user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Integrated Wastewater Treatment Process using Mesh Filter Modules for Direct Activated Sludge Separation' (MESH) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The challenges of removing contaminations from wastewater with maximum reliability and efficiency by using wastewater treatment processes, plants and systems are growing, offering good opportunities for new and advanced technologies. One such innovative wastewater treatment system is the membrane bioreactor, an activated sludge process, where the secondary settling tank is substituted by a membrane filtration unit. Membrane bioreactors become a highly attractive system where stringent standards have to be met and because of their small footprint. However, membrane bioreactors still need further improvement for a wider spread application. The main hindrances are high investments for membrane modules and high costs for membrane replacement as well as high operation costs due to increased energy demand. The innovation of this project is to overcome these drawbacks by substituting membranes by a cheaper filtration technique, offering higher flux rates at lower filter pressures.As activated sludge appears in form of flocs, a coarser filter material can be used to separate activated sludge from treated wastewater. The retention of sludge flocs leads to the formation of a secondary layer on the mesh surface, which serves as the actual filter membrane. By this means, even smaller particles than suggested by the mesh size are retained. Because of its high pore size, the filter mesh resembles almost no filter resistance. Another principal problem of membranes is fouling. Persistent deposits can only be removed by intensive periodical cleaning with chemical agents. In the MESH system, the secondary layer is periodically removed and a fresh layer is built up. Thus, the problem of fouling can be largely avoided and less frequent and intensive cleaning is necessary. In summary this i

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Using gene to phenotype studies to identify type 1 diabetes genes and their functions'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Following the recent explosion of GWAS publications, we now have a much better grasp of the common genetic basis of many human complex traits. This dramatic development of genotyping and analytic technologies has allowed to characterize many novel variants associated with human disease. Nevertheless, the identification of these disease-associated loci hasn’t yet translated into a better understanding of the exact nature of the defects causing the pathologic manifestations.  In the current research project, we propose to assess the physiological role of the risk variants on relevant phenotypes to identify functional the causal genes associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) pathogenesis. To address this issue, we will develop highly sensitive and reproducible assays to measure the impact of the different genotypes on the selected phenotypes. By using this quantitative approach, we expect not only to be able to reduce the complexity inherent to the disease phenotype, but also to have the power and sensitivity to detect the important but quantitative physiological effects of common susceptibility alleles of low phenotypic penetrance.In this study we will develop highly sensitive molecular assays, and will take advantage of the core flow cytometry facilities to characterize the cell surface, cytokine production and signaling profile of immune subsets in individuals carrying specific risk alleles. Importantly, we will take advantage of our core genotyping and clinical databases to assess the impact of disease-associated genotypes on these quantitative phenotypes. By integrating the phenotyping data with a high throughput genotyping database in a large sample of individuals, we expect to translate the current knowledge of the genetic risk, into a more physiologically relevant con

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'FOREST BASED COMPOSITES FOR FAÇADES AND INTERIOR PARTITIONS TO IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY IN NEW BUILDS AND RESTORATION' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Indoor Air Quality and emissions from building materials have been over the last decades a major challenge for scientists, industry and consumers. Traditional construction materials contribute to contaminants such as VOCs, formaldehyde, particulates and fibres. However, new eco-innovative building materials are able to provide a healthier indoor environment both by substituting source of contamination and by elimination of contaminants arisen from other indoor sources.Within OSIRYS proposal a holistic solution for facades and interior partitions will be developed ready to be applied in building retroffiting and new construction by means of the development of forest based biocomposites with different functionalities able to meet the strictest requisites of the Building Code and improve indoor air quality by VOC and microorganisms elimination, increase thermal and acoustic insulation and control breathability of the construction systems.Thermoset epoxy resin based in forest wastes and thermoplastic lignin-base polymer will be reinforced with natural fibres such as wood, flax, hemp, etc. Besides, cork granules will be used for insulation performance. Special attention will be put on additives, especially fire retardants, to meet cost/processability/performance ratio. However, it is expected that biomass feedstock in each building element will be >75%, what allows to reduce embodied energy on building materials by more than 25%.Research activities will include: development and testing of the new eco-innovative materials; design and engineering to ensure the technical viability, aesthetical aspect and ease to incorporate the system in building retrofit actions; LCA; evaluation of the reuse and recycling; study on the adequateness to the requirements of the Building Code; dem

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Concept for Low-risk Efficient Area Reduction based on the Fusion of Advanced Sensor Technologies'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The ClearFast aims at improving the efficiency and safety of humanitarian demining operation by(1)reducing the false alarm rate,(2)increasing the clearance rate,(3)increasing the rate of survey.CLEARFAST proposes 3 main innovations:(1)A new step concept for minefield survey;(2)for the 1st step, implementation of a novel Analysis of image sequence under changing natural illumination using a Multi-temporal & Multi-spectral IR(MSIR)sensor optimised for background rejection;(3)for the 2nd step, a Motion-driven data fusion using Ground Penetrating Radar, electromagnetic Metal Detector with sensitivity adaptation and MSIR reducing the well-known weaknesses of IR imaging.CLEARFAST proposes a system qualification both in a controlled environment and in realistic conditions. Although Level 2 survey is the main application area, CLEARFAST may be used for Level 3 of quality assurance. Objectives: The ClearFast objective is to improve the efficiency and safety of demining operation by(1) reducing the false alarm rate,(2) increasing the clearance rate by proving more accurate survey data,(3) increasing the rate of survey.To achieve this objective, ClearFast aims at developing a robust mine detection system, relying on fusion of multiple sensor data - GPR, IR, MD. The system performance, however, ultimately depends on the performance of the individual sensors. Hence ClearFast will reduce the well-known weaknesses of IR imaging by implementing a novel multi-temporal/multi-spectral IR system. The MD array will be adapted in sensitivity to achieve improved detection and imaging capabilities. Besides the technological innovations, ClearFast proposes a novel concept for Level 2 surveys, and validation in a controlled environment and in realistic conditions.Work description: ClearFast deve

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Engineering high quality crops by optimizing lysine, methionine and cystine content' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

This proposed project consists of a multi-disciplinary approach to genetically modify the lysine, methionine and cystine content of plants in order to optimise sink-source interactions to ultimately improve potato and maize crop quality. An integrated approach has been designed, combining different sets of manipulations backed up by a comprehensive biochemical analysis of the generated alterations. The analysis will consider especially the impact of overproduction of the amino acids on whole plant physiology and development.The laboratories participating to this project, intend to focus on the regulation of the amino acids derived from aspartate (lysine, threonine, methionine) as well as cystine, the sulphur donor of methionine. This allows to build up a co-operative, integrated programme to elucidate the biochemical and molecular regulation of the biosynthetic enzymes of the aspartate and sulphur amino acid pathways with respect to developmental patterns, tissue and organ specific expression, induction or repression by exogenous stimuli and cross pathway interaction. Overproduction of essential amino acids and improved nutritional quality will be achieved by expressing chimeric genes of plant, fungal and bacterial origin and/or by antisensing plant genes. Coexpression in sink tissues (as tubers or seeds) of genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes and novel sink proteins (rich in lysine or methionine) will increase protein production and reduce the turnover of overproduced free amino acids. This programme focusses on potato and maize as target crop plants for increasing the content of essential amino acids in their respective storage organs. The main points of this proposal can be defined as follows: 1) Detailed molecular analysis of genes encoding enzymes involved in synth

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'SECURE EUROPEAN COMMON INFORMATION SPACE FOR THE INTEROPERABILITY OF FIRST RESPONDERS AND POLICE AUTHORITIES' (SECTOR) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The management of crisis is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. The ever growing human, economic and environmental losses due to natural and man-made disasters evidence the need for a systematic approach to the management of crisis. A multi-disciplinary understanding and disaster risk management is required. In such situations, Collaborative Crisis Management (CCM) is usually coordinated by local authorities or dedicated civil protection organisations, supported by a variety of different national and international crisis management organisations, all acting relatively autonomously. The process is typically coordinated through periodic physical meetings of the involved organisations, in which information is shared about the situation, priorities are set and responsibilities allocated. Follow-up and execution of tasks is managed by each individual organisation, typically supported by a range of not interoperable information management tools, depending on the level of informatisation of the local or national crisis management systems.SECTOR aims at establishing the foundations of future Common CCM Information Spaces by expanding the European scientific knowledge base on (cross-border) multi-agency CCM processes and the complications these imply when aiming at setting-up and design cross-border supporting information Systems.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Role of health-related claims and symbols in consumer behaviour'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Health-related claims and symbols may be potentially influential in supporting informed choice, furthering healthier consumer food choices, and strengthening competitiveness of the European food industry in bringing about food products that support a healthier lifestyle. However, current insights into how health symbols and claims are understood and used in real-world shopping situations are limited, making it difficult to derive recommendations on the wording and design of health claims and symbols, including the context in which these appear on the food label. The objectives of this project are to determine how health-related symbols and claims, in their context, are understood by consumers, and how they affect purchasing and consumption, taking into account both individual differences in needs and wants and country-specific differences with regard to use of health claims and symbols. Guidelines will be developed for EU policy directed towards health-related symbols and claims, and a set of methods will be developed that can be used by policy-makers and industry to assess the effects of health claims and symbols as these appear on the market. The project will draw heavily on the involvement of stakeholders from the whole food sector to ensure results with high practical relevance.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Development of bistable thin film lines and nanowires for magnetic computing' (BIMACOMPULINES) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project aims to develop magnetic bistable lines for magnetic computing. Bistability is a known effect in macroscopic wires or ribbons but it has never been achieved in thin films or nanowires. The physical principle behind bistability is based on developing a helical anisotropy so the magnetization has only two possible states of minimal energy, depending on the chirality.In order to get a helical magnetic configuration across the thickness of the film, the exchange energy has to be weakened to minimize the otherwise huge energy that an in-plane domain wall would have. A way to do that is inserting layers of a weaker ferromagnet (like Gadolinium or CuCo) in the bulk of the primary ferromagnet.Bistability in nanowires would be the final stage of the project. Following the knowledge developed on films, it is expected that a similar behaviour could be observed in nanowires. They could be deposited by electrodeposition on porous membranes with a rotating magnetic field (to achieve the helical configuration) and dissolve the membrane afterwards. A bistable film could be patterned into tracks with only two single states of magnetization (easily read as 0 and 1).The speed of switching is very high and the current required for the switching could be quite low (and the same current could be used to switch an arbitrary number of tracks/wires, in this way minimizing the power consumed). There are huge obvious applications to the computing world, where Europe has done very little research to date (transmitting magnetization states between reading heads or tunnel barriers or simply transmit a large word with only one gate that would change the state of all the tracks-wires).The final approach on bistable nanowires is the next step to further miniaturization. The outcome of this

user: Describe how 'Cell death: from basic principles to therapeutic application' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Deregulation of cell death causes many human diseases, e.g. cancer, which represent major social and health challenges. This RTN links up 13 academic and 2 industrial partners of recognised international stature in a well-defined collaborative research project to provide a platform for structured training, transfer of knowledge (ToK) and career development in cell death research. The joint project aims at deciphering molecular mechanisms of cell death to develop better cancer therapies (new prognostic biomarkers, new cancer drugs), relevant to the objective of combating cancer (priority 1, 6th framework program). Translation of new knowledge from bench-to-bedside is fostered by interdisciplinary and intersectorial ToK. Innovation and commercial exploitation is facilitated by academia-industry cooperation including an SME. The network's training program addresses important and timely training/ToK needs and fully exploits the network's interdisciplinary, intersectorial and transeuropean potential, combining loc al specialist with network-wide training adapted to the targeted researchers. Visits/secondments including an industrial placement, education in complementary skills and mentoring should advise trainees on new opportunities for multiple career paths, taking into account the broader needs of the European labour market for researchers. All this contributes to create a new European cadre of researchers with interdisciplinary/intersectorial skills, technical excellence, flexibility and humanity. The network realises European added value by integrating different disciplines, industry-academia cooperation, overcoming fragmentation, structuring the European Research Area through integration of New Member and Associated Countries and less-favoured regions, promoting women
