user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Whole Life Rail Axle Assessment and Improvement Using Ultrasonic Phased array and Corrosion Inspection Systems'.

assistant: **Concept**

The overall objective of the RAAI project is to develop novel NDT solutions for the corrosion assessment and crack detection as well as reliability software for high cycle variable amplitude corrosion fatigue of rail axles. Currently, the most sensitive non-destructive testing methods for inspection of rail axles are surface inspection methods designed for crack detection (such as MPI, eddy current and ACFM) and these do not typically attempt to measure corrosion. Besides current trend is that axles are withdrawn from service long before their design lives because of suspected corrosion developed on the axle surface. The decision to withdraw from service is taken without the full knowledge of the way in which the failure will result from corrosion as this requires a crack to initiate and the mechanism for this is unknown. RAAI aims to develop two novel methods: 1) corrosion assessment 2) phased array ultrasonic. The first method assesses the effect of corrosion on high-cycle fatigued component such as the axle and evaluates its remnant life thereby improving the sentencing of corroded axles. The second method is specifically for hollow axles of high speed trains and aims to improve the speed of the inspection (by 75%) and improve crack detection reliability (almost 100% with a crack of 2-3 mm depth) without dismantling the wheel-set and with minimum time of inspection. The primary impact of the project is to improve the competitiveness of the SMEs in the project by enabling them to provide NDT solutions to reducing the cost of and improving the safety margins of rolling stock operation. The consortium SMEs already have a presence in the railway inspection market and will have improved access to the €2 billion per annum market for in-service inspection equipment and serv

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Bringing Industry 4.0 to the hands of small manufacturers: Feasibility study for scaling up Katana smart workshop software' (KATANA) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

People all over the world are increasingly empowered to seek fulfilment in their lives by turning passions into daily jobs. Scalable sales channels like Etsy and Amazon help them do so, by making it possible to find buyers even for the most niche businesses. However, there are no affordable tools besides Excel that could help designers, crafters and small manufacturers manage their operations efficiently. Spreadsheets do not scale with a growing business. There are a myriad of resource planning platforms out there, but for small businesses, they are too expensive, overcrowded with unnecessary features, or lack essential integrations to other widely used platforms (e-commerce, accounting, etc).In any small business, processes like sales, production, inventory and purchasing are treated as a single unified flow. This is very different from large enterprises, in which functions like these are split into departments. Small manufacturers need a solution that would help them manage daily work from sourcing raw materials, to manufacturing and sales, to distribution and shipping. Katana is the first Smart Workshop Software, designed to revolutionise the way modern designers, crafters and makers work. Katana is the only affordable smart workshop management software on the market, which scales seamlessly as its users’ grow their businesses. Katana brings Industry 4.0 to the hands of small entrepreneurs by helping them automate and scale their daily work.Our clients are designers, crafters, makers and small entrepreneurs: over 2 million micro- and small-sized manufacturing enterprises in Europe and around 250 000 in the US. The platform and our business model are validated by paying customers. The main objective of the Phase 1 project is to further develop our business model to ad

user: Describe how 'Development, characterisation and scaling of atomizers for a combustion technology that offers significant fuel savings and drastic reductions in both co2 and no emissions ('OIL-TECH')' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Our proposal is concerned with High Temperature Air Combustion (HTAC) technology for refinery heaters and industrials furnaces fired with oil. The technology utilizes heat regeneration at the burner that allows the combustion air to be pre-heated to temperatures up to 1300°C./ Fuel savings up to 30% are feasible, and dramatic reductions in NO emissions are achievable. Heat fluxes of the order of 350 KW/m² were observed, together with an excellent uniformity of the heat flux distribution. Recent trials demonstrated that the key to a successful application of the HTAC technology is in oil atomisation. Within the projects we will(a) design twelve oil atomizers for the HTAC,(b) assess their performance under isothermal and combusting conditions, and(c) develop a theory for scaling of oil atomizers.All the project deliverables have been achieved. The programme has been extended to include an additional scale (thermal input) of 300 kW. We have developed a number of oil atomizers that guarantee particulates emissions substantially lower than the 50 mg/Nm3 limit when firing a heavy fuel oil, see Figure 2. In order to keep the CO-emissions level below 10 ppm, the furnace exit oxygen level have to be kept typically above 2%.Figure 2. Particulates emissions for different atomizers (1 MW thermal input). When firing a light oil the particulates emissions have been always below 10 mg/Nm3. Under very specific conditions at 8 kW thermal input the optimized HTAC process has delivered zero NOx and zero CO furnace emissions. Graphs showings the atomizer scaling relationships have been generated.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Expert system based predictions of demand for internal transport in Europe' (EXPEDITE).

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of EXPEDITE is to produce multi-modal demand forecasts for the years 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 for all travel in Europe, covering all distance bands for passenger and freight movements, to identify core and competitive submarkets and to identify 'efficient' policies or policy 'bundles' to achieve certain policy aims in the areas of modal shift and intermodality.EXPEDITE aims will be achieved by merging the results which can be produced by available national transport model systems for passenger and freight demand with the results European passenger and freight transport models. EXPEDITE is designed to provide scenario-specific forecasts for passenger and freight together with analyses to identify core/competitive sub-markets within the broader picture of O/D flows and to highlight the policy sensitivity of the submarkets to different policies.

user: Explain how 'Natural Language Processing to learn the language of the Human Genome' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Natural language processing (NLP) models trained on text without explicit supervision can have groundbreaking performance. They can develop a notion for grammar, syntax, and semantics, thus learning the structure of language. However, while we have defined the rules in our language, we only have a basic understanding about the linguistics of our genome. In this project, our goal is to treat the human genome as a sequence of text and apply NLP techniques to the human DNA sequence. We will establish byte-pair tokenization to generate vocabulary from DNA sequence and analyse attention maps to see the training relationship between different “words” of the genome. We will then further investigate the language rules using methods from corpus linguistics. Together, this will allow us to explore the grammar, syntax, and semantics hidden in the genome and capture their biological meaning. For proof-of-principle, we will perform several biological prediction tasks with fine-tuning models, built on top of the pretrained model. First, we will take popular genomic prediction tasks to benchmark our approach, such as predicting genome elements, transcription, and precision of genome editing. Then we will add some novel tasks around genome stability using available multi-omics data. Throughout the project we will implement techniques for interpretable learning and strategies to observe, control, and prevent ethnic biases in our approach.  We expect for large language models to change how we, as a scientific field, approach genomics data analysis and expect our models to establish how these techniques can be applied efficiently, transparently, and in a bias-reduced way.  In addition to general understanding of genome biology, we plan to use our models in the future for technical improve

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'New approach to Wearable devices wireless performance testing' (WearMark) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Wearable devices, such as smart glasses, smart watches, hearables, fitness and health trackers or even smart fashion, are noticeably starting to take an important role among our everyday technology. Thousands of new devices are launched every year and the trend is expected to accelerate in the coming years.As the market grows, more companies are engaging in the business and developing their own devices. To keep their products competitive, time-to-market, product quality and performance are becoming critical factors for the developers, and repetitive performance testing during the R&D cycle is necessary to achieve an advantage. However, there are very few professional testing services on the market for wearable devices, and developers are forced to conduct time-consuming and expensive wired field tests on their own.Verkotan Oy is a Finnish testing house that has created a novel, accurate and versatile method and measurement environment for wearable devices’ wireless performance measurements, benchmarking and competitor analysis using Over the Air (OTA) testing. The new method remarkably shortens testing cycles, cuts the product development time and saves on average €100,000-200,000 per project for the developers.The WearMark project helps Verkotan to assess the business potential and economic feasibility of the proposed innovation, and focuses on:• Creating a Business plan to define the best strategy for the commercialization of the method; • Conducting a freedom-to-operate study to ensure no other patents are infringed by the proposed project; • Technical feasibility assessment of the OTA test environment on Healthcare & Medical, Sports, and Industrial Smart Clothing wearables categories.The global retail revenue from wearables is expected to reach €49.4 billion by 2019

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Understanding the interplay of insulin/IGF signalling with endocrine hormones in ageing' (INSULAGE) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aim of the proposed research is to understand how Insulin/IGF signalling (IIS) interplays with other major hormone systems in Drosophila ageing. Ageing is a decline in survival probability and reproduction with advancing age. Reductions in IIS have bee n shown to extend lifespan and to reduce fecundity in invertebrates and mammals. I propose to use the power of molecular genetic manipulation and demographic measurements to determine how the cellular and systemic elements of IIS, ecdysone and juvenile hormone signalling regulate ageing and fecundity in Drosophila.The insulin-like peptides of Drosophila (DILPs) are peptide hormone expressed in neurosecretory cells (NSCs) in the brain. Their expression is affected by nutrients, and regulates growth, glucose metabolism, reproduction and aging. The steroid hormone ecdysone and the sesquiterpenoid Juvenile hormone (JH) were discovered originally as molting hormones, but also influence reproduction and ageing in the adult. The mechanisms by which these hormonal systems interact, and how they regulate ageing and fecundity are not understood.The proposed research project has two objectives:1. To assess the interactions between IIS and ecdysone signalling in the determination of lifespan and fecundity in Drosophila:(a) Does ECD signalling affects IIS or DILP-production and(b) Does IIS affects the production of ECD in the ovary or elsewhere.2. To assess regulation of juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis in the corpora allata (CA) by insulin/IGF-like signalling (IIS).The results will be of direct relevance to human ageing, and could lead to the development of new drugs against obesity, diabetes and age-related decline in function.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Application of reduced space modeling and sparse experimental restraints to  structure determination of proteins and protein assemblies' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The knowledge of protein structures is critical for understanding of molecular machinery, discovering metabolic pathways, rational drug design and many other aspects of life at the molecular level. The number of currently know protein sequences however greatly outnumber known protein structures. Moreover this gap is rapidly growing. Therefore in the past few decades a number of theoretical approaches have been proposed for computational prediction of protein structures.  During this project a novel protocol for protein structure prediction will be developed. A new software will be written, tested and applied on a genomic scale. The approach will be based on novel methodological advances, developed during the project. Among the most important elements are:  (i) Multiscale approach: during a modeling process it will be possible to switch between several levels of coarse-graining. Low resolution protein representation will be used for an extremely efficient conformational search. Promising regions of solutions space will be further explored by a more detailed and more accurate model.  (ii) A new family of force fields will be designed for accurate calculation of protein's energy at each of levels of coarse-graining (i.e. a separate force field for each levels of coarse-graining).  (iii) Novel Monte Carlo techniques will be applied and tuned for further speed-up of conformational sampling. Monte Carlo methods will be also applied at the stage of force field development.  (iv) Experimental information obtained from SAXS, EM, NMR, mutagenesis and other techniques will be used to direct the search of the conformational space and to increase modeling accuracy.  The novel protocol developed during this project allow for structure determination of proteins and protein-protein com

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Cultural and Natural Heritage in Arctic and Sub-Antarctic Regions for a Cross-Cultural and Sustainable Valorisation Process and Tourism Development: Siberia, Lapland and Patagonia' (POLARIS) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project intends to undertake a comparative study of three different regions: Siberia (Russia), Lapland (Sweden) and Patagonia (Argentina). These regions have a series of common features as regards their natural and cultural heritage, and are destined to experience similar changes due to the global warming and globalisation processes.The protection and the promotion of cultures, territories and heritages strengthen a socio-economical development process for local communities. Such sustainable valorization should generate high level know-how and good practices that can be transferred to specific territories with national and international protection (National Park, National Reserves, UNESCO labels, etc.). Huge natural spaces in Arctic and Sub-Antartic regions get specific attention from international community (UN and EU) due to current global warming and the impacts of climate change on cultures and territories. These regions have fragile ecosystems that can be rapidly damaged by mass tourism or by a not well-controlled development strategy implemented by public institutions or private companies. This project aims at studying these extreme regions, training professionals working in public administrations in order to improve their educational background, and students with postgraduate curricula linked to tourism, geography, natural heritage, politics and social economics. Cross-cultural training transfers and valorization processes applied to the fields of tourism studies and the tourism industries, as well as cultural heritage and regional development of territories will be offered. Long term sustainable actions will be implemented at international level, such as an International Network of Regional Tourism Observatories and e-Learning platform to diffuse collected

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Enhanced clinching joints through an added planetary radial kinematics' (1998-2002) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

This proposal suggests a new clinching technology, that will require significantly decreased joining forces (<50% compared to conventional systems) to form a round clinch joint. Additionally the strength of the joints will be greatly increased (>150%). This may even offer a chance to apply clinching technology in crash-relevant parts. The new approach is cased on a planetary radial motion of the punch that is superimposed on the conventional linear motion perpendicular tithe plane of the metal sheets to be joined. Thus the contact spot between sheet and punch is moving along a closed curve causing a partial cold forming process along the curve. This process enforces a radial material flow that forms the interlock of the clinch joint The proposal has two goals:1. Identifying the influence of relevant parameters on the process and getting an optimised, stable process;2. achieving a radial clinching system concept and building a prototype system
