assistant: **Abstract**

Social insects are among the great achievements of organic evolution and their societies represent a major evolutionary transition in life’s move towards complexity. Consequently, insect societies have historically held a considerable interest for both biologists and lay people. One particularly interesting and rapidly developing field for evolutionary biologists is the interaction between social insects and their parasites,  because the unique features of social systems may shape parasite exploitation strategies. My proposal will use Cordyceps, a parasitic fungus of ants, as a tool to examine host-parasite relationships within complex societies. This fungus dramatically manipulates ant behaviour before killing them. Building upon my unique understanding of the ecology of ant manipulating Cordyceps I will expand to examine the phylogeny and biogeography of Cordyceps on a global level, with a special focus on manipulative traits (Pierce lab at Harvard). My objectives are to resolve relationships within the ant infecting Cordyceps, test the hypotheses that this group has an Asian centre of origin and test if it is ecologically specialised on certain hosts. I will also investigate behavioural manipulation in a phylogenetic context. The knowledge gained during the outgoing phase will inform a research program during the return host phase (Talbot Lab, University of Exeter), where I will examine the molecular biology of behavioural manipulation of ants by Cordyceps. As such, I propose a project that, in addition to maximizing my professional training, will allow me to combine ant-parasite evolutionary ecology with molecular fungal biology to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology.  This fellowship would facilitate further training and promote my independence up

user: Describe how 'Technical ceramics machining, using traditional machines to remove chips with the help of laser technology' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The precise machining, or grinding, of hard materials especially ceramics for technical applications is very expensive since, to date, it can only be accomplished usang precision grinding machines. The project consists of using traditional machines and diamond-or special CBN-equipped tools (lathes, milling cutters) to machine these materials by removing chips. That will take place after the material has been rendered workable by modification of its mechanical specifications : the proposed principle is to work the material above its limit of elasticity, this state being provided locally by a laser beam. This technology would signal a revolution in the field of grinding and machining of such materials. Manufacturing costs per piece could be significantly lowered while overall flexibility is increased. Lubrication coolants would no longer be needed. Our company has a department exclusively devoted to grinding this type of material, and we are quite familiar with the avenues of distribution open to these products. Those channels would widen, if the process is proved to be applicable on Alumnnium Oxides as well as on Zirconias and Silicon Nitrides, for both turned and prismatic pieces (lathe and milling cutter produced).

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Sustainable preservation of underwater archaeological sites: A novel approach to cultural heritage management' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Cultural heritage is the legacy of tangible, intangible and natural heritage assets of a society that is inherited from past generations. Preserving the remains of the past for the benefit of future generations is common in international heritage policy. Current management practice advocates preserving underwater cultural heritage (UCH) where it lies on the seabed, in situ. However, this practice is questioned due to a lack of understanding of the entangled threats posed by multiple natural and anthropogenic drivers. In a rapidly changing ocean environment and increasing human exploitation of the marine environment, it is necessary to develop new concepts for assessing and preserving this resource. With over 3,000,000 shipwrecks and thousands of submerged prehistoric sites lying on the floors of the worlds oceans, ENDURE aims to disentangle both natural and anthropogenic decay processes, determine their cumulative and interactive effects on UCH and proposes a novel conceptual framework to preserve this heritage based on site entropy. This will be achieved by: 1) Detect, visualise and interpret the products of natural and anthropogenic decay of shipwrecks and submerged prehistoric sites using marine remote sensing techniques integrated with natural and anthropogenic variables in a GIS platform; 2) Determine key natural processes and rates of decay of archaeological materials in situ and in the laboratory; 3) Remotely identify and rank simultaneous decay processes, including increasing threats to hidden and largely inaccessible heritage sites using ecosystem modelling, and 4) Propose novel intervention methods to mitigate threats to UCH and where not possible, strategies for curated decay. Ultimately, ENDUREs holistic structured framework can be synergistically integrated

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Development of a lightweight shock absorbant component made of a metallic hollow spheres structure for the transport industry' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Today, in the transport industry, the challenge is to be competitive on all the aspects of the product: cost, reliability, energy saving, safety and environment. As far as the materials are concerned, the main difficulty is to come up with a lightweight shock absorbant product which will optimise both the passengers safety and the energy saving. The metallic hollow spheres hexagonal stacking structure will highly contribute to reach these objectives. Research is necessary to develop the best structure configuration as a function of the different parameters: the size and wall thickness of the spheres, the modules' coating metal types and the structure binding types. The result research will be validated on laboratory samples first, then on demonstration items from the aircraft and car industries.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Real-time monitoring of load induced remodeling in tissue-engineered bone' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The maintenance of the skeleton is tightly coupled with balanced bone formation and resorption processes that are mediated by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, respectively. Loss of this balance results in skeletal pathologies representing some of the most significant public health threats faced by the growing and ageing population. Tissue engineering investigates various health aspects such as drug development, fundamental research and regenerative medicine. State-of-the-art approaches are lacking to mimic one essential functional property of bone: to adapt its 3D morphology according to imposed mechanical loads. As most drugs for skeletal diseases act on this anabolic-catabolic balance, an engineered system serving as a human in vitro model for drug discovery/testing needs to be able to mimic this process. This proposal aims at combining real-time monitoring of mineralized extracellular matrix with bone tissue engineering culture standards in advanced bioreactors and will design a reliable 3D in vitro model system to mimic load induced remodeling of tissue-engineered human bone. The following particulars will be systematically addressed: i) Establishment of a co-culture of human bone-forming cells and human bone resorbing cells capable of mimicking bone remodeling; ii) Real-time monitoring platform in 3D in order to take the temporo-spatial development of the tissue into account and to allow specific adapted and controlled interventions depending on the actual environmental situation; iii) Quantitative simulation of morphological bone adaptation induced by mechanical load. The proposed research activity will have important implications in fields ranging from pharmacology and biotechnology to biomechanics and medicine. It will result in a ground-breaking platform that could

user: Explain how 'Gut-brain-axis: Targets for improvement of cognition in the elderly' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

In Europe, the population is aging. The age-associated decline in cognitive functions represents a serious social and medicalproblem. Recent studies show that changes in lifestyle such as physical activity and nutritional interventions – even late inlife –are beneficial for cognition. The microbiome in the gut is a central effector in the maintenance of brain plasticity andtherefore represents a promising target as well as sensor for interventions that aim to improve cognitive ability in the elderly.Detailed and concise scientific investigations of gut-brain interactions, in particular in the elderly, are limited. Such studiesrequire a multidisciplinary approach and a combination of experts from various fields. The aim of our network is to train anew generation of young scientists within a multidisciplinary consortium. The ESRs will engage in individual and welldefined, jointly supervised research projects, securing excellent career perspectives and employability. By enabling ESRs todesign and conduct studies in this economically and socially important field, SmartAge will elucidate the role of themicrobiome-gut-brain axis in aging and its impact on cognition. SmartAge will apply a translational approach combininganimal and human studies, nutritional and life style interventions, cognitive tests, brain imaging, cutting edge OMICS andsystems biology as well as fecal transfer as proof of principle to identify key regulators of gut-brain communication with theaim to develop microbiome-based therapies. An expert team of scientists from both academia and industry such as clinicians, psychologists, nutritionists, biotechnologists and bioinformaticians will closely collaborate to strengthenmicrobiome research in aging which will have a direct impact on cognitive health in Euro

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'CliCBrain: Climate, Cities and Brain health; Addressing the impact of climate and exposome on brain health'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Climate change poses an existential crisis for the future of civilisation and is already significantly affecting the brain health of populations worldwide. These impacts include the direct effects of climate change (extreme heat or cold, flooding, pollution) and downstream exposome effects such as increased migration, food insecurity, and the exacerbation of threats to the brain from structural and systemic issues (unplanned urbanisation and systemic inequality). These factors can have immediate consequences for health and well-being while also increasing the risk of dementia later in life. However, significant gaps remain in understanding how these factors intersect and impact brain health across different contexts, the transdisciplinary methodological frameworks needed to assess them, and how to develop new approaches to protect brain health through design, practice, and policy.. CliCBrain will address these gaps through a strategic programme involving 76 staff/researcher exchanges, 6 networking and training events, and intentional collaboration across 23 global, intersectoral, and interdisciplinary partners. We focus on 3 main objectives: (i) to understand how climate change impacts brain health by developing an extended exposome framework (ii) using these insights to identify, design, and drive new approaches to protect brain health at the individual and community levels and (iii) to develop recommendations to inform and drive change at community, service and policy level. This innovative transdisciplinary initiative will yield high scientific returns, new methodologies and practices, and actionable recommendations for policymakers. CliCBrain will engage widely with public and sectoral stakeholders in co-creation and dissemination activities. This project will creat

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Bacterial chromosome partitioning: the role of streptomyces para and parb proteins'.

assistant: **Objectives**

In contrast to previous views, recent studies have shown that bacterial chromosome partition is active process. All studies done so far have focused on unicellular bacteria with circular chromosome. However, they revealed that the functional significance of partition proteins differs for different bacterial species. This proposal focuses on partitioning of the Streptomyces linear chromosome during the complex life cycle of this mycelial organism. Recently identified Streptomyces chromosome partition genes, parA and parB and their products, ParA and ParB, will be further characterized, leading to an analysis of the role of these proteins during partition complex formation and regulation of their expression during Streptomyces growth and development. Putative mechanism of coupling chromosome replication to partition involving the replication initiator protein (DnaA) will be explored. The following aims of the research project are planned:(i) analysis of interactions of ParA/ParB,(ii) the sub cellular localization of ParA and ParB as well as DnaA, particularly in mycelia compartment undergoing multiple cell division, and(iii) study of developmental regulation of transcription from parAB promoter. The proposed study should provide insight not only into Streptomyces linear chromosome partitioning but also into its correlation with DNA replication and colony sporulation.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Visualization tools for public participation in managing landscape change' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The management of land is increasingly decided at a local level, with trends across Europe of greater public participation in landscape planning processes and empowerment of local administrations to determine resource exploitation and development. Yet, understanding of the outcomes and consequences of landscape planning decisions is generally poor among the public and their elected representatives. This project analyses public preferences and land manager aims for present landscapes and scenarios of future land use to produce a set of new visualization tools that enable public participation in landscape management. It uses relationships between visual qualities and other landscape functions such as biodiversity, cultural heritage, amenity and sustainable production to support a sound stewardship of the rural and peril-urban landscape, and an increased understanding of change.

user: Describe how 'Wind on the grid: an integrated approach' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The European Union has set a target of 12% market share of renewable energy in 2010 total primary energy consumption. In addressing this objective, wind farm appears to be an efficient technology. Large-scale wind energy is jeopardizing the security of electricity supply due to: The volatility of this generation and the sensitivity that this technology exhibits to voltage dips among others.The solutions to these problems require an integrated approach: Technical and regulatory solutions and standardisation guidelines. Wind farms clusters will lead to the establishment of a new type of control centre, the Wind Farm Cluster Management System (WCMS), which aggregates the operational data and creates the desired schedules, facilitates energy and power control, as well as the reactive power provision, enabling wind farms to perform closer to conventional power plants. The WCMS concept will address the problems relating to wind volatility.
