user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Reconstitution of Myosin IIA-driven membrane fission in vitro' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Eukaryotic cells contain a variety of membrane-enclosed compartments that are connected by dynamic transport processes facilitated by vesicles. The temporal and spatial regulation of these transport processes is essential for cellular function. After initial formation transport vesicles are separated from their donor membrane and this fission event seems to be coordinated with the elongation of tubular precursors pulled by motor proteins. Recent results from the host laboratory demonstrated a direct interaction of Rab6 (a Golgi-associated RabGTPase) and nonmuscle Myosin II A (MyoIIA) and showed an unexpected function of MyoIIA in the fission of Rab6 transport carriers at the trans-Golgi network.The aim of this project is the development of an in vitro system to mimic the MyoIIA-driven fission process. In this system, we will pull membrane nanotubes from Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) using optical tweezers and we will monitor tube stability in the presence of Rab6, MyoIIA, actin and ATP. Two hypotheses will be tested: either MyoIIA induces phase separation in membrane tubes by the formation of actomyosin patches, which then leads to fission; or MyoIIA contracts short actin filaments around the membrane tubes in a manner similar to its role during the formation of the cleavage furrow in cytokinesis. If we do not observe fission in this minimal system, we will add additional factors that have been implicated in fission at the trans-Golgi network.In the past years the cell biology host laboratory of Bruno Goud and the experimental physicists from Patricia Bassereau’s group have collaborated extensively to develop new interdisciplinary methods to investigate intracellular transport processes. As I have so far focused on biophysical measurements with Rab proteins in the a

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Collecting Asteroid-Orbiting Samples: enabling a safer, sustainable, and autonomous exploration of asteroids' (CRADLE).

assistant: **Concept**

Exploring asteroids and other small bodies in the solar system is a challenging task, which carries immense scientific benefits. Our understanding of the early Solar System would advance greatly by studying the chemicals stored in carbonaceous asteroids. Through the development of advanced technology, we will be able to process asteroid material into fuel, oxygen, and water, making long-duration mission self-sustainable. Metallic asteroid could offer a great source of mineral resources through asteroid mining. The knowledge of asteroids composition is also fundamental to help defend our planet from possible impactor, enabling effective asteroid deflection missions. The overall aim of this action is to advance the way we design and operate deep space missions to asteroids, and especially, how we model, track, and collect asteroid fragments. They give invaluable insight on the composition and the dynamical environment of asteroids, as well as key information on how we can deflect them. The research objectives will be achieved through the theoretical studies on particle dynamics, the development of machine-learning algorithms for tracking them, and the design of a particle collection device to gather them in orbit. These objectives are relevant to H2020 Work Programme, specifically regarding the “market creating innovation” and “strengthening international R&I cooperation”. The approach combines my current skills with the ones that I will have acquired during the fellowship. I will improve my professional maturity and foster new collaboration under the supervision of eminent researchers, in preparation for an independent career.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Cuckoo-host interactions when multiple parasites target a single host: tactics and trade-offs in a co-evolutionary arms race' (2002-2006) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Interspecific brood parasitism occurs when parents relegate the care of their offspring to unrelated foster parents of another species. As a consequence, foster parents often fail to rear their own offspring. How can such pattern evolve? Hosts should quickly evolve mechanisms to prevent costly parasitism, yet brood parasitism persists in cuckoos and other birds, fishes, and insects. Theory suggests that parasite-host interactions evolve inane \arms-race\" - a cycle of adaptation and counter-adaptation. This co-evolution modulates behavioural and morphological adaptations, sometimes over relatively short time scales. Such systems provide an opportunity to study evolutionary processes in action. For simplicity, studies usually focus on co-evolutionary arms races in single pair of interact ants. In contrast, I will examine a complex system that is more representative of natural situations. Here, a single host is parasailed by two species of cuckoo, each of which has a different strategy. The chicks of one cuckoo remove all host eggs, while the chicks of the other are raised alongside those of the host. I will study cuckoo-host co-evolution by investigating parent-offspring communication in hosts, how cuckoos exploit this communication, the costs of parasitism, and the adaptations of hosts to reduce these costs. To do this, I will develop mathematical models that make predictions about optimal behaviour of parasites and host, and compare these predictions with data collected from the field and laboratory. The results of this study will deepen our understanding of evolutionary processes involving multiple interact ants. Such complexity often imposes conflicting evolutionary pressures on organisms. An understanding of these pressures, in turn, is important in predicting the r

user: Explain how 'Warmed Icelandic Soils, Lipids and Sequencing: towards a better understood climate proxy' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The distribution of the soil bacterial membrane lipids “branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers” (brGDGTs) in geological records has been used to reconstruct palaeoclimatic conditions, specifically the mean annual air temperature and soil pH. However, the large error associated with the most recent brGDGT-based calibration, makes this method unsuitable for determining absolute temperatures. The fellow aims to perform geochemical and microbiological work that will result in the improvement of this palaeotemperature proxy. Firstly, an improved analytical method will be used, targeting not only fifteen brGDGTs that are currently used for palaeoclimate reconstructions, but including an additional fifteen brGDGT lipids, and a suite of precursors, whose diversity in soils is unstudied. This extended dataset will be measured in a well-studied, naturally (geothermally) warmed soil, linking the observed lipid distributions directly to the measured in-situ soil temperature (covering a 0-35°C gradient). Furthermore, the applicability of the novel temperature proxy proposed, will be tested in a well-studied dataset of European soils, covering a latitudinal temperature gradient. Although environmental studies point towards the Acidobacteria as the source organism, only one brGDGT has been found in an Acidobacterial culture so far and brGDGTs are still considered to be “orphan lipids”. Using a novel approach to identify the source organism, the fellow proposes to study the microbial community using a next-generation sequencing method. Tracking the patterns in (Acido)bacterial distribution along a temperature gradient, will enable the fellow to ascertain if the changes in the brGDGT pool are caused by a shift in the microbial community, or are caused by phenotypic plasticity.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'A View from Heaven. Exploring the Potential of Remote Sensing Techniques to Study Spatial Patterns of Monastic Habitation on the East Bank of the Nile in Middle Egypt', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Early Egyptian monasticism played a defining role in the establishment of monastic life in Europe. However, our understanding of the history of the formation and organization of monastic life in Egypt itself is incomplete. Whereas monastic centres in northern and southern Egypt are being extensively studied, the important region of Middle Egypt has scarcely received scholarly attention. From AD 300-800, this area had a thriving Christian life and a large number of monastic settlements. On the east bank of the Nile, monks settled mainly in Pharaonic tombs and quarries in the chain of hills hugging the river. They adapted the spaces to their needs and established communities. Most of these dwellings are still relatively intact. Since written documentation is scarce, this archaeological material presents a unique opportunity to complete our picture of the formation and organization of early Egyptian monasticism. A comprehensive study is necessary to understand how and when this monastic landscape took shape. Why did it assume its specific spatial pattern and how did it function, locally and in a wider sense? To answer this composite question, I intend to acquire skills in the interpretation of satellite imagery for the localization of sites and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for integrated spatial data processing. An innovative interdisciplinary approach is essential to establish the intra- and intersite patterns of these monastic habitations. In conjunction with historical research and field survey, a view from heaven through satellite remote sensing (RS) will draw a map of the monastic landscape as a starting point for innovative site location modelling analyses using GIS techniques. Known historical data will be projected upon this new contextual backcloth to gene

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Soil Hydrology research platform underpinning innovation to manage water scarcity in European and Chinese cropping systems' (SHui), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

SHui is conceived as a network integrating long-term experiments of its 19 academic and SME partners across different environmental conditions and cropping systems in the EU and China. It provides a platform for research on soil-water resources management under water scarce conditions, to better understand the linkages between agricultural soil hydrology and sustainability and for a systematic assessment of adaptation and mitigation methods. It will develop and implement new strategies to increase water use efficiency and yield, based on sustainable intensification through integrated use of soil and water across different spatial scales. At farm level, this includes digital agriculture solutions integrating in situ and remote sensors and simulation models to exploit an improved understanding of the relationship between crop yield variability and soil hydraulic properties, optimizing circular approaches to re-use water and using waste water sources. These technical approaches are reliant on optimum data utilization and transdisciplinary research with multiple stakeholders. At regional scales, the aggregation of biophysical and socioeconomic variables in dynamic models will evaluate the impact of different policy strategies, to support decision makers to evaluate different scenarios of land-use dynamics, economic context and current and future climate in EU and China, including assessments of water and carbon footprint. SHui will exploit scientific, technological and social innovations by disseminating and communicating these to multiple stakeholders, and implementing novel technological packages from farm to large regional scales. It aims to make a significant contribution to the EU and China Research Agenda for Agriculture in providing food security and optimum use of s

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Silicon Cluster based Hierarchical photocatalysts produced by MATrix assembly cluster source' (SCHiMAT).

assistant: **Innovation**

Photocatalysis is important for solving the worldwide energy shortage and environmental pollution issues. Recently, silicon materials are considered to be promising catalysts. In particular, size controlled Si clusters/nanoparticles/QDs show tunable emissions/absorption from near infrared to blue wavelength, making them promising candidates as photocatalysts. However, the research on the Si clusters based photocatalysts is still slow progress due to lacking of methods of fabrication of Si clusters with precision and in large quantities. In addition, unlike the widely studied Au and Ag nanostructures, which have distinct and well-defined SPR absorption peaks , small (<10nm) Si nanoparticles always exhibit low extinction from the ultraviolet to short wavelength of visible light, and thus result in lower photocatalytic efficiency. In SCHiMAT, the luminescent, photoelectric and photocatalytic properties of Si clusters with precisely controllable size and high production, which produced by “Matrix Assembly Cluster Source” (MACS), will be systemically studied. Based on that, this project will entail the design of a novel kind of hierarchical structure, which involves the choice of spherical semiconductor nanoparticles (SiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, TiO2 CeO2 and ZnO NPs) and distribution modulation of the Si QDs on the semiconductor support, to largely enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of Si QDs, which is distinct from a conventional photocatalytic efficiency enhancement strategy aimed at exciting surface plasmon by means of incorporating metal nanostructures. This project would open a promising new route to using Si cluster/QDs as visible-light absorber for solar energy conversion. The project combines ER and host supervisor’s expertise in nanocluster, photonics, catalysis research

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Microwave electro-acoustic devices for mobile and land based communications' (MEDCOM).

assistant: **Concept**

The main objective of this proposal is the development of new fabrication technologies for the next generations of microwave electro-acoustic devices used in mobile and land based communications. These new technologies are to be based on the use of thin piezoelectric films grown on various bulk substrates such as Si, glass, polydiamond, etc. Suggested materials are AlN and PZT on high velocity substrates such as polycrystalline diamond, as well as Si, glass and others. Large area fabrication technologies are also to be developed to demonstrate the industrial viability of the new technologies. Further, prototype filters operating between 2 and 7 GHz will be designed, fabricated and tested. Finally, a test subsystem representing a block in a real communication system will be constructed using the fabricated devices to test the latter in real systems.Objectives:The broad objective of this proposal is to develop and test new technologies based on new thin piezoelectric films for the fabrication of the next generations of microwave electro-acoustic devices used in mobile and land based communications. Specific objectives include the synthesis of the piezoelectric films with high Q- factor, high coupling coefficient, low propagation losses and low TCF. The latter are also dependent on the substrate, so a number of substrate materials will be explored to achieve the above objectives. Another objective is to demonstrate the industrial viability of the new fabrication processes for which purpose the latter will be further developed for large area substrates. Further, prototype bandpass filters will be designed and manufactured. Finally, a communications subsystem will be constructed using the prototype filters to test the latter in real systems as well as to demonstrate the viab

user: Draft an impact statement for 'One box to measure all the most important air pollutants and greenhouse gases', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Lazaero will radically disrupt the €4.2 billion air quality monitoring market as we know it with the very first all-in-one solution to measure the most important air pollutants (CO, O3, SO2, NO, NO2, NH3) and 4 greenhouse gases (H2O, CO2, CH4 and N2O) continuously, simultaneously and precisely. This is a huge jump from current technologies which monitor each gas separately via a mess of expensive, fixed instruments, each of which must be carefully calibrated by expert technical staff and can suffer from cross-sensitivities with other gases. Our technology applies the latest in direct laser absorption spectroscopy, with three novel dual-colour quantum cascade lasers (CQL), custom design electronics and software to create a plug & play, mobile, compact (20kg, 2.025 cm3) easy to use device that saves space and reduce costs. Lazaero doesn’t need a server or to be calibrated, so it can be operated without special training for 75% less operational and 40% lower startup costs compared to existing devices. Furthermore, Lazaero will widely expand its potential use by moving it to different locations to get a more targeted measurement of air pollution. A more precise measurement of air contamination will help industry, authorities and research institutions implement strategies to improve air quality and avoid multi-million-euro fines from the EC, 71,000 deaths, €52 billion in medical costs in the EU.   With our immediate launch into air quality monitoring network for polluting industries and universities in Europe and then expanding into public monitoring networks and into U.S. and Asia at later stage will make Miro a leader in air monitoring field. Investment by the EC will help us to decrease our prices as we scale up production to reduce our average unit price from €94.000 to

user: Explain how 'Towards the Sustainable Development of the Atlantic Ocean: Mapping and Assessing the present and future status of Atlantic marine ecosystems under the influence of climate change and exploitation' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

MISSION ATLANTIC develops and systematically applies Atlantic Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEAs). IEAs enable identification of ecosystem components most at risk from natural hazards and the consequences of human activities. The project employs all available information on those sources, the pressures they impose and the ecosystem components are affected, to identify the most important risk factors influencing sustainable development.IEAs are developed at basin and regional scales, using a nested approach with key case study (CS) areas including sub-Arctic and Tropical regions in the Atlantic Ocean. To support IEAs we map, model and assess Atlantic Ocean ecosystems including resilience and responses to cumulative pressures. Regional indicators are provided for both pelagic and benthic components, using existing and new data from monitoring programs, including information from new glider technology.Coupled end-to-end physical-biological models are developed and validated at the basin scale to simulate ecosystem dynamics, defining new biogeographical regions and resolving connectivity between CSs. Ecosystem state indicators are then evaluated under four future climate projections of the models, to identify future risks of crossing identified tipping points into undesirable ecosystem states. In support of the Bélem Statement, the project brings together scientists, managers and stakeholders from Brazil, S.Africa and the EU as well as US & Canada. Regional stakeholder platforms are established to support the IEAs and the interactions between researchers, industries, policy makers and authorities across the Atlantic. The platforms are delivered via partners with recognized experience in “science to governance” interfacing. Training and professional development opportuni
