user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Path selection in dielectric breakdown and fracture' (2002-2006) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Dr. Robert Deegan, an Irish national, has relocated from USA to the UK to take the position of lecturer at in the School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol. The aim of his research is to study singularities in a variety of physical systems using a combination of experiment, simulation, and theory. Singularities are common and occur when some physical quantity becomes infinite. The behaviour of singularities teaches us about the molecular structure of matter, and raises new challenges for multi-sca le modelling. The particular realizations of singularities we plan to study are the divergence of the stress at the tip of a moving, and of the electric field at the boundary of an electrical discharge. The novelty of this approach lies in the emphasis on common features exhibited by cracks and sparks, phenomena which are studied almost exclusively by very different scientific communities. The School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol provides a strong theoretical base for this program, and has com mitted itself to developing an experimental program by hiring Dr. Deegan. Furthermore, the University of Bristol is amply equipped with the scientific talent, the technical facilities and know-how to successfully undertake this project. It is expected that this project will provide a unique research program that will enhance the stature of European research, will generate results that are directly applicable to industrial problems, and will strengthen and grow new bonds with other European research centres.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Development and validation of a standards comparison methodology'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed project will provide a generic Standards Comparison Methodology suitable for comparison of standards from different international standardisation bodies. This developed methodology will be validated by performance of a comparison of selected standards applicable for Ukrainian and West-European space industry. The level of equivalence will be determined by a ranking scheme, and residual differences between the selected standards with respect to their scope and objectives will be elaborated. Necessary harmonisation potentials for the compared standards will be identified in view of mutual acceptability, and means will be proposed to implement this harmonisation potential as identified by the proposed project.Finally, exploitation and dissemination potentials for all project results will be identified and a related implementation strategy including the necessary supporting activities will be elaborated and proposed. This will include dissemination to and exploitation to other NIS countries, other EU member states, other standardisation systems as well as other industry branches.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Development of a Routine to Avoid Set Marks in Weaving'.

assistant: **Innovation**

At first, the project aimed to develop a control circuit so that the microprocessor could calculate optimum settings out of a number of signals measured on the loom during operation. To this end, a large number of loom tests has been performed in the participating weaving mills in order to develop a simulation model of the origin and occurrence of set marks. Unfortunately, this approach did not result in satisfying simulation models.At the mid-term assessment, it was decided to choose another approach to come to the ultimate goal of the project, the development of a routine to avoid set marks in weaving. An expert system was developed integrating the expertise on set marks of loom manufacturers and weavers and the knowledge on set marks obtained in the large experimental part of the project. The expert system is a rule based system taking the fabric, yarn and loom type into account and gives rules for parameters for the different loom settings that are important for set marks. The personal computer on which the expert system runs can be connected to the loom so that bi-directional communication between loom and personal computer facilitates the operation of the system.The expert system has been extensively tested in the participating mills and good results have been obtained so far. These companies are already using the system and it is foreseen that the system will become commercially available in near future. Use of the system will improve quality of woven fabrics thanks to the reduced number of set marks occurring during weaving.An automatic marker system has been developed in order to perform set mark experiments automatically : a number of loom stops and starts can be made without human intervention and the place of the stops is marked via a paint spray on the fabr

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Glutamate, vitamin c and molecular oxygen in the mammalian brain - a study using microelectrochemical sensors and microdialysis'.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of this project is the in vivo characterisation and application of a microelectrochemical glutamate sensor. The sensor, constructed by immobilising the enzyme glutamate oxidase in an electropolymerised poly(o-phenylenediamine) film on the surface of a Pt wire, will be characterised by combining the electrode with a microdialysis probe. This will enable administration of chemicals into the same brain region as the implanted sensor and allow in vivo verification of the signal. Once characterised this sensor will then be used in combination with a carbon paste electrode which simultaneously detects r2 and ascorbic acid (AA) using differential pulse amperometry. The important relationship between glutamate and both M and O2 in the mammalian brain will be investigated. This study will concentrate on the herterexchange theory for M and glutamate, and the relationship between O2, glutamate and neuronal death. Having being trained in Oxford as an EC Fellow in the in vivo techniques of voltammetry and brain microdialysis (a technique not available in Ireland), this project will enable the candidate to return to his home country to establish and teach the acquired methodologies.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Automated quality control system for end-products in a textiles industry'.

assistant: **Concept**

Clothes manufacturing companies have a strong need for improved quality of their products in order to keep their market interest against the keen competition of third countries. DOUROS S.A. is one of the most important companies in Greece manufacturing high quality clothes and wishes to develop a reliable, real-time quality control system for the inspection of both the incoming raw fabric and the finished garments. At present quality control is performed by human supervisors and thus the results are subjective and cannot cover all the defect types. Therefore, the reliability of the final product is reduced. Typical defect types of the incoming fabric are holes, colour shadows or oil spots, colour differences and thick yarns. Some common faults of finished garments are the incorrect sizing, the different distances of collar ends from the garment centre line, as well as the wrong pocket location or orientation. . . The present project aims at the incorporation of advanced visual and data acquisition techniques, as well as neural network technologies into the production line of a garment manufacture, in order to improve the real-time quality control of both the incoming fabric and the finished clothes. The new automated control system is expected to achieve the followings : at the first stage, the detectable size of the raw fabric defects will be reduced from a few mm now to less than 0 5 mm . At the second stage the error in measured size will be reduced from 10 mm to 1 mm.After the above improvements, the overall customers rejection percentage of finished goods is expected to be reduced at least one order of magnitude. The consortium consists of a manufacturer of high quality clothes (DOUROS S.A ) as the end user of the new quality control system, a company with expertis

assistant: **Impact**

The I2C integration project proposes for 2015 a new generation of innovative sea border surveillance system implementing key existing and in development capacities to track all vessel movements to early identify and report on threats associated to detected suspicious events. These key capacities are: *Shore based sensors platform grouping new sensor technologies; long range HFSW radar, FMCW radar to track small crafts (both prototypes are in experimentations), AIS stations and conventional coastal radar. This platform performs permanent all weather traffic surveillance over wide maritime zone up to 200 nautical miles. *Deployable sensors platforms to perform local node observation campaigns to complete shore based surveillance. Four equipped platforms are deployed; aircraft and vessel patrols, USV and Zeppelin, which offers absolute quiet flight with no vibration for high resolution observation quality and a payload of 2 tons for sensors and communication devices. *Capacity for common operational traffic picture to correlate vessels tracks from shore based and deployable sensors plots. *Capacity for common intelligent operational traffic picture appending to vessel tracks information on performed activities, flags, sea state conditions, regulations, etc. *Capacity to detect abnormal vessel behaviours and issue automatically alarms to operator for validation. Detection is based on multi-parameters rules and detection engines. *Capacity to understand suspicious event, early identify threat and issue periodically interpretation files to authorities for decision. *Capacity to transfer useful data sets through communication network based on Distributed Systems intercommunication Protocol (DSiP) and VSAT/Digital Video Broadcast technologies.

user: Explain how 'Metabolic regulation of reciprocal signalling between skeletal muscle cell types' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Maintenance of skeletal muscle quantity and quality is crucial for healthy aging, and is facilitated by a remarkable tissue plasticity. Muscle-resident stem cells (MuSC) provide an important contribution to this plasticity by differentiation and subsequent fusion with the myofiber – a process called myonuclear accretion. The progression of this process is characterised by distinct MuSC metabolic requirements, and seems to depend on the myofiber metabolic state. We therefore anticipate a role of metabolism – and specifically, the metabolic regulator AMPKalpha2 – in myofiber to the MuSC signalling, directing MuSC fate towards myonuclear accretion. We explore this in three aims, that constitute ‘proof of principle’, ‘target identification’, and ‘target validation’. To achieve these aims, we ensure a two-way transfer of knowledge by combining my Cre/LoxP-based cell system, with the host lab’s primary MuSC isolation. These combined technologies also provide a platform to study myonuclear accretion in the context of other molecular targets and diseases. Furthermore, we will initiate an interdisciplinary collaboration to perform integrative phosphoproteomics and metabolomics, and get a unique insight in the myofiber to MuSC signalling. This will provide AMPKalpha2-targets that will be validated using advanced mouse models established at the host lab, and provides leads for research after the fellowship. Results will be communicated to a scientific and non-scientific audience by publication in scientific journals, conference presentations, via Twitter, workshops and open days. Since the host lab is at the forefront of myogenesis research, it will provide me with an ideal environment to improve my scientific network, and receive the relevant technical and personal training.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Very High Energy Electrons for RadioTherapy (VHERAPY)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) as those produced by compact laser plasma accelerators are ideal candidate in radiotherapy (RT). The corresponding dose distribution of the already produced low divergence and quasi-monoenergetic electron beam portends significant potential to treat deep tissue tumors, due to VHEE’s narrow radial dose deposition profile and long penetration distance. Our technological breakthrough is creating VHEE beam suitable for radiation therapy with a single laser and in relatively small space. Therefore, we expect our discovery to enable smaller, simpler and cheaper RT machinery with superior therapy performance. This will bring added value to RT device manufacturers and operators. Our approach substantially reduces the size of the acceleration complex leading to significantly smaller footprint, and investments in such facilities. We also enable increasing patient throughput while facilitating lower radiation protection requirements. The approach is safer for patients – for instance, our numerical studies of dose deposition in cases of prostate cancer indicate that VHEE reduces 20% of the ionizing radiation in healthy tissues. Moreover, obesity makes cancer treatment more difficult and adverse side effects more common, for which VHEE-RT represents an efficient and economically pertinent solution. In addition to increasing the technology maturity in this PoC, we will study and prepare commercialization plans of the approach and variety of VHEE-RT components. Moreover, we will carry out IP protection and networking tasks with collaborators, potential customers and investors for improving our chances of commercialization success.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'TRANSPORT AND ATTENUATION OF NON-POINT SOURCE POLLUTANTS IN KARSTIC AQUIFERS'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The principle objective of the proposed project is to investigate the influence of non-point source pollutant releases on water supply wells in karstic flow zones. The proposed study site is the karstic aquifer of Mount Nif, which is hydraulically connecte d to valuable water resources for city of Izmir. The study will primarily focus on nitrate and pesticide releases and their mobilities in karstic aquifers. There are three main objectives of the proposed study: (1) Investigate nitrate and pesticide transpo rt characteristics in karst aquifers, under saturated and unsaturated conditions, (2) develop several non-point source pollutant release scenarios, and evaluate these using numerical model applications, (3) define wellhead protection buffer zones that will be based on findings from tracer and modelling studies. Following a thorough hydrogeological site characterisation, intact core samples will be collected from the site for laboratory column studies. Transport and attenuation of nitrate and atrazine will b e studied under saturated and unsaturated flow conditions. A 1-D numerical model will be developed and model parameters will be fitted to column test results in order to obtain nitrate and atrazine migration properties in karst soil. Tracer experiments wil l be conducted by mimicking a non-point source release, and by using an injection well with the assumption of a previous release having reached the water table. Breakthrough of tracer concentrations at monitoring wells will be observed. Using a detailed 3-D flow and transport model that will be calibrated to tracer experiment results, effects of several non-point source release scenarios on nearby water resources will be evaluated. Also, wellhead protection buffer zones will be defined by modelling. The res ear

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Thresholds in Rainforest Organisms: a Pan-taxa and Integrated Community approach' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

This research proposal presents an innovative approach to assessing the impacts of land use and climate change on biodiversity in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, one of the world's most critical biodiversity hotspots. The project integrates ecological modeling, spatial analysis, and advanced statistical techniques to understand biodiversity shifts across amphibians, birds, and mammals, focusing on taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic dimensions. By identifying critical ecological thresholdspoints where small environmental changes trigger significant community shiftsthe research fills a key gap in current studies, which often focus on isolated taxa or regions. The research has three main goals: (1) Identify significant shifts in species assemblages along gradients of natural habitat and anthropogenic land use, pinpointing ecological thresholds and community shifts. (2) Analyze how interactions between climate change and land-use change will impact the distribution of biodiversity, using species distribution models to forecast future scenarios. (3) Identify and project future biodiversity shifts and overlay these onto existing conservation areas, providing actionable maps to guide conservation efforts. The use of GradientForest for threshold analysis across the entire biome is particularly innovative, offering a comprehensive understanding of biodiversity dynamics. The project emphasizes open science practices, ensuring transparency and reproducibility by using publicly available data and sharing analytical code. This interdisciplinary approach not only advances ecological theory but also provides practical tools for conservation planning, with potential applications beyond the Atlantic Forest. Overall, the project represents a significant advancement in biodiversity co
