user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Alternative Modernities and Everyday Life in the Pre-emancipation Southern Caribbean (c. 1634–1863)' (IslandLives), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

ISLANDLIVES will be the first interdisciplinary historical archaeological project to deploy a broad array of cutting-edge archaeological science techniques to study everyday life at multiple sites across multiple islands during a span of 229 years. The Dutch islands of Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire (ABC islands) were unconventional colonies that did not fit the typical European model of plantation-driven modernity incepted in the Caribbean. Rather, they occupied a grey area, thriving on illicit trade with the Spanish mainland. Truly little, however, is known archaeologically about everyday life on the islands. By mobilizing terrestrial and maritime archaeological investigations, archival research, and archaeometric, proteomic, archaeobotanical, collagen fingerprinting, and zooarchaeological analyses within a sophisticated conceptual framework, the project aims to reveal the inner workings of alternative modernities in the 17th- through 19th-century Southern Caribbean. The bulk of evidence will be obtained through archaeological excavations at six sites, the careful interpretation of which will generate the first comprehensive cross-section of everyday lives across the ABC islands. Archaeometric analyses will, moreover, provide unprecedented clarity on the provenance and dating of poorly identified European and regional ceramics ubiquitous on the islands and in the Caribbean and circum-Caribbean regions. This project is therefore geared to advance research on how different island peoples including free and enslaved blacks, indigenous people, Sephardim, and Dutch navigated modernity in their own contested and contingent ways. Finally, these new understandings will be productively engaged with the present. In this way ISLANDLIVES also aims to reveal how insights from past al

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Role of Notch-dependent Neurone-glia signalling in sleep and brain function'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Sleep disruption leads to cognitive impairments, mood disorders and metabolic dysregulations demonstrating the critical importance of sleep in human health. In addition, sleep disorders such as insomnia are highly prevalent in the general population with major medical and societal consequences. Despite decades of research, the cellular and molecular processes by which sleep maintains normal brain function remain elusive. Maintenance of neurotransmission systems, regulation of energy metabolism, and learning and memory processing have been identified as potential sleep functions. Importantly, all these processes are modulated by glial cells in response to neuron signals. This means that neuron-glia interactions may potentially play a key role in sleep function. However, this role is largely under-explored worldwide. Using a Drosophila genetic model of insomnia, gene expression studies and a novel learning assay, we have uncovered a sleep-dependent neuron-glia signaling pathway. Specifically, this signaling pathway constitutes a novel function for the trans-membrane receptor Notch and its ligand Delta. The nature of the Notch-controlled signaling in this context is unknown. In this proposal, we will thus identify the components of the Notch pathway involved in sleep-wake regulation and determine how they influence neuronal physiology and learning. In a second step we will use a gene profiling approach combined with neurogenetic tools to identify in the brain the Notch-dependent neuronal circuits/systems involved in sleep-wake control. The influence of Notch signaling in the context of sleep deficits associated with Parkinson’s disease, will finally be evaluated using a Drosophila model. Because Notch receptors are also present in the mammalian brain the findings generated

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Calibration of energy dispersive x-ray spectrometers (EDS-CRM)' (EDS-CRM) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The development of a CRM is proposed for the calibration of the detection efficiency of energy dispersive X-ray spectrometers (EDS) used in combination with scanning electron microscopy in hundreds of testing laboratories EU wide for easy standardless quantitative analysis of microscopic specimens. The criterion for the CRM composition is a characteristic X-ray spectrum very sensitive to spectrometer efficiency. The CRM shall be certificated by its composition and its X-ray spectrum recorded by means of an efficiency calibrated EDS spectrometer using synchrotron radiation. Measurement of the CRM spectrum and comparison with the specified spectrum enables a rapid spectrometer efficiency calibration in every other testing laboratory. The proposal comprises the development of a methodology that can be implemented in spectrometer software to enable the calibration with a minimum of operator assistance.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Algorithms beyond the Worst Case' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

For many optimization problems that arise in logistics, information retrieval, and other contexts the classical theory of algorithms has lost its grip on reality because it is based on a pessimistic worst-case perspective, in which the performance of an algorithm is solely measured by its behavior on the worst possible input. This does not take into consideration that worst-case inputs are often rather contrived and occur only rarely in practical applications. It led to the situation that for many problems the classical theory is not able to differentiate meaningfully between different algorithms. Even worse, for some important problems it recommends algorithms that perform badly in practice over algorithms that work well in practice only because the artificial worst-case performance of the latter ones is bad.We will study classic optimization problems (traveling salesperson problem, linear programming, etc.) as well as problems coming from machine learning and information retrieval. All these problems have in common that the practically most successful algorithms have a devastating worst-case performance even though they clearly outperform the theoretically best algorithms.Only in recent years a paradigm shift towards a more realistic and robust algorithmic theory has been initiated. This project will play a major role in this paradigm shift by developing and exploring novel theoretical approaches (e.g. smoothed analysis) to reconcile theory and practice. A more realistic theory will have a profound impact on the design and analysis of algorithms in the future, and the insights gained in this project will lead to algorithmic tools for large-scale optimization problems that improve on existing ad hoc methods. We will not only work theoretically but also test the applica

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'EVIDENCE DRIVEN INDOOR AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT' (EDIAQI) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Indoor air pollution, an emerging threat recognized by European society, is claiming millions of lives annually. In the heat of current COVID-19 pandemic, elevated exposure to indoor air pollutants due to increased time spent indoors further faces a significant increase in negative effect on both physical and mental health and well-being not only in Europe, but also worldwide. When it comes to indoor air quality itself, serious knowledge gaps remain in understanding complex nature of indoor-outdoor pollution relationships, pollution sources and exposure pathways, health effects of emerging pollutants, ventilation of indoor spaces on wide spatial and long temporal scales. This is mainly because air quality monitoring in European Union (EU) is primarily focused on outdoor air quality, which paradoxically is a result of regulatory target compliances, which is lacking for indoor environments. To increase the resilience of EU for emerging threats of indoor air pollution and to promote living and working in healthy environments, project EDIAQI aims at conducting characterization of sources and routes of exposure and dispersion of chemical, biological, and emerging indoor air pollution in multiple cities in EU. Quantification of the main properties of pollutants and processes that governs its fate in indoor environments will be investigated on two levels: a) the-state-of-the-art, small-scale, high-intensity scientific focus measurement campaigns; and b) long-term, large-scale monitoring of target indoor air pollutants. The chosen project strategy for developing, characterization, and deployment of cost-effective/user-friendly monitoring solutions, together with the-state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation will allow to create new knowledge on sources, routes of exposure, an

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'To promote the access of european researchers to the budapest research reactor'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Description:The Budapest Research Reactor (BRR), located in Budapest, is the largest neutron research facility in Central Europe. The 10 MW reactor power provides with a maximum thermal neutron flux of 2.2x1014 n/cm2s and with a fast neutron flux of 1x1014 n/cm2s. Due to its high flux BRR offers unique facilities for all forms of neutron research. KFKI Atomic Energy Research Institute operates the Budapest Research Reactor. For utilisation of the reactor in the field of basic research the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC) has been set up by three academic research institutes. Around the Budapest Research Reactor, actually 12 instrumental stations are routinely operated in user system. Eight instruments for neutron scattering, radiography and activation analysis (small angle neutron scattering, triple axis sprectrometer, powder diffractometer, dynamic neutron radiography, static neutron radiography, prompt gamma activation analysis, reactor neutron activation analysis, biological channel) are offered for the European research community within the HPRI program. The facilities at BRR are improving continually. In 2000, a cold neutron source and a supermirror guide system were installed. A majority of instruments get a much-improved utilization with the cold neutrons.Application:Information on BNC and description of above mentioned eight outstanding instruments is available on Internet at: http://www.BNC.hu.

user: Describe how 'Studying the bricks of microbial cities: characterization and structural properties of exopolysaccharides and their interaction with proteins and cations in anammox granular sludge' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is an innovative technology for the removal of nitrogen from wastewater (ww) saving 60% of aeration and 100% of organic carbon. Its potential application to municipal ww allow a complete redesign of the present energy-consuming into an energy-yielding ww treatment plant. Due to the slow growth rate of anammox bacteria, their retention in the system, and therefore granule stability, is the main concern of this process. Granular stability is closely related to the properties of their exopolysaccharides (PS) and their interactions with proteins and mono-divalent cations. In the proposed research integrated analytical methods (UV-visible, FT-IR, MALDI-TOF MS, NMR, (pyrolysis)GC-MS, HPLC) will be used to investigate functional PS and their fine structures, unrevealing the mechanisms involved in anammox granular sludge formation and stability. Modern rheological (AOS, LLCT and Microrheology combined with CLSM), light scattering (DLS, SLS) and microscopy techniques (AFM, FT-IR, CLSM) will be used to investigate their interactions with proteins and cations. PS will be isolated from lab- and full-scale reactors. The definition of standardized extraction (loosely/tightly bound-EPS, LB/TB-EPS) and analytical methods will bridge the existing gap for efficient and meaningful comparison of the results from this and future research. The methods set up here, will largely contribute to increase the scientific significance of PS studies in anammox granular sludge area as well as facilitate the entire biofilm research field. Studies on biofouling and biocorrosion will also benefit from the high-quality of the information and basic knowledge acquired. This research will strengthen the EU leadership in anammox granular sludge technology also improv

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Fitness drivers in long-distance migrants: the interacting roles of physiology, social biology, ecological and physical environments'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Long distance migration in birds is among the most dramatic and exciting phenomena in nature. However despite many years of study, there are still huge gaps in our understanding of how this behaviour shapes individual ecology and influences population processes. For example, we have very little understanding of how migratory animals manage trade offs within and among seasons and how these in turn drive variation in productivity, survival or breeding phenology. Increased understanding in this area has important implications for ecology, evolution conservation and managementOur lack of progress in this area is almost inevitable given the complex nature of migration. Migration is sequential in nature, meaning that an animal’s state in one season is heavily influenced by previous conditions. Therefore the costs/benefits of behaviours can be carried over into subsequent seasons and thus the processes regulating fitness may not occur at the time it is being expressed. This also means that regulating processes and response can also be separated spatially making it even harder to identify cause. These effects are likely to be emphasized in migrants because fuelling flights and breeding also places huge physiological demands on migratory birds. Yet few studies have linked the stress incurred during migration with subsequent fitness. Integrating mechanism and function would provide very important insights into the ecology and evolution of migration. In order to progress we need to able to follow large numbers of individuals throughout their annual cycles, tracking the different conditions they experience and how this influences their state at each point in time. I would use state of the art technologies and statistical tools to follow migratory geese throughout the year and integ

user: Describe how 'Recruitment processes in cod and haddock: developing new approaches' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The overall objective of the project was to evaluate methodologies for partitioning sources of variability in gadoid recruitment between effects due to spawning stock structure (ie. age composition, spatial distribution) and those due to the environment. This represents a significant advance on earlier approaches, which have focussed on single classes of processes. The approach to this problem was twofold:- Develop an environmental survival index, based on sound understanding of processes, so that a more realistic specification of the statistical error distribution about stock recruitment relationships can be provided.- Establish the importance of the structure of the spawning stock, by accounting for the non-linearity between stock biomass and viable egg production, thereby allowing an examination of the potential value of manipulating stock-structure to reduce the probability of low recruitment.To achieve this the project has developed a conceptual framework within which the following i specific objectives are addressed through a combination of field measurements, studies in mesocosms and the laboratory, and modelling:- determine the relationship between spawning stock structure and the timing, duration and amplitude of egg production,- determine the relationship between female age, size and condition and the viability of eggs and larvae,- determine the relative contribution of the various components of the annual egg production to the surviving population of pelagic juveniles, - determine the relationship between larval growth rate and survival,- determine the environmental factors which influence individual growth rate and derive a suite of environmental parameters which could provide an index of their contribution to year-class survival,- evaluate methodologies for
