user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'De novo construction and evolvability of Minimal Lifelike Systems'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The de novo creation of living systems is a long-standing dream of humanity. To realise this dream, we need a clear conceptualisation of the goal and the experimental means to put it to practice. We think now, time is ripe to make a serious attempt. There is emerging consensus that a minimal living system should be out-of-equilibrium and self-sustaining, have metabolism, an inheritance system, a boundary to keep the constituents together and that a population of such systems should be able to undergo Darwinian evolution. The aim of this proposal is to develop, for the first time, synthetic chemical systems with all of these features.Due to its very nature MiniLife is standing on two, equally strong feet: chemistry and biology. The strongest link between them is autocatalysis, which allows reproduction. Our approach to creating the first artificial chemical living system takes the following steps: (1) Identification of new, and development of existing, autocatalytic (super)systems that function as chemical (and informational) replicators. (2) Coupling of metabolism with chemical replicators. (3) Coupling of autocatalysis to compartment growth and division. (4) Synthesis of a chemical supersystem comprising all three components (replication, metabolism and compartmentalisation). (5) Demonstrating minimal Darwinian evolution upon subjecting the systems synthesized in 1-3 to out-of-equilibrium selection regimes. (6) Approaching a minimal living system by enhancing of the evolvability of the triple systems developed in 4.We have assembled a strong consortium that brings together PIs of previous ERC Advanced Grants in three key areas to be integrated: Ashkenasy and Otto bring expertise in synthetic chemical self-replicating systems; Griffiths brings expertise on compartmental

user: Describe how 'Microfluidic Chip' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Microfluidic devices can integrate laboratory functions such as biomedical analysis on a single chip. They produce a huge market for the upcoming decades, as they seem to compete, rewardingly, benchtop instruments. Microfluidic devices became innovative as an increasing number of applications use microfluidic reactors for cultivating cells. Microfluidic devices might work with segmented flows where cells might be cultivated within miniaturized droplets, called droplet-bioreactors. MicroFluChip project targets the fabrication of a microfluidic chip capable of measuring electrically blood cells within droplet-bioreactors. For assessing the passive properties of the cells we intend to employ bioimpedance spectroscopy, which is a well-established method in biomedicine for measuring dielectric response of cells. Digital pulses with predefined spectral properties will be employed in this work. Integrated front-end electronics will condition the signals for performing online analysis with an analyzer or a signal processor. A network of microchannels, junctions and microelectrodes will direct the droplet-bioreactors, serially, into outlets for separation. Immiscible oil will be used as separation medium in order to prevent the droplets from merging and also to isolate their content from contamination. No surfactants are required for stabilizing the droplets. The microfluidic chip will be capable of measuring up to ten droplets per second serially, which enables high throughput processing for this class of devices. Our design allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through the chip walls, which is essential for the metabolism of the cells. MicroFluChip is a highly multidisciplinary project and combines microfluidics, electronics and material technology. MicroFluChip project

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Statistical Tools for studying genetic architecture' (STSGA).

assistant: **Innovation**

Molecular biology has shown that most phenotypes are affected by complex, interacting gene networks. Yet, evolutionary biologists and population geneticists often assume very simple genetic architectures where genes act more of less independently of each other. These assumptions are made for conceptual clarity and are partially justified through statistical definitions of gene effects that capture the main effects of alleles as averages over many complex interactions. Still, recent research has revealed many systematic patterns of epistasis and pleiotropy with population genetic effects that should not be ignored. This makes a detailed understanding of genetic architecture important for many questions in evolutionary biology, including the basis of evolvability, and also instrumental for many questions in animal and crop improvement, including our ability to predict selection limits and to avoid unwanted side effects of artificial selection.   The philosophy of this project is to develop methods that yield operational measurements of dynamically relevant parameters. A serious problem is the study of genetic architecture has been that many of the parameters in use are not derived from process models, epistatic variance components being the most obvious example. For this reason, it is necessary to combine the statistical models with process models to ensure a general understanding of the meaning of estimators.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Quantitative electron and spin transport theory for organic crystals based devices' (QUEST) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Predicting the electron and spin transport properties of organic crystals is a formidable theoretical challenge as these are determined both by the electronic structure of the individual molecules and by the morphology of the crystal. Quest's research program seeks at developing a fully quantitative theory for electron and spin transport in organic crystals, which does not rely on external parameters and can be applied to materials underpinning a multitude of applications, ranging from organic electronics, to spintronics, to energy. In particular we aim at combining state of the art density functional theory with advanced quantum transport methods and Monte Carlo simulations. We will then construct a hierarchical computational protocol enabling us to evaluate electron and spin transport across different length scales at finite temperature, including effects originating from external fields (electric and magnetic). Our developed tools will form a software package to be distributed freely to academia.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'aPad - smaller, lighter, smarter autonomous marine surface vehicle' (2014-2020) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project proposes transformation of Autonomous Unmanned Marine Surface vehicle 'aPad', the specific research result of the ongoing FET project no. 640967 ""subCULTron"", into commercially attractive, sustainable and innovative product that both address societal challenges and is highly competitive in global markets. Our initial market research, end-users inquiries and even first acquisition suggest high market potential of the aPad. Furthermore, Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles are at the top of Emerging Technologies reports. Associating these with the fact that 70% of our planet is covered by the sea give us solid motivation for this proposal.Current stage of aPad development, according to EC Technology Readiness Level scale, is 6 (prototype demonstration in a relevant environment). The project foresees three main groups of activities. The first is development of a business plan to support future commercialization process, including strong brand development based on market analysis and development of strategies for three main pillars of innovation business: market, intellectual property and finances. The second is oriented towards linking and interacting with the identified potential customers, societal end-users and investors to collect their feedback, assess technological impact on the society, develop case studies and detect potential future partners. The third one is preparation for the actual spin-off oriented towards establishment of the manufacturing processes and building of spin-off organizational structure.UNIZG-FER Croatia positioned itself as the regional leader in robotics, coordinating and participating in number of research and industry projects.

user: Describe how 'Reservoir-Oriented Delineation Tech nology' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Objectives The oil & gas industry is requesting information about commercially marginal reservoirs which at present is not obtainable using standard geophysical approaches. Advanced and accurate techniques have to be available in a fast and efficient way and the turnaround time for applying the methods must be reduced. The main objective of the project is to establish a prototype of a reservoir-oriented delineation technology fulfilling these requirements. The technology is bounded, in the sense that it is confined by 3D seismic data observed on the surface or in boreholes, and 3D elastic models are derived which are the products of applying the technology to the observations. The technology itself consists of: - The technology frame (skeleton), and - Sub-technologies acting within the frame. The development of the two parts constitutes the project's secondary objectives. Technical Approach The frame is constructed on the basis of a general description of the geophysical technology specifying that its product, i.e. the model, is optimum when the derived and processed forward responses are comparable to the observations processed in similar way. Hence the frame and its implementation will be able to represent the model, the forward response function, the responses and observations. The frame will also include the model justification, coupling the observation and modelling domains. The two first sub-technologies to be accessible are the 3D elastic model building part and technologies dealing with the processing of the observations and forward responses. The model builder utilizes a sophisticated cell-oriented approach to describe the subsurface and is capable of retaining consistency by adjusting minor structural features. To perform the processing in both domains the fra

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Subdifferentials and applications to generalized convexity' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Research objectives and content In this project we will apply recently discovered techniques and results of the rapidly developing Subdifferential Theory to the study of the various classes of generalized convex functions. These classes, apart from their independent interest, usually meet a large field of applications in Microeconomics. In a very recent research work we have discovered an intrinsic property (i.e. cyclicity) of the subdifferentials of the generalized convex functions. This very promising tool will be used in order to establish duality schemes between the classes of generalized convex functions and corresponding classes of generalized monotone operators. In the same line of research we wish to clarify the exact relation between pseudoconvex and semistrictly quasiconvex functions, since both classes have important properties in Optimization theory. Asplund spaces, which enjoy an elegant dual geometric characterization, often provide the minimal framework of an adequate subdifferential theory. Our next objective will be to extend and clarify the exact geometric impact of the classes of Banach spaces in which a sufficient subdifferential theory exists for a given subdifferential. To this end, recent advances on the so-called reliable Banach spaces will be of use. Next, we shall study certain applications of the subdifferential theory in optimization problems with non-polyhedral constraints by refining the notion of coderivative and developing the relevant calculus. In the same spirit we will study properties of the second order subderivatives in connection to stability problems in Sensitivity Analysis.

assistant: **Innovation**

The WATERAGRI vision is to solve agricultural water management and soil fertilisation challenges in a sustainable manner to secure affordable food production in Europe for the 21st century. The WATERAGRI concept aims to introduce a new framework for the use of affordable small water retention approaches for managing excess and shortage of water as well as better recovery of nutrients from agricultural catchments applying a multi-actor approach. The objectives are to(a) Co-develop (multi-actor approach) the links between agricultural land and soil-sediment-water management for improved management of water excess and shortage, maximizing crop production and improving water quality and nutrient uptake by crops;(b) Undertake both technical and sustainability assessments of proposed measures considering tested and reviewed management options;(c) Develop a cloud-based simulation and data assimilation system based on a physically-based terrestrial system model, which is able to assimilate in situ and remotely sensed observations of hydrological and plant variables and meteorological data in near-real time to analyse effects of structures such as drains and dams for improved farm-scale water management and retention;(d) Identify, develop and test affordable and easy-to-implement long-term technical and operational farm solutions such as controlled drainage, regulated deficit irrigation, subsurface irrigation, groundwater recharge, farm constructed wetlands, soil management and nutrient recovery options;(e) Assess the techniques for their potential regarding adaptation to climate change and their impact on ecosystem services for different biogeographic regions using case studies; and(f) Disseminate the implemented innovations to farmers, advisory services and decision-makers as

user: Describe how 'Enhanced Design of High Pressure Gear Pumps Using Environmentaly Acceptable Hydraulic Fluids' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

BE-95-1046 Enhanced Design of High Pressure Gear Pumps Using Environmentaly Acceptable Hydraulic Fluids.The main objective of this project is to improve the design and manufacturing process of high pressure external gear pumps in order to: a) make the pump compatible with environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids (ecological oils), b) extend the service life of the pump for different operational levels, c) reduce noise effects. These objectives will be achieved by developing and validating new experimental procedures and computational models to asses the performance of gear pumps, ie. - Computation of operating parameters and geometrical configurations of engaging teeth.  - Design of the optimum tooth form and manufacturing of a prototype pump.  - Selection of adequate ecological oils.  - Modelling the three dimensional flow of oil through the pump gears.  - Estimation of pump's sensitivity to ecological oils contaminated oils. - Evaluation of the hydrodynamic noise level for different operational stages - Estimating the pump's performance and life for different field conditions and oil types. The outputs provided by the experimental and computational models developed will be the basis for defining ad hoc" design guidelines to enhance the overall pump performance using ecological oils and minimize the noise level. It is expected that the new design methodology will reduce the time invested in prototype manufacturing of gear pumps by a factor of six, and that of experimental testing by a factor of two. The overall design cycle could be reduced in a 40%. A 10% reduction in energy consumption due to enhanced design is also expected. Moreover, 15% increase in world market share is envisaged due to enhanced low noise performance, versus vane and pistons Pumps widely used n

user: Explain how 'Advanced steel spray manufacture of high performance tooling' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The industrial objective of the proposed RTD is to provide SME's with an alternative manufacturing route for the production of Steel Faced Tooling for the Metal Press Forming, Pressure Die-Casting and Plastics Moulding processing sectors. The proposed toolmaking technology to be developed is expected to result in an estimated reduction in manufacturing costs of between 40 and 80 percent and an estimated reduction in manufacturing time of between 50 and 80 percent (dependant on tool size and surface geometry) as compared to traditional tool machining techniques. The first two process sectors stated have received little benefit thus far from developments in Rapid Prototyping (RP)/Tooling due mainly to the inability of tooling produced via Rapid routes to operate in these aggressive process environments. Tooling development for both process sectors forms a major part of the proposed RTD. To date it has not been possible to use high temperature/integrity steel spraying processes to deposit steel surfaces onto pattern parts produced via conventional Rapid Prototyping technologies due to the inability of such parts to withstand the process conditions involved. The proposed RTD aims to develop and demonstrate new innovative material and process technology involving the production of tool surface pattems, mainly from soluble ceramic/glass materials, capable of withstanding the process conditions associated with high temperature/integrity steel spray deposition. It will therefore be possible to effectively build up a substantial steel tooling shell which can subsequently be de-moulded from the pattern part and suitably reinforced to provide tooling forms for the stated process sectors. An integrated process will be developed and demonstrated starting from 3D CAD component data c
