user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The demography of skills and beliefs in Europe with a focus on cohort change' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The central research theme of this proposal is the study of social change (skills, productivity, attitudes and beliefs) in Europe along cohort lines and as a function of changing age composition. Using demographic methods, age-specific and cohort-specific changes shall be quantitatively disentangled. The impact of migration flows as well as fertility differentials combined with intergenerational transmissions will be taken into account. It is expected that viewed together, these analyses will result in significant new insights and represent frontier research about likely social and economic challenges associated with ageing and demographic change in Europe and the appropriate policies for coping with them. Unlike projections of long-term economic growth or energy use, demographic forecasts tend to have comparatively low margins of error, even for forecasts half a century ahead. Traits that change systematically along age or cohort lines may therefore be projected with some degree of accuracy, which in turn can allow governments and individuals to better foresee and improve policies for predictable social change. The study will investigate two major topics, the first relating to human capital, skills, and work performance; the second relating to beliefs and attitudes in Europe. Understanding age variation in productivity and how to improve senior workers skills and capacities are paramount for ageing countries. Moreover, individual-level demographic behaviour can have aggregate level implications, including changing societal values and belief structures. The binding element is how such projections will improve one s capacity to foresee and hence develop more targeted policies that relate to ageing societies.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Transciptional activation in response to interferons' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Research objectives and content The studies of transcriptional activation in response to interferons have uncovered a novel signal transduction pathway from cell surface receptors to the nucleus. The intracellular signalling events are mediated by two novel families of effectors: the JAK family of tyrosine kinases and the STAT family of transcription factors. The JAK/ STAT pathway was found to be activated by a wide range of cytokines and growth factors. The ubiquitous participation of JAKs and STATs in cytokine and growth factor signalling strongly implies that variants of the proteins and differences in their celluar production levels are associated with diseases or with improved disease resistance. Genomic and cDNA clones of various JAK and STAT proteins of farm animal species (swine, cattle, sheep, rabbit) will be cloned and automatically sequenced. The JAK and STAT clones of farm animal species will be functionally assayed with respect to their ability to genetically complement human cell lines defective in the JAK or STAT proteins. The sequence information obtained will be used to screen these species for polymorphisms in the coding region of the genes as well as in the 5` and 3` regulatory sequences and to isolate JAK/ STAT variants. This will give insight in the evolutionary conservation of these proteins and will help to identify domains wich are important for structure/ function. In addition the data will used to assess the potential impact of JAK/ STAT variants on health traits of farm animals. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The training content will include basic molecular genetic techniques. In addition I will gain experience in the handling and and programming of an automated laboratory workstation and of various automated sequen

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Flexible Bayesian Non-Parametric Priors' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The use of Bayesian non-parametric (BNP) priors in applied statistical modeling has become increasingly popular in the last few years. From the seminal paper of Ferguson  (1973, Annals of Statistics), the Dirichlet Process and its extensions have been increasingly used to address inferential problems in many fields. Examples range from variable selection in genetics to linguistics, psychology, human learning , image segmentation and applications to neurosciences. The increased interest in non-parametric Bayesian approaches to data analysis is motivated by a number of attractive inferential properties. For example, BNP priors are often used as flexible models to describe the heterogeneity of the population of interest, as they implicitly induce a clustering of the observations into homogeneous groups.In the big data era, there is a growing need of models that can describe the main features of large and non-trivial datasets. The information held in these kind of datasets is increasingly easily available to collect through modern networks such as the Internet. This proposal wants to provide flexible priors for explaining such datasets, in particular two research lines will be developed:1. Non-exchangeable BNP priors for modelling the heterogeneity of the data,2. Vectors of Dependent BNP priors for modelling information pooling across units.The successful completion of this research will provide new powerful statistics tools for the analysis of complicated phenomena. New BNP priors will be proposed as well as the application of some recent BNP priors proposed by the principal investigator (Leisen and Lijoi, 2011 Journal of Multivariate Analysis and Leisen, Lijoi and Spanò, 2013 Electronic Journal of Statistics). Specifically, applications of such priors will be developed in

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Managing local and global externalities from growth' (EXTGROW).

assistant: **Concept**

The burden of local and global externalities from growth - such as pollution, congestion and climate change - falls mainly on the poorest across and within countries. EXTGROW will break new ground by offering novel insights into the magnitude and distribution of key externalities in low income countries, and the design of policies that balance the dual imperatives of shielding vulnerable populations and continued growth. It is distinctive in five ways: (1) georeferenced data from innovative sources; (2) frontier spatial equilibrium modelling and econometric methods; (3) aggregate effects of externalities at scale; (4) informing transport, trade and social protection policy design; (5) focus on inequality.The proposed research comprises six projects across two themes which consider respectively the management of local and global externalities. The first theme considers how local externalities alter assessments of the aggregate and distributional impacts of trade facilitation, which is key for the design of transport and trade policies. The first project will examine how traffic pollution in Pakistan influences estimates of the gains from road building. The second assesses whether banning trade in waste products improves welfare when externalities from disposal are heterogeneous across space. The third estimates the impacts of public transit in Tanzania for alleviating congestion costs across income groups. The second theme studies how vulnerable populations respond to the global externalities from climate change and how policy can support these adaptive adjustments. The fourth project will draw on the rollout of a big-push anti-poverty program in Bangladesh to understand whether it can shield beneficiaries from climate shocks. The fifth studies how targeting of public ad

user: Describe how 'Genomics, epigenomics and transcriptomics of Yakutian horses, a unique domestic breed adapted to life in the Arctic' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Yakutia (Sakha Republic, Russian Federation) is the coldest country in the Northern hemisphere with winter record temperatures as low as -70ºC. Despite such extreme conditions, the Yakut people succeeded in developing an economy based on extensive horse and cattle breeding. In contrast to cattle, that are parked in stables at winter, horses do not receive much human care, living all the year in the open air and grazing on vegetation that is under deep snow cover for 7-8 months. Unsurprisingly, Yakutian horses developed amazing adaptations to life in the cold Arctic, including exceptional hair densities for domestic horses and spectacular capacities for regulating their metabolism. The origin of Yakutian horses is controversial. In the YAKUT project, we will use cutting-edge genomic tools including genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics, together with state-of-the-art methods in ancient DNA research, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Yakutian horses from its mysterious origins to its adaptation to life in the Arctic. Our extensive genomic dataset will provide essential information to foster efforts for developing sound management strategies to preserve this unique genetic heritage. Following seasonal gene expression levels and associated epigenetic modifications at the whole genome scale, we will reveal for the first time the mechanisms responsible for the exceptional metabolic adaptations found in Yakutian horses. Overall, the YAKUT project aims at understanding the process of natural selection underlying the adaptation of a domestic breed to life in an extreme environment.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Silica aerogel highly resistant to extreme temperatures made from rice husk ashes' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

EcoAerogel is the result of 15 years of R&D by NAM, an Italian SME specialised in nanoparticles, alongside with the University of Pavia. It consists of a High-Tec insulation material, an enhanced and ecological silica-aerogel, that outmatches current aerogels thanks to unprecedented combination of properties without any blending: fire and high temperature resistance (up to 1000°C, i.e. 350°C more than the rest), lowest density known in a solid (0.05 g/cm3), and one of the lowest thermal conductivity (0.021 w/m·K). Additional but not less relevant distinguishing features are its resistivity to cold (-200°C), and the “ecological and safe” nature: it is synthetized from an endless source of raw material, rice husk ashes (a waste of rice cultivation), and it is 100% recoverable after service life (cradle to cradle approach), thus increasing eligibility of manufacturers towards companies with severe Supply Chain Management requirements. The aerogel industrial equipment segment market (with 15-25% energy losses from inefficient insulation), is the target for the wide potential range of EcoAerogel’s High-Tech products. This market worth €152 million (2014) and is forecasted to grow 24% to 2019. Both huge market volume and vertiginous increase, alongside with EcoAerogel unique resistivity to extreme temperatures, opens a clear business opportunity for our Company, the sole European aerogel developer in the world, despite its two North American big competitors, CABOT and ASPEN. Sectors to be first addressed are High Thermal Insulation (HTI) and Refrigeration specialty applications, particularly industrial refrigeration doors, anti-fire products, and thermal wear. We are already collaborating with 3 Companies (MTH, AF Systems, and Thermore) in EcoAerogel prototype effectivity tri

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Beyond ""the West"" and ""the East"": Occidentalism, Orientalism, and Self-Orientalism in Italy-Japan Relations""' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Since the 1990s, Japan has become the most popular “eastern” country in Italy, while, on the other hand, Italy has turned into the most attractive “western” country in Japan, especially among women and youth.This research project will investigate the reasons of this reciprocal popularity by focusing on mutual discourses and practices regarding “Japan” and “the East” in Italy, and regarding “Italy” and the “West” in Japan, respectively. It will analyse the most influential intersections of Japan-Italy relations from the late nineteenth century to the present, in relation to issues of national/regional/global identity, culture, and power. In order to map the imagined geography of “Japan“ and “Italy“ as seen from both sides, historical investigation will be conducted on the genealogy (1860s-1890s), climax (1930s-1940s), and maturation (1960s-1980s) of modern Italy-Japan relations. This will be followed by an ethnographic investigation of the social practices involved in the present popularity of “J-culture“ (animation, comics, videogames) in Italy, and of the “Italy boom“ (food, fashion, life-style) in Japan. Particular attention will be paid to the renegotiation between new transcultural identity processes on the local level and institutionalised nation-branding of the “Cool Japan“ and of the “Made in Italy” in the globalised market.The inter-disciplinary perspective adopted by this study is aimed at contributing to critical enquiry into the notions of “the West” (Occidentalism) and of “the East” (Orientalism). It will focus on the interrelational, intersectional, and complicit dynamics of mutual perceptions seen in Italy-Japan relations. The final scope is to elaborate an interrelational theory of Occidentalism, Orientalism, and Self-Orientalism, as well as to attest the

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'State-of-the-art simulations of quantum many-body systems with the next-generation tensor network algorithms' (NexGenTeN) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

One of the biggest and most relevant challenges in physics is the accurate study of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, which give rise to very remarkable phenomena like high-Tc superconductivity (HTSC), quantum spin liquids with topological order, and other novel phases of matter. Understanding these systems is the key to designing new materials and quantum devices for future groundbreaking technologies. In recent years enormous progress in the study of these systems has been achieved with two-dimensional tensor network algorithms, which can be seen as a generalization of the powerful density-matrix renormalization group method to higher dimensions. While already the current algorithms are very powerful and outperform other state-of-the-art approaches, the development of new algorithms with a higher accuracy and broader application range is crucial to enable to solve the most pressing open problems.Building upon my previous breakthroughs in this field, I will develop the next generation of tensor network algorithms, including novel powerful methods for ground states, time evolution, spectral functions, finite temperature, open systems, and multi-scale approaches. I will use them for groundbreaking simulations of relevant open problems in several fields with unprecedented accuracy. Major milestones include (1) simulations of realistic models of cuprate materials in order to shed new light on the pseudogap phase and pairing mechanism in HTSC, (2) cutting-edge simulations of frustrated materials to reveal the nature of excitations and thermodynamic properties of quantum spin liquids and other challenging states, and (3) predictions of novel states of matter in SU(N) and open quantum systems which can be realized in experimental quantum simulators.
