user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'From maternal hormones to malaria susceptibility and accelerated ageing: new insights from wild birds.' (MATHORMAL) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

For centuries, malaria has been a major global health concern, and despite intensive research efforts, malaria infection remains a key issue for many countries. Malaria parasites are also responsible for wildlife population declines and even extinction of many bird species. Despite being exposed to the same risk, there is a clear inter-individual variation in the susceptibility to malaria infection. Through MATHORMAL, I propose that such inter-individual variability in malaria susceptibility might be linked to both the prenatal programming of physiology by maternal hormonal effects and by initial differences in cellular ageing (i.e. assessed through telomere length). Higher exposure to certain maternal hormones can depress immunity, accelerate cellular ageing, and deregulate the protective microbiome of the uropygial gland linked to antimalarial defensive mechanisms. Thus, I hypothesize that increased prenatal exposure to certain maternal hormones could make the offspring more susceptible to malarial infections, potentially through its effects on telomeres and uropygial microbiome. To test this, I will first use artificially increased yolk hormone experiments (glucocorticoid, testosterone, and thyroid hormones) in a wild bird population and assess malaria infection intensity, immunity, telomere dynamics, and uropygial microbiome. Then, I will experimentally induce early-life telomere lengthening with TA-65 to assess the potential role that short telomeres play in malaria susceptibility. This project will advance our understanding of the inter-individual variation in malaria susceptibility, which will help to improve malaria prevention strategies. MATHORMAL will use an integrative approach at the crossroad of evolutionary ecology, ecophysiology, and parasitology and larg

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Human Motion Analysis from Image Sequences'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Recent research has uncovered real potential for humans to interact with computers in natural ways by using their body motion, gestures and facial expressions. This has resulted in a huge surge of research within the Computer Vision community to develop algorithms able to understand, model and interpret human motion using visual information. Commercial motion capture solutions exist that can reconstruct the full motion of a human body or the deformations of a face. However these systems are severely restricted by the need to use markers on the subject and multiple calibrated cameras besides being costly and technically complex. Imagine instead the possibility of pointing a camera at a person for a few seconds and obtaining a fully parameterised detailed 3D model in a completely automated way. This 3D model could subsequently be used for animation tasks, to assist physiotherapists in the rehabilitation of patients with injuries or ultimately to guide a robot in a surgical operation. The aim of this project is to bring this scenario closer to reality by conducting the ground-breaking research needed to crack some of the challenging open problems in visual human motion analysis. So far visual human motion tracking systems have typically modelled the human body as a 3D skeleton ignoring the fact that each of its articulated parts is not strictly rigid but can also deform, since they are surrounded by soft tissue, muscles and clothes. Think of a torso performing small twists, a bicep flexing or a face performing different facial expressions. In this grant I are interested in recovering the full detailed 3D shape of the human body, including a model for the supporting 3D skeleton that captures its underlying articulated structure and a collection of deformable models to descr

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Tap - a gene involved in neuronal differentiation' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

Research objectives and content The aim of my project is to understand the role of the tap gene in the control of neuronal connectivity in Drosophila. tap encodes a transcriptional factor with a bHLH motif which is expressed at a late stage in one of the neurons that innervate each gustatory organ. As these organs are functionally different, I believe that tap is responsible for the neuronal properties of the neuron in which it is expressed. To determine the developmental function of tap, I plan to identify loss- and gain-of-function tapmutants, and to analyse their phenotypes. This will be done by using genetic (Gal4-UAS system, FRT-FLP system, transgenic lines) as well as molecular techniques (DNA constructs) combined with DiI labelling of neurons and behavioural tests. I think that a better understanding of how tap acts will help us to understand how neuronal specificity is genetically controlled. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) My objective is to reach a PhD level for which I have voluntarily stopped my career as a scientific journalist. I have especially chosen the team of Dr. Alain Ghysen in Montpellier, for its particularly interesting scientific l and teaching qualities, which I think will greatly improve my capabilities in dealing with difficult scientific questions.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Converging Criteria for Consciousness: Using neuroimaging methods to characterize subliminal and conscious processing'.

assistant: **Objectives**

We aim to find the limits of subliminal information processing and clarify the function and brain architecture underlying conscious processing in adults, infants, patients and non-human primates. (1) We will design experimental tests applicable to non-verbal organisms that can reveal behavioral and cerebral signatures of conscious processing. Those tests, respectively called rule extraction and central collision , each comprise an automatic sensory component and a central component thought to require conscious access. (2) Using these tests, we will identify brain signatures of non-conscious and conscious processing using neuroimaging techniques (ERPs, MEG, fMRI, intracranial recordings) in normal human adults. To validate our approach, we will manipulate stimulus perceptibility (masking), attention (distraction by another task) and vigilance (sleep and anesthesia). (3) We will then extend the approach to brain-damaged adults with coma, persistent vegetative state or minimal consciousness, in order to detect residual processing and to obtain predictors of recovery. We will design computer systems to extract signatures of conscious processing in real time. (4) We will also examine when these signatures first appear in human infancy. (5) Finally, we will measure fMRI activation in monkeys during the same tests, thus allowing for a direct comparison of monkey and human signatures of conscious processing. We will study the effects of anesthesia on the loss of these signatures, and the potential beneficial impact of thalamic stimulation on their restoration. This research will clarify the brain mechanisms of conscious processing, illuminate their ontogeny and phylogeny, and pave the way to clinical intervention studies in patients with impaired consciousness.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Bio-clays from several water media' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project aims at assessing the influence of microbial activity and water chemistry on the formation of clay. Clays are the natural product of the chemical weathering of silicate rocks at the lithosphere-hydrosphere-atmosphere contact. They interact greatly with water, air (they are transported long distances by the wind) and living organisms, especially those taking their nutrients directly from the soil. As a result, they are very important in all natural processes and human activities.Our knowledge of the inorganic processes producing clays is still incomplete. In addition, biological processes contribute significantly to the production of clays. It is necessary to study the effect of biological activity on the formation of clays in order to understand clay processes fully and, more generally, the geochemical cycles at the Earth’s surface.The project will study the combined influence of water chemistry and microbial activity on the rate of clay formation and the type of clay produced. Volcanic glass will be reacted with 4 types of natural water: spring water, freshwater, seawater and hypersaline water. The experiments will be carried out with and without microbial activity (the microbial activity will be that originally present in the natural water). During the experiments, the microbial activity (molecular methods) and the water chemistry will be monitored. After the experiments, the reaction products will be investigated using SEM, TEM, micro-infrared and micro-X-ray diffraction. The study will provide the following information: 1) relative and combined influence of water chemistry and microbiological activity on clay formation rate and clay chemistry; 2) relative influence of water and rock chemistry in controlling the composition of the clay formed; 3) interac

user: Explain how 'Model Catalysts for understanding Oxygen Evolution Reaction activity' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Hydrogen is considered essential to reach the European Green Deal and Europe´s clean energy transition. Nowadays, most hydrogen is produced by reforming of fossil fuels. Electrochemical water electrolysis using renewable sources as energy input represents a cleaner way than reforming of fuels to create hydrogen. However, water electrolysis will only be feasible if stable, affordable and effective catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are discovered. The research objective of this project is to explore the catalytic activity in OER of Earth abundant transition metal oxides to gain fundamental understanding on the nature of the active sites. To this effect, ordered thin films will be grown, aiming to discover the most active formulations and facets of the crystal structure. This project will be performed at the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG), in the department of Interface Science lead by Prof. Roldán Cuenya. MPG was ranked as the third top institution according to the Nature Index 2019. I will work with Dr. Kuhlenbeck, an expert in the surface science field. Merging of his experience in growing thin films with the my background in electrochemical processes is key for the success of the project. During the two years of the project, I will be involved in the dissemination of the results to Academia and the general public through participation in conferences, publication of articles and outreach activities. An individual Career Development Plan, outlined and reviewed by Dr. Kuhlenbeck and Prof. Roldán Cuenya, will be used to monitor the research maturity obtained during the project.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Scalability management for Cloud Computing' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Current cloud platforms provide limited support for customers in designing scalable and cost efficient applications. In particular, they do not support analysing how an application will scale with a growing number of users and how this will affect operation costs.CloudScale will provide an engineering approach for building scalable cloud applications and services. CloudScale will support Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers (a) to design their software for scalability and (b) to swiftly identify and gradually solve scalability problems in existing applications. CloudScale will enable the modelling of design alternatives and the analysis of their effect on scalability and cost. Best practices for scalability will further guide the design process. Additionally, CloudScale will provide tools and methods that detect  scalability problems by analysing code. Based on the detected problems, CloudScale will offer guidance on the resolution of scalability problems. It answers the ICT Work Programme's call for achieving massive scalability for software-based services.The planned validation of project results involves two complementary use cases in the SaaS and the PaaS domain.CloudScale will leverage European application expertise into the domain of competitive cloud application offerings, both at the SaaS and PaaS level. The engineering approach for scalable applications and services will enable small and medium enterprises as well as large players to fully benefit from the cloud paradigm by building scalable and cost-efficient applications and services based on state-of-the-art cloud technology. Furthermore, the engineering approach reduces risks as well as costs for companies newly entering the cloud market.A tight, focused consortium with st

user: Draft an impact statement for 'EUropean RobotIcs for Space Ecosystems', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The maturation of space robotics has paved the way for new capabilities for in-space servicing, assembly and manufacturing (ISAM). These capabilities offer significant business opportunities and promise to increase the efficiency and resilience of the orbital infrastructure. It will open a completely new market with the potential to shape a new ecosystem in space. In order to seize this opportunity and prevent US companies from monopolizing the market, a European ISAM capacity must be built up.The project has two distinct goals: First, to undertake a market analysis of in-space services, in-space assembly and manufacturing, and related domains, and develop two reference scenarios that will be further analysed and used to define an end-to-end demonstration scenario. Second, to use the demonstration scenario to mature the building blocks and relevant robotic elements that have been started to be developed in Europe during the last years and to establish an open-source process for the continuing maturation of these building blocks. The establishment of a European ISMA capacity and defining the future space ecosystem will have a significant impact on Europe. By developing and implementing these new capabilities, Europe can maintain its competitiveness on the global stage, create new jobs, and drive economic growth through increased investment in the space industry. Furthermore, the development of a sustainable space ecosystem will have a positive impact on the environment, reducing the amount of waste and pollution in space and contributing to a more sustainable and cleaner space environment. Overall, the project's impact on Europe is multifaceted and far-reaching, including economic growth, job creation, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability. By creati

user: Describe how 'Telemonitoring of home dialysis utilizing a smart biomimetic arteriovenous graft' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Clinical need: 10% of the population worldwide is affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD) and millions die each year because they do not have access to treatment. Giving global shortage of kidney donors, the vast majority of patients rely on hemodialysis (HD). Over 2.6M people worldwide currently receive HD to stay alive, yet this number may only represent 10% of people needing treatment.Solution: Up to 70% of current arteriovenous grafts (AVG) fail in the first year after implantation. This is primarily due to thrombosis, luminal scar formation, and infection. In our ground-breaking new AVG, biomimicking zwitterions prevent thrombosis, drug delivery prevents scar formation and infection, and an ECM coating ensures fast tissue integration allowing early HD.Smart: TELEGRAFT comprises two diagnostic tools to monitor and prevent device complication. Pressure transmitters are used to monitor blood flow and optical sensors to detect inflammation and infections. The data is processed by AI machine learning models and displayed in an easy to understand dashboard for healthcare professionals. The data allows online telemonitoring and consultations by remote healthcare professionals. This makes home dialysis safe for patients, even in areas with poor infrastructure, where patients live far from HD clinics.Surgical implantation: The TELEGRAFT system will be demonstrated in an operational environment through a 2-stage randomized clinical trial enrolling 60 patients at 5 hospitals across Europe and through a home HD field study.Resource constrained setting: (1) In low and middle income countries, TELEGRAFT will substitute complicated and expensive kidney transplantation and allow simpler and cheap implantation of AVG for HD. (2) TELEGRAFT is the only solution with diagnostic tools
