user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Disentangling the effects of CO2 fertilization, nutrient limitation and water availability on forest ecosystem processes: Estimating their long-term consequences on SW European forests' (DENDRONUTRIENT).

assistant: **Innovation**

European forestry is fast evolving as forests could experience in the near future important changes in climate and also in management, which is moving from timber production to values such as bioenergy, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and others. These factors could change the idoneity of traditional forestry in Scots pine forests (which cover important areas in Europe). The project´s objectives are: 1) To characterize past and estimate future effects of forest management and climate change on carbon and nutrient budgets in Pinus sylvestris stands in SW Europe, to support sustainable forestry that maximizes nutrient and carbon use efficiency and therefore tree growth; 2) To develop, evaluate and apply reliable ecologically-based mathematical models that can be applied in forest management, to study interactions among elevated atmospheric CO2, tree growth and limiting nutrients and moisture. To achieve these objectives the project will be implemented in three stages: 1) Field and archival samples form experimental plots in Scot pine stands in the Pyrenees will be used to analyze connections between soil, leaf and stem nutrient status in the last 16 years. The magnitude of ecosystem biomass and nutrient pools will be estimated to calculate the historical change of nutrient use efficiency by the pines. Historical leaf NUE will be estimated through leaf area scanning combined with chemical analysis. Stem water and nutrient status will be estimated by wood scanning combined with techniques discriminating isotopes of carbon and nitrogen. 2) The ecosystem model FORECAST-Climate will be calibrated, validated, and used as a virtual lab to test the relative importance of nutrient, water, and CO2 availability on tree growth. 3) A battery of climate change (temperature, precipit

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Morphological evolution in island birds: underlying molecular and ecological mechanisms', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Understanding body size variation across and within species has been a main quest in evolutionary biology, but many of the mechanisms underlying body size evolution remain elusive. This is largely because of the complex interplay of different factors such as climate, diet and interactions with competitors and predators. Island are simplified ecosystems with a reduced number of habitats, species diversity and number of predators, and generally milder climate, making them ideal natural laboratories for dissecting the intricate mechanisms underlying body size evolution. ISLADAPT aims to unravel mechanisms of morphological evolution and species diversification in birds, using both macro and microecological-evolutionary approaches based on state-of-the-art methodologies such as metabarcoding and Bayesian analysis. First, this project will use data from museums and literature for endemic island species and their closest relatives from mainland worldwide (WP1) to unravel the underlying mechanisms, such as changes in the ecological niche, geographical features and phylogeny, that explain the systematic morphological changes on islands (WP2). Second, ISLADAPT will use field-based data to test the hypothesis that morphological changes on islands are linked to changes in the feeding niche breadth. To do this, faeces and biometric data will be analysed from 20 bird species from Gulf Guinean Island and the nearby mainland, and diet composition will be identified with metabarcoding techniques (WP3). Third, ISLADPT will examine the relationship between bird morphological evolution and lineage diversification on islands by using biometric data from museums and phylogenetic information for three archipelagos: New Caledonia, the Gulf of Guinea and Salomon Islands (WP4).

State-of-the-art technology is mostly high OPEX dedicated ships with a lot of labor needed to survey for hours.Hydromea has developed the miniature robotic Vertex submersible that can operate in swarms & measure the quality of large bodies of water much faster & more cost efficiently than the existing alternatives.Using swarms of miniature underwater robots. Hydromea provides a high-resolution underwater sensing service. Using the Vertex AUV, a small underwater robot, specifically designed in-house to be deployed in large swarms by 1-2 operators, Hydromea can provide consistent, high-density, 3D maps of many physical & chemical water parameters. Vertex swarms can collect 10-100x more information about environmental qualities in a single pass than is possible to collect with the current methods.With this technology we will commercialize a service where we will detect & map oil spills or discharged wastewater plumes, assess the environmental impact of construction projects & create detailed high-resolution maps charting the health of marine ecosystems. We will improve the state-of-the-art in coastal oceanology & limnology by drastically cutting the measurement costs with swarms of Vertex underwater drones.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Instant SLAM: Ultimate Performance in Visual Localisation and Mapping'.

assistant: **Concept**

In recent breakthrough work at the boundary of robotics and computer vision, I demonstrated that the core `Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping' (SLAM) approach of probabilistic map-building for mobile robots can be applied to real-time 3D motion estimation from the image stream from a single agile camera. Now I propose to take this line of research to its logical conclusion by investigating a paradigm of `Instant SLAM'. Can monocular visual SLAM be pushed far enough to estimate in real-time the motion of cameras potentially moving and accelerating very rapidly, turned on at arbitrary times and pointed at arbitrary scenes? Is is possible to develop a real-time vision algorithm, running on the standard processors of today or the near future, which can accurately track the motion of a camera attached to flying or bouncing robot, carried by a running person or even just thrown across a room? The ability to track camera motion with so few restrictions on dynamics and prior knowledge would turn simple webcam-type or embedded camera modules into truly flexible, low cost, go-anywhere position sensors with any number of applications in robotics, wearable computing and beyond. Achieving this goal requires both theoretical and practical research on extracting with ultimate efficiency the motion information available in an image sequence, with emphasis on high frame-rate capture, information-theoretic analysis, optimised probabilistic filtering and the relaxation of prior assumptions.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Integrating Ecosystem Heterogeneity to Enhance ESM Performance' (2014-2020) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Earth system models (ESM) are widely used to predict future climate and inform policy (e.g. IPCC). Recent research suggests that ESM do a poor job predicting future climate because they exclude microbial biogeochemical cycling and soil heterogeneity (e.g. texture), which affect the climate system. As an ecosystem ecologist with a strong background in microbial drivers of biogeochemistry, my primary goal is to use data from a robust global study measuring the effect of climate change on ecosystem processes to enhance the next generation of ESM making them more accurate and relevant to global policy. To achieve this goal I have developed key collaborations. Dr. H. Lee is an expert ecological modeler with an interest in enhancing ESM. NorESM is a leading ESM developed in Norway and used in many international modelling programs e.g. IPCC. Dr. A. Classen manages a 10 site global network measuring the ecosystem level impacts of warming. Dr. W. Wieder has initiated the development of the Microbial Mineral Carbon Stabilization (MiMiCS) model, which considers microbial drivers and soil heterogeneity; however this module requires verification and integration into ESM. My objectives are to (1) Train at the with Dr. Lee and develop ESM simulations for our 10 sites, (2) Generate a field based dataset with the help of Dr. Classen and (3) Compare simulations and field data to verify and enhance MiMiCS and (4) Integrate the newly enhanced MiMiCS into NorESM. During this action I will enhance my career by becoming a key user of cutting-edge ESM, furthering international collaborations, and enhancing European based ESM. Moreover, I will transfer my knowledge of biogeochemistry and ecosystem ecology to model developers and scientists internationally with the goal of creating synergies. Th

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Nonholonomic metrics in the presence of obstacles. Application to motion planning' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

In this research project we intend to investigate the problem of planning feasible paths for car-like robots in environments cluttered by obstacles. Planning algorithms often rely on the notion of clearance from obstacles which is closely related to the length of the shortest feasible path to an obstacle (the two best known examples are skeletonization and potential field methods). To make the use of the shortest path metric appealing in real-time applications it is necessary to develop i algorithms that compu efficiently the length of these paths. Studies on this subject have been conducted in a joined work by Jean-Paul Laumond and the applicant. in the context of the EC project ESPRIT 3 Basic Research :6546 (PROMotion). l providing a new efficient geometric algorithm for distance computation (see the publications of the applicant). These promising results must be validated by integrating the proposed algorithm in a planner for a real-time moving platform. It is particularly advisable. to carry out this experimentation at LAAS-CNRS since in the laboratory three mobile robots (one carrying a trailer) are available. Another interesting question, arising from the previously mentioned work, which has not been vet investigated. deals with the characterization of the visibility sets for a car-like robot. This is closely related to the visibility problem classically defined in the framework of Euclidean metric. In the previous collaboration with Jean-Paul Laumond the applicant has characterized the visibility sets in position (i.e. the sets of positions in the plane reachable by a collision free shortest path unaffected by the presence of the obstacles). The extension to the 3-dimensional configuration space l (position in the plane and orientation of the robot) will be accom

user: Draft an impact statement for 'A New Adjuvant Nutraceutical from the North Atlantic Ocean for Breast, Lung and Pancreatic Cancer Patients', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Genis is based in Siglufjördur, a village in the North Iceland traditionally focused on the fishing industry. After the fishery crisis worsen in 2008, Siglufjördur started to pay attention to the marine biotechnology, with Genis at the forefront. Hence, since 2002, we develop health products based in T-ChOS™ (Therapeutic Chitooligosaccharides), which are compounds obtained from chitin extracted from the North Atlantic shrimp exoskeleton.  T-ChOS™ show a strong anti-inflammatory effect based in a novel biological pathway discovered by Genis: Inhibition of the YKL-40 chitinase enzyme, whose levels are very high in several diseases as cancer. Our in vitro, in vivo and human studies prove that T-ChOS™ can decrease inflammation and enhance tumour response to chemotherapy.  During the Ph1 project, we confirmed the feasibility of developing a nutraceutical based on T-ChOS™ to use as an adjuvant to chemotherapy in cancer patients.  In this Ph2 project, we aim to optimise manufacturing, validate through a clinical trial and bring to market SIMECOS: A nutraceutical for cancer patients derived from chitin purified T-ChOS™ molecules. SIMECOS targets lung, breast and pancreatic cancer patients, with survival rates after 5-year of 20%, 82.2% and 5.2%, respectively. SIMECOS is expected to increase their quality of life, thanks to its proven effects to decrease pain and fatigue. The high trends (30%-95%) among cancer patients to use complementary supplements entail a great business opportunity for SIMECOS as in Europe, there are more than 780,000 patients per year diagnosed with breast, pancreatic and lung cancer looking for solutions to decrease chemotherapy side effects and improve the effectiveness of their treatment. Clinically validated SIMECOS will help these patients. We expect

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Applying voltage-imaging techniques to visualise the effect of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) on cortical layer V pyramidal cells and its adaptation during tolerance development' (LSD).

assistant: **Innovation**

Serotonergic hallucinogens (sHG), such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), rank among the most controversially discussed agents of modern neuropsychopharmacology. They are popular drugs of abuse, scientifically are used to study the pathophysiology of psychosis, can pose a threat to health, but most recently also re-gained attention as promotors of psychotherapy. The controversy at hand remains unresolved by modern science and politics, and the European Research Area is faced with the imminent challenge to come up with a strong and competitive scientific basis that is able to elucidate how these drugs work and how their working potentially translates into benefit and/or detriment to European health and society. The psychoactive effects of sHG are mediated by activation of serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors within the cortex of the brain. In vivo, sHG disconnect cortical networks, desynchronise alpha oscillations and inhibit the metabolism of the cortex. In vitro, sHG primarily enhance the excitability of cortical layer V pyramidal cells (LVPCs), which is accounted for by 5-HT2A-glutamate interaction. The in vivo effects of sHG often are interpreted with regard to their in vitro effects. As there are virtually no LVPC specific investigations in living animals, however, the in vivo relevance of the postulated 5-HT2A-LVPC-glutamate triangle is highly speculative. Our project brings together Prof. Thomas Knöpfel, who has been pioneering optogenetic electrophysiology, and the 5-HT2A-hallucinogen expertise of Dipl. Psych. Tobias Buchborn. It applies advanced techniques of voltage imaging (with the voltage-sensitive fluorescent protein Butterfly 1.2 genetically targeted to LVPCs), combines them with selective neuropharmacological challenges and 5-HT2A specific ethological observ

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Co-operative requirements engineering with scenarios' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The CREWS project will develop, evaluate, and demonstrate the applicability of, methods and tools for co-operative scenario-based requirements elicitation and validation.As information technology is becoming an integral aspect of organisations, more stakeholders with less formal training must be involved in requirements elicitation, validation, and usage over long periods of time in a traceable manner. Effective and efficient team interaction become even more critical because systems must be continuously adapted to changing business practice and needs. Different kinds of scenarios (recorded current practice, animated specifications, use cases, illustrative examples) have been suggested to help this task. These scenario-based techniques must be better understood, effectively supported, and interrelated with traditional requirements engineering methods.The CREWS project will develop four related methods and tools for co-operative scenario-based requirements elicitation and validation. Multiple stakeholders will be supported in eliciting and negotiating requirements under different perspectives from real world scenes captured in multimedia. Local natural language understanding will allow stakeholders to augment graphical requirements representations with short natural language statements. Validation will be facilitated by co-operative requirements animation, and by systematic comparison of the specification with usage test scenarios interactively generated using domain knowledge.CREWS merges and extends two successful European research traditions. ICARUS (ESPRIT 2537) developed agent-oriented representations, essential for scalability of requirements models as well as for scenario animation, whereas NATURE (ESPRIT 6353) established comprehensive RE frameworks and theories
