user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Integration of a property simulation tool for virtual design and manufacturing of forged disks for aero engine applications' (PROSIT).

assistant: **Concept**

In order to overcome current shortcomings of the state-of-the-art simulation chain, this project will make improvements on microstructural modelling (integration of non-uniform microstructures), billet modelling (evaluation of billet inhomogeneity introduced during feedstock processing) and modelling of materials properties (yield strength variations in circumferential direction, influence of non-uniform grain structures) available to the customer. On the one hand, this means a further development of already demonstrated capabilities of Böhler Schmiedetechnik GmbH & Co KG (BSTG) to simulate microstructural and mechanical properties for increasing prediction fidelity. On the other hand, this is of special importance for efficiency of future engines (i.e., lower fuel consumption, reduction of CO2 emission, etc.), as a fully integrated simulation chain allows for an optimization of forged engine disks in respect of weight and safety.Yield strength variations in circumferential direction were observed in an earlier research project. It was assumed, that this behavior is caused by variations in the billet and certain process conditions during the last forging operation. Aiming to the topic of this proposal, these additional impacts should be analyzed (for metallurgical understanding) and included in an existing mechanical properties simulation tool (for quantitative prediction). The influence of inhomogeneous breakdown and converting of the billet will be elaborated together with the billet supplier Böhler Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG (BEG). This close collaboration is essential to enable a fully integrated simulation chain. After establishing a grain class model to predict duplex grain structures, the effect of duplex grain size on yield strength and fatigue properties will be st

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Training and technology transfer of Avian Influenza diagnostics and disease management skills' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The present world wide avian influenza crisis has highlighted the need for comprehensive training and the transfer of technology to accession and INCO countries with the clear goal of aiding these countries in combating AI with the most up-to-date diagnostic and disease management procedures. The FLUTRAIN project will aim to fulfil this requirement at two levels. It will firstly approach the need for training by providing three workshops over the duration of the project (3 years) that will call on experts i n the AI field to pass on their valuable expertise in the diagnosis and management of AI to participants from accession and INCO countries. Training opportunities will also be provided in partner labs in order to consolidate the information and practical experience gained during the workshops. In addition a CD-ROM will also be prepared containing essential information provided during the workshops.A website will be developed which will enable participants and the general public to access the training programs and will include on-line discussion forums between trainees and trainers. The second goal of FLUTRAIN will be the transfer of technology to accession and INCO countries. This will include the provision of new, simplified and cost effective diagnostic methods and reagents. It will also involve the transfer of deliverables, both for serological and virological diagnosis that has been (or will be) developed in three European projects namely AVIFLU, Lab-on-Site and FLUAID. The consortium is made up of 19 members which includes 2 SMEs. The participants can be identified as trainers (12) or recipients (7).

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Technological Innovations in Costume Practice (TICP): Enabling the adoption of new manufacturing technologies by live performance costume professionals' (TICP) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The production of stage costumes relies on the talents and expertise of diverse costume professionals. These practitioners employ a range of tools and technologies as they collaboratively work to convert an idea or 2D sketch into a 3D garment custom-made for that character and show. Industry 4.0 manufacturing technologies, such as virtual patternmaking and 3D printing, offer substantial productivity, financial, sustainability and creativity benefits to costume construction, but the adoption of such technologies is haphazard and obstructed by a perception that costume practice is not technically innovative. This perception is informed by systematic gender biases that limit investment in, and recognition of, the skills and creativity of costume professionals, who are predominantly female. Technological Innovations in Costume Practice (TICP) is a research justice project that investigates the integration of technological innovations with the aim of facilitating their adoption and application in the work of costume makers. This will elevate the field of costume production and strengthen the future employability of professional costumers. The central research question driving the project is: As costume practitioners implement new manufacturing technologies in their workflow, what are the structural and attitudinal factors that constrain and facilitate their adoption? Through a groundbreaking cross-disciplinary approach that applies theories about sociotechnical change to data from practitioner interviews and digital ethnography, the project will develop a model of technological adoption for costume that responds to the very specific context of the live performance industry. Such a model will enable practitioners to be more deliberate, effective and empowered when engaging wi

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Computational Design for Lightweight Ca-Mg-based Laves Phases for Hydrogen Storage' (LLAVES) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Given the current energy crisis, caused by the depletion of fossil fuel sources and/or environmental necessity to reduce CO2, geopolitical and environmental concerns surrounding energy uncertainty have become a topic difficult to ignore. It is, therefore, of paramount importance, for the present and long term viability of the European (and global) economy, to find more efficient means to produce, store and transport energy. To this end, hydrogen-based technologies, have been put forward as one of the technologies that could potentially play a significant role in the mid- and long-term future of energy generation.In this work, we aim to address one of the most important hurdles towards a hydrogen economy: hydrogen storage. We propose to use a combination of computational techniques, Density Functional Theory (DFT), kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) and CALculation of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD), to study lightweight Laves phase materials as possible candidates for hydrogen storage. The information extracted from DFT and kMC calculations will be used to generate phase diagrams and thermodynamics databases, via CALPHAD calculations. This information will then be employed to design lightweight Ca-Mg-based materials, with a targeted hydrogen storage capacity close to 4 wt.% and reversible hydrogen absorption below 100 ºC.The successful outcome of this project could have a two-fold impact: on a technological level, the information obtained from this program will be very valuable to the development of cheap lightweight Ca-Mg-based hydrogen storage alloys for automobile applications. On a more fundamental level, this project could provide an unprecedented understanding of the structural and chemical properties of these materials. Also, this project will represent the first attempt, in thi

user: Draft an impact statement for 'A bioengineered, naturally-derived, sustainable biocide for breaking down organic biofilms formed by drug-resistant bacteria.', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Aequor's ABD (Aequor Biofilm Dispersant) represents a significant leap forward in the arms race between modern medicine and drug-resistant bacteria. The biofilm is the first line of defence for these drug-resistant microorganisms, a polymer-like structure of proteins and secretions that protects the colony from virtually everything but burning or scraping it away.ABD does away with this problem in dramatic fashion. A natural biocidal agent derived from marine microorganisms, ABD is devastating for bacterial contamination, but gentle enough to be used as a supplement for antibiotic treatments. It is 99.99% effective at removing existing biofilms, prevents 99.99% of new biofilms from forming, and inhibits the growth of new bacterial colonies by over 92%. Lonza Group AG has verified this stellar performance in-vitro.Aequor intends to use the funds from the SME instrument to study the EU and global market for biocides further, and to dig deeper into markets for antibiotic supplements. Further it will carry out growth projections and examine the process for clinical trials in-depth.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Automate ISO-certified DNA screening platform to enhance the global food supply chain' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Food recalls, costly mitigation measure following the evidence of contaminated, adulterating or counterfeiting foods are daily. It can cost several milions to take back the food company and cause severe damages to the brand. Lab tests, detecting food contaminants can take up to seven days and are thus not compatible with fresh-food processes. The BEAMit-up platform that will bring the global food supply chain to the upper level of safety is composed of a hardware, capsules and a cloud solution. The capsule integrates a rapid DNA screening, developed and patented by SwissDeCode. Placed at the point-of-care, the BEAMit-up platform will certify the presence of pathogens or identify pork in beef meat in only 30 minutes. An ISO 17025 certificate will be released by SwissDeCode for each test. We will validate the BEAMit-up platform early access programs: We supply hardware and capsules to the customer who will perform a pre-defined number of tests per week. We will investigate the presence of Halomonas, milk proteins, and pork. We will also use the platform for GMO corn detection. SwissDeCode estimates a positive EBITDA at 5 years of €6.8M with a company growth to 200 employees. To tackle the SARS-CoV-2, rapid and accurate detection methods are needed. Since the beginning of March, SwissDeCode collaborates with The Genova Hospital to extend the core technology to the detection of the virus. Preliminary tests were sent to the virology labs of the hospital and will be tested with patient samples. With the support of the EC, SwissDeCode can bring this new test to the hospital within few months only.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Iconicity and ecology of languages: new insight'.

assistant: **Innovation**

In the present project, we propose a pioneer research that will provide new insights into human language ecology and evolution by exploring three rarely studied natural traditional oral practices with a multidisciplinary methodology. These are alternative speech forms that always rely on a spoken language and that consist of mapping voiced speech signals into very different types of sounds, such as whistling, instrumental music and animal calls. These speech transformations are respectively called ‘whistled languages’, ‘the singing/speaking mode of musical instruments’ (or ‘instrumental speech’), and ‘onomatopoetic words named after animal calls’. One of the main focuses of the project will be to analyze the interrelations between production and perception in such emulation processes based on iconicity with voiced speech (with methods of linguistic description as well as behavioral and electrophysiological experiments). Indeed, each of these phenomena transforms speech in a way that highlights some language-specific phonetic and phonological processes as well as some key perceptual processes of human speech recognition. The second principal axe of the project will be to analyze the impact of the biotope on human language because such oral practices are the result of both productive and perceptive adaptations of speech to real ecological situations (both social and biological). We will focus on the impact of the acoustic constraints imposed by typical natural biotopes on such special speech forms (such as dense forests, plain open fields and deserts). Our project will include a study on how such environmental constraints also affect shouted and normal speech, as well as a comparison with animal communication adaptation to the same constraints.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Genome- and HLA- wide scanning and validation of cytotoxic CD8 T cell responses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis' (VACCINES4TB) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Vaccines against tuberculosis are urgently needed (Jordan Report, 2000). CD4 T cell responses play a major role in the generation of acquired immunity against M.tubercolosis. However, it is increasingly recognised that CD8 cytotoxic T cells (CTL) also con tribute to optimal host defence against mycobacteria. Of the various CTL subsets, it is commonly accepted that the conventional MHC-Ia restricted CD8 T cell subset play a major role. Unfortunately, relatively few CTL responses against TB have been identif ied. The object of this proposal is to perform a complete antigen-and epitope- discovery of relevance for human immune CTL responses against M.tuberculosis. Focusing on HLA class I restricted CTL constitutes the major risk involved in this project. To mee t our global objectives within the limited time and resources available for this project, we will combine several recently established innovative high-throughput methods from immunology and bioinformatics. Two different screening approaches will be used; o ne of Forward Antigen Discovery", where expression libaries representing the whole M.tuberculosis genome is screened for proteins that are target for CTL repsonses in TB patients, and one of "Reverse Antigen Discovery", where proteins, which are likely to contain CTL epitopes, are predicted using computational methods, pre- validated by binding to relevant HLA molecules, and finally validated using CTL response from TB patients. The strategy will be initially to perform a genome-wide identification of nove l target proteins. Within these proteins we will subsequently perform HLA-wide epitope discovery where epitopes restricted by one of the major HLA supertypes are predicted, pre- validated for HLA binding and tested for CTL responses in TB patients.Our gene ral go

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Strengthening Technology, Research and Innovation Cooperation betweenEurope and South Africa' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The European Union and South Africa have long been committed to strategic cooperation in science and technology, dating back to their 1996 Cooperation Agreement, which facilitated cooperation under the Framework Programmes. South Africa has also concluded several bilateral cooperation agreements with EU Member States.South Africa is aiming to create a robust national system of innovation to enable its transition to a knowledge economy, achieving sustained growth and development. On the other hand, the Innovation Union Flagship Initiative provides a new innovation policy context for the EU with an emphasis on addressing global societal challenges, increasing European competitiveness, and attracting research talents and investments to Europe. South Africa and the EU, thus, share similar objectives and there is rich potential for cooperation in innovation to complement their substantial trade, innovation and development cooperation.Building on the work of earlier BILAT actions, ESASTAP PLUS will support the deepening of scientific and technological cooperation with a special focus on innovation. This will achieved by supporting South Africa’s participation in the Framework Programmes, but also reciprocal European participation in South African programmes. Specific input will be provided to enrich the bilateral policy dialogue, notably to identify priority areas for mutually beneficial cooperation. A major focus will be to target coordination of Member States and Associated Countries' research policies and programmes vis-à-vis South Africa, encouraging the development of new joint initiatives implemented by several countries. Synergy between different EU cooperation initiatives will also be encouraged, e.g. between development cooperation and research programmes. All activi

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Fundamentals of Biological Ice Nucleation' (F-BioIce) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Ice active bacteria can promote the growth of ice more effectively than any other material known. Using specialized ice nucleating proteins (INPs), they attack plants by frost damage and, when airborne in the atmosphere, they drive ice nucleation within clouds and control global precipitation patterns. The control INPs exert over water phase transitions has relevance for disciplines as diverse as climatology, plant pathology, biomedicine and material science. Despite the apparent importance, the molecular mechanisms behind INP freezing have remained largely elusive. This lack of our knowledge can be traced back to the challenges in studying protein and water structure and dynamics at the very interface between monolayers of proteins and water.With F-BioIce my team and I want to reveal the molecular details of INP function. We ask the questions: What is the structural basis for protein control of freezing? What structural motifs do proteins use to interact with water, and what is the configuration of water molecules that INPs imprint into interfacial water layers? What is the role of structural dynamics and for surface freezing? We will develop new methods based on sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy to determine mode of action by which INPs interact with and manipulate water. The INPs and water structure will be obtained by combining three rising methods in the field: SFG techniques that I have been spearheading, computer simulations and cryo-electron microscopy. We will study model water surfaces and, for the first time, realistic water aerosols interacting with INPs. These new strategies could lead to a paradigm shift in the entire field of ice nucleation and a search for similar processes in ice active fungi and pollen and abiotic ice nucleators – feldspar, s
