user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Control of flexible structures and fluid-structure interactions'.

assistant: **Concept**

We propose to develop systems and control theory needed to understand and control large flexible structures and fluid structure interactions. The beneficiaries are a group of 15 academics from the fields of modelling, control theory, distributed parameter systems and fluid dynamics, aeroelasticity, swimming and marine engineering, working in either mathematics or engineering departments, with strong links between us. We are located at 10 universities in the UK, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Israel. In addition, we have four partner universities in Canada, China, USA and France and 11 prestigious industry partners, mostly from Europe. We believe that our backgrounds and skills are sufficiently close so that we can (and do) communicate with ease, but also sufficiently distinct so that we can cover many aspects of this field, and hence (as a consortium) offer outstanding training to young researchers. We believe that this area will have a great impact on the technology of the future, as well as on our understanding of nature, and we are eager to train newscientists and engineers in this broad field. We believe that Science and Technology in Europe will greatly benefit from this research, and from the education and and knowledge that we will impart to a new generation of researchers. Our research plans are organized into five scientific work packages, which cover mathematical systems theory, modelling and model reduction, relevant aspects of control theory, and applications. The applications that we plan to investigate concern a wide range of flexible structures in interaction with fluids: wind turbines, aircraft wings, precision machine tools, vessels linked by cables as encountered in marine salvage operations and microscopic electromechanical devices.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'The behavioral, fMRI, and EEG profiles of multifocal attention', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The proposed project will investigate how selective attention is implemented in the architecture of the visual system. Using both behavioral and cognitive neuroscience methods, we will study attentional tracking of multiple objects that move independently in the visual field. Previous research has shown that the capacity to select and monitor multiple objects and their locations varies as a function of visual field: twice as many objects can be selectively tracked when presented bilaterally (i.e., in both left and right hemifields) compared to when they are presented unilaterally (i.e., within a single hemifield). These behavioral findings imply considerable independence of the attentional resources for each visual field, thereby challenging the traditional view of attention as a central, monolithic resource. We hypothesize that attentional tracking of independently moving objects is subserved by hemifield-specific attentional foci that (i) alter the suppressive profile of attention independently for each hemifield, and that (ii) these attentional foci are implemented in a dynamic parietal network that changes configuration depending on how attention is allocated in the visual field. Several experiments will be conducted using scalp recorded steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and behavioral responses in healthy adults with the goal of constructing a complete framework that explains attentional tracking and the mechanisms of multifocal attention. The project will significantly contribute to our understanding of basic attention and perception mechanisms and will also improve our understanding of human performance in many everyday situations that require us to pay attention to multiple items at the same time.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Promotion and consolidation of all RTD activities for renewable distributed generation technologies in the Mediterranean region'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The overall goal of the DISTRES co-ordination action project is to exchange and disseminate good practice developed in the field of renewable energy sources distributed generation (RES-DG) technologies by isolated research activities and perform studies an d/or analyses for the Mediterranean needs. DISTRES is a three year co-ordination action project. Since solar potential is an abundant commodity in the Mediterranean region the area of interest of DISTRES will be primarily on the electricity produced from solar energy (photovoltaic and/or solar thermal concentrating systems) from DG systems. DISTRES specific scientific and technological objectives may be summarised as (a) to co-ordinate RTD projects in RES-DG technologies, (b) to promote the electricity gene ration from solar energy, photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar thermal systems, paving the way for pilot systems and products, (c) to produce capacity building methodologies and (d) to disseminate the results as widely as possible in the Mediterranean count ries and in the EU. DISTRES work program is organised into five integrated work-packages (WP). Three of these WPs contain review work and workshops organisation, whilst the fourth WP covers capacity building and dissemination including a conference organisation. The last WP concerns the project management and the coordination of DISTRES activities. The consortium set-up has participants from 11 countries, 6 from within Europe, plus Mediterranean partners from Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine. DISTRES provides the opportunity for the EU to establish clear leadership in the area of RES-DG research efforts on solar thermal and PV systems.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'The selves we could have been: the impact of alternative professional identities on career choices and work-life balance' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In 2000, Monster.com launched a TV commercial campaign based on an adaptation of Robert Frost’s poem, “The road not taken”. The company website explained: “We’ve created a spot which we hope will really get you thinking about the career choices you’ve made and more importantly, about the ones you haven’t.” Why does a prominent career management company try to make us wonder about the road not taken? The reason is that our current career path is influenced by our images of who we could have been if we had traveled a different career path. These images are called “alternative professional identities” (APIs), a construct that is introduced to social sciences in the fellow’s dissertation. This proposal extends this innovative line of research to explore the effects of APIs on two issues of great interest for researchers, educators, career counselors, policy makers, and the working population at large: career choices and work-family balance. Career paths in Europe are progressively more sinuous, traversing several organizations, occupations, industries, and countries; careers today require therefore frequent and difficult decisions. Moreover, the workforce composition in Europe has changed dramatically, the majority of employees are members of dual-career couples, and the majority of children grow up in households with two working parents. Consequently, work-family conflict has become prevalent, as reflected in the attention it has received from the popular press, policy makers, and social science researchers. The research outlined in this proposal combines qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods to offer insight into how people can utilize their APIs to make better career decisions and achieve a better work-family balance.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Mechanisms of epha4 signalling in axon guidance and synaptic plasticity.' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The two objectives of this proposal have been designed to dissect the complex phenotype of the EphA4 knock-out on the nervous system using innovative transgenic mouse strategies.1) Analysis, in vivo, of the intracellular mechanisms whereby EphA4 regulates axon guidance during nervous system development. The study will be accomplished by a knock - in strategy sing different EphA4 mutants, some of which will be generated during this proposal. Primary cultures of cortical or hippocampal neurons from these mutant mice will be used to perform an exhaustive and comparative analysis of the intracellular signaling pathways activated by each of the EphA4 mutant receptors. These results will be correlated with the in vivo axon guidance defects observed in each mutant to evaluate the relevance of specific intracellular pathways activated by EphA4 on axonal outgrowth.2) Analysis of the role of EphA4 in synaptic plasticity and learning in the adult animal. This second part of the project will be accomplished by a conditional knockout strategy in which the expression of EphA4 will be specifically deleted from the forebrain of adult animals. This strategy avoids the locomotors deficiencies that appear during development of EphA4 knock-out mice that could affect behavioral tests. This study aims to provide important information to the poorly studied role of the Eph/ephrin system in the physiology of the adult brain.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Identity-by-descent method for the genetic fine-mapping of quantitative trait loci - 'QTL' in livestock' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of the present proposal is to evaluate a novel method for the genetic fine-mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) underlying economically important traits, in livestock, based on within-and across-breed identity-by-descent (IBD).  Major efforts are presently being devoted to the genetic mapping of QTL underlying production traits in the different livestock species. Results of the first whole genome scans in pigs (Andersson et al., Science, 263:1771-1774, 1994) and cattle (Georges et al., Genet;cs 139:907-920, 1995) convincingly demonstrate that tbis endeavours will very likely be succesful and yield a large number of mapped loci in the near future. This opens the way towards the exploitation of these results in more efficient Marker Assisted Selection schemes, another intense area of animal science research. The increasing palticipation of the concerned industries in these projects testifies of their growing interest in what is likely to become a indispensable tool in future breeding programs aimed at increasing the efficiency of animal production.  Efficient utilisation of the mapped QTL in breeding programs, however, as well as the ultimate positional cloning of the corresponding genes, requires a higher mapping resolution than what is presently being achieved. Within the constraints of the present experimental designs, Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) are often mapped to support intervals that are several tens of centimorgan large, corresponding to several tens of millions of base pairs and several hundreds if not thousands of possible candidate genes.  To overcome the resolution limits of the present QTL mapping methods, we therefore propose to evaluate a novel strategy to fine-map QTL segregating in outbred populations. The proposed strategy exploits t

user: Describe how 'Vector Control for Visceral and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) & cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are parasitic diseases transmitted to humans by the bite of infected insects (sand flies). VL is fatal if not treated and CL may cause facial disfigurement both are more likely to affect children under 15 years old in European as well as S. Mediterranean countries. Precise figures are not available but reports suggest that between 36,000 & 65,000 cases may occur in endemic Mediterranean (including European) countries annually. The proportion of VL cases varies from 3 to over 40% depending on the country. The EU and WHO recognise the significance of the health problem and have called for research to develop innovative tools to control sand flies as vaccines are not available.  This project addresses the concerns of the EU and WHO by developing an alternative vector control strategy that targets the insects responsible for transmitting VL and CL, leading to reduced disease transmission. This project will determine through lab and field based behavioural and chemical studies if sex pheromones are present in Phlebotomus perniciosus and P. papatasi (vectors of VL & CL) and determine if they have practical applications. This approach is also being used by the Keele research group, funded by the Wellcome Trust, to develop sex pheromone based strategies for controlling the S. American vector of VL, Lutzomyia longipalpis.  The success of the project depends of the complimentary skills of the MC IIF and the research group at Keele University. The MC IIF has significant skills in maintaining colonies, handling and understanding the insects behaviour. The Keele group has significant ability to isolate, identify and synthesize insect sex pheromones and to translate the results of bench research into practical outcomes.  This

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Wheat - quality effects of stress treatments, their manipulation and control.' (1998-2002) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

90 million tonnes of wheat are grown in the eu per year but the quality of thewheat is affected by environmental stress factors experienced by the growing crop. Adverse quality effects may reduce the marketability of grain for premium grade use such as bread making and starch production. Grain of improved quality could replace grain imported into the eu. By determining the pathways and signals of stress transmission within a growing wheat plant, and by understanding how they affect genetically controlled switches in the plant, pre-treatments may be devised that would enable the plant to withstand environmental stresses likely to occur during the season. Alternatively, treatments could be applied after the stresses had been experienced in order to mollify the effects on grain quality. By monitoring the environmental growing conditions in the field, a farmer may be able i'o counteract the effects of stresses before damage is done.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'ERNCIP CBRNE STANDARDS 2017 and 2018 – support to Mandate 487' (2014-2020), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The primary aim of this project is to improve the detection of CBRN-E substances in Europe  by enhanced cooperation among European research laboratories, advancing common technology standards or detection processes. This goal will be achieved through four work packages, each addressing a specific CBRN-E issue. These work packages will be formed around an ERNCIP thematic group, which will undertake pre-normative assessment on the topics identified as having a priority need, driven by the current security threats faced in the EU. The proposed thematic groups for this CBRN-E Standards project are:•Chemical & biological risks to drinking water – Water Security Plan•Radiological and nuclear threats to critical infrastructure – remote expert support & novel detection technologies•Risk assessment and mitigation of explosive threats against structures and soft targets •Vehicle screening against explosive and weapons threats at checkpoints – CEN Workshop Agreement. In order to provide oversight across all these work packages, there will also be a management work package covering the ERNCIP Office’s specific activities which will oversee all the other work packages. Each thematic group will undertake pre-normative assessment to identify the current issues associated with the topic, and what options might exist for further harmonisation activities that would improve the security of the EU, and/or help the EU market for security products. In some cases, this may lead to recommendations for specific harmonisation activities, such as changes to existing standards, or even proposals for new standards. Other possible paths that could be identified include a CEN/CENELEC workshop agreement; recommendations for further research, recommendations for EU policy, or even recommending that no
