user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'A COST EFFECTIVE BIOMETRIC FOR SECURITY APPLICATIONS USING INFRA-RED VEIN IMAGING WITH CONVENTIONAL COMPUTING PLATFORMS' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

There is a world-wide demand from the security industry for a low-cost, reliable system which can be used to automatically identify people. Biometrics is seen as the way forward as it provides the ultimate level of security - the identification of people by their personal characteristics. There are several biometrics systems currently being developed which use fingerprints, voiceprints, facial characteristics, eye features or hand geometry. Yet none have so far been able to meet all the user requirements in terms of reliability, public acceptability and cost. Using fingerprints, for example, has criminal overtones and scanning the eye, although very accurate, is seen to be too intrusive.The Vein Biometrics project is looking at a biometrics technology which has the potential to revolutionise the security industry. It is based on the recognition of people by the vein patterns in their hands. Infra-red light is used to create an image of the veins which can then be converted into a vector pattern or a string of numbers and stored on a computer or plastic card. This technology is much simpler and cheaper than other systems because the image capture is easier and the image processing avoids the need for complex pattern recognition. Another advantage is that vein patterns are unique, stable and virtually impossible to copy or damage. Checking veins also has no negative social connotations which would hinder its public acceptability.The aim of the project is to validate this technology and prove it in practical applications. The potential applications are many, as the security industry covers everything from access to buildings, time and attendance recording, to the payment of State benefits and the use of credit cards.The project initially focused on developing and testing p

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Competitive engineering and production in shipbuilding', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In June 1996 Industry, gathered in the European Maritime Industries Forum (MIF), presented The Maritime Industry R&D Master Plan -elaborated by MIF R&D Co-ordination Group- which addressed its R&D needs in a coordinated approach and indicated its key technological priority areas with a short-medium term vision. Among the most outstanding, there is the key area Competitive engineering and production in shipbuilding. Actually, the Shipbuilding Industry started up -led by COREDES, the R&D Committee of CESA (the European Shipbuilders Association)- an R&D Structuration Action devoted to the co-ordination of the implementation of the Master Plan, gathering the needs of all the actors related to R&D in shipbuilding in a network focused on key technological priority areas (see scheme in the next page). This Thematic Network relevant to Competitive engineering and production in shipbuilding will cover the action already settled up by the industry in the same field, giving it a wider visibility and appointing it a clear position towards EC R&D actions. In detail, the aim of this Thematic Network will be the co-ordination of the R&D activities relevant to the Competitive engineering and production in shipbuilding of the widest possible net of Shipyards, Classification Societies, Shipowners, Research Institutes, Suppliers and Universities. Furthermore, a Representative of Maritime Industries Forum R&D Coordination Group shall be involved in this Thematic Network in order to ensure the right level of harmonisation with other thematic networks and MIF recommendations. For that purpose it is foreseen the constitution within the network partnership of a short and effective structure able to manage/ elaborate inputs from all the reference parties. In particular, 12 thematic areas are ou

user: Describe how 'How does climate warming duration affect above- and belowground plant traits and overall tundra ecosystem functionality?' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Climate warming is changing vegetation across the Arctic tundra region. Warmer temperatures enhance plant photosynthetic uptake of atmospheric CO2 but warming also promotes microbial decomposition of the vast permafrost carbon pool, releasing greenhouse gases to the atmosphere in a positive feedback-loop. In addition to temperature, changes in plant composition also strongly affect carbon and nutrient cycling rates through species-specific differences in leaf and root characteristics. These so-called plant functional traits provide an essential link between vegetation change and ecosystem functionality, and understanding how climate warming affects tundra plant traits is therefore vital for accurately forecasting ecosystem impacts over the coming century.Climate-change manipulation experiments allow for process-based investigations into how ecosystems respond mechanistically to warming. However, lack of long-term experimental warming studies in the Arctic currently impedes our ability to predict future climate responses accurately over decadal time-scales because extrapolation of short-term data consistently leads to faulty long-term predictions. In WarmTraits, I will utilize a unique opportunity to destructively sample in a long-term experiment where greenhouses have warmed tundra plots for one, 11, and 21 years, respectively. Thereby, I will quantify the mechanistic effects of increasing climate-warming duration on a very comprehensive suite of above- and belowground plant functional traits. In addition, I will directly link functional trait changes to ecosystem functionality by measuring important ecosystem carbon and nitrogen cycling processes using stable isotope labelling. I have the required expertise in ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry to implement the proj

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Unveiling fungal controls of dimorphic switching' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Fungal pathogens represent an ever-increasing public health problem, being responsible for nearly 40% of deaths from hospital-acquired infections. These fungal infections are particularly devastating for AIDS patients and other immuno compromised individuals where treatment is rarely curative. Fungal infections are not restricted to animals. Around 10% of the known fungal species are phytopathogens, representing an economic threat causing millions of euros worth of loss to crops. Many pathogenic fungi are dimorphic, that is they can alternate between a unicellular, yeast growth form and a multi-cellular filamentous growth form.Little is known about the molecular mechanisms, which control dimorphic switching, and maintain each growth form. Until recently, the absence of defined genetic tools in dimorphic fungi has meant that investigation of the mechanisms controlling dimorphism has been restricted to model fungi which undertake the multi-cellular touni-cellular switch as part of a broader developmental programme.Pénicillium marneffei displays temperature-dependent dimorphism, being predominantly hyphalin form; as opposed to Candida albicans, which is predominantly yeast. The pathogenic form of P.marneffei is strictly yeast-like. DNA micro-arrays and promoter tagging screen s will allow theidentification of genes responsible for the dimorphic switch and the maintenance of the hyphal and yeast growth forms. Selected genes identified in this project will be 'knocked out' to determine their role in development and pathogenicity.Ustilago mayáis is a phytopathogenic fungus very valuable as a system to study fungaldimorphism and virulence. Contrary to P. marneffei, the pathogenic form of U. mayáis is the filamentous growth. Recently, the crkl gene has been identified to contro

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Bacterial alginate: isolation, fine structure characterization and role in aerobic granular sludge formation'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Aerobic sludge granulation is a promising innovative technology with the potential to be an alternative to the activated sludge process. It allows running a wastewater treatment plant with 30% less energy input, and requiring 75% less space combining with significant lower investment costs. Aerobic granules’ stability is the main concern of this process. It is strongly connected with the property of exopolysaccharides, particularly the bacterial alginates, which have been recently shown to be more than 10% of aerobic granules’ organic carbon content. Determining their function based on clearly defined analytical methods is significant for bringing this technology into practice. The proposed research aims at establishing and utilizing integrated analytical methods for looking into functional exopolysaccharides and their fine structures, and elucidating its role in aerobic granular sludge formation and stability based on their structure-function relationship. Bacterial alginates will be isolated both from the lab-scale and pilot-scale reactors. Their properties as block fraction, fine chemical structures, monomer ratio, molecular weight, acetylation degree, and etc. will be studied by chemical and advanced instrumental analysis as UV-visible, FT-IR, MALDI-TOF MS, NMR, MS-GC and etc. A qualitative and quantitative correlation between bacterial alginates’ property alteration and aerobic granular sludge formation and stability will be presented. Methods established will greatly facilitate exopolysaccharides research in aerobic granular sludge area; knowledge obtained will provide insight on exopolysaccharides function both in aerobic granules and normal biofilms. This research will accelerate aerobic sludge granulation technology leadership by EU; enhance EU scientific excel

user: Draft an impact statement for 'PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION CREATION AND MANAGEMENT USING STEP', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

DOCSTEP aims to develop a document authoring system to provide high-quality product documentation overcoming language barriers. Manufacturing industries working on a global scale identify this as an increasingly important factor in product differentiation. Documentation volumes are large, and controlling consistency across such documentation, often developed in different places by people with differing sets of language and product skills and knowledge, is a real challenge. The DOCSTEP approach takes up trends in product data management as a whole and applies them to technical documentation management as a special case. It will provide the means to overcome language barriers and preserve accuracy and consistency. The focus for the project will be the provision of an open authoring platforms, based on a common approach and the same basic technologies, for producing customer documentation in the aerospace and paper machinery industrial sectors.Efficient and effective document management is a critical success factor for organisations which produce very large volumes of documentation. One of the industrial partners in this project produces nearly 100 million pages a year. Both industrial partners have products with long product life cycles, and which require a high degree of customisation. Documentation services are being seen more and more as a potential factor in product differentiation in areas where technical leadership is difficult to maintain. However organisations still need to focus on their core competencies and to look for ways of reducing the cost of providing documentation by using the appropriate technology. Sheer volume is not the only problem these organisations face. In their particular environments, authors may not necessarily share the same platform which r

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'PROactive Safety for PEdestrians and CyclisTs' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The past decade has seen significant progress on active pedestrian safety, as a result of advances in video and radar technology. In the intelligent vehicle domain, this has recently culminated in the market introduction of first-generation active pedestrian safety systems, which can perform autonomous emergency braking (AEB-PED) in case of critical traffic situations. PROSPECT will significantly improve the effectiveness of active VRU safety systems compared to those currently on the market. This will be achieved in two complementary ways: (a) by expanded scope of VRU scenarios addressed and (b) by improved overall system performance (earlier and more robust detection of VRUs, proactive situation analysis, and fast actuators combined with new intervention strategies for collision avoidance).PROSPECT targets five key objectives:i. Better understanding of relevant VRU scenarios ii. Improved VRU sensing and situational analysisiii. Advanced HMI and vehicle control strategies iv. Four vehicle demonstrators, a mobile driving simulator and a realistic bicycle dummy demonstratorv. Testing in realistic traffic scenarios and user acceptance studyThe consortium includes the majority of European OEMs (Audi, BMW, DAIMLER, TME and Volvo Cars) currently offering AEB systems for VRU. They are keen to introduce the next generation systems into the market. BOSCH and CONTI will contribute with next generation components and intervention concepts. Video algorithms will be developed by UoA and DAIMLER. Driver interaction aspects (HMI) are considered by UoN and IFSTTAR. Euro NCAP test labs (IDIADA, BAST, TNO) will define and validate test procedures and propose standardization to Euro NCAP and UN-ECE. Accident research will be performed by Chalmers, VTI and BME, based on major in-depth acc

user: Describe how 'On-chip fabrication of solid state nanopores for high throughput single molecule analysis' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Nanopore sensing has a broad range of potential applications (e.g. detection of trace amounts of substances in drug delivery/cancer diagnosis/tests for nanotoxicity and infectious diseases, next generation of DNA sequencing and protein fingerprinting) due to its outstanding sensitivity for label-free single molecule analysis. The lack of a reliable high throughput fabrication process for uniformly sized nanopores has become a serious bottleneck for research, industry and economy. With the proposed innovation project, Ionera Technologies aims to push nanopore analysis to an industrial level by developing a high throughput fabrication process for nanopores in solid-state materials. In this Phase 1 feasibility study, Ionera will combine a nano-fabrication process recently developed on a laboratory scale with its proprietary MECA technology platform to deliver the proof of technology for a parallel, industrially applicable fabrication of solid state nanopores. This will be accompanied by an assessment of the economic viability of a high throughput platform for in situ nanopore fabrication and analysis.While so far, solid state nanopores are only available for a small group of experts in the material sciences, we put this exciting new research tool into the hands of all people who are eager to use them as a highly sensitive single molecule sensor for a wide range of applications but lack the expensive equipment and expert knowledge for standard SSN fabrication processes. Ionera’s envisioned product line will be the first one on the market that offers automatic parallel fabrication of customizable nanopores at a minimum cost.Market for the products is the global molecular diagnostics market, with four main segments: Academic and research facilities (niche market but easily ac

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'CONVERSION OF DILUTED MIXED URBAN BIO-WASTES INTO SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS IN FLEXIBLE PURPLE PHOTOBIOREFINERIES' (2014-2020) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

DEEP PURPLE creates a holistic consortium to transform diluted urban bio-wastes, including mixed waste streams, organicfraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), wastewater (WW) and sewage sludge (SS), into feedstock for bio-industry toobtain sustainable bio-products. This revolutionary concept will be implemented in a novel Single-Site Multi-Platform Concept (Biomass, Cellulose and Biogas) to replace current polluting destructive practices with new value added concepts.The beneficial use of bio-waste is obtained by an innovative combination of optimized recovery technologies and novel solutions: the Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) PhotoBiorefinery. The use of PPB -the most versatile metabolismreported- ensures the adaption to fluctuating and diluted waste streams to support a stable and profitable production chain. Thefirst PPB PhotoBiorefinery in the EU (the biggest worldwide) will be validated in different environmental, economic, logisticand social scenarios.The concept will be implemented by end-users from four municipalities, namely Madrid (ES), Toledo (ES), and the Moravia-Silesia Region(CZ) to transform bio-wastes (OFMSW: 422 t/y, mixed waste: 438,000 m3/y) into high-added value bioproducts:fine chemicals (bio-cosmetics), fertilizers, bio-packaging and self-repairing construction materials. The marketuptake of DEEP PURPLE is facilitated by optimal logistics of bio-wastes conversion (reduction of landfilled OFMSW: 60%, WWTP, solids recovery: 71%), and bio-products quality to favor their commercialization (440 t/y). The integration of valuechains is boosted by relevant stakeholder’s participation and innovative business models, minimizing waste and maximizingbenefits (85 M€ benefits, GHG emissions savings: 11,300 tCO2eq/y in 2025).

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Better rEal-world healTh-daTa distributEd analytics Research platform' (BETTER) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

In recent years, data-driven medicine has gained increasing importance in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and research due to the exponential growth of healthcare data. The linkage of cross-border health data from various sources, including genomics, and analysis via innovative approaches based on artificial intelligence (AI) will enable a better understanding of risk factors, causes, and the development of optimal treatment in different disease areas. Nevertheless, the reuse of patient data is often limited to datasets available at a single medical centre. The main reasons why health data is not shared across institutional borders rely on ethical, legal, and privacy aspects and rules.Therefore, in order to (1) enable health data sharing across national borders, (2) fully comply with present GDPR privacy guidelines / regulations and (3) innovate by pushing research beyond the state of the art, BETTER proposes a robust decentralised privacy-preserving infrastructure which will empower researchers, innovators and healthcare professionals to exploit the full potential of larger sets of multi-source health data via tailored made AI tools useful to compare, integrate, and analyse in a secure, cost-effective fashion; with the very final aim of supporting the improvement of citizen’s health outcomes.In detail, this interdisciplinary project proposes the co-creation of 3 clinical use cases involving 7 medical centres located in the EU and beyond, where sensitive patient data, including genomics, are made available and analysed in a GDPR-compliant mechanism via a Distributed Analytics (DA) paradigm called the Personal Health Train (PHT). The main principle of the PHT is that the analytical task is brought to the data provider (medical centre) and the data instances remain in thei
