user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The role of fibulins in cancer -value as prognostic indicators' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

An extensive range of contemporary molecular and cellular biology facilities will be made available to the Grant Applicant, along with the appropriate scientific and clinical expertise necessary to complete the project. With respect to the Grant Applicant's training, he will be able to acquire new scientific skills and techniques, such as chromosomal mapping, gene isolation and structure determination etc. The Grant Applicant will also have the opportunity to further refine the skills and expertise that he has attained during his initial fellowship. From the point of view of the Host Institute, the combined basic/applied nature of the project is of considerable appeal and in keeping with the research directions of University College Dublin. The fostering of links between basic science and clinical departments, as proposed here is also of interest to the Host. The project is considered by the Host to be highly innovative and timely. Industrial interest in this area is also significant, as evidenced by a recent patent application by Rhône-Poulenc Rorer in which the Grant Applicant is designated as a co-inventor. The proposed study would form the basis of a more long- term examination of the suitability of fibulas as novel targets for diagnostics and therapeutics, to be carried out by the Grant Applicant once re-housed in his country of origin.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Material Constraints Enabling Human Cognition'.

assistant: **Concept**

Recent breakthroughs in comparative neurobiological research highlight specific features of the connectivity structure of the human brain, which open new perspectives on understanding the neural mechanisms of human-specific higher cognition and language. In delineating the material basis of human cognition and language, neurobiologically founded modelling appears as the method of choice, as it allows not only for external fitting of models to key experimental data, but, in addition, for internal or material fitting of the model components to the structure of brains, cortical areas and neuronal circuits. This novel research pathway offers biologically well-founded and computationally precise perspectives on addressing exciting hitherto unanswered fundamental questions: How can humans build vocabularies of tens and hundreds of thousands of words, whereas our closest evolutionary relatives typically use below 100? How is semantic meaning implemented for gestures and words, and, more specifically, for referential and categorical terms? How can grounding and interpretability of abstract symbols be anchored biologically? Which features of connectivity between nerve cells are crucial for the formation of discrete representations and categorical combination? Would modelling of cognitive functions using brain-constrained networks allow for better predictions on brain activity indexing the processing of signs and their meaning? This project will use novel insights from human neurobiology translated into mathematically exact computational models to find new answers to long-standing questions in cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy. Models replicating structural differences between human and non-human primate brains will help delineate mechanisms underlying specifically hu

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Coastal ecosystem carbon balance in times of rapid glacier melt' (CoastCarb) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Climate change and intensifying human resource use are causing massive changes to Subantarctic coastal systems and carbon cycling. At the same time, these systems house benthic communities of highest biomass and biodiversity, which sustain important ecosystem services and require strategic observation and management plans. Although they are just beginning to be appreciated by scientists and public, natural (climate mitigation) and cultural ecosystem services (e.g. local fisheries, tourism, sustainable aquaculture) are already jeopardized by the massive scale and velocity of the regional change in Southern Patagonia (SP) and at the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). The multidisciplinary network CoastCarb joins experts in Subantarctic coastal system ecology and ecological modelling to create a knowledge information system with open access data portal and produce dynamic ecosystem models for fjordic and estuarine environments. Using data on carbon budgets and flow (including benthic and pelagic food webs, microbes to megafauna) from across the network, specialists will analyse the relationships between ecosystem services, local stakeholders and communities, to identify barriers and enablers of the sustainable use of marine resources. Study areas along the fragmented SP/WAP coastline are intensively investigated. Data sets from more than 10 recent interdisciplinary research projects of CoastCarb participants, and from the scientific core programmes at coastal stations (ARG-GER Carlini-Dallmann, US Palmer, UK Rothera, PL Arctowski) will be used for knowledge compilation. The established network is based on German, Belgian, Dutch, British, Argentine, Chilean and US participants with new Polish and Canadian partners included.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Accountability and Public Policy Audit in the European Union'.

assistant: **Concept**

There is growing crisis of confidence among EU citizens in the democratic accountability of the EU and its institutions. There is uncertainty among many political actors about the added vale of EU policies paid for via the EU budget. More than ever, the EU must demonstrate the chains and mechanisms of accountability vis-à-vis its member states and their general publics as to the correct and effective use of taxpayers’ money. The EU budget also remains a mystery to many Europeans, with ordinary citizens unclear about who is supposed to ‘give account’, for what and to whom. Reports in the media on audited expenditure often centres in a fixated way on a percentage error rate, ignoring the bigger picture of who should be made accountable and how. Ex-post budgetary discharge has itself become a ‘short cut’ for accountability. Audit is meant to be a shared governance arrangement with the member states but there is ambiguity over roles and a negative perception of the EU institutions’ ability to deliver policy effectively, in a way that represents value for money.APPLAUD (Accountability and Public Policy Audit in the European Union) will analyse the institutionalisation of audit. It will examine the structures through which the EU has come to ‘give account’ of its public policies, but also how institutions themselves have shaped what we understand by ‘accountability’ in the EU. The results will be an enhanced understanding of the link between accountability and institutionalisation, and the evolution of the Court’s role and practice. The project will contribute to key debates in public policy on government and accountability, and to the state-of-the-art by bringing new theoretical, methodological and empirical dimensions to the study of financial control in the EU since the 19

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Toxin Production in Cyanobacteria' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In many lakes and rivers toxic cyanobacteria are found. This causes severe problems for recreation and drinking water production. The toxicity of cyanobacteria is found to be highly vanable. Toxic blooms can change ftom toxic to non-toxic and vise versa. It is not clear how far this is caused by a succession of toxic and non-toxic strains within one species or, by the changes in toxicity of one population. Morphological analyses and physiological knowledge cannot give a solution here. Little is known of the relation of this toxin with the food-web in fresh waters. Is this toxin produced to prevent grazing, what is the distribution of this toxin in the food-web. In the synthesis of Microcystin the toxin produced by the cyanobacterium Microcystis the enzyme microcystin-synthetase plays a crucial role. Recently two institutes of this network have sequenced the genes if this enzyme. With this information it becomes possible to produce probes and construct-strains which are extremely important tools for physiological and ecological research concerning toxin production in continuous cultures and in natural systems. In this mul- tidisciplinary research programme molecular biological tools will be developed and used to unravel the condi- tions under which this toxin is produced and what its influence is on thefood-web of the natural systems. A network-programme has been developed to train young post-docs to incorporate molecular biological, physiological and ecological theories and techniques to study one problem: toxin production in cyanobacteria. - The programme contains training on the job, short training couses, working visits, and an 8 week workshop. Important topics are: - The production of DNA-probes and reporter strains to be used in physiology and ecology to recognize

user: Describe how 'Casimir Self-Assembly out of Equilibrium' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Self-assembly is an important area of research that has numerous practical applications, including in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. Despite its widespread use, conventional self-assembly is limited, especially in terms of complexity, scalability, and dynamical control. In this context, a promising solution to these challenges is the use of Casimir self-assembly, which leverages the fundamental physics of the Casimir effect. The Casimir effect refers to the force that arises between two closely spaced metallic plates in free space, which results from zero-point fluctuations of the quantum vacuum. This effect can be harnessed for self-assembly by engineering the surface properties of the plates and the surrounding environment.In my proposal, I will utilize the interplay between fundamental quantum electrodynamics, Casimir physics, strong light-matter interactions, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics to develop a new, highly controlled, versatile and unique form of self-assembly. Crucially, the employed methodology enables the observation of the Casimir effect in aqueous solutions at room temperature with unprecedented precision of 1 nm. This method can be combined with micro- and nanofluidics, frustrated and templated self-assembly approaches, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Additionally, the unique combination of self-assembled Fabry-Pérot microcavities and the creation of nano-channels with exceptional material and heat transport properties further enhances the methodology's versatility. By combining these fields, I aim to create a new type of self-assembly that overcomes the limitations of conventional methods, providing greater complexity, flexibility, and dynamical control. In doing so, I will open up new avenues for fundament

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Fabrication of capacitive biosensors using the Laser Induced Forward Transfer process' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Biosensor research has blossomed into a mature and highly active field over the past 20 years, both in the laboratory and in the commercial sector. This area attracts enormous attention due to the promise it holds for vital aspects of the human life. The proposed work aims to fabricate a capacitive biosensor, which will be able to perform label-free and fast biodetection based on very small biological samples. We will use the Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) process for the deposition of biomolecules on the sensor surface. The use of the LIFT technique allows for excellent size control of the deposited samples, as well as repeatability and miniaturization. The use of a capacitive transducer, with an ultra thin silicon membrane acting as one of the capacitor plates, will allow for high sensitivity and low-power operation. The biosensor will be tested with simple binding reactions as well as DNA hybridization. Eventually this sensor can be used with thousands of analytes, such as proteins, different DNA strands, and pathogens. Each step of the fabrication process allows for miniaturization, therefore this biosensor will be a prime candidate for microarray integration in the future. The host group has extensive expertise both in the implementation of the LIFT method and in the fabrication of capacitive sensors and is well-equipped for the proposed work. The researcher has degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics, while she did her Ph.D. on laser-matter interactions, and is a very good match for this project. This grant will allow the researcher to transfer knowledge from the USA, where she completed her graduate studies, to the European community and reintegrate as a permanent researcher in Europe.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Modern Approaches to Temperature Reconstructions in polar Ice Cores' (MATRICS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The recent anthropogenic global warming makes a detailed knowledge of variations in the Earth climate system and of the coupling processes between climate and biogeochemical cycles of pressing importance. Studies of climate changes in the past represent a vital part of climate change research which is essential to assess the current warming against the background of natural climate variability. Due to strong limitations in direct observations, climate reconstructions for the past can only be achieved using natural climate archives. The paleoclimatic archive in ice cores provides not only information on climate variability over many thousands of years in high resolution but also on greenhouse gases, aerosol concentrations and more. Crucial questions on climate variability on interannual to orbital time scales and on the coupling processes and teleconnections in the climate system remain still open. To answer these questions novel climate parameters on polar ice cores are needed that go beyond previous studies in terms of temporal resolution, spatial coverage as well as quantitative representativeness. This proposal intends to develop such methods based on latest advances in analytical techniques and to apply them to polar ice cores. The common theme of the new approaches within MATRICs is the reconstruction of new, quantitative temperature information from different regions of the Earth all on the same core avoiding crucial crossdating issues. This comprises (i) continuous quantitative reconstructions of local temperature changes on polar ice sheets in seasonal resolution using new approaches, (ii) estimates of climate changes in continental, not permanently ice covered regions based on concurrent changes in the methane cycle and (iii) a new physical ice core gas thermom

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Swarms of self-assembling artefacts'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The SWARM-BOTS project is about the design and implementation of self-organising and self-assembling artefacts called swarm-bots. The approach will be inspired by recent studies in swarm intelligence, that is, by studies of the self-organising and self-assembling capabilities shown by social insects and other animal societies. The main scientific goal of the project is a better understanding of swarm intelligence principles and of the use of these principles in engineering, while the main tangible goal is the demonstration of the validity of the approach followed by means of the construction of at least one such artefact. The expected results are therefore the further development of the swarm intelligence discipline, and the design and construction of a first example of swarm-bot, that is, an artefact composed of a number of simpler robots capable of self-assembling and self-organising to adapt to its environment. OBJECTIVESThe main scientific objective of the SWARM-BOTS project is to study a novel approach to the design and implementation of self-organising and self-assembling artefacts. This novel approach finds its theoretical roots in recent studies in swarm intelligence, that is, in studies of the self-organising and self-assembling capabilities shown by social insects and other animal societies. The main tangible objective of the project is the demonstration of the approach by means of the construction of at least one such artefact. We intend to construct a swarm-bot, that is, an artefact composed of a number of simpler, insect-like, robots (s-bots), built out of relatively cheap components, capable of self-assembling and self-organising to adapt to its environment.DESCRIPTION OF WORKThe work will see the co-ordinated interplay of four main activities: (i) the des

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Towards a Sociology of Loss: Disposals and dead-ends in Lineages of Social Innovation and Change'.

assistant: **Concept**

This study aims to provide a new understanding of how losses, disposals and dead-ends shape the direction of social change at moments of rupture, and to develop a formal theory of social loss. Sociologists have shown that people respond to crises by reconfiguring cultural understandings, narratives of self and social relationships. However, we have not paid sufficient attention to how what is disposed of shapes future pathways. LINLOSS will address this gap in the sociological imagination. It will develop new explanations of how loss generates change at multiple, intersecting societal scales: in the transformation of cultural and institutional patterns across generations; within changing configurations of relationships across genealogies and social networks; and in the reconstruction of pasts and futures within biographies. The research will be a comparative, cross-national community study of two ‘exurban’ districts in Ireland and Poland. The main form of data collection will be mixed biographical interviews, combining unstructured and formal elements, connected within genealogical support networks. The analysis will take place across two iterations: a comparative analysis to trace the effects of breaks and losses within and between social lineages at multiple scales; and a thematic analysis to identify how instances of loss are tied together by a common social pattern. We live in ‘unsettled times,’ when it is essential that sociologists provide insights on how pathways of social loss and renewal lead to variations and resilience to new challenges, for individuals, families and communities. If successful, the study will make a significant contribution towards this goal. It will deliver a methodological breakthrough in pioneering methods for the analysis of dynamic, mult
