user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Enhancing the capacity for Environmental Technology and Climate Research' (ENTEC) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

EnTeC aspires to enhance the R&D potential of the Institute of Nuclear & Radiological Sciences & Technology, Energy & Safety (INRaSTES) of NCSRD, Greece, by establishing a research infrastructure for Environmental Technology and Climate Research in the field of atmospheric pollution and climate change assessment of the Southeast European region.The institute has achieved significant progress and growth but needs further support to evolve to a major R&D centre on Integrated New Environmental Technologies and Climate Research. The proposal builds on a focused Action Plan, directly aiming at strengthening the research capacity of INRaSTES for advancing its participation in environmental/climate related research activities at European, National and Regional level. Major objectives are:- Upgrade of the existing research infrastructure (recruitment of high level scientific personnel, modernization / acquisition of equipment)- Strategic partnership between INRaSTES and renowned research entities in the field of atmospheric and climate research in the ERA.- Outreaching of the INRaSTES scientific achievements / capacities to increase visibility of the work and expanding R&D collaborations;- Pursuit of long-term self-sustainability to ensure financial support for the whole spectrum of the proposed R&D activities beyond EnTec.The lack of high-resolution, long-term climate data records causes a severe uncertainty about the long term effects of air pollution and establishment of global climate change effects in regional scales. Southeast Europe and the Mediterranean are areas where regional climate change is more intense and diverse than elsewhere in Europe. The foreseen EnTeC activities aim at combining complementary expertise in areas such as field measurements (monitoring/samplin

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Shielding food safety and security by enabling the foresight of fungal spoilage and mycotoxins threats in the Mediterranean region under climate change conditions' (FunShield4Med) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The overall aim of the FunShield4Med project is to strengthen the scientific excellence and innovation capacity of the Institute of Technology of Agricultural Products (ITAP) of Hellenic Agricultural Organisation – DIMITRA (ELGO-DIMITRA) from Greece in the field of food safety against mycotoxigenic spoilage fungi and mycotoxins under climate change challenges. The strategic collaboration of advanced partners from Italy (University of Parma/Dept of Food and Drug), Spain (University of Lleida/Food Technology Dept), and UK (Cranfield University/Soil and Agrifood Institute), and an internationally-leading University from Greece (National Kapodistrian University of Athens/Dept. of Chemistry) will ensure the knowledge and expertise transfer, help build new research alliances, and enrich, apart from Institute’s personnel, as well as young researchers' capacities from all members of the consortium. In order to achieve the Twinning call’s specific objectives the consortium of FunShield4Med will implement a comprehensive set of measures and activities, such as Short term staff exchanges and expert visits, Training workshops, Seminars, Summer schools, and Dissemination and outreach activities. In addition to the specific objectives of Twinning, a comprehensive research project is foreseen focusing on mycotoxigenic spoilage fungi and mycotoxins in relation to one main EU entry point (Greece) for imports from the South and East (African and Asian countries), to facilitate appropriate surveillance of commodities where mycotoxin contamination may increase because of climate change (CC) factors. This will minimize exposure of consumer to these toxins and will provide benefits in traceability of both emerging and modified forms of mycotoxins in staple food and drink chains in the contex

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'African Migrant Women' (AfricanMigrantWomen) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

On the margins of the EU, African women migrants can be important transmitters of social cultural practices.  But in certain societies of immigration (France, Spain) these women, because of the ageing factor can be victims of some kind of discrimination.  Often their husbands can replace them for new co-spouses.  This situation creates tensions and that is, for the women, all the more constraining and painful when the women carry on a productive and reproductive activity.  this proposal, through a specific anthropological demography methodology, wants to bring into question meaningful motions of ethnicity, transnationalisation, gender and the changing context in relation to aesthetic and body concepts of African women in the settlement countries mainly in Spain and France (Europe) and in Senegal and Gambia (Africa).

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Utilizing evolutionary interactions to limit multidrug resistance' (LimitMDR) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Drug resistance is limiting our ability to treat most infectious diseases and forms of cancer. Indeed this relentless evolution is the major driver of treatment failure for diseases that are responsible for over half of the global disease related mortality. Yet, the underlying principles that guide this evolutionary response are poorly understood, in particular with regards to understanding the impact of multidrug treatment.  LimitMDR will characterize evolutionary trajectories leading to multidrug resistance in response to individual and combination drug treatment through the execution of large-scale adaptive evolution experiment with two bacterial pathogens followed by genome sequencing and phenotyping. This effort will enable testing of contrasting hypotheses regarding the evolution of multidrug resistance in response to combination treatment.   We will characterize the cause-and-effect of resistance and sensitivity mutations identified in our global data set and map comprehensive fitness landscapes of mutations accumulated during drug resistance evolution to understand the evolutionary dynamics underlying resistance evolution. To accomplish these bold goals we shall develop novel multiplexed methodologies enabling unprecedented scale of construction and phenotypic testing of identified mutations. While genetic epistasis is considered of key importance to resistance evolution most studies focus on mutations within an individual gene. Through the development of a novel experimental approach we shall elucidate complex epistatic interaction networks between mutations accumulated during resistance evolution. Finally, we will conduct mechanistic studies to uncover the mechanisms of collateral sensitivity. These studies will shed light on this underappreciated phenomenon,

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Engineering voice-based models and interfaces for enhancing the speech therapy of minimally-verbal children with autism and their communication' (COMUTTI) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

About 30% of children with autism are minimally verbal (MV), meaning they can communicate mainly through nonverbal vocalizations (i.e., vocalizations that do not have typical verbal content). Vocalizations often have self-consistent phonetic content and vary in tone, pitch, and duration depending on the individual's emotional state or intended communication. While vocalizations contain important affective and communicative information and are comprehensible by close caregivers, they are often poorly understood by those who do not know the communicator well. An improved understanding of nonverbal vocalizations could pave the way for a better understanding of the cognitive, social, and emotional mechanisms associated with MV children with autism. Moreover, it could lead to new therapeutic interventions for these subjects based on advanced voice-based technology for Augmented Alternative Communication (AAC), i.e., for communicating without using words.This MSCA touches on the research fields of audio signal processing (in particular, children's vocalizations perception) and human-computer interaction (in particular, voice-based interfaces for speech therapy). It aims to advance the understanding of MV autistic children's vocalizations and exploit the obtained knowledge to create advanced voice-based interfaces to enhance their therapeutic interventions. During the outgoing phase at MIT, the work will be about identifying and implementing machine learning algorithms for classifying children's vocalizations. The core strategy is to leverage the unique knowledge provided by caregivers who have long-term acquaintance with MV children with autism and can recognize the meaning of their vocalizations. In the return phase at POLIMI, the project will be about designing, developing,

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Intervertebral disc degeneration : interplay of ageing, environmental and genetic factors (EURODISC)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Intervertebral disc degeneration is strongly associated with back pain, sciatica and other spinal disorders including spinal stenos is, a major cause of pain and disability in the elderly. These crippling disorders affect a large proportion of the population and around ten percent of cases become chronically ill. The costs of these disorders are immense; estimated at 1.7% of GNP in the Netherlands. Degeneration arises from a complex interplay between ageing, genetic susceptibility and life-style factors. We will investigate relationships between changes in the mechanical environment, cellular activity and tissue breakdown in relation to degeneration-associated polymorphisms and examine the relationship between genetics and environment in a classic twin study.

user: Explain how 'Understanding and embracing artificial agents’ impact on the social dynamics of families' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

How we trust, feel, understand, and connect with family members shapes the well-being of all family members. With families increasingly inviting artificial agents into their life, questions arise how we can describe these dynamics in the age of artificial intelligence. Integrating insights and methods from family psychology, social neuroscience, and human-ai interaction, F-AI-MILY will 1) establish a new group-centred mobile-lab approach to study the neurocognition of family social dynamics, 2) describe the developmental aspects of changes in households’ social dynamic during long-term interactions with artificial agents, and 3) identify how sustainable interactions with artificial agents can provide support in households with chronic illness. First, we will develop a new group-centred mobile lab to study how the key mechanisms of social dynamics, similarity and distance between family members, are impacted by interactions with artificial agents. Using this innovative neurocognition-at-home approach we will measure both behavioural and brain measures of key attitudes and behaviours of all family members and uncover social dynamics with unprecedented detail and clarity. Second, we will test how child development interacts with the impact of artificial agents on social dynamics. Going beyond one-off interactions, we will directly test how long-term living with an artificial agent affects families with children (4-12 years) that differ in their flexibility to the influence of these agent. Third, we will use the neurocognition-at-home approach to guide the development of artificial agents to support vulnerable households. This artificial agent support system targets family coping with chronic illness and aims to change maladaptive to adaptive social dynamics. The innovative

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Maintenance of quality of gerbera cut flowers - study of postharvest behaviour in relation to ethylene and to the use of natural plant extracts as preservative solutions' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Gerbera jamesonii hybrida is one of the most common cut flower all over the world and in Europe, Netherlands is the leader covering about 45% of the total market In Italy the production of gerbera represents the 6% of the total flowers production following carnations, roses and chrisanthemum, localized especially in Campania, Toscana and Lazio. The market for this flowel is growing that's why the trend of the production is rising. The gerbera production in Greece is located mainly in Crete island and this situation gives problems in term of distribution, quality maintenance and shipping costs. Speaking of distribution of gerbera the major problem is represented by the curvature of thec stem or scape. This curvature commercially known as stem break" is very frequent above all during long time shipping and in dry pack. Gerbera with stem break cannot be sold and even thec stem break occurs few days after sale, it is not a good promotion for the sellers. Several studies have been conducted to know the cause of this disorder and the main cause has been attributed to occlusion of xylematic vessels due to bacteria (Van Meteren, 1978). The objective of this research will be the study of the biochemical mechanism of stem break in relation to ethylene evolution and of the influence of cultivation system on ethylene production and stem break. In parallel we'll test preservative solution to control ethylene as pulsing treatment before shipping, by using natural compounds environmentally and human safe such as basil extracts or other essential oils from spontaneous plants in Crete Island. First of all, we will analyze the ethylene production of gerbera varieties and we will follow the stem break during the vase maintenance in water bacteria-free. We'll run a regression study between

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Design and testing of a cost effective variable speed drive train by smooth torque control' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Objectives The objective is to design, build and test a windturbine with 20% price/energy production ratio improvement, compared with the standard 'state of the art turbine. This will be proven by operation of both turbine types in identical circumstances. The NedWind 30 Series turbine at ECN in Petten (operating since May 1995, CIWI certified in December 1995) will be used as reference. The latter is a stall regulated turbine with Active Stall Control and a very competitive price/energy production ratio. The project is mainly funded by the EC, the Dutch Government (NOVEM) and NedWind. Technical Approach Basically rotor and E-system had to be replaced. Restrictive parameters are: rotor tilt moment; tilt moment on nacelle bedplate; tower clearance; gearbox loads; envelope (generator); economics. Standard RL41 and optimized blade design analysed. Various designs for flapping and teeter hinges. Hydraulic and electric/mechanical actuators studied for pitching. High ratio to reduce torque on high speed stages. Rated high speed shaft rotational speed: 2500 rpm. Power increase up to 400 kW considered realistic for gearbox when extreme torque peaks equal those in earlier turbine. Torque and rotational speed controllable. Constant lambda control (by controlling converter current) if there is no restriction for noise emission and windspeeds below rated. Blade pitch controlled rotor speed above rated windspeed. Safety system differs (fully redundant aero- and mechanical brake torque not allowed to increase). Independent blade pitch control. For teeter rotor loads and tower clearance appeared manageable; asymmetric pitching cause too high tilt moments in flap-hinge options. Expected Achievements and Exploitation Concept design review was in April 1996. System engineering will start

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Biofilm formation in the uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain CFT073: identification of cryptic adhesion factors'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The bacterium Escherichia coli is one of the best-studied free-living organisms. However, extensive genotypic differences exist between E. coli species, likely due to differences in lifestyle, some strains being harmless commensals whereas others are serious human pathogens.Completed genome sequences of different E. coli strains have revealed that a high percentage of these genes still have unassigned or poorly characterized function. Current hypotheses consider that this could be partly due to the fact that most of the studies with E. coli have been performed under physiological conditions where these genes are not functional. The intracellular biofilm communities formed by uropathogenic E. coli strains allow bacteria to subvert host defences and constitute a persistent reservoir of infection.The aim of this project is to identify factors involved in biofilm formation of the uropathogenic E. coli strain and quot;CFT073 that are usually cryptic under laboratory conditions, using two alternative strategies:- a random conditional over-expression combined with a biofilm positive selection and- a reverse genetic analysis of uncharacterized potential functional homologues of known adhesins.These approaches may reveal new biofilm functions leading to a better understanding of the bacterial biology within biofilms.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Roll Talon: Innovation bridging high and low prosthetic technology.' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The physically disabled population is increasing as a result of population growth, aging, chronic conditions, malnutrition, war, land mines, violence, road traffic, domestic and occupational injuries. The 'Shape&Roll Talon' project addresses a number of issues relating to the needs of persons with functional mobility problems relating to lower limb amputation.The concept for the project is that it is feasible to create simple, elegant and functional designs of artificial feet that are accessible in terms of manufacturing capability for any member state. This opens up the possibility of appropriate prosthetic provision for persons with disability attending rehabilitation services within new and emerging member states. By bringing together prosthetists, engineers, technical staff and persons with lower limb amputation in creating and evaluating the Shape&Roll Talon the project will deliver an innovative and yet elegantly simple design of an artificial foot.The project is expected to achieve an enhanced unique design of the existing Shape&Roll prosthetic foot, namely the Shape&Roll Talon that would enable persons with amputation of the lower limb to use an affordable artificial limb safely, whilst being able to choose to wear their own shoes of differing heel heights. The Shape&Roll foot has not previously been available for use with shoes of different heel heights. The project itself will have a design phase followed by development of a simple manufacturing technique intended to be repeated with minimal capital investment.The Shape&Roll Talon design will then be mechanically tested before being field-tested. The project will help to augment the successful reintegration of an expert researcher into Europe from the United States of America in the field of rehabilitation tec
