the life cycle assessment of the sponge microbiome

sexual reproduction is one of the key processes conferring marine animals with resilience to environmental shifts since sponges are among the most important sessile organisms ensuring oceans health and their survival is threatened due to the increased water temperatures a clear understanding of their life cycles and reproductive processes is needed to determine the faith of marine ecosystems under the current global warming scenario sponges present intimate associations with bacteria which can represent up to 90 of the organismal volume provide fundamental nutrition to their hosts and have profound effects on the sponge physiology however the microbiome influence on sponge sexual reproduction has never been explored in this context cyclome aims to advance our understanding of the role of microbiomes on the sponge reproductive processes by using a multidisciplinary approach that will allow us to elucidate changes in microbiome composition functionality and metabolism through the whole annual cycle of gonochoristic male and female sponges by using modern next generation sequencing technology and cuttingedge omics techniques combined with traditional microscopical observations we expect to detect changes in the sponge bacterial communities and whether specific symbiont functions are upregulated or downregulated during the sponge life cycle influencing the production of sponge secondary metabolites we hypothesize that the possession of large microbial consortia provides the sponges with nutritional benefits allowing to support sexual reproductive strategies during high energetic demand periods as well as helping them to survive during periods of postreproduction recovery and overwinter when waters are more oligotrophic overall our study will provide a comprehensive view of basic biological processes that allow sponges to recruit and adapt to shifting conditions which will facilitate policy decisions regarding conservation of marine biodiversity
understanding opportunistic seaweed holobionts how the interaction with their microbiome modulates their metabolome

global change is expected to increase the arrival of opportunistic macroalgae as well as the rate and extent of blooming events causing severe negative impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems opportunistic macroalgae may represent a particularly interesting source of secondary metabolites as they adapt to highly variable environments and have a withstanding capacity to cope with environmental stressors valorization could be a key solution to transform this huge biomass of opportunistic species into a potential for biotechnological and socioeconomic innovation before this it is crucial to have a full understanding on how seasons life stage and environmental variability modify their metabolome and thus the quality of their biomass in this regard the holobiont perspective relationship of macroalgae with their microbiome is paramount to understand comprehensively the macroalgal ecophysiology and the environmental factors modulating their metabolome all along their lifecycle until their degradation holocweed aims to study opportunistic macroalgae as holobionts to 1 shed light on the opportunistic macroalgal ecophysiology 2 assess the intrinsic microbiome and extrinsic environment factors affecting the quality of their metabolome along their lifecycle and 3 assess the impact of massive macroalgal strandings on the surrounding seawater this work will require an interdisciplinary methodological approach gathering microscopy biochemistry metabolomics and metabarcoding to have a complete understanding of macroalgal holobionts the host institution facilities and expertise will be essential for stepping from fundamental research to applied research through the valorisation of macroalgae holocweed provides an original scientific approach to understand how opportunistic macroalgae thrive in a changing environment and assess how their massive degradation changes the seawater quality

ai powered characterization and modelling for green steel technology

the fourth industrial revolution and market demands for advanced steels are driving the research towards transformation of the manufacturing processes and to evermore sustainable steel compositions the conventional trial and error approach traditionally used to develop metallurgical processes still prevails in the industrial steel plants however it is a timeconsuming labourintensive process entailing high material waste and associated carbon emissions also it can ultimately lead down to a repetitive path that consists of creating a process design putting it into production and detecting possible process design flaws too late resulting in high component rejection rates ascertaining the inadvertent flaws in the manufacturing approach before its implementation on industrial lines could be the key to major cost savings with the introduction of ai and simulationdriven design backandforth interaction between part and process designs can be significantly diminishedthe main objective of aid4greenest is to develop six new ai based rapid characterization methods and modelling tools aid4greenest tools scope will cover the steel design chemistry and microstructure process design processing parameters product design processing and heat treatments and product performance creep stages proposed tools will be complemented with a roadmap designed to enable modelbased innovation processes from materials design to product development while considering the industry needs enhanced material quality reduction of carbon emission and waste generation and reduced supply risk of critical raw materials in order to facilitate the knowledge transfer of the characterization and modelling data generated in this project and across the wider european characterization and modelling community the project will also develop an open online platform based on a standardized and interoperable data management system and following the emmc emcc and emmo approach
designed by nature religious images produced by minerals plants and animals in western science and devotion 14th17th century

my project spotlights a category of religious images that has hitherto escaped scholarly investigation sacred representations that were believed to be a product of nature objects of this kindsuch as marble slabs whose veining suggested a silhouette of the virgin or plants whose shape recalled that of a crucifixgarnered considerable attention in late medieval and early modern christian culture regarded both as divine prodigies to be revered and as natural wonders to be investigated they were described and reproduced in travel accounts religious writings and natural history treatises combining sources and methods from art history religious studies and the history of science my research will chart the worldwide geography of these objects investigate their materiality and explore their embedding in late medieval and early modern christian culture in doing so it will deepen our understanding of the perception of natural environments and materials in western culture and of the evolution of historical ideas concerning the agencies of nature god and man in the shaping of the physical worldtwo internationally recognized research teams specializing in the geography and materiality of sacred art university of fribourg switzerland and in the relationship of visuality and nature ku leuven belgium will host the project during the outgoing and the return phase of a 3year global fellowship an additional secondment to uc davis california will enable me to develop a crucial stage of my research in collaboration with historians of science the outputs of the projectincluding webinars an online exhibition the first monograph on this subject and a series of lessons taught at ku leuvenwill counter the divide between stem fields and humanities by involving side by side scientists and historians will strengthen the engagement of art history in ecocriticism and will promote education on the connection between art and the environment
