user: Explain how 'Fuzzy controllers and smart tuning techniques for energy efficiency and overall performance of hvac systems in buildings' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Objectives of the project HVAC systems are equipments usually implemented for maintaining satisfactory comfort conditions in buildings. However, their operation requires at least 50% of the overall energy consumption in office buildings. Moreover, improper tuning and commissioning of HVAC control systems often result in excessive ventilation rates, excessive (or insufficient) temperature levels, poor network balance,... and thus in increased energy consumptions and discomfort for occupants. Many advanced control strategies have already been developed in the last fifteen years, specially predictive and optimal control strategies. However, they have not been produced at industrial level, since they were extremely difficult to implement and no tuning strategy had been developed for assisting building control systems installers in this task. The aim of this project is thus to develop optimum control strategies for HVAC systems, based on multicriteria analysis and to develop systematic tuning strategies for these controllers. Two main innovations will be implemented: - The use of rule-based controllers (fuzzy logic controllers) . This will enable the implementation of real multicriteria control strategies incorporating expert knowledge. In the frame of this project, criteria of particular importance will be: energy consumptions, occupants, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, while criteria such as peak load electrical demand, network management and balance, equipment stability and maintenance will also be considered. - The development and comparison of smart setting and tuning techniques for these controllers: It will enable a rational operation and improved performance of fuzzy controllers and is a necessary condition for implementing complex control techniques.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Development of postcombustion CO2 capture with CaO in a large testing facility: “CaOling”' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project is aiming at the scaling-up of one of the most promising concepts for CO2 capture from coal power plants: postcombustion carbonate looping systems. This project focuses on the experimental pilot testing and scaling up of the process at scales in the 1 MW range. The 1 Mw carbonate looping pilot will be built in the Hunosa 50 Mwe CFB coal power plant of “La Pereda”, using a side stream of flue gases of the commercial plant. A parallel research program will be developed along the activities to design, build and test at the pilot, including research activities at lab-scale and fundamental knowledge on sorbent properties. This program will be developed by the scientific leaders in the development of this technology worldwide, and will help with the design of the pilot to a better understand of the results. The scope of this project is the necessary step towards a possible pre-industrial demo plant (10s of Mw scale) .This is clearly in line with the expected level of development for this technology outlined in the European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants and also with wider targets to accelerate the development of breaktrough technologies for CO2 capture under the EU Strategic Enegy Technology Plan.

assistant: **Impact**

The present project, Knowledge-practices Laboratory (KP-Lab) aims at facilitating innovative practices of working with knowledge (knowledge practices") in education and workplaces. KP-Lab presents a unifying view of human cognition based on an assumption that learning is not just individual knowledge acquisition or social interaction, but shared efforts of transforming ideas and social practices, i.e. knowledge-creation perspective. KP-Lab technology builds on emerging technologies, such as semantic web, real-time multimedia communication, ubiquitous access using wireless devices, and inter-organisational computing.KP-Lab is a modular, flexible and extensible system consisting of a cluster of inter-operable applications. The user environment is a virtual shared space and set of tools that enables collaborative knowledge practises around shared knowledge artefacts. KP-Lab involves design experiments and longitudinal studies in schools, polytechnics, universities, teacher training, and professional organizations. A series of KP-Lab courses will be organized during which students will solve complex problems for real customers whether those are enterprises, public organizations, or research communities. Extended pilots involve scaling up of emerging good practices across large number of students. Prevailing practices of managing knowledge in professional organizations will be analyzed.Tools supporting reflection of interactive processes and in managing creation of knowledge and organizational transformation will be developed. KP-Lab technology will emerge through co-configuration of tools and co-evolution of practices between the participants and developers. A European multi-disciplinary research network will be established. Theories, pedagogies and technologies of KP-Lab w

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Governing the Urban Dimension of European Law' (2021-2027).

assistant: **Innovation**

‘GUD EU Law – Governing the Urban Dimension of EU Law’ explores how constitutional principles can enhance integration of urban policies with the European Union (EU) legal order. It critically analyses EU judgements and practices of the EU Urban Agenda to provide a richer understanding of how EU law impacts environmental sustainability and social inequalities in EU cities. Based on this, it will advance proposals for a refashioned interpretation of constitutional principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, constructing an empirically-based understanding of when and how EU institutions should regulate policies with implications on urban spaces. GUD EU Law innovatively combines doctrinal legal research with critical geography’s contextual case analysis and semi-structured interviews to experts. Conceptually, it analyses trends the effects of EU law on urban spaces reveal about limits and possibilities of the EU to solve urgent societal issues, advancing debates on constitutionalism, policy and sociology. To achieve these objectives, I will be supervised by Prof. Le Galès at Sciences Po’s Center for EU Studies and Comparative Politics, a top institute home to one of the largest multidisciplinary groups studying public policies at EU and city level. Besides enhancing my scientific knowledge and skills, as well as my international network and profile as independent researcher, thereby improving my career opportunities, the project will advance EU research excellence and raise institutional and public awareness about the need for governing the urban dimension of EU law. I will distil findings in two journal articles, and formulate evidence-based proposals to govern the urban dimension of the EU in a policy brief.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Advanced Solutions for Asphalt Pavements' (ASAP).

assistant: **Concept**

The Advanced Solutions for Asphalt Pavements (ASAP) project involves the development of a unique road paving technology which will use a bio-bitumen rejuvenator to rejuvenate aged asphalt bitumen.  This technology will help to extend the lifespan of asphalt pavements (roads) and will reduce the environmental and economic impact of roads and road maintenance processes. Recycling and self-healing processes will replace fossil fuel dependent technology. Self-healing will involve rejuvenating aged asphalt bitumen using a bio-rejuvenator developed using microalgae oils (rejuvenating bio-oil). Microalgae has been selected because of its fast growth, versatility and ability to survive within hostile environments, such as wastewater.  ASAP will utilise microalgae, cultivated within the wastewater treatment process, as a source of the rejuvenating bio-oil. The solvent (Soxhlet) processes will be used to extract the oil from the microalgae. To ensure the efficiency of the oil extraction process, an ultrasonication process will be used to pre-treat the microalgae. The suitability of rejuvenating bio-oil as a replacement for the bitumen rejuvenator (fossil fuel based) will be ascertained via a series of standard bituminous and accelerated tests. A rejuvenator-binder diffusion numerical model will be developed, based on the Delft Lattice concrete diffusion model, to determine the conditions required for rejuvenation to occur and to ascertain the healing rate of the asphalt binder. These parameters will facilitate the selection and optimisation of the asphalt self-healing systems (specifically the amount of bio-oil rejuvenator and time required) to achieve full rejuvenation. This novel approach will benchmark the effectiveness of this intervention against existing asphalt design and

assistant: **Innovation**

This project is proposed by 5 SME's, which are all involved in the production and/or the repair of complex and high cost moulds and tools. In order to increase their competitivity they are looking for new, cost efficient repair techniques. Laser cladding and generating offer unique advantages over existing cladding techniques like: Iocal, selective and predse treatment of tools without damaging the surrounding areas Iow themmal load and consequently little or no tool distortion Iow dilution (< 2 %) of the clad layer with the base material very high adhesion between the clad layer and the base material Iess aftermachining than conventional techniques The aims of the project are: process development for repairing of high cost, complex shaped tools using Nd:YAG und diode laser radiation and powder additives analysis and real tests of the functional properties of laser repaired tools development of a modular, mobile repair head for laser radiation including powder feeding set up and test of a mobile demonstration plant showing this new technique economic assessment of the laser treatment The main applications are the repair of cast iron moulds, injection moulds and diecasting tools for cast iron, glass, ceramic, plastic and aluminium components. Successful completion should yield cost savings for the repairing of tools in the European special tool industry (80 90% SMEs) of 56 million ECU per year. By repairing the components (pins) of one injection mould for plastics cost savings of 43,500 ECU can be achieved at one of the proposers. Laser repairing by cladding and generating is also of high interest for SMEs working in the field of repairing of motor components, turbine components and high loaded parts.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Studying Pathogen Phage Host Interactions' (PATHOPHAGEHOST), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The DNA uptake competence system of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes was considered non-functional. There are no known conditions for DNA transformation and the competence master activator gene, comK, is interrupted by a temperate (lysogenic) prophage. We have shown recently that the L. monocytogenes competence system is required during infection to promote bacterial escape from macrophage phagosomes, in a manner that is independent of DNA uptake. Remarkably, we found that regulation of the competence system relies on the formation of a functional comK gene via a controlled process of prophage excision. Prophage excision was specifically induced during intracellular growth, primarily within phagosomes, yet, unlike classic prophage induction, progeny virions were not produced and bacterial lysis did not occur. This study revealed a unique adaptation of a prophage to the intracellular life style of its host, whereby the prophage serves as a genetic switch to modulate the virulence of its host. In the proposed project we aim to investigate this phenomenon and study the give-and-take interactions between the L. monocytogenes 10403S strain and its ϕ10403S-prophage during mammalian infection. We will study the prophage determinants and mechanisms that control intracellular excision and maintenance as well as the mechanisms that prevent its virions production and bacterial lysis. We will explore the crosstalk between phage and bacterial regulatory factors and characterize the mammalian host signals/conditions that trigger this unique prophage response. Lastly, we will investigate the unexpected function of the competence system in phagosomal escape. In particular, we will explore the possibility that the competence system serves as an auxiliary secre

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF ARSENIC CONTAMINATED WATER AND SOIL IN RURAL AREAS OF LATIN AMERICA' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The rational use of natural resources is of vital importance for sustainability and development of developing countries. New policies must be adopted to guarantee sustainable management and utilisation of the natural resources of soil and water. Safe wa ter for domestic and agrarian uses is a world-wide priority in all countries and for all people. The global impact of arsenic contamination on soils and groundwaters by natural (volcanic) and anthropogenic (mining) activities causes serious health issues which need to be addressed with some urgency in the near future. Nowadays, there are no simple and inexpensive technologies to mitigate arsenic contamination. In isolated and poor rural areas in developing countries this problem is deeply aggravated as they cannot benefit from public water treatment processes. On the other hand, agricultural uses of arsenic polluted soil and water is an important issue for food safety concern.The aim of this project is the design and implementation of arsenic mitigati on programmes to solve the specific problems of these poor and rural areas. A complementary topic of interest is the development of monitoring strategies aimed to assess the risk of arsenic accumulation in the food chain. The present proposal is address ed to connect and feedback mechanisms between all the relevant sectors involved in arsenic pollution in Europe and Latin America (scientific expertise in arsenic mitigation and/or removal in water and soil; health agencies; national and regional Authoriti es; stakeholders such as communities, NGOs and the private sector. Other aims of the project are the development of effective and sustainable strategies, compiling the right information, preparing emergency and long term programme phases, and coordinati ng mitigation and mo

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Next-Generation Urinary Catheters for Preventing Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections: Emphasis on Antibiotic Resistance' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Indwelling urinary catheters are life-saving medical devices that are widely used in hospitals and nursing homes to relieve a patient from urinary retention and incontinence. However, prolonged use of these catheters in the urinary tract leads to a life-threatening and disturbingly common complication, called catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). CAUTIs are mainly caused by bacteria and affect nearly 10 million patients every year globally. This makes CAUTI responsible for 40% of all hospital associated infections and the costs for treating these infections exceed 100 million USD a year. Furthermore, the global threat of antibiotic resistance has made it extremely difficult to treat CAUTI via conventional antibiotics and has led to longer hospital stays for the patient and higher mortalities, especially among the ageing population. A strong need exists for new anti-infective catheters that can prevent CAUTIs by enabling a new function that prevents bacterial attachment onto the catheter surface. Such a device w ill offer several advantages such as, prevention of infections, reduced usage of prophylactic antibiotics, reduced risk of antibiotic resistant infections and faster recovery for the patient. A societal advantage of such an improved anti-infective catheter is the ability to control the rise of antibiotic resistant infections in the hospital and the community and reduce economic impact. Amferia AB has developed and patented a novel amphiphilic antibacterial material-a mesoporous elastomeric polymer, referred to as NANOELAST, that is able to target and kill bacteria rapidly upon contact. Of special interest is that the material has been proven very effective in killing numerous antibiotic resistant bacteria, prevent biofilm formation and without caus
