user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Evolutionary development of the insect olfactory system' (EDIOS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

An outstanding challenge at the crossroads of neuro, evolutionary, and developmental biology is explaining how molecular changes give rise to the alternate neural morphologies and physiologies that underlie the behavioral adaptations of animals. I propose to address this by examining the EvoDevo of the olfactory system in insects. The number and physiological properties of olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) populations determine the sensitivity and specificity of olfactory responses. Evolution of new OSN populations requires changes in cell-type diversification, receptor repertoire, receptor regulation, and axonal targeting. However, it is unknown how these factors co-evolve. I will use three complementary methods to investigate the genetic basis of OSN evolution in insects. First, I will utilize the large OSN size in the silk moth to conduct single-cell RNA-seq of OSNs during development, examining transcriptomic differences between related OSN lineages within a species. Second, I will utilize the rapid evolution of the ant olfactory system to investigate comparative gene expression and neurodevelopment in closely related species with divergent olfactory systems. By examining a range of more and less diverged species/OSN populations, I will be able to observe the gene expression changes accompanying OSN evolution. Third, I will test candidate genes by using gene modification in the genetically tractable vinegar fly. This research will show how new OSN circuits evolve, facilitating olfactory system adaptation. More generally, this research will show how genomic changes wrought by evolution can give rise to novel neural circuitries- in essence showing how brains can evolve.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Morphology of Lithic Artifacts: Experimental and Morphometric Approaches' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

MORPHOLITHEX addresses one of the major research questions in prehistoric stone tool technologies - what are the crucial variables that knappers control to determine the form of their stone artifacts? Specifically, the project investigates the effects of variables that are under the direct control of the knapper, namely various platform management strategies and the morphology of the core surface, on the size and shape of the product. The project uses a novel combination of methods: the knapping process is simulated in an experimental setting that uses an apparatus that enables independent variables to be controlled and measured to isolate their effects on the final results; three-dimensional geometric morphometric methods are used to explore the size and shape of the blanks produced by the experiment; and advanced statistical modeling is used correlate the experimental predictors to the shape and size of the resulting blanks. The specific concentration is on platform management and core surface morphologies common in Levallois blank production, a technology that is present across the Old World during the last 300 thousand years, and is common during the rise and expansion of modern humans around 50 thousand years ago. The goal is to construct a more comprehensive model to account for morphological variation in stone tools and to validate this model using replicative and archeological collections. This quantitatively driven research integrates several of the most advanced approaches in our field and aims to significantly contribute to our understanding of the elementary principles of producing stone tools in prehistory. It further intends to make methodological advancements in controlled experiments for investigating the production of stone tools, as well as developing

This includes modelling not only voluntary movement (e.g. walking) and involuntary movement (e.g. blinking), but also movements, which correlate with communicative acts (e.g. limb gestures, body posture and facial expressions). Whereas research in computer animation has actively studied these different classes of human movement, it is still difficult to procedurally generate believable natural movements within the later class. Our goal is to explore this problem in the area of facial and non-facial animation.Believable conversation:to develop an agent, which can perform conversational function

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'REsponsive theranostic nanosystems for Advanced Cancer Treatment' (REACT).

assistant: **Concept**

REACT aims to dramatically impact the targeted release of diagnostic agents and drugs with nanomedicines that respond to biological cues or changing pathophysiological conditions, thus enabling ultrasensitive diagnosis and exquisite therapy selectivity. Nanomedicine research against cancer focuses on the local targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics to enhance drug efficacy and reduce side effects. Despite all the efforts in the design of chemotherapeutic agents as nanomedicines, hardly any improvement has been translated into benefits for patients’ survival. There is an urgent need for improved carrier systems able to deliver high doses of diagnostic agents and anti-cancer drugs to the tumor. Stimuli responsive carriers are promising candidates since the release of the cargo can be triggered locally in the tumor environment. Currently, there exists an unparalleled effort to identify genes, proteins and metabolites implicated in human disease and utilize systems biology and mathematical approaches in order to develop new prognostic tools for the treatment of cancer and develop more targeted therapies for patients. As an expert in drug delivery systems, the PI intends to bring all these efforts and advances into the design of stimuli responsive organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles that can adapt their response to the biological milieu. The novel engineered delivery systems will consist of an inorganic porous matrix surface-modified with tumor-specific molecules with the ability to sense changes in the environmental conditions and react by providing a proportional release. These nanosystems can potentially be employed for early in vitro diagnosis through effective screening of deadly tumors, such as neuroblastoma and glioblastoma. Moreover, through the sustained delivery

user: Describe how 'Production of fungal carotenoids for healthy nutrition' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The project intends to promote a more extensive use of natural carotenoids as safe food additives in Europe. Carotenoids, which have important beneficial effects on human health, are produced by chemical or biological means. The fungi Blakeslee and Xanthophyllomyces are used by European industry for the production of beta-carotene and astaxanthin. Biological production is favoured by current preferences for natural products, but to compete with chemical industries, fungal carotene yields must be improved. The major goal of this project is to increase the on (a) tee genes and the enzymes of the carotene pathway; (b) the relationships between gene expression, enzyme levels, and carotene production; and (c) the mechanisms of accumulation or sequestering of carotenoids in the cell. This information will allow the scientific partners to get through genetic engineering fungal strains with improved carotene biosynthesis; to be used by industrial partners for the biotechnological production of carotenes and the development of new carotene-rich food products.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Upgrading of structural glulam with fibre reinforcement' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Glued-laminated timber beams (Glulam) are now widely used for large span structures such as arenas, domes and bridges as well as office buildings and apartment housing of up to five floors. Glularn offers several advantages over other materials; Light weight, economical production of tapered and curved members as well as excellent energy absorption characteristics. The structural utilisation of glulam is usually limited by low bending stiffness and strength of the material in relation to concrete and steel. The improvement of the mechanical characteristics will result in a more rational use of wood as raw material and improve it's competitive position against other building materials. The objectives of the proposed research project is to develop methods to enhance the structural and safety performance of glulam by the integration of fibre reinforced plastics (FRP), thus adding value to this traditional timber product. These objectives will be reached by assessing existing technology with regard to commercial potential and by selecting the most promising FRP materials for further development into use as reinforcement of glulam. Development of products and processes to economically incorporate the FRP technology to the existing production facilities of the glulam SMEs. Previous research has shown that FRP reinforcement minimises the influence of natural defects in the wood. If successful, the proposed research project will facilitate the upgrading of some wood spices that have so far only been suited for low value applications due to defects in the wood structure.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'EcoBioMass – harvesting forest energy biomass in the 21st century' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objectives of this project are to optimize, demonstrate and commercialize the EcoBioMass system. The EcoBioMass is the first automated system for harvesting and processing small diameter trees, that for the first time will make small diameter trees an economically viable energy biomass. EcoBioMass builds on a patented technology, where the operator harvests the tree and the EcoBioMass automatically cuts tree stems into prespecified lengths and bundles them together for forward transport. In relation to existing solutions, the system increases the efficiency of small diameter tree harvesting up to 60 % and enables users to extract up to 25 % more biomass from harvested tree stand than is the case today. This will for the first time make industrial small diameter tree harvesting economically and ecologically profitable as a green energy source. The environmental and socioeconomic impact of EcoBioMass within the European Union will therefore be considerable. Each EcoBioMass unit is able to harvest the equivalent of 60 Gigawatt hours of forest energy biomass annually. This translates into measurable benefits to forest owners, forest contractors and biomass energy users and the project is expected to create up to 500 jobs within five years of completion. From a business perspective, the commercialization of EcoBioMass will allow Cintoc to establish its own technological standard on the market and experience accelerated growth. The innovation activities of the project are based on the combination of market excellence and technological excellence, with a clear view of delivering added value on several levels of forest biomass production chain.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Rubicon II' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Crossing the river Rubicon marked for Julius Caesar the beginning of a long line of victories that resulted in the Roman empire. The Rubicon programme offers young researchers the opportunity to an equally successful academic career. Rubicon is an existing mobility programme of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The present budget is 5,3M euro on a yearly basis. NWO receives about 300 applications per year for Rubicon of which approximately 27% received granting. The aim of the Rubicon programme is to encourage talented researchers at Dutch universities and institutes to continue in research after gaining their PhDs. It offers them the opportunity to enhance their career prospects by spending from 12 to 24 months gaining relevant knowledge, skills and experience outside the Netherlands. Rubicon also offers researchers the option of using the grant to conduct research in the Netherlands for a period of 12 to 24 months. The mobility of the researcher plays an important role in the selection process, as international research experience is likely to be an advantage at a later stage in the applicant’s academic career and in applying for subsequent NWO grants. The Rubicon programme is open to all scientific disciplines and all nationalities. Any researcher within the first year after having received the PhD is allowed to apply for a Rubicon grant. With EU Marie Curie Co-funding the Rubicon programme will be able to fund 14 incoming fellowship years in the Netherlands per year and finance the social conditions of the outgoing fellows of the Rubicon programme by organising employment for the fellows at the host institutes. NWO wishes to implement the Co-Fund for the submission rounds in 2011 with the duration of projects within the 48 months from March

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Development of a new method for the detection of damage caused by osmosis in laminated fibre-glass yachts and boats by means of a suitable heat source and infrared light technology' (1998-2002), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

In laminated fibreglass boats seawater can penetrate through the different laminate layers of the fibre-gass hull to material failures such as cracks, scratches etc. and destroys the hull's water resistance. The weight of the boat increases and in those areas affected by osmosis the walls swell. To date this damage has been identified by means of visual inspection when obvious swelling has appeared on the hull. The result is that it is often too late to apply a repair method that is economically viable. Due to increasing environmental standards and safety considerations the early detection of damages on GFK boats becomes more and more important. The objective is to develop a new measurement system based on infrared light (heat image) cameras that fulfils the following criteria: Early detection of possible weak spots affected by osmosis. High measuring precision. High operational reliability. Portable and easy to install; low maintenance costs. Low production cost for the system. Reduction of repair costs and negative environmental impact by early detection of damaged areas
