user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'HIGHLY RELIABLE PV APPLICATIONS IN REGIONS OF THE EUROPEAN ALPS' (EURALP).

assistant: **Innovation**

In the frame of this proposal we intend to demonstrate high reliable PV applications in regions of the European Alps (EURALP) with the help of advanced tele-monitoring and control systems. The project consist of 22 subprojects in the range of 1-5 kWp located in mountain regions all over Europe. Involved will be the German Alpine Club (DAV), Serveis Energetics Basic Autonoms (SEBA) from Spain and the Austrian Alpine Club (OEAV).All the proposed systems are stand alone energy supplies for existing mountain lodges in very remote areas. The objects are of great touristic interest and visited by thousands of people each year. Main objective will be the reduction of pollution and noise in natural reserve areas as well as the avoidance of net-CO2 emission. Some of the existing diesel generator sets will be replaced within this project by rape-oil generator sets. The high reliability will be reached by the application at advanced telemonitoring control systems.Within the EURALP project we intend to demonstrate advanced and high reliable PV systems in regions of the European Alps, were many lightning strikes caused failure or even destroyed the main electronic parts of the systems. This will be reached by implementing an intelligent tele-monitoring system combined with an innovative lightning detection and warning system which is already working in Austria. Since the 22 subprojects are different in their sizes, their power requirements and their natural resources it is impossible to design a standard hybrid system. For that reason it is planned to install at all sites the same advanced energy management system in combination with the monitoring equipment. The total installed PV peak power will be 65 kW.This allows to implement the same control strategy of priority dependent util

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Control of terminal differentiation in dictyostelium discoideum' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

PROPOSAL ABSTRACT The Dictyostelium fruiting body assumes its final shape due to the ordered maturation of prestalk and prespore cells during culmination. Prestalks mature into stalk cells at the growing tip of the stalk and prespores into spores when the stalk is about half completed. An unknown inductive signal is implicated in both cases. Mutants have been identified in the host laboratory where stalk and spore cells differentiate prematurely . Two of the mutated genes are: (1) regulatory subunit of pkA; (2) a composite protein (regA) with phosphodiesterase and response-regulator domains, the latter characteristic of histidine kinase / two-component systems. Thus it is proposed that terminal differentiation is controlled through a histidine kinase and cAMP phosphodiesterase that regulate pkA activity. I wish to discover more about this regulatory pathway. First, I shall study the regA protein, to determine whether phosphorylation activates or inactivates the phosphodiesterase and I shall determine the phenotype of cells expressing the activated form of the protein. Second, I shall use insertional mutagenesis and a poweful selection to identify further mutants of the regA class. These will be studied and the genes cloned by conventional techniques. Third, I shall seek mutants with phenotypes similar to that of activated-regA, to identify positively acting components of the pathway. I already have a good grounding in biochemistry and I now wish to learn molecular genetic techniques and expand my interests to the development of Dictyostelium, in which the host laboratory is a world-leader. I also hope to benefit by experiencing a different scientific culture.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'A worldwide e-Infrastructure for NMR and structural biology' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Structural biology and life sciences in general, and NMR in particular, have always been associated with advanced computing. The current challenges in the post-genomic era, with their focus on biomolecular interactions, call for virtual research platforms that provide the worldwide research community with both user-friendly tools, platforms for data analysis and exchange, and an underlying e-infrastructure.<br/>The WeNMR project will group different research teams into a virtual research community at a worldwide level. It builds on the established eNMR e-Infrastructure tightly integrated into the EGEE and its steadily growing virtual organization currently representing the second largest VO in the life science area. WeNMR will consolidate the operation of the current services and provide an e-Infrastucture platform and structural biology Science Gateway towards EGI for the users of existing infrastructures. It will involve researchers from around the world and will build bridges to other areas of structural biology.  Integration with a rapidly growing and highly complementary method, SAXS, is directly included in WeNMR, but links will also be established to related cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography initiatives. WeNMR will serve all relevant INSTRUCT communities in line with the ESFRI roadmap.<br/>From an e-infrastructure viewpoint, WeNMR will strengthen the European ties with National Grid Initiatives, the new EGI and PRACE initiatives toward an effective sharing of the offered service. Collaborations will be established with the Asian, South-African, South- and North-American GRID initiatives, in close contact with the existing EC projects, to extend and open the WeNMR Life-Science Gateway at global level. WeNMR will establish and promote best practices in life science

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Renewable Energy EMPOWERing European and InDian communities' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The “RE-EMPOWERED” project aims to develop and demonstrate novel tools to provide a complete solution for all stages of a Microgrid/Energy Island and Multi-Microgrid applications. The tools include energy planning ranging from the design of Microgrids from scratch to the upgrade of existing installation to high RES systems. Planning will be guided by decision making about the generation size and other infrastructure parameters, based on economical and reliability criteria. Advanced Energy Management tools and solutions, building on existing proven technologies developed within other EU projects, will be further developed to achieve optimal operation of larger and smaller energy systems considering Demand Side Management (DSM) capabilities. In addition, management tools will exploit synergies with other available energy carriers, including electricity, heating, cooling, water, waste, e-mobility, etc. taking into account availability, operational, security, and reserve constraints. These will be demonstrated to leverage on the advantages  load management offers, like greater flexibility and more efficient use of energy infrastructure and resources. From the citizen perspective, this entails the cultivation of higher efficiency mentality and self-sufficiency by an autonomous energy supply culture, when relevant. Concrete actions will be taken for customer driven approaches, supported by dynamic pricing, the establishment of local energy communities and local community training. A specialized tool will be developed and demonstrated to support active involvement of citizens in their own energy generation and management. Moreover dedicated converters, electric vehicles and resilient infrastructures will be developed. All the above-mentioned tools and solutions will be demonst

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Integrated Crossbar of Microelectromechanical Selectors and Non-Volatile Memory Devices for Neuromorphic Computing', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Building artificial neuronal networks (ANN) that mimic their biological prototypes is one of the remaining grand challenges in computing. Despite transistor scaling and improved architectures, modern supercomputers require kWs of power to replicate functionality for which living neural networks take only a few Ws. Currently there is no hardware that can provide a high synaptic density with reasonable energy consumption. Hybrid CMOS chips with stacked crossbars of analog non-volatile memory devices (NVM), like memristors, promise to deliver the required high density and connectivity. However, the crossbar architecture suffers from the sneak path problem, neighbouring devices creating electrical shorts around the selected device. Biological systems do not have this problem due to the inherent nonlinearity of their potentiation and spiking. A high nonlinearity can be reproduced in a crossbar by using a selector for each memory device. The selector commonly used is a transistor which limits the scalability and stackability. This project proposes an alternative selector based on a two-terminal MEMS switch. MEMS switches are heavily researched for RF applications, but their high nonlinearity makes them attractive as selectors for NVM. This project will design, simulate and fabricate a crossbar of integrated MEMS selectors and TiO2 memristor devices. Initially, the selectors and memristors will be optimized separately, then monolithically integrated. Their scalability and stackability will be investigated. Finally, a prototype 3x3 crossbar of integrated memristor/MEMS selectors will be fabricated and used to demonstrate vector matrix multiplication - a foundational element of many complex ANNs like a perceptron. The proposed work is not linked to a particular NVM (ReRAM is an

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Independent Living for Today's Society: Understanding the Elderly and Disabled for Tomorrows Inclusive Smart Home Solution'.

assistant: **Innovation**

With a growing trend in the uptake of advanced ICTs to assist in everyday tasks; ubiquitous computing is an integral part of the modern European society. However, those who are either incapacitated or elderly are often unable to take advantage of the opportunities offered by ICT. The dynamic nature and changing demands of the future European society is inevitably going to have socio-economic implications - with social inclusion at the forefront. Home automation is a $1.3bn industry with an estimated market value of $10bn by 2010, however the smart home market is an area with limited flexibility for the changing European society. The current solutions are expensive and require extensive expertise for operation. The market itself is fragmented, with the dominating players residing in the USA and Middle-East, as are the contributing devices/interfaces to the technology with little or no consideration for differing needs and abilities of the end-user. The Digital Smart Home Solution (DSHS) is a home automation system that will act as the ‘glue’ to integrate third-party devices compliant with the EIB/KNX communication standards. It will do so by providing a low-cost server architecture – the central intelligence unit (CIU) – comprising of a physical server (interfacing the devices), a software-based service gateway with underlying artificial intelligence capable of adapting the system to the intended user(s) and environment, and a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). Current limitations lie within ascertaining the system requirements of the disabled and elderly for such as system, as well as allowing the retro-fitting of third-party devices to become compliant with the DSHS. Furthermore, specific user-system interaction will need to be further investigated to provid

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Stretching - a material saving post processing of plastic products' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of the research is to develop, test and implement a new process, stretching, which can stretch plastic materials biaxially, i.e in radial as well as axial direction. When developed and implemented the new manufacturing process will make existing traditional and advanced materials more widely avaiable to a broad range of industries, where it will replace materials with less ideal properties, especially with respect to environment, resource consumption and work hazards. The research project will specially focus on materials in the medical sector, alternatives to PVC and Latex. The new process will be developed to be able to process expensive engineering plastics in a way, that the end product will comprise a very small amount of plastic only, due to the axial or biaxial orientation of the material. Examples of products are, medical tubing, medical bags (blood, IV, etc) catheters and medical devices, syringes, medical bottles and containers.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Planet Evaporation as a Window into Exoplanetary Origins' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Modern astronomy has truly entered the exoplanet era. Although our knowledge of what planet formation produces has grown immensely thanks to observational advances, our actual understanding of the physical processes that give rise to planets and planetary systems is limited. We now know most stars are unlike our own Sun, in that they host planets which orbit around their star with periods of months or shorter, yet many have volatile rich atmospheres. These planets must result from a dominant (if not the dominant) mode of planet formation, yet they were completely missing from our planet formation theories a decade ago.Planets which are close to their parent star are extremely vulnerable to mass-loss through evaporation, where UV/X-ray photons can heat their upper atmospheres to close to the escape temperature, causing them to lose-mass. Recently, I have played a leading role in showing that evaporation drives the evolution of the observed exoplanet population. Thus, the observed exoplanet population is not representative of the one at birth; to use it as a probe of planet formation we must understand evaporation. However, the evaporation of highly-irradiated planetary atmospheres is not well understood. This especially true for terrestrial planets where the atmospheres are dominated by heavy elements. My team will use a combination of theory, simulations and observations to build the first global and comprehensive models of exoplanet evaporation. In doing this, my team will use evaporation as a window into planet formation by answering the following key questions:1 What are the mass-loss rates and evaporative flow structures for the full spectrum of observed planets?2 How can we use observations of evaporating planets to learn about their compositions and histories?3 Ho

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Identification of functional common and rare variants in the CD40 signaling pathway in Rheumatoid Arthritis'.

assistant: **Concept**

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a common chronic autoimmune disease that affects approximately 1% of the adult population worldwide.Although its causes are largely unknown, it is clear that there is a considerable heritable component. In 2007, three genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as well as candidate gene approaches successfully increased the number of RA gene loci from two to five. More recently, a meta-analysis of these GWAS has been completed (Nature Genetics, in press). The most significant finding outside of the known RA risk loci was of a common polymorphism near the CD40 gene (odds ratio = 0.87, p = 5.1 x 10-9). While this represents a true disease gene, several questions remain to be answered to fully comprehend the role of CD40 mutations in RA pathogenesis. While this study provides direct evidence that CD40 is critical in RA pathogenesis, at least three crucial questions remain: 1) what is the exact common causal mutation? 2) Are there rare mutations that contribute to disease not accounted for in the genome-wide studies as they are designed to identify common mutations? 3) What is the biological relevance of both types of CD40 mutations? My proposed research will address these three critical questions by applying next generation genetic technologies (e.g., high-throughput Solexa sequencing) in large RA case-control collections available in the Plenge laboratory at Harvard Medical School (Outgoing Host Institute), together with functional immunology available in the Huizinga laboratory at Leiden University Medical Center (Return Host Institute). To achieve my goals, genetic and immunological resources will be combined to identify, validate and functionally characterise both common and rare functional mutations involved in the establishment of RA.
