user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Serial Optical Communications for Advanced Terabit Ethernet Systems' (SOCRATES).

assistant: **Concept**

The last two decades has seen an explosion in telecommunication bandwidth, a trend which has never ceased. Another current trend is the growing concern for the environmental footprint humankind is leaving due to various industries. The Internet traffic grows roughly by 60% per year, and internet servers today consume about 2% of the total global electric power consumption corresponding to a CO2 emission approaching 1% of the total emission caused by human beings. These trends have made it very clear that it is imperative to develop new technologies that can accommodate for the ever growing bandwidth demand and reduce power consumption. The key issue for modern telecommunication engineers and designers is no longer cost per bit, but power per bit. Using optical methods for carrying data and processing the data, without opto-to-electrical conversion, so-called all-optical methods, may help in this respect. This project will aim at developing an all-optical power-efficient communication scenario based on serial optical communications. In serial communications, fewer components will in general be used, and with ultra-short pulses, very high bit rates will become available. Historically, increases in the serial data rate have lead to cost savings, due to reduced complexity in management, reduced power consumption and a reduced number of components. We believe this will hold true, and will explore the fundamental physical limits of serial communications to reach the ultimate serial bit rate, and develop network scenarios to fully take advantage of the serial nature of the data, whilst maintaining a focus on limiting the power consumption. In particular we want to design network scenarios for optical serial multi-Tbit/s data and additionally build a 1 Tbit/s optical Ethernet s

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Functional and structural studies of NiFe hydrogenases as a basis for the industrial production and utilization of hydrogen' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The interpretation of the structure of hydrogenases, responsible for hydrogen metabolism in micro-organisms, should provide a basis for the optimized bioproduction of hydrogen and the design of improved, CO-resistant, fuel cells. These two aspects are central to the development of clean energy sources and as substituents of rapidly depleting fossil fuel sources. A recent report (The Economist 'Living with the car', June 22nd, 1996, pp. 3-18) clearly shows that the only alternative to internal-combustion motors that makes sense is the hybrid engine. In such engines methanol is used to produce H2 which, in turn, is oxidized to generate electricity in a continuous way. Three problems arise, however: 1) the high cost of the hydrogen-splitting catalyst (normally platinum) makes such engines very expensive, 2) the fuel cells can be poisoined by carbon oxides, by-products of the H2 generation process and 3) hydrogen is much more expensive than traditional fossil fuels. We intent to apply the knowledge gained by studying H2 biocatalysis to help solving these problems.  NiFe hydrogenases are bacterial enzymes that catalyse the reaction H<-> 2H+ + 2e . All the groups participating to this proposal have significantly contributed to the elucidation of the active site structure and function of these proteins through 1) crystallographic studies on the enzyme from the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas (that have shown that the site is an heterobinuclear containing nickel and iron, with three diatomic ligands bound to the latter); 2) Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopic analyses of Chromatium vinosum and D. gigas hydrogenases (that have indicated that the crystallographically detected Fe ligands are COCN-2 ); 3) redox titrations monitored by Electron Paramagnetic Reson

assistant: **Impact**

This project aims to develop and validate (to reach TRL 4) a novel thermochemical technology that not only can store mid-temperature heat (250-400 deg C)This project aims to develop and validate (to reach TRL 4) a novel thermochemical technology that not only can store heat at competitive cost and very high efficiency but also may upgrade that to considerably higher temperatures. This way, the technology enables the upgrade of medium-temperature heat to drive high-temperature and more efficient power cycles, e.g. supercritical. The heat is stored in the form of chemical bonds making it suitable for a long-duration and seasonal storage solution for power and heating applications This novel and outstanding heat storage/upgrading concept offers some further important features that make it even more promising. These are its i) competitive cost-effectiveness compared to other technologies due to its expected long lifespan, and design/operation simplicity, ii) compatibility with a variety of heat sources (solar collectors, industrial waste heat, electricity, etc.), and power blocks, upon the right material selection, iii) capability of continuous discharging with periodic charging as a requirement for many power cycles upon proper sizing/design, iv) scalability up to several-hundred MWhs of capacity and storage duration from several days to even seasonal with minimal losses, v) no environmental impacts, toxicity, and human health issues, and vi) many more potential applications upon further and case-specific developments in the future. The consortium consists of 9 partners from all corners of the EU; including 3 universities, 1 research center, 2 SMEs, 2 large enterprises, and 1 NGO, ensuring that all required expertise exists for the successful accomplishment of the project

user: Describe how 'Application of new technologies in the field of CAD/CAM and rapid prototyping within the toys sector' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This project aims to validate and disseminate the design tools developed within the Esprit Programme, such as 'Prototype 3D optical scanning systems integrated into different CIM environments' and 'CAD geometry data exchange'. The incorporation into the toys sector will be carried out with the collaboration of 11 companies who will test the results.TOY-CIM aims to solve the existing problems in the toy industry related to the transfer of data between the different teams and systems involved in the design, development and release of a new product in a toy company by integrating 3-dimensional data collection through laser digitisation. The acquisition of emerging technologies from other sectors brings down the time span needed to develop new products, by increasing the capacity and flexibility of the design processes, which should result in major cost reductions.The project will implement, in all of the participating companies, that together for an unique virtual enterprise where every possible process is represented, the equipment and the procedures to automate the product design stage and its connection with manufacturing, within an integrated CIM context.Great importance will be given to the dissemination of the results to other European toy companies. This has the support of the European Federation of Toy Industries (FEJ), and will imply the creation of a technological network and an exhibition centre of the new technologies.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Molecular theory and computer simulation of flexoelectric effects in nematic liquid crystals', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content The flexoelectric effect in liquid crystals is similar to the piezoelectric effect in solid state and represents the coupling between an applied electric field and a material deformation. The aim of our project is to investigate flexoelectric effects in liquid crystals at a molecular level. This will be performed by combining computer simulations and density functional methods. First we shall model the interaction potential between molecules of asymmetric shape using suitable attractive-repulsive potentials of the Gay-Berne type. This model will then be used within Monte Carlo simulations of flexoelectric deformations. The simulation results will be analysed in terms of profiles of the orientational order and spatial correlations of dipole moments. Moreover, a density functional approach to flexoelectricity will be developed allowing the derivation of microscopic expressions for the flexoelectric coefficients. The latter will then be calculated from the computer simulation data and their dependence on molecular properties will be studied. This evaluation will provide significant progress in the understanding of the molecular origins of flexoelectricity. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) Considering my scientific background as a theoretical physicist, it will be an advantageous experience for me and improve my knowledge of molecular modeling to work on a project that is connected to physical chemistry. In particular, I shall strongly benefit from the ability in computer simulations of liquid crystalline materials available in Prof. Zannoni's group. Combining the high level of expertise of the group in Bologna with my former research we expect an important impact to the research on flexoelectricity. Links with indust

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'HEteroblasty MOdelling: the TImetable of ONtogeny in Arabidopsis Leaves'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The diversity of forms in nature raises questions on the mechanisms by which these forms originate. In many plant species, variations in leaf shape and size between juvenile and adult leaves accompany the acquisition of reproductive competence. This is termed heteroblasty. The canonical molecular pathway controlling heteroblasty has been recently described. It is topped by miR156, a miRNA which acts as a master switch to prevent the adult behaviour through the repression of transcription factors. However, the way how these genes control the growth patterns by which heteroblastic forms arise remains unknown. In this project, I propose to study the dynamics of heteroblasty establishment in Arabidopsis, by combining the knowledge acquired in molecular biology on the control of heteroblasty with the expertise on modelling of leaf growth in the host group (Prof. Enrico Coen and Prof. Andrew Bangham).Preliminary results suggest that the heteroblastic changes in leaf shape are ruled by the miR156 pathway until a certain leaf developmental stage, while the changes in leaf size are conditional on plant’s capacity to exploit its environmental resources. To test this hypothesis, I will i) use a modelling platform developed in the host group to compare quantitatively the early growth pattern of leaf 6 (adult) with the one of leaf 1 (juvenile), ii) develop an inducible line to analyze and model the spatiotemporal effects of the miR156 pathway in these early growth patterns, iii) modify the environment during leaf 6 development to analyze the plasticity of this leaf, and iv) analyze and disturb the expression of miR156 during leaf 6 development to question the involvement of the miR156 pathway in the control of final shape and size of this leaf.Through a combination of developmental,

user: Describe how 'Mechanisms of Regeneration Initiation' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Injury poses a key threat to all multicellular organisms. However, while some animals can fully restore lost body parts, others can only prevent further damage by mere wound healing. Which molecular mechanisms determine whether regeneration is induced or not is an unsettled fundamental question. I will use whole body regeneration, one of the most fascinating biological processes, as an experimental paradigm to identify the mechanisms of regeneration initiation. As a model organism I will employ planarians, flatworms with extraordinary plasticity that regenerate every piece of their body within a few days. I will mechanistically dissect how these animals rapidly induce an efficient regeneration program in response to tissue loss and define the key switches that determine whether a wound regenerates. Combining the astonishing regenerative abilities of planarians with new technologies I will first comprehensively describe the molecular changes occurring during the amputation response. Second, with a powerful novel assay developed in my lab - dormant fragments - that allows for the first time the separation of wounding from tissue loss in a single planarian, I will analyze the dynamics of the earliest regenerative events. Third, I will functionally characterize the regeneration-initiating signals and their target pathways combining in vivo RNAi and phenotypic assays. Fourth, with a regeneration-deficient planarian species, I will test whether the identified key regulators act as network nodes that can be utilized to rescue regeneration. Importantly, using vertebrate paradigms, such as the regenerating zebrafish fin, I will investigate conserved roles of these network nodes and validate general principles of regeneration initiation. This project will not only uncover conserv

user: Explain how 'COMPONENTS’ AND MATERIALS’ PERFORMANCE FOR ADVANCED SOLAR SUPERCITICAL CO2 POWERPLANTS' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

COMPASsCO2 aims to integrate solar energy into highly efficient supercritical CO2 Brayton power cycles for electricity production. Concentrated solar radiation is absorbed and stored in solid particles and then transferred to the s-CO2. In COMPASsCO2, the key component for such an endeavor shall be validated in a relevant environment: the particle-s-CO2 heat exchanger. To reach this goal, the consortium will produce, test, model and validate tailored particle-alloy combinations that meet the extreme operating conditions in terms of temperature, pressure, abrasion and hot oxidation/carburization of the heat exchanger tubes and the particles moving around/across them.
