user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'REconfiguring EU DEMOcracy Support ? Towards a sustained demos in the EU's Eastern Neighbourhood'.

assistant: **Innovation**

REDEMOS represents a unique, parallel investigation of the legacy and potential of democratization processes in the EU’s eastern neighbourhood. Analyzing both EU actions and eastern neighbours' responses, balancing the impact of funding, reforms and civil society support against a decade of static and regressive outcomes, REDEMOS is grounded upon an appraisal of domestic and geopolitical challenges facing neighbourhood democratization, and progressive practices needed for both sides to re-engage. With its highly original, 4-phase demos cycle, REDEMOS breaks new ground in demonstrating how revived approaches to understanding norms and values, and reinforced implementation of procedures and practices can fully transform both attitudes and outcomes from passive democracy promotion to active democracy collaboration. Hence, REDEMOS bridges numerous divides emerging between 2010-2022 and focuses on the overarching need to reconstitute a workable ‘demos’ within Eastern partners in light of sizeable political changes including outright opposition to democratization practices from within and beyond the neighbourhood. REDEMOS’ vision shifts attitudes beyond an exclusionary focus on values, norms and procedures, to inclusive democratic practices through citizen empowerment. Featuring a work package female-led structure, REDEMOS presents a series of pioneering milestones and deliverables, based on an equitable balance of 11 high-quality East and West European partners. Its geographical composition is representative of the eastern neighbourhood, with each partner focused on providing advanced tools by which the EU and its eastern neighbours can reset democracy in state and non-state environments. Balancing state reform, civil society, marginalized and local perspectives, and its imp

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'POLYSYS: Direct 100G connectivity with optoelectronic POLYmer-InP integration for data center SYstems'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Optical connectivity in data centers relies on 10Gb/s parallel optics that raise scalability and energy consumption issues. Efforts towards advanced modulation formats pose severe system complexity. The upgrade to 100 Gb/s to resolve the bandwidth bottleneck and increase the throughput of optical interconnect backplanes requires a disruptive yet straightforward solution. POLYSYS aims to provide this solution and realize 100Gb/s serial connectivity for rack-to-rack and chip-to-chip interconnects. POLYSYS will use electro-optic polymer as an integration platform where 100Gb/s modulators will be integrated monolithically, whereas InP lasers, detectors and electronics will be integrated hybridly. The InP-to-polymer integration technique will enable 95% coupling efficiency without using lenses and bulk optics. POLYSYS will fabricate the first serial 100Gb/s and 4x100Gb/s transmitters integrated with <1W-consuming electronic driver ICs, achieving 10 times higher line rates than mainstream 10 Gb/s VCSEL or silicon-based commercial products. POLYSYS will furthermore integrate 4x100Gb/s optoelectronic receivers monolithically in InP. The receivers will exhibit a high conversion gain to enable direct connectivity without optical amplifiers. The electronics will be integrated in arrays and the DEMUX circuit will demonstrate record low sensitivity. POLYSYS will demonstrate 4x100Gb/s direct data interconnection, increasing by 4 times the total throughput and reducing at least by a factor of 2 the required Energy/bit with respect to commercially available products. By demonstrating optical demultiplexing based on polymer, POLYSYS will show that the energy/bit can be further decreased by a factor of 5. Finally, POLYSYS will demonstrate serial 100Gb/s chip-to-chip interconnection by in

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Subversion of host trafficking machinery by Hepatitis C Virus to promote viral replication' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important cause of worldwide liver disease. Current therapies are inadequate for most patients. Improving the understanding of the life cycle of this virus may provide opportunities for new antiviral strategies. Like all characterized positive-strand RNA viruses, HCV is also believed to replicate its RNA in association with intracellular membranes, the details of its replication complex assembly are unknown. My long-term goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms used by HCV to form its membrane-associated replication complexes. I hypothesize that in order to assemble membrane-associated replication complexes, HCV hijacks and redirects the function of components of the host’s vesicular membrane trafficking pathways. I have recently discovered such an interaction between HCV non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) and TBC1D20, a Rab1 GTPase activating protein (GAP) implicated in ER-to-Golgi transport. TBC1D20 depletion impaired HCV replication, with no affect on cell viability. Preliminary experiments reveal that TBC1D20 might also be a GAP for Arf-1, a GTPase implicated in Golgi–to-ER trafficking, suggesting an exciting model wherein NS5A’s interaction with TBC1D20 can subvert both directions of ER-Golgi transport to promote the establishment of the HCV replication complex. This project aims to further determine the role of the NS5A-TBC1D20 interaction in the establishment of the HCV replication complex and to determine the role of Arf1 in HCV replication.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Wind Turbine Shearography Robotic Inspection On-blade System (SheaRIOS)' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

SheaRIOS is a solution for the Wind Turbine Blade (WTB) inspection industry that enables easier, faster and more accurate inspection utilising robotics and shearography, a high-quality method that is applied outside of the laboratory for the first time. A deployment platform will ascend on the wind turbine tower and deploy a work climber on the base of the blade. The climber will move on the blade by means of air-suction and carry out inspection with a shearography kit on a cantilever. The deployment platform will also act as the power and data link.Operational modelling is done by EDF, the end-user that drives this Innovation Action. Preliminary testing and validation of the market-readiness of the SheaRIOS robotic application will take place at their on-shore wind turbine facilities. Three competitive small and mid-scale technology companies from three European countries will contribute so Europe will (1) integrate more wind power, (2) reduce operational costs, (3) keep the technology lead, and (4) remain a major export. As per Wind Europe, these are the targets for enabling wind to become the backbone of our electricity generation system.Based on our analysis, the non-destructive testing service provider would save 1,055€ per wind turbine inspection and payback of SheaRIOS investment will be achieved after 152 inspections, or the first 2 years. The wind farm operator will save more than 1 full day per wind turbine inspection, because of the reduced inspection time, which directly translates to less revenue lost due to idle wind turbines. Finally, the cumulative savings for a period of the first 5 years will translate to €92.74m, assuming SheaRIOS will be successful in averting just 20% of the unforeseen WTB failures and contributing to increased health and safety for

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Lyric Weapons: Italian Poetry in the Age of Nuclear Anxiety' (IPNA) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

IPNA explores the emergence and evolution of nuclear anxieties in Italian poetry from the Cold War to today (1945–2024), using the lens of environmental humanities. It uniquely positions modern Italian lyric poetry within a transnational study of nuclear anxiety, revealing how poetry reflects and influences environmental concerns globally. By examining the trans-generational expression of nuclear anxiety through poetry, the project aims to uncover new insights into lyric poetry and the relationship between literature and anxiety.Italy's history as a host of American nuclear weapons and home to a prominent Communist Party (1950S-1980S) makes it a key site for the cultural elaboration of 'nuclear anxiety.' This project examines how more than twenty Italian poets articulate responses to existential threats, viewing poetry as a medium to explore the complex interplay between environmental and human precarity. Key poets, including Eugenio Montale, Amelia Rosselli, Andrea Zanzotto, and Antonella Anedda, reflect on nuclear anxieties through their works, highlighting how lyric poetry captures the subtle tensions of this era.This project addresses gaps in the existing literature by focusing on lyric poetry rather than prose or cinema, which have been the primary focus of previous studies. It employs an interdisciplinary approach, combining lyric theory, environmental humanities, world literature, and affective stylistics to explore how poetry serves as a space for grappling with existential threats. The project's transnational perspective contextualizes Italian poetry within broader glocal traditions, offering new insights into the interconnected dimensions of nuclear anxiety and its cultural impacts.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Flexibility Activated Zero Energy Districts' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The Ren(n)ovates proposal focuses on the deployment and demonstration of an innovative systemic, 4-step holistic approach comprising state-of-the-art renovation with state-or-the-art smart ICT control. Deep renovation of residential buildings will be carried out including the installation of a standardised pre-fabricated energy module equipped with communication technology converting the buildings into Net Zero Energy Buildings. This can be achieved with minimal disturbance to the tenant and with minimal renovation costs for the tenant/building owner by means of an innovative business model. The inclusion of interoperable smart control strategies introduced at building- , cluster- and business level, implemented on existing software platforms and standard compliant serve to ‘unlock’ the residential energy flexibility for grid and system level services. The project addresses the call for Energy-Efficient Buildings (H2020-EeB-2015), more specifically the topic EeB-08-2015 : Integrated Approach to Retrofitting of Residential Buildings.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Investigation of serrated trailing edge noise' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Objectives The objective of the project is the reduction of the noise emitted by a horizontal axis wind turbine by the application of serrated trailing edges. The most dominant aeroacoustic noise sources, the trailing-edge noise and the tip noise are to be tackled and reduced as far as possible. It has been proven from wind tunnel experiments within a Dutch TWIN-project that in the 2d-case a reduction of up to 6 dB(A) can be achieved by the application of sawteeth. In an EU-project on tip noise it has been shown that the noise emission strongly depends on details of the flow and, therefore, the 2d-results cannot be transferred straight away to full-scale blades. At present no theoretical predictions or experimental data are available on sawtooth trailing edge noise for 3d-flow. The STENO project wants to close this gap. Technical Approach Since most of the aeroacoustic noise emanates from the tip region - here representing the outer 15% of the blade - the noise-reducing means should be applied there. With a special blade tip (supplied by Aerpac) measurements will be performed in anechoic and low-speed wind tunnels at NLR, both to find the aerodynamic input parameters needed for a semi-empirical noise prediction method and to measure the actually generated noise to be compared with the predicted one. With these results, an existing 2d-model for noise emission from serrated trailing edges will be extended at TNO/TPD to and validated for the case of 3d-flow in the blade tip region. It will then be used to lay out the optimum serration geometry for the full scale UNIWEX tips. It is planned to investigate three different tips experimentally on the two-bladed 16m UNIWEX turbine of the ICA/Uni Stuttgart. Operational, structural and acoustic data will be collected, the latter b

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The role of RNA interference in antibacterial responses of Caenorhabditis elegans' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

RNA interference (RNAi) induces gene silencing and is involved in host responses to pathogens. Faced with the bacterium Serratia (S.) marcescens, Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans responds with a behavioural response (""lawn avoidance""). Since mutation of the RNAi gene rde-4 impairs lawn avoidance, RNAi seems to be involved. S. marcescens infection leads to upregulation of antimicrobial peptide genes in C. elegans. Our hypothesis is that RNAi is involved in controlling this transcriptional response. This project aims to characterise the role of RDE-4 and other RNAi pathway components in the avoidance behaviour and the transcriptional response of C. elegans. This will be achieved by identifying putative RNA-protein-complexes formed with RDE-4 upon S. marcescens infection. Concerning the role of RNAi in controlling defence gene expression, it will be investigated if two antimicrobial peptide genes, nlp-29 and cnc-2, are regulated by microRNAs (miRNA). miRNA arrays will be used to investigate which of the annotated miRNAs are regulated by S. marcescens infection. Candidate miRNA genes and their targets will be characterised. The multidisciplinary project “MicroDetect” will support competence diversification and career development of the fellow. Its research training objectives are scientific and technical. The fellow wishes to extend her knowledge in molecular biology and learn techniques required to use C. elegans as model system to study host-pathogen interactions. This will be achieved by training through research. The fellow will extend her complementary skills in project management, presentation, manuscript preparation and collaboration building through implementation of the project and mentoring by the supervising scientist.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Chromosome Packing in Plants' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The three-dimensional organization of the genome in the nucleus is critical for many cellular processes. Hi-C is a newly developed, cutting edge method to analyze chromosome packing on a whole-genome scale using next-generation sequencing tools. Application of Hi-C to fungal and animal genomes has already revealed many new insights, providing a very high resolution picture of the nuclear arrangement of chromosomes. Given the different architecture of plant genomes, applying Hi-C to plants is very timely. Under the proposed project, Hi-C will be optimized for plant, and used to investigate the functional implications of chromosome packing in different genotypes and species. The first objective is to gain a comprehensive view of genome architecture in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and to compare it to that of other organisms. The second objective is to take the advantage of high-quality whole-genome assemblies of different strains of Arabidopsis thaliana as well as of close relative, to ascertain the impact of small- and large-scale structural variation on chromosome packing. These data will be integrated with functional studies, to determine cause and effect between chromosome packing and genome features such as local transcription and chromatin modification. The third and final aim is to study how quickly chromosome packing responds to stress adaptation, as a first step towards understanding the role of chromosome packing in dynamic events.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'QUANTUM DYNAMICS AND ENTANGLEMENT IN COMPLEX MANY-BODY SYSTEMS' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Innovation**

Quantum information science is a relatively young scientific discipline. However, the concepts and tools initially developed within this rapidly expanding field for the implementation of quantum computation have turned out very useful to provide both new physical insight and novel computational techniques relevant to different disciplines of physics. In this research project, we will extend these concepts and tools to the study of complex many-body systems, including condensed matter systems and chemical/biological complexes, from the perspective of identifying processes exhibiting quantum speedup and entanglement-based enhancement. We will investigate the relations between entanglement and the speedup of a quantum computation in condensed matter systems. Our aim is to characterize the possible functional role of coherence and entanglement for quantum enhancement in certain chemical/biological processes.""
