user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Statistical mechanics of biomolecular confinement and translocation' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Concept**

We propose to study the properties of polymers in conditions where confined geometries dramatically reduce the accessible volume. The properties of polymers can change significantly under such conditions, and there are important applications both in materi al science and in biological systems. In the biological world confinement occurs during important processes like the translocation of biopolymers through pores in cell or nucleus membranes, or during the encapsulation in small compartments (misfolded prote ins in chaperonin complexes).We propose to study the fundamental properties of the flow of polymers through such biological pores, which, although complex in the number of parameters involved, are not conceptually complicated. A computer simulation of such a system will then be a powerful tool to understand what the relevant parameters are that determine the system's behavior. The computational methods we will develop are largely inspired by successful techniques from the field of colloid science. In partic ular we combine Stochastic Rotational Dynamics scheme with a coarse grained representation of the biopolymer. For this last point we will extend the recent experience gained on design of configurational changes in protein and of protein-protein interaction s to a continuous representation of the amino acid chain. The model will then provide at the same time a general description of the mechanical action of the confinement, and how it depends on the interactions between the protein and the nanopore/nanocage.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'HEALEX – High Efficiency Air Liquid Heat Exchanger An innovative, new heat exchanger that improves energy efficiency in cooling and ventilation systems' (HEALEX), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

HEALEX (High Efficiency Air to Liquid Heat Exchanger) has the potential to reduce electricity consumption by 30% in several cooling applications. This tremendous energy savings and corresponding CO2-emission reductions can be achieved by a strikingly simple innovation: the improvement of a single system component, the heat exchanger.The HEALEX project aims to replace the state of the art heat exchanger in certain existing products within the cooling sector for a novel, simple, conceptually unique and much more efficient heat exchanger: HEALEX.The objectives of this project focus on solving the technical and commercial bottlenecks identified during Phase 1 of the project. These are: i) Achievement of HEALEX mechanical strength required to gain market acceptance, ii) Fully develop three different HEALEX types, iii) Securing future HEALEX customers, and iv) Assuring a competitive product.HEALEX project will be carried out by Airec, a Swedish SME which has since its foundation focused on developing, producing and marketing different types of heat exchangers.Airec’s commercialization strategy is based on a business to business relationship, where HEALEX customers and their R&D departments are involved at an early stage of the HEALEX project in order to meet their individual requirements. This supports a more efficient development process and a quicker market introduction and expansion. All in all, the planned commercialization strategy focuses on giving Airec’s customers strong reasons to shift to HEALEX.Scientists and market experts have expressed HEALEX’s potential to create the largest paradigm change in the cooling industry for several decades. By successful completion of the project objectives, HEALEX will become a reliable and profitable product contributing to both Ai

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Bottom-up IntegRated Approach for sustainabLe grouNdwater  mAnagement in rural areaS' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Groundwater resources represent the largest volume of all unfrozen fresh water on Earth. However the knowledge and understanding of this precious resource is very little, if compared to surface water, especially to the general public and policy makers. Indeed, groundwater resources if carefully managed can make a significant contribution to meet increasing water demand, agricultural needs and to adapt to global climate change, particularly in coastal regions. For this reason it is of paramount importance to promote groundwater protection and to raise awareness on its crucial role in sustaining human activities and wellbeing worldwide. Within these emerging needs, Bir Al-Nas (Bottom-up IntegRated Approach for sustainabLe grouNdwater mAnagement in rural areaS) project’s overall objective is to develop a replicable example of integrated approach for science-based groundwater management practices, by studying the aquifer system in the Cap Bon Peninsula (Tunisia). This region has been chosen as a case study being representative of increasing global water scarcity and aquifer overexploitation issues in coastal areas. The overall objective is meant to be achieved through an integrated hydrogeochemical and social analysis finalized to obtain robust and reliable information for providing advices and supporting integrated management practices for rural development.In Arabic Bir Al-Nas means the “well of people” and emphasizes the effective inclusion of the social dimension into hydrogeological investigations.Framed within European Research Area (ERA)‘s priorities as proposing a research addressing global challenges and contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals, Bir Al-Nas will benefit of the mobility offered by the Marie Curie IOF programme, also creating t

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Intelligent composite products'.

assistant: **Concept**

Composite Based Manufacturing has been until now supported mostly by large military, aerospace and material enterprises, traditionally involved in engineering and manufacturing of high performance products, which could afford the time consuming trial-and-error experiments and certification processes for high-volume production of long-life products. Recently, however, projects on composites applications can be increasingly found in the civil-commercial business, characterzed by customized solutions, faster time-to-market, short-term turnaround and stiffer competition. This business is in itself well suited to Small and Medium Enterprises SME's).This requires, however, that SME's relinquish the traditional role of supplier to major industries and start to cooperate, to form networks and participate to the chain of added value as co-designer and co-maker, thanks to improved capabilities for design - an ongoing trend. It is exactly these questions that project INCOMPRO addresses. INCOMPRO activities will be focused on design, seen as a key process to minimize the time lag from product conception to cash and as a continuous aspect of the production process. INCOMPRO deals with Composites as the essential building materials of a new group of products, defined as intelligent. They are called so because of their inherent physical and morphological properties, thanks to which they adapt themselves to working conditions. Among the products that have inspired this project and which seem well suited to it, the following can be mentioned: propeller, liquid ring compressors, booms for sailboats, structural panels for trains and planes. This project aims to realize an Intelligent Engineering Framework, called Virtual Engineering Environment (VEE), for the design and prototyping of new

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Identification and functional characterization of genes associated with cellular biomarkers of longevity' (LONGENES), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Cellular resistance to stress, including resistance to oxidative stress thought to play a role in ageing and cancer, is a major biomarker of longevity. Indeed, increased cellular stress resistance may mediate the life-extending effects of longevity genes in mice. Therefore, there is a great interest in identifying additional genes involved in susceptibility to stress and developing new models for elucidating how cells respond to genotoxic stress. This project will employ cutting edge genomic techniques to identify new mammalian genes regulating susceptibility to stress. Mouse stress-resistance cell lines will be generated using RNA interference techniques and the mechanisms of action of the genes involved will be studied. Moreover, transgenic mouse cell lines with candidate genes from the long-lived naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber, which can live over 28 years) will be assayed for alterations in phenotypes associated with longevity, in particular stress resistance. For naked mole-rat genes modulating susceptibility to stress, their functions and how these differ from their mouse homologues will be characterized. Overall, this project will develop new in vitro paradigms for research on ageing. Accomplishing the research goals of this project will reveal new genes associated with cellular biomarkers of longevity in rodents. These genes will form novel foci for further studies and the mechanistic basis of their actions will be studied.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'ChECMating cellular senescence by modulating the surrounding matrisome' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

The increasing elderly population poses a dual challenge to the viability of both global health and our current welfare systems. One of the pivotal aspects of aging involves the accumulation of damaged cells, known as senescent cells, in organs. While these cells play a role in coordinating tissue repair whenever damage occurs, their aberrant accumulation disturbs normal tissue function, resulting in an unbearable burden that ultimately leads to aging. Understanding how these cells accumulate within the organism, a yet unresolved question, would offer invaluable insights into the aging process. We have recently reported that damaged cells rely on Integrins, a family of membrane proteins, to implement senescence over cell death, leading to their accumulation within injured tissues. Remarkably, Integrins are known as the major cellular receptors binding to the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Considering these precedents, we aim to take a step further and investigate whether the composition and status of the ECM can influence the buildup of senescent cells by impacting the choice between senescence and cell death upon injury, a possibility not explored before. Here, we aim to assess whether certain ECM proteins might act as pro-senescence factors by desensitizing damaged cells to death, favoring survival and aberrant senescence instead. We will thoroughly characterize multiple cell culture and mouse models of senescence implementation following damage, aiming to unveil the mechanisms controlling this phenomenon. Leveraging these findings, we will modulate the occurrence of cell senescence through ECM reengineering in mice, seeking to establish a revolutionary approach to address aging and tissue fibrosis. In sum, by uncovering unsuspected links between the ECM stat

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'A Novel Mathematical Framework for the Modelling and the Analysis of Transportation Networks (MANTRAS)' (MANTRAS) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Transportation networks are ubiquitous nowadays: people move over transit links (airspace, highway systems, networks of subways and railways), trade goods through industrial networks (logistics and production networks, manufacturing systems) and assets through financial networks (market and banking systems), support their lifestyle via distribution networks (power, energy, food and water distribution systems), and communicate and exchange knowledge through information networks (based on telephone lines, satellite stations, optical grids, cable and wireless internet, postal networks and the media). A reliable, resilient, secure, efficient, and effective operation of these networks is of paramount importance both when the systems are operated to the limits of their performance during critical situations, as well as under regular operating conditions. The quest for a quantitative understanding of these networks and their properties necessitates the development of descriptive formal models to represent, analyze, and control them. Discrete Event Systems (DES) and Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHS) are general mathematical models that, while rather different in nature, by virtue of their structural properties and dynamical features are both particularly suitable at modelling transportation networks. This project has two original objectives. The first major goal is theoretical, and is aimed at the introduction of a formal mathematical framework that is capable of connecting between the theory of DES and that of SHS. The second objective deals with the applications of this novel formal model in the description, analysis, and control of classes of transportation networks (road traffic networks and railway systems). This innovative project is expected to yield theoretical results th

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Eurosida 1997-2000', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

- Continue a prospective collection of clinical, laboratory and therapeutic data on a large cohort of unselected HIV infected patients from all parts of Europe. This to monitor the pattern of HIV-associated illnesses and prognosis among these patients on an European level.-Introduce determinations of the HIV viral load in serum as a prognostic marker in this cohort and assess its use in patient monitoring (compared with clinical presentation and CD4 count).- Collect plasma for subsequent analyses of other soluble markers which may serve as prognostic markers of specific markers of certain types of HIV-associated diseases.The EuroSIDA study will be able to give an up-to-date assessment of the overall impact of the interventions that patients infected with HIV are offered on a European level. A total of more than 7500 unselected patients from 48 clinical centres in 18 European countries will be subjected to long-term follow-up, of whom 4500 are currently followed as of January 1997 as part of the EuroSIDA 1994-1997 study. New patients will be recruited periodically, to ensure that the study will give-up-to-date information on the clinical presentation and outcome of European patients infected with HIV. The EuroSIDA 1997-2000 study will initiate the determination of HIV RNA load in plasma. This will serve as a valuable additional prognostic marker, based on results now emerging from small patient-sample studies. Furthermore, we will be able to assess to what extend the HIV load can be used in patient monitoring. Results of HIV RNA load determinations and several thousand plasma samples will be collected. The plasma will also be used to assess other prognostic markers which may become available, in addition to study the epidemiology of HIV subtypes and of the development of
