user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Deciphering the eccDNA inheritance with novel plant eccDNA genetic tools' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Enhancing plants natural innate and immune systems for the generation of primed plants that will better withstand stressors, can be an effective way to reduce losses in crop production. These systems are broadly defined under the plant transgenerational inheritance (TI) of stress memory, which is based on the heritability of attained traits caused by environmental conditions. I propose a new player in plant TI: the extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA). EccDNA is recognized as a major source of genetic variation behind key adaptive traits. I hypothesize that stress-responsive eccDNAs in the soma of a plant can be considered as adaptive toolkits, that can be transferred to the gametes during meiosis, and thus to the progeny. Thus, I have developed an ambitious but feasible plan, to bridge two major gaps in this context: (1) We require innovative technologies to prove causation, so I will develop the first and novel genetic toolbox to study eccDNAs in plants, by targeted circularization driven by the novel CRISPR-C system; (2) We lack knowledge about how eccDNAs are inherited, so I will characterize the transmission of eccDNAs from the soma to the gametophyte in Arabidopsis, through genome-scale (Circle-seq) and cytological analysis (FISH). CirclePLANT offers a unique opportunity for the development of a new line of research, with potentially remarkable impact because it will explore the bases for eccDNA-based technologies that may be useful in crop breeding, ultimately leading to the generation of stable climate-smart crops, which fits with the environmental objectives of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of improving crop yields by applying low-input agricultural practices.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Assessing Causal Relationships of Oscillatory Neural Activity Mediating Speech' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Neural oscillations, rhythmic fluctuations in the excitability of neuronal populations, align their phase to the rhythm of speech and this mechanism, called phase entrainment, has been associated with successful perception of connected speech. However, a causal role of phase entrainment for speech comprehension has not yet been shown which leaves the underlying mechanisms unclear, and fails to specify the relevance of neural oscillations for hearing or language impaired individuals. In the proposed research, we will use a novel brain stimulation technique, transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to selectively alter neural oscillations. By manipulating neural phase entrainment to speech with tACS we can, for the first time, provide decisive evidence concerning whether phase entrainment and speech comprehension are causally linked: If a modulation of phase entrainment leads to changes in speech perception and comprehension we can conclude that the former causally influences the latter. In a preliminary experiment, combining tACS with functional magnetic imaging (fMRI), we will determine the optimal tACS electrode montage to modulate neural activity in speech-specific brain regions (in the superior temporal gyrus). Using this setup in a behavioural task, tACS can be applied at different phase-lags in relation to rhythmic speech sequences. Critically, we expect perception of these stimuli to depend on the phase relation between tACS and speech rhythm, as a consequence of the manipulation of phase entrainment by tACS. Our study will thus provide important and novel evidence for a causal role of phase entrainment for speech perception and comprehension. In turn this might suggest new methods for enhancing speech perception in populations with hearing or language

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Close Up: Your ID is Your Face' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the age of artificial intelligence, identifying anyone in public space through facial recognition is becoming faster and easier. However, the technologies are not without flaws. Recent studies have shown that the technologies are prone to gender and skin-colour biases, and not highly accurate. Despite their imperfections, governments around the world deploy the technologies at a breakneck pace. Strong criticisms have been heard over the lack of appropriate legal frameworks to regulate technologies that can negatively impact civil liberties and personal freedoms. Since a few years, concerns have further grown concerning their use in China where they are deployed to support a social credit system to rate citizens’ behaviour. Facial recognition technologies can potentially be very pervasive surveillance tools. The proposed research will identify the threats and risks that the use of facial recognition for surveillance purposes poses to the rights to privacy and data protection as defined at EU level. The objective is to define the legitimate and proportionate uses of the technologies based on country trends (France, UK, USA, and China), their technical characteristics, and the legal frameworks applicable to the rights to privacy and data protection.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Disruptive design innovation for safe and lower cost implementation of the alternative to the ozone-depleting gases in the heat pump heating and cooling systems' (PropSafe).

assistant: **Innovation**

Heat pumps are most energy efficient and least polluting systems for heating, cooling and drying. However, HFC gases used in heat pumps contribute to global warming by trapping heat radiating off the Earth. Global negotiations to eliminate them have concluded only in October 2016 in Kigali. 150 nations agreed to stop selling new HFC based equipment from 2019. Global challenge is to find a suitable replacement for HFC by 2019. R290 is most suitable replacement gas for home and light commercial use as it can be used in the existing, most common, R22 mechanical equipment. However, being flammable at 470C it requires spark-proof electrical components that increase costs by about 30%. Alfa Klima has innovated the design of R290 heat pump systems (PropSafe) so that they do not require spark-proof components. Offering safer alternative at 30% lower cost is a significant added value and it gives Alfa Klima design a first mover advantage in both new installations and R22 replacement. Alfa Klima has been manufacturing heat pump based systems for heating, cooling and drying for the past 20 years. Alfa Klima team has an outstanding engineering and commercial experience and a proven track record in successfully commercializing innovations in the HVAC field.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Spectres & Camouflage: The Sound of Silence (1938-1970)' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Silence is a rare - often beautiful, sometimes discomfiting - phenomenon. Harnessed in different manners, silence has multiple cultural, societal, scientific, psychological, artistic and military implications. In the 20th C., the impact and exploitation of silence manifested in the technological search for the soundless environment: a search which centred upon environmental control and design. It was shaped by disciplinary and international transfers of knowledge. Ultimately, the technology became known as anechoic (free from echo). However, despite touching on numerous disciplines, and its relevance to a complex interplay of global knowledge-transfer, conflict and culture, very little is known of the architectural, military, and cultural history underpinning the development of this technology. SPECTRES-CAMOUFLAGE examines the catalysts and implications inherent in that technological search, exploring its impact on design and experimentation, military strategy and cultural production. It will explore how the developmental interplay that supported a culturally iconic medium also positioned it at the vanguard of technology and inserted it into global politics and conflict in the 20th C. The timeframe of the project extends from the eve of WWII to 1970. This project will draw together this intricate history, take account of transfers of knowledge and establish the resultant transformations of knowledge. It will integrate the histories of architecture, music, technology and war studies examining how developments in each propelled one another forward. The project?s multidisciplinary strands drawn together will constitute a new prism for learning more about technology transfer across the globe and across disciplines. At its core, this research could reposition the role of tec

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Improved microcontact technology for power electronics' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Electrical, thermal and mechanical contacts are the weak links in electronic components and assemblies, especially in power electronics with high power dissipation and chip temperatures. The present contact technologies are reaching their limits of applicability: The lifetimes of soft soldered die bonds and electrical contacts by Al large wire bonds are limited by materials degradation due to thermo-mechanical stress/fatigue. The new improved microcontact technology which has been basically developed in the running Brite/EuRam project Improved Microcontact Technology (IMMICO, BE-8225)" is offering the opportunity of a more effective microcontact technology. It is based on the low-temperature solidification of intermetallic phases which form heatresistant contacts. The main objective of the proposed project is to transfer the achievements of the running Brite/EuRam project to SMEs. The IMMICO-process forms a small gap intermetallic bonding layer in a metallurgical system consisting of a high melting metal (e.g. Cu) contact metallisation and a low melting metal (e.g. Sn). Because of the total transformation into intermetallic phase the working temperature of the bond is several hundred degree Celsius higher than the process temperature. "

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'FLUctuations in quantum ThErmal machines with unconventional resources - Correlations and topological effects' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Classical thermodynamics is a long-standing successful theory using macroscopic average quantities like pressure, volume, and temperature to describe the behaviour of everyday thermal machines. In nanophysics, it is often the case that fluctuations can become dominant over average quantities, which are therefore no longer sufficient for an accurate description of nanoscale and quantum systems. Advances in nanoelectronics have allowed researchers to engineer devices that can turn fluctuations from a nuisance into a resource to power nanoscale quantum machines. However, many questions on these fluctuation harvesting mechanisms are still open. With the theoretical project FLUTE, I will address these questions by investigating the impact of fluctuations on the performance of quantum thermal machines in nano-electronic conductors powered by unconventional resources and exhibiting topological properties. Specifically, I will consider nonthermal resources and exotic quasiparticles, called anyons, hosted in two-dimensional conductors. FLUTE seeks to generate a deeper understanding and provide novel insights on how the efficient harvesting of fluctuations at the nanoscale can be achieved. Crucially, it will bring together in a novel way the physics of anyons found in condensed matter systems with a thermodynamical analysis aimed at exploiting them as fuel for useful machines. This interdisciplinary project will combine techniques from quantum transport and strongly correlated systems, on which I am an expert, to stochastic thermodynamics and open quantum systems, on which I will receive further specific training at the host institution. FLUTE will unveil novel connections between different research fields in quantum physics. The outcomes of the project will be relevant for the d

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'RIGOROUS THEORY OF PREPROCESSING' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The main research goal of this project is the quest for  rigorous  mathematical theory explaining  the power and failure of  heuristics.  The incapability of current computational models to explain the success of  heuristic algorithms in practical computing is the subject of wide   discussion for more than four decades. Within this project we expect a significant breakthrough in the study of a large family of heuristics: Preprocessing (data reduction or kernelization). Preprocessing  is a reduction of  the problem to a simpler one and this is the type of algorithms  used in almost every application.As key to novel and groundbreaking results,  the proposed project aims to develop  new theory of polynomial time compressibility.    Understanding the origin of compressibility   will serve to  build more powerful  heuristic algorithms, as well as to explain the behaviour of preprocessing.The  ubiquity of preprocessing  makes the theory of compressibility  extremely important.The new theory  will  be able to transfer the ideas of efficient computation beyond the established borders.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Design & Engineering of Photosynthetic Communities for Industrial Cultivation' (2007-2013) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The generation of young biotechnologists is of paramount importance for Europe´s future. PHOTO.COMM will train primarily early stage researchers who have demonstrated high ambitions and talents in a unique platform based on emerging technology and science that would shape the forefront of future European biotechnology. PHOTO.COMM involves the utilization of microalgae for the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into chemicals and fuels, to directly replace finite fossil fuels and products. Although this is a rapidly growing industry, true societal impact cannot be expected until larger-scale production of low value end-products becomes a commercial reality. PHOTO.COMM has the primary objective of generating the next-generation scientists that will make a substantial and potentially game-changing contribution towards this global challenge. The young researchers will be trained in multidisciplinary science and innovation-based business creation to foster a new approach to microalgae based production and the use of synthetic photobiological communities. The researchers will also strengthen the core of photobiological metabolism by innovative approaches to enhance photosynthesis and carbon-assimilation and deliver new approaches to create valuable end-products. PHOTO.COMM will provide an exciting environment where the young researchers will absorb and implement state-of-the-art analytical methods, intellectual property and business principles and obtain extensive training and practical experience in close collaboration between universities and companies. Altogether, the educated next-generation scientists and their technologies are expected to make a strong contribution towards a future Europe in which both economically and environmentally sustainable photosynthetic biot

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Study of the functional role of the distinct skin dendritic cell subsets in vivo' (2007-2013) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The skin is a fascinating tissue at the level of immune regulation. As barrier with the outside world, it is in constant contact with innocuous environmental antigens, but it is also the entrance site for pathogens. Dendritic cells (DCs) play an essential role in initiation and regulation of immune responses. Thus, skin DCs appear to mediate two seemingly incompatible functions: maintaining tolerance against harmless self and environmental antigens constantly present in the skin, while retaining the capacity to induce powerful immune responses to invading pathogens. However, the skin DC population consists of 4 distinct DC subsets. This IEF project is based on the hypothesis that the 4 distinct skin DC subsets possess different regulatory properties. We hypothesize that the different functional tasks performed by skin DCs are in fact mediated by distinct skin DC subsets and speculate that while a particular DC subset may preferentially induce tolerance through induction of regulatory T cells (TREG), other DC subsets may be more efficient for induction of TH1, TH2 or TH17 T cell effector responses to fight invading pathogens. Accordingly, this project proposes to combine state-of-the-art cellular and molecular techniques to unambiguously study the specific role of the 4 skin DC subsets in vivo. We will identify genes underlying the functional diversity of the DC subsets, and in parallel generate an innovative KI mouse model that will restrict the antigen-presenting capacity to one particular skin DC subset at a time, allowing us to unravel the specific role of the distinct skin DC subsets in the induction of TH1, TH2, TH17 and TREG responses in vivo. This study should lead to a better understanding of the functional differences between the distinct skin DC subsets and al

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Nanostructured gripping material for clamping complex workpieces' (TGRIP), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Complex high-value pieces are a growing field, particularly in high requirement sectors like the aeronautic, and especially in Europe, where 30-40% of worldwide manufacturing of these pieces is concentrated. Remarkable examples of these pieces are fuselage structures and complex pieces of the jet engines (large pieces with complex geometries, requiring (up today) several consecutive clamping-machining operations and several workholding fixtures). Actual clamping systems for these pieces (mechanical, electromagnetic and vacuum) are complex systems with some fixture-piece clamping elements which create the required union forces and are not fulfilling markets demands.FRESMAK, in collaboration with POLYMAT (University of Basque Country), has developed an alternative innovative clamping solution, called TGRIP, based on the principle of reversible adhesion. The developed adhesive is a nanostructured bi-phase material with different adherence phases that is controlled with the temperature.  Temperature governance allows to stick and unstick any kind of materials with a high clamping force and without compromising cutting areas.Main features of TGRIP that make it appropiate to respond to High Valued Complex Component clampling for machining needs that are not covered with existing solutions:• Adequate for complex high-value machining: High clamping force (1100N/cm2), Doesn’t damage neither deform pieces, Allows uniform adhesion distribution (Reduction of vibrations) Doesn’t compromise working areas, Works with any kind of material• Cost-effective technology (50%-70% cheaper than clamping alternatives): low technology, operation and maintence cost.• Environmentally friendly technology: Reusable and recyclable technology.
