user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'High Resolution Segmentation of Brain MR Images at 7 Teslas' (HIRESBRAIN7T).

assistant: **Innovation**

The advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has brought us closer to understanding brain function in health and disease. With 7 Teslas high field MRI machines, pioneers of imaging physics have made possible in-vivo examination of the human brain at sub-millimetre scale. New imaging contrasts additionally offer rich information regarding tissue organization and composition. While many tools have been developed over the years to process automatically more conventional MRI, currently these new images are largely inspected and annotated by hand. The purpose of this proposal is to develop at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, a center with leading expertise in 7 Teslas MRI and fMRI, a series of innovative tools for automated brain image analysis. The incoming researcher, Dr. Pierre-Louis Bazin, has extensive experience in developing innovative, state-of-the-art image segmentation and analysis tools for brain MR images at 3 Teslas, including fundamental and specialized methods for brain extraction, tissue and structure segmentation, cortical reconstruction, white matter labelling and thalamic parcellation in diffusion-weighted imaging. Many of these tools have been successfully employed in large scale studies of normal aging, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and small vessel cardiovascular disease at the Johns Hopkins University and have the potential to translate well to meet the new challenges of ultra-high resolution MRI at 7 Teslas.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Identifying the genes responsible for the expansion of the human cerebral cortex'.

assistant: **Concept**

The goal of this research proposal is to unravel the molecular and cell biological basis underlying the expansion of the human cerebral cortex. Specifically, we wish to identify the genes responsible for the increase in the generation of cortical neurons from neural stem and progenitor cells that occurs during primate evolution. We will take two complementary approaches. One is to characterize the differences between mouse and human cerebral cortex with regard to the molecular and cell biological features of neural stem and progenitor cells, their mode of division, and the generation of neurons from these cells. Among the observed differences, human-specific features of cortical progenitor cells will then be identified by comparison with various non-human primates. The resulting candidate genes will be expressed in mouse embryonic cortical progenitors by in utero electroporation and tested for their ability to reconstitute human-like cortical progenitors in vivo. The second approach is based on a novel technology that allows us to introduce the total pool of mRNAs expressed in human cortical progenitors into mouse cortical progenitors in organotypic slice culture. This technology will be used to functionally screen for human genes able to generate human-like cortical progenitors in the mouse embryonic cortex. Human genes validated by these two approaches will then be used to generate acute transgenic mouse embryos and transgenic mouse lines that show a gyrencephalic, primate-like cerebral cortex. This research proposal will provide fundamental insight into the process of human cortical expansion, which provides the cellular basis of higher brain function, and establish an essential basis for future progenitor cell-based therapies for the diseased human brain.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'European Virus Archive' (EVA), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

During the past 70 years or more, thousands of viruses have been isolated and partly characterised by experts working in different countries worldwide. These viruses potentially provide a unique and extremely valuable medical and educational resource for research and development to understand the basis of virus diseases, and to develop modern state of the art strategies for disease control. However, nowhere in the world has there been an attempt to coordinate these collections of viruses so that they can be authenticated, amplified under quality-controlled conditions, stored long-term, and disseminated worldwide to laboratories engaged in fundamental and/or applied research. Without carefully coordinated intervention, these valuable resources will be lost to science and medicine. The objective of this project is therefore to develop a readily accessible virus reference library at the European level through the creation of the European Virus Archive (EVA). Since it would create insurmountable problems to develop such a collection in a single laboratory, EVA will utilise the expertise and facilities of recognised centres of excellence in virology within Europe. EVA will also exploit the high international reputations of these centres to obtain viruses currently held outside Europe. The management structure of EVA will ensure the highest standards of quality assurance, security, traceability and dissemination for the benefit of science, medicine, education and global information. The EVA network will develop appropriate protocols for virus amplification, supported by sustainable long-term storage facilities. The resource will be available to all users who can demonstrate the appropriate biosecurity credentials. An associated technology transfer centre will develop products

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The Foreshock and its Role in Solar-Terrestrial relations' (FRoST) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

There is a critical need for accurate space weather forecasting, due to the growing use of technologies vulnerable to space weather hazards. However, refining the current models requires a more detailed understanding of solar-terrestrial relations, especially during extreme events such as magnetic clouds (MCs) which drive the fiercest storms at Earth. To this end, FRoST will investigate a previously unexplored aspect of the interaction of MCs with the terrestrial environment: the role played by the foreshock, a turbulent region extending upstream of the Earth's bow shock. The objectives of FRoST are (1) to characterise the foreshock properties during MC events, (2) to investigate how these alter in turn the properties of the region at the interface between the solar wind and the magnetosphere, the magnetosheath, and (3) assess whether the influence of the foreshock can be significant and thus should be included in space weather models. To undertake this challenging task, we will take on an interdisciplinary approach, combining numerical simulations and spacecraft observations. This project is now made possible by the extensive datasets acquired in the recent years and by the pioneering Vlasiator simulation, developed by the Host Group, which is the world's only global hybrid-Vlasov simulation and offers an unprecedented description of the near-Earth environment. Through FRoST, the Experienced Researcher (ER) will develop her skills in numerical physics, while bringing to the Host Group her expertise in data analysis. This diversification of her competencies will significantly increase the ER's career prospects. The Supervisor's strong record of scientific excellence and experience in mentoring early-career researchers will further ensure the successful execution of FRoS

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Concealed Objects Stand-Off Real-Time Imaging for Security', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The project will develop a demonstrator for stand-off real-time concealed object detection for future implementations of high throughput security screening for European mass-transit markets and infrastructure security. The technological approach will incorporate a dual-frequency passive submillimetre-wave video camera, coupled with an active 340 GHz 3D imaging radar system. Both systems will be integrated with a suitable set of image forming optics and scanning optomechanics. Sensor data fusion will merge the passive system ""colour"" map with the radar topographic map of any concealed items. Automatic Anomaly Detection algorithms will be developed in order to improve automation and to mitigate privacy issues. The system will undergo an end-user demonstration at a European airport.The ethical issues surrounding the use of stand-off body scanners will be evaluated by a group of experts who will provide advice to ensure that the technology will be deployable from an ethical standpoint, facilitating a “privacy-by-design” approach.The involvement of end-users is of utmost importance. The consortium includes end-users as project partners who will ensure that maximum relevance and impact to the end-users is secured. The consortium will also address the exploitation of the technology developed within the project, especially considering the commercialisation and manufacture of the technology through the several SMEs involved in the project.""

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Unravelling high CO2-induced changes in stomatal development' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Stomata are epidermal valves responsible for gas exchange in plant aerial tissues. Their number varies according to different environmental conditions, such as CO2 concentration. High CO2 levels negatively regulate stomatal development, but how such a repression works is poorly understood. In Arabidopsis thaliana, stomatal precursor cells develop asynchronously throughout leaf epidermis, undergoing a first asymmetric entry division that generates a small meristemoid and a larger stomatal lineage ground cell (SLGC). Meristemoids can go through up to three asymmetric amplifying divisions before forming mature stomata, while SLGCs can either undergo asymmetric spacing division or differentiate into pavement cells. How each of the three meristemoid division types are affected by CO2 is still unknown. Moreover, stomata form with the underlying mesophyll layer in a coordinated way. Both tissues are involved in CO2 sensing and high CO2 levels can affect their development. What are the factors regulating stomatal development modulation, and whether or not an interlayer coordination is required upon high CO2 conditions, has remained unexplored. The proposed project aims to unravel CO2-induced developmental response in leaf, understanding 1) how stomatal asymmetric divisions are affected by CO2, 2) what are the layer-specific regulators, 3) the mechanisms of developmental response. Spatiotemporal lineage tracing, tissue-specific transcriptomics and creation of selected mutant lines will be employed to elucidate how CO2 modulates leaf developmental program. To reach the proposed goals, I will be supervised in advanced confocal microscopy, bioinformatic analysis, oral and written communication of the research and developing of transferable skills.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'African monsoon multidisciplinary analysis' (AMMA), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The dramatic change in the region of the West African monsoon (WAM) from wet conditions in the 50s and 60s to much drier conditions from the 70s to the 90s represents one of the strongest inter-decadal signals on the planet in the 20th century. Marked inter-annual variations in recent decades have resulted in extremely dry years with devastating environmental and socio-economic impacts. The abrupt decrease of water resources in the Sahel divided by two the cattle population and some exportation cultures disappeared. Vulnerability of West African societies to climate variability is likely to increase in the next decades as demands on resources increase due to the rapidly growing population. The situation may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change, land degradation caused by the growing population and water pollution. Motivated by the need to develop strategies to reduce the socioeconomic impacts of climate variability and change in WAM we aim : i) To improve our ability to predict the WAM and its impacts on intra-seasonal to decadal timescales, ii) To improve our ability to predict the consequences of climate change on WAM variability and its impacts.These objectives will be achieved in the African Monsoon Multidisciplinar/ Analysis (AMMA) project by re-enforcing the regional environmental monitoring systems and conducting intensive field campaigns.This will lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved and in-fine improve our models and their predictive skills. The observational system will cover the regional water cycle, the atmospheric dynamics and chemistry, the land-surface and oceanic conditions. It will cover 3 time scales : i) a long term monitoring, ii) an enhanced observing period of two years and iii) a special observing periods over one r

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Resistance of Ni-Cermet anode supports against Reduction-Oxidation cycling: A step towards better durability of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Innovation**

The proposal deals with the durability of solid oxide fuel cells, focusing on the anode and anode supports. One of the major technological challenges that have to be overcome in order for the promising SOFC technology to become a real option in the global electricity generation is to bring the durability of the cells to an acceptable level. The degradation mechanisms are not yet fundamentally known. The most drastic conditions for most practical SOFC applications are changes from reducing to oxidising atmos phere and backwards on the anode side. This process, called a Reduction-Oxidation (RedOx) cycle, is very critical for the performance of a SOFC stack, especially in small scale (1-5 kW) systems. The project aims to improve the RedOx stability of SOFC anode s and involves work in three phases. 1) selection of novel materials for Ni-passivation and for the enhancement of sintering of the ceramic anode support structure will be evaluated. 2) anode supports with different additions of passivation elements and si ntering additives are prepared and RedOx-cycled. 3) The influence of the macroscopic anode support expansion during oxidation on the thin-deposited electrolyte layer will be tested and optimised for the most promising anode supports found.The project will be conducted within the fuel cell programme of the Risoe National Laboratory, Materials Research Department, Roskilde, Denmark. The objective of the project is to build fundamental knowledge in SOFC technology through advanced research training, create a n ew competence area for the applicant and after the fellowship, to add to the Finnish SOFC competence pool through a continuing research career in the field. The project also aims to deepen of the already-established R and D co-operation between the two cou ntr
