user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Semiconductor laser with photonic crystal reflector for energy-efficient optical links' (SELAPHOR) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Our information society relies to an unprecedented extent on broadband communication technologies with applications such as high-speed internet access, cloud computing, data services, multimedia broadcast systems etc. The amount of data processed by data centers continues to grow with a steep progression. We are unused to considering the energy cost of light communication, but it is huge, matching the airline industry. To meet the need for increased bandwidth, compactness, reduced power consumption and cost effectiveness, we will develop new optical sources with narrow linewidth, high-speed frequency modulation and reduced power consumption that can be utilised in modern optical links. The SELAPHOR project targets (a) the training of  a young researcher in the field of photonic devices, optical communications and research  commercialisation;  (b) the development of novel low cost optical sources to allow both compactness and reduced power consumption of  spectrally efficient optical links; and (c) the industrial validation and commercialising of the developed technology.  The training programme for the researcher includes new skills in the design and fabrication of single-mode tunable sources with direct frequency modulation, characterisation and optimisation of the laser performance, and implementation of the advanced sources into telecom links. In addition, strong commercialisation and entrepreneurial skills will be developed, with keen interest from the SME partner ensuring focus on an industrial roadmap.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Even though composite materials are more and more used in modern airframes, many significant improvements are still achievable. Firstly, the substitution of the assembly of many small composite parts by a single one-shot large part provides additional weight reduction. Secondly, the final assembly line process must be adapted to composite properties (lack of ductility, stiffness). Thirdly, if the appropriate level of confidence and cycle time was available, Simulation-based design would provide a faster and less expensive path to find the optimal structures than the current development process, which relies on physical tests. Lastly, more conductive composites are necessary to avoid additional weight for system protection. The aim of MAAXIMUS (More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, & Mature nUmerical Sizing) is to demonstrate the fast development and right-first-time validation of a highly-optimised composite airframe. The MAAXIMUS objectives related to the highly-optimised composite airframe are: 50% reduction of the assembly time of large composite sections; 10% reduction of manufacturing & assembly recurring costs; 10% reduction of the structural weight. The MAAXIMUS objective related to a faster development is to reduce by 20% the current development timeframe of aircraft structures and by 10% the corresponding cost. The MAAXIMUS objective related to the right-first-time structure is to additionally reduce the airframe development costs by 5% through the delivery of a predictive virtual test capability for large composite structures with a quantified level of confidence, to avoid late and costly changes This will be achieved through coordinated developments on a physical platform, to develop and validate the appropriate composite technologi

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Acclimatization scenarios and early warning system of temperature-related mortality in Europe' (ACCLIM).

assistant: **Innovation**

The research proposed in this project is focused on the study of one of the most challenging and potentially-dangerous impacts of climate in European societies: the mortality associated with environmental temperatures in the current context of global warming. The research objectives of the proposal are (i) the description of the dependency between counts of deaths and climate variables contributing to increased body stress, (ii) the inference of future projections of mortality under scenarios of increased greenhouse gas concentrations, (iii) the study of the effect of adaptation measures on these projections, and (iv) the development of an early warning system of mortality risk as a climate service for European societies. During the implementation of all these objectives, the main results and conclusions of the research will be communicated to the general public and disseminated in specialized circles within and outside the research field. The research and methodology here proposed are clearly innovative, given that the project will integrate climate information and tools with unprecedented high-quality mortality and sociodemographic data in a multidisciplinary approach that will take into account the degree of adaptability of human societies and individuals to scenarios of increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. In this sense, the design of the proposal clearly fits into the main guidelines and objectives defined by the European Commission in the work programme of the initiative Horizon 2020, which contributes to the generation of climate services that provide useful guidance to health care systems, governments and policy makers throughout Europe.

user: Describe how 'Experimental Searches for Oscillating and Transient effects from the Dark Sector' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of the proposed project is to pioneer a magnetometry-based experimental framework for the detection of time-varying signatures of the ‘dark sector’. This novel approach will enable systematic searches for particles contributing to the dark matter and for dark-energy components.The nature of dark matter and that of dark energy are among the central open problems in modern physics. There are only few experimental bounds and so far no conclusive observations of dark-sector particles or fields. Experiments enabling a direct coupling to the dark sector and thus a systematic search for and study of the contributing particles and fields would open up new vistas for areas ranging from particle physics to astrophysics and cosmology, and would in particular provide insights into the physics beyond the Standard Model.Here, we propose a framework for such experimental searches based on high-precision magnetometers, and networks thereof. Our approach is distinct from existing efforts in two ways. First, it will enable searches for so-far unexplored couplings to ultra-light bosonic particles present in the Universe that could be components of dark matter and/or dark energy, in particular axions and axion-like particles (ALPs). Second, we will develop and use devices and methods tailored to search for oscillating and transient, rather than time-independent, effects. Specifically, we will use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques for detecting spin precession caused by background axion and ALP dark matter, and geographically separated magnetometers for identify transient effects, such as crossing domain walls of ALP fields, which have been proposed as a possible dark-energy component.The devices and methods developed in the framework of this project will provide the

user: Describe how 'Knowledge-based multi-scale modelling of metal-oxide-polymer interface behaviour for micro- and nanoelectronics' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Micro- and nano-electronic components are multi-scale in nature, caused by the huge scale differences of the individual materials and components in these products. Consequently, product behaviour is becoming strongly dependent on material behaviour at the atomic scale. To prevent extensive trial-and-error based testing for new technology developments, new powerful quantitative knowledge-based modelling techniques are required. Current continuum-based finite element models rely intrinsically on extensive characterisation efforts to quantify the parameters present in these models (‘top-down’ approach). On the other hand, state-of-the-art models at atomic scale are able to describe the material behaviour at molecular level, but predictions at product scale are not feasible yet. Through direct coupling of molecular and continuum models, a multi-disciplinary approach in which experimentally validated multi-scale modelling methods will be developed in order to generate new materials and interfaces for System-in-Package (SiP) products with tailored properties and improved reliability within an industrial environment. In this approach, a user-friendly software tool will be realised which incorporates chemical, physical and electrical information from the atomic level into macroscopic models (‘bottom-up’ approach). Furthermore, new and efficient micro- and nano-scale measurement techniques are developed for obtaining detailed information about the most important phenomena at micro- and nano-scale and fast characterisation and qualification of SiPs. An additional important distinguishing part of this project is that, due to the composition of the consortium, the whole industrial development chain is covered: from material development, multi-scale models and experimental methods t

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Elucidating the molecular mechanism of NOD2-mediated autophagy' (2007-2013), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

NOD2 is an intracellular pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) expressed in monocyte lineage and intestinal epithelial cells. NOD2 recognizes muramyldipeptide (MDP), a component of bacterial cell walls and MDP stimulation induces a signalling cascade that synergises with that of other PRRs to mature dendritic cells (DCs) and renders them competent for antigen presentation. NOD2 is notable in that variants of the receptor are associated with 40% of western Crohn’s (CD) disease. Previously Dr Simmons group has shown that NOD2 induces autophagy in dendritic cells and that this is required for correct antigen presentation and bacterial handling. CD patient DCs expressing variant NOD2 show defective autophagy induction, impaired bacterial handling and antigen presentation. This combination of effects could predispose to inflammation by allowing abnormal persistence of bacterial components in the mucosa. Here, the aim is to investigate the mechanism of NOD2-mediated autophagy and to examine NOD2 interacting proteins pre- and post- stimulation with MDP. Furthermore, siRNA library screening will be used to identify genes that participate in the NOD2 autophagy pathway. Elucidating the special features of NOD2-mediated autophagy is essential to develop targeted immunomodulators of this pathway.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Active aeroelastic aircraft structure (3AS)' (3AS) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposed project will develop and evaluate design concepts to improve aircraft efficiency through exploitation of airframe aero elastic deformations. These concepts will ensure optimum efficiency at all flight and payload conditions through continual adjustment of the aircraft shape. Exploitation of the aero elastic behavior will enable the use of aerodynamic loads to produce the required deformations. Considerable reductions in structural weight, size of stabilizer surfaces, aerodynamic drag, and design loads will be possible. After initial evaluation of possible design approaches, selected concepts will be applied to several aircraft configurations. An important part of the project will concentrate on the performance and feasibility of new smart materials and the development of new actuation systems. The most promising concepts will be validated by wind tunnel tests. A database will be created to describe the aero elastic impacts and results from the programme.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Understanding human action from unstructured 3D point clouds using deep learning methods'.

assistant: **Concept**

Human action recognition and forecasting is an integral part of autonomous robotic systems that require human-robot interaction as well as other engineering problems. Action recognition is typically achieved using video data and deep learning methods. However, other tasks, e.g. classification, showed that it is often beneficial to additionally use 3D data. Namely, 3D point clouds that are sampled on the surfaces of objects and agents in the scene. Unfortunately, existing human action recognition methods are somewhat limited, motivating the following research. In this action, we describe a new class of algorithms for 3D human action recognition and forecasting using a deep learning-based approach. Our approach is novel in that it extends a recent body of work on action recognition from 2D to the 3D domain which is particularly challenging due to the unstructured, unordered and permutation invariant nature of 3D point clouds. Our algorithms use the global and local statistical properties of 3D point clouds along with a 3D convolutional neural network to devise novel multi-modal representation of human action. It is inherently robust to spatial changes in the 3D domain, unlike previous works which rely on the 2D projections. In practice, deep learning methods allow us to learn an inference model from real-world examples. A common methodology for action recognition includes creating an annotated dataset, training an inference model and testing its generalization. Our research objectives cover all of these tasks and suggest novel methods to tackle them. Overall, the proposed research offers a new point of view for these long-standing problems, and with the vast related work in other domains, it may bridge the gap to arrive at a generalizable, effective and efficient 3D human

assistant: **Innovation**

Proposal title* VessConnect “Plug & Flow” innovative technology providing every year to 270.000 European patients a safer, more effective and less costly procedure for vascular anastomosisACRONYM:PLUGandFLOWFree keywords vascular anastomosis, microvascular anastomosis, microsurgery, NiTiNol, advanced materials, bio-absorbable Shape Memory Polymers, Advanced Material Innovation applied to surgical device, microsurgery  Abstract:Vascular anastomosis, the surgical union of two blood vessels, has been technically performed in the same way for the last 100 years: suturing both ends of the vessels with microsutures. Even though several devices have appeared to ease the proceeding, none of them could improve traditional techniques. The result is a time-consuming procedure, with a long learning curve, which is not widely spread in private health systems because of its dangers and lack of efficiency and reliability. Surg Solution’s, is a start-up company founded by two surgeons, one bio-medical engineer and a business consultant, that has designed, prototyped and solicited a PCT patent for a device, VessConnect, that will reduce costs and probabilities of failure in anastomosis procedures. The product, a stent-like device, relies on the shape-memory characteristics of NiTiNol.Vascular anastomosis is a widely spread surgical procedure used in organ transplants and general reconstruction surgery, among others. Vessconnect has the potential to impact on the health improvement of the 270.000 European patients that we estimate need a surgery involving an anastomosis every year. Surg Solution aims to gain with VessConnect, 45% market-share of microvascular anastomosis in top European Markets in 5 years, generating €18M on revenues by 2021 with a 77% EBITDA margin.VessConnect is at TRL

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'BIO-inspired NAcre-like materials FOR the next generation of conservation treatments in stone ART works' (BIONA4ART).

assistant: **Concept**

The degradation of our rich stone cultural heritage (CH) represents an irreversible loss; an issue that has become urgent due to the increase of natural decay caused by climate change and the impact of atmospheric pollution and/or the current use of inappropriate treatments against stone weathering. The main challenge of BIONA4ART project will be to address this issue within an innovative framework in the conservation science: i) the development of a new generation of bioinspired nacre-like composites with self- healing and antimicrobial properties; and ii) its validation as stone conservation treatments with the aid of advanced characterization techniques. Thereby this research is marked by an interdisciplinary approach involving material science, biomaterials, physics, chemistry, petrophysics and CH conservation. In order to develop the proposed research the applicant  will acquire new research skills by partnering her with the three specialized institutions involved: the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) (supervisor Prof. R. Fort, world-renowned expert in the stone CH conservation), the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) (supervisor: Prof. H. Fairbrother, expert in nanocomposites, environmental implications and applications of nanomaterials), and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P), (supervisor Dr. S. Weber, internationally recognized expert in the use and development of SFM methods to study the underlying physics of nanoscale systems). The new knowledge and transferable skills gained during the project coupled with the opening of an innovative and exciting research line in the stone-CH field, will be an ideal springboard for the applicant´s subsequent career, which is to become a fully independent academic researcher in a top european university

user: Explain how 'HOUGHTON MILL: A NOVEL INTEGRATION OF HYDROPOWER WITH FLOOD CONTROL' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

To demonstrate the potential economic and technical advantages and feasibility of the following: integrating hydro-electric generation units into a water level management structure; modernising an historic waterpower site; exploiting an ultra low head hydro site, using low cost, hydropower units. Further, the project aims to promote renewable energy, through linking the turbines to a permanent exhibition in the mill. The project will also provide a precedent for a unique collaboration of a river regulatory authority with a turbine manufacturer and a site owner.lnnovative aspects: modernising an historical waterpower site; integrating hydropower units into a water level management structure; exploiting an ultra-low head site; use of innovative, low-cost modular hydropower units.Expected energy saving: 6.66 GWh. Expected payback time: 11.9 years.The proposed site is Houghton Mill, in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, UK. The Mill lies on the Great River Ouse. The Mill is owned and administered by the National Trust (NT), and is open to the public. Currently there are 8,000 visitors a year to the Mill, and when the planned developments are completed, 15,000 visitors per annum are expected.The Mill is a historic waterpower site, originally used for cornmilling. The mill was closed in 1930, and the two breastshot waterwheels were removed, for flood alleviation, and replaced by automatic sluices within the mill races. These sluices are now controlled by the Environment Agency (EA). As part of national heritage lottery funding to develop the site, the sluice on the north side of the mill is to be removed, to make way for the re-instatement of a breastshot waterwheel. To maintain the flood defence capability of the site, a new sluice needs to be built close to the mill.To link up wit
