user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Neurobiological mechanisms of endogenous pain modulation' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Chronic pain is one of the largest medical health problems in Europe, affecting about 20% of all adults. To combat chronic pain, we need an improved understanding of the mechanisms underpinning pain. We know that pain is not an invariant mapping from the physical intensity of sensory stimulation to perception, but is subject to various modulating factors that reduce or enhance pain perception. Endogenous pain modulation involves systems that originate in cortical areas, which communicate – via subcortical and brainstem structures – with the spinal cord, where nociceptive processing is controlled. Previous research has focused on anti-nociceptive mechanisms, but it is becoming increasingly clear that pro-nociceptive mechanisms also play an important role in chronic pain.This proposal will therefore be investigating the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie both directions of pain modulation, by using the models of placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies. A first objective is to investigate bidirectional brainstem control of spinal cord responses with dedicated fMRI tools. The second objective – which involves ultra high-field fMRI – is to characterize the subcortical-brainstem networks in detail that intervene between cortical and spinal processing. Finally, a third objective is to determine cortical pain control mechanisms by using MEG in combination with analysis of evoked and induced responses. All three objectives will put a strong emphasis on connectivity analyses.The proposal will provide important insights into pro- and anti-nociceptive pain-modulatory processes at an unprecedented level of detail. Such an endeavor is clinically important, as malfunction of pain control s

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Isocyanate Free Self-Blowing Biobased Circular Foams' (EcoFoams).

assistant: **Innovation**

Plastics have been key materials to be aligned with the European Union´s Sustainable Development Goals. This promise stems from its lightweight, low-density nature while maintaining favorable mechanical, thermal, and insulating properties. Nevertheless, plastic production still lacks sustainability, primarily relying on fossil resources. Indeed, less than one percent of the annual plastic production (390 million tons), originates from renewable sources. This heavy reliance on fossil resources exacerbates global warming, as the extraction, production, and disposal of these materials release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Furthermore, in Europe, less than 20% of post-consumer plastic waste is recycled. In the realm of plastics, polymer foams merit special attention for their versatility, combining the main unique plastic properties while minimizing material usage. Foams serve two main purposes: flexible types for uses like packaging and cushioning, and rigid foams for insulation, construction, and high mechanical strength needs. Despite their remarkable properties, foam production relies on nonrenewable resources and toxic chemicals like isocyanates and phosgene. Additionally, their exceptional performance relates to their highly crosslinked nature, which also renders these materials challenging to recycle, or often, non-recyclable.  The central goal of EcoFoams is to develop biobased foams that not only match the manufacturing process and performance of commercially available foams but also offer recyclability and reprocessability. To do so EcoFoams will explore the use of S-Alkylation Reaction to produce self-blown polycarbonate (PC) and polyhydroxurethane (PHU) foams without using toxic isocyanates.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Renewing Administration through Democratic Anchorage Reforms' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The RADAR project (Renewing Administration through Democratic Anchorage Reforms) aims to enhance the democratic governance of public services and public administrations. To construct legitimacy for public administration, it will focus on democratic anchorage, new narratives and education.RADAR’s first objective is to improve the understanding of the relationship between public administration reforms and democratic legitimacy. This will be achieved through a scoping review; multi-level statistical analysis of data from the European Quality of Government Index; a systematic analysis of emerging innovative solutions using a newly created database of innovation cases; and a comprehensive analysis of reform discourses.RADAR’s second objective is to examine under which conditions efforts to improve the democratic legitimacy of public administration reforms are effective. Using a combination of research methods including experiments, focus groups, and case studies, it will examine three types of initiatives that have shown the most promise: participation/co-creation, representative bureaucracy and experimental governance.The third objective is to translate the findings from RADAR’s research into concrete methods to increase the input and output legitimacy of public administration, allowing reforms and innovations to achieve results while respecting and strengthening democratic institutions. RADAR’s final objective is to make methods to democratically anchor reforms and innovations part of the education and training received by current and future civil servants and policymakers. With seven leading research institutes, two national schools of government, a Ministry at the core of public innovation, and an international NGO, the RADAR consortium represents a wealth of research an

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Operational sustainable forestry with satellite-based remote sensing'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Forests, cornerstone of the EU economy (42% of EU land) and source of multiple social and environmental benefits, need to be managed according to the sustainability principles as stated in EU Forest Strategy. However managers lack accurate / up-to-date data to support it. Traditional forest inventories characterize forests from the ecologic and dasometric perspective; but they are expensive and typically planned on a 5-10years basis. This periodicity is often much lower than required for planning forests´ commercial or recreational activities on the basis of these data. Forest change rates demand tools able to monitor, on annual basis, the forest extension, the attributes of available timber, or the different ecosystem services emerged. MySustainableForest aims to develop a pre-commercial service and platform for forest stakeholders, compliant with open and standard interfaces, to integrate Earth Observation into the forest stakeholders’ decision making processes and operations. It will be implemented on the basis of GMV prototyped service, eoForest and will leverage on partners’ expertise on LiDAR and forest modelling. It engages relevant European public and private forest stakeholders: RAIZ (R&D branch of The Navigator Company), Croatian Forest Research Institute, Mendel University in Brno, Forest Owners Association of Navarra and Lithuania, Centre Nationale de la Propriété Forestière, European Forest Institute, and 2 innovative SMEs (MADERA+ and Föra). Its added value will be demonstrated in 6 different bioclimatic zones from Portugal, Spain, France, Croatia, Czech Rep. and Lithuania, and across a variety of management protocols and forest usages. The economic viability of the service will be assessed and the associated business model validated. As a larger implicati

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'The Role of Prefrontal Cortex in Functional Brain Organization of Number Processing in Infants'.

assistant: **Concept**

One of the most critical quests of neuroscientists is the discovery of the origin of human cognition, such as number processing. Previous studies have shown that the ability to process numerical information in adulthood can be traced back to the first months of life. Although the natural number concept is not expressed until childhood it is built upon a nonsymbolic competency (e.g., child A has more toys than child B) that has an evolutionary origin and is available early in life.The human infant brain is the only known system, which is able to master a natural language and symbolic knowledge that represents the external world. Fascinatingly, infants are able to represent and discriminate quantities, solve addition and subtraction problems, calculate probabilities, and understand ordinality. These abilities rely on two core systems: (1) track a small number of individuals and (2) estimate the numerosity of large sets across different sensory modalities.However, the role of supportive cognitive abilities in number processing has been overlooked in both behavioral and neuroimaging studies in infants. Studies in adults, and even more in children, frequently reveal that in addition to the above-mentioned magnitude processing ability – understanding the quantities – different cognitive abilities – e.g., working memory, inhibition, sustained attention – are needed for number processing and arithmetic. These cognitive abilities mainly rely on prefrontal activation.Furthermore, as an index of maturation, myelination in the prefrontal cortex takes place before that in several other brain regions, such as the temporal lobe. Infant studies in other domains have already revealed the involvement of the prefrontal cortex in response to the mother’s voice, and when working memory is e

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'The Winner-Loser Divide?: A Comparative Analysis of Voting Behaviour and Cleavage Formation in Post-Communist Party Systems' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposed project consists in a comparative analysis of the impact of the ‘transition winner/loser’ divide on political cleavages in four post-communist party systems: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. It has two key purposes: (i) to identify whether winner/loser cleavages emerged in these countries over the first two decades of transition, and (ii) to explain these outcomes in comparative perspective. From the beginning of the post-communist transition, the notion of ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ was commonplace. Observers expected that the new inequalities introduced by the logic of the market society and the differentiated adjustment of social groups would deepen and crystallise social hierarchies, to the benefit of those individuals who possessed the capital to take advantage of new opportunities and the detriment of those who lacked such capital. Many also predicted that the winner/loser divide would form the basis of political divides in the emergent party systems, and that these divides would subsequently harden into lasting political cleavages.Although the winner/loser divide has been employed in a number of country studies, the literature on this topic is lacking in three respects: (i) no studies use a comprehensive theoretical approach that treats the divide as both objective and subjective in nature; (ii) there are currently no comparative, diachronic studies focusing directly on this cleavage that cover the whole of the transition period, and (iii) few studies to date have analysed the regional, aggregate-level dimension of this divide using appropriate methods. The proposed project will fill this research gap. Such research is particularly relevant at present in light of the potentially profound impact of the European economic crisis on the natu

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Biodiversity and sustainable exploitation in tropical coastal ecosystems' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Ecological and biological research on the tropical continental shelf and coastal ecosystems is still needed in order to assess and contribute to biological diversity and to assess alterations due to human impact and global environmental changes. Moreover, in the past, the research done was not effectively communicated to political decision makers. The main objective of this project is to try to draw together the researchers and politicians in industrialised and developing countries into the same projects and programs, so that a direct link can be established between them. In this context a meeting will be organised for selected European and DC scientists and enterprises interested in research on sustainable aquaculture and other environmentally friendly production systems. Expected result of this meeting will be the preparation of two-three large and well sounded projects to be submitted to the further INCO-DEV calls on the subject.

user: Explain how 'High-frequency ELectro-Magnetic technologies for advanced processing of ceramic matrix composites and graphite expansion' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Lightweight ceramics and fibre reinforced ceramic composites, such as non-oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) and Expanded Graphite (EG),  represent very promising solutions for high temperature applications in strategic industrial sectors, such as transport and energy. In fact, these materials are one of topical priorities of the European Technology Platform EuMAT and a strategic issue of the EC Research Roadmap on Materials.Huge market opportunities are expected for CMC and EG provided to overcome the three major identified gaps: high cost, difficulty of processing and materials reliability. New and more efficient manufacturing technologies can pave the way to improve material quality, reduce processing time, converge towards near-net shape fabrication, trim energy spent and abate production costs.HELM will address these challenges by proposing innovative high-frequency electromagnetic, microwaves (MW) and radiofrequencies (RF), heating technologies for integrating and, in the long term, replacing standard thermal processing routes, i.e.: Chemical Vapour Infiltration (CVI), Liquid Silicon Infiltration (LSI), Polymer Impregnation and Pyrolysis (PIP), and Graphite Exfoliation (GE).MW/RF heating owns peculiar features (rapid selective bulk heating, reversed thermal gradients, more homogeneous heat distribution) that will enhance materials performance. It can bring 60% processing time reduction (or even higher), with subsequent trimming of production costs, and cut of energy consumption up to 50-60%.HELM RTD activities involve some of the principal European experts in the field, including research institutes, innovative SMEs,  and end-users for industrial validation. A full product assessment, including energy and cost evaluations, will be performed through proper Life

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Integrated Material and Information TEChnologies for novel emission control Systems' (IMITEC).

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of this proposal is to develop an integrated sensor platform for next-generation emission control systems such as particulate (soot) filters and nitrogen oxides converters through systems integration of micro/nano-materials technologies, virtual sensor simulation algorithms and instrumentation of emission control devices. This is in direct response not only to future market potential of these technologies, but also to explicit statements of the EC to push sensor development for such applications by 2008. After incorporating software modules with the sensor elements the integrated device will be tested under realistic conditions for developing modalities and strategies for feedback control of the system. Finally, LCA/techno economic assessment for the developed technologies will be carried out.Objectives:To produce multifunctional (micro fluidic/catalytic/electrochemical/electric) micro/nano-scale porous sensing elements by integrating:i) A sensitive but affordable sensor platform for the detection of soot nanoparticles (detectable mass between 1-30gr/m2 of filter area) and nitrogen oxides concentrations (< 500ppm) for on-line emission monitoring of next-generation emission control devices like diesel particulate filters and deNOx converters;ii) Robust and computationally efficient multi scale algorithms simulating the system performance, leading to the production of virtual sensors, with substantial overall system cost reduction benefits;iii) Fundamental knowledge on the functioning performance of the new sensor platform interfaced with next generation emission control systems on state-of-the-art diesel engines.Work description:The main activities of the proposed project will be structured around the following Work packages:- Development of new, miniature diagno

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'MolCoNet - A thematic network on molecular computing'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This working group addresses bio-molecular computing, e.g. the use of bio-sequences (e.g. DNA strands or proteins) to store and manipulate information. Bio-molecular computing is a new and rapidly evolving research area that brings together computer scientists and biologists and that requires both theoretical and experimental work. Cooperation and information exchange between different research groups is essential in order to compare the different proposals and methods and, ultimately, to exploit the enormous potential of DNA or other molecules as a computational substrate. The working group will establish systematic contacts and exchanges among research groups with complementary expertise, in particular groups developing theoretical models of bio-molecular computing and groups pursuing experiments.This working group addresses bio-molecular computing, e.g. the use of bio-sequences (e.g. DNA strands or proteins) to store and manipulate information.
