user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Cost assessment for sustainable energy systems' (CASES) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The CASES Co-ordination Action has three principal objectives: I.To compile detailed estimates of both external and internal costs of energy production for different energy sources for the EU-25 Countries and for some non-EU Countries under energy scenario s to 2030; II.To evaluate policy options for improving the efficiency of energy use, taking account of the full cost data; III.To disseminate research findings to energy sector producers and users and the policy making community. These objectives reflect t he general requirement of the Sustainable Energy Systems Work Programme to address questions of socio-environmental damages of energy production and consumption" and "to make a comparative cost analysis for present and future energy generation alternative s". The CASES CA is also relevant to the commitments undertaken by the European Union within the Kyoto Protocol. A detailed knowledge of the full cost structure of energy production within the EU-25 and some key non-EU countries is crucial to reach efficie nt decisions concerning emission reduction plans and JI/DCM projects. Objective I is met in a series of 7 inter-linked work packages that, in a dynamic way, evaluate and compare system costs associated with alternative energy technologies, including social and environmental damage costs. Objective II is met in a series of 4 work packages that evaluate alternative policy instruments to internalise environment related externalities in the EU Member States and in selected non-EU countries. Objective III is met through two stakeholder meetings that serve to validate and disseminate the projects outputs, and through a final conference presenting the results of the CA, and finally through a variety of dissemination means appropriate to the likely different audienc es.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'DietWise: Systemic Solutions to Enhance Healthy and Sustainable Food Provision and Cooking at Home' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The DietWise advances the state-of-the-art by proposing systemic changes, a focus on inclusion, and open social innovations with the aim of developing solutions that streamline existing tools and applications to foster healthy and sustainable food provision and to make cooking, eating, and treating of food at home the most attractive choice for all stakeholders. Using disruptive new approaches and voluntary market self-regulation, our activities will help to dampen nutritional noise gradually and organically merge cultural and commercial practices with a healthier and sustainable food consumption pattern. Next, we will empower citizens with novel, citizen science-based solutions that will shift the role citizens play – away from passive actors influenced by the food environment to citizens as active participants influencing their decisions and helping to create better digital food environments. The project will generate multiple novel insights to empower citizens to make healthy and sustainable choices and original empirical evidence through 'big data' analysis, large-scale surveys, qualitative research, and micro-level experiments. From a methodological point of view, we will harness novel state of the art methods, such as using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with deep learning techniques to analyze big online data. Finally, we will integrate scientific and empirical findings into social innovations powered by AI and develop user-oriented tools to support citizens. As a result, our methodological and empirical advancements will provide a deeper understanding of how various external system-level environmental factors shape attitudes and beliefs towards healthy and sustainable food provision and cooking, how to motivate consumers to follow nutrition guidelines,

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Black hole growth fuelled by counter-rotating gas' (CR-GAS).

assistant: **Concept**

Supermassive black holes are ubiquitous in the centres of galaxies. They remain largely invisible to our probes, except during their active phases (AGN), when gas is accreted onto the black hole. The energy output of AGN is thought to be able to regulate the growth of galaxies and supermassive black holes. However, we still do not understand how gas is transported to fuel the AGN. One of the outstanding challenges in galaxy evolution is to uncover what physical conditions in the host galaxy trigger or halt the black hole feeding process. In this Global Fellowship project I will make significant advances to solve the problem of AGN fuelling with an innovative approach. I propose to use counter-rotating structures in galaxies to determine: 1) how gas is transported, and 2) if counter-rotation itself promotes the flow of gas to the black hole. Counter-rotation is an unambiguous dynamical tracer that will allow me to unveil for the first time the path of gas from the large scale of the galaxy to the central black hole, thereby determining what physical mechanisms transport gas. I will carry out the project at two world renowned institutions: the University of California Los Angeles and the University of Copenhagen. During the fellowship I will acquire broad skills on photometry analysis and comparison samples to combine with my current expertise on state-of-the-art data analysis and dynamical models to reach the science goals of the project. I will receive additional training on proposal and grant application writing to enhance my career opportunities at the end of the fellowship. On the incoming phase I will bring my acquired expertise and access to a network of international collaborators to Europe, which is important for European institutes to maximise their returns from

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Novel Electrochemical Exfoliation Approach to the Synthesis of Large Area, Defect-Free and Single Layer Graphene and Its Application in Fuel Cells' (GRAPHENERGY3).

assistant: **Concept**

Large area, scalable production of single layer and defect free graphene is important for its use in industrial applications. Currently, common methods used to prepare graphene include micromechanical cleavage, chemical vapor deposition, and chemical reduction. However, all these methods have their own shortcomings, for example, difficulty in scale-up or poor quality due to significant defects. To address this issue, in this project, we will focus on developing a novel electrochemical cathodic exfoliation approach to produce high quality graphene. Non-covalent edge-functionalization will be employed to open graphite edges. Upon a negative potential applied on the functionalized graphite electrode, H+ cations from protic ionic liquid electrolyte will be inserted into graphite interlayers and be reduced to hydrogen gas to further open the edge of graphite, which will facilitate the larger imidazolium cations to intercalate, expand and completely exfoliate graphite to single layer graphene. This cathodic exfoliation approach is nondestructive to the resultant graphene, and maintains its perfect structure and electronic properties, which will result in high electrochemical stability and benefit the performance of graphene-based fuel cell electrocatalysts. Finally proton exchange membrane fuel cells will be fabricated with graphene based electrocatalysts above and these are expected to exhibit high power density and long term durability, which may produce a promising future energy technology.

user: Explain how 'Sparse approximations for blind source separation' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project will focus on novel mathematical, numerical, and algorithmic tools for Blind Source Separation (BSS) and on innovative applications in digital signal and image restoration. In nature several observed phenomena are a suitable superposition of basic sources. To understand the core of such phenomena and their origin it is fundamental to separate such contributions. Within this general framework several analyses and methods have been proposed.One of the most successful is the Independent Component Analysis (ICA), where the source is assumed to be a vector valued signal with component as statistically independent as possible. Nevertheless ICA cannot be a universal tool for any BSS problem. In fact in several concrete applications the independence assumption is unrealistic. The project will investigate a new generation of methods for BSS based on the so-called sparsity assumption: The source signal components are assumed to be represented as a sum of weighted basic signals belonging to a prescribed dictionary where only few of them are relevant.Typically one can think that the signals belong to a certain Banach space of functions and that the dictionary is an unconditional basis or a frame for this space. Since the sparsity assumption depends on the dictionary, one can also design the dictionary in order to obtain the sparsest representation. Also for this reason, the sparsity assumption is often more realistic than the sole statistical independence. We will provide the mathematical framework for BSS based on sparisity assumptions, together with numerical and algorithmic tools for its solution. We will focus on specific applications in image processing and in particular for functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Re-inforced extrusion of pvc-replacement, delayed-kinking, non-collapsing tubing (NK-TUBE)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

A prototype melt phase extrusion system developed to a stage where two materials can be combined and rotated in that one of the materials forms a helical form. Tool engineered to provide sealing against polymers at high pressures and allow low friction rotation of bearing faces around the functional element of the system. Further development of the prototype tool required to optimise the manner in which the two materials are kept distinct within the structure.Design and manufacture of a test system for quantification of delayed kinking performance of a range of polymers in tube form. System allows accurate comparison of kink performance of tubes (in trials, medical catheter tube) with respect to point of kink initiation, rate of kink propagation, point of 50% flow and point of 100% flow reduction (zero flow). Believed to be the first test that provides accurate means of comparison between materials supplied into the tube market. Test rig to be used to establish and develop performance of existing tube materials and to quantify the performance of products made on the prototype tooling once further developed.Identification, through scientific analysis, of significant correlation between specific material properties and good kink performance. Certain material properties, contrary to widespread opinion within industry, identified as not having significant correlation with kink resistance.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'NMR Spectroscopy of very large complexes: the atomic details of the mRNA degradation machinery' (MRNA-DECAY).

assistant: **Concept**

The cellular environment is extremely complex and contains thousands of different bio-molecules. To determine how these bio-molecules assemble into a highly organized molecular system has remained a major challenge. Here, we aim to unravel how dozens of proteins assemble into a large molecular machinery that degrades mRNA in an efficient and regulated manner.On an atomic level, we will determine the static structures of the enzymes involved in the mRNA degradation pathways. In parallel, we will develop and exploit novel methods in NMR spectroscopy to correlate molecular motions with catalytic activity. Especially for the 450 kDa eukaryotic exosome complex, these studies will significantly push the limits of what is currently achievable. On a molecular level, we will reconstitute the mRNA degradation machinery from purified components in a stepwise manner. In this challenging approach, we will use NMR spectroscopy to follow how the enzymes engage in a network of interactions that regulate the mRNA degradation process. These studies will also provide us with the unique possibility to reproduce complex cellular behavior in a well defined and easy to manipulate in vitro system. On a microscopic level the mRNA degradation machinery assembles into cytoplasmic processing bodies. The role of these conserved cellular foci is a matter of debate and we aim to determine both the atomic details that result in this self-organization as well as the catalytic advantages that result from this clustering.Our study will provide a very detailed and accurate description of how essential and central molecular processes in mRNA degradation are regulated and modulated. The level of detail that we aim to achieve is currently not available for any cellular pathway of such complexity. In that reg

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Fungi in white biotechnology: Expression of novel lignocellulose degrading enzymes'.

assistant: **Objectives**

White Biotechnology consists of modern applications for the sustainable processing and production of chemicals, materials and energy. It uses whole organisms and enzymes to synthesize products that are easily degradable, require less energy and create less waste during their production. Various agricultural, agro-industrial and forestry lignocellulosic residues are known to have a huge potential as cheap and renewable feedstocks for production of bioenergy and the opportunity of co-producing valuable-added chemicals. Lignocellulose represents the most abundant renewable organic resource. For the efficient decomposition of lignocellulose fungi utilise a set of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes recognized as economically viable and environmentally friendly industrial biocatalysts. To make industrial applications feasible,an efficient production system for these enzymes would be needed.This project focuses on the science underlying the use of lignocellulosic materials in biotechnological applications. To further enhance our understanding of decomposition of lignocellulose by fungal enzymes, the project focus on the characterisation and heterologous production of new lignocellulose decomposing enzymes. These enzymes will be isolated, biochemically characterized and corresponding genes will be cloned and expressed in selected host organisms. Recombinant protein expression techniques in ascomycetes are not yet in use for the basidiomycete enzymes in the Univ. of Helsinki (UHel) thus setting-up these techniques will be of great importance. The combination of skills gained by the applicant during her MC Fellowship at the Univ of Nottingham and the excellent facilities at UHel make the project feasible and the project outputs will underpin the future career development of the app
