user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Development of pre-operational ocean measurement system using altimetry' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The main objective of this proposal is The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operational altimeter data analysis and archival system for ocean currents, and to assess the benefits and cost-effectiveness of the ocean current information provided by such a EO data source for applications by the major customer group: the offshore oil industry on a regional scale to be applied world wide. Sea level measurements by satellite radar altimeters (RA) represent a relatively low-cost data source for ocean currents estimation. Recent improvements in orbit determinations and geoid modelling, and the availability of overlapping coverage from more than one satellite will be exploited in this project in order to estimate regional currents more accurately which is required by oil companies producing oil from floating platforms primarily in deep offshore areas. These environmental information products and techniques will populate the CEO information exchange EWSE/ES. The specific objectives are: 1. To produce an accurate high-resolution local altimetric mean sea level for the prime study area. 2. To produce merged ERS-1/2 and Topex/Poseidon data sets for the study area in the period October 1992 to October 1998. 3. To validate altimeter-derived current estimates against in situ measurements. 4. To develop appropriate altimeter data products based on feedback from the customers. 5. To assess the benefits and cost-effectiveness of Near Real Time (NRT) as well as off line altimeter data products during a pre-operational implementation phase. Working versions of altimeter analysis and presentation tools are already implemented at the partner institutes. These tools will be modified as necessary and developed to meet the needs of a pre-operational system capable of efflciently proce

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Synergy-based Open-source Foundations and Technologies for Prosthetics and RehabilitatiOn', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Although much has been done for developing technologies to bear upon problems of individuals with sensorimotor impairments, the impact of robotic aids on people with real needs in the real world is still very limited.  Our main goal is to increase the cumulative benefits of assistive robotic technologies to society by enhancing their effectiveness AND the number of beneficiaries. The challenge is to increase both multipliers in the “performance times accessibility” product, subverting the traditional situation where one factor can only be increased at the expense of the other. We believe this is possible by investigating how the artificial can physically interact and effectively “talk to” the natural. Understanding such a “language” is crucial not only to improve performance of rehab technology, but also to tackle the most difficult problem of making it “simple enough” to be effective and accessible. We possess good clues about such a language, whose words we believe are sensorimotor synergies, and have the scientific competence to further its understanding and the technological prowess to translate it into a new generation of robotic assistive devices.We know that a central ingredient for the applicability of synergy-based models to physical human-machine interaction is impedance adaptability, i.e. soft robotics technologies. We will develop soft synergy-based robotics technologies to produce new prostheses, exoskeletons, and assistive devices for upper limb rehabilitation.Building on solid methodological bases, this project will have a significant social impact in promoting advanced robot prosthetic and assistive technology, while introducing disruptively new, admittedly risky, but potentially high-impact ideas and paradigms, such as the proposed pioneering work on su

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Cold Carbon Catabolism of Microbial Communities underprinning a Sustainable Bioenergy and Biorefinery Economy' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The applicant will collaborate with Irish, European and U.S.-based colleagues to develop a sustainable biorefinery and bioenergy industry in Ireland and Europe. The focus of this ERC Starting Grant will be the application of classical microbiological, physiological and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays, to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize microbial communities underpinning novel and innovative, low-temperature, anaerobic waste (and other biomass) conversion technologies, including municipal wastewater treatment and, demonstration- and full-scale biorefinery applications.Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a naturally-occurring process, which is widely applied for the conversion of waste to methane-containing biogas. Low-temperature (<20 degrees C) AD has been applied by the applicant as a cost-effective alternative to mesophilic (c. 35C) AD for the treatment of several waste categories. However, the microbiology of low-temperature AD is poorly understood. The applicant will work with microbial consortia isolated from anaerobic bioreactors, which have been operated for long-term experiments (>3.5 years), and include organic acid-oxidizing, hydrogen-producing syntrophic microbes and hydrogen-consuming methanogens. A major focus of the project will be the ecophysiology of psychrotolerant and psychrophilic methanogens already identified and cultivated by the applicant. The project will also investigate the role(s) of poorly-understood Crenarchaeota populations and homoacetogenic bacteria, in complex consortia. The host organization is a leading player in the microbiology of waste-to-energy applications. The applicant will train a team of scientists in all aspects of the microbiology and bioengineering of biomass conversion systems.

user: Explain how 'Characterising the microbiome and mycotoxin profiles of winter wheat varieties grown under sustainable crop protection system' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

During wheat colonisation, toxigenic Fusarium species produce substantial numbers of mycotoxins, which pose serious adverse health effects in human and animals. The current control strategies rely on the use of resistant varieties and synthetic fungicides. However, these control measures are not always effective. Moreover, excessive use of fungicides has led to the development of resistance in many toxigenic Fusarium species. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an effective and sustainable method to minimise wheat mycotoxin content. The goal of this project is to provide novel insights into the role of wheat microbiome in preventing mycotoxin contamination and to identify wheat varieties and microbes with potential to promote the suppression of mycotoxin production in wheat. Fungicide untreated winter wheat varieties will be collected from three different experimental field sites in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Then, a targeted metabolomics approach will be used to quantify 10 important mycotoxins in winter wheat samples, to identify resistant and susceptible varieties. Subsequently, DNA will be extracted from the samples and a culture-independent shotgun metagenomic high-throughput sequencing will be applied to characterise the microbiome diversity and function of wheat varieties. Robust statistical tests and bioinformatics tools will be used to analyse and compare sequences and mycotoxin level data, to identify specific microbial species and metabolic pathways that are significantly correlated with wheat varieties found resistant and susceptible to mycotoxin accumulation. Ultimately, the identification of specific wheat varieties that recruit microbiomes that can inhibit mycotoxin production opens new horizons for breeding next-generation crops depending le

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'TRAINING NETWORK FOR THE EUROPEAN CAR INDUSTRY' (TECAR) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The purpose of TECAR is to harness telematics to the need for cost-effective employee training in the EU car industry. It will develop an in-company service for access to a network of distributed multimedia training material on demand, enabling trainees to assume a more active role during independent and group work than previously. An ISDN network-based server for archiving and delivering multimedia will be accessed via a system allowing easy navigation through the material. Project prototypes will integrate new developments with existing user-site infrastructure and training schemes, such as business TVIn the European automobile industry there is a strong demand for the use of new technologies to make training more efficient and less expensive. The overall objective of the TECAR project is to provide telematics-based solutions to meet the training needs of employees in this area.The main scenario to be investigated in TECAR is on-demand training. A service will be developed supporting access to a network of distributed multimedia training material. In real-life experiments at two major European car manufacturers - Mercedes and Fiat - trainees will be able to perform autonomous and group work, whereby the on-demand access will give the trainee a more active role than in currently used training methods. The TECAR technology will involve an ISDN-based multimedia server for archiving and delivering multimedia (videos, CBTs etc.). The server can be accessed via a system allowing for easy navigation between training material. The TECAR prototypes will integrate new developments with already existing infrastructure and training schemes at the users' sites, such as business TV. The target group of TECAR will be employees of car manufacturers. However the solutions are expected

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Influence of sexual hormones and health status on the expression of carotenoid-based colouration' (HORMCOLOUR).

assistant: **Innovation**

I propose to study the importance of estrogens in the control of carotenoid based sexual ornamentation in the common kestrel and in zebra finch.Since carotenoids participate in maintaining the health status (e.g. immunostimulation and antioxidant activity) it is plausible that there should be a trade-off between the signalling function and other functions useful for the organism (which require the availability of carotenoids in other tissues of the body).For this reason several important health status parameters will be considered to clarify the possible interaction between estrogens manipulation, health status and carotenoids exhibition.Specifically, the main objectives of this project are1 to measure the seasonal variation of natural carotenoid and estrogens in wild kestrels and search for a relationship between the two parameters 2 to carry out a controlled study by treating birds with estrogens or their antagonists and measure effects on serum carotenoids and colours. 3 to establish whether estrogen administration or inhibition affect on the birds health status.Apart from its fundamental interest the study will have practical implications since many xenobiotic compounds (environmental pollutants like e.g. PCBs) can mimic estrogens functions. This is of importance since our study may suggest how the environment pollutants affect the behaviour of birds.

user: Describe how 'Solar disinfection as an appropriate Household Water Treatment and Storage (HWTS) intervention against childhood diarrhoeal disease in developing countries or emergency situations' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In Sub-Saharan Africa 769000 children (~ 2 Asian Tsunami) under 5 years of age, died annually from diarrhoeal diseases in 2000-2003. Solar Disinfection (SODIS) is a technique for making contaminated drinking water safe where transparent bottles are filled with contaminated water and placed in direct sunlight for 6 hours. SODIS reduces fecal contamination levels from 1 million bacteria per ml to zero in < 1.5 hours and is completely effective against the pathogens responsible for cholera, dysentery, typhoid, salmonella, gastroenteritis, cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis and polio. The only clinical trial to-date showed that children under 5 years using SODIS were 7-times less likely to contract cholera than children who had not.The WHO approved SODIS in Jan 2005 after the Asian Tsunami however many relief organisations are reluctant to use the technique. They see a need for further Health Impact Assessments other regions before promoting the technique. The only stakeholders interested in solving this problem are those that face it on a daily basis. These are key-partners in SODISWATER. The aim of SODISWATER is to prove that SODIS of drinking water is an effective intervention against a range of waterborne diarrhoeal diseases at household level and as emergency relief in the aftermath of natural or man-made disasters.Research outcomes will be disseminated to the end users (local communities and relief agency coordinators) through the WHO Household Water Treatment & Storage Network and local NGOs. Other intervention technologies require funds beyond the finances of the communities that need them most. SODIS is a sustainable zero-cost technology requiring only plastic bottles and sunlight. The Development Assistance Committee of the OECD has identified provision of safe water a

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'PERsonalised MedicIne Trials' (PERMIT).

assistant: **Concept**

Scientific excellence, and acceptance by health authorities of results derived from research on personalised medicine require standards ensuring validity and reproducibility. The objective of PERMIT is to establish, with all relevant stakeholders and invited experts, recommendations ensuring the robustness of personalised medicine trials, which also requires validation of the stratification methods. In a series of workshops participants, partners and selected experts will address the various aspects of methodology, design, data management, analysis and interpretation in personalised medicine research programmes, with the objective to reach consensus and publish recommendations. A mapping of the literature will inventory methodological practice in the various steps of personalised medicine programmes (WP2) and identify needs in terms of standardised methodology. WP3 will address the design of the stratification and validation cohorts, including the issue of the statistical power and the quality of data. WP4 will focus on the use of the stratification algorithms and the robustness the stratification methods. WP5 will address the translational step needed to select treatments to be tested in each of the clusters. WP6 will be dedicated to randomized clinical trials testing treatments in each cluster (including umbrella / basket designs), or comparing the personalised vs. non-personalised approach. Recommendations and publications in scientific journals, a final meeting and webinars will foster adoption and implementation (WP7). The PERMIT consortium is composed of participants: pan-European research infrastructures (ECRIN, EATRIS, ELIXIR-LU/UNILU), funders (DLR), HTAs (KCE, ISCIII), patients (EPF), regulatory (ISS), data protection (TMF) and scientific experts, whereas part

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Searching for extrasolar planets around the lowest mass stars'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The main aim of the proposed project is to search for planets around nearby stars that are of a hitherto ignored stellar type using newly developed technology and methodology to improve our understanding of planet formation and evolution. The specific focus will be on the lowest mass stars. Stars of this type are a crucial sample of potential planet hosts because they can be used to illuminate the correlation between stellar mass and planet formation, are the most numerous kind of stars in the galaxy, and allow lower mass planets to be identified for a given level of observational precision. The technique employed will be the radial velocity method, but applied for the first time with high precision to the near infrared (nIR) spectral regime in order to sidestep the problems of stellar faintness and activity. Observation time at the ESO VLT for the survey amounting to 33 nights over two years has already been granted to the applicant. A new gas absorption cell designed by the applicant will be used with an existing instrument to measure high precision nIR radial velocities for the first time. The ancillary goals of the project will be to do follow-up study of any detected planets using complementary observational techniques, elucidate the advantages and disadvantages of nIR radial velocities, and explore additional research enabled by the methods and technology developed for the core program. The applicant possess the unique combination of experiences necessary to carry out this full program. The Institute for Astrophysics of the University Goettingen is the proper location for such a project due to the experience of its staff, access to facilities, and international collaborations. The main impacts of the program will be demonstration of a new planet detection techniqu

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Self-Emulsification Route to NanoEmulsions by Cooling of Industrially Relevant Compounds' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Industrial emulsification often requires inefficient, high energy processes, such as mechanical shear leading to high temperatures in emulsificaiton. Our new efficient method has enabled self-emulsificatino at low temperatures by simply cooling an emulsion. We will apply this method to industrially relevant compounds for the food and pharma industries.
