user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Rapid Prototyping in Pressure Die Casting'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Rapid Prototyping is becoming a decisive factor in product development. Strict safety regulations usually increase the need for pre-production tests of components that have the same properties as the series product. The supplying networks of SMEs must be able to fulfil this need. For the production of prototypes and testseries of cast products leadtimes of 8-12 weeks are not unusual, which constitutes a major drawback. When a product is available as a 3D CAD model, a range of rapid modelmaking processes becomes available. It would be advantageous if these models could be used to produce short run dies for pressure die casting. It is the aim of this project to develop the technology that will enable the pressure die casting of small series of metal parts with a leadtime of less than 2 weeks starting from a 3D CAD model at a cost of approximately 10% of a production die and with quality specifications that come near products produced with normal steel production dies. Applying the pressure die casting process in short run and prototype production will enable European foundries to respond better to the challenge of the market of more different products and shorter development times.

user: Explain how 'Management of high sea fisheries' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The intergovernmental UN Conference on Highly Migratory and Straddling Stocks (1993-95) addressed the management of fishery resources found both within the coastal state 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the adjacent high seas. During the negotiation process, a number of suggestions were designed to solve the contradiction between the rights and duties of the coastal states and the distant water nations and to improve cooperation between fishing nations. A consensus was reached on that the management of straddling and highly migratory fish stocks is to be carried out through regional fisheries management organisationsResearch has been undertaken with regard to both parts.As regards part 1), management issues regarding straddling and highly migratory fish stocks have been reviewed. Preliminary analysis of some alternative cooperative management regimes has been undertaken.As regards part 2), models of population dynamics have been developed for both Norwegian spring spawning herring and Atlantic bluefin tuna. Furthermore, available cost, effort, harvest and revenue data have been collected, and preliminary estimations of cost and harvest functions have been undertaken.PUBLICATIONS:Arnason, R. (1997).

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Direct Video & Audio Content Search Engine' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The DIVAS proposal tackles the design and implementation of a multimedia search engine based on advanced direct video and audio search algorithms and efficient content representation in compact search databases. The driving force is to disjoint audio/video search from the availability of laboriously annotated metadata databases, while at the same time reducing significantly storage requirements and search time.<br/><br/> The developed algorithms will provide an alternative and complementary path to semantic metadata based audio/video content search. The proposed approach advocates the automatic extraction of content features (fingerprints), directly from the compressed content, thus greatly accelerating the fingerprint extraction phase as well as the search process.<br/><br/>  The search databases will comprise features that uniquely characterise compressed content, and will be rather compact and suitable for binary search techniques. The search engine will be applicable to a number of different use cases ranging from similarity" searches for audio/video web content, to information harvesting and data mining. Another interesting application is the development on "stream searchers" suitable for DRM resolution, advertisement time tracking etc. <br/><br/>The proposed improvements will ultimately lead to the introduction and seamless integration of audiovisual searching to ANY WEB search engine, and the location of video content ANYWHERE, irrespective of transformations and annotations, thus adding true multimedia search capability to ambient intelligence.  The project will deliver complete system architecture, a system level demonstrator (available through the web for user evaluation), studies and design methodologies for application integration."

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Intelligent materials for in-situ heart Valve tissue engineering' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In situ tissue engineering using a biodegradable synthetic scaffold that recruits endogenous cells from the bloodstream is emerging as a promising technology to create living heart valves inside the human body having the potential to last a life-time: one valve for life. Compared to classical tissue engineered heart valves this new technology demonstrates off-the-shelf availability at substantially reduced cost. The current proposal aims to further develop the synthetic biomaterials needed for the in situ tissue engineering of heart valves, to process these materials into a functional heart valve scaffold, and to perform all the necessary pre-clinical experiments to enable first-in-man clinical application. A novel approach to the biodegradable scaffold will be developed, that combines a relatively slowly degrading (months) elastomeric material with a fast degrading (weeks) bioactive hydrogel material.  These materials will be processed into a fibrous heart valve scaffold by means of electrospinning. The elastomeric material ensure long term functionality of the valve while supporting in-vivo mature tissue formation, while the fast eroding hydrogel material controls the early inflammatory response and creates the necessary void space between the elastomeric fibers. A minimally invasive, transapical, implantation technique will be used for the placement of the heart valve scaffold at the aortic position, following our recent results. For this purpose, tailor-made stents will be developed.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Aquatic-terrestrial linkages in Afrotropical lakes and rivers using stable hydrogen isotopes' (AQUAHYDRO) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Understanding ecological functioning of large aquatic ecosystems provides an essential framework for conservation and management of aquatic resources. The degree to which aquatic and terrestrial primary production fuel Afrotropical aquatic food webs remains poorly understood, since quantifying the relative contributions of these resources is methodologically challenging. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios have provided valuable insights regarding the contributions of terrestrial resources, but this approach has limitations in its resolving power. Recently, the promising use of stable hydrogen isotope ratios (δ2H) has gained attention to complement those ‘traditional’ isotopes for aquatic food webs due to their greater power of separation between aquatic and terrestrial subsidies. However, measurements of δ2H of complex organic materials have faced several methodological issues related to the isotopic H exchange and the effect of residual moisture in samples. This proposal will combine the expertise of applicant in H isotopes and the host group expertise in tropical aquatic biogeochemistry to link terrestrial inputs to invertebrate and fish productivity in the Congo River basin and Lake Edward to understand their ecosystem functioning, building on a large set of available samples (Congo River) as well as new fieldwork (L. Edward). The aims of this research are: to test new preparation systems to control H exchangeability and absorbed water for H isotope analysis; and to quantify to which extent aquatic communities in the Congo River basin and L. Edward depend on aquatic and terrestrial primary production using a multiple tracer approach during different hydrological conditions, and over different temporal scales (recent versus historical, using museum-archived spe

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Role of microglial phagocytosis in ischemic-hypoxic neuronal loss' (MIPHISNELO).

assistant: **Concept**

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory neurodegeneration occurs in most brain pathology, and may both protect and damage the brain. Inflammation in the brain is largely controlled by brain macrophages called microglia and when ischemia occurs microglia becomes activated in association with neuronal loss. AIMS: The aim of this project is to determine whether hypoxia-ischemia induces neuronal loss mediated by microglia and/or phagocytosis, and to test whether inhibition of phagocytosis blocks neuronal loss, leaving viable neurons. METHODS: We will use neurons co-cultured with astrocytes and/or microglia from neonatal rat or mouse brain. Co-cultures will be incubated in either excitotoxic or oxygen and glucose deprivation conditions of different durations to determine conditions in which maximal neuronal loss occurs without apparent cell death. Once we obtain such conditions, we will incubate cells with and without microglia to unravel whether this neuronal loss is induced by microglia and by or without contact with neurons (using transwells). Immunocytochemistry studies will determine neuron and microglia molecules involved in their interaction after hypoxia-ischemia. Video microscopy will be used to test whether neuronal loss is mediated by phagocytosis. Phagocytosis inhibition will be studied to determine whether it prevents neuronal loss. Neurons and/or microglia from MFG-E8 knockout mice and Mer kinase mutant rats will be used to further test the roles of phagocytosis and phagocytic signalling in ischemic neuronal loss. EXPECTED RESULTS: to unravel a new mode of neuronal death in hypoxia-ischemia conditions and to test for possible drug inhibitors to prevent such death.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The origin of the cosmic X-ray background: bridging observations with theory' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Since its discovery 40 years ago, the origin of the diffuse cosmic X-ray background radiation, that fills every direction on the Sky, remains a mystery.Despite significant progress in the field, recent surveys using the largest X-ray telescopes currently available, suggest large discrepancies between observations and model predictions with regards to the nature of the extragalactic populations responsible for the X-ray background.This proposal has the ambitious but realistic goal to bridge this gap using a wide-area medium-deep X-ray survey supplemented by an unprecedented set of multi-wavelength observations. This unique data-set will be exploited to provide detailed information on the nature and the cosmological evolution of the different extragalactic populations that make up the X-ray background.Such a detailed study is essential to understand the disagreement between recent observations and the models and to finally, after 40 years, resolve the origin of the diffuse X-ray radiation. The proposed re search will provide 1st class training to an experienced researcher on one of the most debated and high profile problems of observational cosmology.This project will therefore, not only address a 40-year old issue but will also provide additional expertise, both observational and theoretical, to the applicant, boosting his career toward professional independence, maturity and competitiveness.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Self-disinfecting, smart microfilms for healthcare & community acquired infections' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The transmission of pathogens from contaminated surfaces to humans is a major threat for the public health as it is associated withHealthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) and Community Acquired Infections (CAIs). Maintaining surfaces clean from pathogens is anundisputable requirement but, at the same time, a laborious, manual, costly process that requires use of harmful chemicals. Wepropose the development of a novel microfilm, the iSafeTouch (iST) microfilm, that provides a heat shock tothe pathogens on its surface, killing them instantly. Core element of the iST technology is the successful integration of heaters and touch sensors on flexible substrates. The proposed novel integration scheme, based on a scalable microfabrication process, is critical for achieving high performance and robust operation. We will microfabricate the iST microfilms and demonstrate that they are efficient in killing different pathogens in vitro and they are safe to use. Subsequently, we will develop two Proofs of Concept: a smart, wireless, door handle and a smart, wireless, light switch that integrate the iST microfilms. A mobile application will be developed for monitoring multiple iST units remotely. We will install the iST Proofs of Concept in a hospital and in a senior care facility and verify their antimicrobial activity at real-world conditions. Those two pilot studies will provide information about the acceptability of the technology by the end-users and will confirm that iST microfilm technology does not interference with current practices. The potentially low manufacturing cost, the minimum maintenance requirement by the user and the eco-friendlness of the iST microfilms, makes iST technology an ideal solution for use in any high touch, prone-to-contamination surface.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Strongly Coupled Gauge Theories at Finite Density' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

We propose to study strongly coupled gauge theories at finite density by utilizing holography. This is important and interesting because the holographic techniques are powerful and efficient tools to investigate into the areas of gauge theories which have previously been not possible. Non-abelian gauge theories, such as QCD, at low energy is notoriously difficult to examine analytically because the interaction becomes strong and the best hope of the present is the numerical lattice studies. However, the theories at finite density is currently not accessible even by lattice simulations due to technical problems. Therefore, the properties of QCD at observationally relevant density are largely unknown. The holographic techniques allow us to investigate into such regimes of the gauge theories and the consequences have extensive impact from nuclear physics to condensed matter physics. The members of the host institute and the researcher have just right complementary expertise and skills to undertake this project. Especially, one of the frame works proposed is initiated by the host scientist in charge and thus successful execution of the proposal would certainly result in the mutual benefit and contribute to the European scientific excellence and competitiveness.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Energy Efficient Manufacturing Process of Engineering Materials' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the project to develop and implement at pilot plant scale a novel field assisted sintering technology. The secuential application of two different technologies will be used: Electrical Discharge Compaction (EDC) and Electrical Resistance Sintering (ERS). The technology will be studied at fundamental level and a pilot plant scale equipment will be designed and built.Higher performances metallic composites (based on hard metals: WC-Co) and engineering metallic materials will be processed using this technology. The use of this new technology will shorten notably the processing time and will produce materials with enhanced properties (hardness, toughness and lifetime), mainly due to the novel microstructures that will be obtained. In addition, the use of this process will bring significant energy consumption reduction in the sintering process.The substitution of WC-Co for certain applications will also be investigated, reducing the health risks associated to WC-Co and eliminating the use of scarce materials such as W and Co.Tools for machining operations will be produced using this new technology. Two types of parts will be machined: one for aerospace sector (made of Ti based materials or/and Carbon fibre composite) and the other for automotive sector (made of Fe based materials).Last but not least, the implementation cost of this new technology is expected to be in the same range or even at lower level than the current industrial processes.
