user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The Role of Reputation and Corruption in Procurement' (REPCOR) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Nearly all activities in which the public sector is involved, from defense to transportation, from education to healthcare, require the public sector to procure works or goods from private contractors. Thus, it is crucial that the procedures through which procurement occurs be designed to avoid waste and enhance social welfare. Preventing corruption and ensuring contractor compliance with their obligations constitute primary design goals. Nevertheless, very limited evidence exists as to how different awarding methods are susceptible to corruption, and how contractors’ past reputation should be used to award new tenders.This research proposal describes three empirical projects that will advance the frontier of our understanding of the roles of corruption and reputation in procurement.Component 1 focuses on the use of reputation in contract procurement. It analyzes the evidence produced by the introduction of a vendor rating system to: i) determine whether the new system induced contractors to improve their performance, ii) determine whether performance improvements caused higher procurement costs, and iii) evaluate concerns on corruption and entry of new bidders.Component 2 focuses on corruption in public procurement. It analyzes evidence on the presence of networks of firms engaged in criminal activities in public procurement to determine: i) the extent of the phenomenon, (ii) the functioning of different awarding rules against corruption, and iii) the use of tests to detect corruption.Component 3 focuses on healthcare procurement regulations. It analyzes evidence on the public procurement of medical devices to accomplish: i) a descriptive analysis of the procurement practices across the EU, ii) an assessment of whether discretionary awarding rules are used to foster co

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Natural ventilation in urban areas -- potential assessment and optimal façade design (URBVENT)' (URBVENT).

assistant: **Concept**

Natural ventilation is an energy efficient alternative to air conditioning, adequate for European climate. Its application needs appropriate assessment of pressure and temperature on the façades, and especially designed openings. But the actual methods are either oversimplified or hyper complicated, both inadequate for decision making. As an alternative, soft computing (resulting in systems that adapt themselves, learn and explain their decisions) will be used to model the complex real-world interaction between buildings and urban environment. The design of special façade components, that exploit the surrounding energy potential, will be studied. Knowing the interaction between buildings and their urban environment, a rating methodology of natural ventilation feasibility will be obtained. Research laboratories and industrial companies will develop methodologies that will be then disseminated in 25 European countries.

user: Explain how 'Development and application of super abrasive precision tools for advanced milling operations' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

T-Tool system showed a good grinding ability in high performance processes (high wheel speed, high material removal rates) and in roughing grinding processes. These applications are considered to have the most potential for industrial T-Tool use.The system showed problems when high work surface quality is demanded (general problem of interrupted cutting processes) over a long grinding time. Dressing and truing processes have to be developed for this tool system to ensure constant results during tool life. Furthermore, bond adhesion and bond wear have to be improved to ensure long tool life. To increase the bond grip of super abrasives and the grip of super abrasive layer to the core alternative plating processes (e. g. infiltrating, chemical plating) should be investigated on their suitability for the T-Tool system.Although the achieved results can not be considered to be the final ones, they represent a good basis to continue development of this innovative tool system in the future.The aim of this project is the development, design and the production of new side milling cutters, which are expected to become an alternative to traditional cutters. The unusual feature of this tool is the use of diamond or polycristalline cubic boron nitride (PCB) abrasives. which the tool's teeth are coated with using a special geometry The geometric form and coating of the teeth guarantee an extraordinary wear resistance of the tool and a very good surface finish of the workpiece. The machining potential of this tool will be examined in practical tests with workpieces made of tungsten carbide, ceramic and cermets. Other tests will be carried out regarding milling conditions which will be improved and made to suit specific situations using necessary modifications Recommendations for the u

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'FLExibilize combined cycle power plant through power-to-X solutions using non-CONventional FUels' (FLEXnCONFU) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Natural gas (NG) fired Combined Cycle (CC) power plants are currently considered the most flexible power plants to operate in the EU grid to facilitate RES penetration. They changed their role in the EU electric market from the backbone of EU electrical grid to providing most of regulation services necessary to increase the share of non-programmable renewable sources into the electrical grid. In order to enhance their flexibility and also start to sell flexibility/ancillary services (also considering potential virtual aggregation), GT Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Utilities are investigating new strategies and technologies for power flexibility, also considering that a “fuel switch” is close foreseen from coal to NG among most used fossil based dispatchable power plants and that the role of CC will be of “RES best friends” at least up to 2030.  In this sense reducing their emission is also a strong need of GT R&D panorama promoting the exploitation of different fuels than Natural gas only. FLEXnCONFU aims to demonstrate at TRL7 in Ribatejo EDPP CC Power Plant a Power-to-gas-to-power (P2G2P) solution that will enhance CC flexibility (thus enabling them to provide grid flexibility services and getting higher revenues), reduce their NG consumption and therefore their related emission. The P2G2P system will be based on a Power-to-Hydrogen solution developed by HYGS+ICI, while a Power-to-ammonia-to-power solution developed by PROTON and ICI will be demonstrated in a properly modified microgas turbine operating in a UNIGE laboratory within the Savona Smart Microgrid (TRL6).  The P2G2P solution will be directly controlled by a grid driven/responsive management system developed by MAS.  GT combustion acceptability of different NG/H2/NH3 mixtures will be studied in

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Quality of Service for the Internet of Things in Smart Cities via Predictive Networks' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The goal of this project is to enable the delivery of Quality of Service (QoS) for the Internet of Things (IoT) in smart cities. 50 billion devices are expected to be connected to the Internet by 2020. In order to achieve high end-to-end QoS for IoT in smart cities, the problems of scalability, latency, reliability, energy efficiency and mobility must be solved jointly. The specific objectives of this project are (1) to develop forecasting algorithms in order to predict IoT traffic on the Internet, (2) to develop predictive QoS optimization algorithms targeted at IoT, and (3) to build a scalable network simulation of IoT devices in a representative smart city model in order to estimate the end-to-end latency, reliability, energy-efficiency for  a section of a city-wide network that includes mobile IoT devices. The results of the project are expected to impact the development of IoT standards in regard to the incorporation of forecasting-based methods to wireless network planning and development. The long-term impact of the project beyond IoT is expected to be the incorporation of forecasting-based methods into all layers of the protocol stack for wireless networks.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Directed Evolution of Soluble IL-17A Receptor for Psoriasis Therapeutics', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Protein therapeutics has increased dramatically over the last two decades and currently includes more than 130 therapeutic proteins in almost all fields of medicine. However, many proteins are not suitable for therapeutic application due to the lack of sufficient in vivo stability and biological efficacy. Thus, engineering of existing proteins for improved affinity and stability will significantly increase their potential for therapeutic applications. In recent years, the cytokine interleukin 17A (IL-17A) was identified as an important pro-inflammatory protein that plays an essential role in the progression of several autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, IL-17A is a promising drug target, and blocking its interactions with the endogenous IL-17RA receptor may constitute an important strategy for the treatment of common autoimmune diseases. We have recently applied protein engineering to generate decoy IL-17RA mutants with improved binding affinity and stability relative to the native soluble receptor. These variants showed promising results in inhibiting psoriasis plaque formation in a human psoriasis mouse model. Here, I propose to further develop the engineered IL-17RA for future pre-clinical and clinical development and pave the way for its commercialization. I propose to perform final lead optimization of the engineered IL-17RA variants by reducing the number of mutations while maintaining the improved characteristics of the engineered receptor. In parallel, I intend to perform detailed intellectual property (IP) and market analysis for identifying the ideal partner to promote the commercialization of the engineered IL-17RA. Further development of engineered IL-17RA and its commercialization will increase

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Variable temperature micro-impact testing' (1998-2002) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed co-operative project will develop an innovative variable temperature micro-impact testing technique. It will be fully quantified by theoretical modeling of the experimental data. Coating manufacturers across a wide range of industries currently have no effective quantified method for evaluating the performance of their coatings at their operating temperature. The technology developed in this project will provide a quantitative technique for evaluation and optimization of coating performance for improved wear-resistance and coating-substrate adhesion over the temperature range -90 to +1100 degrees Celsius. It will lead to the more rapid development of new coating technologies, more environmentally friendly and more durable coatings, all of which will make European coatings manufacturers significantly more competitive in the global market.

assistant: **Impact**

The overall objective of NBS EduWORLD is to nurture an NBS literate society, supporting a just transition to a sustainable future. For this, NBS EduWORLD will create an NBS community that facilitates synergies between NBS professionals and education providers and ensures free and easy access to NBS knowledge and resources for all. To achieve this goal, NBS EduWORLD will summarise the state of play of NBS education in Europe and evaluate the initiatives already in place, determine how to expand and replicate them and establish a basis and framework for the project itself and future initiatives, resulting in guidance and (policy) recommendations. In parallel, the project will analyse NBS demonstrators, with an educational dimension (Tier-1), across Europe (NBS EduSystems), to support the testing and improvement of approaches and resources with NBS demonstrators with no or a limited educational dimension (Tier-2) and create the means and opportunities for all NBS practitioners to engage with educators, inter alia via Tier-3 NBS EduSystems. This will be done whilst supporting the overarching goal of promoting NBS as a viable career prospect for European citizens of all ages. To adequately engage educators who are at different points on their NBS journey, the project will provide specific activities for those who are not yet familiar with the concept and benefits of NBS, and those already aware but in need of support to progress to the next stage. These activities will be scaled up/out by extensive dissemination and communication activities to maximise the project’s outreach and ensure its long-term success. Only by joining with NBS experts + Education Experts + Civil Society + supportive policies can we create an NBS EduWORLD - a community that makes a difference.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Electrostatic recovery of paper and plastic packaging wastes' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The EU recycling industry is currently under growing pressure to increase recovery and recycling rates in response to legislation and increased disposal costs, increased demand for recycled materials and public environmental concern. The EU Packaging Directive now requires recovery rates of 50 60%, recycling rates of 25 45%, and a minimum recycling rate for each material of 15%. This compares to a current European average recovery rate for plastics of 22% and recycling rate of 0.8%. Increasing the purity and value of grades by effective low cost waste separation will be a key factor in enhancing recycling performance and viability, particularly when prices are low, and could lead to volatility being absorbed in the virgin sector rather than recycled sector. Early segregation of wastes, for example at source or at Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs), is likely to be the most effective initial approach to recovery, resulting in a less contaminated raw material. Development of automated separation technology will be essential in increasing recovery rates, particularly from highly mixed and dirty" sources such municipal wastes, and reducing costs. This project will provide a major contribution towards providing increased solid waste recovery and increased quality and purity while reducing costs. The objective of this project is to develop a generic pre production scale technology for the recycling of solid materials based on electrostatic techniques for the automated separation and grading of papers and plastics from a mixed waste input stream. The following summarise the project objectives: O Develop and install serni automated pre production solid waste separation plant on user partner's site O Target output streams:  > brown card, plastics, white (office) paper, magazin

user: Describe how 'Stochastic dynamics of sINgle cells: Growth, Emergence and Resistance' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

This project aims to introduce new stochastic and deterministic models for biological and medical applications, to analyse them mathematically, to derive qualitative properties of solutions, to quantify the emergence of asymptotic regimes and to determine the limiting equations. Motivated by recent biological experiments involving single cell observations, we emphasize the effects of very small populations in various biological/medical contexts related to evolution such as emergence of leukemia and of antibiotics resistance. Our main mathematical challenge is to quantify such effects in particular on macroscopic approximations. It is our hope that this will possibly shed some light on new therapeutic strategies. In order to track individuals and to take into account small populations, we are naturally led to stochastic multiscale models while the limiting macroscopic equations should involve nonlocal nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) with constraints and singularities. We shall investigate in particular the impact of various time scales on macroscopic approximations of a new class of birth and death processes leading to a new class of Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations with constraints and singularities.  Preliminary numerical simulations indicate that these models should exhibit many surprising asymptotic behaviours such as cyclic behaviours that we shall attempt to derive rigorously. We also plan to study the lineages of sampled individuals at a given observation time by determining mathematically their time reversal paths. This issue is of particular relevance when taking into account the effect of time dependent environments, in which case the survival of individuals may only be explained by a very small number of initial individuals.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Halo gas in spiral Galaxies' (2002-2006), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The neutral gas (HI) in spiral galaxies is commonly thought to be confined to a very thin disc. In the past decades the HI gas has been used as a tracer to study the mass distribution in the outer parts and to prove the existence of the dark matter halos. Although these dark matter halos have long been known to exist, their shape and kinematics are still controversial.In particular, it is unclear whether they are nearly spherical or highly flattened because of the difficulty of tracing the galactic potential in the vertical direction. In recent years, very deep HI observations have been obtained for nearby spiral galaxies and a new picture of the vertical HI distribution is now emerging. The presence of HI gas has been discovered in the halo region of spiral galaxies at large distance from the plane.Such halo gas show an anomalous kinematics and a slower rotation with respect to the gas in the disc. So far there has been no comprehensive theoretical study of this halo gas. The origin of the gas halo can be either internal (galactic fountain) or external (gas accretion) leading to two different evolutionary models in which a larger or smaller role is played by these processes. Moreover, such gas can be used as a tracer of the galactic potential outside the plane and give unique clues on the shape of dark halos.The proposed research will combine the observational experience of the applicant with the theoretical expertise of Professor Binney and his group at Oxford University. It aims to investigate:- the origin of the halo gas;- the shape of dark matter halos;- the role of gas accretion in galaxy evolution and in warp formation.The applicant is expected, during this fellowship, to acquire skills in the interpretation of general astrophysical problems and the use of sophis
