user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Pathways to Intrinsically Icephobic Surfaces'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Icing of surfaces is common in nature and technology, affecting everyday life and often causing catastrophic events. Despite progress in recent years in the area of hydrophobicity, engineered surfaces that can be employed in applications based on their intrinsic icephobicity, going beyond classical additional chemical coatings or heating treatments, are not a reality. Understanding and counteracting surface icing brings with it significant scientific challenges, which form an intersection of nucleation thermodynamics, interfacial thermofluidics and surface nanoengineering/science. This project will investigate important mesoscale phenomena (a term used here to summarily describe phenomena manifesting themselves in the spatial range from the order of a nanometer to a hundred microns), which affect the behavior of water on surfaces with respect to icing. With the resulting, unifying knowledge base, the aim is to identify pathways for the design and fabrication of a new class of intrinsically icephobic surfaces, based on their a-priori engineered composition and texture. Our aim is to identify anti-nucleation and anti-wetting phenomena, leading to surfaces having long ice nucleation time scales, low water contact and retention, and low ice adhesion. The effects of surface texture curvature on ice nucleation, local liquid confinement on freezing point depression, and mesoscale texture features on interfacial thermofluidics, have intertwined and sometimes counteracting impacts on surface icing behavior, which we aim at unraveling, to determine pathways to high performance surfaces. Connected to all this is the employment of advanced surface texture fabrication and methods to perform the necessary experiments, lending consideration to the development of such surfaces for futu

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Cell penetrating peptides: Modelling transmembrane insertion' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The lipid bilayers of biological membranes are not permeable for hydrophilic molecules under physiological conditions. However, numerous biomedical applications, such as drug delivery and gene therapy, rely on reliable way of the transmembrane translocatio n of proteins, fragments of DNA and other water-soluble compounds. Thus, the search for possible transduction agents continued for several decades. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are recognized to be amino acid sequences, which make an effective transduction of the hydrophilic molecules through the cell membrane possible.The transduction is claimed to be spontaneous and energy-independent process. This makes CPPs very attractive for numerous applications. Some of the CPPs are structural parts of natural proteins, while others are purely artificial or engineered sequences. Different molecular cargoes can cross the membrane being covalently bound to CPPs, which is already used in biomedical researches. Although the CPPs are widely studied for more then a decade, their transduction mechanism is still not understood. Several possible models are proposed, however, there are no experimental techniques, which can reveal the molecular details of the translocation process and distinguish between these models.The macroscopic transduction rates of particular CPPs are of great interest for practical applications, but cannot be easily determined experimentally. Molecular dynamics simulations provide unique opportunity to study the transduction of CPPs in atomic details and to measure the transduction rates in any desirable conditions. In the present project extensive molecular dynamics simulations of various lipid bilayers in the presence of the cell penetrating peptides will be conducted in order to observe the events of transd

user: Describe how 'Complex anti-corrosion coatings using bacterial cells' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Biologically based manufacturing could contribute significantly to the development of an energy-efficient anti-corrosion coating deposition treatment on metal substrates. The today's conventional galvanic processes are only 40-50% efficient. The main reason is the low metal complex load capacity (milk) of the galvanic bath. It is known from the biotechnology processing that bioreactors including cell factories are very efficient in both product output and in energy consumption. From metal complex waste and treatment by cell factories high yields-yields are already used. Consequently metabolic processes could have far more metal complex load capacity, which is an opportunity for this industrial process. In principle, biological containment of live bacterial cell is far more accurate because of the ease of control of the surface reactions. The aim of the project is to develop a continues bioreactor process in which the metal substrates will be treated with a metal-complex, deposit by Genetically Engineered Micro-organism (Gems). The substrate is running in a safety, closed system. Nonliving cells will be coming out of the after treatment step and the metal-complex will be properly cured.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Non Boiling two phase Microfluidics with Heat Transfer' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project with support of the CIG has provided great encouragement for me to establish myself in the UK for a life-long career in microfluidics and heat transfer based research activities. This grant will support me in my first steps of a stable European research career and to attain lasting professional integration in the ERA by evolving into a permanent position at the University of Oxford within a five year period. The CIG will provide me with a substantial research budget that will allow me to accelerate my research activities over the next four years and ensure continued participation at an international level through conferences and continued professional development thereby greatly enhancing my prospects for reaching the required level of long term integration through a permanent research/academic position at the University of Oxford which will have the highest possible impact to the success of my research career. In addition, I am a very experienced researcher and hence there will be significant scope to allow the transfer of knowledge that I have acquired prior to the Career Integration Grant. In addition the Osney group at the University of Oxford, which I will become a member of for the period of this grant and beyond, has a long list of industrial partners which will ensure the development of lasting co-operation with the scientific and/or industrial environment of the country from which they have moved. Without such actions as this CIG the potential for my future research activities could lie outside of the REA, while success in this proposal will solidify and act as a strong foundation to build a life-long research base at Oxford, and not only continue collaboration with my current employer but also with my many industrial contact and academic collaborat

user: Describe how 'Bloch electromagnetic surface wave Bio-sensors for early cancer diagnosis' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

BILOBA aims to develop and pre-clinically validate a multifunctional point-of-care platform capable of performing real-time cancer biomarker detection in a tandem configuration. The configuration exploits a label-free detection based on the resonance shifts, and the spectral analysis of enhanced fluorescence emitted by biomolecules immobilized on the surface. Utilizing both labeled and label-free analysis on one sensor increases the sensitivity and the reliability of optically read-out surface bound assays.The standard optical label-free detection is the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method. Its sensitivity suffers from the strong absorption of waves bound to the metal surface. Here, a similar concept, already at the proof of principle stage, will be advantageously implemented by applying the unique properties of Bloch Surface Waves (BSW) sustained on 1D Photonic Crystals (1DPC). Therein, a surface wave without absorption is excited, giving rise to an enormous narrowing of resonances and an associated increase in sensitivity. Furthermore, fluorescence enhancement due to near field effects will be exploited. By engineering the BSW dispersion both detection schemes will be combined.The goal of the project is to explore, design, and set-up BSW systems optimized for analytical sensing, and develop a corresponding analytical instrument. Immobilization protocols and biochemical assays have to be established for optimizing the binding site surface density and for detecting the target biomarkers. The development of a sophisticated, robust fluidic system to ensure a high signal-to-noise ratio even in the case of lowest analyte concentrations accompanies this work.The results will be applied to early cancer biomarker analysis by validating the project's results in pre-clinical

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Extending artificial intelligence revolution in the waste field beyond sorting' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Current WTPs (Waste Treatment Plants) aren’t able to recover all the valuable waste they process, indeed more valuable materials are lost and landfilled or incinerated. The reason of this wasteful spending is clear: current methods do not allow an increase in material recuperation in a cost-effective way: the incremental cost of recovering more materials is bigger than the market value of the additional materials recovered. Losses can reach 2,5M€/yr of high-value waste PET/HDPE plastics, cans, cartons). Current technologies aren’t enough to meet EU regulations like directive 2008/98/EC, which requires that 50% of household waste is recovered by 2020.Based in our 1st product (Wall-B), SADAKO has developed RUBSEE, a disruptive real-time monitoring system (using Computer vision+Artificial intelligence) of waste flows in a WTP in order to optimize the performance/operation thereof and the recovery of different materials. RUBSEE will allow waste industry improve its economic, regulatory compliance and environmental performance with a solution that is cost efficient and complementary to actual solutions. In order to address present industry need, our goal is to scale from detecting just PET to HDPE, Cans and Bricks, increase/reach detection levels for each material up to >95%, and boost its TRL from 6 to 9.An average WTP plant, processes 7tn/h of urban waste with 39% content of PET, HDPE and Cans and recovers 6000 tn/year of PET, HDPE & Cans. Thanks to RUBSEE data, current equipment performance can be improved up to 20% by adapting their parameters to the variability of the waste flow on real time. This means 1200 Tn/year, increasing revenues up to 421,200€/yr for an average customer. Assuming that the complete RUBSEE installation cost amounts 142,000 € (10 RUBSEE units + 600

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Measurable improvement of development deployment and operation of Interbank automation software' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

As the dimension and criticality of the applications increases, it becomes more and more difficult to estimate costs, track projects and to have full control of the source code, especially when it is developed by subcontractors. Moreover, banking and financial markets are demanding for higher quality systems, as far as availability and reliability of the service is concerned. The experiment has two main objectives: the extension of the software development process, to also cover the maintenance phase and the new releases, through the establishment of a product life cycle supported by advanced configuration management practices, and the measurement of the obtained improvement on the reliability and availability of the offered inter bank services.THE EXPERIMENT The objectives will be achieved through the following steps: a) definition of the configuration management processb) selection of a configuration management toolc) implementation and optimisation of the aforementioned processd) measurement of the effectiveness of the configuration management policies and tools by means of a measurement programme based on the GQM (Goal Question Metrics) technique. The experiment will be performed on a very large project, called NRO, centred on the design, development and deployment of the new generation of a communication and network management software. This software is supported on a variety of platforms and operating environments that range from mainframes to UNIX minis. NRO is developed by SIA, a small-to-medium enterprise which employs 240 people, 40 of them involved in NRO teams together with 2 major subcontractors. EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE Maintenance and evolution processes are expected to be shortened in order to enhance the availability and the quality of products an

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Novel Productivity Enhancement Concept for a Sustainable Utilization of a Geothermal Resource' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Within the project SURE (Novel Productivity Enhancement Concept for a Sustainable Utilization of a Geothermal Resource) the radial water jet drilling (RJD) technology will be investigated and tested as a method to increase inflow into insufficiently producing geothermal wells. Radial water jet drilling uses the power of a focused jet of fluids, applied to a rock through a coil inserted in an existing well. This technology is likely to provide much better control of the enhanced flow paths around a geothermal well and does not involve the amount of fluid as conventional hydraulic fracturing, reducing the risk of induced seismicity considerably. RJD shall be applied to access and connect high permeable zones within geothermal reservoirs to the main well with a higher degree of control compared to conventional stimulation technologies.A characterization of the parameters controlling the jet-ability of different rock formations, however, has not been performed for the equipment applied so far. SURE will investigate the technology for deep geothermal reservoir rocks at different geological settings such as deep sedimentary basins or magmatic regions at the micro-, meso- and macro-scale. Laboratory tests will include the determination of parameters such as elastic constants, permeability and cohesion of the rocks as well as jetting experiments into large samples in. Samples will be investigated in 3D with micro CT scanners and with standard microscopy approaches. In addition, advanced modelling will help understand the actual mechanism leading to the rock destruction at the tip of the water jet. Last but not least, experimental and modelling results will be validated by controlled experiments in a quarry (mesoscale) which allows precise monitoring of the process, and in two d

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Transforming Concrete Resilience: Investigating High-Temperature Effects on Self-Healing Properties'.

assistant: **Concept**

Since urbanization and climate are getting stronger, for sustainable development it is crucial to enhance the safety and durability of construction materials. TRaaSH  aims to study the response of Self-Healing Concrete (SHC) at elevated temperatures and to develop temperatures dependent properties for SHC. SHC is one of the modern concrete types inspired from the natural process of human wound healing and developed to ensure the longevity and durability of concrete structures. Extending the service life of structures is essential for reducing carbon footprints of the construction industry and managing construction waste. Current research on SHC focuses primarily on its mechanical properties and crack healing efficiency under normal conditions and ambient temperatures. Due to lack of investigations, significant research gaps exist in understanding the performance of SHC at elevated temperatures and in fire exposure scenarios. Understating the response of SHC at elevated temperatures is crucial for ensuring the safety of occupants/users and for the sustainability of concrete structures. TraaSH adopts a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, bridging together material science, rigorous fire resistance testing, post-fire structural integrity, thermal analysis and structural fire engineering. With Dr. Naveed Alam's support and expertise in structural fire engineering, this fellowship will train me in advanced fire safety engineering and computational modeling, enhancing my knowledge of self-healing technologies. The findings from this interdisciplinary research will help with sustainable construction which will in turn reduce the construction sector's environmental impact contributing to SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities. The project will also help with industria
