user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'NEST Conference on Developing New Areas of Science and Technology in Europe'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The purpose of this proposal, submitted under the Specific Support Action for NEST, is to hold an international conference on the development of new areas of science and technology. This 2-day conference designed to attract 250 attendees is foreseen to tak e place in London on 20/21 September 2005, that is, during the UK Presidency of the EU. It will act both as a showcase for NEST activities across the EU and as a means of reflecting on the ways in which new and emerging areas of science and technology can be nurtured and supported at EU and national levels. There will be poster sessions for NEST projects as well as presentations and round-table discussions which will illustrate with examples the lessons learnt to date as well as the questions raised and sol ved by the NEST programme. With FP7 discussions intensifying, this conference will focus in a practical way on the issue of how funding programmes can more effectively promote a capacity for creative opportunity-seeking in European research. Using the ex perience of the NEST programme, it is hoped that new insights can be gleaned for future EU funded research, particularly in the high-risk and interdisciplinary areas. The conference will be coordinated by UCL with Dr Ilse Vickers acting as Conference D irector, whilst Ken Guy, the Director of Wise Guys Ltd, will act as Conference Adviser. It is envisaged that an external conference organiser will be appointed to deal with some of the practicalities. Negotiations are also under way for the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to co-sponsor the event and hold it at the DTI?s conference centre in London.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Computational approaches to reveal the role of norepinephrine-astrocyte signaling in reinforcement learning' (AstroError), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Updating behavior based on environmental feedback is essential for organisms to learn and develop optimal behavioral strategies. Norepinephrine (NE) release from the locus coeruleus (LC) has been recently shown to critically mediate reinforcement learning (RL), such that a high level of NE released after a reward prediction error (RPE) improves subsequent behavior. However, the mechanism by which transient LC-NE neuron activity (lasting 50-300 ms) influences behavior several seconds later remains unclear.Building on experimental findings in the Outgoing Phase supervisors laboratory, we hypothesize that astrocytes play a previously unreported role in RL: they temporally amplify specific NE-RPE signals, facilitating the exploitation of neuronal sensory information when it is needed to optimize subsequent behavior. We will now probe the theoretical advantages of the novel NE-astrocyte RL mechanism by combining advanced computational analysis and modeling of rich neuronal and astrocytic cortical population recordings during RL.We will investigate computationally and theoretically the role of NE and astrocytes in modulating neuronal population dynamics supporting post-reinforcement behavioral gain. We will use data sets available in the Outgoing Phase supervisors laboratory to address three main scientific questions: 1) How do NE-RPE signals affect the future encoding of task-relevant information in neuronal populations? 2) How do in vivo neuro-astrocytic interactions support cross-population information processing critical for RL? 3) What is the role of NE-astrocytic signaling in RL - how is it biophysically supported, and implemented in novel RL algorithms and recurrent astrocyte-neuron networks (RANNs)? Altogether, I expect this proposal to be transformative in advancing

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Advanced Data Modeling and Analysis Applied to next Generation Industry 4.0 settings and the Internet of Things' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

DATAMINE4.0 is an IF for Career Development for Natasa Sarafijanovic-Djukic, PhD in Computer/Communication Sciences obtained from EPFL, Switzerland, a researcher in statistical modelling originally from Serbia, whereby she will work in IRIS, a Spanish R&D and advanced engineering SME. The project will study the modeling and analysis of data coming from complex industrial and organizational applications, in order to identify hidden causistic relationships in order to calibrate production and organizational control systems. It is highly multidisciplinary combining data science, statistics, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, specific engineering and organizational domains and information technology processing competences. In line with new paradigms such as Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things. Although machine learning paradigms have been in existence for several decades, their penetration in the industrial and public organization setting has been limited. The goal is to build calibration and optimization models using advanced statistical and machine learning methods and other artificial intelligence inspired algorithms, for applications in which existing methods have been unsatisfactory. This will have a big impact on productivity and repeatability of winning formulas for key industrial applications such as customized  production, public sector applications (e.g. optimization of urban mobility), and food processing. This is in line with findings published by the European Union. The developed data mining solutions will greatly enhance the current performance of the selected applications, allowing them a competitive advantage over current methods. The work will be done in an applied R&D environment in line with the objective for Dr. Natasa Sarafijanovic-Djukic’

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Black hole accretion on all mass scales' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Concept**

This project is centered on a unifying view of stellar and super-massive black holes. A good understanding of accreting black holes is not only important on its own accord, but has many implications from cosmology to star formation. Recently a number of phenomenological and theoretical connections between black hole X-ray binaries (XRBs) and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) have been found, connecting 'locally' occurring astrophysical phenomena to the most powerful engines in the universes.These similarities in clude the spectral energy distribution, the radio/X-ray correlation and the power spectral density (PSD) of the X-ray variability. If these connections can be well understood they could be used to derive fundamental parameters like the black hole mass, spin, or accretion power, directly from observations, and to understand the process near black holes in greater detail. The applicant will transfer the 'unified' model for the disc-jet coupling in XRBs, as developed by the host, to the AGN world. The new scaling laws for the emission of accreting black holes, partly developed by the applicant, will be used to scale the properties of the XRB model to AGN. In the theoretical part of this project the applicant will enhance the current models for higher accretion rates and towards higher photon energy. The resulting spectral models will be tested using INTEGRAL data, for which the host institute is a specialist science centre.The applicant will also develop models for dynamical features like the PSD or quasi-periodic oscillations of XRBs and AGN. The project will train the applicant in theoretical and observational techniques partly complementary to his previous knowledge, allowing him to supplement his mainly theoretical knowledge with a wider variety of observational tec

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Acinar cell plasticity in the adult mouse pancreas' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Cellular metaplasia may occur by transdifferentiation of one mature cell type into another, sometimes via an intermediate state of dedifferentiation. This type of cellular plasticity seems to be found in adult pancreatic acinar cells. The loss of differentiation may turn the acinar cells in facultative stem cells in the adult pancreas. Both in regeneration of exocrine as well as endocrine tissue and in pancreatic disease states, this type of acinar-derived precursor cells has found to be implicated. Therefore, the different steps in acinar cell transdifferentiation and the signalling pathways and molecular mechanisms governing the process need to be investigated in depth. Before, we have developed an in vitro system to dissect different steps in acinar cell transdifferentiation starting from purified mouse acinar cells. This system permits to accurately evaluate changes in gene and protein expression during the different stages of acinar cell transdifferentiation, and when perturbing specific signalling mechanisms (using chemical inhibitors, RNA interference or using cells from genetically modified mice). Our study will be focused on Notch and Ras signalling events, and the role of caveolae as a higher hierarchical platform to integrate these signalling pathways. Results will be further validated in an in vivo experimental model of acino-to-ductal transdifferentiation, based on ligation of pancreatic ducts. We will also investigate a possible molecular switch of RBPs (recombining binding protein suppressor of hairless RBP-Jk and its paralogue RBP-L) and the genes targeted by it, when the cultured acinar cells convert into precursor-like cells. Knowledge on acinar cell plasticity can be used to prevent acinar cell de- and transdifferentiation in pancreatitis and pancreat

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Renewable energy from crops and agrowastes (CROPGEN)' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The overall aim of the research is to produce from biomass a sustainable fuel source that can be integrated into the existing energy infrastructure in the medium term, and in the longer term will also provide a safe and economical means of supplying the developing hydrogen fuel economy. A series of closely integrated sub-objectives aim to deliver a breakthrough in costs that will firmly establish biogas technology as an economically attractive energy production process for both on and off-site use.  The work will identify energy crops and agro-wastes best fitted to energy production in an integrated farming environment, consider energy losses in production and processing, and use these to set net energy production targets as a technological goal. The role of storage and pre-treatments will be considered. Co-digestion will be evaluated as a means of improving energy yields from materials which were uneconomic for biogas production. Some agricultural residues will also be investigated as potential high-yielding substrates. Innovative bioreactor designs and operation modes will be tested. A European database of bio-kinetics for use in design and operation will be established. True life cycle costs of biogas production will be determined in large-scale trials. These will allow verification of laboratory data and predictive models, including advanced decision support systems to optimise energy production. The work will consider the need to achieve continuity of energy supply in an integrated farming environment. Issues of sustainability, environmental impact and socio-economic factors will also be addressed.  The results will add to EU databases on bio-energy crops; give engineers the necessary tools to develop the technology; and provide the farming community with evidence

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Algebraic Methods for Stronger Crypto', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Our field is cryptology. Our overarching objective is to advance  significantly the frontiers indesign and analysis of high-security cryptography for the future generation. Particularly, we wish to enhance the efficiency, functionality, and, last-but-not-least, fundamental understanding of cryptographic security against very powerful adversaries.Our approach here is to develop completely novel methods by deepening, strengthening and broadening the algebraic foundations of the field.Concretely, our lens builds onthe arithmetic codex. This is a  general, abstract cryptographic primitive whose basic theory we recently developed and whose asymptotic part, which  relies on algebraic geometry, enjoys crucial applications in surprising foundational results on constant communication-rate two-party cryptography. A codex is a linear (error correcting) code that, when endowing its ambient vector space just with  coordinate-wise multiplication, can be viewed as simulating, up to some  degree, richer arithmetical structures such as finite fields  (or  products thereof), or generally, finite-dimensional algebras over  finite fields. Besides this degree, coordinate-localities for which simulation holds and for which it does not at all are also captured.Our method is based on novel perspectives on codices  which significantly widen their scope and strengthen their utility.  Particularly, we bring symmetries, computational- and complexity theoretic aspects, and connections with algebraic number theory, -geometry, and -combinatorics into play in novel ways. Our applications range from public-key cryptography to secure multi-party computation.Our proposal is subdivided into 3 interconnected modules:(1) Algebraic- and Number Theoretical Cryptanalysis(2) Construction of Algebraic Crypto Pri

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Free trade and the environment - lessons from the gatt-wto, nafta and the EU towards a new Mediterranean free trade zone' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Research objectives and content The first stage of my research will examine the different aspects of the conflict between free trade and the environment, as it has unfolded over the last years in the new WTO, NAFTA and the EU. In particular I want to focus my analysis on the role of the new legal system of the WTO in this conflict. In this context I want to compare the WTO dispute settlement mechanism to the different institutional arrangements which exist in the EU and NAFTA. I am mainly interested in two questions: (a) What kind of institutional changes can enhance the environmental sensitiveness of the WTO regime; (b) Are there voluntary mechanisms that can improve the environmental performance of local economies, without being inconsistent with the basic principles of Free Trade (e.g. ecolabelling). My research will also examine the distinct rationalities, which interact in this debate.In the second stage, I want to examine whether my conclusions from the first part, can be applied to the proposed Mediterranean Free Trade Zone ('MFTZ'). In particular I want to investigate the tension between two different political trends: on the one hand, the Mediterranean states were able, despite vast economic, cultural and political differences, to produce an impressive environmental framework, mainly under the farmework of the 19 76 Barcelona Convention for the Conversation and Protection of the Mediterranean. On the other hand, there is a continuous process of economic integration between the EU and Mediterranean states, mainly via association agreements. This process is driven by economic motivation and not by environmental considerations.I want to argue that, in order to tackle the conflict between trade and the environment, the proposed MFTZ should seek an institutional fra

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Second Generation Unit Load Device to improve the Security and Efficiency of the Aerospace Logistics Industry' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The SAFEGUARD project presents a new technology to improve the security and efficiency of air cargo through the research and development of a second generation Unit Load Device (ULD). With 1 million ULDs around the world worth over 900 million Euros, they are a crucial element of the global aviation industry. For example, in 2009, 80 million tonnes of air cargo was carried by the existing ULD fleet. However, 26 million tonnes of this cargo (33%) was transported on passenger aircraft and industry experts agree that air cargo is the weak link in the supply chain. Considering the potential security problems around the global air cargo supply chain, there is an urgent need to review and improve existing technological solutions. Over the last 20 years, incremental improvements have primarily focused on weight reduction, which has resulted in compromised security within the supply chain. The research and development of the SAFEGUARD technology will result in a step change improvement in the security of air cargo supply chain, in addition to large economic savings and logistics improvements for airlines. The proposed technology will overcome the existing security concerns in the supply chain, as well as reducing the ULD weight, minimising supply chain imbalances for ULD availability and the current high maintenance requirements. Following the research program, the new technology will enable our SME consortium partners to jointly commercialise a new product, with forecast revenues of 105 million Euros to 2020 and significant advancements in air cargo supply chain security.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'U-space Separation in Europe' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The U-space concept was the response of the Warsaw Declaration in 2017 to use drones as a leverage for jobs and new business opportunities. The U-space Blueprint published by the SESAR Joint Undertaking in 2017, states that “U-space is a set of new services and specific procedures designed to support safe, efficient and secure access to airspace for large numbers of drones”.The number of drones' applications is increasing and, with them, the number of drones that will be flying simultaneously in a same geographical area that will need to be safely separated between them and from manned aircraft to allow the maximum number of flights in a given airspace. The separation problem becomes even worst when flights take place in an urban environment where buildings and extreme turbulent wind shear appears close to them.USEPE is aware of these problems and will research on drones’ separation methods in high demanding environments such as cities. This research will be accompanied by a concept of operations that will be implemented and simulated for its validation. USEPE will also research on the use of machine learning algorithms to automate the safe separation and deconfliction of drones while maintaining airspace capacity in different environments and provide the U-space separation management system with artificial intelligence to comply with the statement made in the European ATM Masterplan Roadmap for the safe integration of drones into all classes of airspace. “[…]to take advantage of the latest developments related to technological areas, such as artificial intelligence […]”.In order to obtain valuable results, a casuistic of real urban scenarios will be defined and their feasibility will be assessed to select and implement the more suitable ones and perform a full validati
