user: Describe how 'A Faster Approach to Network Control' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

This project is about network control (NC) algorithms, a subclass of control algorithms that are used in scheduling, congestion control, or more generally, in resource allocation problems in networks. In the last years, NC algorithms have been designed at the same pace as new services were available (e.g. video streaming, VoIP). However, this is becoming increasingly difficult. The increasing complexity of data networks and the diversity of services offered are making NC algorithms slow and complicated to design, and as a result, less effective in practice. For instance, it can take months to develop a new NC algorithm. In this project, we aim to change the paradigm in which NC algorithms are designed. We want to move away from the current 'paper and pencil' approach and go towards a much faster method using software. In particular, we want to use recent breakthroughs in the areas of optimisation and networking to: (i) develop a new mathematical framework that abstracts previous solutions, and (ii) create a software package that allows us to use the framework in a simple and fast way (i.e. model NC problems and generate algorithms). That is, the software package will make possible to use the framework in a simple language, which will speed up the modelling of NC problems. This project is important because it will make possible to deliver future services on time while using network resources efficiently, but also because it connects solid theory developed in academia with real problems addressed by industry. During the last phase of the project, we will collaborate with an industry research lab (NEC) to exploit the project results.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'A novel decentralized edge-enabled PREsCriptivE and ProacTive framework for increased energy efficiency and well-being in residential buildings' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

PRECEPT ambitiously aims to set the grounds for the deployment and operation of proactive residential buildings. The proposed framework introduces a “plug-n-play” Pred(scr)ictive and Proactive building energy management system (PP-BMS) installed locally at building level, at the Edge-Enable Proactiveness (EEP) device. The proposed PP-BMS is self-adapted, self-learned, -managed, -monitored, -healing and -optimized, requiring no (or minimum) installation costs and no maintenance. PP-BMS transform traditional reactive buildings to proactive ones, increasing their performance (both energy efficiency and occupants’ well-being), exploiting RES, storage, forecasts and energy tariffs. PRECEPT also targets to the development of a real-time digital representation of the intelligent proactive residential buildings by employing 6D BIM technology. Further to that, a set of novel indicators leveraging on the smart readiness rationale will be introduced for rating the Smart Proactiveness of buildings. The proposed indicators will enable the introduction of a reliable framework under which the comparative assessment of the level of smartness and proactiveness of buildings can be regulated and assessed. Also, PRECEPT approach will deliver advanced data visualizations, utilizing big-data and visual analytics techniques, which in conjunction with a social collaboration platform will engage stakeholders to exchange best-practices. Interaction with the grid will be supported in a secured (Hyperledger Fabric) manner through the decentralized EEP device, supporting the implementation of D/R strategies. To maximize its potential impact, PRECEPT demonstrates novel sustainable business models for rendering traditional reactive buildings to proactive buildings that go beyond the energy-related be

assistant: **Abstract**

Chronic infection with the hepatits C virus (HCV) is characterised by high antibody titers against HCV proteins. We want to test if these antibodies can alter antigen processing, change the range of available T cell epitopes and thus shape the clonal composition of the HCV-specific T cell repertoire

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Quantifying the completeness of the stratigraphic record and its role in reconstructing the tempo and mode of evolution' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Darwin identified the incompleteness of the geological record as a major concern in our ability to reconstruct the evolutionary history from fossils. Geological strata are not, however, a random selection of the past, but are deposited and preserved in processes which can be modelled mathematically. This project employs numerical forward modelling, a technique from sedimentary basin analysis, to quantify how stratigraphic gaps affect evolutionary patterns in the fossil record. It focuses on tropical carbonate platforms, because they are the richest archive of biodiversity through the Phanerozoic and are directly formed by organisms, thus preserving a positive feedback loop between the environment, evolution, and sediment formation. Completeness of the record depends on the time scale of measurement. Previous work demonstrated that long gaps in the record, in the range of 106-107 years, are reflected in biodiversity reconstructions. Here we address shorter gaps (103-105 years), which are more frequent, but harder to detect. They can be predicted using models of stochastic sedimentation, astronomical forcing, and sedimentary and diagenetic self-organization. Forward modelling will be used to simulate the effect of gaps in the record produced by each of these processes on diversity and character evolution. This will allow us to answer the questions: What part of diversity do we miss owing to the missing rock record? Are the preserved intervals exceptional or representative? Is there a systematic part of biodiversity and environmental records which will always fall into gaps? By applying the findings of the forward modelling to fossil successions, we will be able to identify and correct for the missing parts of the record and formulate testable hypotheses on the original te

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Towards a comparison of European port city dynamics' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Innovation**

The European territory is marked by a vast variety of forms and functions according to urban settlements. In an age of globalisation, port and urban activities are said to concentrate and accelerate their process of growth, notably under the pressure of maritime and transport players, which connect the nodes according to their own logics.But at a regional scale, hinterlands are more and more spatially structured with port, logistic, transformation and service activities shifting inland from constrained littoral sites. This puts in question the relevancy of the 'port city' concept, which seems to have been deluded through time, from the core settlement to the deep sea (e.g. the Anyport model of J. Bird, 1963), and from the deep sea to inland locations (e.g. dry ports, multimodal platforms).My project aims at understanding how do port cities continue to attract services and cargo, putting in question their role as 'central places' as opposed to pure 'hubs' remote from urban settlements (e.g. Gioia Tauro in Italy, an extreme case). In order to answer theoretical questions, we need to work on a vast sample of port cities and to collect relevant data. My PhD has explored such principles at a world scale, but on a short period (1990-2000) given the lack of statistical sources.The aim of this project is to collect time-series data linked with the concepts of urban centrality (population and services), port nodality (nodes and infrastructures) and maritime intermediacy (calls and networks). The major interests of this work would be to propose an up-to-date database, which may be used to answer specific questions such as congestion trends, competition at a wider scale, with harmonious data collected for comparable places.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Innovative comfort evaluation scheme for seating associated components (FURNIDEX)' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project has researched individual perceptions of comfort through a series of trials and studies incorporating retailers, occupational therapists, furniture manufacturers, residents of residential homes, retired subjects and subjects of a normal working age. The trials have been carried out in three countries (Spain, Ireland and England) in order to provide information on differing climates and anthropometrical measurements. The key factors are taken from the results of these studies, producing a numerical scale, with the most important factors being given a higher statistical weighting in the development of the final draft of the index. The index should be capable of distinguishing between varying chairs in order to assess which chairs are the most comfortable. The index works by asking a series of questions, designed to identify individual aspects of comfort and/or discomfort about the chair being assessed. The areas of the chair are broken down into sub sections of seat properties, back rest, arms etc. A series of questions in each subsection will then identify several aspects that can be used to give the overall comfort properties. In addition, the chairs are inspected by an expert to asses the moisture distribution properties of both the materials and the design of the furniture. The information is entered into a spreadsheet that calculates a numerical value for comfort using a series of weighting values determined through the work of the project.The product of the project, the Furniture Comfort Index, will be exploited by the partners of the project as both a marketing tool and also to increase the comfort of their products in order to increase market share and value. It is envisaged that the use of the index will be exclusive to the partners for a set period o

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'High performance computing for process industries awareness and promotion exercise'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The overall objective of the project is to increase awareness in the potential of and to promote the use of High Performance Computing and Networking (HPCN). This will be done by supporting a next-generation approach to industrial R&D in the process industries with emphasis on IT-based simulation and prediction.The aim is to promote widely the results from the HP-PIPES project. This project has developed computational packages and demonstrated that advanced simulation can be used as a realistic predictive tool for the design and operation of reaction and combustion systems. The core code, which models fluid flow and heat transfer in process engineering systems, exploits the power of massively parallel high-performance computing systems. It has been coded in a modular form to facilitate the development of new functions for other applications. The code is already being successfully exploited in a range of collaborative projects involving industry and universities. The end results of the project will be a multimedia demonstration of the application of HPCN and computational fluid dynamics technologies in the accurate prediction of real industrial processes and an interactive package for evaluating the costs and benefits of this class of R&D. There will be two editions of the CD-ROM-based multimedia presentations which will be widely circulated to the process industries and other interested institutions.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The rise and fall of Maltese terraced landscapes' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Human-modified landscapes modulate the effects of climate change on human societies. For example, concrete surfaces increase flood risks and dense cities exacerbate the effects of warming. However, urbanisation is not the only major form of landscape modification. Agricultural terraces represent one of the largest-scale human modifications of the planet, and have many positive effects for cultivation, soil retention, carbon and water storage, and biodiversity. Despite their profound importance for soil modification and a sustainable future, the causes, chronology, and consequences of terracing are all poorly understood, as is the impact of their growing abandonment. This limits our ability to understand how climate change will impact human societies, and the extent to which terraces can help build resilience and sustainability. Pilot research suggests that terracing may have had a uniquely early development on the Maltese Islands, which ultimately became one of the most heavily terraced landscapes on Earth. TerraForm will therefore use Malta as a model system for understanding the evolution and consequences of terracing, from inception to abandonment, alongside societal feedbacks over time. Through its small size, remote location, and limited soil development, Malta offers controlled conditions for such a study. As Malta sits at the front line of climate change, understanding terracing here also has urgent implications for soil erosion, food security, and flooding - both regionally and in areas facing analogous futures. Finally, many of Malta’s terraces have recently been abandoned and are rapidly collapsing, resulting in the loss of an important archive for climate mitigation. Using Malta as a model system is therefore timely, and as the most intensive single-locus stu

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Evolutionary genetics of guppy sex chromosomes' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

I propose an integrated programme of molecular genetic studies to fill fundamental gaps in our knowledge of sex chromosome evolution. Specifically, I will use a fish, the guppy (Poecilia reticulata), to test the sexual antagonism (SA) hypothesis of sex chromosome evolution, which is plausible, but lacks direct evidence. SA mutations (that benefit one sex but lower fitness of the other) are proposed to arise in a partially sex-linked (pseudo-autosomal region, or PAR) gene, and establish polymorphisms. To reduce the conflict between the sexes, suppressed recombination between X and Y chromosomes then evolves (unless sex-specific expression evolves first). The guppy is ideal for studying this hypothesis because SA polymorphisms are well documented: male coloration phenotypes make males attractive to females, but also make them conspicuous to predators (while females gain no compensating benefit). Moreover, guppies have a recombination-suppressed sex-linked region that carries multiple coloration genes, yet is thought to have evolved recently. However, no non-Y-linked coloration factor has yet been mapped, and the genetics is complicated by modifers making some XX individuals male, and by male-specific expression of some phenotypes. I will map coloration genes and identify PAR genes using DNA-based markers to take account of these problems. I will test for the predicted lower coloration allele frequencies in natural populations with high versus low predation rates, and do population genetic analyses to test for closer linkage under high predation. I will also use X-Y sequence divergence to estimate the age of the guppy sex chromosome. The project tests predictions that emerge from well-documented differing selection regimes in natural guppy populations. I have therefore ass

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Devlopment and evolution of animal form: training modern comparative zoologists' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Linking classical evolutionary biology to modern molecular developmental genetics has led to the emergence of a new, rapidly expanding field called Evolutionary Developmental Biology (Evo-Devo). This inter-disciplinary field, that integrates traditional comparative anatomy, systematics and paleontology, with modern molecular biology, developmental genetics and molecular phylogenetics, has recently begun to address many of the major unsolved questions of animal evolution. The main purpose of ZOONET, is to educate a new generation of comparative zoologists through teaching, training and research in this exciting new area of research. Research topics addressed by this network will include:- the resolution of phylogenetic relationships among major animal groups - the understanding the molecular mechanisms and events that underlie the generation of animal diversity%:L- the development new approaches for genetic analysis and for identification of novel gene functions in non-model organisms.- the origin of key features of animals including segmentation, appendages and the head and brain In achieving these objectives, ZOONET will create a world class collaborative network of workers with diverse complementary skills.An important product of our research will be the establishment of new approaches for studying basic biological processes in diverse organisms, strengthening European research in the area of 'Genomics and Biotechnology for Health' as well as a better understanding of biodiversity, suppporting research in the area of 'Global Change and Ecosystems'.
