user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Privacy-preserving and Channel-adaptive Smart Task-oriented Semantic Communication' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks generates a promising paradigm, namely task-oriented semantic communications (ToSC), which focuses on task efficiency by transmitting task-relevant information only and thus reducing communication overhead. ToSC is crucial for emerging applications, such as augmented reality, autonomous driving, and smart healthcare, which require frequent, large-scale data exchanges. However, ToSC faces challenges related to explainability of decision-making, data privacy, and adaptability in dynamic wireless environments. To address these challenges, this project aims to create an innovative, privacy-preserving, and channel-adaptive smart ToSC system. First, groundbreaking transparent neural networks (NNs) will be developed by using model-based learning and deep unfolding techniques, providing interpretable decision-making while maintaining performance. Second, a novel privacy-preserving framework will integrate adversarial models and encrypted parameter sharing in ToSC, ensuring robust data protection. Third, a pioneering channel-adaptive system will be developed using diffusion-based models and meta-learning techniques, enabling real-time adaptability to varying wireless conditions without retraining the NNs. This new system will be validated through a simulation platform and hardware testbed to ensure optimal performance in real-world scenarios. The success of this project will deliver groundbreaking advancements in wireless communication and AI, providing explainable, adaptive, and secure ToSC for future 6G networks. By reducing the volume of data transmission, the outcomes of this project will cut down energy consumption and lower carbon emissions. In addition to addressing the key concerns

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Deciphering virus-host interactions using correlated confocal-atomic force microscopy'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Viruses are a major class of pathogens that infect a variety of organisms. Infection is a multistep process that involves the concerted action of both virus and host cell machineries. The first steps of virus infection include cell binding, cell entry and release of the viral genetic material. Entry pathways are largely defined by the preliminary interactions between viruses and their receptors at the cell surface. Those interactions determine the mechanisms of virus attachment, uptake, and, ultimately, penetration into the cytosol. Elucidating the complex interplay between viruses and their receptors at the cell surface is an essential step towards establishing a full picture of the infection process. Currently, a crucial challenge in virology is to develop a quantitative method to decipher the entry pathways of a virus, thus allowing the probing of the kinetics and energetic parameters of the interactions established between the virus and the cell surface. While current methods successfully describe the entry pathways, they fail in identifying in a quantitative manner the key steps such as energy intensive and high-affinity steps. To overcome this limitation, the ambition of this ERC proposal is to combine the latest generations of atomic force microscopes (AFM) with confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSM). This will allow us to investigate and quantitatively characterize the early steps of single virus entry directly on living cells. At the frontiers of nanotechnology, biophysics and biology, this project aims at pushing the limits of AFM to enable us to better understand the molecular mechanisms of virus entry. This project will have strong scientific and medical impacts. In virology, it will significantly improve the understanding of the mechanisms of virus infe

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Resource-Oriented Sanitation concepts for peri-urban areas in Africa' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs, target 10) call for halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. ROSA promotes resource-oriented sanitation concepts as a route to sustainable and ecologically sound' sanitation in order to meet the MDGs. These concepts shall be applied in four cities in East-Africa, namely Arbaminch (Ethiopia), Nakuru (Kenya), Arusha (Tanzania) and Kitgum (Uganda). The consortium comprises 2 partners from each of these countri es, a university and an end-user. For the model cities strategic sanitation & waste plans (SSWPs) will be developed for the whole city area. These SSWPs will come up with the best solution for the city combining several techniques (resulting in hybrid systems) according to the local requirements. Within the project a part of the SSWPs will be developed in peri-urban areas, where there is a lot of research need for resource-oriented sanitation.Research topics addressed within ROSA are targeting the gap s for the implementation of these concepts in peri-urban areas. They include e.g. an implementation study of the updated WHO-guidelines for use of waste and excreta, the improvement/adaptation of resource-oriented sanitation technologies and the development of community based operation and management strategies. For the implementation of the complete SSWPs the ROSA consortium will develop possibilities for financing. This will be facilitated by the already existing international network of the consortium and the strong link of the activities to on-going programmes/projects in East Africa (e.g. the Lake Victoria Initiative" of the UN Habitat, the WSP of the Worldbank, the Dutch ISSUE Programme, the Swedish EcoSanRes Programme, etc.). Dissemination activities will be foc

user: Describe how 'Deep Learning meets Behavioural Ecology in the wild: methodological applications using the sociable weaver' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Studies of wild animals, from conservation to behaviour, are usually based on individually marked animals. This requires capturing, marking and sampling animals, which imposes limitations as these methods can be challenging, time consuming and impact individual welfare. Additionally, following and observing or video recording animals to obtain data is further constraining. Recent developments in artificial intelligence, in particular deep learning, have the potential do radically and rapidly change the way in which animals are studied in the wild. These new methods can push current boundaries by allowing not only less invasive methods of identification, but also obtaining large volumes of data and, importantly, collection of new types of data, allowing new questions to be addressed. In this proposal, we bring together a team of scientist and technical staff from three European countries and South Africa. Our aim is to develop highly innovative methods, based on rapidly advancing developments in deep learning, which can have a substantial impact on the study of wildlife biology. Specifically, we will streamline non-invasive methods (i.e. no capture) in order to obtain 1) individual re/identification in the field; 2) identification of individual attributes (e.g. sex, size); 3) automatic identification of behaviours (e.g. provisioning young, aggression). In addition 4) we will establish a pipeline to process large volumes of video data, combining individual and behavioural identification. The project is based on exchanges between staff with different expertise, and on work conducted both in the lab and in field. These exchanges are expected to boost creativity and result in meaningful skills transfer and a strengthened collaborative network. The expertise and the methods d

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Neural mechanisms of vocal learning: role of the basal ganglia' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Motor skills are acquired through sensorimotor learning and can be executed without awareness. Experimental evidence suggests that the acquisition and execution of motor skills rely on multiple neural networks. On one hand, the basal ganglia (BG) are necessary for the acquisition of a motor skill through sensorimotor learning, but not for its execution later on. On the other hand, premotor networks, such as cortical motor areas, are required for both the learning and execution of motor skills. The respective role of the BG and premotor networks in sensorimotor learning however remains unclear. We aim to deepen our knowledge of the neural mechanisms underlying the acquisition of motor skills and to understand the respective contribution of BG and premotor networks during this process. Our general hypothesis is that DA-dependent learning in the GB drive plastic vocal production during early phases of vocal learning, while extended practice allows cortical premotor networks to be “trained” by the BG output, and to become capable of driving vocal production independently of the BG. To test this hypothesis, we will set up a comprehensive theoretical model of the song system relying heavily on available physiological, anatomical and behavioral data. In this model, we will investigate possible mechanisms allowing the optimization of the vocal output through learning in the BG circuit followed by a transfer of the motor control to the premotor networks. Experimentally testable predictions of the model will be formulated in terms of activity changes in the BG and premotor networks. We will use innovative experimental techniques to test these predictions and collect further data about neural activity in the song system. In particular, we will record song-related neural activity a

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Analysis of the European energy system under the aspects of flexibility and technological progress'.

assistant: **Concept**

The future energy system is challenged by the intermittent nature of renewables and requires therefore several flexibility options. Still, the interaction between different options, the optimal portfolio and the impact on environment and society are unknown. It is thus the core objective of REFLEX to analyse and evaluate the development towards a low-carbon energy system with focus on flexibility options in the EU to support the implementation of the SET-Plan. The analysis are based on a modelling environment that considers the full extent to which current and future energy technologies and policies interfere and how they affect the environment and society while considering technological learning of low-carbon and flexibility technologies. For this purpose, REFLEX brings together the comprehensive expertise and competences of known European experts from six different countries. Each partner focusses on one of the research fields techno-economic learning, fundamental energy system modelling or environmental and social life cycle assessment. To link and apply these three research fields in a compatible way, an innovative and comprehensive energy models system (EMS) is developed, which couples the models and tools from all REFLEX-Partners. It is based on a common database and scenario framework. The results from the EMS will help to understand the complex links, interactions and interdependencies between different actors, available technologies and impact of the different interventions on all levels from the individual to the whole energy system. In this way, the knowledge base for decision-making concerning feasibility, effectiveness, costs and impacts of different policy measures will be strengthened, which will assist policy makers and support the implementation of the

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'FIre resistant BIObased polyurethane foam for aircraft SEATing cushions'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Flexible polyurethane (PU) foams are widely used in many industrial applications including automotive and aeronautics as fillers for seats, headrests etc. They are made from a reaction of two primary ingredients: an isocyanate and a polyol. Originally, these raw materials were derived from petrochemical feedstocks. The use of bio-polyols, i.e. derived from vegetable oils, as an alternative to standard polyols started around 2004 due to the rising costs of petroleum feedstocks and a growing concern for the environment.But, these bio-polyols can only replace a portion of the polyol part in the formulation and they need to be blended with petroleum-based polyols to maintain the foam physical and mechanical properties. Face to a growing demand for products based on renewable resources, foam manufacturers need to increase that ratio in the formulations while delivering the same foam quality.On top of that, foams used in the aircraft industry, for seat cushions for instance, need to pass highly stringent fire performance tests. It is well-known that the chemical nature of the polyurethane, its low density and the open cell structure cause this material to be highly flammable. In order to achieve high flame resistance requirements, polyurethane foams must be formulated with flame retardants. A multiplicity of flame retardants is known and commercially available for this purpose, like halogenated flame retardants. However, considerable toxicological reservations frequently stand in the way of their use and alternatives are expected.In the FIBIOSEAT project, AXYAL, an innovative SME specialized in the industrial transformation of plastics and composites which owns a leading edge expertise in PU foaming and fireproofing materials, proposes to develop a sustainable alternative for

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Dissecting the role of rapid auxin responses in plant morphogenesis' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Plant cells, living in their cell walls, are immobile and thus tightly control growth to shape their organs and bodies. Mechanical properties of the cell wall are modulated by pH, which is governed by the activity of plasma membrane proton ATPases. The central regulator of plant growth, phytohormone auxin, regulates gene transcription. My team and I have significantly contributed to recent discoveries of additional auxin signaling pathways that act rapidly, in a non-genomic manner. Surprisingly, all auxin signaling pathways converge on the regulation of ion fluxes and cell wall pH. The central hypothesis of the MORpH project is that the rapid regulation of cell wall pH by auxin plays a fundamental role in plant development. I propose that rapid auxin responses controlled by the TIR1/AFB auxin receptors participate in the morphogenesis of the above-ground plant body and that these receptors also drive rapid responses in grasses.In this project, I will reveal the identity of molecular components of the AFB1-driven cytoplasmic auxin pathway using a forward genetic screen and protein proximity labeling approaches, exploiting the unique genetic material of my team. I will address the role of the rapid cytoplasmic auxin responses in the development of above-ground organs of the Arabidopsis model plant. By embracing a new model system relevant to cereals, Brachypodium distachyon, I will elucidate the significance of rapid auxin responses in grasses. Finally, using a combination of live-cell imaging, proteomics, and genetics, I will analyze and manipulate cell wall pH dynamics during key plant morphogenetic events, and discover the regulatory mechanisms underlying cell wall acidification.The MORpH project will uncover novel fundamental roles of rapid auxin signaling in morphoge

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Healing from Enclosure: A Political Agroecology of a Science-and-Society Potato Controversy in Belgium' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Against the background of the ongoing crisis of the world’s food systems, this research project investigates how agricultural knowledge shapes, and is shaped by, its broader cultural, economic, socio-technical and socio-ecological context. A transdisciplinary approach –theoretically and empirically explorative, methodologically innovative, and action-oriented—to the production, transmission and application of agricultural knowledge in Belgium, and Europe more broadly, offers a powerful way of thinking about the complex relationships that exist between food systems and agricultural knowledge. Drawing on insights from a variety of disciplinary perspectives –ranging from political ecology, Science, Technology and Society studies, agroecology and ecofeminism—this project seeks to: (a) develop an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary ‘political agroecology’ framework that broadens and opens up critical discussions on agricultural knowledges; (b) study processes of enclosure and commoning through the study of a science-and-society controversy around the development of genetically engineered potatoes in Belgium to frame agricultural knowledge trajectories; (c) involve ‘concerned groups’ –including farmers, researchers, policy-makers, NGOs and activists— in the development of strategies and actions for social innovation in agricultural knowledge systems. The innovative approach advanced in this research provides a necessary corrective to the prevailing yet partial views of existing approaches to agricultural knowledge systems. By using the lens of ‘political agroecology’, the project engages with the power dynamics inherent in the social interactions which are part of agricultural knowledge, while exploring possibilities for social innovation.The project is hosted at a global

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Identification of the ligand and characterization of the signal transduction pathways that are controlled by the Candida albicans G-protein coupled receptor Gpr1' (FUNGALSIGNAL) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Candid alb cans are able to respond to environmental changes by inducing a distinct morphological program, which is related to the ability to infect mammalian hosts. Although some of the signal transudation pathwaysinvolveld in this response are known, it is not clear how the environmental signals are sensed and transmitted to these transudation cascades. The two most important signal transudation pathways involved in the transition from yeast-like cells to hyphen cells are the camp-PKA and the Amidogen Activated protein kinase (MARK) pathways. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the camp-PKA pathway is triggered through activation by glucose or sucrose of the G-protein coupled receptor Gpr1 and the M APK pathway is triggered by the binding of pheromones to the pheromone G-protein coupled receptor. A C. alb cans Gpr1 homologue exists in the genome databases and it shows extensive homology to the S. cerevisiae Gpr1 protein. In the host laboratory the Capri gene was recently deleted and the resulting deleted strain shows defect in hyphen formation on some solid hyphal-inducingmedia. The transition from yeast cells to hyphen cells is believed to be associated to virulence of this otherwise opportunistic pathogenic organism. The proposed project aims to characterize the C. alb cans Gpr1 receptor in more detail. We will identify the ligand by which this receptor is activated and we will determine the ligandbinding sites of the receptor. To achieve this we will use SCAM analysis (Substituted Cytokine Accessibility method), in which binding of a sulfhydryl-reactive agent in an aqueous environment is used to block access of Thailand to the receptor. The research will also focus on the characterization of the signal transudation pathway thats being activated by interaction between the
