user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Disentangling amygdala contributions to replay-mediated, hippocampal-dependent memory consolidation'.

assistant: **Concept**

In today’s societies, adequate rest takes second place to busy professional and personal schedules. It is known that lack of rest and sleep affects mental health, emotional regulation and daytime function. Such symptoms translate to increased healthcare costs and losses in workplace productivity. How emotional regulation processes interact with sleep and associated memory consolidation functions is not well understood. In addition to increasing basic understanding of brain function, addressing this knowledge gap can help shape therapeutic approaches for mental wellbeing and contribute to EU’s H2020 goals of smart, sustainable and growth. VALENCE-REPLAY will provide a building block towards addressing this knowledge gap through experiments in behaving rodents. The questions to be addressed in this fellowship are: Are memory consolidation processes during sleep preferentially shaped according to the valence of prior experience? If this is so, how is this accomplished at a mechanistic level? The work will use modern electrophysiology and optogenetic techniques to probe functional interactions of brain areas that mediate emotion (amygdala) and memory (hippocampus) and the role of these interactions in memory replay and consolidation during sleep. The project will also lead to fabrication of a new tool, parylene-based multisite neuronal recording probes that will permit tracking single neuron activity from the ventral hippocampus for adequate lengths of time to address the outlined research goals.The fellowship will shed light on how emotions shape memory processes during sleep, but will also afford a committed and experienced researcher the opportunity to acquire advanced training at leading European neuroscience institutes while forming a strong scientific network with lea

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'The multisensory-motor unity of speech'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project is focussed on the speech unification process associating the auditory, visual and motor streams in the human brain, in an interdisciplinary approach combining cognitive psychology, neurosciences, phonetics (both descriptive and developmental) and computational models. The framework is provided by the “Perception-for-Action-Control Theory (PACT)” developed by the PI.PACT is a perceptuo-motor theory of speech communication, which connects in a principled way perceptual shaping and motor procedural knowledge in speech multisensory processing. The communication unit in PACT is neither a sound nor a gesture but a perceptually shaped gesture, that is a perceptuo-motor unit. It is characterised by both articulatory coherence – provided by its gestural nature – and perceptual value – necessary for being functional. PACT considers two roles for the perceptuo-motor link in speech perception: online unification of the sensory and motor streams through audio-visuo-motor binding, and offline joint emergence of the perceptual and motor repertoires in speech development. This provides the basis for the two parts of the project.In the “Extracting Units” action, we shall study how audio-visuo-motor speech units are extracted online in the human brain. This involves analysis of the joint properties of audio, video and motor stimuli gathered in a multimodal corpus; behavioural and neurophysiological data on the extraction of coherent streams within a speech scene and on the segmentation of streams into coherent audiovisual units; and elaboration of neurocomputational models of the audio-visuo-motor binding process.In the “Developing Units” action, we shall gather phonetic data on the joint development of perception, action and phonology, and implement and test various kinds

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Foundations of Model Based Science'.

assistant: **Concept**

In this project we will develop a systematic account of how scientific models are used to understand the natural world. It’s generally accepted, by both practicing scientists and philosophers of science, that scientific models are the primary (although perhaps not the sole) units of scientific investigation. But the model-world interface has yet to be fully understood. Recent work on scientific representation has urged us to think about models not as ‘intended copies’ of their target systems; but rather as exploiting much more conventional associations between features of models and features to be exported to their targets. We will build on this basic insight and explore its implications in a series of five subprojects. First we will develop an account of scientific explanation which is designed to apply to model-based science and which is sensitive to the basic insight mentioned previously. Second we will develop an account of structure of scientific theories that balances formal considerations with the actual practice of using theoretical models to draw inferences about their targets. Third we will explore the ontological status of models across different scientific fields. Fourth we will apply/illustrate the insights from the above projects to/with a series of detailed case studies focusing on models from fundamental physics and biology. Finally we will explore the connections between scientific representation and representation in other domains (language, mind, and art).

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Unipolar Nitride Photonic Devices' (UNITRIDE) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project aims at investigating the building blocks of an emerging semiconductor technology for high-performance photonic devices operating in the near infrared (NIR). We will make use of nitride semiconductors [Ga(In)N/Al(Ga,In)N] and engineer the electronic quantum confinement at the nanometer scale to realize unipolar devices relying on intersubband (ISB)  transitions.While the existing NIR optoelectronic technology is dominated by InGaAsP/InP or GaInAs/GaAsSb-based interband devices, nitride ISB devices will provide superior performance and novel functionalities like wavelength tunability, speed, high power and temperature handling capabilities, temperature insensitivity and material hardness. It is important to outline the novelty of the research in nitride ISB devices, a technology whose performance capabilities and intrinsic limits remain unknown. Our approach consists in applying novel design concepts and recently-acquired know-how on nitride molecular beam epitaxy to the realization of nitride ISB devices with unprecedented performance. The project includes the development of innovative devices which have not been investigated so far, such as electro-optical ISB phase modulators or nitride-based unipolar lasers. The ultimate deliverables are ultra-high-speed electro-optical modulators, photodetectors and lasers.Establishing a new state-of-the-art for design, growth and processing of nitride heterostructures, and developing an advanced know-how on nitride devices are major challenges. The consortium regroups four world-class academic experts on nitride technologies, ISB devices and NIR optoelectronics. The strategy has been designed based on a careful assessment of the risk associated to all tasks. This project is expected to generate strong impacts in terms

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Engineered Protein Capsids as Artificial Bacterial Organelles'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Many proteins self-assemble into regular, shell-like, polyhedral structures. Protein capsids are useful, both in nature and in the laboratory, as molecular containers for diverse cargo molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, and low molecular weight drugs.  They can consequently serve as delivery vehicles, bioimaging agents, reaction vessels, and templates for the controlled synthesis of novel materials.  Here, we will apply our experience with protein design and laboratory evolution to extend the properties of protein containers to create practical, non-viral encapsulation systems for applications in the test tube and in living cells. Specifically, we will adapt the icosohedral cage structures formed by Aquifex aeolicus lumazine synthase (AaLS) to engineer increasingly sophisticated supramolecular complexes for use as delivery vehicles, nanoreactors and, ultimately, as bacterial organelles. Our principal aims are to: (a) tailor AaLS capsids for selective encapsulation of a broad range of macromolecular guests; (b) develop AaLS capsids as delivery vehicles for medical and imaging applications; (c) design simplified, functional mimics of carbon-fixing carboxysomes; (d) evolve redox active organelles for metabolizing aliphatic alcohols; and (e) engineer artificial organelles for the detoxification of polychlorinated phenols. We anticipate that these experiments will lead to a deeper understanding of the principles underlying the construction, function and evolution of natural protein microcompartments. At the same time, they will establish powerful strategies for creating tailored assemblies for practical applications in delivery and catalysis.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Catalytic C-H activation-Initiated Tandem Reactions: Devise, Study and Application to natural renewable molecules' (CHAT).

assistant: **Innovation**

On the one hand, it is now assumed that in the near future the starting materials in chemistry have to come from renewable feedstock and not only from petroleum cracking. On the other hand, the stability of the chemical bonds in saturated hydrocarbons makes them generally unreactive, and a large variety of hydrocarbons constitute a large lowcost feedstock misused, which is treated as fuel or waste. But the invention of processes in which carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds in hydrocarbons can be activated is allowing chemists to exploit organic compounds in previously unimaginable ways. The reactions initiated by C-H activation could revolutionize the chemical industry and is nowadays a reality. The impressive potential of catalytic C-H activation reactions represents a new milestone in organic synthesis. An approach to treat the first issue described would be to “C-H activate” natural renewable molecules (simple molecules obtained easily from, for example, oil from plants) and employ them as starting materials for fine chemistry. The global objective of this project is to learn the last top advances in catalytic C-H activation and apply them to the transformation of natural renewable molecules. The specific aims of my research project are: 1) Devising C-H activation-initiated tandem reactions with Rhodium catalysts and explore its application to organic synthesis. 2) Transfer the developed methodology to the transformation of some natural renewable products – in particular Oleic Acid – into valuable molecules like drugs or drug-precursors. 3) Initiate the development of new catalysts for C-H activation-initiated tandem reactions based on group 10 metals

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Eyes On Scientists - Notte Europea della Ricerca' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The EOS (Eyes On Researchers) project represents the most natural, social and organizational evolution of the innovative and successful AGORA’  project which took part to the Researchers’ Night 2007 FP7 program. AGORA' triggered, promoted and catalyzed a process of fusion of Research Institutes, Local and Regional administrations, cultural and scientific associations into the European association, a legal body,  Frascati citta’ Europea della Scienza,(www.frascatiscienza.it) which is the present proponent of the EOS project. The EOS  project has then a new quality: it is proposed and promoted by an association born in the framework of Researchers’ Night programmes. In EOS it will be paid special attention to the promotional and communicational activities in the metropolitan area of Rome and in the Castelli Romani district. The campaign will be reinforced with respect to the 2007 event. A participation of more than 15.000 people (potentially 25000) to EOS is anticipated. The EOS project is articulated in harmonically and well-equilibrated informal, pleasant, enjoyable and attractive activities addressed to the large public. Part of these actions will be held inside the participating Research Institutes, while another part will be organized into Castelli Romani towns in particularly characteristic places: main squares, parks, bars, restaurants, libraries, town halls, and significative places of European artistical and historical interest, like the famous Ville Tuscolane, old residences of Pope’s family, or the local archaeological Museum and conference hall “Scuderie Aldobrandini”. Specific activities will be dedicated to the small children, to their parents, to young and less young citizens. Hands-on experiments will be proposed,  to show science can also be funny, togeth

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'A framework for enhancing EO capacity for Agriculture and Forest Management in Africa as a contribution to GEOSS'.

assistant: **Objectives**

AGRICAB aims to strengthen Earth Observation (EO) capacities in Africa by building on the open data sharing through GEONETCast, connecting the available satellite and other data with predictive models in order to facilitate integration in agriculture and forestry planning and management processes. Dedicated national applications in various African countries are designed to address particular policy issues related to livestock, crop systems and forest management. Through these applications, “twinning partnerships” are developed between a European and an African partner, to maximize knowledge transfer and integration. Experiences learned will form a good basis for regional trainings to the member states of the Observatoire du Sahara et du Sahel (OSS) in Tunisia, the Regional Centre for Mapping Resources for Development (RCMRD) in Kenya and the AGRHYMET regional centre in Niger, covering almost the entire African continent. These activities will be linked with Africa-wide management and research initiatives and programmes on Forest and Agriculture and builds on experiences from the GEONETCast for and by Developing Countries (DevCoCast) and Global Monitoring for Food Security (GMFS) projects.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The Lignin-First Approach for the Full Valorisation of Lignocellulosic Biomass' (LIGNINFIRST) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Early-stage Catalytic Conversion of Lignin (ECCL), or the ‘Lignin-First’ approach, constitutes an emerging multidisciplinary research field targeting the valorisation of lignin. ECCL involves the concurrent extraction and catalytic conversion of the lignin fragments released from plant biomass in a one-pot process. In this manner, ECCL benefits from the intrinsically high reactivity of the lignin oligomers, leading to further depolymerisation (via hydrogenolysis of ether linkages) and, most importantly, to the passivation of the intermediates (via hydrodeoxygenation of aldehyde and ketone groups), thus protecting the lignin fragments from recondensation. In short, this novel approach renders a high yield of mono-aromatic products (>60%) and highly delignified pulps, allowing for the full utilisation of lignocellulose. LIGNINFIRST objectives will be achieved by high-risk/high-gain research into: (1) understanding (and control over) the solvolytic release of lignin fragments; (2) advancing the molecular understanding of H-transfer reactions catalysed by sponge Ni catalysts to accelerate the discovery of catalytic methods for lignin valorisation, and; (3) reaction engineering of the interdependent processing steps for fractionation of the initial biomass feedstock (catalytic upstream biorefining) to the intended value-added products (catalytic downstream processing). The full impact of LIGNINFIRST will be realised by undertaking pioneering research at the border of Wood Chemistry, Catalysis and Reaction Engineering. The most significant anticipated outcome is a profound understanding of the synergy between deconstruction of lignin, occurring in the plant tissue throughout the ‘cooking process’, and ECCL. The new scientific insights that will emerge from the implementation
