user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'The synaptic active zone as a signaling hub for sleep homeostasis and resilience'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Resilience designates the ability of the brain to cope with and adapt to stressful situations. Sleep homeostasis is tightly linked to resilience, and the sleep deficits observed alongside neurodegeneration probably operate as direct drivers of neurodegeneration. However, the knowledge gaps still remain huge and causally bridging the molecular/cellular with the behavioral and organismic level remains a challenge, hampering progress equally for biomedical and basic research.Our recent data suggest that a form of presynaptic active zone plasticity (PreScale), widely triggered in sleep-deprived Drosophila brains, can enhance the brain resilience to cope with the adverse effects of sleep deprivation. Concretely, genetically fostering PreScale in sleepless mutants rescued them from their reduced lifetime, stress sensitivity, cognitive deficits and hyperexcitability due to too low levels of voltage-gated potassium channels.In SynProtect, we seek to test our hypothesis that PreScale constitutes a globally-operating homeostatic plasticity mechanism remodeling presynaptic terminals comprehensively to tune resilience states.In order to test this idea, we will elucidate the core molecular scenario executing and bidirectionally regulating PreScale and, consequently, decipher how exactly the remodeling of the mere presynaptic active zones and local excitability tuning via potassium channels intersect at the presynaptic terminal. In parallel, we will test whether PreScale is needed to enhance resilience in a brainwide fashion or if its modus operandi is more local. Genetic manipulation of PreScale will allow us to define brain states of high andlow resilience, which we will dissect combining super-resolution and in vivo activity imaging and proteomic tools. Thus, we will open the way

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'AMPLE: Aspect-Oriented, Model-Driven, Product Line Engineering'.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of this project is to provide a Software Product Line (SPL) development methodology that offers improved modularisation of variations, their holistic treatment across the software lifecycle and maintenance of their (forward and backward) traceability during SPL evolution. Currently, there is a big gap between research in requirements analysis, architectural modelling and implementation technology, and the industrial practice in SPL engineering. Furthermore, the focus tends to be on the design and code level when variations need to be identified, managed and analysed from the very early stage of requirements engineering. Architecture models are related to requirements models in an ad-hoc fashion and implementation tends to rely on pre-processors which are inadequate substitute for proper programming language support for variability. Nor is there any systematic traceability framework for relating variations across a SPL engineering lifecycle.Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) can improve the way in which software is modularised, localising its variability in independent aspects as well as improving the definition of complex configuration logic to customise SPLs. Model-Driven Development (MDD) can help to express concerns as a set of models without technical details and support traceability of the high-level requirements and variations through model transformations.AMPLE will combine AOSD and MDD techniques to not only address variability at each stage in the SPL engineering lifecycle but also manage variations in associated artefacts such as requirements documents. Furthermore, it aims to bind the variation points in various development stages and dimensions into a coherent variability framework across the life cycle thus providing effective forward and b

user: Draft an impact statement for 'IntEgrated protection and Restoration apprOaches for natUral Lake EcoSystems', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

EUROLakes project proposes an innovative, holistic, and science-based approach to safeguarding and restoring European natural lakes and their ecosystems. This project builds upon the 4 Returns Framework for Landscape Restoration, a practical methodology designed to seek sustainable, long-term solutions at the landscape level, with the aim of achieving four types of returns: inspiration, social benefits, natural restoration, and financial gains. This holistic approach is realized through five key elements: establishing a landscape partnership, fostering shared understanding, collaboratively envisioning the landscape, taking coordinated action, and continuously monitoring and learning. The EUROLakes project will establish local communities of practice and, in collaboration with them, develop and showcase innovative, integrated protection and restoration solutions, with a particular focus on nature-based solutions (NBS). These solutions will be demonstrated in three specific areas: Lake Vico in Italy, Lake Bistreţ in Romania, and Lake Dümmer in Germany. Furthermore, the project will highlight the long-term potential for replication by enhancing local capacity in Denmark, Ireland, and Moldova. These approaches will be complemented by modeling activities and the dissemination of knowledge regarding nature finance, contributing to a comprehensive adaptive management strategy aimed at restoring the ecological and chemical health of natural lakes to a ""good"" status.In this way, the EUROLakes project will directly contribute to the objectives of various EU instruments and policies, including the Water Framework Directive, the Green Deal, and its Mission objective to ""restore, protect, and preserve the health of our oceans, seas, and waters by 2030.""""

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Neuromorphic computing system for real-time signal monitoring and classification with ultra-low-power 2D devices'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The detection and classification of electrophysiological signals (EPSs), such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) recordings, are the gold standard in neuroscience, enabling the identification of digital biomarkers capable of health monitoring, personalised medicine and advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The state-of-the-art technology in this field, however, still relies on bulky, inefficient microelectronic systems which relies on artificial intelligence (AI) in the cloud. The energy efficiency and classification accuracy can be largely improved by neuromorphic computing with emerging materials and devices capable of mimicking the neural mechanisms in our brain. This project aims at developing a novel class of neuromorphic systems based on reservoir computing (RC) in charge trap memory (CTM) based on 2D semiconductors. 2D-CTM devices are able to extracted features from EPSs at extremely low power and high accuracy of classification, thus providing efficient biomarkers for medical diagnosis and BCIs. The project will develop the RC system based on the 2D-CTM technology for a broad application space, with the goal of establishing a novel technology platform for scalable, lowpower implantable/wearable chips for real-time EPS monitoring and classification.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Development of sensor systems for measuring shear forces in body contact interfaces' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Skin injuries seen on patients who suffer diabetics or similar physiological orneuropathical problems are a major clinical problem, resulting in enormous costs in health care. These problems usually occur on the interface of patient and product and are caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors are related with pressure, shear forces, temperatures and humidity. Most of these skin injuries are seen at sites of high forces. Since information is needed about the local distribution to study the aetiology of skin injuries, it is important to have a measuring system which not only measures the pressure distribution, but also the shear forces at the interface between body and contact surface, as is the aim of the project.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Development of conducting adhesives for the gluing of raise access floors', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The project is focused on the development of solvent-free conducting adhesives for the gluing of raise access floors. An access floor is a number of panels supported by pedestals placed at each corner and standing in adhesive secured feet on a concrete building slab. The void between the slab and the underside of the panels facilitates the convenient storage of building services, such as cables, pipes, AC ducts, etc. Due to the electric cables conduction, electrostatic charges, that can be a serious problem in industry, are generated in this type of floors. In the access floors, the static charges are avoiding choosing conducting coatings, which are unloaded through a contact and an exit system to ground, of some supports of the system. However, to obtain a suitable conduction, it is also necessary to use conducting adhesives creating a pathway of moderate electrical conductivity and allowing static charges to flow safely to a grounding point.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Novel bio-inspired environmentally-friendly process for producing durable and dimensionally-stable wood' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Wood is a natural, renewable, reusable and recyclable material, thus contributing positively to EU’s 2050 goals,by enabling a high standard of living from reduced energy and resource consumption.To ensure a long and useful life, timber — especially softwoods – needs protection from hazards of fungal decay and weathering.The current approach to wood preservation is based on toxicity. Wood impregnation with biocides (containing creosote, arsenic, zinc, copper, chromium, etc.) prevents biological degradation,but the European directive on the use of biocides place severe restrictions nowadays on the active substances that can be used in wood preservation and their fields of application.Wood treated with such preservatives is classified as hazardous waste.Furthermore, current treatments don’t have positive contributions to other critical properties of wood, such as dimensional stability or water absorption.Recent research has demonstrated that antifungal components and hydrophobic extractives produced by trees themselves can be effectively used as environmentally-friendly wood preservatives. This novel patent-protected bio-inspired approach is based on ""wood preservation as trees do it"", in effect, converting sapwood to have characteristics of durable heartwood.SafeWood offers an innovative solution for safe and environmentally-friendly preservation of wood.The approach benefits from a synergetic combination of material (tall oil, a natural extractive from heart-wood obtained as a by-product of paper manufacturing), together with a novel emulsion-based impregnation process.In Phase 1, technological and implementation feasibility will be assessed, together withdevelopment of a business model to evaluate economic viability, assessment of risk and return on investment.In the

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Narrative Ordering and Explanation in the Sciences: Historical Investigations and Perspectives' (NARRATIVENSCIENCE).

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of this project is to understand the role of narrative in modern science. Narratives have appeared in many places in the human, social and natural sciences over the past two centuries. They can be found both in accounts of real situations and in simulations of virtual situations, in empirical work and in theorizing. It is clear that narratives have played important roles for scientists well beyond the simple act of reporting. Yet we lack an account of what kinds of thing scientists know from using narrative and how such ‘narrative knowing’ is constituted. Indeed, with the notable exceptions of medicine and evolutionary biology, even the study of those field narratives, as narratives, has been largely ignored by both historians of science and narrative scholars.What do scientists gain from using narratives, what functions do narratives play? Initial research shows that scientists have used narratives to figure out what fits together with what, and to create coherence amongst the elements in their research.  But the means of such ordering vary - from site to site, and from science to science. Narratives used to explore a path dependent system in nineteenth century biology used a different mode of ordering both from the configuring narratives of mid-twentieth century case studies in sociology, and from the ‘how possibly’ narratives of modern computer-based simulations. Such variety requires a broad project, using many case studies to explore the critical role that scientists’ narratives have played in modern science. Making sense of such variety offers an ambitious challenge. But while there is surely no simple answer to why scientists use narratives, all these notions of narrative ordering do have something in common. They suggest that narratives function not just

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Validation, expansion and standardisation of procedures for high temperature defect assessment' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Objectives and content Accurate component life prediction is crucial to the safe, reliable and economic performance of all types of high temperature plant. It is particularly difficult when components are found to contain crack-like surface or embedded defects, since for these situations there are no well-established International or European Standards. Some guidelines or methodologies do exist within Germany, France and the UK but difficulties with them are the lack of commonality and very limited validation thus significantly limiting their application. This proposal is aimed at addressing the above issues. The work will involve: - validating and expanding the database of the existing high temperature defect assessment procedures by conducting tests on component type geometries and 'scoping' tests on standard laboratory type specimens, together with data from plant experience - developing new methodologies for predicting the behaviour of high temperature components operating under steady and/or cyclic load conditions with a view to refining the present procedures - unifying and refining existing procedures with a view to making recommendations for a Euro-Standard - developing a knowledge-Based System for HIDA demonstration and applicability, and - providing a Database for materials used in high temperature applications for fossil and nuclear power plant and for process and petrochemical plant. The materials include the pressure vessel piping materials 2.25Cr1Mo (550øC), AISI 316 Stainless Steel (550øC), and ASTM Grade 91 (600øC), a 1CrMoV forged rotor material (530øC) and a cast 1CrMoV casing material (530øC).

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Micro-dynamics of rebellions: An inquiry into the role of middle level commanders in Chad' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

This research seeks to extend the literature on the micro-dynamics of civil wars by focusing on a little-studied issue: the role of middle level commanders in unstable armed groups. How do they broker and shape the relationships of politico-military leaders and grassroots combatants? Our contention is that middle level commanders play a crucial role in shaping rebel groups’ profile and conduct even if they do not dictate the movement’s political agenda. This research will be conducted in Eastern Chad where armed groups have proliferated since the 1970s. Drawing on her past experience of fieldwork in this region, the fellow will carry out her research with a qualitative method. The analysis, which will provide a historically and socially grounded understanding of rebel hierarchy in Chad, seeks to open up a new set of questions on a conflict which has not received adequate attention. In addition to a contribution to the extant literature on armed conflicts, this research will deliver timely, policy-relevant findings at a crucial point when the European Union has deployed its biggest peace keeping mission in Chad. The fellowship is crucial to the project as it will allow the fellow to diversify her research profile by collaborating with internationally leading scholars at Berkeley; implement the acquired training in innovative research at the return host institution in France; and enhance her competitiveness in the male-dominated fields of African studies and conflict studies.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Complete  Dynamic Multi-cloud Application Management'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Application service providers (ASPs) now develop, deploy, and maintain complex computing platforms within multiple cloud infrastructures to improve resilience, responsiveness and elasticity of their applications.  The CYCLONE project targets the ASPs, providing them with software and tools that 1) facilitate the deployment, management, and use of their complex, multi-cloud applications and 2) enhance the end-to-end security and network management of those applications.Using agile methodologies and continuous delivery, CYCLONE integrates and improves mature, open-source components, such as StratusLab, OpennNaaS, SlipStream, and TCTP. Participants from the bioinformatics and energy sectors will guide the initial platform development; use cases from additional sectors identified during the project will drive its subsequent evolution.  Constant availability of the CYCLONE testbed allows all these users to rapidly prototype their complex cloud applications and to provide continuous feedback to the developers, thus validating the CYCLONE software’s design, implementation, and production quality.CYCLONE allows ASPs to aggregate resources from multiple cloud providers (private and public) to improve the reliability of their applications through geographic redundancy, to enhance the user experience by placing services (and data) near their users, to lower barriers between cloud providers via a cloud deployment engine with appropriate resource abstractions, and to tailor intra- and inter-site networking resources.  Coupled with application-level security features and trust bootstrapping mechanisms, CYCLONE allows ASPs to define their own innovative and secure cloud platform tailored to their needs and trusted by their users.
