user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Development of a New Methodology to Anaylse the Durability of Facad e Repair and Retrofitting systems' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Current state of the art in building envelope design and construction is to a large extend based on empirical rules. This has resulted and results in poor physical quality. As a consequence, the retrofitting of building envelopes remains a permanent concern in all European Countries. The need for envelope repair is high. For instance, the annual costs reach +/ 30 Mrd BEF in Belgium, +/ 2 Mrd FM in Finland and +/ 4 Mrd DM in Saxony, Germany. Even the choice and application of repair and restoration methods is in too many cases trial and error, rather than the outcome of a scientific performance analysis. This closes the circle of inefficient design, poor construction, failing repair. Upgrading envelope repair methodology therefore is a challenging research topic. In fact, a new rationale, based on sound scientific knowledge and correct performance assessment should be developed. Formulation of envelope performances in a holistic, scientific way demands first of all a correct definition of durability. This should be done in terms of risks. Then the environmental load with the largest impact on service life should be explored. There, coupled heat, air, moisture and salt transport (HAMST) plays a key role as cause of mechanical, physical, chemical and biological degradation. First obiective of the proposal therefore is a further development of basic HAMST knowledge. This should result in full and simplified HAMST models for durability assessment. The application of models and computer codes and the development of repair systems, which not only upgrade aesthetics but also increase energy efficiency and overall durability however, is not possible without knowledge of material properties involved and an understanding of the interaction between deterioration and climate.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Electro-Optic Meta Tweezers for Precise Manipulation and Analysis of Underwater Sub-100 nm Nanoplastics' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Nanoplastics (NPLs) are microscopic plastic particles smaller than 1000 nm that pose a significant environmental and health threat. They are frequently released when larger plastic debris pieces decompose, and they can be found everywhere, from marine ecosystems to the food we eat. Detecting NPLs (< 100 nm) is challenging due to the limitations of analytical tools. The ""Nanoplastics (NPLs)-AcquaSENS"" Project seeks to address these challenges by developing an innovative online Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF) coupled with electro-optic meta-sensors for the rapid, non-destructive, and in situ detection of NPLs in aquatic environments. This project will harness the power of advanced numerical simulations, cutting-edge nanolithography, and state-of-the-art instrumentation techniques to create a novel electro-optic meta tweezer. This device will enable the controlled trapping and precise manipulation of NPLs, pushing the boundaries of current detection capabilities. A key component of the project is the measurement of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) signals from electro-optically trapped NPLs, which will allow for a detailed analysis of the microscopic physics governing these particles in real-world water bodies. The project will overcome diffraction and diffusion limits in NPL detection and have the lowest LoD to date. Additionally, the project will develop a comprehensive, high-resolution SERS spectral library of commonly found plastic materials in drinking waters to provide a standardised reference tool for researchers and practitioners. This SERS library will serve as a critical resource for the identification and characterization of NPLs. Integrating this advanced technology into routine drinking water monitoring protocols has the potential to significantly enh

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'DTV : Dispatch Towing Vehicle, for ""Engines Stopped"" Aircraft Taxiing""' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The DTV is a towbarless aircraft tractor dedicated to dispatch towing of single aisle aircrafts (e.g. A320, B737), allowing the aircraft to stop the engines during taxiing in and out. The DTV has sufficient power to achieve taxiing speeds compatible with a transparent integration into taxiing traffic. By measuring in real time the load on the Nose Landing Gear thanks to a unique clamping device, and by adapting its tractive effort in accordance, the DTV does not impact the structure life of the aircraft Nose Landing Gear. It also offers full operational transparency for the aircraft pilot, as the braking is performed by the aircraft Main Landing Gear, on pilot demand. The clamping device allows the rotation of the Nose Landing Gear, so the steering could be performed by the Pilot using his tiller such as today. In case of aircraft limitation on steering capability with no engine running, the DTV has a “Steer-By-Wire” mode using tiller signal.The DTV will integrate embedded systems exclusively developed for this application and certified through STC certification (aerospace requirements), which will communicate with the airport environment. These systems include a Control, Command and Communication Center (C4), dGPS, INS, ODD, to allow the DTV to receive environment data (slope, wing, aircraft data) in order to adapt its tractive effort and target speed depending on its position on the air field. No modification of the aircraft is needed, communication from DTV Driver to Pilot is done via Intercom as today, and Pilot could have additional DTV information and target speed control via Electronic Flight Bag. Minor changes on airport are needed, such as return roads. The DTV will be able to perform standard Pushback and Maintenance Towing operations, as existing aircraft tra

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Server-driven Outbound Web-application Sandboxing' (WEBSAND).

assistant: **Concept**

Since its birth in 1990, the Web has evolved from a simple, stateless delivery mechanism for static hypertext documents to a fully-edged run-time environment for distributed, multi-party applications. Security becomes increasingly important in this context, but is typically only an afterthought in this process. The next wave, the Future Internet, will continue to rely on the same web application technology, while adopting more p2p and mashup-style approaches. Today's server-centric solutions will give way to a rich and stateful client-centric paradigm with even less manageable security and even more severe threats to the web-based economy of the Future Internet. Data and services from multiple heterogeneous domains, aggregated both on the server-side and on an end-user's client, demand for a novel, comprehensive security solution that increases the user's trust into the technological infrastructure. WebSand tackles this demand by departing from the observation that security should be server-driven. Even though security preferences from end-users at the client-side have to be taken into account, only the service developers at the server-side have the necessary expertise and context information to define the policies to be enforced. Moreover, server-driven security can be deployed relatively easily, since much can be achieved without updating the client-side platform. The WebSand framework consists of four major building blocks: (1) a secure interaction model, that allows explicit and fine-grained control concerning incoming Web communication, (2) methods for secure end-to-end information flow control, to enforce confidentiality and integrity properties, (3) behavioral sandbox environments for secure client-side and server-side composition of multi-origin components, and

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Flexible Upcycled Waste Material based Sensible Thermal Energy Storage for CSP' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

FLUWS aims to develop and validate a more flexible, reliable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective thermal energy storage (TES) system futureproofed for next-generation concentrating solar power plants operating at higher temperatures and hybridized with PV, two of the main paths for reaching cost-efficiency of CSP. FLUWS validates up to TRL 5 a novel TES concept that ensures elevated thermal efficiency with minimum environmental impact thanks to on the one hand the upcycling of waste and residual materials from the ceramic industry and the use of air as heat transfer fluid and on the other thanks to building on previous consortium know-how in the development of new cost-effective radial packed-bed TES and materials for high-temperature applications. The new FLUWS TES will enable more flexible and modular CSP systems as it will have embedded electric heaters driven by renewable electricity and will be designed for easier integration with compact gas Brayton cycles, thus facilitating the provision of additional services from CSP to the grid and widening the applications of CSP as a competitive technology for combined heat and power (CHP) in the industrial sector.FLUWS addresses key technological challenges: development of high-temperature solid TES media materials based on upcycling of waste and residual material streams; Production of bricks-shaped TES materials via low energy demanding extrusion processes; Development of high temperature (≥800°C) packed bed TES with embedded electric heaters with enhanced performance and reducedstructural challenges facilitating upscaling and commercial uptake; Development of high-temperature TES with minimal environmental impact and maximized circularity along the full value chain; Deployment of comprehensive modelling suites f

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Disruptive, drug free treatment of knee osteoarthritis using novel materials and minimally invasive catheter delivery' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

EmboSure is a breakthrough treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis. It acts directly on the mechanism of Osteoarthritis, delivers long term pain relief and stops the progression of the disease for up to 5 years. The solution involves embolising or blocking the tiny blood vessels of the knee with patented bioresorbable particles developed by CrannMed. The bioresorbable embolic particles are tightly calibrated 200µm particles, made from naturally occurring biocompatible materials which block the small blood vessels of the knee over a five day period. This disrupts the osteoarthritic degradation before the particles are completely reabsorbed into the body. The particles are delivered through a minimally invasive microcatheter, specifically designed by CrannMed to reach the tortuous vessels of the knee. As the maintenance of blood supply to the knee and the lower leg is critical, the bioresorbable particles and microcatheter are key to our paradigm to treat without leaving anything behind.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Translational Research in Action for Cancer in regional Ecosystem' (TRACE) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

TRACE | Translational Research in Action for Cancer in Regional Ecosystems aims to bridge the research-to-practice gap in effective cancer awareness and prevention programmes, with a focus on underserved populations, for the improvement of the quality of life of patients and survivors, by collecting and analysing evidence on their needs.TRACE will implement a translational research initiative to develop regional ecosystems in three countries: Portugal, Poland, and Serbia, aligning with the objectives of the EC’s Mission on Cancer. The project will focus on reinforcing the regional ecosystems around 3 Universities (UNL, GUMED and FTN) involving the quadruple-helix of stakeholders to integrate cancer research and data from universities and research institutes with local healthcare systems, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public services, and grassroots organisations towards evidence-based literacy and prevention initiatives. By fostering transdisciplinary collaboration between higher education institutions and regional stakeholders, innovative, co-created approaches to cancer prevention can be tailored to the specific needs of each country and region. Citizen Science, public health programs in underserved areas, awareness campaigns, and Living Labs will bridge the gap between research and healthcare by ensuring new knowledge and evidence-based innovations are developed, tested, and implemented in real-world settings. This reduces inequities and benefits underserved communities that face challenges accessing cancer care. Additionally, the creation of a common data-sharing platform and cascade funding through an Open Call will involve industry, health, and social providers, ensuring the sustainability of the engagement model.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Silicon thin film on industrial ceramic substrates' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives of the project Crystalline silicon has a number of advantages as high abundance, availability in high purity, high conversion efficiencies, stability, well developed technology and environmental safety. On other respects, thin film PV cells offer the perspective of low cost material and energy consumption as well as relative ease of large scale production. Therefore, a combination of the benefits of both technologies: crystalline silicon and thin film seems to be very attractive. This project has two main objectives: - to develop an adequate industrial ceramic substrate for silicon deposition at high temperature; - to make PV cells on these substrates and PV modules. Technical approach Task 1 focuses on the development of economical ceramic substrates compatible with crystalline silicon thin film deposition at high temperatures. Task 2 optimises the silicon deposition processes in terms of growth rate, grains size and electronic transport properties on adequate ceramic substrates. Task 3 studies and implements a PV cell process in the silicon layers grown on the ceramic substrates. Task 4 investigates a cost effective process to fabricate modules using the silicon thin film based cells. Expected achievements and exploitation Technically, the goal is to demonstrate that silicon thin film PV cells can be produced on lowcost ceramic substrates with a good conversion efficiency. Results are expected on several parts: - Elaboration of adequate ceramic substrates for PV technology; - Formation of high quality silicon thin films; - Solutions for the best electrical contacts for cells and inter-connections of modules.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Functionalized Colloidal Capsules' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project Functionalised Colloidal Capsules (FCC) has two goals:1) development of a universal methodology for modification of colloidal substrates (polyelectrolyte capsules) with two (several) (bio-) macromolecular functionalities providing control of their ratio and uniform distribution;2) development of a new approach for manufacturing asymmetrically (north-south) functionalised colloidal particles (polyelectrolyte capsules).The methodology developed within the 1st goal will result in manufacturing prototypes of biocompatible colloidal drug carriers with increased circulation period and better targeting efficiency for future pharmaceutical applications. One of the functionalities on the surface of a drug carrier will be responsible for hindering non-specific interactions with proteins and cells of the immune system, while the other one will provide recognition of a targeted tissue.The problem of proper control on the ratio of the two types of the (bio-) macromolecular functionalities will be solved via their preliminary coupling to a common anchoring unit (backbone) resulting in the architecture of (mixed) graft-copolymers. The approach for manufacturing asymmetrically (north-south) functionalised colloidal particles (polyelectrolyte capsules) comprises preliminary protection of one semi-sphere of the particles by reversible adsorption to an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte brush.The open surface of the partially protected colloidal particles will be modified by adsorption of graft-copolymers synthesized within the 1st goal. The non-modified area on the particles will be modified (if necessary) with another kind of graft-copolymer or linear polyelectrolyte after release of the particles back to the solution.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Genomic technology in agricultural pest management: creating novel resources for whole genome dissection of plant-pest interaction through whole genome sequencing of spider mite Tetranychus urticae'.

assistant: **Concept**

Application of chemical pesticides represents one of the major costs of agricultural production and is a key source of environmental pollution and introduction of carcinogens into the human food chain. The current need for novel methods of pest control coincide with advances in crop genomics that open novel avenues for biotechnology and plant breeding. In contrast, genomic resources for pest species, necessary for the development of new control strategies, are lagging behind. Thus, a current gap in knowledge about pest genetics, genomics and plant-pest interactions is a major obstacle for the development of alternative pest control strategies. To circumvent these problems I propose to exploit a novel pest genomic resource developed by my lab: the whole-genome sequence of a major agricultural pest, the spider mite Tetranychus urticae, in order to develop new pest control strategies. T. urticae is a generalist herbivore and a major agricultural pest. It feeds on more then 1500 plant species. Chemical pesticides are the predominant method of controlling spider mites, but mites have rapidly evolved resistance to all major pesticide groups. My goal is to develop a basis for environmentally sound pest control strategies using a multidisciplinary combination of pest and plant genomics, bioinformatics, genetics and population biology that will allow us to: 1. Annotate the genome of the T. urticae and develop tools for spider mite whole genome transcriptome analysis. 2. Establish a T. urticae genetic map. 3. Analyse natural variation of plant resistance to spider mites using high-throughput genomic technologies. 4. Analyse pest transcriptomes as a consequence of feeding on resistant and susceptible plants. This research will expand our knowledge of plant-pest interactions on the
