user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'An Eco-Metabolistic Framework for Sustainable Architecture' (ECO-METABOLISTIC-ARC).

assistant: **Concept**

This interdisciplinary project asks how we can rethink sustainable building practices through a bio-based material paradigm in response to the increasing global crisis of material depletion. Despite well-organised calls for action maturing into legislation and an attentive profession, architecture is proving reticent in this transition. Bio-based materials are fundamentally different to current building materials being characterised by their complex heterogeneity, unpredictable behaviours and limited lifespans. This project identifies that the key impediments to this transition lie with architecture’s inability to represent, conceptualise and operationalise bio-based materials. It argues that to design with bio-based materials we must challenge the fundamental value proposition of architecture and expand our conception of material lifespan to find new practices of construction. It proposes a holistic eco-metabolistic framework, that allows for carbon-neutral, renewable and materially optimised design solutions. It employs a research-by-design method to investigate three bio-based material perspectives (glulam, bio-polymer composites and bioluminescent bacteria) and instrumentalises them through three advanced computational modelling networks for the predictive modelling, adaptive fabrication and environmental sensing of bio-based materials. It challenges our preconception of design agency as restricted to the traditional cut-off point of building completion, proposing new participatory practices of continual construction to recast the short lifespans of bio-based materials as effective properties of a new sustainable practice. By enabling us to think of buildings as co-present and actively engaged through processes of maintenance and intervention, the project responds t

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Future ResiLient Forest in a ChAnging ClimatE: isotope observations and mechanistic modeling of soil water residence time and vegetation water uptake dynamics', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The time that precipitated water resides in soil (residence time) varies from a few days to several months or even years, and increases with soil depth. How much of the water used by plants originates from the growing season precipitation and how much of it comes from previous events or seasons largely depends on storage capacity, permeability, and residence time of precipitation in soil. It is unclear how the dynamics of subsurface water storage and release, the seasonal origins and turnover time of water used by plants, and plant water uptake depths will change when environmental conditions change (e.g. receding groundwater, more frequent droughts). Yet, they are the most crucial in predicting vegetation resilience in response to drought. Studying the resilience of different plant species to climate change will facilitate promotion of climate-smart forest as conservation, afforestation, and restoration practices at several scales.Previous studies have attempted to improve the mechanistic understanding of ecosystem response to dry conditions or climate change by focusing either on vegetation water availability1 or plant physiological adaptation strategies2-4, but the combined effects of shifting terrestrial water availability and atmospheric demand have not been mechanistically investigated. In order to understand terrestrial ecosystems’ response to a changing climate, it is crucial to characterize precipitation partitioning in terrestrial systems, species-specific water uptake strategies, and plants' adaptive water use efficiency, all in a coupled framework. FLAME will use a newly developed high-frequency in-situ measurements of stable water isotopes (18O and 2H) in soil and xylem as a unique natural signature to trace the origin of vegetation water uptake and its res

user: Explain how 'Adaptive Optics for Quantum Communication' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Securing exchanges of information on a global scale represents a major challenge in our society today. The emerging field of quantum communication relies on the fundamental laws of physics to offer unconditional security. In this respect, encoding information on spatial properties of photons has recently demonstrated a strong potential for increasing security level and data rates of quantum communications. However, disturbances in the distribution of quantum states in free-space (i.e. atmospheric turbulence) are critical challenges that must be overcome to advance beyond laboratory proof-of-principle demonstrations and implement long-distance communications. The goal of this work is to enhance information capacity and enlarge distances of free-space quantum communications by monitoring optical disturbances using adaptive optics. This ambitious goal will be achieved by combining the powerful techniques of the emerging field of quantum light shaping, with the speed of adaptive optics systems and the extreme sensitivity and high temporal resolution of quantum imaging sensors. Specifically, the proposal is based on our novel insight that wavefront correction performed in the classical domain (i.e. using an intense classical light beam) can be transferred to the quantum domain to prevent degradation of quantum states that carry the information.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Baryonic Acoustic Oscilations as a Robust Probe for Dark Energy' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

This research proposal focuses on the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation signature in the low-redshift clustering of galaxies as a test for Dark Energy. Two vigorous lines of research are outlined. These are aimed at the challenge of readying this test and the other Large-Scale Structure tests of cosmology, for the era of percent-precision. This proposal also seeks funding to support the PI during their period of reintegration into the European scientific community. These funds will help the PI to maintain their recognised leadership in this area and to widely interact with their new European colleagues at the highest levels. It will further enable them to maintain strong ties with their trans-Atlantic partners in the US. This funding therefore offers the potential for encouraging closer long-term interaction between some of the best researchers in Europe and the US.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Functional mapping of the Arabidopsis Cytochrome P450 Gene superfamily based on Co-expression Analysis'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Plants synthesize a vast array of natural products that serve crucial functions in protection against pests, as attractants for pollinators, as structural components and as signalling molecules. Such natural products offer a great potential for the development of new phyto-pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and to enhance crop properties. But a fundamental pre-requisite for such biotechnological developments is a thorough understanding of the underlying biosynthetic pathways. Recent genome sequencing projects have revealed the existence of large gene families likely to encode the enzymes forming these pathways. The largest among them is the super-family of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) monooxygenases.The size of this family reflects the complexity of plant secondary metabolism, and demonstrates that most of it is still unexplored. CYP450s often constitute rate-limiting steps and points-of-no-return in metabolic networks. They are thus under tight developmental control, and frequently respond transcriptionally to environmental cues. Here we propose a new integrative approach for the functional characterization of the orphan CYP450s in Arabidopsis. It combines bioinformatics with reverse genetics, metabolic profiling and reverse biochemistry. Based on large-scale expression data, co-expression analysis with known and putative metabolic genes will be exploited to place CYP450s onto existing metabolic pathways, and to identify novel metabolic networks.Based on these results, selected CYP450 genes will be characterized u sing reverse genetics (over-expressers, knock out mutants) combined with targeted metabolic profiling. Employing an available collection of recombinant enzymes, biochemical functions will be identified, either directly or by using medium throughput enzymatic screenin

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Solid-state Quantum Optical Devices' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Quantum Dots in Microcavities offer a unique laboratory to investigate quantum physics. The state of the art has recently achieved the so-called ""strong coupling"" where coherent quantum interactions dominate the system dynamics. Nonlinear effects of a quantum character have been shown under coherent excitation (e.g., photon blockade). An appealing framework is incoherent excitation, where the device undergoes its intrinsic dynamics in a steady state. In this case, many issues remain unresolved. One feature of full-field quantization predicted by the Jaynes-Cummings model, that describes the quantum coupling between a two-level system and a cavity, is still missing from quantum dots: the Jaynes-Cumming ladder splitting that scales like the square root of the number of photons. Such a splitting has been identified in other implementations, like atoms or superconducting qubits. In the case of semiconductors, however, puzzling features have been reported instead, like a spectral triplet. It was recently shown by the applicant that incoherent excitation brings specificities of its own in the description of light-matter interactions. This proposal aims at investigating the strong-coupling with quantum dots in microcavities in the light of this theoretical description, articulating the research in a joint theoretical/experimental collaboration between the applicant and the host organization, one of the first worldwide to achieve strong coupling in an electrically tunable photonic crystal. This opens new possibilities for exploring clean systems open to a fine external control. Beyond evidencing Jaynes-Cumming nonlinearities, this proposal will investigate spin (polarization) and Coulomb interactions (exciton complexes, biexcitons, etc.) in this nonlinear quantum context.

assistant: **Concept**

The purpose of the project is to give a new approach, based on structural complexity techniques, to solve problems arising in field of complexity of proofs in propositional proof systems. In particular we intend to: -improve the proofs of existing lower bounds for known proof systems using new complexity techniques (like Kolmogorov Complexity); -apply results about relationship between complexity classes to compare different proof systems; -establish the exact correspondence between proof system complexity and circuit complexity; -prove new lower bounds applying both new combinatorial techniques from Kolmogorov complexity and probabilistic arguments. We intend to develop the project during the four years PhD degree requires.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Developmental principles for the functional specialisation of inhibitory circuits in neocortical areas' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The mammalian neocortex consists of discrete, but highly interconnected, functional areas that collectively encode features of the environment, form associations between stimuli and drive behaviour by transforming sensory input into motor output. All neocortical areas are organised into six layers containing two major classes of neurons, excitatory glutamatergic pyramidal cells and inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. However, each area has distinctive cytoarchitectonical features and inputs that largely determine its computational capabilities. As pyramidal cells comprise the large majority of neurons in the cerebral cortex, much emphasis has been made on their contribution to the differential organisation of cortical areas. In contrast, interneurons have received little attention in the context of the functional specialisation of cortical areas, even though their distribution is highly heterogeneous.The central tenet of this research proposal is that distinct patterns of inhibitory connectivity may accompany, and perhaps even determine, the functional specialisation of neocortical areas. We hypothesise that interneurons play an important role in the tuning of circuits in each cortical area, and therefore that quantitative differences in the relative distribution of specific classes of interneurons, which arise during development, reflect functional specialisations. The overall aim of this research project is to understand how developmental mechanisms ‘sculpting’ the distribution of inhibitory neurons across different neocortical areas contribute to their functional specialisation. This project has the potential to transform our understanding of the organisation of inhibitory circuits in the mammalian neocortex.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Intelligent low-cost, scalable, adaptive ecosystem for intelligent irrigation and fertilization ensuring high performance and quality crops'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Even if traditional farming has more benefits to the environment and rural cohesion, due to future demand, in the future, our farmers will have to produce more with less. It is imperative to develop sustainable agriculture technology, that adapted to the sector optimizes production while preserving the environment and product quality. Most farmers expend an average of more than 300 hundred hours per year measuring their crops and their evolution basing their decisions on their vast experience. Overruns related to unnecessary irrigation and fertilizers, is between 1,500 – 3,000 euros/month per hectare. Due to the lack of monitoring and predicting capacity, the surfeit of fertilizers causes serious environmental damagesBrioagro ultimate target is to provide an innovative intelligent low-cost, scalable, and easy to use ecosystem that improves farming performance by optimizing production and reducing costs through monitoring and prevention and smart irrigation.  It collects and integrates in real-time through sensors, soil & environmental data and analyses intelligently the aggregated data, stratifying through a standardized process the recommendations according to each crop type, allowing anticipate reaction of the decision–making over irrigation and fertilization. As a result, Brioagro avoids production losses risks, increasing exploitations performance (30%) as well as quality, doubling production performance (50%) and optimization of costs (40% or even more).Phase 1 objectives is to accelerate the market adoption and international penetration of Brioagro focus on preparing ourselves for the commercialization of at the international level (including route-to-market, marketing strategy, growth strategy, etc.) by evolving the product from TRL6 to TRL9 stage.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'A Pathway Towards Sustainable Use and Conservation of Cephalopod Stocks' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Our oceans provide food security, nutrition, poverty alleviation, and livelihoods for millions of people worldwide. However, environmental and social pressures (e.g., overfishing, climate change, population growth, globalization) threaten the oceans, the marine resources and the people depending on them. This is especially true for small-scale fisheries (SSF), which play a crucial (often neglected) role for local coastal communities. In this sense, alternative and effective ocean governance approaches are crucial for sustainable development and must adequately reflect the multi-dimensional and interconnected role of oceans in environmental health, economic prosperity, and human well-being. SUCCEPHS – ‘A Pathway Towards Sustainable Use and Conservation of Cephalopod Stocks’ aims to: i. demonstrate how existing tools to assess fisheries sustainability succeed or fail to integrate multiple dimensions of sustainability and achieve improved ocean governance; ii. identify common and context-specific factors that enable or hinder the achievement of sustainability in three octopus SSF; iii. improve the way octopus SSF sustainability is assessed and monitored. Embracing qualitative and quantitative data, and applying a participatory approach, SUCCEPHS will tackle simultaneously environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainability, while considering the particularities of fishing communities and resources, aiming to achieve improved governance to ensure equitable, sustainable and resilient octopus fisheries now and for generations to come. The project is designed to be a highly collaborative process, requiring stakeholders, partners and institutions to work together to co-create novel and adaptive tools for achieving these goals. A multi-comparative approach will allow a

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Hybrid solar collector /chp system (HYBRID-CHP)' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed research aims to investigate the novel hybrid solar collector/CHP system intended for use in buildings to provide heating and electricity generation. The proposed system will be driven by both solar energy and natural gas to provide continuous operation during periods of low insulation or at night. The proposed CHP system is based on the integration of a heat-pipe solar collector, burner/combustion chamber and micro-turbine in one unit and utilisation of environmentally friendly working fluid. The proposed system would eliminate the need for separate heat transfer circuits/heat exchangers thus allow heat transfer to be carried out more effectively and reduce the size, weight and cost of the CHP system. The research will involve computer modelling, laboratory test and field monitoring. The proposed system would benefit the EU CHP and HVtC industries as well as building services companies and architectural practices.
