user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'MULTI-FACETED ASSESSMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF WELDED STRUCTURAL GREEN STEEL PLATES FOR USE IN EUROPEAN SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The main objective of the WeldGreenPlate proposal is to define the conditions for safe use of green structural steels, if possible without the use of critical strategic elements, for European infrastructures made of medium strength (S355) to ultra-high strength (S960) steels. To achieve this goal, the most critical locations in these structures will be investigated: the welded joints and in particular the HAZ. Future green steels will be manufactured using an increased amount of scrap, likely of lower quality and containing higher concentrations of residual elements (Cu, Ni, Cr, Mo, Sn, As, Sb, Pb, Zn, Bi and Co). This will modify the chemical composition of the steel grades and thus the response of the material to thermal cycles, such as imposed by welding. The properties of welded joints will therefore be changed, making it necessary to assess these changes and remedy them, if required. The proposal will investigate modified alloying concepts for the safe application of clean steel in downstream processing and fabrication. It is planned to investigate the application of multiple welding repairs to allow re-use of fabricated components and give the opportunity to have steel solutions with improved CO2 emissions through re-use of fabricated components.The improved or non-degraded weldability will allow to develop new clean steel grades with improved in-use properties, particularly strength and toughness in the welded conditions, through application of state-of-the-art techniques: machine learning, thermodynamic simulations, FEM of microstructural behaviour, supported by advanced analytical techniques. The latest items are innovative tools that will be available to future clean steel grades development. It is in the scope of the project to find the requirements for high-

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Adaptation-oriented Seamless Predictions of European ClimaTe' (ASPECT) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

ASPECT aims for the setup and demonstration of a seamless climate information (SCI) system with a time horizon up to 30yr, accompanied by underpinning research and utilisation of climate information for sectoral applications (‘middle-ground level’1). The goal is to improve existing climate prediction systems and merge their outputs across timescales together with climate projections to unify a SCI as a standard for sectoral decision-making. The focus will be on European climate information but we will also look more widely where there is a policy interest (e.g., disaster preparedness) and in regions of European interest. We will maintain a strong link into an exploit learning from the WCRP lighthouse activities on explaining and predicting earth system change. To provide a bandwidth diversity  of information the SCI system will be based on multi-model climate forecasts, and will build on learning from projects such as EUCP. It will align with new activities on Digital Twins within Europe, including DestinE. The SCI will combine physical science aspects with those from other disciplines to ensure the information is robust, reliable and relevant for a range of user driven decision cases. The information package will incorporate baseline forecasts and projections (plus uncertainty), but also new frontiers will be explored (e.g., extremes which are of socioeconomic high-level interest).  To be successful the research will encompass: Understanding and attribution of various processes along the timescales (such as exploring signal-to-noise ratio) and their impact on predictability, new ways of initialisation of the prediction systems, merging predictions with projections, provision of regional SCI for Europe by downscaling (statistical methods, AI) and HighRes models (includi

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Experimental constraints on magma flow conditions during highly-explosive basaltic eruptions' (BEACON).

assistant: **Concept**

Basaltic eruptions are commonly regarded as the weakest form of explosive volcanism, as the low viscosity of the magma allows a large fraction of primary gas phases to escape quietly. Nevertheless, basaltic eruptions of highly-explosive nature have occurred in historic times or the near past (e.g. Etna 2001, 2002-03; Stromboli 2003, 2007) and brought harm to populations and infrastructures. These occurrences draw attention on poorly-defined volcanic processes, which may cause a shift of the eruption style of basaltic volcanoes into explosive behaviours proper of their silicic counterpart. Observed rapid fluctuations in the eruptive behaviour of basaltic volcanoes suggest that the eruption style is modulated by variable two-phase flow (melt-bubbles) conditions and the mechanism by which the magma fragments. What governs the transition from intermittent (Hawaiian and Strombolian) eruptions to more violent and possibly sustained (sub-Plinian and Plinian) activity remains largely uncertain. Textural observations of tephra suggest that increased viscosity and brittle fragmentation of microlite-rich magma may be crucial for such transition. To define the constitutional conditions for violent basaltic explosive activity, we will experimentally investigate the influence of rheological changes in the rising magma on conduit flow, fragmentation, and, ultimately, the eruptive style. The fragmentation mechanism of the magma will be investigated on the base of its rheological behaviour modelled as a non-Newtonian multiphase suspension (melt-bubbles-crystals). This will be achieved through a two-fold approach: 1) state-of-the-art rheological characterization and 2) rapid decompression (shock-tube) experiments on both analogues materials and natural samples.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Development of an expansion valve to reduce energy consumption of cold vending machines and small commercial refrigeration systems' (EXPAND) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The European Vending Association (EVA) is composed of 20 national associations, who represent Europe's SME industry of machine and component manufacturers, suppliers of commodities (ingredients,  confectionery, soft drinks) and operators.  Our chilled vending sector is heavily based on older HFC refrigerant technology.  In contrast Japan has embraced natural refrigerants and is the leading manufacturer of CO2 and HC vending machines. As a result, our industry needs to innovate and develop advanced components and systems, to remain competitive and provide cost effective, energy efficient products. Small refrigeration systems as used in vending machines use capillaries as the expansion device, however they do not enable optimal operation over the range of refrigeration loads. Away from design point load, coefficient of performance drops due to sub-optimal filling of the evaporator. More advanced control systems may be introduced by replacing the capiliary with an expansion valve, however for refrigeration systems in the 50-250W capacity they are challenging to manufacture cost effectively, due to small orifice sizes. As a result the Expand project will develop a low cost expansion device for HC and CO2 refrigerants together with a control system that  will enable efficient modulation of refrigeration system capacity in relation to load.  This will enable cumulative energy consumption savings of 25% for the cooler in relation to present HFC systems, thus regaining a technological lead for the European vending industry.  In order to mitigate the need for small orifices we will use fluid flow control concepts that have been developed for fuel injection systems for aerospace and automotive application.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Improvement of hip fracture prediction in osteoporotic subjects by low-dose volumetric QCT assessment and finite element analysis of the proximal femur' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective is to improve hip fracture prediction in osteoporotic patients, as compared to the conventional dual X-ray absorptiornetry (DXA). Hip fractures in elderly reduce quality of life and increase morbidity and mortality. Local bone mineral density, cortical thickness and volumes, and geometrical parameters will be determined volumetrically by spiral quantitative computed tomography (QCT) using an optimised low-dose acquisition protocol. The parameters will be correlated with bone strength and fracture load in mechanical tests. Hip fracture discrimination will be investigated in 120 elderly females. Finite element models based on the QCT scans will be generated to optimise individual fracture prediction. Standardization and quality assurance will be ensured by a dedicated software and an anthropomorphic hip-phantom. Results will allow improve targeting of preventive treatments in selected patients with potentially high fracture risk.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Ceramic based coatings as solution for several surface unsolved problems on mould industry' (1998-2002), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

There is a great potential interest in the molding industry regarding production of moulds for low and mid series of plastic products. Actually, alloy steel moulds are used for the fabrication of low, mid and high series products. For mid and low series steel moulds are very expensive and they have excessive mechanical strength. Light alloys are now used with success in the production of prototypes for mould design optimization, that are adequate only for very short series, but they can be an interesting solution for low and mid series, if the surface resistance is improved. Ceramic hard coatings can be a solution for this problem. However, great difficulties related to the important mismatches between the mechanical and thermal properties of the Al alloys and the hard ceramic coatings lead to in service failure. In this project, this problem can be overcome by optimizing the system based in Ti-Al, with variable nitrogen contents, owing to the fact that Ti-Al (N) has high hardness and a much higher thermal expansion coefficient that traditional hard coatings which can significantly decrease the thermal stresses during the deposition. New opportunities will be created for all

user: Describe how 'LIFEBOTS Exchange - creating a new reality of care and welfare through the inclusion of social robots.' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The project aims enhancing cross-sector, international and interdisciplinary collaboration in the area of social robotics technology for care. Are robots ready for society, and is society ready for robots? How can social robots can be included in people’s lives? Robots are increasingly being used in the healthcare sector as a potential solution to the current and future challenges faced by the healthcare sector.  Due to the global population ageing, by 2035 the world is projected to lack 12.9 million healthcare professionals (WHO: 2013). Social robots may benefit the quality life and wellbeing of patients, their families and healthcare professionals. Evidence and much of the needed knowledge are still lacking. Strong interdisciplinarity and cross-sectorial research and innovation activity is needed. A knowledge hub for social robotics will be created with a threefold aim: (1) To enhance the competencies of involved staff members, refining and focusing their skills; (2) To build a tri-sectoral network involving academia, industry and users of technology, and (3) to create an enduring network that will outlive the grant funding. The core of the project includes some of the strongest actors in international research, SMEs and user organisations, focusing on three  activity lines: technological, sociological, care-and-welfare. To be able to understand the impact of introducing social robots in care, the three areas that will be affected by this technical evolution will be researched: (1) care provided as medical practice; this is the care given to patients in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres and other medical facilities. (2) residential care - this area refers to all care institutions accepting patient/clients as residents: elderly homes, nursing homes, special ne

user: Explain how 'Regulation of hepatic CD1d-restricted antigen presentation and Natural Killer T cell homeostasis by the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Natural Killer T (NKT) cells are unconventional T cells which recognize lipid antigens presented by the atypical MHC class I molecule CD1d. While NKT cells are abundant in the human and murine liver and play important roles in liver diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis, little is know about their regulation. The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein which catalyzes lipid transfer onto Apolipoprotein B and assists in the assembly of chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. In addition, MTP can transfer phospholipids onto CD1d and regulate CD1d antigen presentation and NKT cell activation thus establishing a link between metabolism and immune function.Here, I propose to investigate the regulation of hepatic CD1d-restricted lipid antigen presentation by MTP and its role in NKT cell activation and homeostasis in the liver. Using two unique mouse models that allow for tissue-specific deletion of MTP in hepatocytes and tracking of NKT cells via green fluorescent protein, I will study the regulation of CD1d biosynthesis, stability, and antigen presentation by hepatocyte MTP. In addition, I propose to investigate NKT cell activation and homeostasis in mice with hepatocyte-specific MTP deletion.These studies will provide, for the first time, insight into the regulation of lipid antigen presentation by hepatocytes and will provide the basis for therapeutic targeting of MTP and CD1d in NKT cell-mediated liver diseases. In addition, these studies will significantly extend our knowledge about the mechanisms of cross-regulation of metabolic and immune pathways.The Marie Curie International Reintegration Grant will provide essential funding for this project and will ensure my successful scienti

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Early and late health risks to normal/healthy tissues from the use of existing and emerging techniques for radiation therapy' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Curative cancer treatment with radiation seeks to optimise the magnitude of the radiation dose to the treatment volume while restricting the dose to normal healthy tissue.  With an increasing population of surviving cancer patients treated with radiation therapy, the harmful effects of the radiation to normal tissue are becoming more evident.  The ALLEGRO project will address the many aspects of normal healthy tissue damage that are not yet well understood in both conventional treatment techniques and emerging techniques (protons, heavy ions).    The project will include measurement of radiation doses outside the treatment volume and investigation of the accuracy of methods of dose calculation in this region.  The extensive existing databases of radiation treatments and outcomes will be used to investigate models of normal tissue damage and second primary cancer.  The measurements and data analysis will be supported by theoretical modelling and surveys to develop the link between radiobiological mechanisms and empirical normal tissue complication (NTCP) models, and to extend conventional models to apply to the emerging techniques.   The project is restricted to two years, so there will be a limit to the amount of new research possible.  Therefore an essential part of the project will be to engage a forum of experts to redefine the current knowledge on normal tissue damage following radiotherapy, identify gaps in the knowledge and make recommendations for future research, data collection, and technological developments.  The final report will consist of a series of focused documents directed to clinicians (for the application of normal tissue risks in treatment optimisation), equipment manufacturers (recommendations on safety design), and the research community (summary

user: Describe how 'Hippocampus Extracellular Space Simulator Project (HESSP)' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Understanding the human brain is one of the biggest scientific challenges of the 21st century, and this endeavor has led the European Union to launch the Human Brain Project (HBP) as a FET flagship project. However, even a flagship project such as the HBP cannot study all aspects of the human brain. One aspect that is not covered by the HBP is the extracellular space (ES). The ES of the brain is important in the field of neuropharmacology because it is key to the successful delivery of drugs to the neurons. Also, the importance of the metabolite clearance activity of the ES has led to proposing that a dysfunction of this process plays a role in neurodegenerative diseases. However, to the best of the eligible researcher’s knowledge, no initiative exists to create an ES simulation software that improves the research. To address this lack of simulation software, this proposal presents the Hippocampus Extracellular Space Simulator Project (HESSP). The HESSP’s goal is to develop a simulation software for how substances released by neurons and chemical substances that pass the blood-brain barrier diffuse through the ES. Specifically, the HESSP will create a software that simulates the diffusion process in the ES of the mouse’s hippocampus. The HESSP is an interdisciplinary project that involves computer science, neuroscience and pharmacology, and it addresses the challenge of developing a software architecture to simulate a diffusion process highly complex due to its number of elements formed.  The hippocampus was chosen because it is a well-known structure, the results can be tested, and it is the earliest brain structure affected in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The HESSP will open a frontier line of research at the host university in collaboration with leading scientists in ES
