user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'LOST AND SURVIVED CERAMIC TRADITIONS IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN: The Sardinian Case' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Material culture is actively used to establish, and maintain boundaries. From time to time social or political differences result in material and technological differences. The understanding of the variable relationships between material culture and social boundaries contributes to a broader anthropological and theoretical understanding of material culture as part of society and the comprehension of past socio-economical systems can lead to a better undersanding of the actual reality. The Western Mediterranean has played an important role in a crucial moment of transformation in the Mediterranean World. During this exact moment a progressive change from the “world socio-economic system” into a “close or regional socio-economic system” occurred. The study of the Late Roman Coarse Wares (LRCW's) is essential to understand these changes. However, LRCW's had not been intensively studied and the existing results raise lots of new questions and problems to deal with, regarding not only to the production and consumption patterns during Late Antiquity, but also some aspects of the theoretical fundaments of provenance. Our proposal involves a complete archaeological archaeometrical, ethnoarchaeological and ethnoarchaeometrical characterisation of LRCW's, taking as a sudy case Sardinia, an exhaustive study of raw materials, identification their technological characteristics and an extended study of their techno-functional sufficiency. This proposal, finally, aims to create a holistic methodological approach which could be applied by other specialists in the future in similar studies, also to propose a complete and standardised methodology for raw material study introducing new approaches and to construct a Digital Geological Information System (Geo-GIS), which will provide all th

user: Describe how 'Flexible Large Area Sensors for Highly Enhanced Displays' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

We have seen a large rise of novel and user-friendly interfaces that move beyond the paradigm of mouse and keyboard for input. Multi-touch screens are now the de-facto standard in mobile devices such as phones and tablets. This rise in adoption of such natural user interfaces shows there is a great deal of user demand for simpler ways  of navigating information and content, where the computer interface is not a barrier, but enables them to accomplish tasks more quickly and easily.Arguably whilst the input between user and computer has become greatly enriched due to innovations in user sensing technologies such as touch and depth sensors, there has been less significant work that has explored novel output or display mechanisms coupled with this novel input. FLASHED will address this challenge of building a novel user interface device that couples novel input with output.A major problem of flexible displays is still the lack of interactivity, because none of the market-ready touch solutions are flexible. Therefore, one major goal of FLASHED is the development of novel, flexible touchscreen solutions, covering aspects like cost-effectiveness and energy-efficiency. Moreover, the FLASHED project puts strong emphasis on user-friendly interfaces. The FLASHED device itself consists of a flexible display, a touchscreen layer using a force-sensing touch array and a feedback actuator layer .The R&D work starts with research into developing new ink-materials for the touchscreen as well as the feedback actuator layer and with the development of the layers, of the microcontroller, and of the software. Based on these input layers, we will integrate them with the flexible display and implement demonstrators. Formative evaluation combined with a two-round development process will ensure

user: Explain how 'Network for early warning of influenza viruses in migratory birds in Europe' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

NEW-FLUBIRD will establish a European network of virologists, ornithologists, data managers, epidemiologists and modellers, to provide early warning and risk assessment systems" in real time for the threat posed to animal and human health by avian influenza (AI) viruses from migratory birds. The network will build on and extend existing collaborations between AI virologists in Europe, and international ornithological organizations active within and outside Europe. Virological studies will focus on real time monitoring of both low- and highly pathogenic AI viruses in migratory birds along their flyways and at sites of future die-offs, in close collaboration with the ornithological studies. Furthermore they will focus on experimental infection of selected migratory bird species with relevant highly pathogenic AI (HPAI) viruses to determine pathogenesis and excretion profiles. In turn, the ornithological studies will construct migratory route maps and provide samples from migratory birds for virological analyses, thus providing insight in volume and timing of migration as well as key sites of those migratory bird species that pose the highest risk of transmitting HPAI viruses to poultry, and other animals in Europe. All data from virological and ornithological studies will be brought together and integrated NEW-FLUBIRD will seek integration with global early warning system developments of FAO, WHO, UNEP and WCS. NEW-FLUBIRD will closely liase with the relevant EU, other international organizations and policymakers involved in the combat influenza threats posed by AI viruses from migratory birds."

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Beyond the Bamboo Hypothesis. A microscopic exploration of plant processing practices in prehistoric Palawan, Philippines, and their relationship to lithic technology.' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The prehistory of SE Asia is very different from the rest of the Old World. The stone tool kit is rudimentary and production techniques lasted unchanged for millennia. Currently, the dominant hypothesis to explain it is the “Bamboo Hypothesis”: prehistoric hunter-gatherers would have adapted to their environment, the tropical forest and manufactured more complex implements in bamboo. The objective of this project is to explore the potential adaptation of Late Pleistocene hunter gatherers to the forest in Palawan, Philippines and its modalities: have stone tools really been used mostly to make bamboo tools? We know, thanks to plant remains discovered in the archaeological record, that several species were known and used. Therefore, we can hypothesise that the simplification of lithic technology could be due to a technological investment focusing on a large spectrum of plants and not only on bamboo. As objects made of plants do not preserve well, I will gather data by an indirect mean: studying use-wear and micro plant residues on stone tools. To increase the possibilities of diagnosis, I will move from classic qualitative use-wear analyses to a quantitative methodology using confocal microscopy. This method proved efficient to distinguish use-wear resulting from processing different plants in the Levant. This research will be conducted at the Institut Mila y Fontanals (CSCI), in Barcelona, where I will receive high level training in quantitative use-wear and at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History (Jena, Germany) (secondment) where I will be trained in micro plant residue analyses. This project will contribute to our understanding of environmental influence on human development and the adaptability of our species to the rainforest. It will also quest

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Assessing urban impacts on wildlife using the pace-of-life framework'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Under pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis, physiological, behavioural, and life history traits covary along the slow–fast pace-of-life axis. The POLS concept has been recently applied within species and populations, to studying individual-level variation in physiological, behavioural and life-history strategies.  One critical environmental feature that has curiously been completely overlooked in POLS framework is the urbanization gradient (UG). Studies of urban animal ecology have so far concentrated on a few traits at a time, and a systematic approach to urban life-history and physiological adaptations is missing. This project proposes to study individual variation in life-history, physiological and behavioural traits along the UG in two model species of urbanization research, the house finch and the great tit, and to perform an experiment to understand the influence of environment v. genetic background on the development of pace-of-life differences between rural and urban birds. There are a number of avian studies that have assessed differences in traits associated with pace-of-life, such as reproduction, survival, behaviour and personalities, immune responses, and oxidative status along the UG, but so far no studies even consider the possibility of different adaptive pace-of-life strategies between urban and rural populations. Also, relatively little is known about shifts in genetic traits, and there are no studies designed particularly for testing pace-of-life differences between populations of urban and rural birds. The proposed project will use a multidisciplinary approach that involves field study methods for analysing survival, reproduction and behaviour and lab methods for quantifying OS, immune status, and gene expression (transcriptome microarray analysis

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Virtual Animation of the Kinematics of the HUMan for Industrial, Educational and Research Purposes'.

assistant: **Concept**

We aim to develop a service to improve the working environment of fields that use computer models of human joints. These fields need high-quality data to perform their tasks correctly. These tasks are, for example: modelling of human joints, prosthesis design, car-crash simulation, medical education, biomedical research. All of these tasks use anatomical and kinematics data, but they all encounter the same problem: no data reflecting the high percentage of morphological variations in the human species is easily available. Frequently only normalised models are produced - hence the real relationships between the morphology and kinematics of a specific subject cannot be foreseen with high accuracy. We propose to develop a database to allow interactive access o a broad range of data of a type not currently available, and to use this to create tutorials on functional anatomy. The data will be made available to Industry, Education and Research.Objectives:A source of high-quality data of both morphological and kinematics models of human joints will be created. The data will be collected by novel techniques developed by the proposers. These techniques will allow data to be obtained that is of potential interest in related fields across industry, medical education and research. At present, little accurate or reliable data concerning joint modelling is available, which often leads to simplification. Once created, the data will be available via the Internet to allow users to gain new knowledge on functional anatomy. Raw data will be available for downloading to allow industrial users to improve their own products and competitiveness. The interface will employ state-of-the-art multimedia techniques and 3D simulations in a virtual reality environment to demonstrate joint behaviour.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Providing an Infrastructure for Research on Electoral Democracy in the European Union' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This three-year design study will assess the feasibility of providing an infrastructure for research into citizenship, political participation, and electoral democracy in the European Union (EU). Such an infrastructure would endow the social science community with the most essential information required for a recurrent audit of the most important aspects of the electoral process in the European Union. Since elections are crucial instruments of popular control, elite accountability, and popular representation, auditing these processes is seen as good practice in a number of democracies. Such audits empirically assess the nature of electoral processes and detect challenges and threats to the quality of these processes. The infrastructure project that we propose to design focuses on data which, if not collected at the time of an election, will either be lost or will be recorded in a manner incompatible with the way in which other relevant data have been recorded, making the complete picture unavailable for future research. At the EU’s supra-national level, democratic rules and procedures are not yet well established and the institutions of multi-level governance are repeatedly renegotiated and adapted. Auditing the quality of the electoral process at the EU-level is therefore essential. Such an audit would involve the activities of parties (and candidates), mass media and voters. Scholarly evaluations of electoral processes at the EU level have been hampered until now by the lack of co-ordination in the collection of empirical information on which such evaluations are based. The current proposal seeks to change this, and to provide an infrastructure that organizes the necessary coordination and collects a comprehensive empirical database for use by the social science commu

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Dynamics of nitrous oxide release to the atmosphere under coastal hypoxia', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The DYNOX project will elucidate the role of seasonal hypoxia as a driving mechanism for the exchange of the potent greenhouse gas (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O) across the sediment-water-air interfaces in anthropogenically impacted coastal regions. To this end, the applicants propose to employ a comprehensive and innovative observational approach in Lake Grevelingen (Netherlands), which is a saline coastal reservoir that experiences seasonal hypoxia as a result of limited water exchange after two dams were built in the 60s-70s. The measurement strategy will consist of novel shipboard measurements, laboratory-based incubation experiments and analysis of archived samples. This comprehensive approach will allow an unprecedented analysis of the fluxes of N2O from a shallow coastal ecosystem, their natural variability in response to the onset of seasonal hypoxia as well as potential changes with further ocean warming and deoxygenation, and the underlying microbial responses. DYNOX will not only close gaps in data and fundamental understanding in the field of Earth and Environmental Sciences, but will also provide valuable data to the Essential Ocean Variables Framework of the Global Ocean Observing System, and serve as a scientific basis for issuing recommendations to local authorities on priority locations for cost-effective environmental monitoring. Hence, the project will contribute to the research and innovation framework programme “Horizon Europe”, within the mission area “Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters”, as well as to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by addressing SDG 13 “Climate Action” and SDG 14 “Life Below Water”. The project will be carried out during a fellowship at the Department of Earth Sciences at Utrecht University under the supervisio

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Role of CD1c-reactive T cells and lipid antigens in post-streptococcal disease' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Most T cell immunology knowledge is centered on T cell receptor (TCR) recognition of peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. MHC class I-like CD1 proteins present lipid antigens to T cells, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the rules of lipid engagement show fundamental divergence from those of peptide recognition. As CD1 proteins are relatively monomorphic, solving the fundamental biology of lipid recognition opens the potential for wide therapeutic benefit.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection is associated with multiple autoimmune sequelae, yet the disease mechanisms are largely unexplained. Recent increases in GAS infection globally have re- emphasized the major unmet medical need, and driven focus on capitalizing on the therapeutic window prior to the onset of post-streptococcal autoimmunity. I hypothesize that lipid antigens derived during GAS infection break immune tolerance through molecular mimicry of self-lipids and contribute to disease.This proposal harnesses multiple recent technological advances to investigate both CD1c mechanisms and translational implications of lipid-mediated reactivity in humans. I will examine CD1c tissue immunology pathways using human tonsils, a common GAS infection site. GAS- mediated CD1c-relevant cellular and molecular mechanisms will be studied through T cell and lipid antigen discovery and will develop therapeutic targeting approaches. Identified mechanisms will be further studied in patients with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN), informing disease relevant host-pathogen interactions.Access to patient samples, alongside established experimental platforms and a strong collaboration network places me well to address fundamental immunological mechanisms and facilitate preventive
