assistant: **Objectives**

A tube is a prismatic component designed to carry fluids, used for a wide range of applications as cooling, lubrication, braking, and energy transmission systems. Are applied in several industries, from transport (automobile, railway, aircraft) to energy generation (wind, gas turbines, nuclear). In most cases these components are security elements. The sealing between the tube and other subsystems (valve, heat exchanger, pump, tank, engine…) might be critical when it contains fluids at high pressures (up to 200 bar). In this case, a perfect tube shape and finishing is required to avoid leaking in order to ensure product safety and system efficiency.  Automobile industry is the largest tube consumer nowadays. In Europe alone, automotive industry produces over 400 million tubes annually. Leaking tube assemblies are a risk to product safety. Manufacturers take this responsibility seriously, for the great costs involved in product recall, orders cancellation and reputation. They spend a great amount of money in quality control through visual inspection. Industries with more stringent quality control standards carry on the inspection twice. Human-related approaches cannot guarantee unforeseen outages considering that production accounts millions of units. Other approaches have been tried, but none of them gives 100% accuracy. Our innovative solution is based in the reflection of light, reaching 95% accuracy. During +25 years, Tetralec has been supplying machinery for tubes and it has accumulated a great experience with the challenges related to defect detection. A multidisciplinary team has studied the available technologies and its limitations. In 2015, aimed thought a market-oriented demand, we have developed a novel defect identification pilot (hardware) based in staggere

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Rapid On-site Forensic Analysis of Explosives and Narcotics' (ROSFEN), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Forensic analysis is an essential resource in the battle against organised crime and terrorist attacks. A key challenge in forensics is the detection of trace explosive residues at a post-blast scene or on the hands or clothes of an alleged suspect. Detection of the primer charge (e.g., PETN) is often hampered by higher-concentration residues from the main charge, e.g., ammonium nitrate. Detection of the primer can be essential in order to secure a prosecution, especially if the materials that comprise the main charge are commonly available, e.g., ammonium nitrate is present in fertiliser.ROSFEN’s goal is to deliver an advanced forensic platform for rapid, on-site direct detection and lab-quality analysis of narcotics, explosives and their precursors. The performance targets are detection limits down to 1 ng/mL, 1% false alarm rate and response time < 10 seconds.ROSFEN combines innovative technology from two leading SMEs: Microsaic Systems’ chip-based mass spectrometry and Environics’ ion filter systems. This novel platform removes the need for slow, costly chromatography methods currently used in lab-based analysis. ROSFEN will enable reduction of total analysis time (samples, blanks, controls) from hours to minutes, thus reducing the load on forensic labs and enabling intelligence-led investigations.ROSFEN will also innovate in the rapid analysis of new psychoactive drugs, by coupling the isomer selectivity of the ion filter technique with the detection sensitivity of tandem MS.ROSFEN will thus enable European industry to develop and deliver innovative technologies into key global markets: Analytical instruments for security applications ($2 billion annually) and the $3.3B market for mass spectrometry.The ROSFEN consortium comprises two research-intensive SMEs, two le

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Implementation of an upgraded strategy to reach zero HIV transmission by breastfeeding in rural and urban settings in Zambia – the PROMISE-ZERO study' (PROMISE-ZERO).

assistant: **Concept**

Most cases of paediatric HIV now occur during the breastfeeding period. Through an EDCTP-2 funded randomized controlled trial in Burkina Faso and Lusaka, we tested a postnatal prevention strategy relying on point of care (POC) early infant diagnosis (EID) and maternal VL tests for same-day infant lamivudine initiation when VL>1000 copies/mL until the end of breastfeeding, and maternal ART optimization. At the 2nd immunization visit (EPI-2), maternal HIV status was reassessed and infants from HIV-positive mothers were enrolled. Among the 754 children in each arm, the 12-month transmission rate was 1.16/100pers-yrs (CI:0.44-2.60) in the control arm vs. 0 (97.5%CI: 0.71) in the intervention arm. The period at risk for infant (i.e.HIV VL>1000c/mL and no prophylaxis) was 5.96/100pers-days (95%CI: 5.85-6.1) vs. 0.36 (95%CI: 0.34-0.36). The primary objective of the proposal is to assess the effectiveness of a similar intervention in 2 provinces of Zambia, to reach zero postnatal transmission. For this implementation research proposal, we will use the RE-AIM framework. We designed a cluster randomized controlled arm with 2000 HIV-exposed HIV-negative children (1000 per arm) recruited at EPI-2 visit, in 40 clusters (maternal & child health centres) matched for district and size. The primary trial outcome is postnatal HIV infection at 18 months. The EID and VL tests will be organised at the district level with a mobile team equipped with POC machines, and one referral MCH centre equipped with Xpert platform. Research capacity will be built through PhD fellowships. By demonstrating the (cost)-effectiveness of POC tests and infant lamivudine (health technologies) to prevent infant HIV infection, identifying and addressing barriers to uptake in RE-AIM, notably via end-users particip

user: Draft an impact statement for 'The role of boron in the crystallization and surface properties of CaCO3 at the nanoscale', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Boron is important in industry and nature. It is used in oil extraction, detergents, superconductors and agricultural chemicals. At neutral to slightly basic pH, where CaCO3 forms, B exists as boric acid and borate. These are present in all sea water so marine organisms automatically incorporate B into their shells. Strangely, nearly nothing is known about the extent of uptake or its effects. In many areas of the Mediterranean Sea and continental Europe, B is a contaminant, risking environmental damage and challenging drinking water supplies. Because so little is known about its behaviour, toxic concentrations are difficult to remove. The goal of NanoCArB is to add to the thermodynamic and kinetic databases for the B-H2O-CO2-CaCO3 system, to provide deeper understanding about the interaction of B with calcium carbonate mineral surfaces and to provide a solid base for interpreting boron isotope fractionation. NanoCArB will use a multidisciplinary approach by combining several state of the art nanotechniques including spectroscopy, microscopy and synchrotron radiation based methods for in situ, real time studies to answer three main questions: How does borate affect the growth rate and growth mechanisms of calcite? What is the effect of borate on CaCO3 surface properties (i.e. adsorbed species, surface tension, inhibition) of calcite? How do the various mechanisms of crystallisation affect surface attachment, incorporation and isotope fractionation in calcite and aragonite. The results will contribute significantly in a number of fields, such as improving drinking water and waste treatment, scale inhibition, oil extraction, and to advance understanding of processes that occur at the global scale, such as ocean acidification and climate change. In parallel, NanoCArB will p

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Topological states in superconducting two-dimensional electron gases' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

I will experimentally investigate hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices for realizing novel topological states of matter, with interest both in fundamental physics and quantum computing applications. Common denominator of the proposed experiments is a regime where the characteristic energy scales of the system, namely Fermi energy, spin orbit interaction correction, superconducting gap and Zeeman splitting are comparable to each other, resulting in unique and mostly uncharted physical territories. Differently from the most widespread use of semiconductor nanowires coupled to superconductors, I will employ novel hybrid two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) where the superconductor is grown in-situ and matched to the semiconductor lattice. This novel system was mainly developed by the team I supervise, during the last two years. Compared to the conventional nanowire-based approach, hybrid 2DEGs are readily available, characterized by very low disorder and more amenable to complex sample designs. The work will focus on: 1) Taking full advantage of the planar geometry to study spatial and non-local properties of individual Majorana wires, as well as branched geometries. These experiments will constitute critical tests to establish if the commonly observed zero bias peaks are indeed associated with Majorana modes and pave the way to complex networks of interacting Majorana wires, a requirement for quantum computing. 2) Studying topological phenomena in multi-terminal Josephson junctions (JJs), with particular emphasis on tuning the superconducting phase difference across electrodes pairs. Topological JJs offer a new and possibly advantageous path forward to create and manipulate Majorana modes not explored up to date, including the possibility to reach the topological

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Support for practical decision making and problem solving in measurement and testing to achieve total quality in measurement' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

It is widely considered that the effective use of quality control techniques is crucial to the survival of SMEs, with quality costs typically in the range 20% to 40% of gross revenue. However, the application of QC techniques in SMEs is no very common due to the complexity of the inspection procedures and the difficulty to satisfy a large number o requirements imposed by the international standards (ISO 9000 / EN 29000, QS 9000) that deal with the test and measurement system (calibration and maintenance of equipment, etc.). Another problem is that many SMEs rely heavily on a few key personnel. These persons can often be the only ones with the expertise and knowledge to be able to solv specific problems related to the inspection, measurement and test system (e.g. related to the calibration of th measurement equipment). Therefore the provision of a practical and innovative IT decision support system to provide a strategic framework fo effective problem solving will be of great benefit to the majority of manufacturing SMEs. The system will support SME to achieve Total Quality in measurement by providing: help and guidance to the operator during the measurement process support for the identification and correction of measurement problems e.g. due to insufficient calibration o maintenance of the measurement and testing equipment assistance during the calibration and maintenance processes support for the identification of quality problems. The system will be able to distinguish between quality problems an measurement errors; in case of quality problems CAPABLE will provide suggestions for the application of appropriat quality control techniques It is intended to encapsulate the required expertise and knowledge to effectively troubleshoot almost any problem whic the measuremen

user: Explain how 'An Energy-Efficient AI Powered Portable Radar System for Human Activity Recognition' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Radar systems have been used in ambient sensing to track various subjects using electromagnetic waves. Thanks to the increasing capability of artificial intelligence algorithms in solving classification tasks, human activity detection (HAR) using radar systems have become possible. However, most previous solutions use bulky fixed radar systems with tens to hundreds of watts of power consumption, requiring rigid wall plug connection, making them environmentally unfriendly and difficult to use in applications like indoor security, healthcare, and mobile robots.In this project, we aim to develop a portable radar system for HAR by following a hardware-software co-design approach to significantly reduce the signal processing energy consumption compared to conventional radar-based HAR systems. On the software side, we will explore novel time-domain feature extraction methods to reduce the energy consumption of radar data analysis by at least 2 times. We will also apply brain-inspired neuromorphic principles to reduce 50 times the energy cost of state-of-the-art deep neural network architectures to solve radar-based HAR tasks. On the hardware side, we will develop artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator hardware based on field-programmable gated arrays (FPGAs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to decrease the hardware energy consumption in radar data processing by at least 10 times. Overall, we expect the project results to revolutionize the paradigm of radar data processing to achieve over 20 times the whole system energy reduction, which will significantly contribute to the target of greenhouse gas emission reduction defined in the European Green Deal. The developed energy-efficient AI-powered portable radar system for HAR is promising to initiate a comme

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Interpreting Drawings for 3D Design' (D3).

assistant: **Concept**

Designers draw extensively to externalize their ideas and communicate with others. However, drawings are currently not directly interpretable by computers. To test their ideas against physical reality, designers have to create 3D models suitable for simulation and 3D printing. However, the visceral and approximate nature of drawing clashes with the tediousness and rigidity of 3D modeling. As a result, designers only model finalized concepts, and have no feedback on feasibility during creative exploration.Our ambition is to bring the power of 3D engineering tools to the creative phase of design by automatically estimating 3D models from drawings. However, this problem is ill-posed: a point in the drawing can lie anywhere in depth. Existing solutions are limited to simple shapes, or require user input to “explain” to the computer how to interpret the drawing. Our originality is to exploit professional drawing techniques that designers developed to communicate shape most efficiently. Each technique provides geometric constraints that help viewers understand drawings, and that we shall leverage for 3D reconstruction.Our first challenge is to formalize common drawing techniques and derive how they constrain 3D shape. Our second challenge is to identify which techniques are used in a drawing. We cast this problem as the joint optimization of discrete variables indicating which constraints apply, and continuous variables representing the 3D model that best satisfies these constraints. But evaluating all constraint configurations is impractical. To solve this inverse problem, we will first develop forward algorithms that synthesize drawings from 3D models. Our idea is to use this synthetic data to train machine learning algorithms that predict the likelihood that constraints ap

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The role of Autotransporters in the virulence, colonisation and biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa' (AT-PSEUDOVIR) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of opportunistic infections. P. aeruginosa is found in an estimated 10-20% of all hospital acquired infections; it is implicated in respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, keratitis, otitis media, and bacteremia. It is also the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis patients, whose abnormal airway epithelia allow a chronic long-term colonisation of the lungs. Chronic infections such as this are characterised by the formation of a biofilm. Biofilms are a community of cells encased in an extracellular matrix consisting of secreted proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids attached to surfaces. Bacteria within biofilms are more resistant to antibiotics, dynamic forces and host defences. With the realisation that biofilms are of substantive importance to infectious diseases, it has become crucial to understand the mechanisms that govern biofilm development and the role of biofilms in bacterial pathogenesis in order to develop new therapies to treat these infections. Many proteins of the autotransporter (AT) class of secreted protein from Gram-negative bacteria have been found to be involved in biofilm formation. All AT proteins possess some common features: an N-terminal signal sequence, a passenger domain that is secreted to the cell surface and a translocation domain that forms a β-barrel pore that assists the passenger domain in gaining access to the surface. The passenger domain is responsible for the function of the AT protein. Using a bioinformatic approach Dr Wells has identified a further four distinct AT proteins in the five P. aeruginosa genomes available. The aim of this project is to utilise Dr. Wells’ substantial experience with E. coli autotransporters in
