user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Targeted research action on waste minimisation and recycling' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

TRAWMAR PROJECTS OVERVIEWThe recognition, throughout the European Union and indeed the rest of the world, that sustainable growth should be the controlling process for guiding the development of technology through the millennium and beyond, is now well established. The more difficult problem is defining the content and thrust of the effort necessary to convert the recognition into practice and then demonstrating, through best practice, the techniques and technology appropriate to reinforce the value of sustainibility. The value can and should be measured by both environmental as well as financial gains and there is no more logical starting point than Targeted Research Action on Waste Minimisation and Recycling (TRAWMAR). TRAWMAR has as its initial objective the task of arranging regular annual forums at which the representatives of EU supported R&D projects meet to present their own studies, hear invited review papers and through the medium of focused workshops, identify technological opportunities that may form or be incorporated into both new programmes or projects. TRAWMAR brings together industry, universities and other research groups into a Network of closer involvement to promote technology related to processes and techniques that will reduce waste and improve the reuse of parts of materials. To provide even more focus, four Clusters have been created within TRAWMAR that permit close participation in similar areas and yet allow interchange within the Network as a whole. EUROPEAN DIMENSION AND PARTNERSHIP It is estimated that Europe produces over 423 tones of waste each year, of which the industrial and common waste account for 182 and 160 million tones respectively, whilst some 22 million tones of dangerous or toxic waste is also produced. Throughout the EU much

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Advanced Protection Systems (APROSYS)' (APROSYS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The IP on Advanced Protective Systems (APROSYS) will focus on scientific and technology development in the field of passive safety (crash safety). The field of passive safety concerns in particular human biomechanics (injury mechanisms and criteria), vehicle and infrastructure crashworthiness and occupant and road user protection systems. The general objective of APROSYS is the development and introduction of critical technologies that improve passive safety for all European road users in all-relevant accident types and accident severities. The consortium consists of 51 partners: 9 top vehicle manufacturers, 8 suppliers and other industries, 4 SMEs, 13 universities and 13 research institutes, 4 representative organisations from 12 EU Member States. APROSYS objectives/outputs are: 1) Development of new injury criteria and injury tolerance. 2) Development of new mathematical models of the human body (crash & pre-crash phase, arbitrary body sizes). 3) Development of a new world-wide harmonised crash dummy for representation of a small female car occupant (side impact). 4) Development of knowledge and tools enabling the design, implementation and evaluation of intelligent safety systems. 5) Enhancement of virtual testing technology for design and evaluation of crash protection methods. 6) Development of advanced protection systems for injury reduction of pedestrians and pedal cyclists (front impact, primary & second impact). 7) Development of advanced protection systems including compatibility strategies for injury reduction of car occupants (front & side impacts). 8) Development of advanced protection systems for injury reduction in most relevant accident type involving heavy trucks. 9) Development of advanced protection systems for reduction (number, severity) of injuries

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Cross-Layer Design of Securing Positioning' (CSP).

assistant: **Innovation**

With the development of new location-based services and the expected deployment of cyber-physical systems (e.g., autonomous cars and drones) the reliance on location and time information in critical applications will only increase. Today's positioning systems are vulnerable to location spoofing by which devices can cheat on their own positions or can manipulate the measured positions of other devices. This problem cannot be fixed by a simple upgrade - existing positioning systems rely on legacy distance measurement techniques and protocols that were designed without security considerations or with security as an after-thought. We therefore need a new approach to the design of positioning systems that takes security requirements into account from the very start, and also accounts for the way that positioning systems are built and used. This is a cross-layer endeavor. In this project we will address the following fundamental questions: (1) Physical Layer. How can we design the right distance measurement (i.e., distance bounding) techniques that provide resilience to physical-layer and logical-layer attacks but retain the performance (range, accuracy and speed of execution) of equivalent non-secure systems? We will extend the existing knowledge in terms of the attacker models as well as achievable limits of security and performance of distance measurement techniques under realistic attacker models. (2) Link Layer. What are the right Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for secure positioning, what are their performance and scalability limits? (3) Systems. How can distance bounding be integrated in mobile platforms, especially with trusted execution environments. How can this integration strengthen the security of distance bounding and support its use in a wide range of ap

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The Western European Acheulian Project' (WEAP) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The Western European Acheulean Project (WEAP) aims to characterize the occupational pattern of western Europe during the Middle Pleistocene (MP) –700 to 300Ka–, through the study of Acheulean technology. Recent research has shown that the Atlantic seaboard is the most likely route for colonisation due to the more oceanic climate compared to eastern Europe and to the richer range of resources in coastal areas. Due to cyclical changes in climate with glaciations and interglacials, northern Europe was frequently depopulated and then recolonized through this period probably from source areas in southern France and Iberia. This route-way should therefore bear witness to the cultural links between north and south. From 1 million to 600,000 years ago there is evidence of brief pioneering events in north-west Europe with a small number of sites and small numbers of stone tool artefacts. After 600,000 year ago more sustained occupation is shown by the increase in sites and the much large stone tool assemblages. They also show technological innovation in the form handaxes and possibly in the use of fire, clothing and shelter, which led to the first sustained occupation of northern latitudes. Although there has been much research and new sites excavated over the last twenty years, there has been little integration between the work in Spain, Britain and France. Based on the applicant’s previous experience, WEAP proposes to create a common method of analysis for the study of six Middle Pleistocene sites from UK and France –in agreement with three Middle Pleistocene technologists–, the use of the experimental technology to complete the archaeological record, and the use of new methodological approaches, such as the 3D scanning technology as the most appropriated statistical analysis,

user: Explain how 'Metabolic engineering of the pyruvate dehydrogenase and nadh oxidizing systems in lactococcus lactis' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Lactic acid bacteria have a relatively simple carbon and energy metabolism and pyruvate is the central intermediate in the metabolism of carbohydrates in L.lactis. The metabolic flux through pyruvate can be modulated by overproduction of specific enzymes (alpha-acetolactate synthase and pyruvate decarboxylase) and by deletion of the gene for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).  This project entails two new strategies for metabolic flux control in l.Lactis. Activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) will result in extra energy conservation = extra cell mass during acetate production. Inactivation of PDH under aerobic conditions will favour the production of flavour compounds diacetyl and acetaldehyde by L.lactis. The metabolism in L.lactis can be influenced by aeration. This is caused by decreased levels of NADH in the cells as a result of oxidation. If a specific enzyme is involved, we will engineer lactic acid bacteria with enhanced activity. This should lead to the lactic acid fermentations that can be switched effectively to complete other product formation by aeration.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Analysis of Low-cost Original Holographic Antenna: Theoretical OveRvIew, NOtes, StudY, DesigN, and EasY Implementation' (2007-2013), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The proposal aimed to the theoretical investigation, the numerical study and the experimental characterization of holographic antennas (HA) based on microstrip technology. Studies of holograms have been started at optical frequencies to obtain virtual images as a result of interference of two polarized electromagnetic waves. The first applications of holograms at microwave frequency are date back to 70’, but nowadays the topic is at the edge of the interest of the scientific community. There are various research groups studying antennas based on this principle, since holographic surfaces offer new potentialities in this field. HA indicates a group of antennas in which the radiating aperture is formed by a conductive metallic like pattern on a surface-wave carrying grounded (multi)layer dielectric substrate. The hologram is obtained by recording the resulting interference between two polarized electromagnetic waves at the air-substrate interface. Exciting the hologram with only one of these two waves the second one is generated. The hologram is view as variable surface impedance: its synthesis is realized by width modulated microstrip lines. The periodic arrangement of such structures allows the generation of a substrate that supports slow waves, mandatory for the coupling between the surface and space waves. The control of the phase velocity, i.e. the surface impedance, is achieved by adequately vary the width of a microstrip line inside the unit cells. This method has been recently submitted to be patented. Antennas based on this principle present various advantages. The main important one is the polarization purity of the radiated field. The absence of the feeder in the front of the antenna eliminates the blockage; hence a higher gain can be achieved. The proposed low

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Software management of non-volatile memory hierarchies' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

This project will investigate techniques for software management of hybrid memory hierarchies composed of conventional DRAM memory technology and upcoming non-volatile memory (NVRAM) technology. The scientific objective is to gain understanding of the memory behavior of programs and to construct co-designed hardware/software policies for NVRAM management based on this understanding. The technological objective is to enable a step-change reduction in the memory system’s energy consumption. Energy and cost efficiency are becoming as important as processing power in computing systems. Major reductions of energy consumption will enable high-performance computing facilities to reach exascale performance, which will in turn enable scientific advances in computational physics, biology and other computational sciences.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Green fertilizer upcycling from manure: Technological, economic and environmental sustainability demonstration'.

assistant: **Concept**

European pigs and cows jointly produce about 1.27 billion tonnes of manure per year, a largely unexploited resource of organic carbon and nutrients, and therefore an exquisite ‘mining’ opportunity. ManureEcoMine proposes an integrated approach to the treatment and reuse of animal husbandry waste in nitrate vulnerable and sensitive areas and beyond, by applying the eco-innovative principles of sustainability, resource recovery and energy efficiency. Technologies of proven efficacy in the wastewater treatment field will be combined in several process configurations to demonstrate their technological and environmental potential at pilot scale for cow and pig manure. Anaerobic digestion (mesophilic/thermophilic), ammonia stripping, struvite precipitation and partial nitritation/anammox will be key technologies. To render the cradle-to-cradle approach complete, the fertilizer and potential trace contaminants effects of recovered nutrients on plant growth and soil health and emissions will established, and safety will be managed. Life cycle analyses will determine the sustainability of the concept as such, and identify the most environmentally friendly technology and most effective and safe reuse strategy. Finally, the boundaries of economic viability will be determined.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Cell permeable peptides as drug delivery system: a way towards innovative therapeutic strategies for neurodegeneration'.

assistant: **Concept**

Peptides and small molecules able to modulate protein-protein interaction as well as intracellular pathways leading to neurodegeneration and cell death hold a great potential as innovative therapeutic strategies with which to probe and manipulate biological pathways. The need to deliver these biologically active agents into cells has encouraged to develop various transducing vectors.  In this view, cell permeable peptides conjugates represent a novel, versatile and extremely powerful way of blocking the propagation of intracellular signaling events or intracellular protein complexes, thus being an useful tools for both creating innovative animal models and to design innovative therapeutic strategies. The project aims to foster a dynamic pathway between academic research organizations and private commercial enterprises based on a longer term co-operation programme in the field of innovative therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. The project will focus on the following specific objectives:  i) Identify and verify appropriate targets, making use of innovative animal models to develop blocking/inhibitory small molecules; ii) Design appropriate cell permeable peptides and develop proteases resistant vectors. The projects goal will be sustained by concrete transfer of knowledge assured by bidirectional secondments and recruitment of external expertise. Further, the strong complementarities of competencies of the partners involved will be instrumental: through knowledge sharing and intersectorial mobilities the project will lead to develop new generation of drugs tackling with unprecedented specificity pathways of degeneration in neuronal cells. The intersectorial two-ways transfer of knowledge proposed in the project will strongly accelerate the all process f

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The other side of optogenetics: multicolored genetically encoded hybrid voltage sensors (GEVOS) for ultrafast membrane potential measurements in cortical microcircuits' (GEVOS) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Optogenetics are used to activate or silence specific sets of neurons, intracellular signaling pathways, or to examine brain structure at an unprecedented detail.  The only optogenetic approach lagging behind all others is the genetically encoded optical monitoring of multi-neuronal activity at a time resolution of single action potentials. Such ultrafast (<1 ms) resolution is important to understand network function in healthy and diseased nervous systems because timing of neuronal firing and synchrony are the foremost determinants of brain function.  Techniques exist to measure membrane voltage and/or cellular activity using optical probes, but all have drawbacks either in their genetic targeting, optical sensitivity and/or temporal resolution. Recent developments using genetically encoded hybrid voltage sensor (GEVOS) methodology showed that this approach has an excellent potential to become an ultrafast voltage sensing system. The GEVOS technique can easily be adapted to work with multiple colors simultaneously, thus recording the activities of genetically distinct cell types in the same preparation. The overall objective of this proposal is to advance the GEVOS method so that it can be used with multiple colors simultaneously in at least two different genetically targetable cell types. Two major advances are sought after in this proposal: a technical/ methodological innovation (improve upon the GEVOS technique and extend it to two fluorescent proteins) and a scientific vision.  The latter relates to gaining insights into the parallel functioning of local microcircuits and the optical recording of the concurrent behavior of pre- and postsynaptic elements during GABAergic inhibition. These studies will advance high temporal resolution optical voltage sensing (the oth
