user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The evolution of food hoarding: from environmental pressures to brain mechanisms' (HOARDEVOL) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Dr Lindsay Henderson will move from the University of California Davis, US to Newcastle University in the UK to undertake a project investigating the physiological and neural mechanisms that regulate avian hoarding behaviour and how the social environment influences them. Some species have evolved to store rather than consume food while availability is high, for consumption when food is scarce. This behaviour is called food hoarding and is evident in a range of taxa. Little is known about the mechanisms that underpin the motivation to hoard food. Research shows that energetically demanding conditions are linked to an increase in food hoarding. In addition, there is evidence in social species, that social rank influences hoarding behaviour. Key physiological and neurological mechanisms have also been shown to underpin an animal’s motivation to hoard food, including the stress hormone corticosterone (cort) and consumption regulating neuropeptides, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP). However, whether variation in cort, NPY and AgRP, or an interaction between them regulates hoarding behaviour is yet to be examined. In this project I will experimentally address these knowledge gaps using two closely related bird species that live in social groups during winter when hoarding motivation is high; the food hoarding coal tit (Periparus ater), and the non-hoarding great tit (Parus major). I will use wild-caught captive birds to; i) investigate the influence of the social environment upon hoarding and food consumption under contrasting energy budgets, ii) examine the role of cort as a mediator of hoarding motivation, iii) identify the hypothalamic regions activated during high hoarding motivation between hoarding and non-hoarding species, and iv) examine whether

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Proactive Autonomic Management of Cloud Resources' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The main objective of the project PANACEA" is to provide Proactive Autonomic Management of Cloud Resources as a remedy to the exponentially growing complexity.If you look at the system resources (Internet) at the bottom of the stack, that system resource can be servers, storage, data centres, and network resources, the concept is then to build a level of virtualization of those resources so that any given event is not tied to one box necessarily or to one storage disk. Once you get that kind of leverage, you can build the set of functions that relate to autonomic self-* properties: configuring, healing, optimizing and protecting. The design that you have to have holistically has to deal with the fact that components are going to fail. The aim of a Cloud Computing platform is to support redundant, self-recovering, highly scalable programming models that allow workloads to recover from many inevitable hardware/software failures and monitoring resource use in real time for providing physical and virtual servers, on which the applications can run.It will propose innovative solutions for autonomic management of cloud resources, which will be based on a set of advanced Machine Learning Techniques and virtualization. A Machine Learning (ML) framework will be created for a proactive autonomic management of cloud resources. It will allow predicting the failure time of software, or user applications running on Virtual Machines (VM) and the violation of expected response time of services.To deal with the vast number of possible resources to monitor, our main approach will consider the use of mobile agents, which will move on the cloud, interacting with other agents, reading computing and network sensors, and making autonomous decisions on what to measure, when to report and to who

user: Describe how 'Josephson-like effect with vortices and applications' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective is the fabrication and characterisation of devices designed to exhibit a new effect, which could widen the domain of applications of Josephson junctions in superconducting electronics (e.g. spectrometry): A Josephson" behaviour is predicted in devices involving an array of Abrikosov vortices in a superconducting thin film and a periodic potential. "DC Josephson-like" (resp. "AC Josephson-like") effect corresponds to a constant position (resp. a drift) of the array in the potential. The DC effect has been observed by Giaever in a structure called DC Transformer (DCTr). Shapiro steps created by incident RF signal are predicted, appearing at voltages proportional to signal frequency (of the order of 1 mV/GHz). This ratio can be set by design, and tuned by a magnetic field, in contrast with the classical Josephson effect. In the DCTr, the periodic potential is obtained by magnetic coupling with an other array of vortices in a second superconducting thin film, but there is no restriction on the origin of this potential.Low TC multilayer structure and HTc homoepitaxial structures are evaluated in the first phase of the project, while HTc multilayer structures will be performed in the second phase."

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Network for the improvement of concrete construction' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

This submission outlines a proposal to bring together in a Network for the Improvement of Concrete Construction researchers from industry and universities/research houses to cooperate on industrially relevant research they are carrying out separately on the building material concrete. By doing so it is expected to improve the efficiency of the resources involved and to improve the awareness of and the use of concrete as a quality building material. The research field is immense and yet there are broad bands of overlap where basic concepts are involved. Whilst a concrete is tailored to its end use each of its properties is a variable and can be researched in depth. This means that there is an enormous potential for sharing of information and know-how. The aim is to establish a broad network and it will be an essential part of the exploratory phase to critically examine and evaluate the scope and subject matter of the proposed network so that the implementation phase will provide a network which will take account of the needs of, and provide a service to the concrete construction industry.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Autonomous Living Cell analYsis ON-chip for Evaluation of space Environment Effects: low-power integrated lab-on-chip for the assessment of radiation damage on living systems in nanosatellite missions', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The project aims at the design and realization of a new analytical platform implementing a series of innovative technologies able to provide a highly-integrated solution for the analysis in-situ of the effects of the space environment on model biological systems and for the evaluation of shielding technologies combined with radioprotective agents. The main objective of the project will be achieved through the development of a lab-on-chip device with integrated thin-film sensors and actuators that will implement an extremely compact cell-incubator capable to sample the status of the cell culture during a space mission using real-time monitoring techniques based on bioluminescence. Genetically modified microorganisms will be designed in order to monitor specific stress responses based on a luciferase-based reporter system. An electronic system will be integrated in the platform for the characterization of the radiation environment allowing  to evaluate the correlation between observed biological effects and radiation exposure.The main features of the proposed technology include low power consumption, extreme compactness, high data efficiency and full automation making it suitable for cubesat missions. In particular, a complete cubesat payload will be designed to address and solve any integration issue and to provide a test bench for a preliminary set of experiments to be carried out on ground facilities simulating the deep space environment. The proposed system will therefore represent a key element to pave the route toward deep space human mission as it offers the possibility to test the effects of long term exposure to the space environment on model biological systems using simple platforms as cubesats. This opens new scenarios where minor effortwill be required to plan

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Innovative, automatic, fast and cost-effective nanovesicles manufacturing equipment' (NANOGO).

assistant: **Concept**

The global nanovesicles market size was valued at $1.18 billion in 2016 and is expected to witness an attractive CAGR of 7.2% until 2021.However, the current procedures for producing nanovesicles exhibit the following drawbacks: i) Do not allow for small volume (require at least 10 ml production), ii) Have low reproducibility, iii) Require various sub-processes and many man hours, leading to variable results based on who has carried out the procedure; iv) Are expensive (it is often necessary to create a small number of nanovesicles given that the compounds that they encapsulate are extremely expensive); and v) Are non-scalable (not only have problems with scaling up to large quantities, but also with producing small quantities).We at Nanovex Biotechnologies, increasingly disappointed with the current technologies for producing nanovesicles, have designed and prototyped NanoGo, a piece of microfluidics equipment that produces nanovesicles faster, better and at lower cost, for industrial applications.NanoGo is capable of producing small volumes (0.5 ml) to large volumes (4 liters/day) of nanovesicles. In addition, NanoGo has many other advantages: i) High reproducibility: The automation of the process allows you to obtain nanovesicles with reproducible characteristics (size, encapsulation efficiency, distribution). The result is the same regardless of who uses it and how many times you repeat the procedure; ii) Rapid process: Requires just 20 minutes to produce 50 ml of nanovesicles; iii) Ease of use: Anyone can do so with no knowledge of formulation; iv) Low cost. Requires a low volume of samples per experiment; v) Very easy to scale up. It is quite simple to increase the scale (1 to 100 chips -for instance- working in parallel).

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Modelling the carbon/energy tax and the nairu' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

In certain circles environmental regulation is often considered a drag on economic growth and in general on macroeconomic performances. Recently, however, it has been suggested that governments should use an increase in pollution taxes to reduce payroll taxes. By doing so they could achieve a double dividend: improving environmental quality and expanding employment. In a recent White Paper (December,1993) the EC has promoted the idea that the carbon/energy tax can be repackaged specifically as an employment measure. The object of my research is to analyze the long-run impact on the NAIRU (Non Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment) of environmental tax reforms. The research will be divided in three parts: theoretical modelling of labour market and taxation, empirical modelling using new econometric techniques such as cointegration, related tests and Johansen procedure, and finally simulations for Italy of the EC carbon/energy tax under different assumption regarding revenue recycling (lump sum restitution, labour tax rebate, income and VAT rebates)

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Assessment of the vulnerabilities of modern societies to terrorist acts employing radiological, biological or chemical agents with the view to assist in developing preventive and suppressive crisis' (ASSRBCVUL).

assistant: **Innovation**

The project intends to assess the vulnerabilities of the EU to the intended release of radiological, biological and / or chemical (RBC) agents as an act of terrorists. The assessment will be used as an instrument to develop preventive and suppressive crisis management strategies. First, a threat analysis, how do RBC agents suit the purpose of terrorists, will be performed. Next, concept of society as an integrated network of societal, political, economic substructures will be made. This concept will be used to identify spots vulnerable to the release of RBC-agents and to assess the direct and cascading effects on people and infrastructures. Finally, we analyse how the impact of the release of RBC-agents can be mitigated by taken the appropriate preventive and suppressive policy measures. As part of this step an inventory of policy measures already taken will be made and new policy measures will be recommended.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Foundations of XML - Safe Processing of Dynamic Data over the Internet' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The web has brought fundamentally new challenges to datamanagement. The key features that distinguish web data fromtraditional database applications are its structure - usuallydescribed by mark-up languages, such as XML - and its dynamicnature. The FOX research programme will study these challenges indetail and investigate ways to master them. To this end, FOX aims at aparadigm shift in the modelling of internet data. It will providefoundations of dynamic and data-oriented features of the Web, and comeup with new efficient algorithms for organising, transforming, andquerying Web content. Some of the prospective insights are expected tohave a significant impact on the next generation of XML and Webstandards.<br/>To achieve these general goals, FOX will work on a number of specifictasks. It will identify and investigate the infrastructure needed fordocument, schema, and constraint management for XML data with specialemphasis on the handling of data and its constraints. Furthermore, thecorresponding reasoning tasks will be studied. It will develop newtechniques and algorithms for schema mapping, Web data exchange andfor improving query evaluation by making use of schemainformation. These investigations will take into account thatdocuments and schemas change over time and are distributed acrossmultiple sites. A special focus will be on automated decision-makingand on safety aspects, including verification of data-driven webservices and run-time analysis. New techniques and algorithms forhandling missing data and metadata in XML documents will be developedbased on uncertainty management, on the one hand, and automaticrecovery, on the other hand. Finally, FOX will develop a softwarelibrary with prototypical implementations.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'CAD WALK: Enabling Computer Aided Diagnosis of Foot Pathologies through the use of Metric Learning' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

Dynamic plantar pressure imaging (PPI) refers to the measuring, across time, of pressure fields between the foot and the ground. PPI is used, in part, to diagnose foot problems such as metatarsalgia and plantar fasciitis. Despite the widespread clinical use of PPI, its diagnostic potential has not been fully exploited. PPI creates large and dynamic datasets that cannot be easily analysed and interpreted by the human brain. As a result, PPI images are subsampled before being clinically examined, which discards potentially valuable information.The objective for this action is to improve the diagnostic value of PPI through the introduction of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system called CAD WALK. Using concepts from my previous CAD research (STEAM), CAD WALK will build a statistical model of PPI images from a healthy population. To test a new patient, their PPI image will be aligned to the model and compared to that healthy population using statistical tests. Outliers from these statistical tests will then be highlighted to help guide a clinician’s examination of the full PPI image. As a novel addition, metric learning will be introduced to create a statistical model that is more specific to the test subject.A key goal of this action is the deployment of CAD WALK as a supported software product. To do so, we propose a Triple ‘i’ (international, intersectoral, interdisciplinary) initiative that partners me with industry (rs scan®) and clinical end users (Sint Maartenskliniek, NL) to translate my CAD research into practical use. Through this process, and a secondment with industry partner rs scan®, I expect to deepen my knowledge of industrial product development (i.e. intellectual property rights, industry regulations, customer constraints) and improve my management skill

user: Describe how 'Effective Communication in Outbreak Management: development of an evidence-based tool for Europe' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Although scientific knowledge to respond to outbreaks has increased, deficiencies remain in the ability of health authorities to communicate the need for large-scale measures such as vaccination and antiviral therapy and increase its acceptance. For effective behavioural and communication strategies, integration is needed of social, behavioural, communication and media sciences.We bring together these disciplines to go beyond the current knowledge to develop an evidence-based behavioural and communication package for health professionals and agencies throughout Europe in case of major outbreaks. This overall aim is reached through a number of specific objectives:1) to asses the time-dependent influences of epidemiology and risk communication including media content on human behaviour during the A/H1N1 pandemic;2) to analyse, using Social Marketing principles, vaccination behaviour, audience segmentation, and vaccination service delivery;3) to analyse knowledge, attitudes, risk perception, vaccination non-response and reasons for resistance during past epidemics;4) to apply Discrete Choice Experiments to determine acceptance of preventive measures in the case of epidemic outbreaks;5) to integrate the key findings of the studies under objectives 1-3 to determine critical factors, groups and media to be addressed in the development of effective strategies;6) to test behavioural interventions and communication strategies tailored to different target audiences; and7) to finalize and disseminate a package of evidence-based tools that can be tailored to individual European countries.Our project addresses all topics in the FP7 call text. The first phase has a research emphasis, whereas in the second phase newly developed behavioural intervention and communication strategies are
