytes in lieu of the low hole mobility spirobifluorene. The expected research results could (i) lead closer towards the commercialization of this new technology, (iii) contribute to the Europe’s continuing research for “clean and efficient energy”, creating reliable “low carbon” solar electricity, and (iv) promote the Excellence of the European Research Area, by building the strongest Photovoltaic research community in the field of 3rd generation solar cells.The fellow will get an interdisciplinary training on the fabrication and fundamentals of this new class of solar cells, also gaining research expertise in state-of-the-art techniques, such as the Photoinduced Absorption Spectroscopy, and acquire complementary/diversifying skills (technology t

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Births, mothers and babies: prehistoric fertility in the Balkans between 10000 – 5000 BC' (BIRTH) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The BIRTH project will investigate the key biological and cultural mechanisms affecting fertility rates resulting the Neolithic Demogaphic Transition, the major demographic shift in human evolution. We integrate skeletal markers with micro-nutritional and macro-scaled cultural effects on fertility rates during the Early-Middle Holocene (10000-5000 BC) in the Central Balkans. Human, animal and plant remains, will be analysed using methods from bioarchaeological, forensic, chemical sciences in order to: 1) Investigate variability in the pattern of birth rates (number of pregnancies, interval(s) between them and the duration of the reproductive period) through histological analysis of irregularities in tooth cementum of women; 2) Determine paleoobstetric and neonatal body characteristics, health status and nutrition through analysis of skeletal remains; 3) Determine micronutritional changes during the Early-Middle Holocene through trace element (Zn, Ca and Fe) analysis; 4) Investigate the micro and macronutritional value of prehistoric foodstuffs, through an analysis of animal and plant remains and to compare the nutritional intake in relation to health and fertility; 5) Establish a chronology of the NDT in the Balkans by summed radiocarbon probability distributions; 6) Explore the possible role of culture in driving fertility increases, through analysis of community attitudes to birthing trough investigation of neonate graves and artifact connected to the birthing process. Given that the issues of health and fertility are of utmost importance in the present as they were in the past, the BIRTH project offers new understanding of biocultural mechanisms which led to fertility increase and novel approaches to ancient skeletal heritage, and emphasizes their great potential for

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Discretization and adaptive approximation of fully nonlinear equations' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) arise in many applications ranging from physics to economy. They are different from PDEs in mechanics, and the PDE theory relies on the generalized solution concept of so-called viscosity solutions. Monotone finite difference methods (FDM) are provably convergent for approximating viscosity solutions, but are restricted to regular meshes and low-order approximations, thus having limitations in resolving realistic geometries or dealing with local mesh refinement. As viscosity solutions are lacking smoothness properties in general, adaptive approximations are desirable. In contrast to FDM, finite element methods (FEM) offer the possibility of high-order approximations with flexibility in adaptive and automatic mesh design. However, provably convergent FEM formulations for viscosity solutions to nonvariational problems are as yet unknown.With a background in the numerical analysis of PDEs, especially the theory of FEM and adaptive algorithms, DAFNE aims at laying the theoretical and practical foundation for the application of FEM and automatic mesh-refinement algorithms to fully nonlinear equations. The focus is on the large class of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. They originated from stochastic control problems, but more generally comprise many classical and relevant equations like Pucci's equation or the Monge-Ampère equationwith applications in finance, optimal transport, physics, and geometry.The novel approach is to estimate local regularity properties through the control variable in the HJB formulation. This (a) gives rise to new regularization strategies and (b) indicates where the mesh needs to be refined. Both achievements are key to the design of a new FEM formulation.The project is at the frontiers o

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR INTEGRATION OF ENGINEERING AND THINGS'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Systems Engineering has impact on VERY large markets, e.g., electronics embedded in products such as automobiles has a market size 100x the size of the desktop market. Improving its efficiency and competitiveness can be of fundamental importance for the European industry as the functional and non functional requirements on future generation products become gradually unmanageable due to their ever increasing complexity.<br/>Industries such as Telco service providers, Retail and Financial Services exploit the Internet in new and creative ways that dramatically increase efficiency and revenues. The system engineering industry has not been able to unleash this potential in the design and test of its products. In this project we propose to leverage the concept of Internet of Things, establishing the foundation for the Internet of System Engineering. Based on an Internet-like service infrastructure the SPRINT Networked Environment will provide the virtual blending via Internet of all things" pertaining to a complex system: sensors, actuators, processing elements, system design tools and models and design teams that are in general spread over different geographical locations. The platform will include novel early verification approaches that involve virtual integration of mathematical models of components to alleviate the problem of late error discovery while supporting the entire cycle of product development: design, integration, verification and deployment. This research will open a new vista on the use of Internet of Things that may change radically the way in which systems are designed and tested."

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Novel technology for HIgh-PERformance piezoelectric Actuators', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Piezoelectric multilayer actuators performance and reliability needs to be improved to meet the growing demand from end-users with many different types of applications. The high production costs and problems related to obtaining reliable components explain that the utilization of piezo actuators up to now is far from having reached its full potential. Noliac and its partners for the IP are proposing a radical innovation in the piezoelectricity field, based on an enhanced understanding of materials degradation. This will greatly improve the properties of long actuators, and thereby allow end-users to use them for new industrial applications. The actuators shall be able to sustain extreme conditions, including high temperature, humid environment, and high pressure and will provide extreme long-term reliability.  The activities are divided in 4 work areas: • Research in materials degradation and the development of ceramics, which offer better resistance to crack initiation and propagation and are less sensitive to extreme conditions (WP2-WP4). • Two parallel approaches are followed to improve the interdigitated electrode technology for deposition ultra-narrow electrode paths in the laminated piezo materials (WP5-WP6). • The development of optimized final components will be insured by the combination of the new piezoelectric materials with the new electrode technology (WP7). • Industrial applications for the automotive-, production- and wind power industries. These applications require large size piezoceramic actuators, which can be produced efficiently at low cost with high manufacturing yield (WP8-WP11).  The identification of the new piezoelectric actuators is expected to provide a radical innovation in terms of new possible applications in major industrial markets world

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Novel dual-fuel system for modernisation of air-polluting diesel locomotives to clean and efficient gas operation'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Diesel exhaust contains significant levels of small particles, known as fine particulate matter (PM) and is the largest source of particulate emissions in transport. In spite of the environmental benefit that rail carries over other modes of transport, over 70% of all the world’s railway locomotives are powered by diesel engines, consuming more than 34 billion litres of diesel fuel annually. To combat the problem of diesel locomotive emissions, the European Union has set stricter limits on the exhaust emissions of new locomotives. Stricter limits have caused a steep rise in the cost of purchasing compliant engines. The higher costs have made it much more difficult for rail operators to modernise their locomotive fleets. With a 45-year average operational lifespan, Europe has now reached the stage where 77% of its diesel locomotives are 30 years or older. The inefficiency of the engines in long service life vehicles, coupled with diesel prices, now make fuel costs a major problem for rail operators worldwide. Alternatives in clean and efficient fuel will allow operators to remain economically competitive.DiGas SIA is a pioneer in dual-fuel systems for diesel engines. We have developed NYSMART, a proprietary patented dual-fuel technology tailored for modernization of air-polluting diesel locomotives to clean and efficient operation. Due to its modular form, NYSMART is able to be quickly and simply installed onto any diesel engine type. Once installed, our advanced intelligent engine management system results in 30% reduction in fuel costs, delivering rapid payback for the customer; provides torque & performance similar to that of a diesel engine; and delivers PM and NOx emissions reductions.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Rational design of formatted catabolic segments for engineering superior bacterial biocatalysts for degradation of chloro- and nitroaromatics' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The resistance of a variety of pollutants to biodegradation is caused by molecular bottlenecks such as incomplete pathways leading to the formation of dead-end or even toxic metabolites, inappropriate regulation of catabolic pathways or poor transformation rates. However, methods are now available for the construction of new and more effective pathways in order to obtain superior biocatalysts. The purpose of this project is to identify and, eventually, to remove those biological bottlenecks that prevents biodegradation of recalcitrant pollutants and will focus on non-polar chloro- nitro and methyl-substituted benzenes and their metabolites. An adequate library of genes and enzymes appropriate for transformation will be isolated and characterised in detail. The development of a genetic toolbox for stable and predictable integration of isolated genes into selected host bacteria together with optimization of the performance of the isolated genetic elements will allow a rational assembly of these elements to create superior metabolic pathways.This will lead to microorganisms with increased catalytic potential and efficiency for degradation of xenobiotics, and a better survival in environmental settings. The objectives of this project are (I) the detail ed genetic and biochemical analysis of catabolic elements as tools for the development of biocatalysts for the degradation of recalcitrant compounds, (2) optimization of the effectiveness of catabolic segments by changes in substrate specificity of critical pathway enzymes, the reconstruction of regulatory circuits and the development of specific tools for the stable assembly of optimised segments in appropriate hosts and (3) the development of new predictable bacterial strains able to mineralise previously recalcitrant pollu
