user: Describe how 'Construction and testing of a bayonet tube high temperature heat exchanger for advanced power generation cycles' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of the project is the testing of the High Temperature Heat Exchanger (HTHE) in a real aggressive hot gas environment produced by a 5MW multi-fuel boiler simulator with temperatures up to 1450 C. It will be divided into a ceramic part with advanced monolythic materials and a metallic one with oxide dispersion alloys. The HTHE consists of four modules equipped by 164 bayonet tubes with outer closed tubes (75 mm O.D.x1650 mm) and inner open tubes (50 mm O.D x 2150 mm). The HTHE is key component of the Externally Fired Combined Cycle (EFCC), technology based on the indirect fired gas turbine concept. The EFCC cycle is a cost effective and environmentally sound option for supplying future power generation and cogeneration needs; making use of coal and non standard fuels such as biomasses and wastes, it ensures substacial energy savings and reductions of greenhouse gases emission.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'APPS for geotechnical field work' (GEOAPPS) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The construction market (including civil engineering, environment, energy and mining activities), is a very important market at international level, mainly in the emerging countries. In most of the construction activities, important geotechnical problems must be solved, like slope stability, laying foundation, etc. For solving them, it is necessary to perform a big number of in situ measures and tests, call field work.  For example, in the construction of a bridge, SPT test will be needed each 2-5 m for designing the foundations. This work field requires taking measures in situ and then processes them, at the office, for then elaborating the reports to the client. This process is manual, and therefore is high time and cost consuming. Nevertheless, the apps technology and the new smartphones functionalities present a new opportunity to automatize the process: taking the measures with the smart phone, processing them in the smart phone and elaborating the corresponding reports in the smart phone for being sent to the client by e-mail, cloud uploading, server connection, etc. TERRASOLUM, as international geotechnical engineering, with expertise in apps development, detected this business opportunity with high market impact possibilities,  and decided to develop a family of 30 apps for field and laboratory tests and checking and designing calculations in the field works (on-the-fly).  Thanks to this apps, the end users (geologists, geotechnical engineers, builder engineers, architects, civil construction technicians) will reduce the time for taking measures from 1-2 days to 1 hours and the cost from 720€ to 75€, obtaining a very relevant improvement in their productivity.GEOAPPS will be a strategic project for TERRASOLUM. This project will allow to increase its staff in 6 p

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Integrated optic devices by hybrid sol-gel technology' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

INESC Porto is a non-profit institution dedicated to research and interface between the academia and industry. The institution has activity in several research topics, such as optical telecommunications, optical fiber sensors, optical fiber laser sources and integrated optics. A post-doc position is available in the field of hybrid sol-gel technology, to develop the synthesis of new materials for the fabrication of novel integrated optical devices. The large potential of this technology arises from the possibility of mass production of samples through simple deposition techniques such as spinning or dip-coating. In addition, a very attracting feature is related to the fact that reactive ion-etching techniques for the fabrication of tri-dimensional wave guides can be avoided (which is usually essential in techniques such as flame hydrolysis deposition of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition), by simply using selective photo-polymerization of planar layers through photolithographic techniques, following by appropriate dissolution of non-polymerized areas. The fellow should have a sound knowledge of the chemistry underlying the hybrid sol-gel process and materials science, and be capable to develop recipes for the synthesis of new materials. The research project will include the development of the wave guide fabrication technique, in particular to assess different doping species for refractive index control and to study the effect of photo-initiators in parameters such as wave guide line width control and surface roughness. The second part of the research project is related to the development of new materials, seeking hosts with enhanced rare-earth ions solubility, for the fabrication of very efficient optical amplifiers and lasers.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Establishment of European-Asian Network for the development of strategies to enhance the sustainable use of Sea Buckthorn' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Sea Buckthorn is native to Europe and Asia and has been known and used by humans for centuries. The major benefits of the plant lie in - the richness of bio-active compounds (vitamins, minerals/micro elements, high valuable oils and secondary plant constituents), - its potential for pharmaceutical applications documented in Russian and traditional Chinese medicine, - the chance for additional income in remote rural areas (e.g. Asia, Russia), which would help to combat the migration into the cities and the encountered socio-economic problems. However, commercial cultivation and exploitation is not well-developed in Eastern Europe and Asia due to a lack of know-how in harvesting and processing technologies and market-oriented product development. In Europe the availability of raw material is restricted: Approx. 5.000 tons of berries are processed annually which can not satisfy the existing and future market for high quality foods, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. [NIG, 2001/2004] Therefore EAN-SEABUCK aims at the establishment of an integral cooperation network between Europe and Asia for a joint sustainable utilisation of Sea Buckthorn. By these means a win-win situation for Europe and Asia will be achieved by mobilising the scientific and technological capacities of the European Union to the benefit of the international community. Furthermore, in the developing Sea Buckthorn market, which has an enormous economic potential due to the highly valuable plant compounds, the imminent strong competition from third countries such as the US would be pre-empted.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Discriminative preferences and fairness ideals in diverse societies: An ‘experimental economics’ approach' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In economics, a distinction is made between statistical and taste-based discrimination (henceforth, TBD). Statistical discrimination refers to discrimination in a context with strategic uncertainty. Someone who is uncertain about the future behaviour of a person with a different ethnicity may rely on information about the different ethnic group to which this person belongs to form beliefs about the behaviour of that person. This may lead to discrimination. TBD refers to discrimination in a context without strategic uncertainty. It implies suffering a disutility when interacting with ‘different’ others. This project systematically studies TBD in ethnically diverse societies.Identifying TBD is important because overcoming it requires different policies than overcoming statistical discrimination: they should deal with changing preferences of people rather than providing information about specific interaction partners. But identifying TBD is tricky. First, it is impossible to identify using uncontrolled empirical data because these data are characterised by strategic uncertainty. Second, people are generally reluctant to identify themselves as a discriminator. In the project, I study TBS using novel economic experiments that circumvent these problems. The project consists of three main objectives. First, I investigate whether and how preferences of European natives in social interactions depend on others’ ethnicity. Are natives as altruistic, reciprocal, envious to immigrants as compared to other natives? Second, I study whether natives have different fairness ideals—what constitutes a fair distribution of resources from the perspective of an impartial spectator—when it comes to natives than when it comes to non-natives. Third, I analyse whether preferences and fairness ide

user: Describe how 'Unveiling the relationship between brain connectivity and function by integrated photonics' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

I will address the fundamental question of which is the role of neuron activity and plasticity in information elaboration and storage in the brain. I, together with an interdisciplinary team, will develop a hybrid neuro-morphic computing platform. Integrated photonic circuits will be interfaced to both electronic circuits and neuronal circuits (in vitro experiments) to emulate brain functions and develop schemes able to supplement (backup) neuronal functions. The photonic network is based on massive reconfigurable matrices of nonlinear nodes formed by microring resonators, which enter in regime of self-pulsing and chaos by positive optical feedback. These networks resemble human brain. I will push this analogy further by interfacing the photonic network with neurons making hybrid network. By using optogenetics, I will control the synaptic strengthen-ing and the neuron activity. Deep learning algorithms will model the biological network functionality, initial-ly within a separate artificial network and, then, in an integrated hybrid artificial-biological network.My project aims at:1. Developing a photonic integrated reservoir-computing network (RCN);2. Developing dynamic memories in photonic integrated circuits using RCN;3. Developing hybrid interfaces between a neuronal network and a photonic integrated circuit;4. Developing a hybrid electronic, photonic and biological network that computes jointly;5. Addressing neuronal network activity by photonic RCN to simulate in vitro memory storage and retrieval;6. Elaborating the signal from RCN and neuronal circuits in order to cope with plastic changes in pathologi-cal brain conditions such as amnesia and epilepsy.The long-term vision is that hybrid neuromorphic photonic networks will (a) clarify the way brain thinks, (b) comp

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Development of improved detection systems for monitoring of toxic heavy metals in contaminated groundwaters and soils' (DIMDESMOTOM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Problems to be solvedToxic Heavy Metals (THM) are well known pollutants from both natural or anthropogenic sources. Their deposits in solid or liquid solutions have several ways to spread out (including both physical and chemical transformations) and thus to get into the trofic chain. The current in site" THM detection systems are generally limited to spectrophotometer chemical test kits.These offer the convenience of field analysis but have several important limitations:· Speciation is not achieved, only total content is determined· Chemical and physical interferences to measured signal can be dramatic· Still require a high degree of user competence. Thus, data are poor to determine trends in pollution and to contribute to a proper risk assessment. A solution to this problem will directly contribute to the EU policy for environmental information and protection of ground waters and soils (EU council inter-institutional dossier 97/0067 (SYN)Scientific objectives and approachThe present project is focused to throw light into this problem by identifying the contamination trends of these pollutants (including chemical speciation and metal mobility factors) as well as to determine the efficiency of the remediation processes that are applied to such a contaminated sites. To accomplish for these objectives, the research activities have been planned as follows. The project will develop and validate novel selective and robust sensing devices, including chemical sensors and biosensors and biomimetic systems for on-line operation and real time measurements of THM (Toxic Heavy Metals) present in contaminated soils, groundwater and surface waters.This general contribution will be accomplished by the specific investigations:· Elaboration and validation of electrochemical biosensors/i

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Exploring the Security-Democracy Nexus in the Caucasus' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

CASCADE will:- scrutinise Caucasian states and societies for the root causes of conflict and insecurity, conduct synergetic research on democracy and security in the Caucasus and investigate their interaction,- analyse the links between the region and its wider neighbourhood,- provide forward-looking analysis on regional security and democratisation processes,- and develop a set of proposals on how the EU could enhance its role in the region.The project will de-compartmentalise research on the Caucasus by exploring linkages between societal challenges, political developments and conflicts and investigating the interactions between the North and South Caucasus, as well as between the Caucasus and its wider neighbourhood. On the basis of a strong comparative and interdisciplinary approach, we will seek to provide a more accurate understanding of how democracy and security are perceived, understood, experienced and exploited as political and social resources by Caucasus actors and other actors involved in the region. Cooperation between researchers with backgrounds in different humanities will uncover the various facets of the relationship between democracy and security. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork in the North and South Caucasus, including in the conflict areas and de facto States, CASCADE will generate a wealth of empirical data as well as new and important insights into security and democracy in the Caucasus. The project’s outcomes will also be largely policy-driven and CASCADE’s impact will be considerable in terms of shaping EU policy toward the Caucasus. The project will act as a knowledge hub to spur debate and bring together academic and policy communities from Europe and the Caucasus.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Marine nanobiotechnology: Manganese oxide-containing core-shell materials formed by proteins from marine organisms for biomedical and environmental applications' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Core-shell materials are of enormous interest for many applications in nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Only recently, due to the achievements of the consortium, the generation of such nanoparticles by applying unique proteins from marine organisms has become possible. In this IAPP, based on a long-term and very successful cooperation between groups in Germany and Croatia, well known in the field of marine biotechnology of sponges and associated microorganisms, and now extended by an SME (NanotecMARIN GmbH) with a special focus on the exploitation of marine metal-oxide forming enzymes / proteins, a marine bacterial multicopper oxidase (MCO) and a sponge laccase, which are able to catalyze the oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn(IV), will be used to generate novel metal oxide nanocomposite materials. Enzymatically active MCO will be immobilized on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles to enzymatically fabricate core-shell materials. In addition, MCO and laccase will be applied in combination with silica or other metal oxide-forming proteins (recombinant silicatein and silintaphin-1) to generate nanoparticles containing multiple shells of various materials, which can be doped with fluorescent dyes and proteins during their formation at mild conditions. These core-shell nanoparticles will be used in drug delivery, for removal of manganese or other heavy metals from contaminated aqueous solutions (remediation of contaminated environments), as well as for the development of antifouling strategies.

user: Describe how 'Advanced Braking Module with Cyclic Energy Recovery System (CERS) for enhanced reliability and performance of Wave Energy Converters' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

WaveBoost aims at providing a step-change improvement to the reliability and performance of PTOs (Power-Take-Offs), by developing and validating an innovative braking module with a Cyclic Energy Recovery System (CERS). While built and tested on the platform of the existing CorPower technology, the CERS braking module can be integrated in many types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). Especially for point absorbers - undisputedly the WEC type with best prospects for large-scale development - WaveBoost will solve a central reliability challenge, the so-called 'end-stop' problem (excessive, uncontrolled forces when linear movement reaches end of stroke). Further, dedicated reliability assessment methods will be developed and applied.CERS is an energy redistribution system that will allow WECs to absorb more energy from high energy wave cycles, temporarily storing excessive energy in the first step of the PTO chain, then releasing it for conversion through the remaining steps of the PTO in low energy wave cycles. Similar systems are being used in other sectors (e.g. automotive) but have not been applied to ocean energy. The additional damping force required to safely stop the motion of WECs in storm waves may be several times larger than the PTO force used to convert wave motion into electricity. By providing the extra damping needed from the CERS module, system survivability and reliability of critical components are significantly improved. Another consequence is a size reduction of the PTO for the same power rating, and an increase of the Annual Electricity Production (AEP). The technology allows WECS to operate at higher average loading, increasing average conversion efficiency. Further, the grid compliance of electricity produced is significantly improved through this new
