user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Eco-innovative maceration system based on LFHP ULTRAsound technology for WINEmaking' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

AGROVIN will put in the market ULTRAWINE, a low frequency high power (LFHP) ultrasound equipment designed for optimizing the extraction of phenolic compounds from grape skins during the first stages of winemaking. Our proposed innovation allows completing the grape maceration process in 6 hours while current systems take approximately 4 days, with 30 times less energy and the ability to process triple amount of grape. ULTRAWINE renders a high quality must with an intense colour and aroma, setting the adequate basis for an excellent wine.The general objective of ULTRAWINE is to put into the market a high performance equipment to assist the extraction of phenolic compounds in the grape peels based on low frequency high power (LFHP) ultrasound technology, in a period of 24 months, with the aim of selling an accumulated amount of 130 units by 2021.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The Symbolism of the Body in Northern Europe. Cognitive Metaphors and Old Norse Myth from the Viking Age to Late Medieval Times' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the proposed research is to investigate the integrative function of bodily metaphors within the Old Norse Literature and Culture. The research will span the culturally important transition from pre-Christian culture to the products of Christian literacy. Its starting point will be the mythic narratives connected with initiation and sacrifice, which have a foremost position in the pre-Christian religion and which are especially rich in the cognitive metaphors of the human body. These myths and rituals exerted an influence as a pattern or model for the whole society, and provide thus an excellent tool for the  understanding of its symbolic system and values. In the next step of the project the transition towards Christianity will be explored and assessed, especially its reevaluation of cognitive metaphors of the body, with the aim to map the transformations of symbolism on the borders of two cultural and religious systems. This endeavour will provide a completely new theory shedding new light on the production of meaning in culture and its reinterpretations. The research itself is to be naturally interdisciplinary, integrating religious studies, philology, cognitive linguistics, anthropology and folkloristics. My previous research prepared me for this task to a certain degree, but knowledge exchange is needed to bring it to a completion, especially consultations with scholars and experts in the field of Old Norse Studies. All this can be achieved by a 18 months research internship at the University in Bergen, which provides the best academic conditions for this project, supervised by prof. Jens Eike Schnall, and by a 6 month secondment in Reykjavík, at the University of Iceland and at the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies. This project will apply i

user: Explain how 'Infection detection in human semen' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Increasing reduced fertility of men is a globally growing problem. It remains unexplained in several cases. One possible reason, asymptotic anaerobe bacterial infection, which is hardly detectable by currently applied clinical practice. We developed an effective bacterial infection detection method for human semen. Our technology does not require cell culturing, makes possible direct sample analysis without pre-conditioning, and can detect anaerobic bacteria species without anaerobic sampling and processing. We aim to standardise our measurement protocol carry out a detailed clinical validation, to commercialise our technology for medical laboratory service providers and private andrology clinics. In this Phase 1 project we shall prepare for the clinical validation and make a comprehensive business plan to attract investors.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Expert system for failure analysis in high temperature plant' (1998-2002).

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the ESFA project is to develop a PC based expert system for failure analysis in high temperature plant. The system, in both text and pictorial format, will provide guidelines on diagnosis of failures and possible remedial measures at two levels: the basic level for plant engineer for on-site decisions, and more advanced level for long term solutions. ESFA will provide access to a library of case histories and high temperature plant components and materials, and, a catalogue of European plant experience and good engineering practices. In addition to increasing reliability of diagnosis. ESFA will reduce dependence of industry on the availability of experienced staff. ESFA will bring automation and efficiency to the failure analysis industry and harmonies interpretation of failures and remedial measures adopted across the national borders in Europe. ESFA is thus considered to be the first step towards standardisation of failure analysis practices in Europe.

user: Describe how 'Plasmon Resonance for IMproving the Absorption of solar cells' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The demand for affordable renewable energy is increasing steadily. Electricity generation by photovoltaic cells is one of the main players in this field, but is hampered by its still relatively high cost compared with other sources of energy. Within this project we investigate promising nanotechnology - based strategies to enhance the performance and/or reduce the cost of different solar cell technologies. Specifically we examine the use of metal nanostructures to enhance the optical absorption of light into different types of solar cells, including crystalline Si, high performance III-V, organic and dye-sensitized solar cells. The enhanced absorption can ultimately lead to thinner and therefore less expensive solar cells due to the use of less material. One of the remaining issues in this field, that of better physical insight in the possible plasmonic enhancement mechanisms, will be studied in detail using calculations and experiments on structures with different degrees of complexity. In parallel, we investigate the manufacturability of these nanostructures and the ease of integrating them into existing process flows for solar cells. This will allow us to examine industrially relevant structures, integrate them into solar cells and test their performance. The performance will be bench-marked and assessed by solar cell companies that are participating in the project. European science traditionally is a leader in both the fields of photovoltaics and nanoplasmonics and this project helps to maintain Europe's strong position. Moreover it provides the participating industrial partners with a competitive advantage, which should create employment and sustainable economic growth in Europe, while simultaneously contributing to a reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases.<

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Mobility Support Centre Macedonia' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the frame work of the implementation of the Mobility Strategy for the European Research Area and to improve the living and working conditions of mobile researchers in Europe, the European Commission has initiated the start-up funding for participation of Macedonia in the European Network of Mobility Centres-EURAXESS Services (hereafter EURAXESS Services Network). The Macedonian Ministry of Education and Science has recognized the above-mentioned initiative as a very important issue and appointed the working group to submit the proposal which aims at establishing the Macedonian Network of EURAXESS Services Centres (ESC). The Network will be constituted by the Bridgehead Organization (BHO) itself functioning as EURAXESS Services Centre and four additional EURAXESS Services Centres (ESC) located in each of the four State Universities in Macedonia, but also leaving the door open for private Universities to join the Network.  Obstacles to be overcome:    • Non-existence of mobility centre(s)  • Non-existence of a network of the mobility centres  Thus, identified is the necessity of establishing initial EURAXESS Services Centre (ESC) equivalent with the bridgehead organization (BHO) identified in the National Agency for European Educational Programs and Mobility of R. Macedonia and consequently four EURAXESS Services Centres (ESC) located in the four State Universities in Skopje, Bitola, Tetovo and Stip with the main purpose of:  - Encouraging more abundant international mobility of researchers;  - Removing obstacles to the mobility of the researchers and overall human resources in Europe - Enhancing the EU’s attractiveness for research talent - Offering researchers and their families (whether incoming from Europe and wider or outgoing from Macedonia), comprehensive and up

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'A proteomic screen to identify cytoplasmic DNA sensor proteins mediating type I Interferon production' (INNATEDNASENSOR).

assistant: **Innovation**

Detection of pathogens by the innate immune system depends on the recognition of microbial components by dedicated receptors. During viral and bacterial infections, pathogen-derived nucleic acids are recognized by innate receptors resulting in the production of type I IFNs and inflammatory cytokines. While it is established that cytoplasmic delivery of viral, bacterial and even host DNA triggers type I IFN production via a pathway depending on STING, TBK1, IKKe and IRF3, the identification of the upstream DNA-sensing molecule(s) remains a key issue to be elucidated. Some proteins (such as DAI and IFI16) have been proposed to play such a role, but available data indicate that additional receptor(s) must exist.The primary goal of the proposed project is to identify new cytoplasmic DNA-sensing proteins mediating type I IFN induction. First, we will identify interferon inducible DNA-binding proteins by combining a systematic proteomics screen for proteins that associate with DNA with a screen for transcripts induced by interferon beta. Using bioinformatic analysis of these datasets, we will then select candidate proteins to perform functional investigation on. The effect of shRNA-mediated silencing or overexpression of these proteins on DNA-induced IFN production will be evaluated. Promising proteins will be selected for detailed characterization. Importantly, our project could also reveal proteins that do not participate in the sensing, but in the effector responses against pathogens, thereby opening other interesting research directions.In addition to the relevance for antiviral and antibacterial immunity, a better understanding of DNA sensing pathways may have broader implications as for example DNA-induced IFN contributes to the immunogenicity of plasmid-based vaccines.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Blackness Imagery in the Construction of European Identity/ies: The Case of the Czech Lands in a Transnational Perspective' (BlackCzech).

assistant: **Concept**

This project conceives (self-)Africanisation as a rhetorical strategy of symbolic exclusion of the “other”, despite being European, from Europe by either the voluntary assumption or the imposed ascription of a surrogate identity. Starting from the hypothesis that the cultural, artistic and scientific output of a “non-colonial” nation can also be considered as a form of colonial discourse, this project seeks to  examine Blackness imagery in Czech-German and Czech-French cultural relations and transfers. Focusing on the “long” nineteenth century (extended until the early 1930s), the research spans five interconnected axes: (1) the “scientific” constructions of Black and “mixed-race” alterity in the Czech lands; (2) translating literature with “colonial” topics for the Czech lands; (3) Black and “mixed-race” representations in Czech literature; (4) Black are the “others” – the ascription of surrogate identity in German and French literature; and (5) the instrumentalization of Blackness imagery in cultural‑political struggles. Drawing on the methodology of literary history, comparative literature and translation studies, the project will analyse translations of French literature and academic, literary and mediatic discourses in the Czech lands and mutual representations of Czechs and Germans as “black”. The interdisciplinary approach, which includes postcolonial studies, discourse analysis, comparative historical linguistics and insights of anthropology, will shed light on the mixophobic framework of racial naming, notably in its gendered and intersectional dimensions. The transnational scope of this topical project, the commitment to open science practices as well as the hosting arrangements aimed at developing a diversified research profile, including transferable skills

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Development of the circuits in the locust brain for the early detection and avoidance of looming objects' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Looming detection is crucial for animals to efficiently respond to approaching stimuli. Extensive research has been done to characterise and understand the neural circuits underlying such capacity. The locust has been established as a preferred model because it has a pair of large and uniquely identified visual neurons, the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) and the postsynaptic descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD) that respond selectively to the images of an object approaching towards its eye. These neurons have been associated with the triggering of last moment avoidance responses such as gliding dives during flight. So far, all studies have used adult locusts. However these animals avoid predation by birds throughout their lives and the preferred escape response varies during development. Juvenile locusts display escape behaviours on the ground, such as hiding and jumping, that require more time than emergency dives and therefore are triggered early in the loom. DCMD may have a role in guiding these early reactions as it starts responding long before collision. However there have been no attempts yet to record from the DCMD during hiding. The present research aims at characterising the visual cues that produce the hiding response in the adult and studying the possible involvement of the LGMD and DCMD neurons in such behaviour. It also intends to quantify the behavioural strategies displayed at different stages of the locust’s life, relating them to the development of the neural circuit involved in looming detection. For this study we will use electrophysiological recordings in juvenile and adult locusts. We will also study the ultrastructure and synaptic connections during development, and relate it to what is already known in the adult. This may lead

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'ELASTOMER COATED PROSTHESIS' (ECP).

assistant: **Concept**

A new fixation system for the femoral component of total hip prostheses has been developed by the University of Leuven. The new system combines advantages of cemented and cementless fixation systems while avoiding most of the drawbacks, and it can also be used for other skeletal implants such as total knee replacemnts or tooth implants. An exploratory trial has demonstrated the technical feasibility. The prosthesis now has to be tested in a large scale clinical trial.
