user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Electrochemical promotion of environmental catalysis' (EPOCENVIR) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This Incoming International Fellowships (IIF) proposal aims at the development of innovative multifunctional catalytic systems in the fields of environmental catalysis and air pollution abatement processes. These systems will take advantage of the practical use of a recently-discovered phenomenon, the Electrochemical Promotion of Catalysis (EPOC).When using EPOC, applying very small electric currents or potentials to a catalyst-support structure may allow an increase of catalytic reaction rate by some orders of magnitude. Such a technique allows to reversibly change catalytic activity and/or selectivity by modifying electronic properties of the catalyst surface. Moreover, it is now granted that EPOC may allow a better understanding of classical" catalytic phenomena, such as strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) and then EPOC has the potential to help for the design of improved catalysts used in the near future.The objectives are to obtain more powerful catalysts at a lower cost, more particularly b y lowering the amounts of precious metals such as Pt, Pd and Ir, which are very expensive and hard to recycle. Promoted catalysts are also able to work at lower temperatures and then to cut off in energy expenses. The Chinese researcher proposed for this I IF Action is a young (28 yrs) promising fellow with a strong background in catalysis, much experimental skill and a very good scientific production if we consider is young career.He fits very well to the scientific project. Moreover, the likelihood that this Action allows him to gain a formal position when back in China is high. This Action will also be a springboard for a new collaboration between Dalian University and the host laboratory."

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Re-thinking Psychological Acculturation: From Explicit to Implicit Cultural Affiliations' (PsychAcc) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The topic of psychological acculturation  i.e., changes in psychological and behavioural patterns due to sustained contact with another culture  is both timely and relevant: 29 pct. of European citizens are ethnic minorities and integration is omnipresent in debates on inequality and societal tension. Yet, our scientific understanding of this process is still poor. The current approach to acculturation narrowly focuses on ethnic minorities explicit willingness to (not) be part of a culture, as reflected in their cultural attitudes and identities. PsychAcc pushes boundaries by proving the existence of acculturation in self-construal, cognition, and motivation, building on the notion that peoples ways of being, thinking and drivers for action signal cultural affiliations implicitly. From there, PsychAcc elucidates the complex interplay between acculturative changes in explicit and implicit cultural affiliations and identifies people with distinct acculturative profiles, which are then used to predict well-being and educational outcomes. Finally, PsychAcc opens the black box of acculturation by showing that these changes are driven by specific micro-processes in majority-minority interactions, like establishing common ground. It builds its evidence through four studies a cross-cultural, a 2 year representative longitudinal, an experimental and an observational one   all focusing on ethnic minority and majority youth (14-18y) in Belgium. Together, the envisioned results re-think psychological acculturation: no longer as minorities willingness vis--vis cultures, but as a multi-faceted process of change that emerges from meaningful intercultural interactions. In sum, PsychAcc offers a novel theory, a beyond-state-of-the-art methodological toolbox and pivotal evidence to trigg

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Fostering rights and agency with girls and women with disability from culturally minoritised groups'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Society is still far from fully achieving the rights of people with disabilities, especially girls and women from culturally minoritised groups. Analysing inequality from an intersectional perspective allows us to highlight how disadvantage derives from an interweaving of conditions that, taken in isolation, fail to capture the serious discriminatory effects that result from their intersection.FRIDA's objective is to design actions that promote the agency of girls and women with disabilities from culturally minoritised groups in the educational, work and family spheres, based on a legislative mapping of progress in the fundamental rights of these people in each country. The consortium comprises 10 academic entities (4 from Latin America and one from Africa) and 5 non-academic entities from 11 countries. From an interdisciplinary perspective, it aims to define priorities that reflect the demands of girls and women with disabilities from culturally minoritised groups, as well as the barriers and levers in educational, employment and socio-family services through an inclusive research methodology to advance in the design of innovative and inclusive proposals, promoting the democratisation of research processes and the exchange of good inclusive practices.The main results of the project will be the elaboration of an International comparative report on the rights of girls and women from an interseccional perspective, a Toolkit for practitioners to promoting the agency for these girls and women in the educational, work and family spheres and the creation of an interactive online platform to make visible or denounce oppressive situations and to share and respond to the priorities expressed by these girls and women. It also includes recommendations for policy-makers and researc

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Eco Design: Composite functionalization: thermal and electrical conductivity' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim is to reduce weight of metallic parts but keeping conductivity properties. Potential application is a valveactuator body for which EMI protection and bonding is required. Additionally it will be explored various manufacturing process with thermoplastic composites reinforced with short or long fibres. Nevertheless these solutions cannot be simply achieved by a direct paradigm change from aluminium alloy towards thermoplastic composite (black metal approach). They actually require some innovative concepts in terms of material formulation and functionalitation strategy in order to meet both electrical conductivity and EMI protection requirements.The innovative solution proposed by the ECOFUNEL consortium is focused onto the use of conductive electrically thermoplastic-based composite materials as an alternative solution to metallic materials keeping constant the final conductivity properties of the actuator body. The thermoplastic-based composite materials provide some major advantages as compared with thermoset-based composite materials: a wide range of functionalization, a high production rate and recyclability. Some high performance thermoplastic resins will be used in order to ensure high mechanical properties and strong chemical resistance versus aeronautic fluids or other aggressive chemical products. To improve mechanical properties, some chopped or continuous carbon fibres will be used according to the technical solutions proposed and the processing methods related to.The technical solutions developed by the ECOFUNEL consortium will provide:- high mechanical properties thanks to both carbon fibres (short or continuous) and high performance thermoplastic resin,- high level of electrical conductivity thanks to both carbon fibres (short or continuous) and carb

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Space-based maritime navigation'.

assistant: **Innovation**

SpaceNav presents an entirely new concept of combining space-based remote sensing observations with local maritime ship observations to aid maritime sail planning for fuel, emission and fatigue optimization. High fuel costs, consequences of delays in ship passages, reduction of SO2/CO2/NOx and similar emissions and other constraints are now putting more pressure on the maritime industry. Thus utilizing sea state, sea ice and AIS observations from space-based remote sensing allows the sea masters and planners to integrate more accurate and reliable observations to optimize their sail plan. This project is going to bring remote sensing observations into sail planning tools with the objective of very significantly improve sail plan accuracy and reliability.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Enterovirus infections as a risk factor for type 1 diabetes' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Type 1 diabetes is a common chronic disease mainly arising in children and young people. In Europe, its incidence is high and steadily increasing. The disease is caused by the destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Many studies have suggested that enterovirus infections can induce this process. Recently, substantial new evidence has been obtained further supporting their role. This study aims to confirm the link between enterovirus infections and Type 1diabetes in five EU countries and characterize the molecular determinants, which make these viruses diabetogenic. The final goal is to find out if Type 1 diabetes can be prevented by an enterovirus vaccine and provide information needed for the development of such vaccines.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'SmartNiBP: Non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring during surgery' (SmartNiBP) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

A large number of surgeries, over 50 million per year worldwide, from Caesarean section to hip replacements, require continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Until today, no non-invasive method exists that is suitable for clinical practice, thus making monitoring this vital sign unnecessarily painful, risky, time-consuming, and expensive. The majority of patients (80%) do not receive continuous BP monitoring. This lack of control increases the peri- and postoperative risk for these patients significantly. ImPress MedTech GmbH is a medical technologies company whose aim is to implement simple-to-use, non-invasive, continuous BP measurement as a new clinical standard. With the SmartNiBP project, ImPress MedTech aims to fully develop and commercialize a proprietary medical device that uses innovative technology based on impedance cardiography to provide continuous non-invasive BP measurement. The technology is inexpensive, robust, and uses a clinically well-known setup. SmartNiBP ties easily into existing multi-parameter monitoring equipment and requires no extra training. SmartNiBP will be commercialized in 3 years as a SmartNiBP monitor unit and SmartNiBP disposable electrodes, with an expected ROI of 7.68. With SmartNiBP’s disruptive technology for BP measuring, patients will be spared pain and the risk of complications.Conceived as a medical device, our stand-alone soft&hardware solution is able to reliably support the surgeon throughout the arduous decision-making routine incurred in surgeries and any operational procedures where continuous BP measurement is needed. The result will be a large improvement in patient outcomes and a reduction in healthcare costs. SmartNiBP we will first designed for hospital settings, but it could be equally quickly adapted to other cl

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'IAGOS for the GMES Atmospheric Service' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

IAGOS (In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System), one of the European Research Infrastructures (ERI) on the ESFRI roadmap and currently in its preparatory phase, is establishing a distributed infrastructure for long-term observations of atmospheric composition on a global scale from a fleet of initially 10-20 long-range in-service aircraft of internationally operating airlines. IAGOS will provide accurate, spatially highly resolved in-situ observations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and reactive gases, as well as aerosol and cloud particles, in fact covering the essential climate variables (ECVs) for atmospheric composition as designated by the GCOS programme (Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in Support of the UNFCCC, 2010). With the CARIBIC container, operated aboard an in-service aircraft on a four flights per month basis as part of IAGOS, a much larger number of parameters are routinely available.  This project aims to make these valuable in-situ measurements available to the GMES Atmospheric Service in both near-real-time (for the IAGOS measurements) and delayed mode (for CARIBIC measurements).  The interface between GMES and the IAGOS and CARIBIC communities is established in work package two, which also includes work on the development of database and graphical tools to make the data availalbe for the broader scientific community as well. The near-real-time provision of data requires the installation of Real Time Transmissin Units (RTTUs) on the in-service aircraft, which is carried out in work package three. Work package four focuses on the harmonization and systematic evaluation of the data quality collected on board the aircraft, and work package five supports the development of four new instruments designed to measure atmosp

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'THz Photochemistry: Biased Proton Transfer by Ultrafast Electric Fields' (2014-2020) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Ultraviolet or visible light induces chemical transformations via electronic excitation. Infrared radiation, corresponding to low-frequency molecular vibrations, can also bring about photochemical reactions by multi-photon absorption. Then, how low photon energies can we reach in photochemistry? In this proposed research, I will realize a novel concept of terahertz photochemistry: activating chemical reactions with intense terahertz (THz) light of extremely low photon energy (1 THz = 4.1 meV). Based on this novel approach, I will study aqueous proton transfer in external electric fields, the process underlying key bioenergetic phenomena  as well as renewable energy technologies. Despite its obvious relevance, it has remained elusive how E-fields affect the known proton transfer mechanism in aqueous systems. Ultrashort THz pulses, on the one hand, will allow monitoring the THz photochemical proton transfer reactions in real time on the femtosecond time scale. On the other hand, THz light pulses will also serve as external E-fields, which bias the proton transfer reactions. Due to recent technological development, sub-picosecond strong field THz pulses on the order of hundreds of kV/cm with near single-cycle duration can be generated in the host laboratory, and the short pulses allow for ultrafast time resolution of ca 300 fs. Systematic studies varying field strengths and solvents will provide important insights into the local and external E-field effects on the proton transfer and the non-equilibrium solvation dynamics. The possibility of THz control over proton transport processes will also be examined by applying THz pulses at different delay time after photo-initiation.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Environmental Control of Development'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Plant development is highly plastic, with major variations in form determined by the environment. An excellent example is shoot branching, where the body plan of the shoot system conferred by one genotype can range from a single unbranched stem, to a highly ramified bush, depending on the growth conditions. In recent years we have investigated the hormonal network that allows environmentally sensitive changes in shoot branching in Arabidopsis. Through the analysis of a set of monogenic mutants with clear effects on both the number of shoot branches produced and on its responsiveness to environmental inputs, we have developed a model for shoot branching control involving interactions between three systemically transported plant hormones. In collaboration with Prusinkiewicz (Calgary), we have built a computational implementation of this model, which captures the phenotypes of wild-type plants and, through the manipulation of single biologically plausible model parameters, our mutant phenotypes. While there is still much to learn about individual network components, the mechanistic framework we have established is sufficiently well developed to allow network-level investigation. We therefore propose an ambitious project to use natural allelic variation in shoot branching and its environmental sensitivity as in vivo differently parameterized versions of the shoot branching regulatory network, which can be compared with parameter space exploration in our computational model. By investigating the properties of shoot branching in diverse genotypes and in the computational model parameter space, we will identify trait correlations that will contribute to understanding the architecture of the regulatory network. This approach will simultaneously test the validity of our current

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Homeostatic balancing of excitation and inhibition in vivo'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Balanced excitation and inhibition is a fundamental principle of neural circuit function, and perturbed excitation/inhibition (E/I) balance has been linked to diseases such as epilepsy, autism and schizophrenia. Maintaining E/I balance within normal bounds depends in part on homeostatic plasticity, in which neurons compensate for deviations in activity levels by adjusting their responsiveness to excitation and inhibition. Yet despite recent progress in elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying homeostatic plasticity in reduced preparations, little is known about such mechanisms in the intact brain.I propose to address this gap using a simple and genetically tractable neural circuit that I recently characterized. In Drosophila, Kenyon cells (KCs), the neurons underlying olfactory associative memory, receive excitation from projection neurons (PNs) as well as feedback inhibition from a single identified neuron (‘APL’). The balance between these two forces maintains sparse odour coding in KCs, which enhances the odour-specificity of associative memory by reducing overlap between odour representations. Preliminary evidence indicates that KCs adapt to prolonged disruption of E/I balance, providing a ground-breaking opportunity to use the powerful genetic tools of Drosophila to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying homeostatic balancing of excitation and inhibition in vivo in a defined circuit that mediates a sophisticated behaviour.Specific aims:1. Characterize homeostatic plasticity in the PN-KC-APL circuit.2. Identify genes up- and down-regulated in response to perturbations of E/I balance.3. Determine role of candidate genes and cellular mechanisms in homeostatic plasticity. Establishing the PN-KC-APL circuit as a novel model system for homeostatic plasticity will
