user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Grating devices in Polymer optical fibre' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Fibre Bragg gratings are wavelength selective mirrors, written by laser inside a standard silica optical fibre. Over the last 15 years, many applications of these devices have been demonstrated in telecommunications and sensing; there is a growing commercial activity in this field in Europe.Recently, single mode polymer optical fibres (POF) have become available and the first demonstration of a Bragg grating in such a fibre was reported by the proposed Fellow working at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. The properties of POF make such devices very attractive, especially for sensing applications.The advantages are firstly that POF can survive strains over 300%, while silica fibre often breaks at a few percent Secondly, the sensitivity of the reflected wavelength to temperature is more than 10 times greater in POF, which is advantageous for making widely tuneable optical filters or for temperature sensing. The third advantage relates to the organic nature of POF and the low fibre drawing temperature used (around 200 Celsius).Organic dopants can be added to POF at the perform stage to, e.g., provide amplification or enhance non-linear properties. Finally, for in-vivo medical sensing applications, POF has the advantage of being inherently more biocompatible than silica fibre.The Host institution has over 15 years expertise in producing silica Bragg gratings and has worked with many companies in the exploitation of the technology. When POF gratings were first demonstrated, the Coordinator grasped the potential advantages of this technology and initiated a research programme, which has just demonstrated the first Bragg gratings written in micro-structured POF.This project seeks to exploit the natural synergy between the expertise of the Fellow and his current researc

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'The Role of Mixotrophs in the Oceanic Carbon Cycle'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Oceanic life plays a major role in global biogeochemical cycles and the oceans act as sink for atmospheric CO2. How an ecosystem influences the carbon cycle depends on its balance between primary production and respiration. Primary producers convert inorganic carbon into their biomass, thereby removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Conversely, consumers take up organic material to fuel their respiration and release CO2 back into the environment. The two key processes in this cycle, primary production and consumption of organic material, are usually considered as being performed by different groups of organisms, autotrophs and heterotrophs. However, some organisms, the so-called mixotrophs can perform both of these processes simultaneously and hence, can have opposing effects on the carbon cycle depending on their balance between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition.Mixotrophic eukaryotes have recently been found as both abundant and important for key ecosystem processes in the ocean. However, the basic biology of mixotrophs is not well understood, particularly the environmental drivers that influence their nutritional balance. The goal of this project is to gain a mechanistic understanding of the role mixotrophs play in the marine carbon cycle. To achieve this, mixotrophs will be studied at all relevant organizational levels, ranging from gene expression patterns at the molecular level to the diversity and activity patterns on the ecosystem scale. In particular (i) a molecular study using transcriptome and proteome analysis will elucidate the metabolic integration of their nutritional pathways, (ii) their contribution to biogeochemical cycles will be quantified by NanoSIMS technology, and (iii) ecological factors controlling their distribution and diversity in the ocean w

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Advanced system of teledetection for healthcare. Management of asthma' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Background The asthma disease is a significant cause of morbidity world-wide. It is estimated that some 155 million people, equivalent to the population of Russia, suffer from the condition and the number is increasing. As such it represents a major health hazard and accounts for substantial direct medical costs. Asthma and allergic rhinitis are the result of a sensitisation of the body to allergens, the most common of which are pollens. From past experience, allergy sufferers have a reasonably accurate idea of when and where their particular pollen allergen will appear. But they do not have current accurate information, and so they treat only after the response has developed. What they lack is some real-time and accurate forecast information to tell them the actual pollen concentrations, type and location. Project objective The objective of the A.S.T.H.M.A. project is to provide near real time accurate information on aeroallergens and air quality to the sensitive users on an individual basis and at specific locations to help them in optimising their medication and improve their quality of life. We propose to build an integrated, multi-disciplinary information system to implement that new service. The system will integrate a large number of improvements in existing components: - automation of pollen measurement networks, including pollen recognition byimage processing - spaceborne remote sensing of the sub-micrometer particles - numerical forecasting of allergen dispersion by the atmosphere - multi-media distribution of forecast information A pharmaceutics laboratory is leading the project and will put a high priority to the value and the accuracy of the final product. The system forecasts will be validated against clinical and epidemiological knowledge. The impact of c

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Fast-Tracking the National Narrative for Climate-Neutral Urban Futures' (2021-2027).

assistant: **Innovation**

CapaCITIES 2.0 is designed as a support action for national and regional authorities to advance their governance structures for providing dedicated support for cities to achieve the EU Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission (EU Cities Mission) - answering to the Call HORIZON-MISS-2024-CIT-02-01. As a central initiative to foster and strengthen national narratives for the EU Cities Mission, it will coordinate actions across climate-neutral initiatives for cities in Europe, align and speed up efforts towards the goals of the Mission. CapaCITIES 2.0 will further shape a European environment conducive to urban climate neutrality transitions for national, regional and local authorities. It will initiate and strengthen national change processes to establish and mature national networks and platforms as well as multi-level governance in the entire EU, building on the experience of the CapaCITIES that already started setting-up national platforms in 15 EU countries. It provides dedicated support for public authorities to put enabling conditions and measures for cities in place to achieve the EU Cities Mission. Thereby, it contributes to reach (1) Increased preparedness and capacity of national, regional and local authorities in EU Member States and countries associated to Horizon Europe to engage in cities’ transition towards climate neutrality; (2) Improved ability to effectively address country-specific challenges and barriers for cities to achieve climate neutrality related to current regulatory frameworks, funding and financing, and governance structures and promotion of best-practices through transnational exchanges and sharing of experience and (3) Enhanced synergies with R&I national/international communities, relevant initiatives, and partnerships such as the ‘Driving

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Single cell profiling of breast tumors and the residing immune cells leveraged by integration with multi-dimensional molecular data from thousands of tumors' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in Europe, responsible for the highest women cancer mortalities each year. Characterisation of breast tumours teased them apart to distinct subtypes and facilitated targeted treatments that improved survival rates significantly, yet some aggressive subtypes remain difficult to treat. New therapies that harness the patient own immune system to fight the tumour show remarkable success in several cancers but limited one in breast cancer. Single cell genomics is the cutting-edge method to profile tissues at the highest resolution. As a computational biologist experienced in this technique, I will use it to analyse breast tumours with their residing immune cells. I aim to dissect the dynamic processes that shape the clonal development of the tumour as it emerges from a healthy tissue, with an emphasis on the immune system response to the evolving tumour. Single cell genomics, being the main driving tool, will be leveraged by integration with vast data from thousands of deeply profiled tumour samples available in the Host lab. The project includes generation of a healthy breast single cell expression atlas; a computational method to infer somatic mutations clones from single cell genomics data; single cell profiling of breast tumours together with adjacent normal tissues; and lastly, integration of the results with data from the large tumours biobank that holds years of clinical history which may reveal new progression markers and improve risk stratification. This plan is unique by accounting for multiple aspects of the tumours, including normal to malignant transition, interplay of breast and immune cells, and tumour clonal dynamics. By tackling common cancer immune mechanisms, it may provide novel insights of relevance to all

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'The African Origins of Western Canon Law. An Investigation into the Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum'.

assistant: **Concept**

In the proposed project, I aim to prepare a comprehensive study of the most important North African collection of canon law, the Late Antique Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum (CCAR), which is also the oldest known canonical collection of the Western Church. This collection is of fundamental importance, because 1) it had greatly impacted the development of occidental canon law on a textual level (to name but a few collections: Hispana, Dionysio-Hadriana, the Hispana Gallica Augustodunensis and the Decretum Gratiani) 2) it had a long-lasting impact on the perception of Africa in Medieval Western Europe, because its textual material was extremely widely disseminated and used across the continent. Canon law texts are not only sources of legal history, but they can be evaluated as sources of historiography and social history as well; the CCAR is a prime example for how texts have been selected, reshaped and adapted by later generations. These observations also lead to several questions, which shall be addressed: To what extent is the CCAR transmitted in mss. alongside texts of African church fathers? What documents have been revised when copying the CCAR, which African texts have been omitted, rearranged, annotated? Has the legitimacy and authenticity of the African canons been contested or doubted in later periods? What role did Africa play in the imagined landscape of Western Christianity and Latin canon law? As ties between Western Europe and North Africa had become severed, did it follow that the now essentially decontextualized African material could be reinterpreted or even manipulated for ones own purposes? In other words: in what ways does the textual shape of the CCAR derive from later scribes and compilers making liberal use of the past? On the basis of the CCAR, I

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Waste Heat Integrated Industrialised Trucks and Tractors Engine', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

In a combustion engine, 60% of the fuel energy is lost into heat mainly through exhaust gases. Such vehicles as heavy-dutytrucks and tractors will still use combustion engine in the next 20 years. Therefore, the WHR technology with its efficientresults is integrated in the 2020 “product plan” of major constructors (OEM) and suppliers (Tier1).WHIITE is the most promising WHR technology because :• It is a small additional engine designed with major constructors to be integrated easily in existing engine environment(trucks and tractors).• It creates additional mechanical power without gas emission.• It reduces by 8% to 10% the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.• It does not increase neither vehicle weight nor its number of components, as it replaces air compressor and EGR cooler.• It is built with conventional material without electronics needs. Furthermore, WHIITE is maintenance free for 1.000.000 km.Cost price will allow a payback period shorter than one year to End Users (transport operators,..).• Its principle is protected by worldwide delivered patents with a freedom to operate. An independent expert has validatedthe demonstration of the engine at the TRL6 level.Truck and tractors represent a potential market of 450.000 vehicles in Europe. Our ambition is to become the worldwidereference in WHR for heavy vehicles with a target turnover of 243 M€ in 2023 and 286 direct employees.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'European Structural Wood - for sustainable building components'.

assistant: **Concept**

ESW proposal outlines the opportunity to develop an innovative technological process which will produce a new constructional material, having higher yields compared with the best alternatives in terms of technical results, economic and environmental footprint performances. That would make ESW advantageous competitor and feasible alternative as structural material representing the best performing material for supporting structure. ESW proposed technology uses Thermo Vacuum Wood (TVW) for manufacturing an outstanding new bio-material which has the potential to replace most commonly used structural materials such as concrete, steel and timber. This novel process will ensure the sustainable supply of raw European materials via extremely environment friendly new solution in construction industry, and will also provide participating SME with the opportunity to derive an ongoing income. The engineered ESW has better technical performances (more resistant, robust, seismic tolerant) in respect to raw wood, laminated wood (glulam), aluminium alloy, concrete. Upon successful completion of this project, the likely benefits to the partners, end-users and society will include:•The ability for manufacturing large-scale ESW constructional components•Significant reduction in carbon emission and consumes of energy via elimination of tropical timber import from extra UE countries•Reduction of toxic and pollutant glues used for manufacturing wood laminated constructional components; •Savings (up to 20% €/m3) for multilayer constructional components compared with wood (non tropical) and glulam ones.•Savings (up 70% €/m3) compared with constructional structures made of tropical timber or other thermotreated woods thanks of the use of local European (low market value) woodESW is made okìf woo

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Changing the rules of domestic gas metering' (2014-2020) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Smart metering constitute a priority in the Energy Union strategy for they contribute to a more efficient use of energy and empower consumers to actively participate in the energy system as “prosumers”. Consequently, the EU actively fosters “new smart technologies that make it possible for consumers to control and actively manage their energy consumption”. Nevertheless, while in the case of electricity smart metering is nowadays a well launched business, the same does not hold true in for gas: notwithstanding the huge market potential (120 million across Europe) and the mandate 2009 Gas Directive for the large-scale roll-out of smart gas meters, by 2015 only 2.5 million smart gas meters were in operation, corresponding to a penetration rate of around 2%.This state of facts is mainly due to the considerable variability in gas market characteristics at a national level, whereby the majority of Member States found that, for now, costs of smart gas metering deployment outweigh the benefitsYet business benefits from installing smart gas meters clearly exist, deriving from reduced operating costs through savings in manual readings, improvement in scheduling, billing and balancing processes, and from consumer engagement opportunities. Gas retailers, i.e. companies engaged in the sale of gas to final users, are the players that would most directly take monetary advantage of the largest share of such benefits.Our project focuses on the business opportunity stemming from the unfulfilled market need of smart gas metering adoption. To seize this opportunity we have developed NINA, an innovative non-invasive device whose innovative features make of the answer to both the EU mandates tackling the societal challenge of energy efficiency through consumers empowerment, and to industry p

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'The Mamlukisation of the Mamluk Sultanate II: historiography, political order and state formation in fifteenth-century Egypt and Syria' (MMS-II).

assistant: **Concept**

MMS-II pursues the hypothesis that the Mamluk sultanate was a cultural product constructed in the interaction between state formation and historiography. MMS-II follows up from the ERC-project MMS' focus on the social production of power networks in the Syro-Egyptian sultanate between the 1410s and 1460s, but it does so by directing the themes of political history and Arabic historiography towards entirely new, unexplored horizons. Current understanding of the late medieval Middle East continues to rely heavily on the rich Arabic historiographical production of the period. However, the particular nature, impact and value of this highly politicized historiography remains hugely underexplored and underestimated. MMS-II aims to remedy this, by arguing with and beyond instead of against or outside of this historiography’s subjectivities. It wants to understand its texts as products of particular socio-cultural practices and, at the same time, as a particular type of actors in such practices. Analytically, state formation will be prioritised as one extremely relevant patterned set of effects of such practices. Heuristically, the project will focus on practices related to claims of historical truth and order, asking how Arabic historiographical texts written between the 1410s and the 1460s related to the regularly changing social orders that were produced around the different sultans of these decades. My main hypothesis is that of these texts' active participation in the construction of a particular social memory of one longstanding sultanate of military slaves (‘Mamlukisation’). MMS-II has three specific objectives: the creation of a reference tool for Arabic historiographical texts from the period 1410-1470; the in-depth study of particular sets of these texts; the analysis
