user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Photopatterning of Cellulose Films for Creation of 2- and 3-Dimensional Nanostructures'.

assistant: **Objectives**

While photolithographic techniques are well established for patterning of semiconductors, they have not been employed for polysaccharide based materials to a large extent. The main idea of this project is to generate nano-patterned cellulose thin films using ideas and concepts from semiconductor industry to create 2 and 3 dimensionally structured cellulose surfaces. As starting material for the generation of cellulose surfaces, trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC) containing (2-photon sensitive) photoacid generators (PAG) is used which is deposited on different kinds of surfaces by spin coating. The use of mask aligners and UV-light or 2-photon absorption lithography converts exposed areas to cellulose (silyl groups are cleaved off by the generated acid) while in the unexposed areas TMSC remains. After the patterning step, TMSC can be selectively dissolved using an appropriate solvent or, alternatively, the converted cellulose can be digested using cellulases. Using the latter route remaining TMSC can be converted to cellulose in an additional step. As a result, 2 and 3 dimensionally nanostructured films can be obtained which have a large potential as material for semiconductor industry, in medicine (for growth of stem cells, antifouling materials) and in optical materials (refractive index changes). While the main focus of the project is to generate nano-structured cellulose films, this approach can be easily extended to other polysaccharides as well. The whole project aims at reducing organic solvents and to use mainly so-called eco-solvents.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Final size determination through spatio-temporal regulation of phytohormone signaling pathways' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The decision to grow or to stop growing is fundamental for plant survival. Small organic molecules called phytohormones play an important role in growth regulation. Significant progress has been made in identification and characterization of regulatory biosynthesis pathway and signaling components of various phytohormones. However our knowledge of how different hormones regulate growth in time and space and how they are coordinated remains rudimentary. Recent findings have revised the dogma that phytohormones are acting in all cells of the plant body to regulate its growth. Thus, it has been demonstrated that phytohormones act locally and in a particular cell type to affect growth of the entire organ. An exciting recent finding in this regard is that perception of the polyhydroxylated steroids called brassinosteroids (BRs) in epidermal cells are sufficient to control the growth of all above-ground organs in the model plant Arabidopsis. This suggests that signal/s, yet unknown, are used to coordinate growth between the epidermis and inner cell-layers in the plant. Therefore, my proposal aims to address the following questions: what is the spatio-temporal regulation of BR signal transduction during growth and to what extent cell-cell communication is involved, what is the molecular basis for cell-cell communication and how mechanical and phytohormone signals are integrated to control final size. To answer these questions my lab will use advanced genomic approaches including tissue specific short-read sequencing of hormonal regulated mRNA and high-throughput chemical genetic screens. Furthermore, my lab will develop biosensors for hormonal readout at the cellular level which will be combined with cell biology and genetic tools. Taken together, these studies should lead to

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Continuous Non-invasive diagnosis of Arterial Pressure and Hemodynamics'.

assistant: **Objectives**

CNSystems' CNAP HD technology is an innovative diagnostic tool for a significant reduction of peri- and postoperative complications resulting in an enhanced recovery after surgery. Consequently, the use of CNAP HD reduces length of hospital stay and decreases costs substantially. The planned diagnostic devices CNAP HD integral and CNAP HD connect are designed for the continuous non-invasive or minimal-invasive measurement of hemodynamic (HD) parameters. These parameters are biomarkers, which classify as “measurable diagnostic indicators that are used to assess the risk or presence of disease”.CNAP HD integral / connect will be used for diagnosing HD. It will guide intravenous fluid and inotropic therapy by achieving goals for cardiac output (CO) and other dynamic biomarkers in order to optimize the balance between oxygen supply and demand. Keeping the patient's fluid status in balance is the most effective way to combat complications such as infections, global tissue hypoxia, shock and multi organ failure.Medical outcome of the new diagnostic method is impressive: if HD is optimised by CNAP HD, overall complication rate will be reduced by 34% (from 83% in a group with standard treatment to 55% in HD-optimised patients) and infections will decrease by 61% (from 57% in standard treatment to 22%). CNAP HD has further proven clinical accuracy shown in various validation, application and outcome studies.The greatest impact regarding cost savings will be achieved in medium to high-risk surgeries and/or in medium to high-risk patients. Elderly patients with existing co-morbidities will benefit most. The annual cost savings potential for Europe with its age structure is ∼ €2.6 billion.For its broad rollout, the technology has to fulfil usability needs of anaesthesiologists work

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Applications of the gibbs sampling algorithm to multiple outlier detection in econometric models - the masking problem' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposal of this project is the research and development of new methods to identify groups of outliers in econometric models. When multiple outliers exist, the standard detection statistics for a single outlier are not reliable: they may not identify groups of outliers and they may identify as outliers data that are not. This is the masking problem. The new procedures will be develop from the Bayesian point of view and using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods.

user: Explain how 'RATIONAL: Secure Mobile Networks of Selfish Individuals' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

We envision a near future in which most individuals will be equipped with powerful mobile communication devices, like smart phones or PDAs, able to establish direct communication links with each other by using short-range communication technologies like blue-tooth or wi-fi. Personal devices will be able to build completely distributed, infrastructure-less networks where nodes are carried by humans, and links appear as they get in contact. We call these networks mobile networks of individuals. Many believe that mobile networks of individuals will become one challenging and exciting technology of the future society and that they will be used to run revolutionary applications based on the social patterns of mobility and contacts. Messages will flow from individual to individual, as links appear, and fundamental information about our communities of friends or personal interests will be used to deliver personalized services like sending news on our favorite places, or information about what our friends are up to. Or, in case of emergencies or disasters, these networks could work as a basic message forwarding system to help rescue operations and to localize victims. While the societal impact of this technology can be enormous, it is also true that these networks can show critical issues in terms of tolerance of selfish behavior and security. Malicious activity and rational, egoistic user's choices are increasingly recognized as unavoidable realities in today's cooperative services. Without reliable counter-measures to these issues, the citizen will not use this technology, with a negative impact on its scientific and industrial development. This project has the goal to build some of the fundamental mechanisms that are needed to build secure, selfish-tolerant distributed syste

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Plant Terpenoids for Human Health: a chemical and genomic approach to identify and produce bioactive compounds' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Plant secondary metabolites are an important source of therapeutic drugs or drug leads. The advent of genomic and metabolomic technologies has now made it possible to bring the field of plant natural products into the 21st century and replace serendipitous and haphazard finding by rational design and discovery. This proposal is devoted to plant terpenes, the largest and most diverse group of plant natural products. TERPMED will focus on sesquiterpene lactones and phenolic diterpenes because of the presence of distinct functional groups and their high potential as novel human drugs for treating cancer and neurological disorders. By using a combination of comparative metabolomics and genomics, significant advances will be achieved in the understanding of the biosynthetic pathways of these compounds. Focusing on specific functional groups such as γ-butyrolactones and phenolics amongst the terpenes will allow the development of high-throughput analytical methodologies to detect, purify and characterize compounds bearing these groups. A comprehensive library of these compounds within a subset of plant biodiversity will be established. The compounds isolated will be tested for biological activity and the most active molecules will be selected. High throughput cDNA sequencing coupled to the comparative analysis of the metabolic profiles of targeted species will be achieved for the elucidation of the biosynthetic pathways of these compounds. Innovative production platforms using plant secretory organs such as the trichomes will be tested for the pilot production of the most promising compounds identified and the production of novel compounds by combinatorial biosynthesis.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Policy analysis with beliefs about identifying restrictions' (PABIR) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The principal tool for macroeconomic policy analysis both in the empirical literature and in actual practice at policy institutions is Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs). This research project aims to address the key controversy surrounding SVARs, namely the fact that the policy conclusions crucially depend on the choice of identifying restrictions. This choice is in practice arbitrary as there is no consensus in the literature about the credibility of the restrictions that are commonly used in applications. The central idea of this project is to allow a user to specify beliefs about the credibility of identifying restrictions. The goal is to propose methods for policy analysis that allow for flexible use of identifying restrictions, for example only using those supported by economic theory or incorporating restrictions with different degrees of credibility. These types of beliefs cannot be straightforwardly embedded into standard Bayesian analyses of SVARs and will require the development of new econometric tools. The research project aims to make both methodological and empirical contributions. On the methodological front, it will introduce to the time series literature and build on ideas from robust (multiple-prior) Bayesian analysis. At the same time, it will go beyond existing results and develop new methods that make not only a theoretical contribution, but also have useful applications outside of time series, for example to microeconometrics or, more in general, to Bayesian decision making under ambiguity. On the empirical front, the tools will enable a broad range of new applications that can help one investigate to what extent existing findings about the effectiveness of macroeconomic policy may be driven by the imposed assumptions and, ultimately, make

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Exploring the function of peripheral vision in humans using virtual reality' (Peripheality).

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of this project is to determine the functional significance of the peripheral visual field for human perception and its interaction with the motor system. While it is well established that central vision serves to resolve the fine details of the visual world and the objects in it, the reduced spatial resolution in the peripheral part of our visual field suggests that peripheral vision may have a very different role. In this project we will use an innovative combination of Virtual Reality (VR) with physiological recordings and computational modelling to examine the hypothesis that the peripheral visual field acts as a change detection mechanism. Specifically, under conditions resembling those encountered in everyday life, we will explore the presence of serial dependency (SD) effects, i.e., the integration of past with current information during visual processing. These experiments will provide the first evidence that SD strategies are employed during everyday activities in complex environments in daily life, while the nature of the SD effects (i.e. positive vs. negative) will allow us to deduce differences in the functions of the central and peripheral visual system. Importantly, the experiments will also allow us to assess whether peripheral vision is involved in a multisensory and hypersensitive ""alarm system"", an idea that has recently been proposed in the literature. Finally, by employing computational modelling methods we will attempt to provide a comprehensive theoretical account for experimental findings. Overall, this interdisciplinary project is expected to provide important insight into the basic mechanisms of human vision that are responsible for maintaining the equilibrium between visual stability and change detection over the whole visual field.""

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'An S&T cooperation initiative to improve the linkages between Canada and the European research area' (ERA-CAN) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

ERA-CAN will increase the quality, quantity, profile and impact of S&T cooperation between Canada and the European Research Area (ERA). Excellent S&T is essential for a strong knowledge-based economy, underpins the policies necessary for governance , and contributes to cohesive social visions and models. S&T excellence requires global connectivity. Thus, this proposal not only supports the specific objectives of FP6, but also contributes to the S&T foundation essential to the Europe's politic al, economic and social objectives. There is untapped potential for Canadian integration into the ERA, and for European involvement in Canadian S&T. Constraining factors include insufficient awareness of opportunities, inadequate connections amongst re searchers, the distance" hurdle to building the trust and confidence necessary for partnerships, the complexity of S&T programs on both sides, lack of assistance when navigating such programs, and the asynchronous research funding and peer review syst ems in Canada and Europe. Increasing Canada-ERA cooperation requires proactive, targeted measures. ERA-CAN, supported by 8 key federal Canadian S&T institutions making an over 58% contribution to the proposal, will deliver a range of measures to increa se Canada-Europe cooperation amongst academic, industrial and government stakeholders in all areas of science: social, medical, natural, etc. These measures include a "one-stop" website, email alerts, targeted events in both Canada and Europe, partnering a ssistance, and advice. The scope for such measures is almost endless - almost no implementation funds are currently available. This proposal will improve cooperation, and is designed to also augment dialogue and coordination amongst stakeholder institution s supporting the Canada-Europe

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Tools for cOntinuous building Performance Auditing' (TOPAs) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

As occupant behaviour can be considered as one of the main drivers of the performance gap, TOPAs will focus on reducing the gap from an operational perspective, hence supporting Post Occupancy Evaluation. Quantifying the performance gap is non-trivial, the performance gap is dependent on time and contextual factors, and individual buildings will have a particular performance gap. The delivery of energy efficiency projects through energy performance contracts and ESCOs is widely seen as a way of addressing sub-optimal post installation performance of energy efficiency technologies. Since this model is very attractive from many perspectives and is identified as a central route to delivery of energy efficiency gains in the EPBD, methods and models for the accurate measurement and verification of energy savings are essential to the growth of the ESCO market. The energy audit process is generally done for a fixed duration at a specific point in time. A key outcome is the identification and root cause analysis of energy inefficiencies and as a result a plan is put in place to minimise these inefficiencies. This can be very effective at reducing energy consumption in a building. However, from an implementation perspective, it can be difficult to identify all issues (in some cases conflicting system level goals) and the persistence of savings can be poor and as a consequence inefficiencies re-appear. Continuous energy auditing takes this one-off process and makes it a constant rolling cycle where a detailed overview of the building performance is consistently available making it possible to refine the energy management plan. TOPAs adopts the principle of continuous performance auditing and considers not only energy use but also an understanding of how buildings are used and the
