user: Describe how 'Development and in situ Infrared study of Novel Strained Core-shell Electrocatalysts: Towards an Understanding of the Oxygen Reduction Mechanism' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical in fuel cells (FC), batteries and corrosion. Sluggish kinetics of the ORR remains a key barrier to efficient electricity generation in FC operating on renewable fuels such as hydrogen or alcohols. Poor understanding of the ORR mechanism has hindered development of cost-effective and improved FC catalysts. This project aims to bring about a step change in development and understanding of ORR catalysts by (i) synthesising metal nanoparticles with a strained surface structure, and (ii) developing and implementing new in situ and operando infrared (IR) spectroscopic techniques to understand how strain impacts the ORR mechanism. Novel strained core-shell Pt-based catalysts will be developed, featuring a core of inexpensive metals including Ni, Co or Cu. For the first time, insight into the ORR mechanism for supported electrocatalysts under realistic catalytic turnover will be gained by modifying an approach to combining IR spectroscopy and electrochemistry developed in the Vincent group. The University of Oxford is uniquely suited for this ambitious project: the applicant will be hosted in a strong research culture in catalysis, have access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure and technical expertise in spectroscopy and materials characterisation and industrial collaborations. The fellow will receive broad-ranging training in the synthesis of catalysts and surface characterisation. The host team will benefit from her skills in in situ vibrational spectroscopy, especially spectral interpretation of ORR intermediates. This highly interdisciplinary project combines nanomaterial synthesis, spectroscopy and electrocatalysis, and has strong potential for generation of intellectual property and commercialisation of new catalyst

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Battery Management System for Electric Vehicles', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Battery Management System (BMS) plays a pivotal role in monitoring, control, and protecting the Electric Vehicle (EV) Lithium-ion battery packs. In vehicular applications, batteries are usually subjected to harsh operating cycles and varying environmental conditions leading to very complicated interactions of different aging factors and unforeseeable modeling uncertainties. Therefore, the classical model-based techniques cannot completely handle the foregoing factors, which always leave an unwanted state estimation error in the BMS. This project intends to apply a multidisciplinary approach by combining the advantages of deep reinforcement learning and classical model-based techniques to improve the BMS functionality in EVs. Specifically, DeepBMS aims to: 1-Develop efficient deep reinforcement learning-based algorithms which are able to capture the convoluted time-varying behavior of battery and can gradually improve themselves by learning in real-time 2- Combine the beneficial features of model-based and data-driven techniques to improve the state estimation accuracy in a wide temperature range and over the full life span of the batteries, thereby increasing the reliability and extending the battery lifetime. The interdisciplinary nature of DeepBMS is very strong, involving a combination of control and state estimation theory, power electronics, battery storage systems, and machine learning. The supervisor and candidate have excellent complemental research experiences in these fields providing the necessary competencies to bring the project to successful completion. The project ensures two-way transfer of knowledge including training of the candidate in cutting-edge advanced techniques in a state-of-the-art laboratory, which improves his future career prospects.

assistant: **Abstract**

PAN-AMAZONIA encompasses three integrated scientific networks designed to meld together currently disparate research efforts across the Amazon Basin in terms of global change and tropical forest ecosystem function. Specifically addressing current European Union carbon cycle and biodiversity priorities, PAN-AMAZONIA will form and strengthen transactional networks covering forest diversity and dynamics, tree biodiversity and whole ecosystem physiology and carbon dynamics, involving around 70 researchers from ten Latin American countries linked together with the overall aim of advancing our long term understanding of Amazonian forest structure and function in the face of global change. With the specific support of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, training of Latin American early stage researchers will form a key focus of PAN-AMAZONIA, with six Advanced Study Workshops to be held with instruction provided by leading European and South American scientists. Early on in the project exceptional students will be identified at the early postgraduate level for Investigator Pan-Amazonian Fellowships. Those selected will work in close liaison with top-level European scientists on previously identified projects that specifically address comparison and integration of research across the Amazon Basin. Integration of global change research in the Amazon will be further strengthened by producing a comprehensive set of multilingual manuals and by synthesizing existing knowledge of forest biodiversity, ecology and change into authoritative database products. By forming new Regional Research Networks and strengthening European co-operation with Latin-American partners, PAN-AMAZONIA will develop the critical mass of human capacity and techniques for monitoring and und

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Oceanic Physics-based Parameterizations of Internal Wave-driven Mixing'.

assistant: **Concept**

Oceanic Physics-based Parameterizations of Internal Wave-driven Mixing (OPPIWaM) tackles one of the most pressing open problems in physical oceanography: how energy cascades toward the small scales to fuel turbulent mixing, one of the main drivers of the large-scale overturning circulation with huge impacts on the Earth’s climate. Mixing scales are below the resolution of ocean circulation models, and the current parameterizations are static and empirical, resulting in high uncertainty in model outputs.Internal waves (IWs) represent the crucial conduit of energy from the large-scale forcings, such as winds or tides, down to the mixing scales. A grand challenge to upgrade the models’ quality is to leverage the physical properties of this IW interscale energy hub to reach a quantitative understanding of mixing based on the ocean’s equations instead of on empirical numbers.To do so, OPPIWaM sets up an unprecedented multilevel investigation of the physics of IW-driven mixing, with three main objectives: 1. Develop a first-principle solver for the IW interscale dynamics; 2. Develop reduced-model dynamical approximations to provide interpretation as opposed to a black-box package; 3. Constrain the first-principle and reduced-model dynamics with high-resolution field studies and global observational datasets. Finally, OPPIWaM’s findings will integrate into a dynamical first-principle component ready for implementation in the models. The groundbreaking approach to achieve the objectives hinges upon concurring revolutions in theory (wave turbulence recent breakthroughs), (clustering and equation learning) algorithmic efficiency and availability, and (Argo-led) ocean-observation paradigm change.High stakes for climate and cutting-edge theoretical, numerical and observational chal

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Pedestrian pre-crash reactions and their effects on crash outcomes' (PEDPCREACT).

assistant: **Innovation**

Under perceived risk such as an imminent pedestrian accident, basic human survival instinct can result in sudden involuntary reactions which eventually affect muscle activity, posture and location just before and during the pedestrian impact. Consequently, pedestrian kinematics, kinetics and injuries could differ from that of predicted using passive human surrogates such as cadaver, dummy or passive numerical models. This could have multiple consequences as the procedures currently used to design and evaluate the performance of safety systems are based on such passive responses. For example, it could lead to complete failure of a safety system due to an inadequate posture or to underestimation of an injury risk in lack of additional muscle forces. Furthermore, increase in frailty, functional disorders and decline in visual, cognitive, sensory and reactive abilities with aging could affect these reactions. This could be important to consider as the elder population is significant portion of pedestrian fatalities. Thus the objectives of this project are to investigate: (1) Is reaction of a subject placed in pedestrian accident situation able to modify the outcome of accident in terms of kinematics and injury risk? (2) Are age related changes in reaction behaviour (i.e. reaction time and muscle force capacity) important to consider in this context? This project will be separated in two major tasks i.e. experiment and computer simulations. Tests will be performed with human volunteers of two different age groups (elderly and young). Their postural and muscular reactions to sudden audio-visual perturbations will be captured. Tests will be done in a controlled lab setting using non-impacting simplified setups to avoid risk to volunteer. Test results will then be used as initi

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Understanding mechanisms regulating endoplasmic reticulum dynamics in hippocampal synaptic plasticity', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Dendritic spines are microdomains with dynamic distribution of ionotropic glutamate receptors and associated proteins involved in synaptic transmission. In the hippocampus, two forms of long-lasting changes in synaptic activity — long-term potentiation and long-term depression (LTD) — are thought to underlie learning and memory processes. Of the three ionotropic glutamate receptors, it is the AMPA receptor (AMPAR) that mediates the majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmissions in spines. Most AMPARs are calcium impermeable. The incorporation of AMPAR GluA2 subunit is important for this functional characteristic and this occurs before the exit from endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER is dynamically distributed in subpopulations of hippocampal dendritic spines. These ER-containing spines can play important roles in many neuronal functions, and ER expulsion from spines is likely to affect spine signaling and plasticity. But whilst research on receptor trafficking and the associated postsynaptic protein complex has greatly advanced our understanding on LTD, the contribution of spine ER dynamics has been over-looked. In this connection, the present proposal aims to test the hypothesis that dynamic ER distribution in spines can contribute to synaptic plasticity by elucidating whether there are any common mechanisms regulating AMPAR GluA2 subunits and ER dynamics in relation to metabotropic glutamate receptor dependent LTD induction. This is a novel approach and requires combination of advanced live-cell imaging and electrophysiological recordings to study how the structural and functional plasticity in a single spine accords with the dynamic change in ER and the intracellular molecular events. It is anticipated that this research will shed insights into the physiologies and p

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Dissecting neuronal degeneration: Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses from genes to function' (NCL-MODELS) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (NCLs) compose the most common type of inherited progressive encephalopathies in children. They are characterized by progressive death of cortical neurons and thus these rare diseases provide an excellent model to characterize molecular events resulting in neuronal degeneration. Using genomic approaches we have identified six out of seven proteins underlying NCLs: PPT1, CLN3, CLN5, CLN6, CLN8, and cathepsin D, the deficiencies of which result in neurodegenerative disorders with clinical features varying from an infantile lethal disease to relatively late onset neuropathological symptoms. Despite identification of these proteins the pathogenetic mechanisms of NCLs remain unclear. The underlying disease mechanisms must, however, be crucial to the survival of neurons. Consequently, this proposal is devoted to reveal the molecular pathways involved in NCL, the final goal being better understanding of the processes resulting in neuronal death. We will generate and use novel models for NCL: cell, yeast, nematode and mouse models at the cellular, tissue and whole organism level. Our first task will be to characterize the individual NCL proteins by studying their intracellular localization, transport and molecular interactions in neuronal cell models. The second task will be to generate and analyze yeast and nematode model organisms, which are extremely well suited for the dissection of the function of conserved NCL-proteins. The third task will be to analyze the pre-existing mouse models, mainly generated by the participants of this proposal, as well as to develop one novel mouse model for NCL. Special emphasis will be laid on the fourth task aiming to use advanced technologies of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology to address the mechanisms of neur

user: Draft an impact statement for 'New catalytic formulations for anodes of intermediate temperature direct fuel oxidation solid oxide fuel cells', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Lowering to intermediate temperatures (<750 oC) the functioning regime of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), and their operation by directly oxidizing fuels, are important objectives from the economic, environmental and energy efficiency points of view.Here a proposal is made to study new formulations for the anodes in these cells in order to overcome the deactivation problems observed in the case of anodes using nickel (due mainly to carbon deposition) and to improve the efficiency of the anodes based in C u-CeO2 composites, which are more efficient for achieving this goal.The objective is to develop composites of mixed oxides (Ce-Zr, Ce-Sm, Ce-Gd, Ce-Tb, Ce-Ca and derived ternary ones) based in the cerium oxide structure and copper alloys (e.g. with Fe and Ni) to improve the catalytic activity of the anode and the thermal stability of the copper subsystem against sintering.We propose a complete set of tasks including the materials preparation (using in the mixed oxide synthesis methods like the microemulsion-based ones for obtaining nanoparticles with maximum structural homogeneity), their physico-chemical characterization (using techniques as diffraction and electron microscopy and several spectroscopies, both ex-situ -mainly EPR, IR, Raman HREM and XPS- and under reaction conditions -XANES/EXAFS and DRIFTS-) and the measurement of their electrical properties and chemical and catalytic activities for the oxidation of several fuels (hydrogen, hydrocarbons -methane, long chain linear ones, aromatics- or alcohols), paying particular attention to their deactivation and using kinetic measurements for the study of the reaction mechanisms.Finally, full single-cells will be prepared integrating the thus developed anodes with latest generation ceramic electrolytes an d cathode ma

user: Describe how 'Public policy for urban recycling: a comparison within europe' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This study examines the role of the public sector in urban recycling. The starting point for the analysis is the observation that the process of urban recycling is both an economic process and a policy process. To fully understand when, why and how urban recycling takes place, it has therefore to be analyzed from an economic and from an institutional point of view. This provides insight into why urban recycling sometimes occurs spontaneously, driven by market forces, and other times does not work even after important efforts from the public sector. The central assumption in this study is that the public sector has to use market forces to successfully undertake processes of urban recycling. The study aims at demonstrating the validity of this assumption, and proposing forms of urban governance that allow for successful urban recycling. The main activities in the study are: - review and assessment of previous empirical research;- examination and comparison of policies for urban recycling in France and the Netherlands;- case studies of processes of urban recycling in France and the Netherlands;- comparison and synthesis of results and identification of key economic and institutional characteristics of urban recycling;- identification of obstacles, opportunities, and responsibilities associated with urban recycling;- identification of wider implications of the research results for public policy for urban recycling.
