user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'European Dry Eye Network' (EDEN).

assistant: **Innovation**

EDEN is a platform for the training and career development of 10 early-stage researchers (ESRs) in Vision Sciences. It coordinates research and training collaboration among 4 leading academic institutions in Europe, providing for a new combination of in-depth expertise from different countries. Furthermore, to strengthen the contact with the industrial world, the network has the following partners: 1 large company of hospitals, 1 SME that provides advance ophthalmic devices for ocular examination and 2 large companies specialized in eye-care products. It emphasises experience-based training through cross-disciplinary research projects that will analyse the lacrimal functional unit with state-of-the-art technology and assess the structural and physiological changes occurring in Dry Eye Disease (DED) patients. This will spur the generation of newer metrics to better differentiate between normal and DED patients. Further benefits include improvements in DED diagnosis and monitoring, studies on the effect of various DED treatments, development of DED aetiology-specific treatments and exploration of the risk factors that favour development of the disease or intensify its symptoms.EDEN will offer to 10 ESRs: (1) state-of-the-art approaches and techniques essential to studying DED through research projects, courses, and scientific exchange within and beyond the network; (2) essential career management skills via courses and practical activities aimed to develop their organisational, management and networking skills; (3) an understanding of the impact of research results for the private sector and insight into the business world via interaction with the industrial partners; (4) new possibilities of career development via professional contacts in academia and industry.

user: Describe how 'Complexity, stability and chaos in marine model ecosystems for present day and global warming conditions' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The relationships between complexity, stability and chaos in ecosystem food webs are not clearly understood in the global marine environment. We propose to explore these connections using a global marine ecosystem model in which the level of species diversity is an emergent property. We will map globally indices of: phytoplankton diversity, food web connectance, complexity, stability, chaotic behaviour, and productivity. Complexity is the product of species diversity and food web connectance. Stability is the resilience of the system to to perturbations and can be evaluated as the dominant eigenvalue of the Jacobian matrix at steady-state. Connectance is the percentage of non-zero entries in the Jacobian matrix. Chaos will be evaluated by calculating the Lyapunov exponents for different values of a bifurcation parameter. All the analysis will be performed numerically in a pixel-by-pixel global ocean basis. We will evaluate the relationships of these indices to environmental variables like nutrients, temperature, solar radiation, and turbulence. We will also seek to elucidate the mechanistic basis of the relationships between ecological indices and the environment. The analyses will be performed both for present and global warming conditions. An important objective of the project will be to identify in which ocean regions the ecosystems are potentially more fragile or vulnerable to future global warming. The project will contribute to the objectives of the Work Programme by 1) allowing the fellow to gain new skills and additional training in theoretical ecology and global modelling; and to become an EU leading specialist in a research field with a lot of growth potential; 2) transferring the acquired knowledge to the EU; 3) establish a long-term collaboration between two

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Summer schools in ecology and biodiversity - understanding patterns and processes'.

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the project is to prepare and execute a coherent series of scientific trainings entitled Summer Schools in Ecology and Biodiversity - Understanding Patterns and Processes" (hereafter BIOSEB), which will be offered to European graduate and PhD students starting their scientific careers. The Schools will be organised by Mammal Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences (hereafter MRI PAS) that has a status of EU Centre of Excellence and will take the form of one-week courses (lectures, seminars, and hands-on practical training), performed in Bialowieza Primeval Forest, Poland, once per year in 2007-2010, each for 50 participants.The main objectives of BIOSEB is to provide state-of-the-art knowledge, expertise, and skills in forefront sub-disciplines of ecology, with a special emphasis on their multidisciplinary character, and to enable young researchers a direct interaction with the leading European and North American scientists representing cutting-edge research. The training will cover 10 interrelated topics, e.g conservation genetics, population and evolutionary ecology, biogeography and macroecology, physiological ecology, mathematical modelling, and communication in science.To achieve the programme coherence, each edition of BI OSEB will focus on the major umbrella issue, reflecting the most important problems of ecology and biodiversity. The proposed content and format of the Summer Schools is well practised and fully proven in the earlier, very successful events organized by MR I PAS in 2003-2005. Thus, the proposed project will greatly contribute to the education of a new generation of European scientists, and prepare them to tackle critical, environmental problems such as the global change and loss of biodiversity. Its execution will al

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Iron mineral dynamics in redox-affected soils and sediments: Pushing the frontier toward in-situ studies'.

assistant: **Innovation**

IRMIDYN will study the dynamics of redox-driven iron mineral transformation processes in soils and sediments and impacts on nutrient and trace element behavior using a novel approach based on enriched stable isotopes (e.g., 57Fe, 33S, 67Zn, 113Cd, 198Hg) in combination with innovative experiments and cutting-edge analytical techniques, most importantly 57Fe Mössbauer and Raman micro-spectroscopy and imaging. The thermodynamic stability and occurrence of iron minerals in sufficiently stable Earth surface environments is fairly well understood and supported by field observations. However, the kinetics of iron mineral recrystallization and transformation processes under rapidly changing redox conditions is far less understood, and has to date mostly been studied in in mixed reactors with pure minerals or sediment slurries, but rarely in-situ in complex soils and sediments. Thus, we do not know if and how fast certain iron mineral recrystallization and transformation processes observed in the laboratory actually occur in soils and sediments, and which environmental factors control the transformation rates and products. Redox-driven iron mineral recrystallization and transformation processes are key to understanding the biogeochemical cycles of C, N, P, S, and many trace elements (e.g., As, Zn, Cd, Hg, U). In face of current global challenges caused by massive anthropogenic changes in biogeochemical cycles of nutrients and toxic elements, it is paramount that we begin to understand and quantify the dynamics of these processes in-situ and learn how we can apply our mechanistic (but often reductionist) knowledge to the natural environment. This project will take a large step toward a better understanding of iron mineral dynamics in redox-affected Earth surface environments, wi

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Machining and Commercialising Diamond Anvil Cells' (MaCDAC).

assistant: **Concept**

The diamond anvil cell (DAC), a simple but versatile device, is the standard method of experimentally producing static high pressures. It consists of two movable parts containing opposing diamond ""anvils"" with a sample compressed between the polished culets (tips) and held by a metal gasket.  We are able to build DACs in the Mechanical Workshop at our institution. During the ERC-Hecate project we have developed many new innovations on making and using DACs.  Several groups around the world have expressed interest in using DACs made in Edinburgh.  The PoC grant will examine whether this presents a viable commercial opportunity.  We will manufacture demonstration DACs which can be trialled by our collaborators for acceptable cost, ease of use, reliability and performance.  Different designs are optimised for different purposes, and we need to know more about other groups' usage patterns. Feedback from this process, particularly of failure rates and modes, will enable us to refine and tailor the designs. We anticipate a worldwide growth in the use of high pressure science as it moves from the specialism of a handful of leading labs to a standard method of chemical analysis and materials synthesis.  The DACs required for such routine use may be different from those we use to reach the highest pressures with highly reactive materials.   Moreover, new experimental applications like high temperature, NMR and magnetic measurements may require additional innovations.  The PoC grant will allow us to assess this future market, both for size and specification.We have no experience of commercialisation and marketing, so another essential aspect will be to bring these skills into the Hecate research team.  We have identified China as the largest potential market where scientists  l

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Design and implementation of a multimedia- and telecommunication-based network for distributed services' (1998-2002).

assistant: **Innovation**

In the European mechanical engineering industry the product quality loses continuously in meaning as a competition instrument. In order to differentiate nevertheless from the international competition, customer-fair service products must be offered more and more apart from the high quality and the efficiency of the machines. Therefore especially small and medium-size machine dealers are required to offer wide service performance apart from the pure sales of machines, to set up long-term business relations, to guarantee the permanent availability of the necessary product knowledge and to offer services in the proximity of the customer (spatial, temporal and linguistic). In order to be able to offer these requests in line to the market, the objective of this project is the design and implementation of a trans-regional service network which shall enable the change from pure trading companies to trading and service companies by using innovative information and telecommunication technologies.In the Distributed Services project, a European-wide service network is to be structured for four machine trading companies from Sweden, Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands under participation of a mechanical engineering company and a consulting and system house. This network shall enable the change from pure trading companies to trading and service companies. The installation of telecommunications-based services, like tele-support, video-support and hotline-support is the centre of attention. These services will be based on scientific innovations, particularly within the telecommunication sector, which are developed further on in the context of this project for the described industry. The supply of service performance is to be furnished as far as possible, i.e. in the 1st and 2nd -lev

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'DISCURSIVITY. A PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY INTO LEGAL THEORY' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The notion of legal discourse is used in many studies as a tool or a frame meant to understand various European legal issues. Yet, the fragmentation and multiplicity of the researches (semiotics, philosophy of language, linguistics, and legal theory) hinders a more comprehensive approach to the subject. Indeed, the logic of legal discourse raises problems that have been addressed so far only in a superficial and piecemeal manner, either by philosophy of law or legal theory. There lacks a systematic and pluridisciplinary study of legal language, capable of integrating all the different relevant remarks into a more general frame.  This project is aimed precisely at giving a new, rigorous definition of legal discursivity. Its ambition and originality is to integrate various disciplines and authors of different national traditions in an interdisciplinary approach, in which philosophy plays a key role. Bringing together contemporary semiotics, linguistics and legal theory into a philosophical perspective, this research intends to help constitute a new frame of reflection for legal language and rationality. By excavating its philosophical basis, and unveiling its legal particularities, this investigation bestows the vague notion of legal discourse with the precise and operational dimension of a true concept. Such inquiry will in fact give an illuminating insight into most of the relevant logical remarks pervading contemporary legal theory.  This research shall particularly focus on Ricoeur and Habermas’ works, whose disagreements have not been systematically explored by the literature so far. Since their respective reflections on justice and legal theory are logically related to a very consistent philosophy of language, confronting their work is indeed the best way to underst

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Copolymers of tannins and waste lignocellulosic materials with synthetic materials for non-toxic environment friendly chrome substitutes in leather tanning.' (1998-2002) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Toxic Chrome salts are used for the production of 70% of to-day's leather, namely the majority of soft leather. the project proposes to synthesize copolymers of non-toxic vegetable tannins and waste lignocellulosic materials both derived from the forestry industry with(i) acrylic acid,(ii) aminoplastic resins and(iii) by reacting natural vegetable tannins with small amounts of non-toxic nitroalcohols, and to show that these compounds can substitute toxic chrome salts or completely or at least partially (in retannig operations) to produce acceptable soft leather.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'EO4FoodSecurity: Using Earth Observation Enabled Land Cover Classification for Characterizing Global Food Security on Regional Scales' (EO4FoodSecurity), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Characterizing the state of global food security is essential in devising and evaluating policies and programs for effective decision making. The concept of food security is multidimensional and dynamic and is often compounded by the challenge of obtaining relevant data. Moreover, finding appropriate indicators that specifically encompass the four dimensions of food security (including physical availability of food, economic and physical access to food, food utilization, and sustainability) as specified by UN FAO remains a challenging task. There exist variety of different measures for assessing the food security situation, but they merely focus on nutrition and physical aspects and thus provide incomplete assessments related to the problem.In this PoC project, I aim to extend the unique AI algorithms and the big EO data management features developed in the ERC StG So2Sat to characterize the state of global food security on regional scales using multimodal data derived from satellite imagery and auxiliary open data, and offer our software as a commercial, integrated service. Within the PoC, a comprehensive business case that will assist us in designing an exploitation strategy will be developed. Achieving these objectives will augment the capability of our existing AI solution for land cover/land use mapping to infer the crucial aspects of food security and sustainability.Our value proposition in EO4FoodSecurity is a set of professional solutions to extract relevant indicators for characterizing food security by retrieving them from big EO data and other open sources using AI. E.g., generating land use map and using it along with other information extraction modules of So2Sat (such as population density, road and building footprints) and other open data (e.g., meteorolo

user: Describe how 'Disregulation of endogenous steroid metabolism potentially alters neuronal and reproductive system development: effects of environmental plasticisers' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Steroids not only regulate endocrine and reproductive systems, they also modulate neuronal development in the foetus and neonate and cognitive function in adults. ENDOMET aims to examine the effects of a range of endocrine disrupters (EDs), which are derived from industrially manufactured plasticisers (EPs). These Eps (Bisphenol-A, alkyl phenols, adipate and phthalate esters) are found in foods, which are processed or packaged with plastic materials and in dialysis and intravenous drip fluids as contaminants from the plastic tubing. They have teratogenic and feminising effects at low levels in rats and fish. ENDOMET will determine the effects of these Eps on steroid metabolism, steroid function and reproductive potential, using human cell lines and a proteomics/genomics approach. An in vitro range of biomarker tests will be derived to predict potential ED activity of chemical compounds in humans. Public perception of risk will be assessed and compared with that of experts.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Amino acid sensing by TOR' (TOR-AA) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The kinase TOR is a key regulator of cell growth and organismal metabolism in animals. Consequently, the correct regulationof TOR activity is important both for normal development and for disease. For instance, TOR is hyperactivated in almost allhuman cancers, and reduced TOR activity is associated with leanness and resistance to obesity. TOR activity is regulatedby a number of inputs including, importantly, amino acids. Indeed, nutritional amino-acid overload in humans is thought topromote insulin resistance via TOR activation. However, the molecular mechanism by which amino acids regulate TOR isstill mysterious. I propose here to identify and characterize factors required for amino acids to regulate TOR. We will usea genome-wide functional-genomics approach to systematically identify a large number of genes involved in this process,thereby hopefully making a significant contribution to the field. Identification of these novel factors may open avenues fordiagnosis and treatment of cancer and metabolic disease.This project will exploit a high-throughput, cell-based screen for genes involved specifically in amino acid sensing by TORwhich we have implemented in my lab. In collaboration with the neighboring Boutros lab, we have performed a pilot screen onthe 780 kinases of the human genome, proving that the screen is working successfully, and yielding a number of interestinghits which we have validated. The PhD student in my lab who performed the pilot screen is now characterizing these newgenes. I would like to fully exploit this platform by executing the screen on a genome-wide level, and following-up on thegenes that will be discovered. However, I do not have the necessary resources to do so. An ERC starting grant would allowus to do this, leveraging our technology plat
