user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Forecasting Global Change Impacts On Ecosystems Using a Unified Plant Functional Spectrum'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Functional traits of organisms determine their responses to the environment, disturbances, biotic interactions, but also their effects on ecosystem processes. Therefore trait-based approaches can potentially advance our understanding of complex ecological questions. However, straightforward approaches for accurate predictions of community composition and ecosystem functioning from traits are not yet available. Studies have considered different traits, which hampers synthesis, and analytical tools have been limited. Trait-based predictions need a holistic approach incorporating all aspects of the functional structure of plant communities within a unified plant functional space (UPFS) that considers the independent information provided by above- and belowground traits. PLECTRUM takes advantage of the UPFS and provides solutions for three of the most intractable problems for trait-based ecology: (i) the dimensionality of functional variation across ecosystems, (ii) predicting functional structure from environmental variables, and (iii) using this knowledge to forecast the effects of global change on functional structure, ecosystem functioning, and species’ extinction risk. I will combine the information from massive datasets of vegetation plots and plant traits with the first global standardized sampling of key above- and belowground traits. I will use this data to quantify functional dimensionality across ecosystems, and estimate the position of thousands of species in the UPFS. Then, I will use species distributions in the UPFS analogous to images and apply deep learning methods to link the functional structure of communities to ecosystem functioning and environmental change. The methodological toolbox developed in the project, combined with the synergy of aboveground an

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project '1999 Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Islet Study Group' (EASD), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The present application concerns the 1999 Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Diabetes (EASD) Islet Study Group. This 3-day meeting will take place in Durbuy (Belgium) from October 2 to 4, 1999. It includes a keynote (State-of-the-Art Lecture) presentation by Dr. R.Unger (Dallas, Texas), 12 lectures by invited speakers, a poster session (80 posters expected) and 2 poster discussion sessions (for 8 selected poster presentations). It will be attended by no more than 100 active participants. The field of pancreatic islet research is most relevant to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus, a disease that affects several hundred of million of patients in the world.In this field, the contribution of European scientists exceeds that of other continents, including North America. It is the sole international conference specifically devoted to pancreatic islet research. It will give the opportunity to young researchers both to present and discuss their work and to be informed on the most recent findings in this multidisciplinary and rapidly evolving field of biomedical research. Moreover, it will also favour interaction between academia and pharmaceutical industry. It is, by tradition, a conference of the highest scientific level allowing extensive exchange of information and planning of collaborative work mainly, but not exclusively, between European scientists, that are indeed leaders in this field.ftp://ftp.cordis.lu/pub/improving/docs/HPCF-1999-00040-1.pdf

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Children’s personal epistemologies: capitalizing children and families knowledge in schools towards effective learning and teaching (ChiPE)' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The conceptions of knowledge and knowing that students hold have increasingly become a focus of interest for educational researchers in the last decades. Research on personal epistemology has highlighted the educational relevance of students’ beliefs about knowledge and knowing  and its important role in students’ academic motivation, cognition, and performance. Relevant theoretical frameworks have advanced the knowledge on epistemological beliefs, despite those frameworks have been grounded in research conducted with adults such as university students, and with adolescents. Less research has been found that clarifies the relationship between learning contexts and types of instruction and children’s personal epistemologies, in order to foster effective teaching and learning in more inclusive classrooms, and ultimately increase educational success.  This research proposal aims to contributing to fill such gap by examining the personal epistemology of elementary school children, teachers and families participating in dialogic-based classrooms. This approach often contributes to enhance classroom’s “epistemic climate” composed of learners’ and teachers’ personal epistemologies and epistemic knowledge, but at the same time brings closer knowledge from children’s out-of-school experience to classroom knowledge. This research project will explore children and families’ epistemological beliefs in the school context to capitalise on their funds of knowledge and promote effective learning. In the framework of the EU Strategy 2020, it is crucial to make available for more schools and communities those actions that help citizens succeed educationally, and then gain access to the labour market and full participation in society.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Strengthening road transport research cooperation between Europe and emerging international markets II', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The SIMBA II project aims to increase RTD cooperation between the EU and the ICPC of Brazil, China, India, Russia and South Africa. SIMBA II will look at how the EU and ICPC can jointly increase road safety, mobility and transport efficiency, improve road and transport network management and research appropriate pavement design while at the same time improving levels of transport-related pollution. This will enable SIMBA II to support emerging markets in their efforts to improve transportation while at the same time enhancing European industrial competitiveness via transfer of technologies. Special attention will be paid to mobility and road management, urban traffic issues and public transport in order to better assess and evaluate the development of new infrastructure and of policy-led ITS solutions through sustainable urban transport planning. ICPC could benefit in this respect from the latest experiences in the EU and move forward integrated transport network management, focusing on policy solutions to tackle congestion and environmental challenges. During a 24-month period, the SIMBA II project will set up and run a series of expert groups to further work on the priorities defined in the first SIMBA project. It will bring together European and local ICPC organisations to engage in preparatory technical work, including feasibility studies for the development and/or implementation of new ITS and infrastructure technologies in the ICPC (looking at adapting European technologies to local needs in an effort to improve local transport conditions).

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Women Songwriters of the Victorian Fin de Siècle: Exploring the Sentimental Voice'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Women Songwriters of the Victorian Fin de Siècle: Exploring the Sentimental VoiceThis project contends that investigating an unexplored musical repertoire – that of Victorian and Edwardian parlour ballads – will uncover a larger story about marginalised musical voices, and will shed light on the musical history of London as a transnational and imperial city. The period 1860 to 1930 witnessed a flourishing of women’s creativity and commercial acumen within the popular genre of the sentimental parlour ballad. Today, much of this once ubiquitous repertoire now survives as historic sheet music collections, publisher’s records and sound recordings held in archives in the US and the UK. Through in-depth research into individual case studies, I propose to explore women songwriters and their networks within a burgeoning transatlantic music industry. The project entails three objectives, which are connected through a need to revaluate sentimentality as a defining aesthetic of parlour songs written by and for women. First, I will explore the figure of the popular woman songwriter within the context of modern musical discourse, drawing connections with critical attitudes to the sentimental in literature and film. Second, I will undertake contextualised close readings of individual songs and songwriters based in London, interpreting women’s compositional and performing voices in relation to race and colonialism. Third, I will address the legacy and afterlife of particular songs in the early twentieth century, exploring how aesthetics of sentimentality and nostalgia were mediated in performance through new technologies of sound reproduction. By combining archival research with critical theoretical approaches to the politics of musical voices, the research seeks to revise our underst

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Structure and Ultrafast Dynamics in Deep Eutectic Solvents' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are binary-component mixtures which melt at a temperature that is several tens to a few hundreds of degrees lower than an ideal binary mixture of the same two compounds in the same ratio. DESs are usually environment-friendly solvents that hold great promise for replacing harmful ionic liquids and volatile organic compounds in chemical and industrial applications. Despite this significant potential, experimental investigations of the fundamental molecular-scale properties and dynamics of these solvents are strikingly lacking. This proposal (acronym STUDYES) aims to identify the underpinning molecular structures and ultrafast dynamics of DESs for the first time. Within STUDYES, I will use state-of-the-art ultrafast, non-linear spectroscopic techniques to unravel the real-time structural and dynamical behaviour of these solvents through their molecular vibrations. I will characterize the ultrafast structural dynamics at the eutectic point of DESs through both temperature- and composition-dependent nonlinear vibrational spectroscopic measurements. The stretching vibrations of the nascent functional groups will be probed in one- and two-dimensional experiments, which will allow a direct visualization of the structural heterogeneities, intermolecular interactions and inter-mode couplings in DESs. I will also investigate the effects of an external agent such as water on the structure and ultrafast dynamics of the DES and identify the critical concentration at which water disrupts the DES structural order. The results of these experiments will provide an important first step to a molecular-level understanding of the special macroscopic physicochemical properties of DESs.

user: Explain how 'The evolutionary and ecological implications of mito-nuclear epistasis' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The main hypothesis of the proposed research is that, contrary to common and long-standing belief, mitochondrial genetic variation is functional and plays a key role in evolutionary adaptation. I suggest that a novel understanding of selection on mtDNA can derive from simultaneously considering sex-specific selection and genetic interactions between mtDNA and nDNA. Because males are a genetic “dead-end” for mtDNA, mtDNA mutations that are detrimental for males but beneficial for females will spread. This will generate a male-specific genetic load (“the mother’s curse”). Further, the main energy producing pathway in eukaryotes (the OXPHOS pathway) is built collectively by products of the mitochondrial and the nuclear genome. Thus, mtDNA and nDNA are potentially entangled in an intricate web of epistatic interactions that dictates organismal metabolism. The proposed research is built upon a series of interrelated parts, and will use a very amenable insect model organism and employ a range of different research methodologies. Specific aims of the proposed research is (1) to assess the effects of mito-nuclear genotype on key life history traits such as metabolic rate and test whether these effects are sex-specific in line with the “mother’s curse” and (2) to test the hypothesis that mito-nuclear interactions promotes the maintenance of polymorphism in mitochondrial genome through negative frequency dependent selection. This research will have a range of biological implications, ranging from applied medical genetics over our use of mitochondrial genetic markers in population genetics/biology to speciation and our understanding of thermal adaptation to climate change.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Synthesis of novel stimuli responsive dielectric polymers and their use in powerful transducers' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

This ERC CoG will serve to build a strong multidisciplinary group concentrating on the synthesis of novel functional dielectric polymers that are printed into devices capable of converting one form of energy into another. Research spans all the way from materials’ synthesis and optimization, via device engineering to exploration of the manifold applications. TRANS will develop novel high dielectric permittivity elastomers and piezoelectric elastomers with an unprecedented collection of properties and use them as active components in devices for emerging technologies. The devices are not only of high technological and scientific importance, but also exhibit substantial economic and societal impact. They will reversibly change their shape in response to an electric field, generate electricity when mechanically stretched, cool while using little energy, convert thermal energy directly into electricity and, finally, store electricity in the form of batteries. The polymers developed in TRANS will combine either unprecedentedly high dielectric permittivity with a high dielectric breakdown field or piezoelectric properties with high elasticity. They have the potential to revolutionize different fields of applications such as actuators, sensors, energy harvesting, artificial muscles, soft robotics, energy storage, stretchable electronics, and solid-state refrigeration. A particularly important aspect concerns the synthesis of scalable and environmentally friendly, easy-to-apply and process printable inks, which are the active ingredients of various devices. After project termination, the applicant’s group will expand the fundamental understanding of structure-dielectric properties relationship and will be able to provide inks that are printed in prototype devices responsive to

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'High-Accuracy Indoor Tracking and Augmented Sensing using Swarms of UAVs'.

assistant: **Objectives**

In recent years, the need to enable location- and map-aware services in GPS-deprived environments has become increasingly important, especially after natural disasters events. At the same time, the possibility to form swarms of mini-robots is a very attractive solution for users’ mobiles positioning and for mapping of position-related physical quantities, not only for outdoor but also for indoor scenarios, e.g., assessing the status of buildings immediately after an earthquake. In this context, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a good choice thanks to their flexibility, reconfigurability and advantageous line-of-sight propagation conditions. Despite UAVs’ potentials for indoor positioning, scholars and professionals have mostly considered and used them only for enabling outdoor applications. In this perspective, AirSens aims at analyzing the potentialities of swarms of UAVs for high-accuracy tracking and sensing in indoor contexts, by addressing three novel objectives: (1) the assessment of the swarms’ localization performance, even in infrastructure-less scenarios, by deriving the fundamental limits and considering energy-efficient solutions; (2) the investigation of swarms’ mapping capabilities, enhanced by crowd-sensing mechanisms; (3) the design of an information-seeking control for navigation (i.e., where the swarm should navigate to provide reliable position estimates) and formation (i.e., which specific swarm geometry can maximize the positioning performance). These objectives will be pursued through an innovative combination of theoretical and experimental analyses, possible thanks to the synergy between the researcher and her supervisors, experts in the fields of advanced signal processing (USA) and radio-localization (Italy), which perfectly matches th

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Molecular-Based Approach to the Simulation of Polymer Fluid Flows in Processing Operations' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives and content Both petrochemical and polymer-processing companies have a great need for quantitative design tools. While offering a wide range of capabilities, current design tools are unable to take into account the effect of molecular architecture of the polymeric fluid on its processability and performance. As a consequence, the design of polymer processing equipment and product quality optimization demand on-line trial and error, time-consuming procedures. In this project, a novel design approach (design tool) for polymer fluid processing will be developed that will allow prediction of: - theological behaviour of polymeric fluids based on their molecular architecture - the resulting microstructure of finished products and its effect on macroscopic properties such as mechanical properties, transport properties, interfacial properties, etc. This project will incorporate state-of-the-art finite-element techniques coupled - to stochastic methods and - to traditional constitutive equations for the calculation of stresses and for the description of the polymeric fluid. The link to the molecular architecture of the polymer will be established via atomistic simulations. In order to be able to deal with problems of industrial relevance, a major effort will be put in the development of efficient numerical techniques and in the implementation on modern computer architectures (massively parallel and vector-parallel). The new design tools will be validated for state-of-the-art polyolefins and for sedimentation in viscoelastic fluids. The consortium comprises the research departments of two large petrochemical companies with a strong involvement in the polyolefin market (Dow, REPSOL), the research department of a company in oil exploration and production (Shell) and one
