user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Development of methods to identify foods produced by means of genetic engineering' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

In the near future foods produced by means of genetic engineering will be increasingly commercially available. On the other hand the EU Regulation No. 258/97 on Novel Foods and Novel Food Ingredients requires labelling of such foods. Thus validated methods to identify genetically modified foods must be available to the food control. The analytical techniques applied within the scope of the project are predominantly based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and hybridization techniques using specific probes in different variations. But also alternative approaches to DNA diagnostic methods - i.e. immunochemical protein analysis - are applied.The project aims to develop and evaluate methods for the identification of foods produced by genetic engineering and to provide a data bank. Six methods will be choosen for intercomparison studies. These methods shall be internationalized to facilitate the exchange of products and to support the harmonization of labelling practice. Therefore methods succesfully applied in ringtesting studies will be proposed for conversion into CEN standards.A variety of DNA extraction methods were developed for raw and processed foods. Many primer pairs have been deduced and were used to test the quality of extracted DNA for the PCR. Extraction methods and deduced primer were compared between partners so that on the basis of these results ringtesting of elevated methods can start during the second year of the project. Methods were developed to identify kanamycin (PCR) and hygromycin resistance (PCR ELISA) in transgenic plants. NASBA and 3SR techniques have been initiated in microorganisms. AFLP fingerprinting technique was applied succesfully with DNA isolated from dried rice grains. The structure of a data bank was developed so that parallely a modul

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Understanding High-Temperature Oxidation of Nickel- and Iron-Based Alloys in Hydrogen-Rich Environments for Energy Applications'.

assistant: **Concept**

The project aims to comprehensively study the high-temperature oxidation behaviour of NiCr and FeCr alloys with alloying additions of e.g., Ti, Mn and Si in the wet/hydrogen-containing atmospheres with emphasis on the growth mechanisms and failure of surface Cr-oxide scales. While these materials have been well-studied in oxygen and air, their performance in the atmospheres than can be encountered in hydrogen power plants and fuel cells, remains unexplored. This research is therefore relevant to the ongoing transition towards hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. Understanding how Ni- and Fe-based materials behave in such conditions is essential for developing more efficient and durable components for power generation.The project will utilize a combination of thermodynamic modeling (ThermoCalc, FactSage) and advanced experimental techniques, including e.g., oxidation testing, Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction and TEM/APT (Transmission Electron Microscopy/Atom Probe Tomography). The use of correlative TEM/APT will enable the study of grain boundary diffusion and selective oxidation, providing insights into fast diffusion pathways and oxidation mechanism at the atomic level. Oxygen isotopes will also be used as tracers to allow for quantitative analysis of the elemental distribution providing unique insights into the oxidation mechanisms, crucial for correlating microstructural features with oxidation kinetics and identifying the role of minor elements in material degradation processes.The research will be conducted in an iterative approach, refining theoretical models based on experimental findings to optimize alloy compositions for high-temperature, hydrogen-rich environments. This comprehensive approach will not only advance the fundamental understandi

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Noncommutative geometry and quantum groups' (2002-2006), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Noncommutative geometry is a relatively new branch of mathematics that grew out of a fusion of operator algebras and differential geometry. Among most important motivations for the first formalism is quantum mechanics. For the second one, it is the general theory of relativity. The concept of noncommutative or quantum spaces provides a new paradigm in bothmathematics and physics. Due to its significantly new perspective, noncommutative geometry requires the development of a number of tools that are motivat ed by and tested on important examples of quantum groups and spaces.The long-term research aim of this project is twofold. Our first objective is to develop the formalism of topological quantum groups and principal bundles and apply it to crucial problems in mathematics, such as the Baum-Connes conjecture, and in mathematical models of physics, such as Yang-Mills or gauge theory. The second objective concerns the construction of cyclic theory that would both serve as a tool in computing K-theoretical invari ants and be adapted to the symmetry of given examples. In particular, this should address the dimensional drop occurring in quantum-group examples. The success in achieving the aforementioned goals hinges greatly on our ability to import knowledge and skil ls in areas such as spectral triples, graph C*-algebras and factors, Poisson geometry, foliations, multiplier Hopf algebras, Yetter-Drinfeld modules, q-special functions, KK-theory and the Baum-Connes conjecture. To this end, it is necessary to establish n ew collaboration links with experts in these areas of mathematics. This is what the transfer of knowledge programme is aimed to achieve.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Development of Fast Kinetics Metal Hydride Alloys & Battery Electrodes For High Power Application'.

assistant: **Innovation**

A method for the manufacturing of metal hydride alloy powders with fast reaction kinetics and improved initial activation behaviour has been developed. The activated MH powders can be discharged with current densities higher than 2 A/g to 80% of their maximum capacity. Maximum discharge capacities are available after only a view activation cycles.The limiting steps for metal hydride alloy respectively metal hydride electrode kinetics have been identified as surface reactions on the metal hydride. Metal hydrides with remarkably improved surface activity have been manufactured in laboratory scale. On the basis of these investigations an up-scaled process for powder production has been developed. In parallel the influence of the electrode and cell design on battery kinetics have been investigated. Electrode manufacturing, additives, current collector etc. have been optimised.The metal hydride electrodes developed under this project can be used as negative electrodes in alkaline batteries for industrial applications, substituting the state-of the art cadmium electrodes. Moreover, these electrodes are characterised by the high power capability (discharges up to 10 C) according to the alloy performance and the other electrode components: nickel fibre substrate, active material formulation and electrode preparation procedures.With the improved electrode materials and battery manufacturing techniques prototype batteries have been manufactured and successfully tested in standard test equipment as well as in application tests. In deep discharge cycling 80% of the battery capacity was available at 10C discharge rate. The measured maximum specific power has been about 600 W/kg.Objectives and content Since 1991, Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries as an alternative to Nickel

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Multiomic DNA Chip Technology for Blood Cancer Profiling' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Blood cancers remain challenging to diagnose and monitor due to the standard of care requirement for bone marrow biopsies and limitations in current biomarker detection technologies. DNA modifications, specifically 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)—are powerful epigenetic regulators in blood cancer development, providing valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. Despite their clinical importance, current technologies fail to simultaneously detect both 5mC and 5hmC with precision and efficiency, creating a significant barrier to clinical implementation of these epigenetic marks.This proposal introduces an innovative microarray platform that overcomes these limitations by enabling simultaneous profiling of both 5mC and 5hmC modifications from blood samples within a single, cost-effective assay. Unlike current methods that struggle with modification differentiation, sample degradation, and complex workflows, our technology offers a streamlined approach that preserves sample integrity while delivering superior diagnostic accuracy. Our innovation lies in the ability to distinguish different cytosine modifications (MULTI-C), which provides significantly enhanced diagnostic accuracy compared to single-marker approaches. The platform's remarkable sensitivity allows detection from minimal DNA inputs, making it ideally suited for minimally-invasive liquid biopsy applications—a critical advancement for patient monitoring and precision medicine in hematological malignancies. This research has the potential to transform how blood cancers are diagnosed, monitored, and treated by addressing a fundamental technological gap in epigenetic profiling and reducing the need for bone marrow biopsies.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Advanced research training on the conservation of cultural heritage' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The underpinning principle of European patrimony is that our cultural heritage is an invaluable legacy and integral to our future: in recognition of the fragile and finite nature of our heritage, European policy has sought to identify the best, most sustai nable means of conserving our cultural heritage. This single host Early Stage Training (EST) presented by the Councilfor Scientific Research (CSIC), the most important multidisciplinary research organisation in Spain, offers a multidisciplinary and structu red humanistic, scientific and technological training on CULTURAL HERITAGE. This EST represents the first multidisciplinary approach to the study of conservation of cultural assets and materials in the frame of Marie Curie Actions (MCA). Although we recogn ize a MCA cannot cover the whole Cultural Heritage spectrum, this EST on specific and inter connected areas, which likely corresponds with the most innovative, in terms of research and application of novel instrumentation, will serve as the basis to provid e state-of-the-art, early stage research training within an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary environment which includes archaeology, chemistry and material science, physics, geology and biology. Theintegral research training offered will put researc hers in contact with the leading and most active teams using sophisticatedand novel instrumentation for the diagnosis and study of deterioration and conservation problems in cultural heritage. This represent a unique opportunity for young people seeking fo r a research training and a structured formation in an area demanding new professionals. This EST is the result of a long-standing collaboration among the 9 host CSIC Institutes with overlapping and complementary expertise. This is an action of 48 months i n

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'OPTIMising the energy USe in cities with smart decision support system (OPTIMUS)' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Cities are expected to play a key role in the implementation of Europe 2020 strategy. The city authorities need to lead relevant actions towards energy-efficient neighborhoods. Engaging city authorities in this respect is of paramount importance.Although there are plenty of energy and other related data sets available in city level, their appropriate integration for local authorities' decision support remains a challenge. Indeed, there are no approaches and respective systems using multidisciplinary data sources to analyze and integrate them in a smart way, towards cities' energy optimization.The overall vision of the project OPTIMising the energy USe in cities with smart decision support systems (OPTIMUS)" is the design, development and implementation of a Decision Support System (DSS) addressed to city authorities, in order to assist them to optimize the energy use in their premises and reduce CO2 emissions.OPTIMUS will provide an integrated ICT platform that will collect and structure open data sets from five domains (namely: weather conditions, social mining, buildings' energy profiles, energy prices, energy production). Moreover, OPTIMUS will use semantic/intelligent technologies so as to combine them and propose energy optimization plans. The resulting web-based DSS will be validated through pilot applications in three different cities: Savona (Italy), Sant Cugat del Vallès (Spain) and Zaanstad (The Netherlands).OPTIMUS will have, by design, the necessary degree of generalization so as to be easily adapted to cities with different characteristics. This is related to another goal of the project, i.e. to produce an advanced and intelligent turn-key solution addressed to any city that has as purpose to implement and monitor sustainable energy action plans."

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'A new concept of granite sawing machinery' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Nowadays the production shemes of natural stone manufacturing companies, and particularly those manufacturing granite products, are quite constrained by the limitations of current sawing machinery that seem to have reached an efficiency limit. This situation has no perspectives of improvement unless the whole model is restructured. The present project intends to design an innovative system for sawing granite blocks, based in a new concept that radically changes the current procedures of traditional machinery. This new concept integrates innovative ideas both for the mechanical design (including an original arrangement of the sawing elements: a bi-wire machine, a penta-wire machine and a final multi-wire machine and block handing devices: rail supported), the sawing tool itself and the waste management not using pollutant components, in a quite simple system. The expected efficiency rounds seven times that of the traditional methods.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'EPOCAL: an Electrical POwer Center for Aeronautical Loads'.

assistant: **Concept**

The main objective of the current proposal is the development of an Electrical Power Center (EPC) integrated with a devoted Control Console (CC), enhanced with advanced electrical power management strategies. The proposal is based on the following keypoints:1) an Electrical Power Center equipped with Solid State Power Controllers (SSPCs) for both energy management and protection functions will be implemented. Most recent technologies will be included in the power center, referring to the recent state-of-art, in order to guarantee compliance with selected aeronautical standards. The SSPC component will be ad-hoc designed for the implementation of both the power management strategies and protection functionalities.2) a firmware will be implemented for monitoring and supervision of the EPC, particularly referring to Electrical-Energy Management (E-EM) concept verification. The EPC will be equipped with a software able to perform several analysis, referring to preprocessing (i.e. configurations pretesting), (i.e. monitoring and energy management logics implementation) and postprocessing (i.e. plotting and comparison between measured and simulated quantities).The proposed Project follows a typical workflow based on requirements analysis, specs derivation, design phase, physical implementation, testing phase, results analysis versus simulations and final equipment validation.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The Quest for MAGNetIc Fields in A and F TYpe Stars' (MAGNIFY) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous and have a substantial impact on galactic, stellar and planetary evolution and on life. Theoretical models imply that magnetic fields can affect stars from the deep interior to the outermost layers at each stage of evolution. Yet the origin, geometry and evolution of magnetic fields often remain a mystery. Consequently, standard stellar evolution models do not consider the interaction of magnetic fields with other physical processes.Extensive surveys show that only 10% of the intermediate-mass A&F-type main-sequence stars have detectable magnetic fields. However, studies show that up to 60% of red giant stars that evolve from these stars have strong internal magnetic fields. Stellar evolution dictates that if the magnetic fields exist in these red giants, they must also exist in younger stars. This discrepancy raises many open questions: Have surface magnetic fields in A&F stars been below the detection threshold of modern instruments? Are their magnetic fields confined to stellar interiors and never penetrate the surface? If so, how may we detect them? Are there physical processes that prevent A and F stars from producing and maintaining stable magnetic fields?MAGNIFY aims at answering these questions by 1) investigating the existence of internal and surface magnetic fields in A&F stars using asteroseismology and 2) exploring the mechanisms producing magnetic fields by studying stellar spots. With asteroseismology, we can use stellar pulsations to probe deep into the stellar interior to detect the presence of hidden magnetic fields. We will use data from the Kepler, TESS and Gaia space missions to study A&F type pulsators and use stellar evolution and pulsation models to disentangle the signatures of magnetic fields from other physical pr

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Improving Educational Outcomes by Transforming the Selection of Future Teachers' (SELECTION) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The most effective way of improving education systems is to improve the quality of teachers; a fundamental step to improve the quality of teachers is to select candidates for training who possess the 'soft skills' or non-cognitive traits and attributes that are related to effective teaching. Prof. Robert Klassen’s research will draw on interdisciplinary educational and occupational psychology frameworks to develop an evidence-based teacher training selection approach based on an innovative situational judgment test (SJT) methodology. This is ground-breaking research, as current selection procedures are ad hoc with little or no theory grounding or evidence of predictive validity. The project will dramatically improve the accuracy of the teacher candidate selection process, build understanding of the short- and long-term predictive validity of the non-cognitive attributes of prospective teachers, and provide system-wide educational improvements by increasing the quality of candidates entering teacher training programs. The ERC funding presents an opportunity for a novel high-rewards approach to applied educational psychology research that has the potential to markedly improve teacher quality and educational outcomes.
