user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Smart condition monitoring and prompt NDT assessment of large concrete bridge structures' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Today pre-stressed concrete bridges represent well over 50 percent of all bridges built. This increase has resulted from advancements in design and analysis procedures and materials, however the life of a concrete structure is still dependant on corrosion of the many internal steel reinforcements. As above, there appears to be a complete lack of appropriate international standards or specific regulations dealing with the Ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete and reinforced concrete bridge structures. NDT methods for concrete structures consist of Impact hammer echo, ultrasonic velocity, radiography, Quantitative Acoustic Emission (QAE) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). However, they all provide limited information and require a high level of technical interpretation.Cross-It project will develop a new technology based on Ultrasonic Guided Waves, Automotive thermography and advanced GPR techniques to inspect the concrete structure for dangerous levels of age-related degradation, which could consist of cracks due to water ingress and corrosion of internal steel re-bars and reinforcement.The developed Guided Waves technology will be able to scan the concrete and display the results as a visual map on a connected laptop.  The laptop will run a purpose designed condition monitoring program based on advanced artificial Intelligence like a Neural Networks to match the ultrasonic patterns. Cross-it system could be also permanently installed to the bridge structure to enable a real time structural health monitoring system.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Formal Causation: Rivals and Extensions', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Causation is a basic feature of the structure of nature and thus in the centre of much research. Hitherto, however, the distinctive role and applicability of formal causation has been underappreciated. Formal causation is at play whenever a thing has a certain essential property because it is of a certain kind. E.g., that a particle has negative charge because it is an electron. Such kind-based explanations are ubiquitous across the sciences, and references to kinds are often indispensable. More controversially, such kind-based explanations point towards a specific variant of causation.  During Formal Causation I (funded by DFG), I developed a mature theory of formal causation that would justify its applicability to contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of science. (1) I reconstructed Aristotle’s account, especially the non-hylomorphic variant with fewer ontological commitments found in his Posterior Analytics. (2) I applied the account of formal causation to topics of contemporary interest. Especially, (i) developed the non-modal account of essence such that it is able to deal with exceptions, (ii) discovered that in a case of formal causation the form is a full immediate ground, (iii) defended an account of laws of nature.  Further work remains, both on the relation to possible rivals of formal causation, and on extensions. This project will investigate (1) Aristotle’s originally intended scope of the formal cause and his thoughts on the relations between the four causes distinguished by him; (2) the application of formal causation to occurrent entities like processes and events; (3) whether hylomorphic compounds can be thought of as mereological compounds of different parts, and if so what the relation to formal causation is; (4) whether formal causation should be

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Electro-optical polariton router' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

In this proposal we plan to bring to a development stage TRL 3 an electro-optical device working at room temperature and based on polaritons (an hybrid photon-exciton particle) made of 2D perovskites and of an optical surface mode in a Distributed Bragg Reflector waveguide. Such a device could lead to extremely compact and ultrafast electro-optical modulators that can be fully integrated in a microchip to allow for fast signal communications between each peripheral component of a processor. As a matter of fact one of the major bottlenecks in processing speed is caused by retardations and dissipations in the interconnections between the CPU and the memory elements as well as other interconnect functions. Conversion of the electrical signal into an optical one can allow for faster and more efficient processing. Our prototype can allow for switching and routing of guided optical beams via electrical signals using the intrinsic nonlinearities of the hybrid photon-exciton states.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Advanced MIMO Systems for Maximum Reliability and Performance' (MIMAX) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

MIMAX aims at developing of a pervasive, low-power consuming and low-cost MIMO network platform with reliable data-rate of up to 100 Mb/s in environments with strong multipath and coverage ranges up to several hundred meters. The current state-of-the-art performs the combining and processing of the complex antenna signal in the baseband. Since complete transmitter and receiver paths are required for each path, the resulting power consumption and costs of the conventional MIMO approach limit applications for ubiquitous networks. MIMAX significantly decreases the hardware complexity by applying a novel MIMO topology, which performs the complex weighting and combining of the antenna signals in the RF/LO front-end. The required front-end including phase and amplitude control elements will be implemented in low-cost BiCMOS technology. Novel topologies are applied to solve the challenges concerning phase and amplitude control accuracy, reliability and power consumption. Moreover, novel opportunistic MIMO approaches with single antenna path in the receiver and time-multiplexed signal combining will be studied. <br/>The platform will be implemented on basis of existing WLAN standards. Further goals of the project comprise the development of baseband signal processing and MIMO control units including MAC aspects, antenna arrays and smart MIMO algorithms. To verify the developments, reconfigurable demonstrator platforms will be designed and tested.<br/>MIMAX combines the complementary competences of 1 large research institution, 3 small and medium sized enterprises and 2 universities from 4 EU countries, and is managed by a team with profound experiences regarding EU projects.<br/>Supported by marketing studies, the involved industry partners will exploit the results for multimed

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'DEvelopment of a direct solAR heating System capable of covering a full-year thermal load UsiNg high temperature thermal storage' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Even in the sunniest regions of Europe, current solar heating systems for single houses or buildings are not yet able to provide their heating needs all year round based only on incoming solar radiation. The main reason for this is that thermal storage technologies are designed neither in size nor in insulation performances to allow for safe and reliable autonomous heating. Recently, EnerSun has shown promising results using pure glycol as the thermodynamic fluid and well insulated storage systems to meet such needs in several sunny regions of Europe. This is why a consortium of SMEs active in the solar heating business - SC Madi Service, Intex, Errece Laser, Austrian Consulting Engineers Group, Di Luzio Engineering, Azur Chauffage, Phönix Sonnenwärme.- have asked Enersun, Honeywell and AIMEN acting as RTD performers to validate the technical and economical potential of this new solar heating system. The project objective is to develop and to validate a prototype system in two years, reaching the industrial quality of current solar heating systems and the capability of pure glycol to work at temperatures near 160 °C. It will enable architects and heating system engineers to address i) new solar building design, ii) the retrofit of heating systems in existing buildings. The project is coordinated by CSTB, which brings extensive simulation capabilities of the storage tank hydrodynamic behaviour and the whole heating system. EnerSun, AIMEN and Honeywell bring the complementary industrial expertise to achieve the project goals. The project impacts the competitiveness of both the industrial partners and the RTD providers: the industrial partners will be given access to a very innovative solar heating system to address European market needs for CO2-free heating needs of build

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'EXTREME Dynamic Loading - Pushing the Boundaries of Aerospace Composite Material Structures' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The European industry is currently a world leader in aviation and to maintain its leading position and competitiveness in the dynamic global market, Europe’s industry must develop quickly and efficiently high quality products by meeting time-critical market demands and customers’ needs.  Industrial competition is becoming fiercer not only from established regions, such as the USA, but from new emerging challengers, such as Brazil, Canada, etc.Technological leadership and innovation is becoming the major competitive differentiator, most notably in terms of costs, and environmental performance. The market demands shorter cycles of new technology integration and, on the other hand, competitors enter the market with aggressive prices. It is forecasted that in 2050, innovative products and services demanded by the market will be based on state of the art design, manufacturing and certification processes with a significant reduction of the environmental impact. Recent studies have shown   that the development and deployment of new structural technologies will have the greatest impact in the reduction of weight and operational costs compared to other technologies. Against this background, composite materials technology is of fundamental importance to current and future aircraft structures where high specific properties and integration of multiple functionalities are essential to improve weight, fuel efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and certification costs. The vulnerability of composite structures to localised, dynamic, sudden, and unexpected loads, may result in unpredictable complex localized damage and a loss of post-impact residual strength. The aim of the EXTREME project is to develop novel material characterisation methods and in-situ measurement techniques, material mo

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Novel Upconversion Nanomaterials for Inorganic Photoactivated Chemotherapy' (UCNANOMAT4IPACT) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have outstanding optical and magnetic properties, which make them extremely suited for application in cancer phototherapy and imaging. They efficiently convert low energy near infrared (NIR) light to higher energies in the visible. The so-generated upconverted luminescence can be exploited to photoactive anticancer metal complexes, a promising class of compounds studied as novel photochemotherapy agents. UCNP-mediated NIR activation will allow overcoming metal complexes’ light absorption limitations, simultaneously achieving considerably higher tissue penetration and preserving photochemical reactivity. Indeed, the rich photochemistry of metal complexes can result in unique cell killing modes, critically important in the development of novel anticancer prodrugs.The project aims at investigating the use of UCNPs in the photoactivation of promising anticancer metal complexes, and more specifically at developing new nanomaterials where these two components are integrated to give a superior prodrug. Anchoring photoactive anticancer coordination compounds on UCNPs can produce materials with optimal photophysical and photochemical properties for chemotherapy. Moreover, the chemical versatility of UCNPs offers opportunity for functionalization with biological vectors, which improve biocompatibility, targeting and selectivity features of these integrated nanomaterials in cells and tissues. Remarkably, UCNPs are also excellent new candidates for multimodal (optical/MRI/PET) bioimaging. Their upconverted luminescence, magnetic resonance relaxivity and radioactivity (ease of 18F-labeling) will serve to visualize fundamental biological events with high spatial resolution, which are key to study the photoactive nanomaterials’ anticancer action as w

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'For cognitively-impaired or visually-impaired persons suffering from spatial disorientation, a smartphone-based navigation aid that is both reliable and safe for urban pedestrian mobility.'.

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of ANGEO2 is to develop an orientation aid that is both adapted and directly useful for persons suffering fromspatial disorientation, whether they be cognitively-impaired or visually-impaired persons. The product will provide easyaccess to urban areas and include multimodal guidance functions mixing walking with real time bus, tram and metro publictransportation information.ANGEO2 is an incremental innovation in the niche market of urban mobility for sufferers of visually-disorientation, epilepsy, Parkinson's and Huntington. Reliable information is the key to reassuring the user and therefore providing autonomous mobility. The need for these devices is getting stronger everyday, however the market for orientation aids has not yet taken off. Why is this? The reason is that the services offered up to now are simply not reliable enough in terms of continuous service availability and accurate guidance. The unique selling proposition of ANGEO2 is the full availability of reliable navigation information in difficult urban environments.A summary of the different types of product and service offerings from the business model is shown below:• ANGEO-Mobile kits running without a smartphone• ANGEO-Pos high performance positioning modules linked to a smartphone• ANGEO-Nav, freemium navigation software running on a smartphone• ANGEO-Help, a payable helpline using an externalised, remote-assistance platformFor a requested EU grant 713K€, an estimated 46 M€ of cumulated sales will create up to 80 jobs over a 5 year period. Anopen development platform for the European healthcare industry to create derivative offerings will also be made available.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'A nanophysics approach to synthetic cell division'.

assistant: **Concept**

Imagine building a living cell from basic components, a vesicle filled with biomolecules that can sustain itself and reproduce into similar offspring. Can this be done?This proposal addresses the most tantalizing aspect: synthetic cell division. We aim to build liposomes (lipid vesicles enclosing an aqueous solution with proteins and DNA) that can spontaneously divide through a contractile protein ring at the vesicle perimeter. To realize this, we employ an experimental biophysics approach that addresses both the actual division and the prerequisite spatial control, with:1. Cells in nanofabricated shapes. We will study cell-division proteins and DNA in live E.coli bacteria that are molded into user-defined arbitrary shapes and sizes. Clarifying the effects of cell shape will elucidate the guiding principles for the spatiotemporal organization of the cell-division machinery.2. Proteins and DNA in nanofabricated chambers. We will use a bottom up approach to study the basic divisome components in vitro exploiting the full control provided by nanochambers. This will resolve the spatial organization of the fascinating patterns of Min proteins and chromatin that dictate the localization of the division ring.3. Liposomes on chip. We will develop a chip-based technology to generate liposomes for exploring synthetic cell division. We will use both microfluidic constrictions and a biomimetic approach (encapsulation of divisome proteins such as FtsZ) to induce autonomous liposome splitting, thus enabling a simplified but tightly controlled form of synthetic cell division.To our knowledge, this nanofabrication-based approach to synthetic division is unique. We expect to be able to make important contributions to understanding cell division, and anticipate that on a 5-year scale we
