user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'A virtual geomechanics laboratory for clay'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Natural clays are fascinating materials, especially so-called quick clays, a major geohazard, which are natural soils that can have a sudden irreversible phase change from solid to liquid due to small perturbations in environmental conditions. The aim of the project is to gain understanding of the complex behaviour of natural sensitive clays, including quick clays, by creating a virtual CLAYLAB. CLAYLAB is a virtual geomechanics laboratory for probing the behavior of clays starting at the materials science scale by incorporating clay specific physics in Discrete Element Modelling (DEM), based on experimental image and force data that spans nm - m. The novel multi-scale experimental data available at the host institution is combined with micro-mechanical computational and theoretical methods such as adding Level Sets for shape to DEM with the expertise of the ER. By taking advantage of cutting-edge imaging techniques, such as X-ray Computed Tomography, where computer-based mathematical schemes such as level sets are applied to generate a unique “digital twin” for each particle. Furthermore, complementary data is gathered on the physico-chemical processes using a combination of X-ray scattering and Atomic Force Microscopy. Ultimately, a virtual CLAYLAB will be created, so that the digital samples match the physical behavior of their real counterparts at the engineering scale. CLAYLAB will enable us, for a first time, to understand the phenomena such as quick clay landslides, and enable us to probe into the materials response beyond what is possible when using laboratory techniques on their own. This understanding ultimately offers a platform to develop novel ground improvement ideas for landslide mitigation. Finally, CLAYLAB will help to ameliorate time consuming as well

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Continuous reactor/extractor for processing of solid materials with supercritical fluids (C-REX)' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

For many applications supercritical fluids can replace organic solvents. Continuous processing can greatly improve the economics of supercritical processes, but is so far restricted to fluid/fluid processes. This research project is aimed at the development of a new reactor/extractor (C-REX) in which solid materials can be handled in combination with supercritical fluids. The C-REX technology integrates unit operations such as sample pre-treatment, improved supercritical processing and related compound recovery into one continuous process. With C-REX many conventional, but also newly developed industrial processes that use organic solvents can be made suitable for the use of supercritical fluids. Initially, the project will be aimed at the application of supercritical fluids for extraction purposes. Later, the C-REX technology will be used for development of new processes using supercritical conditions, e.g., in the field of foaming, particle formation and chemical reaction.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Development of a Rotating Laser Tracking System to Enable Use of Multiple Machine Mounted Receivers Operating from a Single Source' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Existing grade technology consists of the use of a laser tracker where the laser acts as a grade checker and marks the cut fill corrections on the ground. This system can, however, take the grade from a particular set angle using a single beam. The development of this technology would be a major improvement on previous systems. The improvement can arise by the development of a rotating laser source with an automatic tracking beam which would enable the use of multiple machine mounted receivers operating from a single laser source. The result of the development of this system would be to provide more information to the excavation machines and thereby simplify and significantlyreduce the construction costs.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Intangible and Invisible Interests, Concealed Constituents and Excluded Electorates: Understanding the Politics of Absence' (INCONEX).

assistant: **Innovation**

Political representation is about presence and absence. Yet, does advocating for ‘the poor’ mean not advocating for ‘the rich’, representing rural interests not representing urban ones, and speaking for young people neglecting the concerns of the elderly? Political scientists have solid theories and empirics on who is made present in the political process, but lack an understanding of the politics of absence – who is made absent by whom, how, when, and why? Amid an urgent crisis of representation in modern democracies, this research uncovers crucial power dynamics (who & whom?), identifies inequalities (how, when & why?) and addresses policy gaps (what to do?). Building on the PI’s record of leading research on political representation, INCONEX fundamentally pushes the boundaries of the field: It is the first to develop a comprehensive conceptualization of representative absence. It identifies two agents of absence – representatives and citizens – and two types of absence – intentional and unintentional. Representatives can intentionally exclude groups from the electorate (e.g., migrants), but also unintentionally overlook them because their interests are intangible (e.g., future generations). Constituents may deliberately conceal themselves (e.g., ‘the rich’) or their interests remain invisible because they are unaware of their group belonging (e.g., ‘those in need’). Methodologically, INCONEX develops and applies qualitative and computational social science techniques to map presence and absence in national and EU-level parliamentary debate over time. To understand the mechanisms that shape different representative absences, INCONEX uses in-depth interviews with members of national parliaments (MPs) and the European Parliament (MEPs), and focus groups with their const

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Biomineral-inspired growth and processing of metal-organic frameworks', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This ERC-StG proposal, BIOMOF, outlines a dual strategy for the growth and processing of porous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, inspired by the interfacial interactions that characterise highly controlled biomineralisation processes. The aim is to prepare MOF (bio)-composite materials of hierarchical structure and multi-modal functionality to address key societal challenges in healthcare, catalysis and energy. In order for MOFs to reach their full potential, a transformative approach to their growth, and in particular their processability, is required since the insoluble macroscopic micron-sized crystals resulting from conventional syntheses are unsuitable for many applications. The BIOMOF project defines chemically flexible routes to MOFs under mild conditions, where the  added value  with respect to wide-ranging experimental procedures for the growth and processing of crystalline controllably nanoscale MOF materials with tunable structure and functionality that display significant porosity for wide-ranging applications is extremely high. Theme 1 exploits protein vesicles and abundant biopolymer matrices for the confined growth of soluble nanoscale MOFs for high-end biomedical applications such as cell imaging and targeted drug delivery, whereas theme 2 focuses on the cost-effective preparation of hierarchically porous MOF composites over several length scales, of relevance to bulk industrial applications such as sustainable catalysis, separations and gas-storage. This diverse yet complementary range of applications arising simply from the way the MOF is processed, coupled with the versatile structural and physical properties of MOFs themselves indicates strongly that the BIOMOF concept is a powerful convergent new approach to applied materials chemistry.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Lichen biodiversity monitoring in the context of air pollution study, in the Alentejo region of Portugal' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content This study will investigate changes in lichen biodiversity caused by changes in air pollution in the Alentejo region, Portugal. The project pursues two main objectives. The first objective is to develop a lichen biodiversity monitoring scheme for the region. Our research will include: - to develop the effective sampling procedure for lichen measurement and to carry out field survey of lichens in the region; -assessment of lichen sensitivity to air pollution in the region; -construction of an Integrated Index of lichen biodiversity in the region with the highest resolution as it relates to air pollution change detection. The lndex will reflect two types of information, (I) the lichen community structure obtained from the field observation, and (2) estimates of lichen species sensitivity to atmospheric pollution. The second objective is to carry out staff training at the Centre of Applied Ecology (CEA). The two objectives of the research are complementary. Both are relevant to current concerns for assessment of ecological impacts and long-term ecological research. Minor changes in lichen biodiversity caused by air pollution that can be detected by the proposed early warning system are the first bell" warning for possible changes in exploited and natural ecosystems of the region. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact)? The main objective of the CEA staff training is to provide future functioning of the long-term lichen biodiversity monitoring system in thee Alentejo region, Portugal. This is a step to sustainable development of the region. Training will be provided in course of joint field work special field training, and in seminar form.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'GENETIC ENGINEERING OF CAROTENOID METABOLISM: A NOVEL ROUTE TO VITAMINS, COLORS AND AROMAS FOR THE EUROPEAN MARKET' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Carotenoid market, uses and health benefits Carotenoids are terpenoid pigments very widespread in nature. They are industriallyused as highly safe colourants of food and cosmetic preparations. In addition,beta-caroten is the dietary precursor of vitamin A. The market for purifiedcarotenoids is growing rapidly and it already exceeds 100 million US$/yr. Over90 % of the market is covered by expensive, chemically synthesized carotenoids,the remainder being obtained through fermentation of fungi or extraction fromplants (e.g. paprika extract).Carotenoid metabolites play also a role in aroma : the flavour of many plantproducts, such as tomato and saffron, is due to volatile derivatives of thexanthophyll oxidative metabolism. Consumers are becoming morehealth-conscious, increasing the potential consumption of antioxidant carotenoidsin the diet. USDA and the US National Cancer Institute recommend a daily intakeof 4-6 mg/day beta-carotene. In developed countries we eat between 1 and 1,5mg/day (Lachance, 1988), and in some third world countries this figure is below0.5 mg/day. For the above reasons, the biotechnological production of carotenoidmetabolites has a high potential impact on the market of speciality products. Thesame approach could solve the severe carotene shortages in some countries.Measurable objectives1. To enlarge the repertoire of available genes encoding specialized steps in carotenoid metabolism, that would allow the engineering in crops or microorganisms of high value compounds;2. To produce, by genetic engineering of widely cultivated crops and filamentous fungi (tomato, Phycomyces), high added value carotenoid metabolites involved in food colour and aroma (zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, crocetin, picrocrocin). To improve, by genetic engineering, the beta-carotene (

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Closing the loop for urban material flows', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

CityLoops brings together six ambitious European cities to demonstrate a series of innovative tools and urban planning approaches, aimed at closing the loops of urban material flows and increasing their regenerative capacity. Demonstration actions will be implemented in relation to construction/demolition waste, including soil, and organic waste.  During the inception phase, a circular city scan methodology and indicators will be developed and implemented in each city, by adapting current MFA and Urban Metabolism methods to include context-specific data and challenges, to adjust planned demonstration actions, provide an evaluation framework for the measures and monitor their progress towards a circular economy. A series of further innovative decision support tools will be developed (such as City Lab, a GIS based city planning tool, and a pre-demolition resource-mapping tool) for specific demonstration actions. In each city, a Local Stakeholder Partnership will be established at project outset, involving citizen groups, businesses communities, and other relevant partners, to guide planning and implementation. In each case, public procurement actions will also be analysed to assess potential supportive measures.    As the selected cities are small to medium sized cities (pop. 50,000 – 600,000), Apeldoorn, Bodø, Mikkeli, Porto, Seville and Roskilde/Høje-Taastrup, the tools, approaches and solutions demonstrated should be replicable in a large number of cities across Europe. Replication is embedded throughout the project. At city level, all demonstration cities will prepare scale-up plans. At a regional level Collaborative Learning Networks will be established, consisting of other municipalities, public bodies, and other relevant regional institutions, to prepare regional u
