user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Developing a monitoring system for urban gas pipelines by utilizing state of the art accelerometers, advanced signal processing, and advanced intelligent algorithm based recognition' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The gas grid monitoring systems cannot reliably estimate incident risks nor detect and isolate faults. At best, there are automatic solutions to avoid abrupt incidents. Incipient as well as intermittent fault detection and isolation still occurs randomly. Also, more than 50% of Europe’s ageing infrastructure has been built before 1983, while gas consumption continues to grow. Regarding safety, although the standards and regulations enable to mostly avoid abrupt failures, the current maintenance requirements incur excessive costs for gas grid operators. E.g. in Germany, grid leakages are controlled by expensive airborne LIDAR monitoring systems. This is especially problematic in urban environments, in which most of the consumers are situated- without viable alternatives, grid operators must accept the cost.Nevertheless, recent advancements in remote measurement technologies enable to develop substantially more effective grid monitoring solutions. For example, THE Systems and its team has already proven the viability of networked accelerometers for continuous grid monitoring tasks (THE Systems has tested the solution in an industrial environment in Finland).As a result of this project, THE Systems will combine state of the art accelerometers with advanced signal processing based on computationally efficient algorithms. The uniqueness for urban settings stems from the nodes’ highly effective dampening features and the algorithm’s non-parametric, multivariate, and non-linear characteristics that operate despite high rates of random noise. Thus, it will be possible for grid operators to continuously detect and isolate faults in urban gas networks in an economically feasible manner. The broader impact will be an increase in urban gas grid safety, and at least a 50% reduction

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Towards a comprehensive mathematical description of the Dynamics of Nonlinear Networks. Applications in System Biology' (NLNET-DYN) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

A strong demand has been recently expressed in many disciplines of the European scientific area for the interdisciplinary development of modelling approaches to complex systems. A system is said to be complex when the knowledge of every individual is not enough to apprehend its global behaviour, and the effects of collective interactions need to be incorporated. Modelling approaches consist in establishing models and in studying their behaviours by various techniques. Mathematical techniques offer a rigorous way to describe robust phenomena and identify essential characteristics. Nonlinear networks are the generic models of complex systems. A central issue in their theory is to mathematically address the dynamics in arbitrary regimes of individual and collective factor strengths. So far, this problem has only been partly solved, in extreme regimes. Our project aims to provide a comprehensive mathematical picture. The main training objective is to gain expertise and to develop the necessary techniques, especially the abstract theory of non-uniform hyperbolic dynamical systems. The return phase also includes applications to concrete examples of regulatory networks in System Biology. The outgoing host group has been chosen according to its excellence in the field, especially its expertise in bridging theory and applications. The research experience in US will bring the complementary skills (project management, mentoring, etc) needed to attain a leading independent position in the return host. By proving new conceptual functioning schemes in original situations, the project will contribute to the European endeavour on complex systems which has recently been fostered by the creation of interdisciplinary institutes in EU. As to System Biology, the project will contribute to t

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Species formation from beginning to end: integrative tests of competing hypotheses for the origins of diversity', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Biological diversity is created by the formation of new species and thus speciation is a fundamental process responsible for diversity of life. Progress has been made in identifying individual ‘speciation genes’ causing specific forms of reproductive isolation. In contrast, debates persist about how the speciation process unfolds from beginning to end (i.e., the mechanisms of speciation) and the fraction of the genome involved. What factors explain variability in how far speciation proceeds? This question was framed by Darwin and an active debate concerns whether speciation proceeds further via: (1) strong natural selection on a few genes, resulting in isolated ‘genomic islands of divergence’, or (2) by selection acting on a greater number of genes across the genome. This proposal outlines a research program aimed at resolving this debate, a task that is required to understand the origins of diversity. Specifically, I will use field experiments which measure natural selection at the genomic level to directly test, for the first time, how selection acts on the genome across different stages of the speciation process. The approach uses an integrative combination of eco-morphology, next-generation DNA sequencing, population genomics, manipulative experiments in nature, and linkage mapping to study the origins of diversity. The work is novel in: (1) examining many closely-related taxon pairs (rather than just a few) which vary in how far speciation has proceeded, thereby reconstructing how speciation unfolds, and (2) experimentally measuring (rather than inferring via observation) selection on the genome. The proposed work will clarify our understanding of speciation. By coupling genomics and ecology via experimental approaches, the results will build a new understanding of

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'New Methods For Forecast Evaluation' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Forecasting is a fundamental tool in Economics, Statistics, Business and other sciences. Judging whether forecasts are good and robust is of great importance since forecasts are used everyday to guide policymakers' and practitioners' decisions. The proposal aims at developing three tools for improving the way forecasts are evaluated as well as establishing a research network on time series econometrics and forecasting, essential for my permanent integration at the host institution and the successful continuation of my research career in Europe.The three tools that the proposal plans to develop are aimed at resolving three important practical issues that researchers face in practice. The first project, titled “Out-of-Sample Forecast Tests Robust to the Choice of Window Size”, aims at developing methods to evaluate forecasts that are robust to the choice of the estimation window size. The choice of the window size has always been a concern for practitioners, since the use of different window sizes may lead to different empirical results in practice. The second project, titled “Forecast Optimality Tests in the Presence of Instabilities”, aims at developing tests for forecast efficiency that are robust to the presence of instabilities. Existing techniques are invalid in the presence of instabilities. The third and most ambitious project, titled “Why Do We Do Forecast Tests?”, aims at understanding the relationship between traditional in-sample tests and forecast evaluation tests.In order to successfully complete these projects in Europe, where I have been offered a job starting in January 2012, funding to visit co-authors in the US, present my research projects to conferences, hire research assistants and organize conferences and host co-authors will be essential.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Turning Disabilities into New Possibilities with the Easiest-to-Use Myoelectric Hand Prothesis in the World'.

assistant: **Concept**

Globally there are an estimated 3 million people that are in need of arm prosthetics. Standard prosthetics are expensive, andthey need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years, making it a burden on those who need it. Standard prosthetics also do not giveusers the range of motion and freedom need to be most useful to them. Only a small proportion of amputees can afford hightech protheses. Adam’s Hand (A Dialogic, Adaptive, Modular, Sensitive Hand) is an innovative myoelectric hand prosthesisbased on a revolutionary mechanism – patented in Italy, patent-pending in EU, USA, China, India - that moves all fingerswith just one motor (instead of the state-of-the-art 5-6 motors poli-articulated devices), making it extremely easy to control.Adam’s Hand provides a fuller range of motion and control for users, acting more like a living hand, also being lighter, morecompact, less loud and presenting higher autonomy. The number of people who will require an amputation will double by2050. Having a device that allows you to have a functioning limb will allow people to have more freedom in their everydaylives. Adam’s Hand’s innovation represents a growing trend in the mechatronic research field, allowing for the design ofrobust, lightweight and easy-to-control end-effectors and in high-resistance 3D printing that allows for the fast production oftailor-made and highly-customizable prosthetic devices. This gives us a SOM of €300 million. People with disabilities makean enormous contribution to European society, but often face barriers that prevent them from participating in society on anequal basis with others.

user: Explain how 'Enhancing Quality of Life' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Quality of Life (QoL) research, particularly in healthcare, continues to expand. The final judgment of the impact of a medical treatment is typically made by its ability to positively change the QoL, or at least not to reduce QoL, alongside its treatment i mpact on life expectancy. The nature of QoL and the process of its judgement is only beginning to be understood. Many writers note the lack of conceptual development in QoL. However, this acknowledgment seldom results in concrete proposals to advance the f ield. How people construct assessment about their QoL remains largely unclear. Conceptual ambiguity is illustrated by research findings. Recent research shows that individuals may undergo a shift in expectations, values and views they hold about life (resp onse shift). These may influence the context of their QoL judgment. These challenges need to be understood firstly to comprehensively understand QoL as assessed over time in a medical condition and then to be able to move to developing methods of conceptua lly influencing QoL, rather than seeing it only as a informative outcome variable. The overall aim of this project will be to develop a framework to highlight the possibilities to improve the QoL of individuals in the health setting in Europe. The project aims to understand how the perception of QoL is influenced by response shift, by psychological well-being and heuristics in healthy and diseased populations. The project will contribute to the question concerning the state or trait nature of QoL. Taking he uristics into account, the scientific community will be able to better understand how to assess QoL while controlling for heuristics. This may lead to improved guidelines about questionnaire design. Building on two years of Dr. Hofer¿s experience as a EU M C-

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Bright light effect on performance and alertness during daytime' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project is aimed at reinforcement of professional maturity of the researcher through (I) the researchers own study using the partner institutions resources (light laboratory), and (II) the advanced training on research related problems.(I) The study: Bright light (BL) can affect human central nervous system either through circadian clock (phase shift) or independent of it. Little is known about daytime exposure of BL on cognitive performance and alertness. However, there is a decrease in performance an d alertness in the afternoon hours (post-lunch dip) manifesting itself in decreased productivity and increased accidents rate. Postlunch dip is related to the ultradian (12 h) rhythms of sleepiness and of the circadian clock system. The ultradian rhythms o f brain hemispheres activity are periodically asymmetric and better performance is associated with symmetric rhythms of brain hemispheres activity. The research is aimed at alleviation of the postlunch dip in performance and alertness by exposure to BL. It is assumed that BL may produce symmetry of the ultradian rhythms of information processing in both hemispheres. It is planned to study 20 subjects during two the 24-hour constant routine experiments in 2 lighting conditions: (i) the baseline: light of 500 lx (ii) the BL: daytime exposure to intermittent BL (six 15 min. pulses of 5000 lx light every 60 min. of 500 lx light within 6.5 h) Processing speed and accuracy of laterally exposed stimuli will be measured and recorded (by purposely designed computer software) and alertness by self-rating techniques every 30 min. Practical implications of this study might be an ecological method of performance and alertness enhancement(II) The advanced training will include completion of courses on research and project plannin

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Accurate Full-Field 3D Shape Measurement Technique of Specular Surfaces by Phase-to-Depth Deflectometry' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

With the advent of advanced manufacturing technology and the advent of intelligent manufacturing, it is becoming more and more important to fast and accurately measure 3D shape of components surface, especially specular objects, in the process of intelligent manufacturing, which is a guarantee to improve the product quality. This project will solve the challenging problems in deflectometry. If successful the project will open the door to a host of new instrumentation devices. The project will address the fundamental problems how to avoid the integration procedure in deflectometry - a problem that has seriously obstructed the development of measuring the complicated specular surfaces. I propose a novel direct phase-to-depth deflectometry for accurately measuring full-field 3D shape of specular objects with isolated and/or discontinuous surfaces. In addition, I will develop a new instrumentation system using the phase-to-depth deflectometry technique.  Two new techniques and research methods will be studied to realize phase-to-depth deflectometry: 1) display the same fringe patterns on two screens, 2) display two set of fringe patterns on one screen. A novel 3D calibration method will be developed to determine the relationship between phase map and 3D shape data by using a white plate and a plane mirror, both having ring marks on the surface. Such application will greatly promote 3D measurement technologies and should lead to significant economic and societal benefits to Europe. Through this Fellowship, I will gain new knowledge and training about advanced optical metrology to keep the international standing as a leading researcher. Therefore, this Fellowship has not only important practical application value in quality assurance of products in the fields of intelligent m

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'IMproving Occupational Safety & Health in European SMEs with help of simulatION and Virtual Reality'.

assistant: **Concept**

5,720 people die yearly in the European Union as a consequence of work-related accidents, according to EUROSTAT figures (2005). Beside human losses, these incidents cost SMEs time and the availability of specific human expertise which directly translates into money and competitiveness.Moreover, to reduce time to market, shorter decision times and high speed productivity are demanded, and this might potentially lead to more risks for safety and health. On the other hand, and although occupational safety and health (OSH) regulations are obligatory and enforced by legal authorities, SMEs have limited resources in time, money and personnel, so it tends to be not regarded as a priority.Therefore, it seems necessary to stimulate awareness and to provide European SMEs with modern and user-friendly tools to support their understanding and compliance of OSH regulations. The IMOSHION project will establish novel methods to enhance SMEs productivity at both organisational and technological levels through better integration of OSH into their daily workflow. The project is targeting all manufacturing sectors (e.g. construction, machine building, metal working, aerospace, food industry) for which OSH concerns are the most challenging.Initial work will be carried out to elicit the technological requirements of SMEs by providing the RTD performers with a further definition of the tools to be developed. The RTD performers in collaboration with the SME associations will develop the set of OSH-related tools of the IMOSHION project. This will include (a) an OSH knowledge and learning management system, (b) a workplace simulation for experimenting and training on OSH issues, (c) an immersive training and learning tool for OSH procedures, and (d) a planning tool for OSH prevention at worksta

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Descensura: A Comparative Study of Poetry under Censorship in the Iberian Dictatorships (1933-1978)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

In the 20th century, the literary field underwent severe repression and censorship from Salazar’s and Franco’s dictatorships. Despite relevant studies, there is no full account of how these two censoring systems evolved along with common ideology but diverse praxis. Besides, the total number of books forbidden or expurgated during this period is still unknown. This project maps out and systematizes knowledge of book censorship in a comparative way, by contrasting the regimes’ propaganda with writers’ resistance, and by identifying literary works that need to be restored today. Within this large map of censored books, it will examine more closely the case of poetry, as a genre that evaded the censor’s eye. DESCENSURA aims at undoing part of the damage inflicted by the censorial apparatus, thus “decensoring” works and providing a degree of justice. DESCENSURA is foundational research that combines archival and digital methods with literary studies. The project gathers evidence from the legal, secret, and cultural documents that relate to the authors and books marked by censors. It then maps out the networks comprised of author, book, and censor review by digitally emulating these relations in a new database: Censura DB. This database will be the team’s main research tool and the first authoritative resource on Iberian book censorship. The project’s research is divided into four streams: 1) Archives, 2) Ideals, 3) Tactics, and 4) Traces. The traces left by dictatorial regimes are both immaterial and material, pertaining to the control, surveillance, repression, and censorship of writers. Yet the material traces left by censors in the manuscripts, proofs, and books they read can be made visible and relevant. That is this project’s task. It is the first-ever study to map out
