user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Predicting eutrophication and climate change impacts on shallow lake ecology and biodiversity: disentangling the effects of temperature and nutrients'.

assistant: **Concept**

Increased nutrient concentrations in freshwater ecosystems have had profound impacts on their biodiversity, perhaps none more so than in shallow lakes. It may be that impacted systems such as these are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Increasing temperature and eutrophication are not only linked, but their impacts are similar and thus it has proven very difficult to disentangle their effects. It may be that analysis of rate of change may elucidate the effects of climate change and nutrient enrichment on shallow lake biodiversity, species turnover and ecosystem function. PRECISE seeks to determine the extent and rate of change in shallow lake biodiversity and ecosystem function resulting from eutrophication and climate change. To do this a longer-term perspective is vital, PRECISE consists of three approaches which encompass distinct combinations of climate and nutrient effects at a range of temporal scales. These are: large-scale mesocosm experiment; contemporary time series analysis; and palaeolimnogical analysis. The overarching aim is the determination of the effect of temperature and nutrient concentration on the extent and rate of change in the balance of benthic to pelagic production and biodiversity. This will be achieved by complementing on-going research generating biodiversity data with both direct measurement of algal crop (benthic and pelagic) and the determination of pathways of production by the analysis of stable isotopes. This will be done both in the mesocosm experiment (nutrient and temperature separate) and through time series analysis of observational data (temperature and nutrient together). A meta-analysis of an existing data from sediment cores will compare contemporary change (nutrients and climate together) with change associated with

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'GRAvitational waves from Neutron stars: Investigating Transient Emission' (GRANITE).

assistant: **Innovation**

In this research project we will perform the first search for a promising new type of gravitational-wave signal from neutron stars: medium-duration transients (MDTs). We will use data of unprecedented sensitivity from the new detectors Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. A successful detection will provide a novel test of gravity and unique insights into the structure of neutron stars.Gravitational waves (GWs) were predicted by Einstein a century ago, but are extremely hard to detect. Their first direct observation will herald the start of a new era in astronomy but requires specialised searches to extract the full astrophysical information about each source. Much effort already goes into the search for continuous waves (CWs) emitted by rotating neutron stars (NSs) with non-axisymmetric deformations, which should be observable over many years. Only very weak CWs are expected, but NSs can also emit relatively strong transient GWs on much shorter timescales. In this fellowship we will develop and implement the first practical search for signals spanning these extremes, bridging the gap between continuous and transient phenomena.Based on an explicit CW-like signal model, limited in duration, and on a Bayesian model selection approach, we will first construct an optimal detection method for medium-duration transient (MDT) signals taking into account astrophysical priors on transient GW emission from rotating NSs. Second, we will use synergies with established CW data-analysis methods to guarantee an efficient implementation and build on previous experience to account for complex detector noise properties. We will then apply these newly-developed methods to the best advanced-detector data available. This novel CW-based transient search will be the first to provide the ability

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Sensory feedback in the development of motor cortex: underlying physiological network mechanisms and its relation to epileptic discharges'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Early in development, spontaneous bursts of activity at the level of the spinal cord trigger spontaneous twitches of corresponding groups of muscles fibres. Twitching provides sensory feedback that generates specific neuronal oscillations in somatosensory cortex. The proposed project will address, in first line, if sensory feedback provided by spontaneous muscle twitches evokes specific patterns of neuronal activity in motor cortex. This could occur via functional projections arising from somatosensory cortex and/or thalamic nuclei, which have been demonstrated in adults. These activity patterns will be studied as substrates for the development of motor cortex, and their developmental changes will be characterized in relation to the formation of its main output, the corticospinal tract, and developmental twitching elimination. In addition, the proposed project will address if under pathological conditions, spontaneous muscle twitches trigger epileptic discharges in motor cortex. It is anticipated that such discharges are asymptomatic prior to, but are manifested by epileptic jerks upon the formation of the corticospinal tract. Using a combination of cutting-edge electrophysiological and imaging techniques, in vivo, the results are expected to provide the first insights on if and how peripheral stimuli induce the expression of neuronal oscillations in the developing motor cortex, and on how this may guide its maturation. Moreover and of great clinical importance, the results will provide a mechanistic explanation for the phenomenon of electroclinical uncoupling in neonatal epilepsy.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'EarLy unIverse eXploration with nIRspec'.

assistant: **Concept**

This network proposes to develop European expertise in searches for primeval galaxies and in the extraction of key physical information from deep sky observations, to ensure the maximum scientific return of the European instrument NIRSpec on board the future James Webb Space Telescope that will be launched in 2013. The accomplishment of this goal requires the combined expertise of four different communities:  1. Observational astronomers with expertise in deep sky surveys and in spatially resolved studies of distant galaxies.  2. Experts in spectral models of galaxies, to interpret the light emitted by distant galaxies in terms of physical parameters such as star formation rate, metallicity and dust content.  3. Theoreticians with expertise in modelling galaxy formation in its proper cosmological context.  4. Industrial engineers who are responsible for the performance and calibration of NIRSpec.  This network will bring together these communities to work on the interpretation of the physical properties of distant galaxies deduced from their spectra and images and to develop practical analysis tools of interest to the exploitation of NIRSpec. It will serve as a training ground for a new generation of young researchers, who will gain broad insights into the problem of galaxy formation --- both in the area of theoretical models and in the preparation and analysis of state-of-the-art observations --- and into the development and implementation of an astronomical space project.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Innovative and highly-efficient solar thermal collector for Building façades'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Heating and cooling in our buildings accounts for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU. Moreover, 84% of heating and cooling is still generated from fossil fuels, while only 16% is generated from renewable energy. By improving the energy efficiency of buildings, we could reduce total EU energy consumption by 5-6% and lower CO2 emissions by about 5%. In 2016, the Commission proposed the EU Heating and Cooling Strategy that includes plans to make energy efficient renovations to buildings easier.The EU/Global market is requesting a cost effective and high efficient solution. Current commercial solutions are of very low efficiency, expensive and not suitable for old buildings.Asoluna, a Swedish SME that designs and manufactures solar energy solutions, has design and prototyped Prisma: a multifunctional solar thermal collector for integration in the building envelope in such forms as facades, decorative elements, parapets, glazing etc. It acts as a climate envelope that efficiently protects the building from unwanted heating or cooling, while at the same time delivering solar heating to the building’s systems. Crucially, it has been designed in collaboration with some of Europe’s leading sustainability architects to be easy to retrofit on to existing buildings.Prisma exhibits the following characteristics: 1) 100 % renewable energy; 2) Patented; 3) Reduces annual energy costs by 50 % throughout the building’s life; 4) High efficiency (<80%); 5) Suitable for new and old buildings; 6) Easy to install; 7) Follows the statutory instruments, directives and standards for façade applications; 8)  Low environmental impact; 9) Cost effective; 10)  Unique design with no frame; 11) Various colours and shading available; 12) Designed by architects, for architects
