assistant: **Objectives**

Border security is one of the key security challenges to be taken up by Europe in the following years. In particular, the deployment of practical efficient means to detect hidden persons and illegal substances at border crossing points is instrumental in avoiding terrorism, human trafficking or smuggling.The DOGGIES project aims at demonstrating (1) an operational movable stand alone sensor for an efficient detection of hidden persons, drugs & explosives, (2) the potential adaptation of this solution for the detection of a much wider range of illegal substances.The project addresses trace detection: it relies on the combination of two technologies based on completely different physical principles, therefore qualified as “orthogonal”:- Mid-Infrared spectroscopy technology, based on photoacoustic detection, which appears as the most powerful and promising to detect a very wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); developments within DOGGIES will mainly target the demonstration of a widely tuneable integrated MIR source coupled with a miniature photo-acoustic cell;- Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) technology, more mature, as mentioned above; developments within DOGGIES will mainly target the use of non radio-active ionisation source.One of the main operational challenges is to provide reliable detection in real environments, in particular with the presence of “interferents”.  It is expected that the use of specific pre-concentrators on one hand, and the combination of the signal emerging from these “orthogonal technologies” by advanced software on the other hand will improve the detection reliability.The Consortium is composed of 14 partners from 5 EU countries, including 2 End-Users; the project activities will cover basic studies in physics and chemistry, as well

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Climate change impacts on trees reproduction and forecasts of forest recruitment change' (ForestFuture) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The capacity of future forests to support biodiversity and deliver ecosystem services will depend on reproductive capacities that keep pace with 21st century climate change. The European continent is warming and drying out fast, and similar changes are happening word wide. The decade-scale trends in biodiversity will be governed by tree fecundity?the capacity of trees to produce seed and to disperse it to the habitats where populations can survive in the future. From the boreal to the tropical forests, including in majority of European tree species, reproduction happens through synchronized, quasi-periodic, non-stationary variation in fruit production, termed masting or mast seeding. Despite the crucial role of mast seeding in plant regeneration and wider ecological processes, our understanding of this process is rudimentary. Poor understanding of the mechanisms that govern it are challenges for anticipating alternations in forest reproduction and function. Reliable predictive models are consequently not available, and the unpredictable recruitment of trees has become a key obstacle to understanding forest change. Recruitment, including reproduction and dispersal, is the most undeveloped demographic process in Earth system models. This work will transform our understanding of mechanisms governing trees reproduction and deliver tools for predicting forest reproduction trajectories under climate change. The main outcomes will be the first experimental description of how masting emerge at proximal level, and how this is conserved among species. This will be also the first explicit test of how variation in masting patterns matters for forest regeneration trajectories. Together with analysis of global reproductive patterns, our work will deliver a step-change in identifying

user: Explain how 'AUTOMATION PACE' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Automation effects on arousal could be predicted differently depending on the Attentional Theory. The classical Theory (Kahneman, 1973) considers the level of arousal reliant only on psychological factors (stress, fatigue and emotions). Automation would only affect the task complexity by allocating part of the cognitive processing to the system. Alternative theories such as Malleable Attentional Resources Theory (MART) (Young and Stanton, 2002) assumes that automation would also affect the level of arousal and be dependent on controller´s expectations: when the ATCo expects that the task is easy in the near future, she/he will reduce the arousal levels and get bored or sleepy (overconfidence on automation). On the contrary, fears of automation failing would increase stress and also the level of arousal causing disorientation, overacting or erratic behaviour.Based on these theories, AUTOPACE proposes basic research on a Psychological Model to quantitatively predict how automation would impact on human performance based on cognitive resources modeling (demanded and available), tasks characteristics (automation), psychological factors modeling (fatigue, stress and emotions) and ATCo expectations (overconfidence vs fears of automation).A catalogue of training strategies to support the controller being “in-the-loop” will be explored. For the classical Theory, the strategies only for keeping attention on the main task avoiding out-of-the-loop effect. For the MART the coach will be also for coping with stress. A reviewed Curricula and ATCo Selection will be initiated.Expert Judgment from Psychologists, ATM Experts and Controllers Trainers supported by Literature Research will look at future competences and training strategies. The research on Psychological Modeling will be als

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'How altered sensory experience changes the cortex: plasticity processes in the visual cortex and their relation to ecological real-life events under shifted perception condition'.

assistant: **Concept**

To properly function in daily life we need to interact with our surrounding world. How do these interactions forge our sensory cortices? And how does our visual cortex adapt in order to function in an altered environment? The proposed study combines functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and novel analysis of ecological real-life events with sensory-motor training in order to tackle these questions in both healthy and brain damaged individuals. We will use a specially designed virtual-reality-based prism-adaptation device (VR-PA) that creates a lateral shift in the user’s sensory experience, to probe experience-dependent changes in visual cortex functional connectivity. The VR-PA device will be used for rehabilitation of stroke patients suffering from an inability to attend stimuli in the left side of space (hemispatial neglect). We will explore the neuronal basis of this perceptual rehabilitation using functional connectivity methods in hemispatial neglect patients and in neurologically intact participants. We will use novel fMRI analyses to study how the severity of the perceptual impairment in neglect patients before treatment is reflected in altered pattern of intra-hemispheric connectivity in the primary visual cortex and in its connectivity with parietal areas. We will test whether exposure to VR-PA in healthy controls would result in a temporary imbalanced connectivity pattern, mimicking the patients’ condition. Conversely, in patients, VR-PA training, ameliorating perceptual deficits, would make connectivity patterns more similar to those of an intact brain. Multiple behavioural and physiological measures will be acquired during the training to identify key behavioural triggers of cortical plasticity. Combining the researcher's expertise in functional conn

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'WArm Climate Stability of the West Antarctic ice sheet in the last INterglacial (WACSWAIN)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Recent papers predict the loss of most of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) by 2500 if CO2 emissions and rising global temperatures are not controlled. It is critical to test whether the models making such worrying predictions are realistic. I will do this by obtaining new data from the last interglacial (LIG, 130,000-115,000 years ago) to assess the response of the WAIS to comparable warmth. During the LIG, sea level reached 6-9 m higher than today. It is inferred that Antarctic ice sheets contributed several metres of sea level rise, under a climate similar to the one we could be committing ourselves to in the next few centuries.  Most authors assume that the lost ice came mainly from the WAIS.  Models that predict large ice loss in the future also produce a very significant retreat of the WAIS and loss of the Ross and Ronne ice shelves under LIG conditions.Were the WAIS and Ronne Ice Shelf significantly smaller in the LIG? If so, what was the time course of their retreat and regrowth?  This project will remedy the surprising lack of direct evidence about these questions. I will examine data from ice cores that reach the LIG, drilled on the periphery of the WAIS. I will include retrieval of one new strategically-placed bedrock core, and obtain an isotope profile that will test the potential of another site.  The loss of much of the WAIS would have several effects on peripheral ice caps: glacio-isostatic (GI) uplift and a change in atmospheric circulation would cause a recognisable spatial and temporal pattern of symptoms.  The retreat of the Ronne Ice Shelf would leave a clear signature in marine aerosol concentrations in the ice. By examining changes in water isotopes, sea salt, air content and other proxies in all the cores, in comparison with different model outp

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Ultrasonic Curemeter for Rubber Processing' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

There is a large world market for manufactured rubber products - the production of natural and synthetic rubbers exceeds 16 million tonnes. Aeronautical and automobile companies (tyres, 'O' rings, hoses, and seals) account for about 60% of the total market. Current methods for estimating cure during the moulding process are unreliable - yet, for a given compound, the final product properties depend on the degree of cure. This project plans to develop an ultrasonic cure monitoring device to operate as a manufacturers' process aid - and more particularly, as an on-line process control tool. Ultrasonic cure monitoring has already been demonstrated by NPL for thermosets, although this technology has yet to be developed commercially. No research has been reported on the use of ultrasonics to monitor the cure of rubber materials. During the exploratory phase, the project will initially investigate the feasibility of using ultrasonic cure monitoring over a wide range of rubber materials and operating conditions. If the technique is proven sufficiently sensitive, the project will move on to the development of two prototype cure meters as a Stage 2 Co-operative Project. Two distinct forms of instrumentation are envisaged; a portable instrument for product testing (at ambient temperature), and an on-line, high temperature instrument for manufacturing, and monitoring process control. Innovative solutions are required to make this project successful, including: high temperature ultrasonic probe design/assembly, real time signal processing, and correlation between ultrasonic cure measurements and current laboratory rheology techniques. The consortium comprises H W Wallace (a SME specialising in instrumentation for the rubber industry), two rubber component manufacturers (end users)

user: Explain how 'Deep uncertainties in bioethics: genetic research, preventive medicine, reproductive decisions' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Uncertainty is everywhere, as the saying goes, but rarely considered in ethical reflections. This project aims to reinterpret ethical discussions on current advances in biomedicine: instead of understanding bioethical positions as extensions of classical normative views in ethics (consequentialism, deontologism, contractualism etc.), my project interprets them more accurately as involving various normative approaches to decision making under uncertainty. The following hard cases in bioethics provide the motivation for research:1) Regulating scientific research under uncertainty about the ontological/moral status (e.g. parthenogenetic stem cells derived from human parthenotes) in the context of meta-reasoning under normative uncertainty.2) The value of preventive medicine in healthcare (e.g. vaccinations) in the context of decision-making under metaphysical indeterminacy.3) Population or reproductive decisions (e.g. preimplantation genetic diagnosis) in the context of valuing mere existence.The main drive behind this project is the rapid progress in biomedical research combined with new kinds of uncertainties. These new and “deep” uncertainties trigger specific forms of emotions and cognitions that influence normative judgments and decisions. The main research questions that will be addressed by conceptual analysis, new psychological experiments, and case studies are the following: how do the heuristics and biases (H&B) documented by behavioral scientists influence the formation of normative judgments in bioethical contexts; how to demarcate between distorted and undistorted value judgments; to what extent is it permissible for individuals or policy makers to yield to H&B. The hypothesis is that many existing bioethical rules, regulations, practices seem to have emerged

user: Explain how 'Analysis of Structural Economic Models: Misspecification and Flexible Estimation' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Structural models are key tools of economists to evaluate and design policies. These models specify economic environments, estimate mechanisms that determine outcomes, and can be used for counterfactual predictions. One important class of models deals with skill and human capital formation, which is an important driver of economic growth and inequality. These models study the determinants of skill formation and the timing of optimal investments in children. Since structural models require simplifying assumptions, they are also prone to misspecification.The proposed research shows that existing skill formation models rely on seemingly innocuous normalizations, which can severely impact counterfactual predictions. For example, simply changing the units of measurements of observed variables can yield ineffective investment strategies and misleading policy recommendations. I plan to tackle these problems by providing a new comprehensive identification analysis and by focusing on a novel set of important policy-relevant parameters that yield robust conclusions. These issues and solutions might extend to many other structural models with latent variables. In addition, I will provide a new flexible estimator for the policy-relevant features and analyze various data sets to reevaluate policy recommendations with potentially large impacts on costs and benefits of large public investments in children, economic growth, and inequality.Estimation will rely on other objectives of this proposal, which aim to develop new econometric tools. These tools are important contributions on their own rights and are applicable in a wide range of settings. They allow researchers to obtain more precise nonparametric estimators and more reliable conclusions by using shape restrictions implied by ec

user: Draft an impact statement for ''reverse genetics for the production of antigenic and pathotypic variants of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis'', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content Infectious bronchitis virus is one of the most significant pathogens in the poultry industry and in spite of the use of vaccines, diseases caused by variant IBV strains continue to result in tremendous economic losses throughout the world. The objectives of the project are to use reverse genetics to produce antigenic and pathotypic variants of IBV to investigate the gene(s) involved in protective immunity and virulence. The ultimate aim is the ability to produce genetically modified vaccine strains capable of inducing immunological responses to protect against pathogenic variant IBVs. Reverse genetics, the ability to copy RNA genomes into DNA copies for manipulation and to regenerate infectious RNA genomes, has been a major breakthrough for the modification of RNA virus genomes to investigate gene(s) involved in virulence and immunogenicity. The size of the coronavirus genome (approx. 30 kb) has to date proved a major block on the development of a complete infectious copy. However, the observation that the coronavirus polymerase is able to generate recombinant RNAs and the isolation of replicating defective RNAs (D-RNAs) has allowed the production of recombinant viruses utilising DNA copies of the D-RNAs and targeted recombination using the modified DRNAs. Therefore the manipulation of D-RNAs and targeted recombination will be used to produce recombinant IBVs to investigate the gene(s) involved in virulence and immunogenicity. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The project will provide training in the use reverse genetics to modify the IBV genome. This will involve the use of tissue culture and techniques in both molecular virology and biology. The benefit gained will be the use of reverse genetics to manipulate RNA
