user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Energy-efficient Artificial Synapses based on Innovative Ferroelectric Transistors' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The exponential growth of demand for data processing requires increasingly large computational resources and, consequently, prohibitively high energy consumption. To sustain this evolution, a paradigm switch from conventional computing architectures to data-centric platforms is needed. Neuromorphic computing aims at reaching this goal by realizing brain-inspired circuits based on artificial neurons and synapses, which are extremely energy efficient. The objective of this project is to explore a novel type of artificial synapse to be employed in neuromorphic chips. Among the technological options for solid state synapses, memories based on ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFET) are considered very promising due to their energy efficiency and to their compatibility with a Back-End-Of-Line implementation and thus a 3D integration. A FeFET is a field-effect transistors that employs a ferroelectric (FE) material as gate oxide. FE materials have a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by the application of an electric field, and in conventional FeFETs this is used to modulate the threshold voltage and thus resistance in the channel region. This project will address an alternative physical mechanism to obtain a synaptic behavior in FeFET, namely a polarization-induced tuning of the resistance at source/drain Schottky contacts. In the Ferroelectric Schottky barrier FETs (Fe-SBFETs), the FE material overlaps the Schottky contact region, hence in this region the FE material is placed between two metals resulting in an effective and low voltage ferroelectric switching. For this reason, Fe-SBFETs are expected to operate as low energy synaptic devices. In this project, Fe-SBFETs will be extensively studied and modeled, by means of TCAD simulations. A design-

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Electronic scanning MIMO Radar for railway level crossing obstruction detection  alerting'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The overall project objective is to develop an innovative low cost, low maintenance, high performance, high reliability electronic scanning radar sensor system (ES24) for level crossing obstacle detection, capable of detecting objects ranging from large vehicles to bicycles & people, including people lying down. Key features are, only a single sensor is needed to identify the wide range of object sizes, the sensor has no rotating parts & operates in all weathers.ES24 will enable track operators to monitor whether the track is clear or an object has been detected, significantly improving safety for both train passengers & crossing users.More than 2,000 significant accidents occur each year on EU member states’ railways. Accounted economic costs are as high as €1.7bn. In 2013, 25% of all significant railway accidents (8% involving pedestrians, 17% vehicles) occurred at level crossings (LC’s). LC safety a key focus area across EU & global rail networks. The European Rail Agency  report 573 significant LC accidents occurred in the EU in 2012, resulting in 373 deaths & 336 serious injuries. Each significant LC accident is estimated to cost €1.7m, i.e. €974m for 2012. LC accidents have damaging impact on the key rail transport strengths: safety, reliability & speed.Current object detection (LCOD) systems are expensive, have limited capability in terms of the size of object detected, need combined laser & radar sensor solutions to meet operator needs & generally have rotating parts requiring on-going maintenance. There are currently about 120 000 LCs in the EU. Reducing system cost & improving the performance dramatically increases the addressable LCOD market.The Phase 1 project will deliver a detailed report providing a costed technical programme and detailed exploitation pla

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Winclim'.

assistant: **Objectives**

At high northern latitudes extreme winter cold, or rapid fluctuations of temperatures above and below freezing, can cause damage and death of perennial agricultural/silvicultural crops, and plants within unmanaged ('natural') ecosystems. Winter damage can also operate indirectly via microbial pathogens and/or insect pests, and can have knock-on effects on vertebrate herbivores. The prospect of anthropogenic climate change - with warming of greater magnitude during the winter than the summer, and increased frequency and intensity of climatic extremes - has increased the focus on the effects of variation in winter climate. A seminar held in Iceland in May 2000 highlighted:i) The differences between research approaches used for managed and natural systems, ii) The very limited exchange of information between the research communities. Basically, agricultural and forestry scientists have an in-depth knowledge of the genetic, physiological, biochemical and phenological mechanisms by which crop monocultures respond to climate change.In contrast, researchers on natural systems have greater understanding of the phenology, growth and reproduction of a much wider range of plant species under field conditions, but relatively little understanding of the detailed mechanisms controlling responses. Thus the two research communities have markedly different, but complementary, expertise.Euro Workshop objectives & format: The workshop is designed to bring together researchers from managed and natural systems to: - Summarise/compare understanding of the direct and indirect mechanisms/processes of winter damage in managed and natural systems in northern regions; - Relate this understanding to assessment of system and regional variations in the potential responses to winter climate change; -

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Embedding Sparse Combinatorial Structures using Sublinear Expanders' (ESCSSE).

assistant: **Concept**

Expanders are highly connected sparse graphs with certain expansion properties. The theory of expanders has enjoyed surprising growth in the past several decades, partial due to its close interplay with other areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science, including analysis, number theory, probability, complexity theory and design of robust networks. This proposed research is highly intra-disciplinary, concerning a variant called sublinear expanders. This notion is essential in the recent resolutions of several long-standing conjectures. The goal of this proposal is to develop general framework using sublinear expanders for embedding problems concerning sparse combinatorial structures that arise naturally in extremal graph theory, geometry and topology.The supervisor Professor Szabó is a world renowned expert in combinatorics, working on problems at the interface of algebra, graph theory, probability, and topology. His expertise on expander graphs and cycle embeddings will play a key role in the proposed project. He is also experienced in advising junior researchers, having advised 4 post-doctoral researchers and 13 PhD students.Dr. Liu obtained his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in December 2015. He then moved to the University of Warwick as a post-doctoral researcher. In September 2016, he was awarded by the Leverhulme Trust an Early Career Fellowship, a prestigious award for young researchers in the UK. He has published 21 papers, most of which appeared in journals of international repute. His work has established novel connections between extremal combinatorics and additive number theory. This proposed project will help Liu further improve his skills on teaching, research and supervising to pursue an academic career.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Innovative solutions to reduce AQUAculture emissions and valorize sludge through PHOsphorus and NItrogen eXtraction' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Aquaculture faces a dilemma. Population growth, food resource constraints and increasing recognition of environmental challenges related to food production position aquaculture as a key component of a healthy diet and sustainable food source. As a result, aquaculture is the fastest growing food industry in the world - a trend that is expected to continue for years to come. However, its growth presents a series of environmental challenges including Nitrogen and Phosphorus (N+P) emissions from sludge (and consequential eutrophication of our water bodies), significant waste streams, and unsustainable feed sources. Each of these challenges are exacerbated by the fact that countries such as Norway, which produces more aquaculture products than the EU combined, aims to grow its sector by five times in the next 25 years. Important regulation that govern N+P emissions therefore limit production growth. This dilemma presents a fantastic opportunity for AQUAPHOENIX. We will demonstrate a novel SludgeCollect infrastructure in seven regional DEMO sites in Norway and Finland, which are incorporated into existing open pen aquaculture farms. Validation of SludgeCollect, together with significant political will backing our project, will pave the way for our ability to simultaneously increase aquaculture production while reducing N+P emissions to promote healthy seas. What's more, we will test and develop a variety of valorisation pathways that will commodify sludge as a circular resource for producing renewable energy, sustainable agriculture fertiliser, and novel food and feed ingredients. The AQUAPHOENIX consortium recognises its ability to respond to this opportunity and is partnering with leading aquaculture associations and networks to act as a global forerunner to lead change on

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Anticipatory Learning for Reliable Phishing Prevention'.

assistant: **Innovation**

One of the most harmful forms of email spam is phishing. Criminals are trying to convince unsuspecting online customers to surrender passwords, account numbers, social security numbers or other personal information. To this end they use spoofed messages which are masqueraded as coming from reputable online businesses such as financial institutions. Phishing has increased enormously over the last months and is a serious threat to global security and economy. The main goal of AntiPhish is to develop anticipatory anti-phishing technologies that help to protect and secure the global email communication infrastructure. With this goal AntiPhish targets exactly strategic objective 2.4.3 which aims at forming scientific, technical and industrial excellence ensuring security, privacy, and trust in complex communication networks and information infrastructures.  <br/><br/>The scientific focus of the project is on trainable and adaptive filters that are not only able to identify variations of previous phishing messages, but are capable to anticipate new forms of phishing attacks. Such technology does not exist yet, but would greatly improve all existing methods used in spam and phishing filters. AntiPhish aims at developing filters with unprecedented accuracy which are able to block more than 90% of phishing without blocking more than one legitimate email in a million.  <br/><br/>Our consortium comprises reputable research institutions, world leading companies in commercial spam filtering technologies, and a major internet service provider. The research will be driven by the hands-on expertise of our industrial participants, who have long experience with spam fighting on a global scale and will provide huge amounts of real world training data.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Towards a New Frontier in Autophagy Inhibition: The Development of a Novel Class of Chemical Probes and Identification of Their Associated Biological Target' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

This action aims to discover a novel class of autophagy inhibitors and newly develop chemical probes that can identify theirprotein targets and dissect their biological mode of action. Autophagy dysregulation is intrinsically linked with majorEuropean healthcare challenges, including cancer. The identification of new classes of druggable autophagic proteins willhave broad implications for the development of novel and more effective cancer therapeutics. To address the aims of thisaction, this proposal seeks support to initiate a pioneering and holistic chemical biology programme, which combines thenewest technologies in synthetic chemistry and cell biology. Phenotypic investigations in the host lab recently identified newinhibitors of autophagy based on a novel scaffold, which modulates autophagy through an exciting but unknown pathway. Inthis action the use of a newly introduced sp2-sp3 cross-coupling reaction will allow systematic variation of the scaffold,exploration of its structure-activity relationship, and improvement of the potency of these inhibitors to facilitate thepreparation of high-quality chemical probes. A focused compound collection (>100 compounds) will be prepared andinvestigated in cell-based assays, with the aim of establishing a broad, potent and selective class of inhibitors. The inhibitorymode of action will then be rationalised through identification, validation and engagement of the associated biological targetsusing further cell-based investigations and biophysical assays. Chemical probes will be generated from the most activeinhibitors and used to identify and interrogate the druggability of a novel protein target with potentially huge significance forbiomedical science.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'EFFICIENT GAS TURBINE GENERATOR', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Generators of less than 100 kW represent a very important market. They are used as standby or as main electricity generators and are mainly installed in buildings in highly populated areas such as hospitals, work places etc. Currently these generators are driven by diesel engines and it is well known that the exhaust gases do not meet pollution standards. This situation could get even worse in the future.The GETAG project aimed to build a generator of less than 100 kW which would not be driven by a diesel motor but by a compact and light, non polluting gas turbine. It used a proven design which is easy to build, to run and to maintain. This generator was tested in real conditions at three typical sites based in three countries of the EU. The GETAG consortium which will develop this technology is composed of six partners, coming from 5 different countries (F, I, UK, E, GR).There are a number of potential benefits to Europe from this technology:- a reduction in the atmospheric pollution in urban environments of up to 10 times less than with diesel engines while respecting European norms, both current and future.- potential for a very important world-wide market with the equipment being produced in Europe, thus creating jobs and furthering technological development.- the GETAG Technology is well adapted for electricity generation of the future.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Molecular determinants of sodium transport: role of a new aldosterone induced gene'.

assistant: **Concept**

The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) plays a major role in the homeostasis of extracellular Na+ and consequently of blood volume and pressure. Its importance is underlined by its genetic linkage to two renal diseases, pseudohypoaldosteronism type I, and of Li ddle¿s syndrome, which are both caused by mutations in the genes encoding ENaC. ENaC, which facilitates entry of Na+ into the cell, is the rate-limiting step of Na+ reabsorption. It is highly regulated by a variety of factors, including aldosterone and vas opressin, but the molecular mechanisms of their action are still poorly understood. Aldosterone induces and/or represses a number of genes, which consequently lead to the stimulation of transepithelial transport. We have identified a novel protein, NDRG2 ( N-myc Downstream Regulated Gene 2) whose expression is very early stimulated by aldosterone, both in established cell lines, and in the kidney and colon of rats. NDRG2 belongs to a family of genes of unknown function, which is conserved in plants, inverteb rates and mammals, suggesting important functions. Its identity with MESK2, a gene recently identified in Drosophila, suggests that it may be involved in the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway. Our preliminary data suggest that aldosterone does influence Ras activ ity, and co-expression of NDRG2 with ENaC into Xenopus laevis oocytes elevates ENaC activity as compared to control oocytes. My project will be focussed on the analysis of NDRG2 function, in cell cultures, and in vivo by transgenesis. We will use condition al systems (tet inducible and HoxB7 promotor kidney-targeting in mice, Tamoxifen-sensitive Cre-Lox in cells) to evaluate the consequences of NDRG2 overexpression on renal collecting duct differentiation, polarity and sodium transport capacities.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Low thermal budget processing for continuous manufacturing of silicon solar cells' (LOWTHERMCELLS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Objectives In order to reach thermal cost reduction as well as environmental safety, new approaches are necessary in the silicon solar cells industry. The aim of the present project is to investigate a new continuous manufacturing line based on low thermal budget processing steps relying on an optical energy transfer to the sample. The general goal of the LOWTHERMCELLS project, carried out by five laboratories (CNRS-PHASE, FhG-ISE, IMEC, ENEA and INSA) in association with industrial companies (AST, ASE and SOLTECH), is the replacement of all conventional thermal processing steps in solar cell manufacturing by Rapid Thermal (RT) steps using lamp furnaces. The main objective is a reduction of the total number of steps. In particular, for homogeneous emitter solar cells, the goal is to perform an entirely passive 'npp+ structure in a single thermal cycle and to suppress masking and photolithographic steps for selective emitters. Technical Approach This project concerns, for three of the five tasks, the development of the cell structure. Rapid thermal diffusion is used for a simultaneous formation of the emitter and back surface field (BSF) from different doped sources such as glasses, SiO2 or polysilicon layers deposited by spin-on, screen-printing or CVD processes. For surface passivation, rapid thermal oxidation, PE-CVD and doped or un-doped glass deposition are to be investigated together with a rapid thermal sintering of screen printed contacts. For selective emitter solar cells, an additional laser treatment is used to over-dope the regions under the contacts and to perform the grooving of buried contacts. The two other tasks concern the characterisation and production of the solar cells as well as the conceptual design and evaluation of the process by the industrial
