user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Value added lignins as renewable raw materials dedicated to the end-users requirements out of black liquor of existing pulp mills' (VALOIR) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of this project is to develop methods to prepare lignins of controlled grades from black liquors in order to provide the European chemical industry with a new renewable resource at a competing price level of 0.40-1.00 US$/kg which can be adapted to the requirements for different specific end-uses. In this programme, three types of end-uses for lignin derivatives will be developed, i.e. (bio)polymers and polymer additives, wood adhesives and surfactants. The underlying project is aimed at the valorisation of a present waste stream. By developing of a cost effective method to separate lignin of controlled quality from black liquor and at the same time creating a market for the thus produced new grades of sulfur free lignin, one of the largest environmental problems of (small) pulp mills is solved. Moreover, the European chemical industry is provided by a `new' renewable raw material for a commercial price The integration of partners from the whole production and processing chain, from black liquor suppliers to the chemical industry, makes it possible that lignin grades of specified quality will be developed. The cooperation of two pulp mills from Spain, an engineering firm from Switzerland, German, Swiss and Dutch research institutions and three large chemical industries from Finland and Switzerland, respectively, emphasises the European interest in the project. The development of several lignin grades for the chemical industry involves the following issues: 1. The improvement and scaling-up of the precipitation of lignin from black liquor;2. The determination and qualification of the properties of the isolated lignin; 3. The development of end-uses for the lignin raw material.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Soft Milli-robots' (SOMIRO) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

SOMIROPrecision agriculture for rice farming and smart methods such as aquaponics are vital to ensure a safe supply of fresh food for Europe while reducing our environmental footprint. In line with the Digitising European Industry initiative under their description of smart agriculture, the SOMIRO project will develop a flat-worm-inspired mm-scale swimming robot with month-long energy autonomy, local intelligence, and ability to continuously generate data and optically communicate to reduce farming’s environmental impact in terms of carbon footprint, over fertilization, pesticide use, and overfeeding. Swimming robots would cover a much larger area than stationary systems and could be rapidly deployed and self-redistribute where most needed. They may serve as a stand-alone monitoring solution for indoor farming or complement drone-based remote sensing in outdoors scenarios.Until today, no energy autonomous (untethered and with local intelligence) milli-robot capable of hours of continuous operation has been demonstrated. The major reason for this is power limitation: locomotion requires much power and small robots have very limited energy storage and energy harvesting. Our milli-robot will be less than 1 cm long and show how soft and stretchable systems, with undulating swimming like flat worms, require far less energy for locomotion than other systems of comparable size. For power, it will not rely on any dedicated infrastructure but only on ambient light.The design of SOMIRO focuses on its industry transfer: industrial partners will use cutting-edge assembly technologies that can scale up to production volumes with no change in process. The bulk materials are low-cost elastomers and polymers and the electronic circuits will be based on commercial components. Throughout

user: Explain how 'Neural mechanisms of top-down preparation and their influence on visual awareness of real-world objects' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

A central debate in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience revolves around whether attention is required for visual awareness of real-world objects. The aim of the proposed project is to help resolving this debate by determining the behavioral consequences and neural mechanisms of top-down preparation on visual awareness of natural objects. Whether we are prepared to detect objects of a specific category may strongly influence whether we consciously perceive an object. Differences in such top-down preparation may explain why different studies arrived at conflicting conclusions about the role of attention in conscious object perception. First, the effect of top-down preparation on awareness of objects will be quantified using psychophysics. Second, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) guided by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) will be used to determine whether preparatory neural activity in category-specific visual cortical areas plays a causal role in top-down preparation and access to awareness. Third, the influence of top-down preparation on unconscious object representations will be measured using a novel eye tracking technique and fMRI. These studies will provide important insights into the influence and neural mechanisms of top-down influences on conscious perception and will thereby help to reconcile conflicting views on the relationship between attention and awareness.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Optical Real-Time Anatomical Tracking- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The PathKeeper’s Spine Navigation System uses machine vision 3D cameras and AI-based algorithms to automatically match patients’ preoperative spine CT or MRI scans to images taken in the operating room, a process called registration. Once the patient is registered, the surgeon can see the exact location of their surgical tools relative to the anatomy. Using the computer, the surgeon can see exactly where the target anatomy is, like using GPS to navigate while driving. Image-guided surgery allows surgeons to avoid damaging critical anatomy like the spinal cord and major blood vessels. Image guidance from machine vision results in safer surgery for patients. Navigation accuracy is crucial in spine surgeries, where a few millimeters can be the difference between a good outcome and major surgical complications. Current Navigation systems in the market, create the anatomical map only once at the first stage of the operation and track the movement of only the surgery tool. PathKeeper solution is the first and only system that tracks the patient's anatomy in real-time throughout the surgery. Real-time tracking not only ensure higher precision and better safety, but it also enables new clinical application which requires higher accuracy (e.g. cervical spine procedures), real-time anatomical correction (e.g. tumor removal). Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is a type of surgery that uses smaller incisions than standard surgery. This often causes less harm to nearby muscles and other tissues. For MIS procedures PathKeeper is developing a miniature 3D camera attached to the retractor tube, which uses the smaller opening to keep registration functioning. PathKeeper is a medical device company developing innovative surgical guidance systems and is dedicated to addressing the u

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Cycling resources embedded in systems containing Light Emitting Diodes' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project cycLED aims at optimising the flows of resources over all life-cycle phases of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) products. The energy saving potential for LEDs is significant, and the strategic importance of the LED technology is reflected in the current and upcoming market development. However, LED-based product systems contain many resources like indium, gallium or rare earth metals. Some of these substances are classified as critical raw materials at EU level. Therefore, if the current expansion of LED technologies is most welcomed from an economic and energy point of view, it requires optimising resource flows and addressing key societal issues. To strengthen the emerging LED market in Europe, cycLED focuses on improvement of the material flows and policy measures to remove barriers for LED technology dissemination. Innovation is needed to achieve an efficient management of the different materials used in LED systems, so that the growth of the LED-related markets is decoupled from resource depletion. A material flow analysis will first be conducted to obtain an overview of the most relevant materials contained in LED products, their origin and the situation regarding recycling. Further research will focus on the different life-cycle phases (production and manufacturing, assembling, use and material recycling) to provide overall solutions to improve the resource flows. These results will be combined to develop and implement solutions regarding product design for eco-innovation, adaptation of business models and overcoming of barriers to diffusion. Work packages dedicated to the development of indicators measuring the eco-innovation and to the dissemination of the results will accompany the research. The impacts of cycLED relate to resource savings, reduction of

user: Explain how 'Land Use and Resource Management at the Agricultural - Forest Frontier' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

In this fellowship, I aim to explore the trade-off and synergies between conservation and commodity production through an Ecosystem Services (ES) lens in order to determine how sustainable land use practices can be created and strengthened over time, and to extend knowledge on ES within broader land use, and natural capital research. I will carry out targeted fieldwork to investigate the following research lines: 1) how ES are defined and conceptualised as commodities and how these relate to more established ‘land’ commodities. This research line will include ES to humans, but also factors causing ecosystem change that can affect the long-term resilience of such ecosystems, by examining selected drivers of land use change. Research line 2) relates to the impact of appropriation of land for commodities (e.g., the demand for cash crops such as soy, biofuels and land used for livestock production or conservation) on local communities, and the global economy and policies that may drive (the current or any) 'land grabs'. I will take into account the discourse, practices and social relationships around land use that are currently unfolding within the 'realpolitik' of a studied region. These phenomena are highly debated yet remain poorly understood and should become key analytical domains for academics insofar that they are related to broader processes of economic globalization, biodiversity loss and climate change. The findings will be complementary to climate change mitigation efforts and feed into policy processes around securing food security, with an objective to not only contribute to sustainable land use practices but to promote the livelihood opportunities and environmental quality of (often) marginalized communities living in and around contested land.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Positron resonant annihilation into darK mattER' (POKER).

assistant: **Concept**

The goal of POKER is to establish and demonstrate a new approach to search for light dark matter, based on a missing energy measurement with a positron-beam, active thick-target setup. Light dark matter is the new compelling hypothesis that identifies dark matter with new sub-GeV ""Hidden Sector"" states, neutral under Standard Model interactions and interfacing with our world through a new force. Accelerator-based searches at the intensity frontier are uniquely suited to explore it. However, current and planned efforts are either limited by the low sensitivity or the high backgrounds. This calls for a major breakthrough in the field.    The proposed approach overcomes this challenge. The new technique, based on light dark matter production through positron annihilation on atomic electrons, is characterized by a larger signal yield compared to previously explored reactions, and by a unique signal signature resulting from the underlying reaction dynamics: a peak in the missing energy distribution.  The re-analysis of traditional electron-beam missing energy results, where low-energy secondary positrons are present, has already shown the potential of this technique. POKER will demonstrate its sensitivity by preparing and running a pilot experiment at the CERN H4 beamline with an optimized detector. The test must fulfill strong requirements: the active thick-target must be capable of detecting each impinging particle at very large (MHz) rate, with excellent energy resolution, and to operate in a high radiation dose environment.    POKER will set the basis of the first optimized light dark matter search at a positron-beam facility, enabling sensitivity to a large variety of physics cases, from minimal models to more elaborate Hidden Sectors scenarios - such as the ""Strongl

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Zeros of random polynomials' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of this project is to study the zeros of random polynomials. Random polynomials appeared in the 1930's with the pioneering works of Bloch, Polya and Kac. The study of random polynomials gained a strong interest of the physicists since the 1990's due to their connexion with interaction particle systems such as electron gases (also called Coulomb gases). Random polynomials were first considered as a toy model for more complicated systems, but in the 2000's they appeared to exactly describe the behavior of certain Bose Gases.We want to understand the behavior of random polynomials at the macroscopic and microscopic scale. At the macroscopic scale, several questions naturally arise: Where can we locate the zeros? Are there isolated zeros far away from the rest of them? Can we describe the behavior of those isolated zeros? Very recent breakthrough (2019) were made in both localisation and isolated zeros for specific models of random pomynomials with some symmetry constraints. Our goal is to obtain general results on these questions. We plan to develop new ideas to tackle these questions, without relying on the symmetry structure.At the microscopic scale, we want to understand the local repartition of the zeros and the interaction between neighboors. This question lead to adapt concepts from mathematical physics such as the microscopic renormalized energy to the study of zeros of random polynomials. Recent studies also linked the local behavior of zeros of random polynomials to the zeros of Random Analytic Functions, which have a lot of connexions to several domains in mathematics (Analysis, Image processing, random matrix theory, mathematical physiqucs).The concept of renormaliazed energy is very recent (2017), and was introduced by Leblé and Serfaty to understand th

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Programming effects of early life stress exposure to bereavement on future health: a perspective in 6.7 million subjects in 3 European countries' (PROGEURO).

assistant: **Innovation**

There have been significant challenges in the research areas of: 1. Foetal PROGramming. The widely use of growth variables as the indicators of foetal environment remains the major methodological limitation. And no research in humans has been able to examine the biomarkers at different programming stages from exposure itself to disease in one single study. 2. Stress. It remains difficult to assess stress and to obtain data on long-term health in a large study. The biological programming effects of prenatal stress need to be elucidated. 3. Bereavement. There is a significant knowledge gap in health of children bereaved by the death of a close relative. 4. Register-based research. To combine the multi-national data is necessary to understand the aetiology and the impact of rare disease and the effects of certain risk factors. But such a first attempt will face many obstacles.The novel approaches in this study are designed to meet all the above challenges. The study uses data from 21 national databases in Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. The first component is a population-based cohort of 6.7 million children. Its objective is to examine the programming effects of an early stress exposure, bereavement during prenatal or early years in life, on a wide range of health outcomes. The second biological component is a proof of concept for foetal programming, examining biomarkers along the pathway from prenatal stress to disease.The study is feasible only in EUROpean settings, which will strengthen the European leadership in epidemiology and public health. It may start a new era for joint European research in public health. The challenges may lead to difficulties and uncertainties for the study, which could also be the source of new scientific insights, hypotheses, and theories.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Human-robot collaborative construction system for shotcrete digitization and automation through advanced perception, cognition, mobility and additive manufacturing skills' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

RobetArme will deliver a human-robot collaborative construction system for the automation of shotcrete (i.e. concrete spray casting), which is an emerging technology in construction domain. A multitasking Inspection-Reconnaissance mobile manipulator-IRR (ROB) will fuse the latest Geotechnical models (BIM/CIM) (DTT), high-density visual data and semantic SLAM (CERTH) representations to automate modelling and fast reconstruction (DTU) of the surface to be shotcreted. IRR will facilitate rebar reinforcement through metal additive manufacturing (ANIMA) capitalizing on its precise repair skills (EPFL). The Shotcrete and Finishing mobile manipulator ?SFR (COBOD) will apply dexterous concrete placement through closed-loop visual guidance methods, suitable for turbid conditions (KUL). Concrete mix-design and study on innovative reinforced cementitious materials (TITAN) will contribute to the reduction of materials? and water waste during shotcrete. The SFR robot equipped with universal tool changing (ROB) will also automate the surface finishing step through delicate and human-like robot manipulations, enabled from a safety operation toolkit that includes physical human-robot collaboration and human-aware navigation (CERTH). A Digital Twin (DTT) coupled with simulation tools (SDU), advanced decision making (ICE) and task planning (CERTH) skills will facilitate fast and greener shotcrete automation. RobetArme will be evaluated (DS4) on four diverse construction sites, i.e. tunnels/culverts (BYCN), bridges posttensioned boxes (ARUP), beams & piles of buildings (CEAS) and ground support walls (BYCN), assessing its autonomous shotcreting abilities. RobetArme will substantially increase the repair/maintenance automation, will foster adoption of robots in Construction 4.0 era (EFF),
