user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Damage of coral reefs by recreational activities - restoration strategies and the development of novel markers for environmental stress' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The main objectives of the proposed research are:* To carry out a long term quantitative account of species diversity in 4 different localities along northern Red Sea coral reefs (Hurghada, Ras Muhammad, Nueiba, Eilat). In each place, heavily visited and less visited sites will be studied.* To establish an active restoration protocol by following the success of sexual and asexual coral recruits in situ.* To establish an ubiquitous reef-stress bioassay (HSP70) and to assess the stress loads from tourist activities in different reef localities.* To provide the scientific community and decision-making authorities with data for best assessment towards the active conservation of Red Sea coral reefs.Expected Outcome* Compliance with the INCO-DC work programme objectives. The nations within the frame of the European Community are obliged to contribute to the management of the coastal areas in the Red Sea in general and to the rehabilitation of the coral reefs in particular.* The expected benefits for the society: In this proposal biological/ecological as well as biochemical strategies are developed to monitor coral reefs in tourist areas and to restore the environment by transplantation of corals into the denuded areas.* Description of the subject - impact of recreational activities: More and more research studies are oriented towards the impacts of recreational activities. These studies identify and evaluate the effects of runoff and sewage discharges from tourist resorts, recreational fishing and boating impacts, effects of SCUBA and skin diving, the effects of human trampling on coral reefs and sediment resuspension. These studies clearly show that recreational activities by innocent" visitors are usually characterized by significant damage, both directly and indirectly.* G

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Active wave-guides tunable in the visible produced by low energy electron bombardment in alkali fluoride films' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objectives that the present project seeks to achieve are the realisation, characterisation and optimisation of active waveguides operating at room temperature tunable in the green-red wavelength region based on alkali fluoride films coloured by low energy electron beams with the aim of a full compatibility with integrated optics technology.The expected results are: - at the end of the first phase, the realisation of passive and active waveguide characterised by optical losses-gain ratio one order of magnitude lower than the presently reached;- at the end of the project, the realisation of optically active components, i.e. tunable light emitters, lasers and amplifiers. The work will proceed simultaneously in the realisation, characterisation, testing and optimisation of both passive and active waveguides.If successful the project will proceed, during the second phase, towards the optimisation of the deposition parameters and to optical components design and engineering.In the fast growing field of optoelectronics, active waveguides tunable in the green-red visible region operating at room temperature will surely find a huge application, in for instance tunable light emitters, laser and amplifiers. Up to now, it was not possible to find appropriate materials able to fulfil the compatibility requirements with the current integrated optic technologies. These shortcomings could be overcome by the use of alkali fluoride films coloured by low energy electron beams. The straightforward application of this class of materials is still limited by the their low refractive index, which introduces serious problems in the preparation of low losses-high gain waveguide. The large effort devoted to this class of materials has given promising results, attesting the feasibility of prod

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Somatic mutations in vascular-wall function and age-associated disease' (SOMATICART), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Already in 1973, Benditt and Benditt found that the atherosclerotic plaque was clonal and proposed that it was a neoplasm of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Recent technical advances have made it possible to analyze somatic mutations in human tissues and show that somatic cells accumulate thousands of mutations during development and aging. While most of the mutations are harmless, some either contribute to disease and aging or are directly disease-causative, as in the formation of tumors in cancer. The arterial wall is in part composed of clonal VSMC elements, making this tissue particularly vulnerable to somatic mutagenesis. However, detailed analysis and insight into the extent of somatic variance in the vascular tissue is lacking. Here we plan to analyze the somatic mutations in the arterial wall and relate it to age-associated cardiovascular disease (CVD). We will create an atlas of somatic mutations in the human arterial wall at single-cell resolution in health and disease. We will apply single-cell sequencing in arterial tissue to map somatic mutations. Functional significance of somatic mutagenesis in the vascular wall will be validated using data on gene regulatory networks of relevance in human CVD and disease models with induced somatic mutations in VSMC. The model will have a mosaic pattern of mutation and fate of mutated cells will be mapped by lineage tracing in the development and progression of CVD. Our research provides insight into the prevalence, nature and functional significance of somatic genetic events in the healthy and diseased vascular wall.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Next-generation Modeling of Sedimentary Ice-sheet Dynamics', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Global sea level changes are grand humanitarian challenges in the 21st century and beyond. The biggest contributor and uncertainty to sea-level projections is dynamical ice-mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Fast-moving ice primarily flows by sliding over weak and water-saturated sedimentary deposits that are reshaped into undulations and depositional wedges in the process.Current ice-sheet models do not account for transport of sediment under ice, and commonly assume that basal friction increases if ice flow accelerates. In this project I propose to address these shortcomings by deriving a realistic coupled framework for glacier ice, water and sediment. The sediment model is constrained by laboratory experiments and is coupled to a new model of subglacial hydrology. The ice-water-sediment model is compared to landforms and sedimentary deposits from previous glaciations, as well as contemporary ice sheet flow patterns. The framework allows analysis of climate-perturbation sensitivity, with particular investigation into the dynamical evolution of ice flow and basal environment. By incorporating previously neglected processes, the developed model framework will improve the accuracy of predicted global-mean sea-level change in the future.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Supporting consolidation, replication and up-scaling of sustainable wastewater treatment and reuse technologies for India' (SARASWATI).

assistant: **Innovation**

The poor condition of sanitation and wastewater management in India (as in many Asian countries) is well documented and has recently led the Asian Development Bank to call for a revolution in wastewater management across Asia. Conventional, centralized approaches have failed in many areas and will hardly be able to solve potential problems in rural, hilly and rapidly developing urban areas in India. Instead, innovative, decentralised systems aiming at various benefits are needed. A main benefit in the context of SARASWATI is the reuse of treated wastewater for different purposes. Other benefits include reuse of energy and nutrients, which are also important. Despite the overall poor condition of wastewater treatment across South Asia, India has already considerable experience with such decentralised approaches. Over the last decade, hundreds of decentralised wastewater treatment plants of different technology types have been installed all over India. However, not all are functioning well and several also failed, due to various reasons. Also, there is no consolidated evaluation and review of all those existing plants available. As a result there is only very limited knowledge on the performance of those existing technologies available and a review and evaluation of those plants is very timely in order to derive sound conclusions and recommendations for future wastewater management strategies in India. SARASWATI will perform such a comprehensive and independent evaluation and hence provide key suggestions for the improvement of existing technologies.  In addition, SARASWATI aims at deploying selected proven EU technologies with a potential for solving grave water challenges in India (water pollution due to discharge of untreated wastewater and storm-water, water scarcity

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Fostering responsive mental health systems in the Syrian refugee crisis'.

assistant: **Concept**

STRENGTHS aims to provide effective community-based health care implementation strategies to scale-up the delivery and uptake of effective mental health interventions in different country contexts. The current refugee crisis across Europe and the Middle East effects both individual refugees’ psychological well-being, as they face extreme stressors in their flight from their home country, but also has large effects on the healthcare systems of countries housing refugees. In reponse to this crisis, the STRENGTHS project aims to provide a framework for scaling-up the delivery and uptake of effective community-based mental health strategies to address the specific needs of refugees within and outside Europe’s borders.STRENGTHS will outline necessary steps needed to integrate evidence based low-intensity psychological interventions for common mental disorders into health systems in Syria’s surrounding countries taking up the majority of refugees  (Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan), a LMIC (Egypt) and European  countries (Germany, Switzerland the Netherlands and Sweden). The consortium is a unique partnership between academics, non-governmental organisations (NGOs),  international agencies and local partners with the responsibility to provide and scale-up evidence-based mental health and psychosocial support interventions for refugees.Key preparatory steps in the local political, regulatory and governance processes for uptake and scaling-up of the intervention and key contextual and system-related factors for integration will be validated for the real-life impact on the responsiveness of the system. The low-intensity interventions and training materials will be adapted and implemented in Syrian refugees within Syria’s surrounding countries taking up the majority of refugees  (Turke

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'TRADECOM: Trader communication, collaboration and compliance system' (TRADECOM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

In the proposed project, TRADECOM: Trader communication, collaboration and compliance system, the project partners will develop and validate innovative hardware and software solutions to meet the communication, collaboration and compliance needs of financial services, energy and commodity trading and brokerage markets.The TRADECOM project partners will design and develop a new desktop communication endpoint (known as a trader turret) that will provide traders and brokers with high-quality, instant, private and secure group communications using intuitive user interfaces. The partners will also develop and implement necessary backend communication and media services to enable scalable, resilient and compliant call routing and recording via the internet and cloud services. The project will introduce new middleware that will link trader turrets to corporate computer systems, enabling turret functions to be accessed from enterprise applications (e.g. click-to-dial) and application data to be accessed from the turret (e.g. contacts and call groups). This will provide traders with more efficient ways to manage communications and workflow between the turret and other desktop systems. The TRADECOM turret will be designed to interoperate with Speakerbus’ emerging virtual turret (vTurret) services, which will replicate the TRADECOM trader communication services on desk and mobile devices. This will enable traders to work away from their main TRADECOM turret and still access specialist voice and data communication services. An important focus of the project will be to pilot and demonstrate the integrated TRADECOM systems in real operational environments and to assess the impact for traders and trading organisations. Taken together, these innovations will disrupt the trader voice ma

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Sound it out: inferring foraging ecology from a predator-embarked acoustic recorder'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Like many seabirds, penguins face the challenge of provisioning young on shore from a constantly changing food resource at sea requiring efficient localization and exploitation of ephemeral prey aggregations. For penguins, this critical activity is taking place against a backdrop of global warming which is rapidly changing the physical and biological environment in the Southern Ocean. Given the difficulties and expense in following animals at sea, bio-logging devices have been a key tool for studying penguins and have yielded important data on individual movement and foraging tactics. However, for an animal that is so notably social in its dense colonies, remarkably little is known about social interactions at sea or within the colony, and whether these aid or thwart foraging. Through SOUNDBITES, I will collect the first acoustic and multi-sensor data from penguins during foraging trips providing a revolutionary new view of how penguins locate and exploit resources. SOUNDBITES will (I) develop and test on captive seabirds a novel, advanced multi-sensor acoustic tag, the seabirdDTAG, that will enable studies of their interactions, foraging ecology and energetics, (II) deploy the tag on Adélie penguins reproducing in the Antarctic, to examine the role of intraspecific communication in resource acquisition through studies of foraging decisions during consecutive foraging trips in breeding partners. In accomplishing SOUNDBITES’ objectives, I will open a powerful new way to study vocal interactions in seabirds and enable detailed reconstruction of foraging decisions and success in the context of vocal interchange with conspecifics. These unique data, directly relevant to European Commission’s Biodiversity Strategy, will help assess the resilience of these central place forag

user: Explain how 'Furan and lignin based resins as eco-friendly and durable solutions for wood preservation, panel, board and design products' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The risk of toxic and strongly debated wood preservation materials and specific binders starts only now to be taken very seriously by politics and by the public. Currently, about 6.5 million m3 preserved wood is annually produced in Europe and finds its way to the consumer in several commonly used end products. The European consumption of resins, produced from non-eco friendly starting materials, for wood based panel production in 2003 was close to 4 million tons. Through the expected new products that will emerge from this ECOBINDERS project into society, the amount of toxic materials found in every household in Europe today, will be diminished significantly. The main objectives of this project therefore are:  * To develop a new class of biomass based binders (furfuryl alcohol/sulphur-free lignin) * To develop innovative and sustainable processes for these multifunctional binders by using an integrated chain  approach combining multi-sectorial interests * To develop durable wood : a sustainable alternative for currently used, but strongly debated toxic wood protection  agents (a.o. chromated copper arsenic salts) * To develop emission-free panel & boards for indoor use to replace the traditionally used, formaldeh yde releasing,  products * To develop water and organic solvent resistant 3D design products for in- and outdoor use In order to achieve these ambitious project goals, a consortium of 15 SMEs, representing the whole chain of raw material s uppliers to the final end producers, have joined their efforts. Due to the multi-disciplinary character of the research, a selected group of outstanding universities and RTD performers will participate in this project, that will involve an estimated tota l budget of about 10.8 million EUROS.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Development of a novel, on-line genotoxicity monitor integrated with an effluent toxicity treatment system' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Scientific objectives and approach:The aim of the project is to address the gap in continuous genotoxicity testing technology. The state of the art will be improved by providing a continuous system, which is cheap and robust. This will be achieved by developing a biosensor based on living yeasts. The yeasts have been engineered to produce a fluorescent signal in response to gene damage. Laboratory equipment to quantify this response has been designed and tested. The method to be used is to initially assess the types of waste streams, which are most problematic to the participating SMEs. Then the genotoxicity sensor will be developed in parallel with the relevant treatment methods for the waste streams. A control system will also be developed to ensure that the treatment method is continuously reacting and thus treating the effluent stream.Problems to be solved:The key objective of the project is to provide a solution to the problem of continuous genotoxicity testing for effluent streams. At present genotoxicity testing is time consuming and thus highly expensive. This is a socio-economic issue because current methods are not cost effective for SMEs. We are concerned to resolve it because many SMEs in various industries have an increasing need to monitor the toxicity of their waste streams. If the problem is not resolved there will be considerable damage to our aquatic environment and with devastating effects on our biodiversity and wildlife.There is no legislation at present requiring all industry to carry out genotoxicity testing, although the International Standards Organisation (ISO) has outlined the need for genotoxicity testing in ISO 10993-3: 'Tests for Genotoxicity, Carcinogenicity and Reproductive Toxicity'. In addition industrial consents are already required i
