user: Describe how 'Innovative Welding Processes for New Rail Infrastructures' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

WRIST will develop and demonstrate flexible and cost effective joining processes for rail products, and in particular for advanced bainitic rail steels, which have been developed to answer the increasing demands of increasing speed and growth of railway’s load. This will be delivered by the combined development of the joining processes itself, welding experiments, computational modelling, material and joint characterisation and testing, using laboratory tests and full-scale field testing in industrial or commercial test tracks. The project will offer a step change in the joint performance and reliability providing an extended in-service life for a range of rail materials, therefore resulting in a significant cost reduction in maintenance of the track, also freeing up more capacity for rail traffic.New variants of the aluminothermic and orbital friction welding processes will be developed, which will both reduce the width of the heat affected zone and minimise the loss of mechanical properties in the weld zone. These innovations will enable the use of bainitic rail steels which will deliver an increased reliability, a longer lifetime of the rails and welds combined with a reduction of the maintenance cost.The project addresses the specific call topics by:- Development and application of advanced joining technologies, able to join conventional and bainitic rail steels with a higher quality and reliability, to meet the more stringent infrastructure requirements imposed by increased speed and load, resulting in less maintenance and a longer track lifetime.- Reduction of maintenance cost and life cycle cost of the rail and welds, due to less repair welding associated with a higher weld quality and the longer track lifetime.- Increased availability of the track; less unforese

user: Describe how 'new eXplainable models that allow the user to Interact with them to benefit Digital Heritage Image Restoration' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Digital heritage are computer-based materials of enduring value that should be kept for future generations, for example photographs and videos. As an asset of our times, historical photographs and videos can greatly benefit from digital restoration techniques, from colorization or color enhancement to the removal of scratches or other artefacts. In this project, we focus on two cases for digital heritage restoration: colorization and color image enhancement of old photographs and videos. Historically, image enhancement methods were rooted in tailor-made priors using well-understood physics and/or statistical models. Now, deep learning approaches leverage large amounts of data to train generative models that can hallucinate on the generated images. However, the useful versatility of deep learning approaches faces two main problems: (a) Deep models are black boxes whose inner behaviors are difficult to interpret, which is an important drawback when assessing their reliability, studying failure cases, and improving their robustness. This hinders their direct adoption in the digital heritage restoration process. Thus, explainability is a highly desirable characteristic for image enhancement models. (b) Image enhancement problems are ill-conditioned, especially for digital heritage photos (e.g., there are many plausible colorizations of a grayscale image). Yet, users rarely have a say in the process of enhancement with deep models, which is typically decided by the model based on statistical decisions. Thus, physically plausible or realistic solutions should be favored, as well as allowing the end user to explore and guide the algorithm towards the intended solution. In this project, we propose to confront the ill-posed nature of image enhancement problems by a comprehensive

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal has been developed by St John's Innovation Centre Ltd, Cambridge and the East of England Development Agency (EEDA). We propose to continue the operation of an Innovation Relay Centre for the East of England (EEIRC) based at, and hosted by St John's Innovation Centre (SJIC). SJIC will continue to act as the sole contractor but will deliver the IRC service on behalf of both the European Commission and EEDA. EEDA and the European Commission will be the main providers of financial support fo r the project. A core EEIRC team will continue to be based at the SJIC offices in Cambridge. Overall team numbers will be increased from 2 to 5 people (1.7FTE to 3.7FTE) to better meet the regional demand for EEIRC services. One of the new team will b e based in SJICs Cambridge office and will work closely with regional Universities & Research Institutes. The other two European Technology Advisors will be located in strategic centres outside of Cambridge to enhance our regional effectiveness. Thei r introduction will be staggered: one appointed April 2004; the second April 2005. EEIRC will work closely with the other IRC Network members. We will focus on SMEs. We will continue to maintain a high level of service capability and provide cost-effecti ve services that promote innovation and transnational technology transfer (TTT) partnerships involving regional clients (Companies, Universities & Research Institutes), and, inter alia, on transnational exploitation of Community RTD. Services will be delivered in synergy with regional/national support structures. We will provide information, advice and help on matters related to TTT partnerships, in accordance with the needs of regional clients. This will include inward technology transfer and tran snational innovation support sc

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Contamination and defect control for increased yield for large scale R2R production of OPV and OLED'.

assistant: **Concept**

While nanotechnology was originally limited to small areas of a few cm2, the quest for lower costs has been the latest years the drive for developing processes utilising larger substrate sizes at increasing throughputs. A typical example is the flat panel display industry where the push to larger gen size and faster processing has resulted in a significant cost reduction. The next challenge here is the move to smaller feature sizes. Large area processing at high speeds is optimal when using roll-to-roll (R2R) processing, able to deliver the ultimate cost reduction. Flexible innovative thin film devices, like organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) for lighting, photo voltaic (PV) and organic photo voltaic (OPV) modules, organic circuitry, printed electronics and thin film batteries, are currently developed using this kind of processing.The overall objective of Clean4Yield is the development and demonstration of technologies and tools for nano-scale detection, cleaning, prevention and repair of defects and contaminations in nano-scale layers. The R2R production processes for OLED, OPV, and high-end moisture barrier layers on flexible substrates will serve as development platform for the various methods. Clean4Yield will demonstrate that the developed methods increase yield, reduce production costs, and improve performance and operational device lifetimes of these applications. The developed technologies will be easy to adapted for other large-scale production technologies of other nano layer applications.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM FOR CUSTOMS' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

MUSYC is the latest development in EU efforts to stem the widespread practice of counterfeiting which now accounts for as much as 4% of world trade. A major requirement in tackling fraud is the fast accurate detection by customs authorities of counterfeit articles so as not to impede the flow of legitimate business. MUSYC will supply European customs officers with a multimedia reference tool to access rapidly comprehensive up-to-date information and expertise often required but not always readily available for this purpose.Counterfeiting is a crime against the economy, some of its most devastating effects are:- it occupies 3-4% of World Trade- causes 20,000 jobs to be lost in Europe- is a serious threat to public healthFrom 1994 the European Union took the necessary measures in law to ensure effective action by the national Customs Administrations against this trade. A major problem in the detection of counterfeit articles, is the need to make rapid decisions in order not to interrupt the flow of legitimate business. It often requires expert knowledge which is not always available and so this project MUSYC has been conceived to contribute to the solution.By using multimedia technology, the unification of image, text and sound, Customs officers will have available a powerful reference tool giving them access to a wide range of up-to-date information. It will be important that the results of this work are made available to all Customs Administrations within the EU in order that the full benefits can be enjoyed.This project will be an important example of the use of multimedia and itspotential benefits to the European Citizen.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Functional dynamics of proteins' (1998-2002) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the Laboratory for Optical Biosciences (LOB) of the Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France, fellowships up to 1 year are available for PhD students, in the framework of the Marie Curie Host Fellowships Program of the European Commission (Marie Curie Training Site). Research at this Training Site concerns Functional Dynamics of Proteins. In particular, but not exclusively, we study proteins involved in bioenergetics and in a signal transduction (NO and 02 sensing). Research at the LOB includes a broad variety of approaches and skills involved in the study of ultra fast dynamics of protein systems. This range from molecular biology and biochemistry to advanced femtosecond spectroscopy, and also include numerical simulation tools. Accordingly, a very important aspect of the work is its multidisciplinary character. We aim at receiving fellows both with a background in (bio)physics and in particular in time-resolved spectroscopy with an interest in studying protein systems, as well as fellows with a background in biochemistry or molecular biology, interested in biophysical characterization. For fellows with background in biology, the LOB offers training not only in techniques of microbiology molecular biology and biochemistry but provides the unique possibility to achieve and link these competences to the existing spectroscopic techniques. For fellows with a (bio)physical background, the training aims at getting acquainted with and developing tools to study dynamics in protein systems on the time scale of their internal motions. Hands-on experience can be obtained on several systems used for ultra fast absorption and emission spectroscopy in the visible, near- and mid-infrared, and Terahertz regions, using non-linear and coherent optical techniques. The LOB has over 20

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Generation @ in Multimedia Environments: Social, economic, and cultural aspects of interactive entertainment' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the year 2004 over half of the Western European population will be online. A generation of children and young people, the so-called Generation @ ", grows up in a new multimedia environment with mobile phones, interactive devices, digital TV and new forms of interactive entertainment. The proposed High- Level Scientific Conference, 'Generation @' in Multimedia Environments (G@ME)" shall focus on social, cultural and economic aspects of interactive entertainment for children and young people in Europe.The main objectives are:- With regard to Interactive Entertainment a clear generational gap is to be observed. Many academics do not pay attention to a phenomenon, which never became a relevant part of their own lives. It seems that it needs a generation of academics that have grown up with computer and video games. The Workshop sets out to involve young researchers who belong to this generation.Interactive Entertainment has to be analysed from different disciplinary perspectives. Social, economic, cultural and educational perspectives have to be integrated in order to reach a comprehensive understanding of this field. The Workshop shall bring together scholars from media and communication studies, economic psychology and education.Current developments in interactive entertainment raise the question of cultural identity or cultural dominance. Successful computer games, most of them being produced in the U.S.A. or in Japan (e.g. EA, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft), are global phenomena which go far beyond the games market itself. Instead they shape the whole range of cultural symbols making up children' s and young peoples ' environments. Thus, the proposed Workshop will include an intercultural comparative perspective. The markets of interactive entertainment are developing qu

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'A quest for biological roles of new small RNAs in Escherichia coli' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In recent years, genomic searches performed in several laboratories have indicated the high prevalence of identified new small, untranslated RNAs in all organisms, from bacteria to animals and plants. In the enterobacterial model E. coli, many new RNAs were identified (50) or predicted (250). However, although their expression patterns suggest involvement in stress responses, few of them have at present a biological function assigned to it. Moreover, even for the few for which information about a biological role has been obtained, detailed mechanistic understanding has not been obtained. Different approaches can be used to address function. Since E. coli is a genetically tractable organism, small RNA knockout or overexpression strains can easily be constructed for subsequent phenotypic analyses. Functional genomics approaches such as phenotype arrays, 2D gels, and microarrays will help to identify the regulated target genes and/ or pathways affected by chosen small RNAs (monitoring changes in mRNAs, or proteins). In addition, a bioinformatics approach developed recently in the host group will be employed to search for target mRNA, on the assumption that most of the small RNAs may act as antisense RNAs. This will be followed up by measuring small RNA effects on target/ reporter gene fusion constructs. Furthermore, small RNA/ target control systems will be characterised in detail by mechanistic studies, primarily carried out in vitro (RNA structure determination, RNA-RNA interaction, effects of helper proteins etc.). In conclusion the proposed work is expected to highlight the variety of ways in which sRNAs can regulate gene expression and the physiological conditions under which they are believed to function, as well as their biochemical properties, and their mode of act

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Models for transport environment and energy - version 2 strategic transport policy analysis', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of this project is to develop a set of strategic models for transport policy assesment in the field of taxation, pricing, regulation and financing and to demonstrate these models by analyzing different transport policy proposals with a European dimension. The approach focuses on completing the total spectrum of decision levels and options, rather than elaborating the details specific to one particular option.This involves the integration of different objectives:A. Define Policy Packages: Survey of European transport pricing problems and translation into alternative policy packages that can be tested by the TRENEN II strategic models.B. Basic Valuation Inputs for the Strategic Model ExerciseThe strategic model exercise aims to compare alternative policy packages on the basis of an enlarged social welfare criterium. This requires harmonized assumptions on valuation of transport quality, welfare weights, internal costs, social cost of public funds and external costs.C. Strategic Model DevelopmentBased on the experience with the TRENEN I models (developed in the JOULE program), a new version of TRENEN-URBAN and TRENEN-INTERREGIONAL will be developed. The main improvements for the urban model are disaggregation, segmentation and the dynamic specification. In the interregional context new developments will principally be related to the specific characteristics of international transport and supra-national policy-making.D. Model Implementation and Tests of Policy PackagesCase studies will be performed in five cities: Brussels, Dublin, Bologna, Amsterdam and Athens, and in three regions Belgium (and Flanders), an Italian region and Ireland. Policy conclusions will be drawn from this experience, covering issues as subsidiarity and centralisation in transport policy
