user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'NEXUS 1492. New World Encounters in a Globalising World' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

NEXUS1492 investigates the impacts of colonial encounters in the Caribbean, the nexus of the first interactions between the New and the Old World. This Synergy Programme intends to rewrite a crucial and neglected chapter in global history initiated by European colonisation by focussing on transformations to indigenous, Amerindian cultures and societies. NEXUS1492 will address intercultural Amerindian-European-African dynamics at multiple temporal and spatial scales across the historical divide of 1492. The unique trans-disciplinary synergy of four PIs and their teams of archaeologists, social, natural and computer scientists, and heritage experts will pioneer new analytical tools, and apply multi-disciplinary cutting-edge techniques, theoretical frameworks and skill sets to provide a novel perspective on New World encounters in a globalising world. NEXUS1492 will work with local experts to develop sustainable heritage management strategies, creating a future for the past. This past is under threat from looting and illegal trade, construction development and natural disasters (e.g., climate change, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions). By placing the Caribbean’s indigenous past within a contemporary heritage agenda, this programme strives to increase the awareness and protection of heritage resources. The innovative approach and outcomes of NEXUS1492 will be of global scientific significance and high societal relevance.Four interlocking projects will address:1. Transformations of lifeways and deathways, landscapes, and material culture through archaeological investigations.2. Human mobility and the circulation of materials and objects through isotope geochemistry and archaeometry.3.Socio-cultural relationships and interactions through the reconstruction of archaeological

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Integrated modelling study of fuel cell/gas turbine hybrids (IM-SOFC-GT)' (IM-SOFC-GT) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Objectives:In Europe, a strong emphasis is given to reducing manufacturing cost in stack technologies. As a result, they are still at a much smaller scale than their US competitors. Consequently, the range of Fuel Cell/Gas Turbine (FC/GT) hybrid configurations possible with these newer higher performance technologies have not yet been fully explored and a detailed study is now appropriate. The project aims at:· Develop the capability to assess the performance of FC/GT hybrids using a novel approach of close integration of system and stack models. This approach enables a wider range of system configurations to be explored than to date and improves the potential for finding lower costs systems.· Develop an understanding of the performance requirements for FC/GT hybrid based generation systems and the necessary system specifications needed to address different sectors of the energy market.· Verify that through life environmental impact of FC/GT hybrids will be acceptable to clean energy customers.· Obtain specifications of the fuel cell stack, turbo-machinery and other key balance of plant components by combining market understanding and integrated modelling capabilities.Description of the work:The project focuses on stationary power generation systems primarily fuelled by natural gas but includes work to identify the most favourable bio-gas for use in Fuel Cell/Gas Turbine (FC/GT) hybrids. Three types of sub-systems are considered: sub-MWe high efficiency distributed generation (DG) systems, 1-3 MWe systems suitable for CHP schemes and 20-30 MWe high efficiency DG systems. The project has 6 work packages, which are to be carried out over 2 and half years.They cover:· Assessment of how market pressures map into product requirement for each of the three classes of system.·

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Critical utility infrastructural resilience' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project addresses new networked ICT systems for the management of the electric power grid, in which artefacts controlling the physical process of electricity transportation need to be connected with information infrastructures, through corporate networks (intranets), which are in turn connected to the Internet.CRUTIAL's innovative approach resides in modelling interdependent infrastructures taking into account the multiple dimensions of interdependencies, and attempting at casting them into new architectural patterns, resilient to both accidental failures and malicious attacks.The objectives of the project are:-investigation of models and architectures that cope with the scenario of openness, heterogeneity and evolvability endured by electrical utilities infrastructures;-analysis of critical scenarios in which faults in the information infrastructure provoke serious impacts on the controlled electric power infrastructure;-investigation of distributed architectures enabling dependable control and management of the power grid.The project will:- identify and describe control system scenarios;- provide modelling approaches for understanding and mastering the various interdependencies;- develop a test bed integrating the electric power system and the information infrastructure;- investigate fault-tolerant architectural configurations;- provide qualitative and quantitative support for the identification, analysis and evaluation of the scenarios identified.The results will be validated against test beds of Electric Power Systems.The project's results will help in designing and assessing new Electric Power systems and information infrastructures. Thus, they will enable to reduce the current (unfortunately repetitive) blackouts, in terms of frequency, duration and extent, an

user: Describe how 'Local Agenda 21 self-assessment for local authorities on-line' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The proposal aims to maximise benefits and add value to the LASALA research project. The target is to improve urban governance and decision-making by setting up a fully automated self-evaluation tool for European local authorities engaged in LA21 processes, and to ensure its wide use amongst participants of the European Sustainable Cities and Towns Campaign. This will be achieved by enhancing the self-assessment module and by developing computer software to move from manual to automatic encoding of data and elaboration of benchmarking reports. The resulting online facility will allow local authorities to self-assess their LA21 activities and to benchmark their individual responses against the LASALA database. The database will be automatically updated with each new reply and this will allow identification of general trends and changing dynamics of the European wide local sustainability scenario

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'SOLUTIONS for ENVIRONMENTAL CONTRASTS in COASTAL AREAS' (SECOA) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Urban settlements, following the economic crisis of the 70s, entered in a process of regional and urban restructuring to gain a new image at the international level. As a result of the renewed economic success new flows of permanent, semi-permanent, temporary and daily “human mobility” followed: (i) for consumption (leisure and tourism), (ii) for production (economic migration). The world competition among metropolitan areas highlighted the essential importance of natural and cultural resources. The proposal considers the effects of human mobility on urban settlement growth and restructuring in coastal areas where (i) environment is more fragile and space limited, (ii) every phenomenon is more concentrated and (iii) effects on natural and cultural environment are more acute. Problems are multiplied since the climate change affecting environmental parameters - as sea levels - augments risks of flooding, propagation of pollutants, dislocation of a great number of settlers. Controlling and reducing unwanted consequences is contributing to growing conflicts among stakeholders. An integrated ecosystem approach incorporating social, economic and natural disciplines is essential in understanding and dealing with the complex and dynamic problems facing the coastal city environments. The proposal intends to: (i) identify conflicts, (ii) analyze their quantitative and qualitative effects on the environment, (iii) create models to synthesize the complexity of the different social, economic and environmental systems, (iv) compare the priority of each typology through taxonomy. Outcomes include (i) elaboration of an analysis methodology, (ii) creating tools for appropriate policies, (iii) scenario building, (iv) dissemination–exploitation of results for users’ needs.

user: Explain how 'Energy efficient UV LED curing without inerting' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The proposed project is focused on supporting more than 60 000 SMEs that produce wood products in the EU, by reducing their energy consumption. EU industrial wood product manufacturers are coming under increased competition from imports and are looking to reduce their costs. About 11% of industrial wood products in the EU are coated with UV curable coatings, which contain zero VOCs and are fast curing. UV LED lamps, which emit near-UV radiation, are 60-80% more energy efficient than conventional UV lamps and have environmental, health and safety benefits, but UV LED cured coatings cure much slower than coatings cured with traditional UV lamps, even under an inert atmosphere. The technological objective of the UVLED project is to enable UV coatings to cure using UV LED lamps at the same rate as conventional UV curing, without the need for an inert atmosphere. Our approach is to prepare new, high efficiency near-UV photoinitiator packages, by developing novel silicon- and germanium-based photoinitiators and new chemical methods of overcoming oxygen inhibition. As a result of the UVLED project, we expect to improve our collective competitiveness and generate increased sales of coating and equipment products into the EU industrial wood products market of at least €106M over a 5 year period. In addition, we estimate that an end-user with just one UV curing unit would save about €13K in energy costs per year, compared to the use of conventional UV curing lamp systems. We therefore expect to improve the competitiveness of the European coated wood products industry. Our consortium includes 4 SMEs that represent different aspects of the supply chain from photoinitiator manufacturer to the wood applicator. Although this project focuses on UV LED industrial wood coatings, the mate

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Harnessing multipath propagation in wireless networks: A meta-surface transformation of wireless networks into smart reconfigurable radio environments' (Pathfinder) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The long-term vision of Pathfinder is to kick-start a wireless 2.0 paradigm where wireless channels will adapt to the operation of cellular networks, allowing networks to overcome the inherent limitations imposed by wireless channels hitherto. In this course, Pathfinder builds upon the advancements in the area of electromagnetic meta-materials that can control and manipulate radio waves. This technology allows for designing and fabricating software reconfigurable intelligent meta-surfaces (RISs) that dynamically optimize the wireless channels in response to the dynamic behavior of radio waves, showing an unprecedented potential to control waves from within the wireless channels.This control allows for radio waves to circumvent physical obstacles, improving network coverage, while the phase alignment of RIS constituent elements can maximize the power at the receiver through constructive interference. This, can increase data-rates and reduce the transmit power. Furthermore, sensors and IoT devices can “recycle” and backscatter the ambient radio waves through RISs instead of generating their own, realizing the objective of smart, interconnected cities by employing passive elements that neither generate radio waves nor consume power to generate them.In this setup, the overarching objective of Pathfinder is to set the theoretical and algorithmic foundations of RIS enabled wireless 2.0 networks by deriving: (1) physics-inspired models for the RIS/radio wave interaction. (2) communication & information-theoretic models for RISs networks. (3) models for large-scale analysis of RIS networks. (4) algorithms for the design and optimization of RIS operation. (5) measurements for the experimental verification of the developed models and algorithms. The realization of these objective

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Lipschitz-based Optimization of Singular Values with Applications to Dynamical Systems'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project mainly concerns the numerical solution of singular value optimization problems. In the literature such problems arise in the robust control of linear dynamical systems, and in numerical linear algebra when sensitivity of numerical problems is considered. In a singular value optimization problem a prespecified singular value (e.g. the smallest, the largest) is sought to be minimized or maximized over a space of parametrized matrices. The inherent difficulty in the numerical solution of such problems is the non-convex and non-smooth nature of singular values. The traditional smooth optimization techniques such as Newton's method may not converge at all and, even if they converge, they converge only to a locally optimal point. The three major problems that will be tackled in this project are described below.(1) The Project Coordinator (PC) aims to introduce a unified optimization algorithm exploiting the Lipschitzness of singular values and their derivatives. The algorithm will be meant for large-scale problems with many unknowns. The rate of convergence and backward error of the algorithm will be analyzed.(2) Further applications of singular value optimization problems to dynamical systems will also be explored. Specifically the PC will investigate the applicability of singular value optimization in the context of model reduction of state-space representations of linear dynamical systems.(3) From a theoretical point of view the available numerical techniques for singular value optimization problems can also shed light on the geometric properties of the pseudospectrum. The epsln-pseudospectrum of a matrix A is the set consisting of eigenvalues of all matrices within an epsln neighborhood of A. The PC hopes to prove various conjectures regarding the coalescence

user: Draft an impact statement for 'The role of mitotic tissues in controlling the developmental clock', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

A number of studies suggest that the larval imaginal discs, the precursors of the adult structures in the fly, play a crucial role in coordinating tissue maturation/patterning with developmental timing. Thus, disc transplantation experiments show that the transplantation of a young imaginal discs into more developmentally advanced larvae delays pupal molt, allowing the underdeveloped discs to catch up with other larval tissues. In contrast, complete ablation of the imaginal discs has no effect on developmental timing of the pupal molt. These results suggest that a signal released from imaginal discs prevents the onset of metamorphosis up until patterning/maturation of the discs is complete. Reminiscent of this, wounding of imaginal discs delays pupal molt, thereby allowing damaged tissue to regenerate before the onset of metamorphosis. So far, the mechanisms by which immature/wounded discs prevent the production of the steroid hormone ecdysone and thereby pupal molt remains elusive. The aim of the proposed project is to screen for the signals that couple patterning of mitotic tissue with the developmental clock using the power of Drosophila genetics. For this purpose we developed two different conditions for which we can induce a developmental delay by altering the expression of two selected genes specifically in the discs. These two conditions will be used at two successive levels to screen the VDRC collection of UAS-RNAi lines (12.000 lines covering 95% of the genes having a mammalian ortholog) for candidates that can revert or at least partially rescue the developmental delay.
