user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Impact of metal pollution on freshwater ecosystems submitted to extreme climate events' (CLIMETAL) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Freshwaters simultaneously receive a high diversity of contaminants, metals being amongst the most toxic. The growing use of metals for energy transition (e.g. electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar panels) is exposing freshwater ecosystems to unknown threats. These also suffer from the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme climate events (i.e. droughts and floods), which may cause hydric stress, physical abrasion, lower dilution, or contaminant pulses. These overall influence metal bioavailability and expose the biota to unknown toxicological effects. CLIMETAL will address these challenges by exploring the fate of metals used in energy transition, including those with understudied toxicity (lithium, rare earth elements, etc.), as well as their separated and sequential biological effects under the hydrological alterations associated to droughts and floods. CLIMETAL will investigate the influence of these alterations on metal bioavailability, and the subsequent consequences for their bioaccumulation and ecotoxicological effects. Bioavailability of metals will be estimated by modelling their chemical speciation and by measuring their labile concentrations, giving rise to a collaboration with physical chemists (= secondment). Metal bioaccumulation as well as biological and functional effects on freshwater ecosystems will be assessed using primary producers (biofilms) and primary consumers (invertebrates). These two biological compartments are connected and provide a complementary response to the metal exposure under distinct hydrological alterations. The proposal adopts an interdisciplinary approach involving ecotoxicology, environmental chemistry, ecology and modelling and combines complementary methods from laboratory (microscosm, mesocosm) to fieldwork.

user: Explain how 'New approaches for materials and processes with low environmental impacts on the manufacturing of polycrystalline thin-film solar cells' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Project Objectives The major aims of this project are : development of new buffer layers alternative to those based on cadmium compounds, design and analysis of new preparation processes as alternative to the conventional chemical bath deposition methods which can provide more efficient raw material consumption and ease large-scale implementation, characterization of the thin-film properties of the buffer layers and assessment of their performance for photovoltaic solar cells, to develop and test a whole flow-sheet in order to demonstrate a recycling approach where all chemicals used in the CBD processes can be fully recovered, and undergo as proof-of-concept for any fabrication step of a polycrystalline-thin-film solar device. While having in mind practical applications, the goals will be concurrently addressed at aw-material consumption, environmental impact of the processes, and adaptation to industrial technologies. Technical Approach The lowering costs of thin-film solar cells, as factor of success of these technologies, is strongly associated to the environmental implications of their practical use and large-scale dissemination. Prevention of pollution in any production process requires to pay attention to several aspects such as, mainly: choice of inherently safer or environmentally more benign materials; process design; plant configuration; human resources; research and development. The project will consist of four work packages to be executed by an integrated consortium which brings together a recognized European PV-company and R&D centers having expertise in all relevant fields involved: laboratory preparation of photovoltaic thin film materials, waste treatments and recycling, process engineering, and industrial implementation. These work packages address the

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Towards optical communication on silicon chips'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Our vision is to integrate light-emitting devices, based on hexagonal silicon-germanium (Hex-SiGe), with existing Si electronics and passive Si-photonics circuitry. This establishes a silicon-compatible technology platform, with full opto-electronic functionality. Silicon dominates the electronics industry for more than half a century. However, silicon, germanium and SiGe-alloys are all indirect band gap semiconductors. Their inability to efficiently emit light has adversely shaped the semiconductor industry we know today. Accordingly, achieving efficient light emission from SiGe has been a holy grail in silicon technology for decades. Hexagonal crystal phase SiGe (Hex-SiGe) recently emerged as a new direct bandgap semiconductor with excellent light emission capabilities. Hex-SiGe will provide additional functionality like light generation (light emitting diode, laser), light amplification (semiconductor optical amplifier) and efficient light detection to silicon technology. This project will focus on:•The growth of device quality Hex-SiGe on silicon-on-insulator (SOI).   •Demonstration of opto-electronic functionality in Hex-SiGe, including a quantum well laser. This new technology promises strongly improved performance in computing and sensing, while simultaneously reducing cost by mass production in existing silicon foundries.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Obstacles to edi diffusion and role of service providers - a comparison between Italy and UK' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is seen as a technology with great potential to improve competitiveness. However, its diffusion has been slower than predicted, particularly in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study will address the strategic, structural, and technical barriers to EDI diffusion. A special attention will be paid to the 'competence shortage' of users that can limit EDI adoption. The role of telematic services providers in overcoming the obstacles to EDI diffusion will be also analysed. Due to the differences between Italy and the UK regarding the EDI diffusion patterns as well as the structure of the service sector, an international comparison is expected to provide lessons both for policy and for firm's strategy as to the further diffusion of EDI. An extensive case-study on various EDI projects, on one hand, and on the structure and strategy of the telematic service providers, on the other, will be conducted.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Spatial Cognition' (SpaceCog) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Humanoid robots will become important machines to support mankind if they develop similar capabilities as humans have. One of those capabilities is to orient in space and to extract the relevant information from its environment. A common approach has been to build a spatiotopic map of the external world, so called an internal world model. However, since the sensors, such as the eyes (cameras) are attached to the body an updating problem occurs: After any action the input changes and additional information about the position of the eyes or the posture or the position in the external world is required to map a new sensory input into an existing map of the world. As this position about sensors is not error free, internal world models are not always reliable.\nHowever, a large body of information suggests that humans do not maintain full maps of their external world. They are rather very sparse and evidence suggests that we extract the important information from the world just on time and only keep track of a few relevant aspects in a scene by means of attentive and memory processes. Humans rather know how to retrieve the necessary information rather than representing all information in an internal world model. Thus, we aim to explore how humans solve the necessary updating and by which mechanisms they keep track of important aspects and extract the relevant information from the environment. This will be done by a combination of experimental investigations and computational modelling and by the integration of the developed modules leading to a human-like neural model of spatial orientation and attention in the context of eye, head and body movements. The model will be demonstrated as neuroware" for a virtual human acting in a virtual reality."

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Regulation of Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm formation by c-di-GMP signaling'.

assistant: **Objectives**

In recent years, Acinetobacter baumannii has been recognized as a serious threat to human health due to its high rates of infection and resistance to various antibiotics. Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have announced A. baumannii as an urgent threat with a priority to find novel antimicrobials against it. Various diseases have been attributed to biofilms of A. baumannii, and since biofilms are inherently tolerant to antibiotics the treatment procedures are challenged. The nucleotide signaling molecule c-di-GMP has been shown to regulate biofilm formation in a variety of bacterial species. Previous studies have shown a role of c-di-GMP signaling in biofilm formation by A. baumannii, but the underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. Understanding the mechanisms of c-di-GMP signaling systems potentially contribute to identification of new drug targets. Therefore, this research proposal intends to obtain knowledge on how c-di-GMP signaling regulates key components involved in biofilm formation by A. baumannii through a multidisciplinary approach by employing biochemical, molecular and microbiological techniques. The project is in line with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) request and EU Action on antibacterial resistance. The proposed project will establish a research platform based on A. baumannii in the host institute. The candidate will gain knowledge about c-di-GMP signaling system and the methods needed to elucidate the function of proteins which are associated with specific microbial traits. The acquired techniques along with the transferable skills obtained during the implementation of this project will greatly increase the candidates competency to find a job in posi

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'BIOcontamination  Specific Modeling in HAbitats Related to Space' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

BIOSMHARS is the first phase of a Europe - Russia research effort aiming to develop the scientific and technical tools enabling to have a comprehensive approach of biocontamination inside manned spacecrafts, and to develop appropriate countermeasures. BIOSMHARS will develop and calibrate a mathematical model predicting the transportation of bioaerosols in a closed environment and the induced biocontamination. The model of biocontamination will be calibrated in the BIOS-3 facility in Krasnoyarsk as an analogue to the International Space Station. It will integrate parameters enabling it to be adapted to a real spacecraft. A first experiment will enable to calibrate the physical model and particles transportation. A second experiment will enable to correlate the real biocontamination induced by injecting calibrated bioaerosols of bacteria and fungi with the calculations of the model. BIOMHARS will also develop a scientific and technical roadmap to facilitate the links with other EU relevant initiatives and plan for further phases. The project is proposed by a consortium of European and Russian leading research institutions in space, modelling and microbiology. The consortium is coordinated by MEDES, Institute for Space physiology and medicine in France. It also includes VTT - Technical Research Centre of Finland, the University of Eastern Finland and the Belgium Centre for nuclear research as European partners. For Russia, it includes IBMP, the Institute of BioMedical Problems of Moscow and IBP, the Institute of BioPhysics of Krasnoyarsk. The project duration is of two years.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Polycomb/Trithorax: Functional EpiGenomics Integrators for Metabolic Disease' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The last decade has seen an explosion of research into the epigenetic regulation of cell biology. Indeed, great efforts have been made to elucidate epigenetic regulation in stem cell biology, development, and within the plastic states of cancer. Current estimates place the prevalence of obesity in the range of 300 million to beyond 1 billion by the year 2030. As a critical risk factor for heart disease, diabetes and stroke, obesity currently represents one of the world’s chief economic and health care challenges. While studies have established a genetic framework for our current understanding of obesity, the contribution of several critical regulatory layers, in particular epigenetic regulation, remains poorly understood.We recently performed the first genome-wide RNAi screen for obesity regulators in the adult fly. Intriguingly, developmental regulators scored among the most enriched pathways (Pospisilik, Cell 2010). Systematic interrogation of the 500 candidate obesity genes by tissue-specific knockdown has now identified the Polycomb-Trithorax system (PcG-Trx) as the most enriched obesity-altering pathway. Here, we propose to translate these findings to the mammalian context through completion of three aims: i. generation and characterization of 8 PcG conditional knockout mouse lines, ii. dissection of the functional roles of PcG in adipose tissue differentiation, function and disease, and iii. building of a functionally interrogated unbiased epigenetic map of the PcG-system for murine and human obesity. To achieve these goals we will combine targeted mouse genetics, complex phenotyping and state-of-the-art integrative bioinformatics.Using this unique functional-genetics-to-epigenomics approach we will provide an unprecedented functionally validated genomics resource

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Oxygenation by efficient air diffusion system for aquaculture farms (cages and earthen ponds)' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The AirX Research for SMEs project will develop a novel efficient air diffusion system for oxygenation in aquaculture farms. The target market are cage and earthen pond farmers (seabass and seabream) in Mediterranean, which periodically experience problems with reduced growth rate, increased feed conversion factor (FCR), stress and mortality of stock due to low oxygen content in the water (usually in summer/early autumn when biomass in the farms is normally high).Existing aeration devices are not suitable or too expensive to be used efficiently in ponds, whereas for cages there are no realistic options available. At critical periods with low oxygen levels, feeding is reduced and productivity of the industry is heavily influenced. Mortalities may appear accumulated stress may result in decreased appetite and thereby decreased growth, and decreased feed utilization.AirX will reduce cost of oxygenation by 75% from the current 0.25-0.64 EUR/kg O2 to 0.06-0.17 EUR. Using the AirX system to optimize the oxygen level will provide these benefits for the fish farmer: I)Higher growth rate of stock, II) Improvement of feed conversion rate (FCR), III) Higher production capacity at farm site, IV) Reduction of mortalities, especially during periods of high temperature/low oxygen concentration, V) Reduction of fish stress and generally improved fish welfare, VI) Improvement of the carrying capacity in terms of organic load that can be decomposed in the case of fish ponds, and reduced settling of waste beneath cages.The net value of extra biomass produced by using AirX is 254.000 EUR/year per farm site (presumed 20 cages/site and max 40 tonnes/cage). AirX investment cost for such site is estimated to 26.000 EUR/year.The AirX system will consist of a novel diffuser system, air compresso
