user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Membrane structures under shear as studied by neutron scattering' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content Shear flow is known to have a profound influence on the structure of complex fluids like thermotropic or Iyotropic liquid crystals. There is a fundamental interest in understanding the microscopic structure and dynamics of such fluids as the macroscopic material properties change with an external perturbation. This project will focus on the influence of shear on membrane structures. Especially the influence of polymers, that connect surfactant lamellae is studied and it will be analyzed whether shear induced vesicles are stabilized by the polymers. As a key technique neutron scattering will be used to probe the structures on-line with the shear flow. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) This project will strongly contribute to a specialisation in methods combining rheological and structure analysis. The skills gained by the use of neutron scattering can also be applied on other materials and related scattering methods. The participation in the various scientific program (workshops, seminars, summer schools) at the common ILL/ESRF/EMBL site will be a further benefit. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22) The formation of shear induced stabilized vesicles out of lamellar phases is of great interest for the pharmaceutical industry as modern drug carrier systems. There are close contacts on liposome research between the University of Freiburg (Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy) and Boehringer Mannheim.

user: Explain how 'Measurements on structures in ice (STRICE)' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

An earlier EU-funded project beside others has shown that the ice forces on marine structures are significantly smaller than presently used for design purposes. Part of this project is full scale measurements of ice forces against a Lighthouse in the Baltic. Within this proposed project it is intended to continue the ice force measurements for three more years in order to increase the quality and quantity of data which is necessary to draw reliable conclusions as a basis for the establishment of new design criteria for marine structures. The ice forces will be compared with the numerical results of an earlier EU-funded project as well as with investigations on this matter presently underway in Japan and Canada.Measurement of ice forces and ice force effecting parameters during three winter seasons. A data base consisting of selected events with 1. Time series of ice loads, ice thickness, acceleration and inclination2. Video records of ice-structure interaction and ice movement 3. Environmental data and ice maps 4. Set of pictures taken from video camera picture and photo camera 5. log-book with main parameters of ice events (spread sheet file) was established. Data processing of results of collected data 1. raw data collected have been processed, compiled and converted into ASCII format 2. Main events were divided into sub-events, depending on failure mode, ice thickness, ice drift speed etc. and time series were plotted and stored in meta file format 3. Time lap videos were converted from sequential mode into single camera records 4. Additional data evaluation was performed 5. Force data was used to derive a spectral method to model dynamic ice actions. 6. New information on the ice-structure interaction mechanisms. 7. A numerical model for ice-structure contact proces

user: Explain how 'Development of technology to be able to mould three-dimensional products of Melamine compound, retaining a stain-free surface' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of this project is to develop a technique to shape Melamine resin into special integrated products. Melamine is a thermosetting plastic with superb properties, such as practically incombustible (M-1; F-1), high scratch resistance and easy to clean (closed surface). Until yet a limitation is the processability retaining the unique properties. For this reason Melamine products are only available as a flat sheet material (press technique). To shape the material in complex forms a moulding technique has to be developed, so that the products can be used for sanitary and facade applications without after treatment.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Molecular Interfacial structure and dynamics of Nanoscopic droplets in Emulsions (MINE)'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Emulsions consist of one liquid dispersed as nanoscopic droplets in another liquid, such as milk, and butter. The understanding of the structure and stability of emulsions is commonly obtained from empirical studies in which a macroscopic parameter (like temperature or concentration of constituents) is varied. Since the work of Irving Langmuir and others (published in 1917) it is well established that the stability and properties of these nanoscopic droplets are strongly influenced by the state of the droplet interface. However, despite the abundance and importance of emulsions in our daily lives, the molecular mechanisms that dictate the stability and properties of emulsions are still unknown. This lack of insight is caused by the system itself: the condensed surrounding medium forms an impenetrable barrier to most molecular probes. Nonlinear light scattering spectroscopy, a novel method I have developed (both theoretically and experimentally), offers a way of obtaining molecular information (chemical composition, molecular orientation, ordering and chirality) of the interfaces of nanoscopic particles in solution. With this method it should be possible to observe, in-situ, non-invasively and label-free, the molecules at the interface of the nanoscopic droplets in solution. I therefore propose to form a small group that investigates interfaces of nanoscopic droplets in emulsions on the molecular level and timescale. Using femtosecond nonlinear light scattering methods we can finally observe the molecules that dictate the structure and stability of emulsions in action.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'PhD on Innovation Pathways for TES'.

assistant: **Concept**

Following the EC SET-Plan Education and Training Roadmap, the concept of this proposal is to develop a joint PhD programme between universities and research centres, on the topic of Thermal Energy Storage (TES). The goal of INPATH-TES is to create a network of universities and research institutes to implement a joint PhD programme on TES technologies. The final result of such a network is to educate professionals on these technologies for the European research and industry institutions. The consortium includes 14 universities that will implement the joint PhD programme, two research institutions (AIT and PROMES-CNRS), three companies and two SME (Arcelik, Abengoa Solar NT, KIC InnoEnergy, UFP and LAIF), that will cooperate in defining the programme and in its implementation and deployment. The specific objectives of the project will lead to the qualification of professionals for the European research and industry institutions, bringing Europe to continue being leaders in these technologies. The partners in the proposal will be the core of a future larger network of excellent R&D institutions, and industries for co-funding and industrial placement, sharing infrastructure capacities, and enhancing mobility of students. The overall approach of the project involves a work plan divided in six work packages, being either coordination or support activities. Coordination activities: WP1 – Management and coordination; WP3 – Developing, maintaining and updating a PhD programme in TES; and WP4 – Implementation of the PhD programme in TES. Support activities: WP2 – External communication and dissemination; WP5 – Stakeholder involvement and extension of partnerships; and WP6 – Framework for monitoring and evaluation of INPATH-TES as well as IPR and regulatory issues.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Novel vascular-like BBB-on-a-chip' (NOVACHIP) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

There is great need to develop safer and more biologically relevant models for drug screening. Recent reports indicate that up to 20% of acute kidney complications can be linked to drug-induced nephrotoxicity and more than 40 molecules found to reduce Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)-related plaques in animal models were shown to be ineffective in AD patients. It is increasingly evident that both in vitro and in vivo models being used to develop drugs have a limited capacity to predict the pathophysiology of human disease, personalized response, and off-target drug toxicity. The inability to properly test drugs and treatments to diseases such as AD constitutes a risk for pharmaceutical companies and a major obstacle to overcome. This ERC PoC proposal aims to establish a practical microfluidic fabrication process capable of recreating structural and biomechanical features of native blood vessels. Specifically, we aim to develop a scalable 3D Blood-Brain-Barrier in vitro model (BBB-on-a-chip) able to provide a higher level of biological relevance than current in vitro models. The development of such a system would represent a major break-through for the pharmaceutical industry generating therapies for a variety of neurological disorders. Thanks to the ERC Starting Grant STROFUNSCAFF, we have developed a simple fabrication process that combines bioprinting and self-assembly to grow functional fluidic devices with endothelialized vessel-like capillaries (patent application in preparation). NOVACHIP proposes to a) build scalable microfluidic devices made from capillaries that incorporate relevant cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) components, exhibit tissue-like stiffness, and can be designed with specific sizes and geometries to better resemble the native BBB and b) compare it to

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The origin of our universe: seeking links between fundamental physics and cosmology' (UNIVERSENET) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This network will bring together the major European theoretical physics groups investigating the fundamental physics, which shaped our Universe. They have made important contributions across the whole spectrum of research in particle cosmology and astro-particle physics, from phenomenological issues concerning the genesis of matter and radiation, dark matter and dark energy, to fundamental questions about the nature of space-time and of the Big Bang itself. This is an opportune time for such studies, given both the explosion of observational results on the cosmological and astrophysical front, as well as the key tests of theories of new physics beyond the Standard Model, which will be performed in forthcoming experiments within the lifetime of the network.The key research tasks are to investigate:1) the origin of baryons,2) the origin of dark matter,3) the origin of cosmic radiation,4) the origin of cosmic structure,5) the origin of dark energy, and6) the origin of space-time.The Participants have collaborated successfully in the past and trained many young researchers, and the present proposal is intended to continue and broaden these activities. The research to be performed is interdisciplinary and their expertise is complementary in this regard, spanning t he whole spectrum of the physics involved, from mathematical investigations of string/M-theory and quantum gravity to analyses of relevant observational and experimental data. The main emphasis will be on phenomenological models for dark matter and dark energy and cosmological processes such as baryogenesis, hot phase transitions, and inflation.The main goal is to offer training and transfer of knowledge opportunities to young researchers in this rapidly progressing field.

user: Explain how 'Inference and machine learning methods in human-computer interaction' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

My overall vision is that by combining inference algorithms and user interface technology, we can construct more human-computer interaction interfaces that are more efficient, less fatiguing and more interesting to use. In my dissertation I focused on using such an approach for effective text and command entry on mobile devices. In this proposal I want to widen the scope of my investigation from just mobile text entry interfaces to general gestural interfaces, with a special application for an effective end-user programming environment.  My proposal can be subdivided into four research objectives whereas the first two will be tackled from day 1 while the fourth research objective will grow out of the research results from the first two. Immediate research objective 1: tapping vs. gesturing geometric patterns Immediate research objective 2: visualization of pen-gesture recognition Immediate research objective 3: tool support for the design of pen-gestures Research objective 4: sketch-based end-user programming environment   Both pen-based and multi-touch interaction are increasingly gaining popularity among journalists and manufacturers with the arrival of the Apple iPhone and LG high-end mobile phones with their advanced touch-screens. Large multi-touch sensitive displays and pen-based tablet computers are becoming commodity electronic equipment, no longer reserved for research labs. At the same time, processing power and memory on both desktop and mobile devices have improved to allow smarter algorithms to be implemented. This project will provide new innovations and research insights that make these types of devices more practical and more attractive for consumers and professionals. Several European companies could benefit from this research being pursued from within

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'TRANSFORMING ADVANCED WATER SKILLING THROUGH THE CREATION OF A NETWORK OF EXTENDED-REALITY WATER EMULATIVE CENTRES'.

assistant: **Innovation**

WATERLINE aims to create a European Digital Water Higher Education Institution (HEI) Alliance, based on the quadruple helix model of innovation, leading to the development of the Alliance’s research, educational and entrepreneurship capacities. This shall leverage the individual, institutional and regional resources required for a transformative structural and sustainable learning and innovation environment. To achieve this, WATERLINE has five specific objectives: (1) support consolidation of the Alliance by co-creating a common governance framework, and a Research & Innovation (R&I) capacity building plan; (2) co-create a portfolio of water components for Master level and transform emulative laboratories in partner Widening HEIs into assisted and virtual reality. These structural changes will lead to transformed and more competitive R&I HEIs; (3) strengthen WATERLINE researchers’ R&I capacity excellence by implementing activities, such as summer schools to enhance education and R&I skills, and proposal writing workshop; (4) build a European network of academics/researchers who, together with quadruple helix actors, will allow knowledge flow in water domains and extended reality technologies. This allows greater involvement of regional actors in the R&I process and enhances one of the major societal challenges: water-related education. Moreover, it will strengthen academic and business links through academia-to-business meetings and a hackathon to mainstream entrepreneurship mindsets. WATERLINE will, finally, (5) sustain the alliance by, (i) establishing ambassador networks, (ii) identifying the R&I funding landscape, thus increasing participation in HE and the mobilisation of resources in the water sphere, and (iii) creating synergies with EU initiatives, institutions,

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Social cognition in 22qll.2 schizophrenia mouse model – role of mPFC dysfunction and oxytocin', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Schizophrenia is associated with impairment of social cognition and social function. Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is crucial for processing of social cues and regulation of social behaviour. Altered connectivity within mPFC in schizophrenia patients compared to healthy controls could explain patients’ poorer ability to differentiate between individuals and impairment to emotion recognition. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is one of the largest know genetic risk factors for developing schizophrenia and is associated  with impairments to social recognition and emotion processing. However, the changes to mPFC neurocircuitry in 22q.11.2 causing the social cognition deficits remain poorly understood.  Oxytocin (OXT) is pivotal to social recognition and social function. Inactivation of mPFC OXT receptors impairs social recognition in mice comparable to social cognition deficits in schizophrenia. The 22q11.2 deletion mouse model (LgDel) displays impairments to social memory and emotion recognition and mice display altered mPFC neuronal activity patterns during cognitive tests and brain OXT levels are lower in LgDel compared to wild type mice. These findings suggest that social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia could be caused by disruption to mPFC neurocircuitry, possibly mediated by altered OXT availability or by OXT modulation of dopamine within mPFC. Using a combination of cutting edge electrophysiological recordings and measurement of OXT and dopamine real-time dynamics during a battery of non-social and social cognitive tests, I aim to deliver detailed information about neuronal activity and synchrony throughout the mPFC in during social cognition tests in WT and LgDel mice. This will provide insight into the micro-circuitry underlying changes to neurofunction and cognitio

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Effect of heat treatment on the properties of activated carbon' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content A large number of incidents due to auto-ignition happened in the last years during operation of acti vated carbon (AC) adsorbers. As these incidents may cause high expenses and mean a great threat to mankind because already adsorbed toxic substances as well as combustion products may be re leased to the environment, the industry encouraged an o investigation of the auto-ignition depending on the previous treatment of the ACs (productio storage, regeneration, ...) and the o measurement of effective heat conduction coefficients of ACs. In order to meet the targetMthe project will cover measurements of the reactivity of AC made of dif- ferent raw materials after different heat treatment and at various storage conditions,>as well as th measurement of heat conduction coefficients of these ACs. Additionally computer simulations wil be carried out in order to investigate the influence of the change of reactivity and/or heat conductiv ity on the auto-ignition tendency of beds of ACs. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) o Safe plant operation: Determination of safety relevant properties, connection between reactivity and treatment of activated carbons (AC), plant safety analysis based on properties of ACs and of the apparatus as well as on the operational conditions. o Mathematical modelling and computation methods: Use of the latest techniques and software. Both represent an optimal completation of the present tasks of the host institute. ; with industry / industrial relevance (22) The topics to be investigated came from industry The project is connected to QUESTOR which was founded by industry and Queens University Belfast The host institution has ongoing industrial collaboration on activated carbons via QUESTOR.
