user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Feedback and Tow-Way CommunicationSystems'.

assistant: **Concept**

This proposal investigates the role of feedback in communication networks, with the ultimate goal of providing architecture-level guidance in the design of robust and efficient communication systems. Many common communication situations are over inherently two-way channels, such as wireless networks, digital subscriber lines (DSL), and the Internet, even when the information transfer is only in one direction. Thus we can receive feedback from the other end of the channel, which we can use to improve the quality of communication. Even though feedback is present in many communication systems and is used in certain primitive forms, such as channel estimation and automatic repeat request (ARQ), the theory underlying its use has not been completely developed.We propose new approaches for several communication settings, such as single-user channels with memory, multiple-user channels with feedback, compound channels with feedback, and two-way channels, in which two or more users simultaneously exchange information through a shared channel. The proposed research is based on integrating new mathematical and engineering tools into the communication problems. In particular, we will integrate the idea of causality and directed information and use optimization tools from operational research to derive schemes that achieve that capacity.Overall, the proposed research aims to advance a theoretical understanding of feedback in communication and to give practical guidance for robust feedback communication systems. While positive results will provide a novel communication system design, negative results will prevent over-engineering and allow more confidence in simple and modular implementations. Since feedback and causality also constitute a pivotal concept in biology and economics, a

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Circular business models for the solar power industry' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Solar power generates nearly 4% (and still growing) of Europe’s electricity demand. In 2021, the 200 GW of capacity installed in Europe will result in saving of 219 million CO2 tons/year. By 2030, 8 mill tons of PV panels are expected.Resource efficiency is a critical success factor for the solar power sustainable growth. Performance-based, third-party ownership Product-Service System (PSS) has been widely seen as a key circular economic model to stimulate resource efficiency and reduce waste generation. CIRCUSOL aims to establish solar power as a spearhead sector to demonstrate a path driven by PSS business models towards a circular economy in Europe. Through a co-creative approach with end-users and the entire value chain, CIRCUSOL will develop two main blocks of a circular PSS model: circular product management with re-use/refurbish/remanufacture (“second-life”) paths in addition to recycling, and value-added new product-services for residential, commercial and utility end-users. Five large-scale, real-life demonstrators will be set up in these 3 market segments, in 3 European countries (FR, BE and CH) to validate market acceptance, business viability and resource efficiency benefits.CIRCUSOL will deliver tangible innovation for the solar power industry with market-validated PSS business models, 2nd-life PV/battery labelling/certification protocols and cost/application analysis, and an info-sharing ICT platform. The results will be exploited in FR, BE and CH and prepared for replication in Europe (Letters of Support of stakeholders attached). CIRCUSOL will also deliver verified circular business innovation methodologies for broader use by other industries, sustainability professionals and academia; plus evidence-based knowledge in circular economy implementation for

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Quantum Propagating Microwaves in Strongly Coupled Environments' (PROMISCE) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of PROMISCE is to provide the foundations for a novel research field: propagating quantum microwave technologies in strongly and ultrastrongly coupled environments. In particular, its potential for scalable quantum information and communication technology (Q-ICT) applications will be demonstrated. PROMISCE is born from a challenging and controversial idea, which is that microwave photons can interact strongly among each other and with their environment even in the absence of confining cavities.PROMISCE combines two major innovative and interdisciplinary components. The first one, propagating quantum microwave photonics, focuses on the generation, control, and detection of quantum microwave beams and photons using superconducting quantum circuits. The second component aims at exploring propagating quantum microwave interactions. Novel paths in engineering strong and ultrastrong controlled interactions between propagating microwave photons and their environment, and among photons themselves, will be pursued. To this end, we will employ superconducting quantum circuits and develop sophisticated quantum metamaterials. We note that both components are intimately connected: technological and conceptual achievements in one component will immediately trigger progress in the other one. Together they will provide, integrated on a chip, the equivalent of optical Q-ICT experiments in the microwave regime.PROMISCE represents a complete paradigm shift beyond the common interest in superconducting qubits for Q-ICT to the concept of encoding quantum information in propagating microwave photons and using an (ultra-)strongly coupled environment as the basic tool for their manipulation. In this context, PROMISCE also introduces a new understanding of the term environment". Instead

user: Explain how 'Exploring LIfestyle Transitions: a molecular and physical anthropology approach of ancient Yakut people' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Adaptation, whereby organisms become fitted to their environment, is a key evolutionary process driving biodiversity. Our understanding of how natural selection impacts genetic diversity has greatly advanced with recent developments in high-throughput DNA sequencing and genome-wide selection scans. However, microbiomes and epigenomes are other systems selection can act upon as they influence our health and phenotype, and thus our fitness. Although microbiomes, epigenomes and genomes can now be reconstructed, no study has evaluated their relative importance in populations exposed to new selective pressures. This is what ELITE aims at achieving by reconstructing the history of the biological changes undergone by the Yakut people of Far Eastern Siberia after their contact with Russians in the 17th century, and the resulting profound lifestyle transition, diet shifts and massive epidemiological outbreaks. By applying a multidisciplinary approach combining the latest advances in physical anthropology, ancient genomics, metagenomics and epigenomics to a unique collection of cultural and biological material from ancient Yakuts, ELITE proposes an innovative experimental approach in evolutionary biology, which could eventually reveal a possible maladaptation to our modern lifestyle, making us more susceptible to diseases. The success of ELITE will be based on the excellent synergy between the experienced researcher and the host institution, as the applicant will benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and expertise to gain advanced training in physical anthropology methods, while applying her genomic skills to a sample set available at no other research institution in the world. By acquiring these new skills in an international context, the experienced researcher will become a

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The utilisation of mechanical pulp rejects as a Co-Raw material in board manufacture' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

In a number of industries where boards are used, the boards used are cellulose based and consist of fibres of particles pressed together with or without a binder to form a continuous matrix in sheet form. The properties of the board vary depending on the constituents and the processes used range from rigid to flexible materials of differing strength and durability. Cellulose based boards are the common choice on the basis of price, appearance and properties. There is scope to further improve the quality of these boards for current applications and also extend their range of use eg moulded items for the automotive and food applications. There is an incentive in finding a co-raw material and especially one from waste material, which on separation into its components is mostly fibre and minerals eg clay and chalk. The subsequent use in products allied to paper and board is a new concept which will require development of new techniques and equipment. As the price of the raw material (wood pulp) for cellulose board has increased dramatically, the success of the project will benefit the environment and help the commercial status of many European mills by turning a waste material which has been disposed of as land fill etc... over the past 20 years, into a cheap and useful raw material. The proposed project therefore aims to develop a process that can utilise both mechanical pulp rejects and cellulose fibres as co-raw materials, design and build equipment for cleaning the pulp and then fibre preparation. Develop a mixed fibre board of quality and greater utility than existing boards.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Novel insights into cardiac regeneration through studies in the zebrafish' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiomyocyte death and accumulation of myofibroblasts (MFs) at the site of injury, which produce large amounts of extracellular matrix (ECM), generating a scar. Initially, cardiac fibrosis protects from ventricular wall rupture, but subsequent myocardial remodelling causes heart failure, representing a leading cause of death in Europe. While MFs play a central role in cardiac fibrosis, there is confusion on their origin, a lack of specific markers and the existence of a unique MF type is debatable. Different MF might reveal distinct characteristics regarding ECM production, contractility, and autophagy, making them more or less pernicious. While in humans cardiac fibrosis is irreversible, other vertebrates have a remarkable capacity to regenerate damaged tissue. We recently established a zebrafish MI model and found that cardiac fibrosis is reversible and occurs as an intermediate step during regeneration. Here, the endogenous mechanisms of MFs and ECM regression will be explored. In addition, MF origin, types and fate will be characterized and manipulated to improve regeneration. As in mammals, cardiac injury elicits an inflammatory response in the zebrafish. The regenerative capacity of a species has been directly linked to features of its immune system, but surprisingly little is known on zebrafish leukocyte subtypes. We will study the role of macrophages and particularly analyse a subtype, which accumulates in the outer mesothelial layer of the heart, the epicardium. Epicardial derived cells play a key role as a trophic factor and progenitor cell source, and a first step towards regeneration includes the reestablishment of the epicardial layer. The zebrafish will offer a screening platform for small molecules triggering its activ

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Chemical speciation of A Revolution In Art History' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

A revolution in art happened in the 15th century: The transition from tempera to oil painting in Italy marked the beginning of the great period of Renaissance art and the creation of some of the most revered masterpieces of all time. Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Leonardo da Vinci, are examples of artists who were shifting away from the use of predominantly egg-based tempera to the use of oil. But how did this transition occur? The simplistic assumption that pigments were solely either mixed with egg or oil-based binding media has been rejected. Artists continued to use egg in parallel or in combination with oil, and prepared paints and binding media of complex chemistry, which is still not understood today. The overarching goal of ARIAH (A Revolution In Art History) is to discover the atomic- and molecular-level chemical composition of mixed media paint layers (oil-protein mixtures) in original Renaissance artefacts and map the distribution of their constituents at the nanoscale, to understand the revolution of painting techniques in Renaissance Italy. The project will tackle this challenge by introducing, for the first time, high-resolution X-ray Raman Scattering (XRS), 2D and 3D XRS chemical speciation imaging, and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy in combination with mass spectrometry  of painting samples. We will establish an analytical protocol based on the techniques, which will be released to the scientific community to serve as a benchmark for the molecular and atomic-level understanding of artworks. Atomic and molecular data will contribute to the most ambitious objective of understanding the materiality and the technology of the transition from egg to oil in Renaissance Italy. Results of this interdisciplinary research will be widely dissemina

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Towards an understanding of social media: The effects on health, well-being, and genetic susceptibilities' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

In 2022, 63% of the world population actively used social media, spending a daily average of 2 hours and 27 minutes on these platforms. Despite its widespread adoption, our understanding of social media's impact on health and well-being remains limited, mostly due to lack of data availability on social media use. SOCIAL leverages several unique data sets and takes a comprehensive approach to investigate the effects and susceptibilities associated with social media use. This knowledge is fundamental to design smart and effective regulations that promote promote individual well-being in an era of rapid digital evolution. This proposal introduces a novel perspective to social media research. It aims to study the 2021 Facebook papers leak, the 2022 TikTok ban on government devices, Instagram's transition to an algorithmic feed in 2016, and the 2024 EU Digital Services Act, examining their impact on social media users. Additionally, it investigates the genetic factors influencing social media usage patterns, utilizing molecular genetic data and a within-family design to explore whether genetic susceptibilities to mental disorders contribute to social media use patterns. This action, unfolding at Nova SBE in Portugal under Prof. Pedro Pita Barros' guidance and Ctia Batista collaboration, addresses research questions, offers training and career development, and greatly enhances skills and fosters my career prospects. By joining Nova SBE, I'll broaden my network, fortify capabilities, and leverage my expertise in health economics, econometrics, and social-science genetics to expand their research capacity.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'NANOCARRIERS FOR THE DELIVERY OF ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS TO FIGHT RESISTANCE MECHANISMS' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The worldwide spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms can be viewed as an ecological consequence of the systematic use of antimicrobial agents. Resistant bacteria prevail in healthcare environments where antibiotic selective pressure is intensive. Novel therapeutic approaches are urgently required to deliver the well-documented existing drugs in an optimized fashion to: i) protect them toward degradation; ii) increase their bioavailability; iii) reduce toxic side effects; iv) increase patient compliance and iv) reduce treatment duration and related costs. In this sense, nanocarriers based on cyclodextrins (CDs) are particularly appealing for the delivery of antibiotics. This approach is of main interest for tuberculosis (TB), infections related to Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphyloccocus aureus and for species most frequently implicated in hospital infections such as enteric gram-negative rods. We will design and characterize CD-based nanocarriers, test their ability to encapsulate drugs, study their efficacy in vitro on bacteria and infected cells. The best formulation will be tested in vivo and scaled up. The objectives of the CycloN Hit project are to take full advantage of nanotechnology and of the high level interdisciplinary expertise of the partners to efficiently encapsulate and protect antibiotics in nanocarriers to combat resistant bacteria, and study the mechanisms in biological systems using state-of-the art techniques. This will be accomplished through a strong and demanding training program for 11 Early Stage and 5 young Experienced Researchers which will gather interdisciplinary expertise of 11 Full partners and 6 Associated partners, of which 7 are SMEs. Using the most recent advances in the nanomedicine field, the final goal of the CycloN Hit projec

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Tracing tropical timber' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

An estimated 50% of the tropical timber that enters the European market is illegally harvested. To implement new European legislation intended to eliminate this illegal trade, independent tools will be needed to verify the legal status of timber. We therefore propose to develop a fast, accurate and cost-effective commercial forensic tool, 'Timtrace', for tracing the claimed origin of tropical timber. Timtrace uses (1) ring-width measurements that can be matched with reference measurements or climate data, (2) stable isotopes in the wood that can be matched with regional reference data, and (3) DNA analyses that allow distinguishing timber obtained from different areas. The application of multiple methods greatly expands the number of tropical timbers whose origin can be traced. Our forensic approach is competitive, as unlike current commercial alternatives, it does not require access to the timber in the country of harvest. Potential customers of Timtrace include the customs and inspection authorities, the timber-processing industry and organisations that certify sustainable forest management. Several of these stakeholders have already shown interest in a commercially available and cost-effective forensic tool for timber tracing. Timtrace builds on the results and expertise obtained during the ERC-funded TROFOCLIM project in which we assembled databases with many thousands measurements of tree-rings and stable isotopes for 20 tropical timber varieties from three continents. Results of the TROFOCLIM project will be directly applied for tracing tropical timbers and will also serve as reference data. We will use the ERC Proof of Concept Grant to (1) develop a fast, accurate and cost-effective tool for forensic tracing of tropical timber and (2) evaluate its commercial feas
