user: Explain how 'The Roots of Civility. French Renaissance literature as a laboratory of modern civility' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Renaissance men and women had a passion for virtue and a genius for cruelty. They had wonderful manners and barbaric inclinations, lovely clothes and terrible diseases. Can they really teach us something about civility? I think they can: they were made of contradictions and so are we. And both, we and they, dream of a society where politeness and respect reduce tensions and allow a peaceful and pleasant cohabitation for all. The goal of this research project, executed at the University of Lille under the supervision of Marie-Claire Thomine, is to prove that the roots of civility go back to the 16th century and that there was a mature form of civility in the Renaissance France a century before what is usually considered to be the beginning of the 'politesse française'. I will identify its main models and situate them in relation to the previous (medieval) ones and those from the century of Louis XIV. I will argue that Renaissance authors used the literature as the principal means of wide diffusion of this new civility, and this is precisely what makes this century a turning point in the history of manners in France and a part of the cultural reform initiated by the kings and queens of France to build a more cohesive and peaceful society. Furthermore, I want also to prove that this evolution can be observed using the modern tools of historical pragmatics, a branch of pragmatics that had developed strongly over the last twenty years but was not yet used to study the phenomenon of (im)politeness in France during the Renaissance. I will accomplish those goals through a program of close reading of prose texts (essentially literary dialogues and collections of short stories) of the 15th and 16th centuries, informed by the literature of civility, and through corpus-based resear

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'A low-cost IoT - solution for predictive maintenance of small electric motors towards the Factory of the Future' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Electric motors are one of the main components in industries, thus knowing their health state exploiting predictive maintenance programs is nowadays more than necessary in the vision of the Factory of the Future. The correct application of these programs will reduce the repairing costs and the unplanned downtime, will generate savings in employees’ time and will optimise the energy consumption. So far, only expensive and bulky monitoring equipments, targeted to costly electric motors (e.g., carbon mills on power plants), are available on the market. These systems provide raw data that can be only manipulated by specialists. For these reasons, large firms currently may only implement predictive maintenance programs on costly electric motors and in that case they must employ experts capable of understanding the data provided by these systems. However, the large part of active industrial motors is small-medium sized and, for these reasons, are unmonitored. These motors are usually a key asset in SMEs’ production process. In this proposal, we aim at the “predictive maintenance democratisation”, i.e. a shift of its benefits also to smaller size motors. This can be done with a low-cost and easy-to-use system based on Internet of Things technologies. Particularly, we aim at improving and evaluating the market potential of a system capable to process, automatically understand motors’ health states and warn the end user in a simple manner, thus providing its benefits to both large firms and SMEs.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The impact of Chinese Acquisitions on the Luxury Made in Italy' (2007-2013) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The competitiveness of the luxury Made in Italy is in question. Traditionally Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has flowed from the advanced developed economies into developed and developing countries. More recently a new trend has emerged in the pattern of FDI. Outward bound FDI from emerging economies has begun to increase significantly and has been growing at a faster pace than FDI from the advanced developed world. The proposed project aims to critically assess the impact of Chinese acquisitions on the luxury Made in Italy sector and its stakeholders. The project is multidisciplinary as it draws on the disciplines of International Business, Operations Management, Fashion Management and Marketing. The overall goal of the project is to establish and implement a substantial research agenda that will assist policy makers in responding to this trend and will be of value to all stakeholders in the luxury industry as they face this facet that inevitably globalization entails.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Role of the p53-effector gene Gadd45 as tumor suppressor and/or autoimmune disease suppressor gene' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Concept**

The Gadd45 family plays a critical role in several cellular functions, including genomic stability, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Gadd45a is transcriptionally activated by the tumour suppressor gene p53, which is mutated in more than 50% of human tumours. Studies performed by the applicant have demonstrated that Gadd45a is an important negative regulator of T cell proliferation. Lack of Gadd45a leads to the development of an autoimmune disease remarkably similar to human lupus. Little is known about the molecular mechanism that leads to this autoimmune disease, which affects approximately 0.5% of the world's population. Recently, the applicant demonstrated that T cells derived from Gadd45a-null mice showed constitutive p38 activation, hyper-proliferative response and lower threshold of activation leading to lupus. Gadd45a is a p38 inhibitor in T cells.Gadd45a prevents phosphorylation of tyr323 in p38, inhibiting its activation. The applicant has obtained a patent ¿Modulating p38 Kinase activity¿ (PCT App lication# PCT/US2005/003379) that describes how inhibition of phosphorylation of tyr323 in p38 is a key therapeutic target in autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis and some types of leukemias. The main goals of this project are a) characterization of the Gadd45 family as autoimmune disease suppressor and/or tumour suppressor genes, and b) analysis of the molecular mechanism to obtain a therapeutic target in the treatment autoimmune diseases and/or tumours.We will generate and characterize deficient murine models in Gadd45a, Gadd45b and Gadd45g and double knockouts Gadd45ab-/-, Gadd45ag-/- and Gadd45bg-/-. We will analyse proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and production of cytokines in T cells. The res

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Does Cross-border Cooperation relate to a Humanist-ETHical cOde of valueS? Theorizing the institutionalization of a cross-border governance humanist ethical code.' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Is there an ethical dimension in cross-border cooperation (CBC)? How and to what extent are peoples’ lives affected by CBC and what is the role people play in shaping the CBC social order? What are the ethical values promoted by the European Union (EU) through CBC? Although European Union border scholars and practitioners highlight how important is to consider the ethical dimension of CBC for its successful management, this dimension has been so far neglected and understudied because of the lack of an appropriate methodological and theoretical background. Thus, I aim first, to fill this academic and policy making gap by addressing these questions and by proposing a pioneering ethical-humanist approach to CBC; second, to empirically test the cross-border governance ethical code that I have recently started elaborating. I argue that the ethical dimension of CBC needs to be scrutinized since border spaces are part and parcel of human activities and precisely because they are ‘human’, they must be structured and governed in an ethical manner. And the CBG ethical-code elaborated here is the necessary lynchpin to boost/strengthen integration. It is normatively important to institutionally determine whether ethical values such as trust, obligations, responsibility, solidarity and gift on which social exchange is grounded are considered by policy makers and stakeholders operating on CBC policies. The outcome of this analysis is an original, alternative modern CBC roadmap that promotes social conditions through which human beings as well as their natural environment can harmoniously develop through the fulfillment of specific needs. Finally, through CBC-ETHOS I will show ‘how’ and ‘to what extent’ multi-scalar (private and public) (non)government levels change themselves in thei

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Parameterized Algorithms and Polyhedra'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Polyhedral techniques allow the powerhouse of linear programming to be used for the discrete problems in combinatorial optimization. Their impact on commercial solvers, the theory of classical algorithms, as well as approximation algorithms, is well established. Nevertheless, these techniques play only a marginal role in mainstream research on parameterized algorithms. Recent advances, many of which are due to the PI, are showing potential for a revolutionary synergy between parameterized algorithms and polyhedral techniques. This project aims to unlock the full power of this synergy and use it to address several pressing open questions in combinatorial optimization. The work plan consists of three complementary directions:I. Exploring new frontiers for polyhedral techniques in parameterized algorithms, in particular, the novel usage of proximity bounds to obtain FPT algorithms. We will specifically investigate the open question of whether bin packing in the number of item sizes is in FPT.II. Closing notorious loose ends in existing research lines, in particular, the lack of polyhedral understanding of algebraic methods in matroid problems.III. Embracing parameterization to strengthen polyhedral techniques in approximation algorithms. Specifically, we will investigate an innovative technique crucial for understanding the approximability of scheduling on unrelated parallel machines, max-min fair allocation, and directed Steiner tree.The topics of the project are relevant for a broad spectrum of researchers from both parameterized algorithms and approximation algorithms and have the potential to bring these fields much closer together.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'NEOSONICS – First non-invasive screening medical device for infant meningitis.' (NEOSONICS) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Bacterial meningitis is one of the most serious infections for infants and children, which is associated with acute complications and chronic morbidity. Untreated bacterial meningitis is highly fatal, leaving serious neurological sequelae in survivors and crippling children for their life. Because the prognosis worsens with delayed treatment, early detection aids clinician in providing a timely intervention, to institute, appropriate antibiotic therapy. However, detection of meningitis can be challenging due to the minimum symptomology of the disease and particularly in newborns and young infants, the most vulnerable since their immunological system is yet being developed, for their inability to communicate. Paediatricians have the daily challenge of diagnosing 2.5M infants younger of one year in Europe each year who may have only fever that may be caused by an infection and, although the incidence is relatively low, it can be meningitis. The only method to detect the presence or absence of the disease is a lumbar puncture, an invasive, cumbersome and time-consuming and cost-ineffective procedure that, in industrialised countries, is negative in 95% of cases.The imperious need for quick, easy and cost-effective detection makes Neosonic (NS) a unique solution for non-invasively screen for bacterial meningitis in infants. The innovative and sophisticated precision-engineering system using high-frequency ultrasound is placed in the fontanel of the infant, the area of the skull where bones remain unwelded for babies. With the push of a button NS measures the number of White Blood Cells in the CerebroSpinal Fluid. Therefore, only if CSF WBC count is increased should an LP be performed and antibiotic treatment for meningitis be administered. Furthermore, NS allows to follow u

user: Draft an impact statement for 'INtelligent System for Processing Intensive Reaction Electrochemistry', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

This project focuses on developing and implementing an automated organic electrosynthesis process of cyclopropane rings. Electrochemical (EC) methods, which often suffering from passivation phenomena, will be applied in a continuous-flow microreactor integrated into a global chemical robot, addressing critical challenges in the field of synthetic chemistry. Cyclopropane rings are vital intermediates in organic synthesis, yet their scalable production via green and efficient methods remains underdeveloped.This study aims to optimize EC cyclopropanation with the aid of machine learning algorithms (e.g., Bayesian optimization) to refine reaction conditions and minimize electrode passivation. The key objectives include:(i) optimizing reaction parameters to maximize yields, conversion rates, and selectivity,(ii) implementing advanced machine learning tools to address and mitigate fouling—a major barrier to EC process scalability—and,(iii) developing robust numerical models to enable the scaling up of EC reactions.The integration of machine learning with EC flow synthesis is expected to enhance reaction efficiency and reproducibility, creating a framework for the systematic screening of reactions and mechanisms, thus reducing the manual experimental time required by traditional optimization methods. The EC microreactor, implemented within automated continuous-flow platforms, will facilitate dataset generation, real-time control over reaction dynamics, and material production, pushing the boundaries of electrosynthetic methodologies.The ultimate goal is to establish a versatile, high-throughput approach for synthesizing cyclopropane rings and other high-value molecules, paving the way for significant advancements in sustainable synthetic strategies and expanding the potential

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'SOFt Interfaces: control of interfacial layers for biotechnological applications'.

assistant: **Concept**

Microfluidic systems have a tremendous potential for the miniaturization and automation of bio-chemical assays. Cells or genes can be encapsulated in droplets that are manipulated, fused, analysed and sorted at high-throughput. Such systems are extremely powerful for the selection of microorganisms. To go further, I propose now to develop new types of microreactors for biotechnological assays, combining microfluidics and encapsulation. I propose to generalize droplet production to other encapsulation procedures based on SOFt-Interfaces (surfactant-laden interfaces, particle-laden interfaces, soft polymer shells, biofilms...). First, I will characterize the mechanical properties of soft interfaces using interfacial rheology methods and I will develop novel microfluidic methods for the quantitative measurements of the mechanics of microcapsules. Next, I will use microfluidics as a tool to characterize the chemical stability of the microreactors and to induce the release of the contents of the capsules by external forcing. Finally, I propose to use these new types of microreactors in order to control the adhesion of cells inside the microcontainer to develop new high-throughput screening systems for adherent cells. I also envision a novel type of self-sorting microreactor. Based on the recent developments of self-propelled droplets, I will design a system where the droplets containing the object of interest (for example a cell) would sort themselves, by controlling droplet propulsion with an enzymatic reaction. Sorting of microorganisms based on a specific activity is of considerable interest for applications in diagnostics, or selection of organisms for specific tasks. Such self-sorting microreactors would have a huge potential as a new approach to select efficient microo
