user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Next generation, Cost-effective, Compact, Multifunctional Web Enabled Ocean Sensor Systems Empowering Marine, Maritime and Fisheries Management' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

As stated by the marine research decision makers in Europe in the “Ostend Declaration” in 2010, a major challenge is to support the development of a truly integrated and sustainably funded European Ocean Observing System. This will be achieved with more long-term measurements of key parameters but is impaired by the costs and lack of reliability of ocean sensors in general. The NeXOS project aims to improve the temporal and spatial coverage, resolution and quality of marine observations through the development of cost-efficient innovative and interoperable in-situ sensors deployable from multiple platforms, and Web Services for key domains and applications. This will be achieved through the development of new, low-cost, compact and integrated sensors with multiple functionalities including the measurement of key parameters useful to a number of objectives, ranging from more precise monitoring and modelling of the marine environment to an improved assessment of fisheries. Seven new compact, cost-efficient sensors will be developed, based on optical and acoustics technologies, addressing a majority of descriptors identified by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive for Good Environmental Status.  Two of the new sensors will specifically contribute to the Common Fisheries Policy with variables relevant for an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries. All new sensors will respond to multiplatform integration, sensor and data interoperability, quality assurance and reliability requirements. These will be specified for each new sensor system. All new sensors will be calibrated, integrated on several types of platforms, scientifically validated and demonstrated. One of the main objectives of NeXOS will finally be to enhance the competitiveness of European SMEs in the ocean sensor mark

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'BALancing Craton thickness by self-cOmpression, graiN size evolution and viscous anisotropY' (Balcony), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Cratons, the oldest lithosphere on Earth, have survived for more than 3 billion years due to their neutral buoyancy, high viscosity, and thickness. The geologic record shows that, in the presence of external agents (e.g., mantle plume eruptions), most cratons have experienced partial destruction (e.g., Slave craton). Yet, cratons have retained their 200-300 km thickness more or less to the present-day. We hypothesize that a newly-identified self-compressive mechanism causes them to slowly but continuously regrow with time, promoting re-cratonization. Convective self-compression results from the diversion of mantle flow beneath thick and viscous cratonic roots, and is clearly observed and analysed in our recent numerical models. There may be temporary periods of imbalance if craton destruction is relatively new and self-compression has not had enough time to act (e.g., North China craton). Over time, self-compressive thickening may be balanced by increased shearing at the base of cratons due viscous anisotropy and grain size-dependent weakening. In this MSCA project BALCONY, I will use numerical models of cratons sitting above a convecting mantle to investigate how craton thickness may be maintained for billion years by the self-compression mechanism, despite destabilizing events and continuous erosion from below.My objectives are to develop time-dependent numerical models to investigate (1) the effect of self-compression on craton re-thickening, (2) the importance of viscous anisotropy and grain size evolution for craton thinning, and finally (3) the balance between thickening and thinning, which ultimately determines the long-term thickness of cratons.The project is a perfect overlap between the research interests of the supervisors (Clint Conrad, Agnes Kiraly at the U

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Universality in Condensed Matter and Statistical Mechanics' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Universality is a central concept in several branches of mathematics and physics. In the broad context of statistical mechanics and condensed matter, it refers to the independence of certain key observables from the microscopic details of the system. Remarkable examples of this phenomenon are: the universality of the scaling theory at a second order phase transition, at a quantum critical point, or in a phase with broken continuous symmetry; the quantization of the conductivity in interacting or disordered quantum many-body systems; the equivalence between bulk and edge transport coefficients. Notwithstanding the striking evidence for the validity of the universality hypothesis in these and many other settings, a fundamental understanding of these phenomena is still lacking, particularly in the case of interacting systems. This project will investigate several key problems, representative of different instances of universality. It will develop along three inter-connected research lines: scaling limits in Ising and dimer models, quantum transport in interacting Fermi systems, continuous symmetry breaking in spin systems and in models for pattern formation or nematic order. Progresses on these problems will come from an effective combination of the complementary techniques that are currently used in the mathematical theory of universality, such as: constructive renormalization group, reflection positivity, functional inequalities, discrete harmonic analysis, rigidity estimates. We will pay particular attention to the study of some poorly understood aspects of the theory, such as the role of boundary corrections, the loss of translational invariance in multiscale analysis, and the phenomenon of continuous non-abelian symmetry breaking. The final goal of the project is the

The MAP project will develop a system supporting civil servants while they interact with citizens; it is a front-end e-assistance system. Special software agents will listen to the interaction in real-time, using advanced speech-recognition technologies, to identify the topics discussed. An expert system will select from the knowledge base of the administration the most pertinent information; then MAP will proactively propose it to the civil servant. The system will assist the interaction with the citizens in a seamless way, whenever they contact the administration: while on the move, on the net, face-to-face, etc. The knowledge base will be enriched constantly updating the information that circulates on the public administration Intranet and legacy system, building a best practice repertoire, both gathered while monitoring the service activities and suggested as tips or shortcuts directly by the civil servants. A Service Manager responsible will authorize each tip to be part of the repertoire. MAP will introduce three kinds of innovations: Business Process, Technical Solution, relationship Management. The project will carry out in-depth tests of the system functionalities, in challenging pilot sites that will involve relevant administrations in France and in Italy, at a national, regional and local level.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'STRATEGIES DE CONTROLE EN FERME DES COMPTAGES DE CELLULES SOMATIQUES DU LAIT DE BREBIS ET DE CHEVRE' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Background :At the present time, the use of somatic cell counts (SCC) as an index of udder health is neither generalized nor standardized in small ruminants, as it is in cattle. Although SCC represents the best indicator of the health status of the mammary gland in sheep and goats, there is a need to complete the currently ongoing studies in order to establish the individual operational leves of SCC. It is indispensable -according to the conclusions of some relevant international symposia- to establish an intervention strategy at farm level, based on herds SCC indexes. Furthermore, the EU regulation on sheep and goat milk foresees the establishment of specific norms regarding SCC that will enter into force on January 1998. This requires a solid scientific background in this field which is not yet available. The objective is : The objectives of this prenormative proposal are to standardize the SCC parameters in sheep and goat milk in three different mediterranean countries with a view to improving both animal health and the quality of milk for typical cheese production. Individual and bulk milk thresholds would be established and the non-infectious factors of SCC variation would be explored. SCC surveillance programs of flocks/herds specific to small ruminants will be elaborated and validated as well. The relationship between SCC and production losses, cheese yield and milk product quality would be studied. Finally, preliminary studies concerning the genetic improvement of resistance to mastitis are planned.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'A portable easy to use non-destructive system for the assessment of concrete repair' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

A Profit based Decision Analysis (PDA) has been made of the CRAFT project 'A portable easy to use system for the assessment of concrete repair'. For the analysis the KEMA RDA Excel Macro PDAMAC.XLS has been used. The first year of analysis is calendar year 1999. The objective of a PDA is the estimation of 'Commercial Value' and 'Probability of Technical Success' to support the decision to start or continue a project. As a first step a Business Model is built together with the project leader and other experts. This model simulates the influence of the important project variables on 'Commercial Value' and 'Probability of Technicai Success'. Building the model and analysing its results also lead to a clearly structured and defined project. The objective of the project is 'To develop a prototype scanner for the assessment of concrete repair to be used by concrete repair companies'. The improvements covered by this PDA are: a reduction of the inspection costs (increased productivity, Base Case NPV = 8.5 M ECU); a reduction of the fraction of concrete repair that needs to be repaired again (increased quality and reliability, Base Case NPV = 2.6 M ECU). In the PDA the 'Discount Factor' has a base value of 5%. This factor has been used to calculate the 'Net Present Value' of R&D Investments and Values in Time. The results are: CRAFT PROJECT Concrete repair Scanner : R & D Investment : M- ECU 0.77 Probability Technical Success : fraction 0.78 Mean Value given Technical Success : M- ECU 9.34 10%- Value given Technical Success : M- ECU 3.73 90%- Value guven Technical Success : M- ECU 16.22 Profit Indicator using Mean Value : factor 9.5 The 'Profit Indicator using Mean Value' of the project has the value of 8.8. it indicates an expected return of 8.8 ECU for every ECU invested.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Energy Efficient Coil Coating Process'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Coil coating is an important industrial process applied in a major part of industrial steel and metal alloy production and associated with big facilities and large primary energy consumption. A major part of the overall plant size and the energy demand of coil coating facilities is associated with the drying/curing process that occur inside a curing oven, which is the bottleneck concerning the increase of the production capacity. In this drying/curing process, organic solvents are vaporized from the applied liquid coating film and since they are flammable, the usually applied curing ovens with convective air drying technology have to be operated far below the Low Explosive Limit (LEL), due to safety constraints. ECCO proposes a novel solution for the curing oven operation, which can not only drastically increase the compactness and energetic efficiency of the system, but leads to an increased production flexibility due to a fuel-flexible, modular and potentially energetically self-sustainable process. The main idea is to heat the metal strip by IR-radiation and operate the curing oven well above the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL), thus, performing the drying and curing process in an atmosphere mainly consisting of the solvent vapours, which are used as fuel in IR radiant porous burners. This solution leads to a size/ production capacity ratio reduction of 70% and a reduction of investment and operating costs of at least 40% each. Starting from previous activities at TRL 4, an interdisciplinary approach is foreseen, based on advanced-materials, combustion technology and prediction tools for system design/optimization, with active participation of key industrial stakeholders, to bring this technology to TRL 6 and realize a prototype furnace at industrially relevant size and

user: Describe how 'ModeRN Approach to ocular disease treatment - Smart lipid-based nanoparticle systems for the delivery of mRNA to the ocular tissues' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Many severe ocular diseases lead to visual impairment and blindness in millions of patients worldwide, and the number is rapidly growing in aging populations. Most ocular diseases are still without drug treatment and the current treatments are based on the use of small molecules and protein drugs. However, poor ocular absorption and rapid elimination restrict their development and use in ophthalmology.Technology for mRNA transfer into the cornea and retina and subsequent expression of encoded proteins may open widely applicable possibilities for the treatment of ocular diseases (e.g. various retinal degenerations, uveitis) as topical eye drops or intravitreal injections. However, clinical application of mRNAs is limited by their poor in vivo stability and low cellular entry. Therefore, efficient and safe delivery systems for ocular mRNA transfer are urgently needed.Our research program aims to develop lipid-based nanoparticle (LNP) systems that are specifically tailored for mRNA delivery into the corneal, conjunctival and retinal cells. The project will address the critical anatomical and physiological barriers of ocular mRNA delivery topically and intravitreally. Chemical structure and composition of LNPs will be carefully modified to optimize mRNA delivery across ocular barriers. Smart pH-sensitive LNPs with eye specific surface moieties will be used to target ocular cells and trigger mRNA release and cytosolic delivery. Moreover, eye drop formulations will be mucoadhesive, increasing precorneal residence time, whereas intravitreal injectables will be capable of permeating in the vitreous and inner limiting membrane into the retinal cells. The representative in vitro and ex vivo test models will be used to select the most promising LNPs for versatile animal experiment

user: Explain how 'Hydrogel/Polymersome-based Subunit Vaccines in the Fight Against COVID-19' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

In light of current events, developing new technologies for the fight against severe infectious diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a global health emergency. Despite the tremendous improvement of vaccine technologies, the design of potent, durable and safe vaccines displaying an ease of distribution and a reduced cost, remains a major technological challenge. This research project proposes to develop a novel biocompatible, injectable and scalable vaccine technology based on supramolecular hydrogels-containing polymersomes to enable a controlled local vaccine exposure for durable and broadly protective immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The platform will leverage supramolecular hydrogels as depot carriers for a sustained co-release of complex mixtures of immunomodulatory compounds comprising a typical vaccine and polymersomes to enhance the presentation of subunit antigens. Immunogenicity will be improved through potent immune stimulating-adjuvants mixtures, selected from a precise screening of vastly different molecules in terms of chemical nature and size, and a controlled multipresentation of antigens by fine-tuned antigen-grafted polymersomes. This highly innovative project will cover various disciplines ranging from chemistry, material science, to bioengineering, and will use new polymersomes and hydrogels constructs, vaccine technology and recently developed immunological assays. The proposal will be conducted in two internationally recognized leading teams in the field of drug delivery systems in Bordeaux University, France and Stanford University, USA. The international exposure and the outstanding scientific environment gained through the fellowship will be a key step for the independence and maturity of the
