user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Shaping fruit morphogenesis of floWEring plants by ElucidaTing HEART-shaped fruit development in Capsella rubella' (SWEETHEART) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The flowering plants (angiosperms) evolved over 100 million years ago and quickly colonized every habitable corner of the planet. Such success hinges largely on the formation of fruits that protect and nurture the developing seeds. Moreover, a massive range of diversity in fruit shape arose during a relatively short time, which allowed for the development of ingenious ways of fertilisation as well as strategies for efficient seed dispersal. The Brassicaceae family contains a wealth of diversity in fruit morphologies and includes some of our genetically best characterised model plants and important crop species. Thus, the Brassicaceae family provides an ideal group of plants to study how specific shapes are established. Although many genes controlling fruit patterning in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have been identified, processes leading to specific fruit morphologies are still poorly understood. To unravel these processes, I will study fruit shape using the heart-shaped fruits from Capsella rubella as a model system to unravel molecular mechanisms by which growth is oriented and coordinated to generate this shape. I will exploit a panel of Capsella fruit-shape mutants including the heartless (htl) mutant, which encodes a putative orthologue of the Arabidopsis ANGUSTIFOLIA (AN) protein. To investigate the molecular mechanism by which the HTL/AN protein controls fruit shape formation in Capsella, I will characterize the interacting proteins of HTL by immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry analysis. Novel genetic regulators of fruit shape will be identified and I will study their role in fruit development using biochemical, molecular and genetic analyses. Beyond the elucidation of how the genetic network is established to control anisotropic growth duri

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Flexible automated manufacturing of RST Facets: High Performance Solar Reflectors for CSP industry' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

TEWER is a Spanish Engineering Company founded in 2014 by a team of experts in design, optimization and product development for solar plants and industrial technologies, with strong presence in the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) energy market. TEWER’s RST solar reflector is a disruptive patented solution, a unique sandwich-type, high performance facet for CSP applications, with very robust behaviour under working conditions and with an innovative design and manufacturing process. The technology proposed will remarkably enhance the optical quality to values lower than 0.6mrad for any operational conditions as well as produce the first facets in the market of up to 7sqm. This will allow to reduce the solar field investment by 15% (around 23M€ out of 156M€), disrupting the existing tower thermosolar market. The RST project and its possible future evolutions with joined optimizations with heliostats are aimed at a cost reduction of energy generation using this technology to the tune of 65 to 75 €/MWh depending on the plant location and other business parameters as financing cost. This project drastically improves the production/cost ratio, including both CAPEX and OPEX. The main objective of the SMEI Phase 2 Project is to transition form the artisanal making of one-off individual facets to a pre-series production that allows to reproduce the design results in large numbers. This will be reached through the deployment of a pilot pre-series production line, representative of the future series production process to verify and validate the quality and performance of representative batches. Once the necessary re-engineering is done, the production process optimized and the facets thoroughly tested and validated, the RST production technology will be ready for market replication.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Advanced Anaerobic Reactor for High Hydrolysis and Conversion Efficiency in Sewage Sludge Treatment' (HYCO).

assistant: **Innovation**

The HYCO project tackles the growing challenge of sustainable sewage sludge management, a critical issue for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the EU, which produce 10-13 million tons of dry sludge annually. Current sludge treatment methods, particularly anaerobic digestion (AD), suffer from inefficiencies like slow reaction rates and high disposal costs. HYCO aims to revolutionize AD with the development of a novel compartmentalized plug-flow reactor (CPFR). By integrating advanced microbial process optimization, H2 addition for CO2 fixation, and innovative feeding strategies, HYCO will double hydrolysis rates, improving sludge treatment efficiency by over 50%. This will significantly reduce sludge disposal costs and enhance renewable methane production.This project builds on my PhD and postdoctoral work at TU Delft, where I deployed cutting-edge metagenomic techniques and innovative feeding strategies to boost microbial activity and eliminate harmful pretreatment processes. At KU Leuven, I will collaborate with Prof. L. Appels, who specializes in optimizing AD treatment processes and developing AD reactors. Her expertise, combined with two secondments at Aalborg University and INRAE and two industrial stays at Aquafin and Waterleau, will further drive interdisciplinary advancements in microbiology, process engineering, and AI modeling.HYCO will deliver a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution for sludge management, contributing to the circular economy and the EU’s energy transition goals. By reducing waste, increasing methane yields, and improving reactor performance, HYCO aligns with sustainability objectives, offering a scalable approach for WWTPs across Europe. The project's impact extends beyond technological innovation, supporting local energy gri

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Accelerating the implemention of X1 Wind disruptive floating wind technolgy' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

X1 Wind is developing a disruptive floating system to change the paradigm of the wind energy industry. Nowadays, power producers are looking for floating solutions to exploit their sites located in deep waters, but current technology is not competitive in price. In this sense, X1 Wind has been designed for offshore but taking into account that in order to be competitive, renewable solutions need to be low cost. Unlike other solutions, which use “marinized” onshore wind turbines on the top of adapted Oil&Gas platforms designs, X1 Wind has designed an integrated system to take advantage of the offshore environment. The result is a dramatic reduction in the weight of the platform, as well as a reduction in installation and operating costs, making floating offshore wind cost effective and untapping the huge wind potential located in deep waters (>7,000 GW).X1 Wind innovative design combines the weight reduction and improved stability, with the benefits of assembly onshore and tow to site. Moreover, a patented single point mooring system allows a much easier and faster installation. Furthermore, it also allows the platform to orientate itself passively with the wind, removing the need for active systems, which reduce maintenance needs.Through the X1 ACCELERATOR project, X1 Wind will develop and complete the detailed design and engineering of their commercial scale platform. It is important to highlight that the most important market barriers are related to the high investment needed to manufacture a full-scale platform. In this sense, X1 Wind has established partnerships with large industrial partners interested in the manufacture of the platform and supply of key components. This project aims to de-risk the technology and bring the proposed solution to the market.

user: Describe how 'Active support and reaL-time coordination based on Event pRocessing in open source software developmenT' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In order to participate effectively in the development activities, FLOSS community members need to understand who is working on what in the community and how their work affects other community members. Current approaches focus on managing information integration, but not active interaction (coordination) between information sources and sinks.The aim of the ALERT project is to develop methods and tools that improve FLOSS coordination by maintaining awareness of community activities through real-time, personalized, context-aware notification. ALERT will create an active collaboration platform, i.e. a virtual actor would interact with other developers, process and recognize various kinds of interactions, suggest actions on the basis of these and remember and bring past interactions into the developers' attention, thus enabling developers to work better together.ALERT aims to:- Efficient modeling of the more reactive coordination in FLOSS development that will improve the awareness of the group work and the responsiveness of individuals;- Efficient management of the awareness of team members that will enable interesting parties to be notified based on their interest/expertise as soon as something relevant happens without overloading them, interfering with and slowing down their work.- Efficient management of information relevant for FLOSS teams, including the semantic integration of information and its flow between all stakeholders that will support better understanding of the situations which a developer should react on.- Personalized and task-based access to information, by allowing developers to focus on activities to be performed to achieve a specific shared task and/or by including information about the presence and activities of other developers in the FLOSS.- Pilot,

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Education and Engagement for inclusive Design and Development of Digital Systems and Services' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

There is little clear and easily applicable advice and practical support for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) designers and developers about how to design digital systems and services for older people. Yet the ageing population is acknowledged, and this means we need digital systems and services designed so that they are usable by older people. Otherwise, older people will increasingly be unable to use many of the services such as e-government and online financial services that are becoming an integral part of the everyday life of citizens. These systems and services also include those technologies that enhance interpersonal communication, such as social media. ICT designers and developers are key to implementing what policy makers, user organisations, and business and market strategists have been advocating for some time, namely: digital systems and services that are Designed for All. ‘Design for All’ is the term adopted by the European Commission to describe a design approach that: “encourages manufacturers and service providers to produce [..] technologies that are suitable for the elderly and people with disabilities, as much as the teenage techno wizard.” Although there are guidelines about developing accessible systems and services, but many are not useful to or usable by ICT designers and developers because they are: •outdated: not applicable to newer technologies (Web 2.0 applications, mobile web) •unreliable: not based on good empirical evidence from older users •unusable: not easily understood and used by designers and developers and do not fit into their working practices. Thus they fail to motivate designers and developers in sustained meaningful ways. The research will address these issues in order to create engaging, useful and usable assis

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Our elemental sense of collective flow' (FLOW).

assistant: **Concept**

We are incorporating increasingly complex systems and information streams into our daily lives that involve flow (e.g. autonomous cars, social feeds, disaster information systems). This type of flow is created by a body of individual entities that show both collective and individual behaviours following a coordinated set of rules (e.g. flocks of birds, schools of fish, cars on highways). Designs implicitly assume that the human visual system processes collective flow in an effortless and veridical manner. But which properties of collective flow can we perceive and how sensitive are we to its parameters? Can we perceive 3D (e.g. smoke) as well as 2D flow (e.g. traffic) structures? By studying the human visual system and the mechanisms it relies on while performing complex tasks on flow we will learn how to efficiently deal with large streams of information under highly varying conditions. We will study this by gathering perceptual data of human observers and developing models that align with these human observations. Combining empirical studies involving psychophysical testing and theoretical inferences using neural networks we will arrive at an understanding of collective flow perception. Understanding human perception and the information basis of complex dynamics is of major importance for the design of human-centered complex dynamic systems. This fellowship will be carried out in Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in the Netherlands, under the supervision of Prof. Sylvia Pont, in the Perceptual Intelligence lab. This multidisciplinary task force is renowned for its multidisciplinary work on real-world perception problems and offers unique training in application-oriented quantitative psychophysical work and cognitive ergonomics.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Functional study of MicroRNAs in the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis (Cnidaria; Anthozoa)' (NEMATOSTELLAMICRORNA) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are RNAs of ~21-24 nucleotides with pivotal regulatory roles in various developmental and physiological pathways. They inhibit the translation of mRNAs and thus constitute a “tuning” system for controlling post-transcriptional expression. While the understanding of miRNAs function in bilaterians such as flies, nematodes and mammals is expanding rapidly, little is known about miRNAs in other animals. The starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis is a rising model which enables developmental biology studies in the non-bilaterian phylum Cnidaria under lab conditions. Recently, 40 miRNAs were found in N. vectensis but only one of them is a clear homologue of a bilaterian miRNA (miR-100). As the cnidarian miRNA collection seems significantly smaller than the bilaterian one, it is possible that the evolution of translation-control through miRNAs is responsible for the increase in morphological complexity observed between the basal cnidarians and highly diversified bilaterians (e.g. vertebrates and insects). We aim to study the miRNA expression patterns and function in Nematostella. Specifically, we will use in-situ hybridization, morpholino injection and transgenic manipulations to fulfill these aims. Once we have identified a miRNA whose knockdown results in a noticeable phenotype we will use various bioinformatic and experimental approaches to reveal and verify its target mRNAs. Since the last common ancestor of bilaterians and cnidarians has lived approximately 600 million years ago, common features in miRNAs and modulation of translation revealed in this work may be considered ancient. Intriguingly, it is possible that since this ancestor probably had simple body morphology and few cell types, the cnidarian miRNAs and their function resemble those of

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'New Tetrarchic Reliefs from Nikomedia: Uncovering the Colorful Life of Diocletian’s Lost Capital' (NIKOMEDIA).

assistant: **Concept**

Ancient Nikomedia, Emperor Diocletian’s administrative capital of the Roman Empire, now lies below the modern industrial city of İzmit in Turkey. Until recently very little has been known of its urban landscape, although it was famous from literary descriptions. However, recent salvage excavations have revealed polychromic reliefs and statues of a monumental imperial cult complex from Çukurbağ district of modern İzmit. The complex dates from Tetrarchy, when Diocletian ended the 3rd century crisis through several reforms including the rule of four emperors. The newly discovered reliefs include 75 monumental panels, the only surviving state reliefs with extensively preserved ancient paint, that bear imperial, historical, and mythological scenes. These illuminate civic life of the ancient metropolis under Diocletian’s new administration and provide crucial evidence for the little-known art of this period. Working as the director of Çukurbağ Archaeological Project since 2015, I have been conducting multidisciplinary scientific research on these new finds. This fellowship will enhance this research and introduce and analyse this unique discovery, the only known example of a Tetrarchic complex from Asia Minor, through an authoritative scholarly monograph.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Phase 1/2 clinical testing of clade C-based HIV-1 candidate vaccines in China' (1998-2002) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The number of people living with HIV/AIDS in China is estimated to be >600,000, and projected to rise exponentially. Based on an in depth characterization of the epidemiological situation, three candidate vaccines - an innovative DNA vaccine and two different types of recombinant vaccine viruses - encoding a synthetic , Chinese clad C (CN54) derived Envy and GagPolNef polygene will be tested in a phase 1/2 clinical trial in China. 90 selected HIV negative volunteers will be vaccinated according to different prime/boost regimens and assessed for the safety and immunogenicity of the candidate vaccines. Emphasis will be put on the characterization of (cross-clade) cellular and humoral immune responses towards different regional virus strains. The proposed project also aims to establish the necessary infrastructure for future field trials.
