user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Father Trials: Hormonal and Behavioral Experiments on Prenatal and Postnatal Parenting' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Fathers have largely been neglected in parenting research -- although they constitute about 50% of parents. The aim of the proposed project is to test the hypothesis that fathers’ parenting is under hormonal control and can be changed by behavioral and hormonal interventions. I propose a series of randomized controlled trials (RCT) focusing on a critical phase of parenthood: the transition to having the first baby. I will test whether experiments that modulate oxytocin and testosterone levels enhance fathers’ neural processing of infant signals and of threats to the infant and stimulate fathers’ parenting quality and involvement in parenting. Drawing firm conclusions about the neural and hormonal basis of human parenting is critically dependent on RCTs. I propose two types of experiments: (1) within-subject trials, using nasal administration of oxytocin, testosterone, and a placebo, and (2) between-subject trials, using behavioral interventions aimed at promoting sensitive parenting and physical contact. The behavioral interventions include prenatal and postnatal video feedback intervention (in the prenatal phase based on ultrasound scans) and the use of soft baby carriers. Both types of trials take place 3 months before the infant’s birth, and 2 and 7 months afterwards.A special focus lies on the aspect of protection: a dimension of parenting that has received considerable attention in animal research but, despite its evolutionary importance, not in studies on humans. Testing the efficacy of the behavioral experiments in boosting fathers’ protective parenting and participation in caregiving activities has clear practical significance (for fathers, mothers, children, and society). At the same time, examining the hormonal and neural mechanisms is crucial for the developm

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Probing the timescales of cyanobacterial photoprotection in vitro with the novel PHOTOactivation VISible Transient Absorption spectroscopy'.

assistant: **Concept**

Photosynthesis sustains life on Earth by turning sunlight into fuel for other biological processes. However, photosynthetic organisms can face a lethal threat when they suddenly receive too much light. In cyanobacteria, key photoprotection against excessive illumination involves the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) and the light-harvesting pigment-proteins, Phycobilisomes (PBs). When photoactivated OCP binds to a PB, surplus solar energy absorbed by the PB is safely dissipated, and photosynthesis can continue despite dangerous conditions. While our understanding of the OCP-related mechanism has improved over the last years, its dynamic aspects and the intermediate steps of activation remain largely elusive due to the lack of appropriate experimental techniques. In this interdisciplinary project, I will explore the OCP-related mechanism in vitro using a novel spectroscopic approach: the PHOTOactivation VISible Transient Absorption spectroscopy (photoVISTA) and isolated OCPs & PBs. With photoVISTA, I will dissect the activation of this molecular mechanism across multiple timescales with the femtosecond temporal resolution, from the earliest photophysical and photochemical reactions taking place at the order of femtoseconds to processes beyond the seconds. I will reveal the intermediate steps between the initial absorption of a photon by the OCP and its photoactivation, up to its binding and docking on a PB and energy dissipation in the OCP-PB complex. Being a multipulse technique, photoVISTA will provide unprecedented control over OCP’s photoactivation and will let me propose a comprehensive molecular model of photoprotection beyond the reach of conventional pump-probe spectroscopy. The breakthroughs in this project, further explaining how cyanobacteria manage the flow of

user: Describe how 'Petascale numerical simulations of protoplanetary disks: setting the stage for planet formation' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The main goal of this proposal to the ERC Starting Grant scheme is to make ground-breaking progress in our understanding of the dynamical processes that shape the structure of protoplanetary disks. This will be achieved by performing state-of-the-art high resolution numerical simulations of protoplanetary disks, using novel computing techniques and taking advantage of the future European petascale supercomputers. The project will address the following fundamental questions in accretion disks theory:- What are the properties of MHD turbulence in protoplanetary disks?- What are the effects of radiative processes on protoplanetary disks structure?- What are the consequences of dead zones for protoplanetary disk structure?In addition, the project will look for potential observational signatures of these processes that might be detected by ALMA. Since planetary systems like our own are believed to emerge from protoplanetary disks, the project will make decisive contributions in describing the structure of the environment in which planetary systems form, the interest of which extends to the entire planet formation community.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Novel approaches to the generation of artificial spider silk superfibers'.

assistant: **Concept**

Spider silk is Nature’s high performance material that has the potential to revolutionize the materials industry. However, production and spinning of artificial spider silk fibers are challenging, and current methods to produce silk fibers include denaturing conditions which prevent the silk proteins from assembling into fibers in the same complex way as native silk proteins do. In order to fulfill the potential of spider silk we need to increase our understanding of the silk formation process and decipher how protein folding and interactions relate to mechanical properties of the resulting silk fiber. Recent insights into the physiology and molecular mechanisms of the spinning process has made it possible to develop a biomimetic artificial spider silk spinning device (see our publications Andersson et al. Nat Chem Biol. 2017; Otikovs et al. Angew Chemie Int Engl Ed. 2017). We are, for the first time, able to spin artificial silk fibers in which the proteins adopt correct secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. The overall objective of ARTSILK is to build on these recent technical leaps and use state-of-the-art technologies to generate artificial silk fibers that are equal or superior to native spider silk in terms of toughness and tensile strength. To reach the overall objective we will use the recently mapped spider genome, protein engineering and single cell RNA (ScRNA) sequencing to design novel silk proteins for fiber production. We will also study the relationship between protein secondary structure formation and fiber mechanical properties in order to decipher the ques that determine mechanical properties of the fiber. This knowledge will be important also for the basic understanding of how soluble proteins covert into b-sheet rich fibrils in, e.g., Alzhei

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Cooperative Nickel Catalysts for CO2 Hydrogenation to Value-Added Products' (NiCO2Cat) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 using H2 produced with renewable energy is a promising approach for the sustainable production of value-added chemicals such as formic acid or methanol. Molecular catalysts based on transition metals have demonstrated potential for selective CO2 hydrogenation reactions. However, most efficient catalysts for methanol production are based on scarce metals such as ruthenium. The proposed research aims towards the development of an efficient, cost-effective, potentially scalable nickel-based catalytic system for CO2 reduction with molecular hydrogen to produce industrially relevant compounds such as formic acid/methanol. To this end, I will develop nickel/olefin pincer complexes, which have recently been shown to activate H2 via a new cooperative mechanism and are therefore strong candidates for CO2 hydrogenation. The new complexes will be evaluated for their catalytic performance by using various instrumentation techniques. Experiments supported by theoretical DFT calculations will  shed light on the mechanism of the reaction. A successful project will afford both new, efficient catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation based on the earth-abundant element nickel and mechanistic understanding to guide further developments on the longer term.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Mitigating impact from aquaculture in the Philippine' (PHILMINAQ) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Agriculture and fisheries in the Philippines directly account for about a fifth of the total economy and directly and indirectly (which considers the backward and forward linkages, or the cluster universe) three fifths of the economy. More importantly, it directly employs about 10 million people, nearly 40% of the labour force. Agriculture-based communities are host to most of the poor in the country. The freshwater, brackish water and marine resources in the Philippines are ideally suited to the development of aquaculture and production has been developing rapidly. However, together with the increase in production from aquaculture there is the risk of impact on the environment. Effective monitoring and control of aquaculture by the Philippine Authorities will allow controlled development of sustainable production. The main objective of the Specific Support Action is to enhance the Philippine Governments capabilities in the monitoring, control and enforcement of aquaculture in a sustainable manner within the guidelines of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The Code includes an article with broad principles for Aquaculture Development, which is intended to assist governments in their ambition to promote the development of a safe and responsible national fisheries and aquaculture sector. The environmental sustainability of aquaculture needs to address the actual and potential adverse environmental effects on resources used in aquaculture, in particular, water, fry and farmed stock. In addition it needs to address the adverse effects of increasing aquatic pollution and habitat degradation, certain types of aquaculture practices and production and the related consequences on supply of fish as an affordable food commodity.The project will explore implementing

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Understanding Carbon-neutral Hydrogen Production by Nature’s Hydrogen Evolution Catalyst'.

assistant: **Concept**

The European Union targets a climate-neutral economy by 2050. In the context of this initiative, hydrogen gas (H2) is regarded as a promising energy carrier; however, about 95% of the H2 industrially consumed originates from steam reformation of fossil resources and is associated with significant CO2 release. High-efficiency H2 catalysts based on rare elements like platinum are not affordable on a larger scale. To address the global need for green energy, catalysts composed of earth abundant elements are desirable.Natures’ Hydrogen Evolution Catalyst is the enzyme [FeFe]-hydrogenase. It catalyses H2 production with high rates (10 kHz), in aqueous solution (pH 7), and at low over potentials (-420 mV vs. SHE). [FeFe]-hydrogenase inspired the design of numerous synthetic catalysts, none of which could rival the efficiency of the native system. Basic research is necessary to understand hydrogenase catalysis, in particular regarding the metal hydride chemistry prior H2 release.The objective of this action is to investigate the fundamental hydride chemistry of [FeFe]-hydrogenases under turnover conditions. Catalysis will be initiated via a laser pulse and monitored by transient absorption spectroscopy. Such pump/probe experiments allow following reaction intermediates with sub-turnover time resolution.The results of this action will inspire a targeted design of synthetic catalyst based on earth abundant elements. Moreover, the developed methodology will facilitate a detailed investigation of related enzymes, catalysing global key processes in nature like N2 or CO2 fixation.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Acting on the Margins: Arts as Social Sculpture' (AMASS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The central problem AMASS addresses is that the arts has not been harnessed to address societal challenges through comparative and European-wide Research Innovation Action (RIA), analysis, synthesis and policy development. This untapped potential of the arts undermines joint action between different artistic genres and geographic locations, and thus the advancement of the EU as a stronger global actor, the fostering of fundamental rights based on mutual trust and democratic change within the EU. The overall objective of the project is to address this European-wide lack of synthesis of the potential of the arts that can lead to generating alternative or unconventional solutions to societal challenges and policy development. The aims thus will be to discover and analyse the underpinning structures that influence the functioning of arts in societal challenges (specifically SC6) through arts-based RIA. The challenges addressed by AMASS are geopolitically oriented: the future of work in creative, cultural and other sectors; radical ideologies and extremism; societal polarisation and stratification; lack of civil society participation; populism; migration. Thus, this project will identify, explore, collate, evaluate and analyse existing and new innovative productions, experiments and case studies from the perspective and the physical positioning of the European countries “on the margins”. AMASS, which is located in Europe’s culturally often underserved Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern regions, will set up 5 experiments in these peripheries to investigate the educational effects of the STEAM model in integrating the arts with science through participatory and multidisciplinary approaches. This will be accomplished through technologically enabled visual expression and pr

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Evolutionary response of two African Rodent species (Hystrix sp) to climate changes: the study of the past as an estimate of the future' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Evidences of ongoing global warming, set the study of the reactions of species and ecosystems to climatic change as one of the main issues of Conservation Biology and the development of most accurate and reliable predictive models as crucial. To date, such models are principally based on projecting climatic variables that characterize the current distribution of species on modelled future climatic scenarios (Ecological Niche Modelling). However, accuracy of such predictions are strongly debated thus negatively affecting long-term conservation policy. In this project, analyses of the past range dynamics of two African Rodent species (Hystrix sp) will be used to assess the accuracy of Ecological Niche Modelling predictions by testing paleodistribution models with statistical phylogeography methods. This is one of the major changes made in this resubmission (former HYSTRIX, Proposal N° 235370, FP7-PEOPLE-IEF-2008) according to the  Evaluation Summary Report suggestions. This project will take advantage of recent developments in high-throughput sequencing in population genetics, analysis of museum specimens, Ecological Niche Modelling and evolutionary hypotheses testing in phylogeographic analysis. Consistency between phylogeographic analyses and inferences coming from paleodistribution models for both Hystrix species will be assessed. Since the importance of such predictive methods as Conservation Biology tools is widely recognized, the analysis of the accuracy of Ecological Niche Modelling predictions on future climate, by validating its projections on the past through a phylogeographic approach, could provide scientists and policy-makers with a reliable tool to plan effective conservation strategies. This project will place the applicant in an unique position that can ma

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'The consequences of the joint individual variation in size specific life histories and behavioural types'.

assistant: **Concept**

Individual variations in body size and in behavioural types within a population have, each separately and in isolation, been shown to strongly determine the dynamics and stability of populations and their responses to perturbations and environmental change. However, both aspects of individual trait variation are fundamentally joined by their influence on individual life history traits which ultimately determine population level phenomena through individual growth, maturation, reproduction and survival. Taking this interplay into account can be argued to affect and even reverse predictions of each stand-alone approach. For this reasons, the proposed research project will, using an experimental system with the model species Heterandria formosa that combines individual level and long term population level manipulations, investigate the consequences of and mechanisms behind body size specific, density dependent life history traits linked to behavioural types. Clear hypotheses about total population density, population size structure and dynamics in constant and stochastically variable food environments will help to separate the effects of different sources of individual trait variation and investigate their joint population level effects. After a time of onceptual theorizing, experimental data are now desperately needed to confirm, test and further develop novel ideas and concepts. By integrating two so far isolated approaches (advanced behavioural biology and state-of-the-art population theory) the project will thus contribute to the current paradigm shift in population ecology which is increasingly focusing on the consequences of individual trait variation, helping to formulate a more comprehensive and synthetic theory of populationbiology.
