user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'HUman behavioral Modeling for enhancing learning by Optimizing hUman-Robot interaction'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The HUMOUR project will investigate and develop efficient robot strategies to facilitate the acquisition of motor skills. We will address both the (human) trainee and the (robot) trainer sides, by combining behavioural studies on motor learning and its neural correlates with design, implementation, and validation of robot agents that behave as 'optimal' trainers, which efficiently exploit structure and plasticity of the human sensorimotor systems. On the human trainee side, we will focus on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying the acquisition of a variety of motor skills, by specifically aiming at understanding the way humans physically cooperate in acquiring a motor skill and how physical assistance affects motor learning. Experiments will enable us to identify determinants and dynamics of the learning process in representative motor tasks, and will provide the foundations for designing efficient schemes of assistance. On the robot trainer side, we will develop several robot agents for the acquisition of a variety of motor skills. They will be capable of generating appropriate schemes of assistance, based on the specific task needs and possibly learned from human experts. Robots will continuously adapt assistance, in terms of the observed performance and of neural and cognitive correlates of adaptation, to the specific user (e.g. patient) and his or her state. Robot trainers will be validated in the context of motor skill learning and robot-assisted rehabilitation. Robot agents that facilitate the capture of new motor skills may potentially benefit large groups of individuals, by helping professionals, e-g- surgeons, to acquire delicate motor skills; by providing older persons greater access to activities like fitness, sports, and arts, thus ultimately improv

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Embedded interactive video server' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of the project is to prepare for the development of future Video-On-Demand (VOD) products for the transportation market.It is envisaged that, in the near future, commercial planes, ocean liners, ferries and trains will be fitted with VOD servers. Passengers will then be able to choose and control video programmes from individual terminals. The server will also provide games, tourist information, news and other services. A strong growth in this type of services and products is anticipated in the near future if such systems can be made available with an acceptable performance at a reasonable price. The project will evaluate the suitability of HPCN technology for an embedded VOD server. This will be supported by the development of a demonstrator including a server with an operating environment and applications. Evaluation of this demonstrator will require the presence of a large number of terminals, a few of which will be physical while the others will be simulated. This will enable the project partners to implement a pilot VOD application and to debug, test and optimise the whole system from a functional and a technical point of view. The system will be largely based on standard components and interfaces. Specially designed software tools will be used for system tuning. http://set.gmd.de/RS/EIVIS

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Wide gap chalcopyrites for advanced photovoltaic devices'.

assistant: **Concept**

OBJECTIVES The objective of this project is to develop highly efficient, low-toxic, stable, cost effective thin film solar cells based on CuGaSe2 and CuGaSe2 / CulnSe2 tandem structures. The wide-gap CuGaSe2 (Eg =1.68 eV) based solar cell will be processed at low temperatures and should exceed the best PV parameters, achieved so far. We aim in particular for an open circuit voltage of more than 1 V and a short-circuit current density of more than 15mA/cm2 (under AM1.5 illumination). TECHNICAL APPROACH In order to study the influence of source materials and deposition techniques on device performances, MOCVD and PVD will be investigated. Polycrystalline CuGaSe2 and defect chalcopyrite layers will be deposited on glass/Mo and on glass/n+ -ZnO:AI (to form a tunnel junction), and also on glass/p+ -SiC (in order to develop transparent back contacts). For reference reasons the same layers wil be grown on GaAs-substrates by MBE and MOCVD. In some PVD processes various additive materials acting as fluxing agents will be used during the growth of CuGaSe2 thin films (flux-assisted growth). In the MOCVD-system p-CuGaSe2 /n-ZnSe structuires will be deposited in one multilayer-process. With different characterisation methods a study of material, interface and device properties will be performed. The material quality prior to and after deposition will be analyzed by mass spectrometry and nuclear mass resonance. With the help of ion-beam analysis the hydrogen content depth profile in the complete solar cell structures will be studied quantitatively . The stoichiometric composition at the interface between window layers and CuGaSe2 will be analyze by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) together with sputtering and Rutherford backscattering (RBS).

user: Describe how 'Mechanisms of Developmental and Injury-related Axon Branch Loss' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

My aim is to explore the subcellular (i.e. cell biological and molecular) mechanisms of axon loss in the developing and diseased mammalian nervous system. Axon loss not only sculpts neuronal networks in development, but also occurs early in numerous neurological diseases. Indeed, the life-time risk for diseases with an “axonopathic” component approaches 50%. Pathological axon loss likely involves aberrant activation of developmental programs – just as cell death in disease often takes the form of apoptosis, another prominent regressive event in neural development. Over the past few years, the first molecular pathways have emerged for one form of axon loss, Wallerian degeneration, which removes entire axon arbors after severing. However, Wallerian degeneration is of limited clinical significance – because the axon is cut and hence incapacitated before it is lost – and appears to play only minor roles in development. In contrast, “non-Wallerian” forms of axon loss that selectively remove individual “aberrant” branches dominate during development (“axon branch loss”). Due to the technical challenge of studying axon loss in the complex environment of the developing mammalian nervous system, the subcellular events that precede such non-Wallerian forms of axon branch loss are poorly understood, even though this phenomenon – when pathologically reactivated – likely contributes to axonal pathology in many neurological disorders. Over the past years, in parallel work on axon development and disease, my laboratory has devised functional imaging techniques that allow studying axon loss in vivo in the mammalian peripheral (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) with subcellular resolution and molecular read-outs. Using these unique tools, I will address the following aims:1 - Axon-i

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Harmful algal bloom expert system (HABES)' (HABES).

assistant: **Concept**

HABES aims at developing an improved understanding of harmful algal bloom formation by bringing together a multi-disciplinary team of Europe's most prominent scientists in a network of inter-linked (pilot) projects and by giving them access to the best possible datasets. HABES will develop an expert system, reflecting existing and newly acquired knowledge of harmful algal blooms. The expert system, using fuzzy logic principles, will be able to identify the critical locations and periods that are susceptible to harmful algal bloom formation.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Explorative research on flexible amorphous silicon solar cells' (FLEXISOL).

assistant: **Concept**

Solar energy is the ultimate future energy source. It is a clean and sustainable source of energy that can provide a significant share of our energy needs and greenhouse gas emission reductions. At present, solar energy is much more expensive than conventional energy. Thin film solar cells offer the perspective to bring down the cost of a kWh of photo-voltaic electricity to the level needed (0.05 - 0.10 euro/kWh).Technology forecasts claim adominant role in the future market for photo-voltaics for thin film silicon solar cells. Within the Helianthos group (a joint development between Akzo Nobel and Shell Solar), there is a firm knowledge of thin film silicon photovoltaic cells. The ultimate goal is to acquire the know-how for the production of low cost thin film silicon solar cells that are able to produce electricity at a competitive level compared to other energy sources and energy conversion processes.However, the present prototypes are still a factor of five from commercial application. In order to significantly improve the cost-performance ratio a number scientific/technical bottlenecks have been identified that need to be tackled/solved. It is clear that the identified knowledge gaps need to tackled through the combined efforts of MC ToK fellows having specific know-how and Helianthos's proprietary know-how. The target is to expand the know-how for the production of low cost thin film Si solar cells that are able to produce electricity at a competitive level compared to other energy sources and energy conversion processes.The fellows will be working within the Research and Technology Centre (RTC) of Akzo Nobel N.V., located in Arnhem (a multinational chemical and pharmaceutical company with 68,400 employees in 75 countries).The Marie Curie Host fellowship is meant

user: Explain how 'EasyFlow: New asthma monitor to enable the effective control of asthma' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Asthma affects the quality of life of millions of sufferers globally and causes a huge economic burden each year; asthma treatment is estimated to cost €17.7bn and the cost of lost productivity €9.8bn. It is estimated that in Europe there are 30 million asthma sufferers and 15,000 will die each year from an asthma attack even though the drugs used to treat asthma are safe, effective and if used correctly, would prevent many of these deaths. Asthma attacks result from ineffective monitoring leading to inadequate doses of prescribed drugs and therefore poor control of symptoms. Monitoring is vital as asthmatics will often not notice a gradual worsening of symptoms and will not adjust their medication accordingly potentially leading to a severe attack. Peak flow meters are currently used by asthmatics to monitor symptoms on a regular basis but compliance is poor as they are difficult to use, particularly in the young or old, and the technique required can cause exacerbation of symptoms plus the output then requires interpretation. We have developed a prototype of our easy to use home monitoring device that uses normal tidal breathing to generate breath profiles that change as symptoms deteriorate. The device incorporates our patented sensor housed in the mouth piece, which captures the breath profiles, attached to a handheld screen to display the interpretation of the breath profiles using an easy to understand traffic light system. Patients can then easily see whether they need to increase their asthma medication to control their symptoms and avoid an asthma attack. This Phase 1 project will assess the feasibility of device development and commercialisation including the clinical and regulatory requirements for CE marking.

user: Describe how 'Biocrete – Bio-inspired bacteria-based stress-responsive concrete.' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The proposed project aims to develop biocrete a bio-inspired stress-responsive concrete. Biocrete will be realized through the cross-pollination of the fields of: bacteria-based self-healing concrete; and bio-inspired organic-inorganic materials synthesis. This cross-pollination will see bacteria incorporated in hydrogel systems for the formation of novel bio-inspired bacteria-activated organic-inorganic composite materials, or bio-composite materials for short. In order to develop these bio-composite materials technologies the applicant will receive advanced training in organic-inorganic materials synthesis, with a focus on calcium carbonate precipitation in polymer hydrogels. He will also master state-of-the-art organic-inorganic materials analysis techniques including serial sectioning by cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB), and ultimately by cryo-scanning transmission electron microscopy (cryo-STEM). Such techniques will provide insights on the formation of the bio-composite materials, which will be key in ultimately controlling their morphology and mechanical properties. Biocrete will be born through the incorporation of these bio-composite materials technologies into concrete materials. Biocrete will be tested for its crack sealing and mechanical performance. It is envisaged biocrete have a superior crack healing action over conventional concrete materials, resulting in better functional performance and more durable concrete construction.In preparation for independent research after the project the applicant will also be able to build transferable skills including leadership, mentoring, teaching and grant writing and valorization. The knowledge and skill development gained during the project coupled with the development of a new and exciting research field wo

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Plant biomass for high-performing sustainable materials'.

assistant: **Concept**

Plant biomass is an important renewable resource. Elucidating its compositional complexity imposes a fundamental limit to its application. My research shows that cellulose organization in the secondary cell wall is governed by the xylan component far more than currently thought. Determining the full function of xylan in cellulosic material is the challenge addressed by XYLAN-2.0. To address this challenge, I will characterize cellulose fibril agglomeration as it occurs under different conditions involving xylans with known changes in primary structure. Firstly, I will map changes in cellulose fibril patterning in a large number of xylan mutants of the plant Arabidopsis. Secondly, I will systematically investigate nanocellulose:xylan composites made from Arabidopsis wildtype and mutant xylan preparations. Thirdly, I will attempt to produce “recombinant” xylan with well-defined primary structure specifications and use it to produce nanocellulose:xylan composites. These experiments will provide unprecedented insight into the function of xylan and aim to develop a mechanistic and quantitative model for how xylan modulates cellulose agglomeration. These new insights will have an enormous impact on biomass crop improvement, processing and application, particularly on biomass applied for cellulose-based high-performance materials. The experience of my supervisor Prof. Ulvskov in nanocellulose and material science combined with my experience in xylan biochemistry and biosynthesis make an ideal environment for carrying out this project and establishing myself as a leading independent multidisciplinary researcher.
