user: Explain how 'Integrating European Infrastructure to support science and development of Hydrogen- and Fuel Cell Technologies towards European Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) recognizes in its roadmap for Research Infrastructures that ""in the near future, hydrogen, as an energy carrier derived from a number of other fuels, and fuel cells, as energy transformers, are expected to play a major role, for mobile and stationary applications"". With the current fragmentation of the European R&D infrastructures and the uncoordinated approaches adopted, the demand for effective support of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells (H2FC) technology developers cannot be satisfied. Therefore this proposal is built to integrate the European R&D community around rare and/or unique infrastructural elements that will facilitate and significantly enhance the R&D outcome. H2FCEuropean Infrastructure addresses the topic INFRA-2011-1.1.16 “Research Infrastructures for H2FC Facilities” and the related energy-chains, by bringing together, for the first time in Europe, the leading European R&D institutions of the H2 community together with those of the fuel cell community, covering the entire life-cycle of H2FC, i.e. hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and final use in fuel cells. The three pillars of the proposal are networking, transnational access and joint research activities. All are strongly interrelated and oriented towards the resolution of identified bottlenecks. The aim is to provide:• A single integrated virtual infrastructure accommodating H2FC test and analysis facilities•Transnational access for the H2FC R&D communities to advanced infrastructures• Expert working groups to enhance work at the provided facilities and coordination in aspects of safety, performance and durability• Central databases and libraries for safety, performance and durability data and modelling codes• Coordination of rel

Marteilia detection in co-habitants using the claire/Ostrea model II.2. Marteilia detection in co-habitants using the raftlMytilus modelSince 1968, Marteilia refringens has caused serious and recurrent mortalities in the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) (Alderman, 1979) and continues nowadays to cause high mortalities in the Atlantic coast of France (Grizel, 1985; Anonymous, 1990).Under the EEC Council directive 91/67 this parasite is included in list II of Annex A. This list includes serious pathogens causing important losses for the European shellfish aquaculture industry, that should be obligatory declared. An area where flat oysters or mussels are infected with any of these parasites will not be allowed to export to another area free of this disease.The diagnoses of the two species of Marteilia found in Europe (Marteilia refringens and Marteilia maurini) was done using ultrastructural characteristics and host specificity (Grizel 1974 et al., Comps et al., 1982, Figueras and Montes, 1988). However, it is not possible to establish whether one, two, or more species of Marteilia exist in bivalve molluscs in Europe. There is an urgent need to set up more sensitive and accurate methods to allow the detection of low prevalence of Marteilia and to clarify the taxono

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Modular wood-made wind turbine towers' (Modvion).

assistant: **Concept**

Modvion AB is a company founded in 2016 with the purpose of developing and constructing a wood-made modular wind turbine tower. Further to its founding, the Modvion team grew constantly, highly specialized people joining the company. This led to the development of our first patent and to other patent application with pending status.We are bringing to market a modular wind turbine tower made from laminated wood (LVL). Our technology allows towers to have a larger diameter base which increases its strength properties and supports a larger tower. By using engineered wood such as LVL, we are able to develop a structure 53% stronger than its steel counterpart and be part of getting wind turbines to even larger heights. Our turbine tower can go well beyond 150 meters in height and can support a 350 tons heavy nacelle and turbine. Our turbine tower outperforms existing solutions on the market, such as steel and concrete wind towers, in terms of specific strength, operational costs, maximum height and many more.In terms of environmental impact, our product shows a zero impact and, compared to alternatives, this impact goes well beyond what is available on the market. As a system made of wood, our turbine tower hold the CO2 captured by trees during their growth and trapped in the tower. The amount of CO2 trapped in a Vultus tower is of 2,000 tons (in a 150-meter tower)The main target of this Phase 1 is to improve our business plan, focusing on updating a previous market assessment. We want to update our business model based on the changes in the renewables market, with risk and IP assessment as secondary analyses.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Closing in on Runx3 and CXCL4 to open novel avenues for therapeutic intervention in systemic sclerosis'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease that culminates in excessive extra-cellular matrix deposition (fibrosis) in skin and internal organs. SSc is a severe disease in which fibrotic events lead to organ failure such as renal failure, deterioration of lung function and development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Together, these disease hallmarks culminate in profound disability and premature death.Over the past three years several crucial observations by my group changed the landscape of our thinking about the ethiopathogenesis of this disease.  First, plasmacytoid dendritic (pDCs) cells were found to be extremely frequent in the circulation of SSc patients (1000-fold) compared with healthy individuals. In addition, we observed that pDCs from SSc patients are largely dedicated to synthesize CXCL4 that was proven to be directly implicated in fibroblast biology and endothelial cell activation, two events recapitulating SSc. Finally, research aimed to decipher the underlying cause of this increased pDCs frequency led to the observation that Runx3, a transcription factor that controls the differentiation of DC subsets, was almost not expressed in pDC of SSc patients. Together, these observations led me to pose the “SSc immune postulate” in which the pathogenesis of SSc is explained by a multi-step process in which Runx3 and CXCL4 play a central role.The project CIRCUMVENT is designed to provide proof of concept for the role of CXCL4 and RUNX3 in SSc. For this aim we will exploit a unique set of patient material (cell subsets, protein and DNA bank), various recently developed in vitro techniques (siRNA for pDCs, viral over expression of CXCL4/RUNX3) and apply three recently optimised experimental models (CXCL4 subcutaneous pump model, DC specific RUNX3 K

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Online Class Imbalance Learning for Fault Diagnosis of Critical Infrastructure Systems'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of the project is to design and develop an online learning-based fault diagnosis engine with adaptation capabilities. This engine will monitor and analyse data arriving in real time from critical infrastructure (CI) systems, to accurately detect a potential fault and effectively isolate and identify its exact location. Modern society relies heavily on the availability and smooth operation of CI systems, such as electrical power systems, water distribution systems and telecommunication networks. In such large-scale, complex engineering systems when a failure occurs due to faults, it can have severe societal, health and economic consequences. The sequential arrival of data in CI systems calls for a fault diagnosis engine with adaptive behaviour to achieve and maintain optimal performance. However, the vast majority of existing work falls short on this requirement. This project will incorporate online learning capabilities to achieve adaptability and will also address class imbalance, a major challenge for learning systems, arising from the fact that faults are low probability events. Online class imbalance learning (OCIL) is an emerging research topic focusing on the combined challenges of online learning and class imbalance. We will shed light on supervised OCIL as very few methods currently deal with this problem and address for the first time the unsupervised and semi-supervised OCIL problems. The proposed algorithms will be evaluated in realistic fault diagnosis datasets from industrial partners and in an advanced Smart Buildings simulator allowing us to run sensor fault scenarios in large-scale multi-zone buildings. Furthermore, a prototype on sensor fault diagnosis will be delivered that will be evaluated on a physical Smart Buildings testbed to enable its e

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Compatibility of Agricultural Management Practices  and Types of Farming in the EU to enhance Climate Change Mitigation and Soil Health'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The Catch-C project assesses the farm-compatibility of ‘Best Management Practices’ (BMPs) that aim to promote productivity, climate change mitigation, and soil quality. These are the three overall goals of sustainable soil management. Catch-C will first (WP2) set up a typology of the main farm types and agro-ecological zones across Europe. This frame, coupled to a pan-European database of socio-economic and biophysical data, will be used for spatially organising the information collected on current management; and for up-scaling the impacts expected from changes in management. Biophysical impacts of management practices will be assessed (WP3) primarily from a large set of current field experiments, executed by the participants. BMPs will be formulated, along with their trade-offs and synergies between productivity, climate change mitigation, and soil quality. Farmers, however, often do not adopt BMPs. Identifying the barriers against adoption, and formulating ways to remove these, are core activities of the project (WP4). Catch-C will survey farmer views on BMPs in all participant countries, assess costs  and benefits of implementation, identify technical and ecological bottlenecks preventing adoption, develop a decision support tool, and prioritize innovation requirements to address bottlenecks. Policy measures can promote adoption in various ways, such as voluntary measures, regulation, and economic incentives. In interaction with policy makers, Catch-C will develop (WP5) guidelines for policies that will support the adoption of BMPs; and that are consistent with regional agro-ecological and farming contexts. Dissemination (WP6) includes scientific publication; discussing project results with farmers and policy makers; making information about BMPs and their adoption

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Categorified Donaldson-Thomas Theory' (CatDT).

assistant: **Concept**

According to string theory, coherent sheaves on three-dimensional Calabi-Yau spaces encode fundamental properties of the universe. On the other hand, they have a purely mathematical definition. We will develop and use the new field of categorified Donaldson-Thomas (DT) theory, which counts these objects. Via the powerful perspective of noncommutative algebraic geometry, this theory has found application in recent years in a wide variety of contexts, far from classical algebraic geometry.Categorification has proved tremendously powerful across mathematics, for example the entire subject of algebraic topology was started by the categorification of Betti numbers.  The categorification of DT theory leads to the replacement of the numbers of DT theory by vector spaces, of which these numbers are the dimensions. In the area of categorified DT theory we have been able to prove fundamental conjectures upgrading the famous wall crossing formula and integrality conjecture in noncommutative algebraic geometry. The first three projects involve applications of the resulting new subject:1. Complete the categorification of quantum cluster algebras, proving the strong positivity conjecture.2. Use cohomological DT theory to prove the outstanding conjectures in the nonabelian Hodge theory of Riemann surfaces, and the subject of Higgs bundles.3. Prove the comparison conjecture, realising the study of Yangian quantum groups and the geometric representation theory around them as a special case of DT theory.The final objective involves coming full circle, and applying our recent advances in noncommutative DT theory to the original theory that united string theory with algebraic geometry: 4. Develop a generalised theory of categorified DT theory extending our results in noncommutative DT theo

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Europe’s Rail Flagship Project 6 - Delivering Innovative rail services to revitalise capillary lines and Regional rail services' to be submitted under FP6.

assistant: **Abstract**

Regional railway (lines with lower usage or secondary network) plays a crucial role not only in serving European regions, but also as feeders for passenger and freight traffic for the main/core network. Therefore, they have an essential function as an environmentally friendly mode of transport. In addition is as well essential their link to other public transport services (e.g. bus) and to first and last mile services, such as bikesharing, cycling, walking or driving to get from/to stations to remote locations. Unfortunately, many of these routes were abandoned in the past - mainly due to high costs. Therefore, these rail lines need to be revitalized or even renewed to make them economically, socially and environmentally sustainable and to meet current customer needs and challengesThe overall objectives of the FutuRe project are to ensure the long-term viability of the regional railway by reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO), while ensuring high service quality and operational reliability. It also aims to increase customer satisfaction and to make rail an attractive and preferred mode of transport. Therefore, the main objectives of FutuRe are: lowering CAPEX system costs, increasing productivity by lowering OPEX (unit costs per train kilometre), and improving customer satisfaction.These goals are to be achieved through a concept tailored to regional railways but transferable across Europe, encompassing digitalisation, automation and the use of common and new technologies for signalling and track components, rolling stock and customer information. Cost drivers such as infrastructure and energy components, e.g. trackside train detection (axle counters, etc.) and level crossing control systems, will be replaced by less costly wireless and energy-autonomous components

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators for energy harvesting' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Energy harvesting (EH) from ambient vibrations originating from sources such as moving parts of machines, fluid flow and even body movement, has enormous potential for small-power applications such as wireless sensors, flexible, portable and wearable electronics, and bio-medical implants, to name a few. Nanoscale piezoelectric energy harvesters, also known as nanogenerators (NGs), can directly convert small scale ambient vibrations into electrical energy. Scavenging power from ubiquitous vibrations in this way offers an attractive route to supersede fixed power sources such as batteries that need replacing/recharging, and that do not scale with the diminishing size of modern electronics. This proposal aims to develop NGs for future self-powered smart devices. Ceramics such as lead zirconium titanate and semiconductors such as zinc oxide are the most widely used piezoelectric EH materials. This proposal however focuses on a different class of piezoelectric materials, namely ferroelectric polymers, such as polyvinlyidene fluoride (PVDF), its copolymers, and nylon. These are potentially superior EH materials as they are flexible, robust, lightweight, easy and cheap to fabricate, as well as being lead-free and bio-compatible. The key strategy of this proposal is in combining i) materials engineering to create novel piezoelectric polymer-ceramic nanocomposite materials with enhanced EH functionalities, ii) state-of-the art nanoscale characterization to explore and exploit these novel materials, and iii) fabrication of high performance NGs for implementation into commercial devices, using insight gained from modelling of materials and device parameters. The proposed research will culminate in a well-defined process for the large-scale production of highly efficient and low co

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Engineering Carbon Nanodots for (Nano)Technological and Biomedical Applications' (Nano) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

e-DOTS takes advantage of nanoscale and process-intensification principles, information technology and automation/robotics to translate molecular properties to nanoparticles for use in technologically advanced challenges, ranging from high-quality bioimaging to green catalysis in water. A stringent molecular control over the synthesis and multivalent properties of “carbon nanodots”, 2-5 nm spherical nanoparticles, will allow us to shape a nanofabrication space with engineered functions. The core-shell structure of carbon nanodots, consisting of a confined core and an outer functional shell can be rationally designed by controlled chemical approaches and by a tailored choice of the proper starting materials.e-DOTS scientific objectives are planned to go beyond the state of the art, with the aim to:(i) elucidate the mechanism and the structural details in the conversion of small molecules to nanoparticles;(ii) expand the carbon nanodots preparation process window and allow its automated exploration, directed at ambitious targets;(iii) design and prepare carbon nanodots with tailored properties – in terms of size, charge, luminescence, chirality, and outer-shell functions – outperforming current technologies in green catalysis and biomedical imaging.(iv) investigate and ensure the safety profile of carbon nanodots in a safe-by-design approach.e-DOTS is a highly interdisciplinary project, based on frontier methods that the Prato group has successfully designed for the molecular modification of very diverse carbon nanostructures. Delving into fundamental aspects of carbon nanodots will allow to unfold their full potential in technological and biological applications.e-DOTS will thus offer unprecedented opportunities to the scientific community, since the specific molecular p
