user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Evaluating Social Capital Effects on PoLicy Adaptation to Climate change in Coastal Zones of England' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In order to implement sustainable policies for Europe’s coastal zones facing significant problems of sea-level rise, erosion and flooding, a range of factors must be taken into account. Regarding social aspects it is now accepted that examination of local contextual issues should be undertaken as a step to improving policy outcomes. In this context, social capital represents a potentially significant parameter that deserves closer examination. It has been argued that, in communities with greater social capital, there is an increased propensity to act collectively in order to conserve natural resources and, furthermore, that these communities are more likely to support environmental policies. Yet despite these findings, the relationship between social capital inherent in communities and local receptivity to mitigation strategies for hazardous coastal zones has not been considered. The aim of the proposed project is thus to explore public perceptions of coastal management scenarios seeking to mitigate climate change impacts, through the lens of social capital. Specifically, the project will examine public perceptions of the likely (non-economic) social costs and benefits arising from implementing different mitigation strategies and how local social capital differentiates these perceptions. Two case study areas have been chosen, in England, already facing substantial management problems, which will increase in forthcoming decades: Happisburgh to Winterton-on-Sea in north Norfolk and Dymchurch to Rye in east Sussex and Kent. For the examination of citizens’ perceptions and the influence of social capital, both qualitative and quantitative social survey techniques will be implemented. Furthermore, based on the results of the empirical studies the project will explore how soc

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Recycling of lithium based and lithium/polymer batteries' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives and content The aim of the project is to develop a process that enables the recycling of spent Li-batteries materials, and to include these recycled materials in the process line of battery manufacturing. Using the recycled materials, the objective is to obtain a lithium polymer battery with a specific energy of 150 Wh/kg and a specific power of 200 W/Kg. To reach this objective, it will be necessary to optimise the main components of the battery. The recycling process will guarantee the recovery of Vanadium and Lithium compounds, which will be suitable for reuse as raw material for battery components manufacturing. The process will take into account all environmental and safety (of human and equipment) requirements. The final process will guarantee:  the recycling of 80 % weight of lithium contained in the battery,  the recycling of 80 % weight of vanadium oxides contained in the battery,  the recycling of 60 % weight of lithium salt contained in the battery,  no emission of toxic components and gas,  the scale-up and demonstration of a 200 kg/month battery recycling device. The target of the project is to allow the recycling of all the Li based batteries. This market is one of the most promising in the world as its increasing is closely linked to the development of two fast growing markets: the portable equipment one (video camcorders, portable phones, computers, ...) and the electrical vehicle one. It could be envisaged that there will be more than 5.000 Tons/year of batteries to recycle all around Europe in year 2005. This represents a major challenge for the European industry. 7 partners from 4 European countries are involved in this project. This allow to cover european countries from the southern, the northern and the central part of the E.U. Two R&D c

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Validation of Aerosol optical Properties and surface Irradiance measured from Ozone Monitoring Instrument on board of AURA satellite' (VAP-OMI) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aim of VAP-OMI is to validate and improve atmospheric parameters retrieved from multi-spectral solar irradiance observations from space, using the Dutch/Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on board of the AURA satellite. It focuses on aerosol properties (Aerosol optical depth (AOD) and single scattering albedo (SSA)) and spectral surface UV Irradiance (UVI), using synchronized and collocated high quality ground-based (GB) measurements, combined with radiative transfer model sensitivity studies. The proposed work will be carried out at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) which hosts the OMI co-PI and world-leading experts on aerosol properties and UVI, retrieved both from space and from the ground. Firstly, possible improvement on the OMI multi-wavelength aerosol retrieval algorithm (OMAERO) will be investigated. The main issues to be considered are the effects of clouds (cloud screening), surface reflectance and the standard aerosol models that OMAERO currently uses.  The retrieved AOD from OMI will be compared with GB AOD measurements taken from existing global aerosol networks (AERONET) as well as measurements of related aerosol campaigns such as ARCTAS and SCOUT. Of particular interest are measurements with three AERONET instruments recently installed in high latitudes, which allow studies of effects of snow and ice. Methodologies of SSA retrieval from GB solar irradiance measurements will be applied to the widely deployed Brewer spectroradiometer network in order to enlarge the GB SSA database, especially in the UV part of the solar spectrum. The OMAERO algorithm outputs will be compared to the Brewer SSA retrievals and also with other satellite derived and selected AERONET SSA measurements. Finally, OMI retrieved UVI will be compared using results

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Gene Activated Matrices for Bone and Cartilage Regeneration in Arthritis'.

assistant: **Concept**

This consortium develops a novel gene-activated matrix platform for bone and cartilage repair with a focus on osteoarthritis-related tissue damage. The S&T objectives of this project are complemented with an innovative program of public outreach, actively linking patients and society to the evolvement of this project. The GAMBA platform is going to implement a concept of spatiotemporal control of regenerative bioactivity on command and demand. A gene-activated matrix is a biomaterial with embedded gene vectors that will genetically modify cells embedded in the matrix. The platform comprises modules that self-adapt to the biological environment and that can be independently addressed with endogenous biological and exogenous physical or pharmacological stimuli, resulting in a temporally and spatially coordinated growth factor gene expression pattern. This reproduces, within the matrix, key elements of natural tissue formation. The modules are a biomimetic hyaluronan gel, a ceramic matrix, growth factor-encoding gene vector nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles and mesenchymal stem cells. Anatomical adaptivity is achieved with engineered thermal properties of the polymer matrix, which embeds other modules, selected according to functional requirements. Mechanical support is provided by Micro Macroporous Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (MBCP™), a resorbable material approved for clinical use. Spatiotemporal control of bioactivity and responsiveness to physiological conditions is represented, firstly, in the spatial distribution and release profiles of gene vectors within the composite matrix and, secondly, by letting local and external biological or physical stimuli activate the promoters driving the expression of vector-encoded transgenes. This innovative concept is implemented

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'In-situ NanoElectrical Measurements in a Transmission Electron Microscope' (NEMINTEM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Nanocharacterization techniques are becoming increasingly important. They help us to determine local atomic arrangements, element compositions as well as electronic structures. High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) is the most powerful and widely accepted technique. However, until recently in-situ HRTEM did not show sufficient resolution to image changes on the atomic scale. In the last five years, my group has pioneered advanced specimen holders towards in-situ HRTEM. We have leading expertise in obtaining the high resolution in a range of controllable environments: temperatures, pressures, and liquids. In addition, combinations with other types of parallel measurements were pioneered, such as in-situ low-noise electrical characterization. Clearly it is indeed possible to operate the HRTEM as a nanolaboratory. It allows to really see what one is measuring. With this proposal I want to realize the equipment and methodology to perform nano-electrical measurements of nanostructures in-situ in a HRTEM. The NanoElectrical Measurements in a Transmission Electron Microscope (NEMinTEM) will be applied to nanostructures of a range of materials.  Furthermore the electron beam will be used to make well-controlled modifications of the nanostructure. The effects of these modifications on the electrical properties will be measured simultaneously. Semiconductor nanowires, graphene, metallic bridges and nanoelectrodes, and oxide multilayers will be studied, providing challenging examples with possible high-impact results It is to be expected that once NEMinTEM is mature, it will be applied to many more materials.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Revealing the contribution of liver macrophage populations to NASH in insulin resistance'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, is an unmet medical need with no approved therapies and debilitating consequences for patients. Obesity-associated insulin resistance is a high-risk factor for the development of NASH. The prevailing paradigm is a multiple hit process, whereby lipid accumulation in the liver of obese patients leads to oxidative stress and increased production of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages. However, my research group's comprehensive investigations in mice and humans have revealed that liver macrophages (LMs) contribute to insulin resistance and oxidative stress independently of their inflammatory status. I thereby propose that LMs predispose insulin resistant patients to NASH independently of their inflammatory status.  In this ambitious multidisciplinary project, we will use a novel platform encompassing multiple single cell and in situ omics technologies tailored by my research group to characterize the phenotype of LM populations in healthy individuals and insulin resistant patients with or without NASH. We will strengthen this approach with functional validation in animal models as well as human liver organoids using a patented technology that I have developed to specifically manipulate gene expression in macrophages. We will then decipher how hepatic insulin resistance creates a spatiotemporal environment facilitating NASH. My group's unique access to patient material combined with cutting-edge methodologies to reveal the phenotype of single LMs provides an exceptional starting point from which to identify genes and pathways involved in the development of NASH in obese insulin resistant patients. This project will set the stage for a paradigm-shift in studying and treating life-threaten

user: Explain how 'Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development (BRAID) will develop a comprehensive RTD roadmap for active ageing by consolidating existing roadmaps and by describing and launching a stakeholder co-ordination and consultation mechanism.  It will characterise key research challenges and produce a vision for a comprehensive approach in supporting the well-being and socio-economic integration of increasing numbers of senior citizens in Europe.<br/>BRAID responds to the apparent need to consolidate the various existing perspectives, plans, roadmaps and research and to coordinate effectively the stakeholders in ICT and Ageing. It will  utilise knowledge repositories and stakeholder networks to create a self-sustaining, dynamic strategic mechanism for overcoming the fragmentation that has plagued e-inclusion and for improving co-ordination and collaboration among stakeholders.  BRAID has three main objectives, to:<br/>\tCreate a dynamic ICT and Ageing roadmap that addresses older people's needs not otherwise well met, that identifies and benefits from best practices in the EU and elsewhere and that analyses current and potential gaps in knowledge and execution;\tInstantiate a strategic research agenda that tracks and builds upon existing, emerging and disruptive technologies and that responds to the changing socio-economic conditions of stakeholders;\tExpand the BRAID networks of contacts to build a self-sustaining co-ordination mechanism which is viral and ubiquitous and reaches out across the heterogeneity of stakeholders.<br/>BRAID will build upon  the experience  and  knowledge developed in previous projects while taking account of e-inclusion efforts in the EU27 as well as Australia, Canada, Japan and the US.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Innovative plant and technology for spinnig bicomponent pp, pe, ps, and pa staple fibres with high flexibility and low environmental impact' (1998-2002), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The existing polyolephinic fibre production process is based on the extrusion of polymers made fluid by high temperature, for spinning such process need a long time of permanence in the spinnerets and a high temperature, which in turn submit the polymer to high fatigue and stresses and does not allow to obtain a fibre with the characteristics of tenacity and stabilisation as close to natural fibres as possible needed for the actual applications in fashion. Another important factor to be taken into account, especially when dealing with fashion applications, is flexibility both in terms of type and composition of the fibre and in term of quantity and colour of the different batches to be produced. The main goal of the Project will therefore be the study, design and development of a new spinning system for bi-component staple fibres with the characteristics and foreseen improvements with respect to the state of the art The project will fit into the objectives of KEY ACTION 2.1 'Innovative products, processes and organisation of the Growth action of the 5th Framework Programme."

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Next Evolution in Materials and Models for Ocean energy' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

NEMMO will design, model and test downscaled prototypes of larger, lighter and more durable composite blades for >2MW floating tidal turbines to reduce LCoE of tidal energy to €0.15/kWh, meeting 2025 SET-Plan targets and making it competitive to competing fossil fuel sources. Novel blade designs with enhanced hydrodynamic performance due to the implementation of the different solutions, active flow control, materials and surfaces will be tested. Also, new nano-enhanced composites with properties that increase fatigue-, impact-, cavitation- and bio-fouling resistance of novel blade designs to prevent failures will be made. The project will then model, design and test the lifespan and resistance of the new composites for tidal turbine blades. This will involve: • accurate modelling of harsh hydrodynamic and environmental stresses for the development of testing and validation procedures • a new test rig for the evaluation of fatigue and cavitation on test probes and downscaled prototypes • a testing procedure including bio-fouling and marine environments evaluation in four different real scenarios • development of numerical models for the prediction of lifespan and mechanical properties as function of the materials properties, hydrodynamic loads, time and water composition • Novel tidal generator blades designs integrating active control flow, advanced surfaces and new nano-enhanced composites. The collective result of these innovations is 70% reduction in LCoE for tidal energy due to; (i) 50% CapEx reduction (lower material consumption and 25% lower cost of new composites), (ii) 2% lower FCR (increased understanding of failure and fatigue mechanisms and more durable composites with 66% higher lifespan), (iii) 40% reduction in O&M (reduced cavitation wear, bio-fouling and

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Thermal fatigue evaluation of piping system tee"- connection"' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Thermal fatigue is a recurring problem when LWR plants become older and life time extension activities are initiated. In general, the common thermal fatigue issues are understood and can be controlled by plant instrumentation systems. However, the Civaux 1 and other incidents indicate that certain piping system Tee's are susceptible to turbulent temperature mixing effects that cannot be adequately monitored by common thermocouple instrumentations, putting the reliability of integrity evaluation procedures in doubt. THERFAT proposes to review field data and perform advanced thermohydraulic flow simulations and stress and fracture analysis. Critical elements of the procedure will be investigated by targeted verification tests. Proposals will be made for improved thermal fatigue assessment procedures, screening criteria and for establishing a European Methodology on Thermal Fatigue.
