user: Draft an impact statement for 'Robots learning about objects from externalized knowledge sources', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

While today’s robots are able to perform sophisticated tasks, they can only act on objects they have been trained to recognize. This is a severe limitation: any robot will inevitably face novel situations in unconstrained settings, and thus will always have knowledge gaps. This calls for robots able to learn continuously about objects by themselves. The learning paradigm of state-of-the-art robots is the sensorimotor toil, i.e. the process of acquiring knowledge by generalization over observed stimuli. This is in line with cognitive theories that claim that cognition is embodied and situated, so that all knowledge acquired by a robot is specific to its sensorimotor capabilities and to the situation in which it has been acquired. Still, humans are also capable of learning from externalized sources – like books, illustrations, etc – containing knowledge that is necessarily unembodied and unsituated. To overcome this gap, RoboExNovo proposes a paradigm shift. I will develop a new generation of robots able to acquire perceptual and semantic knowledge about object from externalized, unembodied resources, to be used in situated settings. As the largest existing body of externalized knowledge, I will consider the Web as the source from which to learn from. To achieve this, I propose to build a translation framework between the representations used by robots in their situated experience and those used on the Web, based on relational structures establishing links between related percepts and between percepts and the semantics they support. My leading expertise in machine learning applied to multi modal data and robot vision puts me in a strong position to realize this project. By enabling robots to use knowledge resources on the Web that were not explicitly designed to be access

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Analysis of candidate genes for the susceptibility to lung cancer in patients under 50 years old', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

There is much interest on whether some individuals are more genetically susceptible than others to developing lung cancer. Genetic polymorphisms in genes involved in the metabolism of tobacco, DNA repair, cell cycle control, and nicotine addiction are ca ndidate to determine such a susceptibility. A tool to study the genetic susceptibility is to carry out case-control association studies with a high quality information on lifestyle and to have high-throughput technologies for genotyping a broad selection of genes. During the MCF fellowship period, we set up an oligonucleotide micro-array based on arrayed primer extension technology (APEX) that allows the parallel high-throughput genotyping of 158 single nucleotide polymorphisms in 51 candidate genes. T he genes are reported as follows: ADH1B, ALDH2, APE1, CDKN2A, COMT, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4, DRD2, DRD4, EPHX1, ERCC1, ERCC2, ERCC4, ERCC5, GRPR, GSTA2, GSTA4, GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTP1, GSTT2, LIG3, MDM2, MGMT, MnSOD2, MPO, MPC, MTHFR, NATI, NAT2, NQO1, OGGI, CDKN1A, PCNA, POLB, SLC6A3, SULT1A1, TP53, TPMT, UGT1A7, XRCC1, XRCC2, XRCC3, XRCC9. We called this microarray \MetaboChip\" and we have already validated it by genotyping a standard reference sample se t (SNP500 from NCI). Now, we are aiming to use MetaboChip to genotype a cohort of DNA samples (310 patients, 310 controls) who are part of a larger multicentric case-control study. To better investigate the role of genetics, we will focus on patients who developed the disease before the age of 50 years. Most of the polymorphisms included in MetaboChip are demonstrated to have a biological significance and the study will allow testing hypothesis of the interaction between tobacco-smoke and genotypes (hyp othesis testing).

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Nanoengineered Nanoparticles and Quantum Dots for Sensor and Machinery Applications'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Chemically modified metallic nanoparticles (NPs) or semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are central components for the future development of nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology. This program aims to introduce new dimensions into the field of nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology by synthesizing, characterizing and assembling molecule- or biomolecule-modified nanoparticles (NPs)/Quantum dots (QDs) hybrid nanostructures that perform tailored and programmable functionalities.  The project will include two complementary research activities.  One direction will include the generation of electropolymerized ligand-functionalized Au NPs matrices on electrode surfaces.  By tethering of appropriate ligands to the NPs, imprinted matrices for selective sensing, and signal-triggered NPs ""sponges"" for the selective uptake and release of substrates will be designed.  Also, electrochemically induced pH changes by the NPs matrices will be used to control chemical reactivity (e.g., sol-gel transitions, activation of the ATP synthase machinery).  The second research direction will implement ligand-modified QDs for the sensing of ions or molecular substrates.  Similarly, nucleic acid-functionalized QDs will be used to develop new versatile sensing platforms exhibiting multiplexed analysis capabilities.  One platform will include the quenching of the QDs by G-quadruplexes, whereas the second platform will use biochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) as readout signal.  Also, QDs-modified supramolecular DNA nanostructures will be designed to perform programmed machinery functions such as ""bi-pedal walker"", ""seesaw"", ""gear"" or ""tweezers"", and the machinery functions will be transduced by the optical properties of the QDs.  Finally, DNA-machines that trigger the isothermal

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Smart Networks and Services International and European Cooperation Ecosystem'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project will create a collaboration environment for European and global stakeholders involved in the preparation of 6G smart networks and services. It will be the instrument to present, leverage, and position the SNS JU activities and achievements in major European and global fora. The project will work at a global level with other regions, where 6G activities are planned and ongoing. This will create an environment to promote SNS JU results and achievements, exchange trends and ideas to achieve global consensus. Key standardization activities will be also monitored, and main roadmaps and trends will be communicated back to the SNS JU projects. The project will also establish dialogues at a European level between peer Horizon Europe Partnerships, national initiatives, research and development clusters, etc., targeting the exchange of information, plans and priorities. This will enable a better understanding of the European activities among the involved stakeholders and will potentially enable a better alignment of their plans.Additionally, SNS ICE will also be engaged in dialogues with key vertical industries through well-established associations, to identify their requirements and promote the SNS JU solutions to them. This exchange of ideas will create opportunities for tailor-cut 6G solutions and their early adoption by the verticals industries.All these activities are expected to contribute significantly to secure Europe’s leading role in the definition, provision, and exploitation of 6G solutions.SNS ICE is planning to organize dedicated workshops with the abovementioned groups of stakeholders at main international events, most notably Techritory and EuCNC. It will also provide several presentations at international and European conferences and events. The outco

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Climate-Conscious Conservation of Documentary Heritage: An Integrated Multiscale Modelling Approach' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Climate change threatens our documentary heritage, while current preservation methods can inadvertently worsen the problem over time. Energy-intensive climate control systems not only contribute to the climate crisis but also exclude less affluent institutions from equitable access to effective conservation efforts. Moreover, limited understanding of degradation-environment interactions prevents confident relaxation of stringent climate control measures.To address these challenges, I propose a revolutionary approach: developing a holistic understanding of paper-based documentary heritage’s interaction with its environment across all scales—from the molecular level to the repository. By integrating hygrothermal dynamics with material degradation kinetics through innovative multiscale modelling, I will significantly advance our understanding of the complexity in the degradation processes of documentary heritage, unlock its untapped environmental resilience, and revolutionise our ability to predict and prevent damage in conservation.This project will begin by developing a comprehensive model that quantifies material-micro-environment interactions for detailed paper degradation analysis. Simultaneously, innovative multiscale hygrothermal models will be established to capture heat and moisture transfer from individual volumes to entire repositories. Finally, these models will be integrated into an open-source online tool for dynamic, spatially-resolved environmental risk assessment and predictive preservation planning. Global case studies will be designed throughout the project to validate the models across diverse cultural and climatic contexts. This pioneering methodology will transform preventive conservation by enabling precise degradation predictions, empowering data-dr

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'DEMONSTRATION OF INNOVATIVE FIRE PROTECTION COATINGS FOR STEEL STRUCTURES' (STEELPROST).

assistant: **Innovation**

Current methods to provide fire protection of light steel structures lack performance and has resulted in a decrease in structural steel market share. State-of-the-art intumescent coatings (ICs) is not a robust technology due to extensive coating and drying times, and low fire resistance (FR) values. There have not been any innovative solutions to overcome such problems in the last few years, resulting in a progressive decline in the demand for steel structures.The FP7-SME-2008-2-STEELPROST Research Programme provided a solution to current surface treatment limitations by developing a second generation of fire-protective coatings. Now, it is necessary to industrially validate a final integrated system via STEELPROST Demonstration Project. It represents a significant step from R&D through to validation, certification and manufacturing a prototype. The Demo Project will focus on validation and certification of procedures to manufacture ICs, certification of the ICs, building a group of demonstrators for the use of ICs on real designs, obtaining CE Marking for the overall steelwork construction and developing spraying system prototype to reduce cost & ensure best quality.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Spatial organization of species distributions: hierarchical and scale-dependent patterns and processes in coastal seascapes'.

assistant: **Concept**

Hidden in intertidal sandflats of our estuaries live shellfish, worms, and crabs. We are interested in defining how the relationships between their abundance patterns and different biotic and environmental processes change from single points to across whole intertidal areas. We will determine the importance of environmental characteristics within and across spatial scales and assess their interaction with biological processes. This will be achieved by employing spatially explicit Generalised Estimating Equations within spatial scales, and multivariate spatial Bayesian models that include species interactions as well as environmental variability across spatial scales. Thereby we will be able to better understand the interplay between fine- and broad-scale patterns and processes that underpins potential resilience in these ecosystems and improve our forecast of habitat preferences under conditions of environmental change. To date, most broad-scale research on species distributions ignores spatial patterns, scale-dependent variability, and biotic interactions. This limits our statistical analyses and more importantly inferences about ecological processes we draw from them. We will will visit more than 1000 strategically positioned sampling stations in three of New Zealand’s major harbours. Predicting current and potential distributions of species is critical for evaluating management options and understanding the importance of ecological change, leading towards a better integrated management of coastal ecosystems. This is fundamentally important due to catastrophic global shifts in many marine ecosystems, following over-harvesting, pollution, and the direct and indirect impacts of climate change. This integrated and holistic approach can only be realised by pulling togethe

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on '“Thinking in Images. Herder’s Adrastea from 1801-03 up to nowadays”'.

assistant: **Concept**

The research project “Thinking in Images. Herder’s Adrastea from 1801-03 up to today” will focus on the notion of thinking in images, which has a non-marginal position in the history of philosophy and science. Thinking in images means to refer, at the same time, to a complex system of forms and meanings, which continually changes itself and never follows a time sequence or a causal order. This is what distinguishes this special form of thinking from the logical sequence, from the reasoning by concepts. Analogies, metaphors, myths are only few examples of the way this ‘visual representation’ works. Such a kind of thinking characterises the children’s thought, mnemonic processes, dreams, mental illnesses, hallucinations; but also, it is possible to find it in the poetry, in mythologies and religions, in mystical visions, as well as in scientific visualisations and in the arts. We will try in this study to clarify the concept of thinking in images and to highlight its value within society and culture. The starting point of the research is one of the most significant authors in the history of philosophy and culture, J.G. HERDER (1744-1803). The researcher’s aim will be to make an Italian translation and a critical edition of the Adrastea (1801-1803), the last and most neglected of HERDER’s works. The researcher will show the importance of this work as regards the author’s position about this topic, thinking in images and will prepare a monography. HERDER edited this magazine the last years of his life and conceived it as a kind of fragmentary encyclopaedia, touching many aspects of the cultural life of his time (from politics to religion, from philosophy to science, from literature and music to esotericism and mystics). From this starting point, researcher will be able to s

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Malta Researchers Mobility Centre' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The Ministry of Education and Research has given the mandate to the Fondazzjoni Temi Zammit (FTZ) for the establishment of a mobility centre at national level. In 2003 an exploratory exercise was done by the Malta Council for Science and Technology, a member of FTZ, to map existing entities, by analysing the tasks they carry out, the type of information and assistance they offer, and explore any current local issues related to mobility. Based on the insights attained from this exercise, this project will focus on improving research mobility by providing a quality service of value to researchers and host institutions through effective coordination of key local stakeholders. The Malta centre sets itself three objectives: to give researchers and their families, whether incoming or outgoing, assistance in all matters relating to their professional and daily lives; to create awareness of the European network of mobility centres and the European mobility portal; and to create a favourable environment for the mobility of researchers in line with the Work Programme of the FP6 Specific Programme Structuring the European Research Area", Human resources and Mobility. This project lasts 36 months and will be a start-up and consolidation exercise for a mobility centre in Malta. The mobility centre will be financed and managed by the Fondazzjoni Temi Zammit, with the support of the Ministry of Education. To effectively achieve the objectives set out by the proposal, the work plan will be divided into four work packages, namely Management, Information, Promotion, and Training with 12 deliverables aimed to establish the long-tem set-up and objectives of the Malta National mobility centre."

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Aeronautical application of wrought magnesium' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Magnesium with a density of only 65% of aluminium, could be a break through technology in the aerospace industry if used for cost efficient, low weight components and airframe structures. However, to use this low weight material the mechanical and technological properties have to be improved. The technical focus of the university driven proposal, AEROMAG which has been prepared in close collaboration to the Network of Universities EASN" is the development of new Magnesium wrought products (sheets and extrusions), that provide significantly improved static and fatigue strength properties. The strength properties of these innovative materials are required to be as high as AA5083 for non-structural applications and as high as AA2024 aluminium alloys for secondary structure applications. At first new alloys will be developed and existing alloys will be tested. Appropriate manufacturing (rolling, extrusion), forming and joining technologies require development, simulation and validation for the innovative material and application. Corrosion is a problem to be solved with newly adapted and environmentally friendly surface protection systems and advanced design concepts. Flammability will be addressed with addition of chemical elements and special surface treatments. A further essential task is the development of material models and failure criteria for the prediction of forming processes, plastic deformation and failure behaviour of components. Finally material adapted design and the evaluation of structural behaviour will be investigated to close the process and development chain for aeronautic components. The technological objective is a weight reduction of fuselage parts, systems and interior components up to 35%. The strategic objectives are an increase in the operational
