user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Governing with Data: Local Experimentation in Authoritarian China' (DigitalGovernance) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

As new information technologies and the advent of “big data” are reshaping societies around the globe, inquiries into the nature and varieties of digital governance and their consequences become increasingly urgent. “Smart cities” are mushrooming particularly quickly in China, which is home to more than half of the more than 1,000 smart cities worldwide. These city governments have begun to experiment with digital technologies to harness the power of big data analytics for governing society. Emerging practices have momentous implications for the organisation of social, political and economic life in China and globally. A systematic study has yet to address the lacking empirical and conceptual understanding of digitalising governance practices in authoritarian China. The project seizes a unique opportunity to witness “natural experiments” of digital government modes as they emerge from China’s advanced smart cities. A political economy framework and policy cycle analysis will be used to study the interplay between government, businesses and citizens in local decision-making as digital technologies are increasingly integrated into the process. Through mixed-method, the project will achieve three objectives: 1. Study the variation in local digital governance modes and understand why these modes evolved in different ways.  2. Explore the mechanisms through which digital technologies are integrated into local decision-making processes and governance structures. 3. Assess the impacts of new digital governance modes for citizens, businesses and the state. Findings will generate new empirical data, on the basis of which it will be possible to push the conceptualisation of emerging digital governance modes and the assessment of their benefits and risks. The project will signific

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Evaluation of the factors influencing the generation of wool process dust and methods for its reduction' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Background This project addresses a problem faced by many European SME s in the wool processing sector. Wool processors are aware that wool process dust can have an adverse affect on the health of their employees and they need to quantify the level produced in their processes. It is also known that wool process dust may cover produced in their processes. It is also known that wool process dust may contain many hazardous chemicals within the dust and the type and extent of these chemicals will vary from process to process.  Objectives Work is necessary to answer many of the outstanding questions in this area and to assess the risks which are currently present and to provide guidance on how to reduce the production of wool dust. This background work is vital before further environmental standards are imposed on the wool processing industry. The objectives of this project are to measure dust levels in various woollen processes in several different European mills and to identify those which generate the largest volumes of dust.  Work programme Changes will be tried and/or recommended which have the potential to reduce dust levels and result in economic savings. Dust levels will be measured using sampling devices carried by mill personnel. Dust collected will be further analysed using sophisticated equipment which will characterise the dust (particle size etc) and any hazardous components. The project has been carefully planned to answer the various industry questions and will provide the industry with a Code of Practice which it needs to proceed with confidence in this area with minimum trouble and costs. In addition the social and environmental benefits which should result will be of immeasurable value.  State of progress Just started.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Methods for the official control of probiotics - microorganisms - used as feed additives'.

assistant: **Concept**

The general objectives of this project are as follows: - Build a reference collection of probiotic strains used in feeds - Gather together existing methods and results and check for their applicability - Develop/adapt methods for the enumeration of probiotics in feeds - Develop/adapt methods for the identification at species level of probiotics used in feeds (cultural/biochemical) - Develop/adapt methods for the differentiation of strains used as probiotics - Validate these methods by collaborative studies within the European Union - Draft standard methods for approval by the EU The proposal outlines the issues involved arising from Council Directive 70/524/EECconcerning additives in feeds, specifically probiotics. Little information exists in the literature on analytic methods for probiotics in animal feeds and what methods there are have been proposed by manufacturers. Iew of the latter have been subjected to ring testing. This proposal deals with a project that intends to collate the information available on the proposed methods of analysis and develop and adapt the best ones available for eventual interlaboratory comparisons. Detection and enumeration will be investigated using traditional culture based techniques and species level identification will be made using both traditional biochemical test profiles and, where feasable, polymerase chain reaction using species-specific primers. Characterisation of strains within species will be carried out using advance molecular techniques such as pulsed field gel electropheresis and RAPD-PCR. In this way it will be possible to compare original industrial strains with those isolated from a product sample. The work will be done by five partners chosen from different member states for their experience with particular organisms

user: Explain how 'noVel ambiEnt noise tomogRaphy techNique for gEothermal exploration' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The transition to clean energy has increased interest in geothermal resources from various geological environments like fractured rock, magmatic systems, and sedimentary basins. Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) is a widely used geophysical exploration method that provides shear wave velocity models to reveal fractures in the subsurface. Recent advancements have enabled ANT to extract seismic attenuation data, which is particularly sensitive to fluid flow and is highly valuable in geothermal exploration. The VERNE project aims to advance geothermal exploration by developing innovative Ambient Noise Attenuation Tomography (ANAT) software. The project focuses on developing the ANAT software using Python and leveraging open-access libraries for signal processing and inversion. It will be designed to generate 3D attenuation models from ambient noise signal, providing detailed insights into subsurface structures. Following software development, the project will apply this methodology to existing seismic datasets to key geothermal areas in Aargau and Jura in Switzerland and Tuscany in Italy. These regions have been selected due to their high geothermal potential and the availability of extensive seismic data. The goal is to produce high-resolution 3D attenuation models that can identify critical features such as fractures and fluid presence, which are vital for assessing geothermal resources. Additionally, VERNE will explore ANAT's application to Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology. DAS transforms fiber-optic cables into dense seismic sensor arrays, offering the potential for unparalleled spatial resolution and coverage. By integrating ANAT with DAS data, the project aims to enhance the accuracy and depth of subsurface imaging, potentially revolutionizing geothermal ex

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'On-Board Monitoring of In-Service Trains for the Structural Health Monitoring of Railway Bridges' (OMoRail) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Railway systems are expanding rapidly worldwide as a 'green' means of transportation. Such rapid expansion poses a challenge toguaranteeing safety and ensuring the quality of railway systems. Continuous monitoring of tracks and rail bridges can help diagnoseand prognose damage timely, increasing railway transportation reliability. In this project, we focus on rail bridges, whose conditionassessment traditionally relies on a static network of sensors. Although well-established, this technique lacks portability, entailsconsiderable cost and effort, and, crucially, inhibits continuous monitoring, as the lifespan of sensors is generally smaller than that ofthe bridge. To tackle these limitations, indirect monitoring practices have recently gained attraction. Such methods extract thedynamic properties of bridges via measurements from traversing vehicles by exploiting the Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI) principle.This way they offer mobility and lower installation and maintenance costs. However, the majority of studies on indirect monitoring ofbridges focus on highways. Despite the similarities of VBI modelling between highways and railways, distinct differences (e.g., vehicleand contact models, moving speed, loading patterns) do not allow the direct application of current indirect monitoring methods torailway bridges. Another challenge is the blurring effect of surface roughness, which, simplistically, is typically considered as known oris eliminated. To this end, this project proposes a consistent methodology to continuously monitor railway bridges via On-BoardMonitoring of in-service trains, with a simultaneous characterization of the involved roughness profiles. Accordingly, it proposes ahybrid modelling procedure that considers a VBI model (which represents actual train

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Intelligent Trading Interface'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The challenges of modernizing the electricity grids in Europe lie in enabling an increased flexibility of the European power system and enabling an active participation of users and new market actors. Demand response enables end users to participate actively in energy markets and profit from optimal price conditions, making the grid (heat, cold, electricity) more efficient and contributing to the integration of renewable energy sources. At the same time the Energy Efficiency Directive adopted in 2012 contains provisions to encourage market actors to facilitate demand response.Our product – Intelligent Trading Interface (ITI) is designed to speed up adoption of Demand Side Management (DSM) systems. ITI is an interface between Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Control Centre and prosumer’s Energy Management System (EMS). It is a building block of a modular VPP system, thus enabling the participation of new technology players for making an optimal VPP solution and bring more competition and innovation on the VPP market. With reduced initial investment needed, end users (prosumers) are more likely to participate in Demand Response Management (DRM) programs, at the same time achieveing the savings estimated at 5-10 % of the total electricity costs.Existing and evolving VPP suppliers are considered customers, rather than competition. By addressing several additional business cases (aggregators, OEM for EMS suppliers, transmission and distribution system operators), we increase market potential for ITI.Designed, using knowledge and expertise, gained from development and demonstration of INEA's complete VPP product, ITI contains state-of-the art technologies and concepts for VPPs of the future. Open Top and Open Bottom functionalities make ITI compatible with wide range of existing and

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for '7kDa TSLP as a novel type of anti-inflammatory agent to re-establish immune homeostasis' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Intestinal homeostasis is a complex event that relies on different interactions between the host and the commensal flora, also called microbiota. The microbiota is a source of gene products that are required for several functions linked to digestion and energy harvest, thus it has to be tolerated, but at the same time controlled. We have shown that the capacity to tolerate the microbiota is linked to a close interaction between epithelial cells, that are the first line of defence against luminal microorganisms, and specialized immune cells called dendritic cells, that acquire a tolerogenic phenotype and drive the development of T regulatory cells, capable to control the development of inflammatory responses to bacteria. We have identified several effectors mediating this control and focused on a cytokine called thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) that is released constitutively by epithelial cells and is strongly downregulated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). By contrast, in other inflammatory disorders like allergy or asthma, TSLP has been shown to be upregulated and to mediate disease.This apparent controversy is solved when considering that TSLP comes in two different isoforms: a short (sTSLP) and a long (lTSLP). sTSLP has been completely neglected in the literature as most of the reagents do not distinguish it from lTSLP. Within the ERC project Dendroworld, we have generated all the tools to study the function of these two isoforms. We discovered that in IBD there is an inverse correlation between sTSLP and lTSLP. lTSLP is drastically upregulated by recruited immune cells, while sTSLP is downregulated in epithelial cells. Hence, we hypothesized and confirmed that the two isoforms had different activities, with the sTSLP being anti-inflammatory and lTSLP being in

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Targeting Receptors Of Jointly Assembled Ligand-Drug Constructs'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The TROJA proposal is an investigative bioengineering study of the exploitation of specific endocytic receptors for targeting small molecule drugs to specific cells in order to improve medical therapy. This is a new approach with scientific roots in the basic research on endocytic receptors and protein expression carried out in the laboratory of the applicant. The major line of the proposal concerns the construction of combinatory drugs for targeting the haptoglobin (Hp)-hemoglobin receptor CD163 (Kristiansen et al., Nature 409:198-201) expressed in the monocyte-macrophage system. The platform may apply to a broad spectrum of diseases such as inflammatory diseases, various infections and certain cancers which all have CD163-expressing macrophages or malignant derivatives as key cell type in the pathogenesis of the disease. Dependent of the above-mentioned diseases to be treated, the drugs are intended to have anti-inflammatory, microbiotic or cytostatic effects. Efficacy of the combinatory drug will be investigated in monocytes/macrophages, CD163-transfected cells and as well as in suitable animal models including transgenic animals. Another and minor line of the proposal concerns the construction of combinatory drugs for targeting a very recently discovered Hp-Hb receptor expressed in trypanosomes (Vanhollebeke et al., Science, in press) causing sleeping sickness. Both lines of this research proposal will take advantage of established recombinant protein expression methods and chemical coupling technology to construct jointly assembled ligand-drugs complexes. In terms of drug efficacy and toxicity, the aim is to design combinatory products that remain largely inactive in their receptor-binding form, but upon release in the cells or parasites the active small molecule c

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'AI-powered self-learning robots for high-performance waste valorization and critical raw materials recovery' (2021-2027), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

iBot4CRMs is devoted to develop and pilot a self-learning robot integrating novel AI tools, data models and meticulous manipulations to enable recovery of critical raw materials (CRMs) from urban waste and dismantling end of life products. Wastes are manually sorted today by trained staff to remove hazardous materials before incineration and recover CRMs and magnets from crashed cars, electric motors, electronic waste and home appliances after manual dismantling. Current sorting machines face limitations in separating tons/hour of waste flow in only three streams maximum as they are not able to deal with large variability in waste such that effectivity still depends on heavy manual sorting. iBot4CRMs aims to build sorting robots that encompass handcrafting and intelligence to support human work in managing the unmanageable of recovering CRMs from urban waste in real-time. The robot system will integrate solutions that are re-usable from other sectors to converge senso-mechanical perception with evolutionary learning and flexible manipulation in a responsible research and innovation for effective dismantling and precise picking of CRMs from waste to improve circularity and impact on securing critical value chains for Europe. iBot4CRMs addresses four large scale pilots for recovery of CRMs in reals-settings at large end-users and industries in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey, each of them comprising several technological validation scenarios, and facilitates collaboration between small and large companies towards enabling the scalability and wider exploitation of results. The project targets CRMs of high impact/volume in waste such as recovery and recycling of neodymium magnets by dismantling motors as well as recovering selected CRMs and removing hazardous materials b

user: Explain how 'Word Measures in Groups and Random Cayley Graphs' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Recent years brought immense progress in the study of Cayley graphs of finite groups, with many new results concerning their expansion, diameter, girth etc. Yet, many central open questions remain. These questions, especially those concerning random Cayley graphs, are major motivation to this proposed research. Central in this project is the study of word measures in finite and compact groups. A word w in a free group F induces a measure on every finite or compact group G as follows: substitute every generator of F with an independent Haar-random element of G and evaluate the product defined by w to obtain a random element in G. The main goal here is to expose the invariants of the word w which control different aspects of these measures. The study of word measures, mostly by the PI and collaborators, has proven useful not only for analyzing random Cayley and Schreier graphs of G, but also for many questions revolving around free groups and their automorphism groups. Moreover, the study of word measures has exposed a deep and beautiful mathematical theory with surprising connections to objects in combinatorial and geometric group theory and in low dimensional topology. This theory is still in its infancy, with many beautiful open questions and intriguing challenges ahead.Another line of research revolves around a few irreducible representations of a finite group which control the spectral gap of Cayley graphs. The proof of Aldous' conjecture in 2010  showed that this happens more commonly than one could have naïvely guessed. There is additional evidence, some of which found by the PI and collaborators, that Aldous' conjecture is only the tip of the iceberg, especially for Cayley graphs of the symmetric group Sym(n). Our most optimistic conjectures here have extremely st
