user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Development of cattle embryos on polarised oviduct and uterine epithelial cells'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Research objectives and content Ihe aim of the project is to compare the in vitro development of cattle embryos co-cultured on oviduct and bterine epithelial cells, obtained by using a new cell culture technique, in which they maintain their polarised epithelial character and separate the apical and the basal compartments. First the polarised cell layers will be assessed with regard to functional markers, including morphology, gene expression, energy metabolism and ion transport. Second the effect of supplementing the basal medium with hormones, resembling the changes during the oestrus cycle, will be investigated. These polarised oviduct and uterine ce11 layers, reflecting the physiological situation in vivo, will then be used in a co-culture system for cattle in vitro fertilised (IVF) embryos. Embryo development will be assessed as blastocyst formation rate, cell number and by non-invasive biochemical measurement methods. We wish to establish a new in vitro culture system for IVF cattle embryos to extend our understanding of preimplantation cattle embryos and promote physiological embryo development. Trainining content (objective, benefit and expected impact) In the host institution I will be trained in special techniques, e.g. electrophysiological and metabolic measurement methods and non-invasive biochemical assessment of preimplantation embryos. The project is a continuation of my recent research and will complete my dissertation to reach the qualification 'PhD'. Linlks with industry / industrial relevance (22) The host institution is connected with the company 'Genus' and my home institution is collaborating with tbe 'BFZF' (Bavarian Research Center of Reproductive Biology), which are both active in the in vitro production of cattle embryos.

user: Explain how 'Sodium-ion pouch cells with high energy and power density' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The growing market appeal of rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for electric vehicles and portable electronics as well as the high cost and scarcity of lithium are driving research towards developing alternatives to LIBs. Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted considerable scientific and industrial attention as a potential alternative to LIBs with great economic benefits, which mainly attributes to the low cost and natural abundance of sodium. Moreover, SIBs share many similar characteristics with LIBs, from charge storage mechanism to cell structure, thus facilitating the production of SIBs with the existing LIB production technique and equipment. Currently, the key challenge of commercializing SIBs is to improve their performance to be comparable to LIBs. During the ERC ThreeDSurface project, we have performed both the material designing and 3D electrode designing for largely enhancing the SIB performance. A prototype of rechargeable SIB coin cells with high energy density and supercapacitor-like power density has been achieved, with performance indices that are comparable with the commercial LIBs. In particular, its supercapacitor-like high power density and superior rate capability allow ultrafast charge and discharge without deteriorating the energy density. In this PoC project, we will upscale the SIB coin cells into SIB pouch cells with low cost (< US$ 200 per kWh) and high energy capacity (≥ 30 Ah). Compared to the coin cell with only 1 Ah of a maximum energy capacity, the proposed pouch cell shall be capable of delivering much higher energy capacity in the range of 30-50 Ah, thus realizing battery system with large-scale commercial applications. Meanwhile, we will establish a production-scalable process for mass production of the SIB pouch cells, and

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Volatility Forecasting Evaluation Framework' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Predicting volatility is of great importance in measuring and managing risk more accurately. Volatility is measured, estimated and predicted by a vast number of model frameworks. Though, researcher has to select a specific model for his/her forecasting purposes. Thus, the models are evaluated in order to extract the most adequate model for forecasting purposes.Under the Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships Grand, we define a method of evaluating the predictability of the models, which assumes that the distance between the actual volatility and its forecast is normally distributed. However, empirical applications provide evidence that the distribution of this distance is better described via a leptokurtotic and asymmetric distribution. Under this grand we intend to construct a model evaluation method that presumes a leptokurtic and asymmetric distributed distance between the actual volatility and its forecast. The development of a volatility forecasting evaluation framework, with assumptions closer to reality, is of great importance in producing accurate forecasts of risk measures (specially the last years with the deep crisis caused in financial sectors).

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Mesoionic carbene complexes for water splitting: Harnessing renewable energy sources' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

We have recently discovered a series of carbene iridium complexes that are highly active in water oxidation catalysis (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 9765, see also picture). As the water oxidation half-cycle is the demanding (and thus far prohibitive) step when splitting water to oxygen and hydrogen, these iridium complexes hold great potential for the generation of hydrogen as fuel from renewable, non-fossil sources. A key component for the efficient water oxidation appears to be the mesoionic carbene ligand, which is non-innocent and capable of assisting in proton-coupled electron transfer processes.Within this proof-of-concept project we now aim at evaluating a range of factors that will be pivotal to move this fundamentally interesting reactivity pattern into a prototypical device for energy generation. The principal goal thus consists of establishing the viability and to address technical issues and overall directions for using carbene iridium complexes in energy conversion processes. Clarification of intellectual property rights and deciding on an appropriate patent/licensing strategy constitutes a primary subaim. A specific and critical point to be addressed pertains to the robustness and activity of the catalyst in order to warrant the costs for using a precious metal in energy conversion and storage processes. Optimized catalysts will thus be essential, and will be combined with a photo-absorbing semiconductor as water reduction catalyst to accomplish full water splitting in a single, eventually light-driven device. In parallel, industrial contacts will be sought to identify domains for application of the catalytic device, in which longevity will be among the key criteria.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Software product quality awareness and evaluation as an aid to process improvement' (ESSI-SCOPE) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Software process improvements have not achieved the desired improvements in product quality. This project raises awareness of quality issues in software products, and work in product evaluation leading to improving the quality of products.ACTIONSThe subject matter of the project includes issues relating to software as a corporate asset, software product quality characteristics and their application in practice, existing standards and current work on standardisation relating to software product quality and evaluation of software, approaches to the evaluation of software including focusing on the critical quality characteristics in different categories of software and how they should be addressed, the process improvements recommended to achieve greater product quality, the results of evaluation work in Europe and the types of benefits being achieved, the techniques and tools available and how they are applied in the evaluation of the different quality characteristics of software products.The target audience is all software development organisations, both IT and non-IT, but especially SMEs who are less informed on international developments on software product quality issues such as standardisation work, and evaluation and certification work. It also includes acquirers of software and key users of software. Some variations in emphasis exists from one country to another in terms of the type of organisation, the industry sector, the nature of the persons, and the type of products addressed.The key mechanisms for dissemination are a web information service, an e-mail discussion list, workshops in many countries in Europe, a European conference in Dublin on 15-16 September 1997, a quarterly newsletter, and an enquiry response service available through the internet services.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'European Initiative for basic research in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - IAPP' (EIMID-IAPP) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The EIMID-IAPP training programme is part of the European Initiative for Basic Research in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (EIMID), created in 2003 by scientists of five European centres of excellence (the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin, the CMMI at Imperial College in London, the Institut Pasteur in Paris, the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm; and the vaccine company Novartis in Siena). By building a strong coalition among these institutes, EIMID aims at setting the basis for a future no-wall European Institute of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, as part of the European Research Area (ERA).  EIMID-IAPP aims at implementing the Industry-Academia cooperation through an integrated programme of exchange of young researchers between the industrial partner and the four academic institutions. The goal of the collaborative project is the development of Novel Therapeutic Approaches against Infectious Diseases, with particular emphasis to drug-based and vaccine-based therapies for bacterial infections affecting mucosal surfaces.  Four researchers will be seconded from the industrial partner to the four academic institutions and vice-versa. Each secondment will be for two years (with a six month intermission for intermediate knowledge transfer to the mother institution), and the seconded staff between two institutions will investigate complementary aspects of the same project sub-area.  Each institution will also recruit an experienced researcher for two years, to acquire new expertise and technologies necessary to the project development. A series of informal discussions, and annual general meetings, will allow constant exchange of information and efficient project steering. This activity of Industry-Academia exchange fulfils the EIMID goals of

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Quantification and control of the hazards associated with the transport and storage of fireworks' (CHAF) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Serious explosion accidents have occurred in EU countries that have involved the bulk storage of display fireworks. Currently, there is no means of estimating the hazards posed by such storage and the UN transport classification scheme is all that can be used as a potential indicator. This test scheme, however, was developed for high explosives and munitions and in many instances may be inappropriate. The proposal aims to address this deficiency by undertaking work to better quantify what the UN methods measure and to develop more appropriate tests to replicate the effects of confinement in bulk storage and transport. The modes of reaction of packaged fireworks in fire will be examined and the data obtained will feed into the test development. The results from the proposed new tests will be evaluated against those obtained in full scale fire trials on steel containers and cast concrete structures containing packaged display fireworks to validate the methods.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Autonomous DNA Evolution in a Molecule Trap' (AUTO-EVO), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

How can we create molecular life in the lab?That is, can we drive evolvable DNA/RNA-machines under a simple nonequilibrium setting? We will trigger basic formsof autonomous Darwinian evolution by implementing replication, mutation and selection on the molecular level in a singlemicro-chamber? We will explore protein-free replication schemes to tackle the Eigen-Paradox of replication and translationunder archaic nonequilibrium settings. The conditions mimic thermal gradients in porous rock near hydrothermal vents on theearly earth. We are in a unique position to pursue these questions due to our previous inventions of convective replication,optothermal molecule traps and light driven microfluidics. Four interconnected strategies are pursued ranging from basicreplication using tRNA-like hairpins, entropic cooling or UV degradation down to protein-based DNA evolution in a trap, allwith biotechnological applications. The approach is risky, however very interesting physics and biology on the way. We will:(i) Replicate DNA with continuous, convective PCR in the selection of a thermal molecule trap(ii) Replicate sequences with metastable, tRNA-like hairpins exponentially(iii) Build DNA complexes by structure-selective trapping to replicate by entropic decay(iv) Drive replication by Laser-based UV degradationBoth replication and trapping are exponential processes, yielding in combination a highly nonlinear dynamics. We proceedalong publishable steps and implement highly efficient modes of continuous molecular evolution. As shown in the past, wewill create biotechnological applications from basic scientific questions (see our NanoTemper Startup). The starting grant willallow us to compete with Jack Szostak who very recently picked up our approach [JACS 131, 9628 (2009)].

user: Explain how 'ICFONest+ Advanced Postdoctoral Program' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The goal of ICFONest+ is to provide outstanding young researchers with high level research training, within the INCOMING trans-national mobility scheme. To achieve this ICFO offers to the Fellows its state-of-the-art facilities and resources, and also its outstanding research environment where collaborations and knowledge sharing can thrive, and different fields converge. We believe such an environment to be a unique one. The new ICFONest+ builds on the currently running ICFONest, and puts forward new salient opportunities for the Fellows:- ICFONest+ would increase its level of transnational fellowships to host 25 Fellows, as opposed to the current 14. This has in part been made possible by in 2011 being awarded the highest distinction ever made available for research centres under the Spanish National Funding Program, to belong to the Severo Ochoa Centres of Excellence Program. This award granted ICFO the necessary funds to make its Postdoctoral Programme permanent, and would also allow for potentially expanding the number of Fellows substantially. We believe this possibility to leverage the number of transnational Fellows would be at the heart of the objectives of the COFUND call.- New advanced research training opportunities will also be generated within the Severo Ochoa award itself, enlarging the scope and quality of the Fellows´ training possibilities.-  The recent and continuous expansion of ICFO´s facilities, scope, research groups and research lines will allow the Institute to offer a wider variety of research and training opportunities to the Fellows, thus increasing the career advancement possibilities for the Fellows and the potential impact of the Fellowship.In summary, the new ICFONest+ Programme builds on the previous experience and success of its predece
