user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Obsvlti' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of this school is to teach to the European astronomical community how to observe with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), a new European facility soon in operation. The expected performance of the VLTI and its instruments will be unique in terms of flux sensitivity and angular resolution, because of the large collecting area of the 8-m and 1.8-m telescopes and multiple baselines up to 200 metters. The interferometry techniques are not yet widely taught in graduate schools all over Europe and attending such a school is almost the unique way to learn how to observe efficiently with the VLTI. We wish the European community to be ready for the first observations that will start at the end of 2002 since this field is extremely competitive with the advent of another large interferometer in the United States. The scientific outcome will at the level of the VLTI performance only if the astronomers get prepared to interferometric observations and if the specialists in interferometry transmit their knowledge. This winter school is essential to keep Europeans in the scientific race for discoveries. The financial support from Europe will be used to ensure that any student and scientist from any institutes can afford the school, since we will try to cover the overall cost including housing and travel. The selection of the participants will be organized so that a maximum of European institutes can send at least one representative to the school, with an emphasis on young researchers.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Novel biomimetic strategy for bone regeneration'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The importance of developing novel approaches for bone repair is underscored by the heavy burden on health care costs and patient suffering caused by traumatic, osteoporotic and osteolytic metastatic bone lesions. To address these health challenges, we will develop optimally performing bioinspired biomaterials mimicking the natural physiological processes underlying bone repair. Our overall approach is to produce smart bioactive 3D scaffolds to fit within bone lesions, which we will then inject with functional, genetically-engineered self-solidifying elastin-like polymers with absolute-controlled molecular architecture and sequences containing specific domains for cell attachment, growth factors and calcium phosphate nanoparticles. The resulting bioactive, biodegradable scaffolds, biogels and regenerated bone will be analysed for biomaterial effects on bone growth, healing, foreign body reactions using cutting-edge in vitro assays, BioMEMS technology, in vivo animal models, non-invasive imaging and gene expression profiling for discovery of biomarkers associated with bone repair. Biomaterials will also be tested with biodynamic assays to assess strength, durability, toxicology, sterilisation reaction, eco-toxicology and risk assessment. Our multidisciplinary consortium with its extensive, state-of-the-art expertise consisting of private and public partners, cellular and molecular biologists, immunologists, physicists, bioengineers, and orthopaedic surgeons will tackle serious bone lesions with a comprehensive work plan to develop a prototype, evaluate it in vivo and in vitro, upscale its production and prepare the final material for clinical phase trials and commercialisation of the dual component product. Our ultimate aims are to ensure strong, healthy bone regeneratio

user: Explain how 'Global Methods in the Langlands Program' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The Langlands program is a conjectural framework for understanding the deep relations between automorphic forms and arithmetic. It implies a parameterization of representations of Galois groups of (local or global) fields in terms of representations of (p-adic or adelic) reductive groups. While making progress in the Langlands program often means overcoming significant technical obstacles, new results can have concrete applications to number theory, the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Wiles being a key example.Recently, V. Lafforgue has made a striking breakthrough in the Langlands program over function fields, by constructing an `automorphic-to-Galois' Langlands correspondence. As a consequence, this should imply the existence of a local Langlands correspondence over equicharacteristic non-archimedean local fields.The goal of this proposal is to show the surjectivity of this local Langlands correspondence. My strategy will be global, and will involve solving global problems of strong independent interest. I intend to establish a research group to carry out the following objectives, in the setting of global function fields:I. Establish automorphy lifting theorems for Galois representations valued in the (Langlands) dual group of an arbitrary split reductive group.II. Establish cases of automorphic induction for arbitrary reductive groups.III. Prove potential automorphy theorems for Galois representations valued in the dual group of an arbitrary reductive group.IV. Establish cases of soluble base change and descent for automorphic representations of arbitrary reductive groups.I will then combine these results to obtain the desired surjectivity. This will be a milestone in our understanding of the Langlands correspondence for function fields.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Study of the energetics and dynamics of UV photodissociation of hydrocarbon radicals and the development of a new molecular beam instrument for the investigation of gas-surface interactions' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposal is divided into two sections:- The use of an existing rotating molecular beam instrument (designed and constructed in the host laboratory in the last few years) in conjunction with UV laser photolysis and a novel pyrolytic source to study the UV photodissociation dynamics of a series of hydrocarbon radicals. This study will result in information to help answer a number of outstanding questions on the dissociation dynamics of the radicals as well as providing information necessary to improve theoretical modelling of such processes and data to allow more accurate modelling of combustion processes.- The construction of a new molecular beam apparatus for the study of gas-surface interactions. The design of the instrument will be based on the techniques employed in part 1 of the project. This apparatus will be used to investigate the reactivity of ceramic materials with reducing (molecular and atomic hydrogen, etc.) and oxidising (molecular and atomic oxygen, etc.) gaseous species. This is also part of a project to study the stability of thin films of Americium carbide (an integral part of a propulsion system for interplanetary travel proposed by Nobel Laureate Carlo Rubbia).Considering the host supervisor's experience with the production of intense radical beams the instrument will ultimately be used to study radical-surface interactions, which is an important and yet largely unexplored subject. The candidate will receive training in the production of radical beams, photodissociation of relatively large systems, design, contruction, testing and use of a large instrument and surface science experiments.This will provide the candidate with the possibility to diversify his experience and allow him the opportunity to develop an instrument from the planning stages t

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Microeconometric Evaluation of Educational Systems' (EVALEDUC) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The quality of school education is analysed empirically. School education should foster cognitive development and knowledge accumulation and enable continuation into higher education and successful labour market career. The educational system also determines educational (in)equality and equal access to education. Four sub-projects deal with different aspects of efficiency and equity, using large student and teacher data sets from the UK and Sweden.First, the optimal allocation of resources to different educational levels (pre-, primary and secondary schooling) is analysed. A large amount of research has examined the effects of school resources on educational achievement. The combined effect of different resource allocations to primary and secondary schooling, however, has not previously been analysed.Second, the effects of school choice and school competition on student achievement are investigated. The comprehensive reforms in 1991/92 and 2001 in Sweden provide an opportunity to analyse choice and competition between public schools and their effects.Third, the optimal grouping of students into classes is investigated. Ability tracking can lead to more homogenous classes in terms of ability. New pedagogical forms such as age-integrated classes, on the other hand, lead to more heterogeneous classes with respect to age. The optimal class allocation will be estimated.Fourth, the labour market for teachers is examined. The introduction of more market elements into the Swedish teacher market after the decentralisation reform and their consequences are analysed, e.g. with respect to teacher shortages, wage differentials and entry and exit from teaching.A fifth sub-project is devoted to microeconometric methodology and supplies the estimators for the previous sub-projects.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Electromechanical quantum coherent systems' (NEMSQED).

assistant: **Innovation**

At a low temperature, nearly macroscopic quantum states can be sustained in superconducting (SC) Josephson junctions. Recently, these superconducting qubits have been coupled to electromagnetic resonators, in a manner analogous to cavity Quantum Electro Dynamics (QED) which describes the interaction between atoms and quantized oscillation modes in the quantum limit. On the other hand, there is yet no experimental evidence of a mode of a mechanical oscillator, such as that of a miniaturized vibrating string, to be chilled down to its quantum ground state. The main part of the proposal involves the use the coupling of Nanomechanical Resonators (NR) to SC qubits employed as artificial atoms in order to address the quantum-classical interface in mechanical motion. Similarly as the SC qubit can exchange quanta with electrical oscillators, it can, in principle, communicate with mechanical modes. The research will begin with demonstrating this kind of electromechanical interaction. In order to tackle experimental surprises, I plan on launching two parallel paths, one with a charge qubit, the other using a phase qubit. The formidable main goal is to experimentally reach the quantum ground state of a mechanical mode. I will investigate the following routes: Make a 1 GHz frequency NR, corresponding to 50 mK, which will reach the ground state at accessible temperatures. On the other hand, I propose to side-band cool a lower-frequency NR via the attached SC qubit. Near the quantum limit, I will start taking advantage of the NR as a building block of electromechanical quantum information. I also propose to push the QED setup of SC qubits coupled to electrical cavities towards more and more complicated states in order to test quantum mechanics in the nearly classical limit.

user: Explain how 'Closing the Loop between Understanding and Effective Treatment of the Basal Ganglia and their Disorders' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

In this project, the basal ganglia are defined as actor-critic reinforcement learning networks that aim at an optimal tradeoff between the maximization of future cumulative rewards and the minimization of the cost (the reinforcement driven multi objective optimization RDMOO model).This computational model will be tested by multiple neuron recordings in the major basal ganglia structures of monkeys engaged in a similar behavioral task. We will further validate the RMDOO computational model of the basal ganglia by extending our previous studies of neural activity in the MPTP primate model of Parkinson's disease to a primate model of central serotonin depletion and emotional dysregulation disorders. The findings in the primate model of emotional dysregulation will then be compared to electrophysiological recordings carried out in human patients with treatment-resistant major depression and obsessive compulsive disorder during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures. I aim to find neural signatures (e.g., synchronous gamma oscillations in the actor part of the basal ganglia as predicted by the RMDOO model) characterizing these emotional disorders and to use them as triggers for closed loop adaptive DBS. Our working hypothesis holds that, as for the MPTP model of Parkinson's disease, closed loop DBS will lead to greater amelioration of the emotional deficits in serotonin depleted monkeys.This project incorporates extensive collaborations with a team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychiatrists, and computer science/ neural network researchers. If successful, the findings will provide a firm understanding of the computational physiology of the basal ganglia networks and their disorders. Importantly, they will pave the way to better treatment of human patients with severe men

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Wave-Locked Loop for Frequency Synthesis (WLL)' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Conventional analog Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) occupies large area and is difficult to be reconfigured due to a bulky loop filter. In 2005, phase-domain all-digital phase-locked-loop (ADPLL) was proposed. It measured output phase of digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) using a time-to-digital converter (TDC). Unfortunately, designing fine-resolution TDC and wide dynamic range is power-consuming. In this project, instead of utilizing single sampling point per reference clock, we propose to oversample and digitize oscillator oscillator waveform which will produce enough digital samples to reconstruct, now in digital domain, the waveform and compare against a model waveform which will give precise frequency/phase and amplitude information. Thus, it is called, wave-locked loop (WLL) that will result in low-in-band phase noise, fast lock time, and wide-loop bandwidth that is no longer limited by reference clock. Preliminary data shows finer than 1-degree phase resolution even with 10% delay error in sampling clocks, and distortion from input waveform. This shows possibility to break the tradeoff in traditional TDC and improve robustness over PVT variations. Moreover, the design of building blocks which includes low-flicker-noise mm-wave LC Digitally-Controlled Oscillator (DCO) and small-sized ring oscillator with phase noise filtering will be investigated. Thus, this fellowship program studies an innovative frequency synthesizer and clock generation systems using wave-locked loop, which includes the study of oversampling of oscillator waveform for fine phase detection, the study of phase-noise reduction in ring oscillator using discrete-time filtering, the study of mm-wave oscillator with flicker noise corner reduction, and system integration for wave-locked loop system.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Hydrate Autoclave Coring Equipment System'.

assistant: **Concept**

Development, assembly and prototype testing of an innovative, downhole controlled autoclave system are proposed to sample sediments of the deepsea at in situ pressure and in situ temperature. The particular target would be sediments containing gas hydrates on the continental slopes in Europe and world-wide. The corer would be driven by a downhole (mud) motor instead of the top drive on board the research vessel/drillship. The main goal is to ultimately sample systematically and in more consolidated sediment those gas hydrates and to derive quantitatively validated parameters. The new autoclave system would thus permit the evaluation of pressure zones and gas hydrate occurrences in deepsea sediments of the European continental margins, including sediment slide areas such as the area of the Storegga slide at the Norwegian Continental slope or slides and gas hydrates recently discovered in the Eastern Mediterranean. The increasing awareness of the importance of gas hydrates in the global and marine environment, for marine safety and for potential future uses as a gas resource must be scientifically and systematically supported by sampling and quantitative verification. These goals concur with strategic decisions taken by the EU MAST community in 1995 and 1996. HYACE would be, at the same time, a priority development of the CORSAIRES (Coring Stable and Instable Realms in European Seas) program, adopted by the EU in 1995. CORSAIRES workshops on future work proposals and gas hydrate in September 1996, had selected the submission of a joint development for a gas hydrate sampling system as a prime topic. The group submitting this proposal is composed of research institutes and industrial companies in France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain. The

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'An investigation into the incorporation and release of vaccines from polylactid acid microspheres' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Research objectives and content A project is proposed whereby the incorporation of vaccines into polylactid acid will be described. It is well known that the use of such microspheres provides a valuable method of delivering vaccines to the body. However, much less is known in terms of the physical structure of such loaded spheres in relation to vaccine release rates. The aim of this project is to enhance our understanding of the relationship between the structure of vaccine-loaded microsphere and the in vitro release behaviour, with particular emphasis on the development of MDSC as novel approach to their characterization. The objectives of the project are to: - examine the effects of preparation method on model vaccine incorporation - characterize the structure of loaded microspheres using MDSC - relate the physical structure to the in vitro release behaviour. The deliverables of the project will be: - enhanced understanding of the incorporation of vaccines into micropheres - development of MDSC as a novel means of characterising vaccine-loaded microspheres - enhanced understanding of the relationship between structure and vaccine release patterns, leading to optimised design of these systems in general terms. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The training content is to develop my own knowledge base regarding not only the microspheres systems under study, but also the MDSC technique; this method is becoming increasingly important within the pharmaceutical sciences and Dr Craig's group are the primary international authority on pharmaceutica applications of this methods. My training will enable me to develop the use of this technique within my own countrary. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22)
