user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Improvements in quality control and performance of retreaded tyres' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aims of the proposed research are better assessment of tyre casing integrity, the development of water-based tyre cements to replace solvent-based ones and the better prediction of the wear resistance of retreaded tyres At present instruments available for casing integrity inspection are expensive and are limited in use; water-based tyre cements are needed for a healthier factory environment; and there is no satisfactory abrasion tester that predicts actual tread wear resistance in service. There is a need for improved understanding and new quality control test methods. The principal research tasks are: (i) development of new test methods for assessing tyre casing integrity, both before and after retreading. (ii) adoption of water-based tyre cements. (iii) development of laboratory/factory abrasion testers for the prediction of tread wear. A successful outcome should benefit manufacturers of retreaded tyres and other industrial sectors concerned with transport safety recycling and the environment. Cost savings of 10% may be possible in a European market approaching retread sales of I bECU per annum, with further savings accruing to other related sectors.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Rainbow partitions and oriented structures in random graphs' (PARTIORI).

assistant: **Concept**

Combinatorial designs are some of the most fascinating and elusive objects in mathematics. For over 200 years their study has generated many sophisticated methods, and the theory has found applications in biological experiment design, construction of strong error correcting codes, and network fault detection. The celebrated proof of the existence of designs has been an impressive achievement of the last decade. At the core of this landmark result lies a combination of powerful contemporary tools: the semi-random and absorption methods. The PARTIORI project seeks to utilise and extend these ideas to demonstrate the existence of certain transversal partitions and large oriented structures of, respectively, coloured an oriented random graphs.At the intersection of combinatorial design theory, Ramsey theory, and probabilistic combinatorics, PARTIORI lies at the edge of active sub-areas, exploring rainbow decompositions of edge-coloured random graphs and thresholds for the emergence of an Ramsey property of graph orientations. More precisely, the project aims at leveraging powerful methods from extremal and probabilistic combinatorics (the semi-random, absorption, regularity and container methods) to make significant contributions to the following two areas:- obtaining decompositions of edge-coloured complete graphs into few rainbow paths;- establishing universality results for the containment of oriented structures in arbitrary orientations of random graphs.The research is planned for two years and takes as a basis prior results obtained by the applicant while also taking advantage of approaches developed by the host. A secondment at the University of Warwick (U.K.) is also planned, hosted by Prof. Richard Montgomery, a leading figure in mathematics and expert in both topic

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Applying ACOustic streaming to enhance mass transfer in Liquid Chromatography of large molecules' (ACO-LC) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Liquid chromatography (LC) is a prominent analytical technique serving life-sciences, chemical and pharmaceutical sciences, which plays a key role in virtually all research and development concerned with liquid phase (bio)chemistry. The performance of pressure-driven LC has continuously increased during the past century, with improvements realized by ordering the packing and reducing the particle size. Now that the point is reached where sub-micron ordered packings can be reliably produced, the performance limitation of LC lies in the principle itself, more precisely in the slow mass transport of analytes between the field lines with varying cross-sectional Poiseuille velocity vectors. Distribution of analytes in the sample bands over different local velocities results in Taylor-Aris dispersion, an effect that becomes increasingly important at high velocities, or at low diffusion coefficients. ACO-LC addresses this lateral diffusion limitation by inducing acoustically generated lateral flows obtained in resonance mode. The resulting vortices in this so-called acoustic streaming regime carry the analytes much faster than purely diffusive processes, therewith reducing the dispersion dependency on size and mobile phase velocity. While the efficacy of this acoustic vortex LC methodology has been recently shown in microfluidic channels in the host group, the channel dimensions need to be scaled to the micron-scale range, with the resonance condition maintained. In ACO-LC, innovative geometrical approaches will be pursued to overcome frequency limitations of commercial piezoceramic actuators. Improved separations of glycosylated hemoglobin variants are aimed for in glass substrates, which are compatible with integrated UV-VIS absorption. This improved separation application i

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Nonparametric and Semiparametric Methods in Economics and Finance' (NAMSEF) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

This proposal is about developing nonparametric methodology for applications in economics and finance. It is broadly in two parts. The first part is related to my work on separable nonparametric models, which is at the frontier of econometric methodology. I am working on a number of projects that extend the applicability of these methods to problems of current interest. The second part is related to my work on testing stochastic dominance, which is a topic of considerable current interest and considerable scope of application. This work involves several extensions of existing methodology and its application to new problems. Both sets of projects involve theoretical work in terms of defining estimators and test statistics and analyzing their properties. They also involve application of the methodology to simulated and real data. This involves developing efficient computer programmes and running them on state of the art machines. Because the procedures we develop are complicated functions of the data they are very time consuming to implement, especially time consuming to implement well.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Advanced study course on innovative technologies & materials for the conservation of cultural heritage""'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The scientific research concerning the Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, although it develops rapidly during the last decades, it usually stays at the vicinity of the laboratories working on it. This happens due to the intrinsic nature of the subject, which depends on the in situ" testing and the difficulty to communicate the experience, which is an essential characteristic for a good conservation researcher.The basic target of this proposal is thus to educate 30 postgraduate students of different backgrounds on the recent advances on the conservation and restoration of monuments. The 15 days course proposed in here will be accompanied by a CD- ROM containing the lectures of the course, in order to disseminate this information to all researchers of relevant fields. Based in the evaluation of this course and the CD-ROM, a conference on "How to teach conservation" will be also held."

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Wave Energy Transition to Future by Evolution of Engineering and Technology' (WETFEET) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The recent experience with ocean wave energy have revealed issues with reliability of technical components, survivability, high development costs and risks, long time to market, as well as industrial scalability of proposed and tested technologies. However the potential of wave energy is vast, and also positive conclusions have been drawn, in particular that wave energy is generally technically feasible. Having substantial insight into successes and drawbacks in past developments and existing concepts, the promoters have identified ‘breakthrough features’ that address the above mentioned obstacles, i.e. components, systems and processes, as well as the respective IP. These breakthroughs are applied to two wave concepts, the OWC and the Symphony, under development by members of the consortium. The following main avenues have been identified: 1. Survivability breakthrough via device submergence under storm conditions; 2. O&M (operation and maintenance) breakthrough via continuous submergence and adaption of components and strategies; 3. PTO breakthrough via dielectric membrane alternatives to the “classical” electro-mechanical power take-off equipment; 4. Array breakthrough via sharing of mooring and electrical connections between nearby devices, as well as integral approach to device interaction and compact aggregates;WETFEET addressees Low-carbon Energies specific challenges by targeting a set of breakthroughs for wave energy technology, an infant clean energy technology with vast potential. The breakthrough features of WETFEET are developed and tested on the platform of two specific converter types (OWC and Symphony) with near-term commercial interest, and a large part of the results can make a general contribution to the sector, being implemented in other technologies

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Beyond the Genome; training the next generation of ophthalmic researchers' (EYETN).

assistant: **Innovation**

Eye research has often blazed a trail for other disciplines to follow, giving a lead in neuroscience, genetics, the development of gene- and stem-cell therapies and other important areas of medical research. In recent years, geneticists have made many remarkable discoveries of relevance both to normal human vision and the development of inherited retinal pathology. However the genes and mutations identified account for only a proportion of cases of inherited retinal degeneration, and recent discoveries hint at new classes of mutations which are either largely undetected or the significance of which is missed by conventional genetics. In addition, for those genes implicated there often remains a black box between mutations and disease; how do defects in a given protein manifest symptoms in the eye and what underlies the huge variation in symptoms, severity and response to treatment? The objectives of EyeTN are twofold; to address these knowledge gaps through cutting edge research using novel techniques, including transcriptomics analyses, whole genome and single target RNAi, the development of animal and cell-based disease models, stem cell biology, bioinformatics and hands on experience of pharmaceutical research with direct translational targets; and to give the next generation of European ophthalmic researchers unparalleled opportunities to train with a consortium of the best inherited blindness research labs in the world. The Network spans academic, healthcare and commercial research sectors and is already well established with many existing collaborations. All fellows will carry out one or more components of their research and training in a commercial environment and attend a workshop on translating ideas and discoveries into commercially viable Bioscience produces

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Identifying genes and pathways that drive molecular switches and back-up mechanisms between apoptosis and autophagy'.

assistant: **Objectives**

A cell’s decision to die is governed by multiple input signals received from a complex network of programmed cell death (PCD) pathways, including apoptosis and programmed necrosis. Additionally, under some conditions, autophagy, whose function is mainly pro-survival, may act as a back-up death pathway. We propose to apply new approaches to study the molecular basis of two important questions that await resolution in the field: a) how the cell switches from a pro-survival autophagic response to an apoptotic response and b) whether and how pro-survival autophagy is converted to a death mechanism when apoptosis is blocked. To address the first issue, we will screen for direct physical interactions between autophagic and apoptotic proteins, using the protein fragment complementation assay. Validated pairs will be studied in depth to identify built-in molecular switches that activate apoptosis when autophagy fails to restore homeostasis. As a pilot case to address the concept of molecular ‘sensors’ and ‘switches’, we will focus on the previously identified Atg12/Bcl-2 interaction. In the second line of research we will categorize autophagy-dependent cell death triggers into those that directly result from autophagy-dependent degradation, either by excessive self-digestion or by selective protein degradation, and those that utilize the autophagy machinery to activate programmed necrosis. We will identify the genes regulating these scenarios by whole genome RNAi screens for increased cell survival. In parallel, we will use a cell library of annotated fluorescent-tagged proteins for measuring selective protein degradation. These will be the starting point for identification of the molecular pathways that convert survival autophagy to a death program. Finally, we will explore th

user: Describe how 'Animal WelfAre Research in an enlarged Europe' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The goal of AWARE is to promote integration and increase the impact of European research on farm animal welfare (FAW). It will do so through the development of Europe-wide networks of scientists, lecturers and students, and by establishing a network of stakeholders active in FAW knowledge transfer and implementation. AWARE actions will be organised in 3 mutually supportive Work Packages (WPs). WP A “Research” will enhance the integration of FAW research by fostering collaboration based on mutual recognition and by enhancing networking and proposal writing skills in motivated researchers throughout the enlarged Europe. WP B “Education” will promote cross-fertilisation in FAW university education, thus enhancing opportunities for young scientists in new and candidate countries to start research in FAW. WP C “Awareness and Implementation” focuses on enhancing public awareness, promoting implementation of EU policies, and facilitating uptake of FAW research. All 3 Work Packages proceed in 4 steps: 1. Mapping, 2. Establishing networks, 3. Improving skills and 4. Developing strategies for ongoing integration. Three horizontal activities support the WP’s: a Mobility Desk facilitates mobility of researchers and students; the Communication module supports internal and external communication; and Management takes care of project management and effective communication with the Commission.AWARE will increase the European research capacity in FAW activities, through integrating the underutilized human and knowledge potential in the new and candidate countries. The project will result in faster and more comprehensive FAW knowledge transfer across Europe. It will also build for the future by drawing young scientists into FAW research and providing a base for harmonized implementation

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Synthetic aPerture Interferometric raDiometer for sEcurity in cRitical infraStructures', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Along with the evolution of nature and frequency of threats on various critical infrastructures and soft targets, there is a need for evolution and improvement in the detection solutions of hidden objects or materials that can represent a menace to European citizens and assets. Current long queues at airports or administration security checkpoints and bulky scanners will soon be seen as outdated with the coming technologies. As the number of transportation hubs and sensitive location for common security are increasing (airports, power plants, prisons, administrations) passive scanning system, not emitting any radiation, represent the most promising opportunities. Such systems require to tackle ethical issues such as the displaying of personal bodies and still be able to detect hidden objects. Other technical challenges have to be met in order to integrate such detection solution into the everyday life : 3D analysis, real-time detection, spatial resolution. SPIDERS project, built from the results of recent FP7 project to propose the latest passive millimeter wave technology with a synthetic aperture interferometric radiometer. The French company MC2, specialised in radiometric sensors and microwave products and services, aims at developing its business on the rising markets of PMMW technology for security applications and tackle all the stated technical and business challenges to demonstrate a fast 3D scanning system of walking people and detection of hidden objects and materials. The  SPIDERS will represent a budget of 1,2 million euros and start in 2015 for 24 months.
