user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Development and performance evaluation of a fast x-radioscopic and lock-in thermographic nde system for fibre based technical composites'.

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives and content The introduction of plant fibre based composites as a new group of materials and the steadily increasing application of conventional fibre composites for high strength engineering applications for pipes, storage tanks and other high risk areas has introduced an industrial demand for new, fast and reliable nondestructive evaluation techniques. From the scientific point-of-view one innovative aspect is related to developing inspection methodologies for plant fibre composites, which due to e.g. very similar density between fibres and matrix are difficult to inspect, by ordinary techniques. From an industrial point-of-view, the economic benefits of developing inspection methodology for fibre composite pipes, tanks and their welds are more important. Two complementary innovative fast techniques are being developed in this project:  A low energy near real time X-radioscopy system, comprising as an option a dual energy imaging module for optimum contrast between fibres and matrix; and  A lock-in thermography system, optimised concerning heat excitation procedure, heat source and excitation frequency for an optimum performance on inspection of the considered range of materials and geometries. These developments are evaluated in the project for their application with respect to the conventional fibre composites and the thermoplastic welds, and for plant fibre composites. In the latter case, since these materials are little known (but very attractive for environmental and strategic reasons), some effort is also attributed in the project to provide further understanding between the flaw population and the strength of the product. The opportunities connected with the project can be divided into three categories:  A short term, involving the immediate applicat

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Information Network for Quiet European Road Surface Technologies' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The project aims at coordinating communication and dissemination of past and present research pertaining to guidance on the use of low-noise technologies for road surfaces to European countries with less access and experience in applying knowledge in that field. One of the main instruments will be the dissemination of the contents of the Guidance Manual developed by SILVIA (Sustainable Road Surfaces for Traffic Noise Control", a European-funded project completed in August 2005) by means of a series of workshops in countries that were not involved in SILVIA, with priority given to new member states. Two of the partners (the Belgian Road Research Centre and the Danish Road Institute) were leaders in SILVIA and key staff from SILVIA are also working for FEHRL. These partners will coordinate the dissemination from SILVIA with the latest findings of on-going research activity carried out a European and national level.One of the main outputs of SILVIA is a proposed acoustic classification procedure for road surfacing materials and technologies. A complementary objective of the INQUEST project is to promote European harmonisation of testing methods and equipment for this purpose. To that end, one partner will set up a European network of users of the measurement methods involved in the classification procedure in order for them to exchange experience and data and to organise equipment comparison tests. It is noted that these tests are not proposed as part of the project."

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Vertices of simple modules for the symmetric and related finite groups'.

assistant: **Innovation**

This project aims to study representations of symmetric groups, alternating groups and other related finite groups, over non-zero characteristic. These representations are far from being semisimple, and many basic problems, like finding the irreducible representations - that is simple modules - are not solved in general. Therefore one needs to find and understand invariants of modules. We will focus on the distiguished classes of Specht modules and simple modules and will investigate vertices, sources, and complexity. These encapsulate local and group theoretic features on the one hand, and large-scale homological behaviour on the other hand. Spectacular new developments from Lie theory have opened up completely new perspectives, and we will combine the classical approach of G.D. James, the new methods originating in Kac-Moody algebras and quantum groups, and work by Kleshchev , Lascoux/Leclerc/Thibon, Ariki, Grojnowski, and Chuang/Rouquier.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Multiscale quantum bio-imaging and spectroscopy'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Understanding and controlling complex systems at different scales is a major challenge in biology and medicine. Quantum sensing technologies hold much promise for disruptive approaches to imaging and spectroscopy of biological matter.  MUQUABIS aims at developing synergetic tools of quantum bio-sensing and bio-imaging. Such sensors will offer biology a distinctive host of powerful features – non-invasiveness, sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolutions, likely to conquer new frontiers in imaging and spectroscopy, out-of-reach of their classical counterparts. A focus is a global structural and functional understanding of cardiac cell layers from molecules to cells to tissues. ¬Their study in healthy and diseased conditions will shed light on cardiac arrhythmias, largely responsible for morbidity and sudden cardiac death. Advancing beyond modern tools of photonics and quantum measurements, new concepts for quantum frequency combs and infrared lasers will be explored. Low-light-level spectro-imaging will detect cell-membrane proteins and gaseous metabolites nearby cell tissues, below the quantum noise limit. Concurrently, a quantum magneto-microscope based on diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers will be combined to optical imaging for electrophysiology. Such a hybrid sensor will simultaneously and locally reveal the magnetic and electric fields in cardiac-cell activity.   MUQUABIS proposes a unique synergic effort, gathering complementary expertise, technologies and infrastructures. Leading research institutions in quantum sensing, quantum optics and biophysics, together with four high-tech companies will rapidly move the project from fundamental quantum sensing components and protocols to technology validation on biological samples to a roadmap for industrial exploitation.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'SIGNIA: An innovative drug discovery platform for rapid identification and validation of antimicrobial applications in available pharmaceutical resources and drugs open for repurposing.' (SIGNIA).

assistant: **Concept**

The economic and social burden of infections is being enhanced by the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens. This phenomenon is outpacing the industry’s capacity for drug discovery and development. Antimicrobial resistance is costing the EU today €1.5 billion and 25,000 deaths annually. Developing de novo classical drugs is very costly and time consuming, and for every new drug released a resistant strain has rapidly emerged. This paradigm is hindering our ability to respond to outbreaks. Among causative organisms, viruses pose a major threat, being responsible for the outbreaks impacting the world in the past decade (SARS, Influenza A, MERS, etc). Although some antivirals have been developed for them, they lose their efficacy rapidly due to the high mutation rate of viruses, which alters the antigenic features originally used to develop the drug. Thus, there is an urgent need for novel discovery methods that allow to accelerate the development of broad-spectrum and mutability-independent antimicrobials. In response, Signia Therapeutics has developed and validated a drug discovery platform for fast identification of compounds with antimicrobial activity. Instead of selecting drugs that target pathogen determinants, it selects drugs that target determinants of the infected cell. This method offers key advantages: i) avoids the impact of microbe intrinsic mutability; ii) broad spectrum drugs can be identified. Since the platform seeks for antimicrobial applications among drugs already commercialized (repurposing) and among pharma libraries (recycling), drug discovery becomes faster, safer and cost-efficient. Having reached the functional stage (TRL6), this project encloses the roadmap to finalise the platform’s development and its preparation for market. Once completed, t

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Tropical cyclones generated by tropical transition over the North Atlantic Ocean and their potential hazards for Europe' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

During the last 15 years, the eastern North Atlantic has witnessed anomalous tropical cyclones (TCs) generated by the tropical transition (TT) process, some of them affecting or threatening European regions, causing societal damage and public concern. TT is a recently detected TC formation process by which a baroclinically formed extratropical cyclone evolves into a system with a full TC structure. It is also this type of TCs that has the highest likelihood of affecting Europe because they form in midlatitudes. Understanding the TT phenomenon is thus important for weather forecast and informing the public, and researching its link with anthropogenic climate change (ACC) could aid in future mitigation strategy, both with socioeconomical benefits. Recent studies indicated a potential increase of ex-TCs affecting Europe, i.e. of TCs forming via the typical non-TT mechanism and transitioning into extratropical cyclones. However, these studies did not address the TT pathway. Considering the TT process provides a more reliable assessment of the risk of TCs affecting Europe. In addition, newly developed high-resolution global climate models (GCMs) are now potentially capable of simulating TTs. Thus, in order to fill the important knowledge gap about TCs affecting Europe, this project aims to (1) better characterize the development of TTs over the North Atlantic, their predictability and their relationship with midlatitude dynamics, (2) study the representation of TTs in state-of-the-art GCMs, and finally (3) assess the relationship between ACC and TTs, with special focus on Europe. This project is original as it uses new tools and simulations and deals with specific aspects of North Atlantic TCs that have not been addressed before. These aspects are likely highly important for

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Identification of environmental and genetic risk factors for age related hearing impairment' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the 21st century, Europe will face the burden of its ageing population. The most common sensory impairment among the elderly is age related hearing impairment (ARHI). In this project, we want to identify the ethiological factors involved in ARHI, including the genetic causes, the environmental causes and the interaction between them. A large cohort of patients and controls, originating from various parts of Europe, will be subjected to audiologic evaluation, genetic analysis and a questionnaire on suspected environmental risks. We expect to identify the major susceptibility genes and clarify the role of environmental risk factors. The interaction between the different factors will be studied using neural network computing. Based upon these results, guidelines will be formulated for the prevention of ARHI.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Microbiome Applications for Sustainable food systems through Technologies and EnteRprise' (MASTER) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Although microorganisms dominate almost every ecological niche in our planet, it has only been during the past 10-15 years that we have begun to gain insights into the composition and function of microbial communities (microbiomes) as a consequence of major advances in High Throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) technologies. These approaches have allowed a comprehensive analysis of microbiomes for the first time. Following initial curiosity-driven investigations of microbiomes using HTS technologies, the field has evolved to harness the insights provided, leading to the development of a new multi-billion euro industry focused on characterisation and modulation of microbiomes. The vast majority of this investment has been in the clinical space. In contrast, far less is known about microbiomes across complex food chains, making it difficult to harness food-chain microbiome data for the development of more sustainable food systems and to yield innovative products and applications. This is despite the evident importance of microbes throughout the food chain. MASTER will take a global approach to the development of concrete microbiome products, foods/feeds, services  or processes with high commercial potential, which will benefit society through improving the quantity, quality and safety of food, across multiple food chains, to include marine, plant, soil, rumen, meat, brewing, vegetable waste, and fermented foods. This will be achieved through mining microbiome data relating to the food chain, developing big data management tools to identify inter-relations between microbiomes across food chains, and generating applications which promote sustainability, circularity and contribute to waste management and climate change mitigation. We will harness microbiome knowledge to significan

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Enabling the large-scale deployment of Facial Recognition in banking security'.

assistant: **Innovation**

FacePhi is a company founded in 2006 specialized in the development and commercialization of advanced Face Recognition Software solutions. There is a strong demand in the banking industry for secure biometric applications. In fact, in May 2014 the European Central Bank (ECB) published a list of recommendations for increased banking security and biometrics was included as one of the most secure authentication methods. Concerns about banking security have always existed, but it has been after the breakthrough of online and mobile banking when bank fraud has become major issue to address with urgency. Currently, banking authentication is typically done by using 4-6 digits PIN codes. This form of authentication provides an extremely low security, especially in online banking where cybercriminals can hack this PIN code in a matter of seconds. As a result, the total value of fraudulent transactions is rapidly increasing year by year, being now estimated at €1.44 billion solely in Europe. In this scenario, biometrics holds great promise to become a reference banking authentication method in a near future. However, despite the clear opportunity there are still some barriers preventing the banking biometrics breakthrough, at least on a large scale.FacePhi has developed a face recognition technology, specifically designed to overcome the current barriers preventing the large scale deployment of banking biometrics. Now, in the FACCESS Phase 2 project we seek demonstrating our facial recognition technology can actually unleash the large scale deployment of banking biometrics by the implementation of our product in the mobile/online platforms of 6 international banking institutions.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Elucidating mechanisms underlying trait instability in maize' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Crop trait instability, particularly under climate change, poses a significant challenge to global food security. Epigenetic mechanisms are increasingly recognized as key contributors to this instability. Paramutation, an epigenetic phenomenon where one silenced inducing allele heritably silences its homologous active sensitive counterpart, leads to unstable traits across generations. Despite its implications for breeding, the mechanisms underlying paramutation remain largely elusive. Recent findings from the host lab suggest that specific DNA methylation and histone modification patterns play central roles in this process. Building on these insights, this project investigates how these epigenetic modifications influence paramutation, using the maize booster1 (b1) gene as a model.The project is structured into two main objectives: First, I will investigate the hypothesis that inactive DNA flanking the sensitive b1 allele facilitates its silencing by the inducing b1 allele. If true, when exposed to the inducing allele, DNA methylation will spread from the inactive flanking DNA into the active b1 sequences, triggering their silencing. To test this, I will generate detailed DNA methylation profiles during key developmental stages using the novel Cas9-targeted long-read sequencing (nCATS) method. Second, I will explore the relationship between DNA methylation and repressive histone modifications, focusing on the order in which these epigenetic marks are established during paramutation. I will also employ the novel dCas12a-SunTag-TET1-system to specifically demethylate the flanking inactive regions of the active b1 allele, and assess its impact on paramutation. These approaches will advance our understanding of paramutation and provide clues on how to stabilise desirable cro

user: Draft an impact statement for 'NAno and MIcro -TEC SMEs in Integrate Projects (IPs) and Networks of Excellence (NoE)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The primary objective of the present proposal is to promote the participation of SMEs in the new instruments of FP6: IPs, in particular, and NoE.The attention will focus on projects referring to nano and micro technologies and their application in the most important industrial sectors (ITC, Transportation, Health Care, Aerospace and Environment) which happen to be also among the priority themes of FP6. Given the high impact of these technologies on the future technological innovation they both are high in the agenda of FP6. Nanotechnology is the principal objective of the Thematic Priority Area 3,but micro and nano technology will be fundamental drivers of the research also in practically all the other thematic priorities. IPs and NoE are the instruments of choice in FP6 to foster research and technological innovation in Europe. By promoting the participation of SMEs in IPs and NoE,this project aims to make sure that SMEs will participate to this effort. To reach this goal the activity will aim to:* Assess situation and perspectives in the countries participating in the project with respect to micro and nanotechnologies and the five sectors of application selected to pin point SMES,research structures and facilities, technological incubators, large enterprises, etc.*Identify the SMEs that are most active and qualified. Assess their needs and plans.*Identify IPs and NoE that fit with needs and plans of SMEs.*Establish contacts that could be instrumental for the creation of national and trans-national networks, make evident synergies between projects.*Assist the SMEs to join the above said projects assuring the quality level of this participation.The project brings together partners from 13 countries, some are NAS and 2 are from outside the ED, giving to it a large trans-
