user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Benthic Iron Cycling in Oxygen Minimum Zones and Implications for Ocean Biogeochemistry' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Iron (Fe) supply is the limiting factor for primary productivity over vast areas of the modern ocean. In the classical view, river runoff and wind-blown terrestrially derived dust are considered the main sources of bio-available Fe to the ocean. Another, yet poorly constrained source is the reductive recycling of Fe from marine sediments in oxygen-depleted ocean regions, the so-called oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). Anthropogenically induced eutrophication and climate change have caused a significant expansion of OMZs over the last decades. This continuing process of ocean de-oxygenation has the potential to modulate ocean fertility through time, as it enhances the recycling efficiency of bio-available Fe at the seafloor. The exploration of this largely disregarded link in the global Fe cycle is the aim of the present proposal entitled “BICYCLE – Benthic Iron Cycling in Oxygen Minimum Zones and Implications for Ocean Biogeochemistry”.Iron concentrations and Fe isotopes, a novel tracer for Fe source signatures in natural systems, will be analysed in sediments and pore waters across the Peru upwelling area, one of the most extended and dynamic OMZs of the modern ocean. The joint evaluation of reactive Fe contents and Fe isotope signatures in sedimentary archives will yield a quantitative estimate of the various Fe fluxes into and out of the OMZ since the last glacial maximum. Comparing Fe proxies with other tracers for marine conditions will help to explain how benthic Fe cycling may interact with marine productivity, continental weathering and redox conditions over contemporary and paleo timescales. The empirical concepts gained from that will be tested through application of numerical models simulating benthic Fe cycling and Fe export as function of changing environmental

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'New elemental and molecular depth profiling analysis of advanced materials by modulated radio frequency glow discharge time of flight mass spectrometry' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

EMDPA will provide research laboratories and industry with a unique multi-dimensional" analysis tool of all types of layered materials, allowing direct, simultaneous elemental and molecular quantitative measurements with a sensitivity down to 100 ppb in t he depth profiling mode for all elements of the Periodic Table, in observed zones of millimetre dimensions, through the development of a Micro Modulated or Pulsed Radio Frequency Glow Discharge Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer. Such instrument represents a major breakthrough as it will change the way surface and depth profiling analysis is regarded, being ultra fast, easy to use and low cost. The instrument is dedicated to the depth profiling of advanced materials made of conductive and/or non-conductive thin layers down to the nanometre scale.The development of such a radically new analytical instrument requires the understanding of key-phenomena:- Understanding/modelling of the sputtering mechanisms and ionisation processes- Characterization of sputtered surfaces and understanding/modelling molecular chemistry in plasmas- Ion transport phenomena and detection methods- Assessment of performance propertiesThe European critical mass proposed is a cross multidisciplinary consortium gathering 10 multi-disciplinary organisations coming from 5 different member states (France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain), with 1 associated country (Switzerland) and 1 candidate country (Romania). The partnership embraces experts in plasma physics/chemistry and plasma-surface interactions (CPAT, NILPRP, UNICT), renowned groups in GD-MS design, chemometrics and data handling (ISAS, UNIOVI, EMPA), a recognised research centre with expertise in all aspects of material sciences (UoM), a provider of innovative TOF MS technologies (TW) and a large co

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Gold(I)-Catalyzed Polymerization of Acetylene Gas' (GASGOLD) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

GASGOLD aims for the development of efficient Au(I)-catalysed methodologies for the challenging intermolecular synthesis of important monomers, oligomers and polymers of acetylene gas. Au(I)-catalysts allow for the formation of cyclopropyl Au(I)-carbenes after reaction with an alkyne and alkene. The carbenes are reactive towards rearrangement to form 1,3-dienes, which are important building blocks for a range of natural and other important products, such as synthetic rubbers. Preliminary results show that further reaction of certain 1,3-dienes with acetylene can occur, forming oligomeric derivatives and this reactivity will be harnessed and further exploited in this project. Initially, the development of an effective protocol for the synthesis of a wider range and more challenging substituted 1,3-dienes from acetylene gas, both in monomeric and oligomeric forms, will be established. The reaction mechanism determining the configuration of the alkenes will be studied, for example by kinetic monitoring and isolation of reaction intermediates, to explain the observed selectivity, potentially synthesise other isomers and improve on the reaction conditions and catalyst design. The initial results will inspire the challenging selective expansion of 1,3-dienes with acetylene to form substituted 1,3,5-hexatrienes. Additionally, the unprecedented use of both acetylene and ethylene gas in Au(I)-catalysis will be explored for the synthesis of polyacetylene derivatives, which are highly important materials with electrical conductivity, as well as in the purification of ethylene gas. The development of this project offers an innovative solution for the long-standing problem of utilising acetylene gas as a simple building block in Au(I)-catalysis, offering a clear advantage over the c

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Fast Mapping: How to acquire new declarative memories independently from the Hippocampus?' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Current theories of declarative memory suggest that it is supported by two complementary memory systems: the medial temporal lobe (MTL) which specializes in rapid acquisition of novel associations and the neocortex, which slowly learns through environmental regularities. Gilboa et al. recently reported an extraordinary phenomenon of rapid acquisition of novel arbitrary associations by adults with severe anterograde amnesia due to extensive MTL lesions. These data challenge the accepted view of dual declarative memory systems and offer a radically different mechanism for directly acquiring semantics without enlisting the hippocampus: the Fast Mapping. Fast Mapping refers to a process that supports vocabulary acquisition among children who do not have a mature hippocampus. They actively infer the meaning of novel words by generating hypotheses based on contextual cues or on the way the words are used in a sentence.By using a multidisciplinary approach, this project aims at highlighting the neural substrates and the cognitive mechanisms underlying this type of learning.First, we will explore the neural basis of FM by a clinical approach. We will contrast the performance of patients whose pathology primarily involves the Anterior Temporal Lobe (Semantic Dementia) with that of patients with more pronounced Medial Temporal Lobe pathology (Alzheimer’s disease).In a second experiment we will use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in order to highlight the brain regions that are involved in the FM learning.Experiments 3 and 4 aim at investigating the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying FM. Using a Bayesian framework, we will try to demonstrate how knowledge and inference are used in combination with repeated exposures to guide people in learning new words. We will also use MEG t

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Development of an innovative, cost-effective technology to produce halogen-free, high-performance flame retarded poliolefins (flaretpol)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Plastic applications such as indoor elements of vehicles or aircrafts require flame retardancy to improve survivability. Emission of smoke or toxic gases should be also suppressed, making undesirable the use of some of the most efficient flame retardants, brominated compounds, which are even the object of European bans. Flame-retarded polypropylenes are highly sought due to the outstanding characteristics of PP, the fastest growing commodity plastic. The most promising flame retardant for polypropylene is magnesium hydroxide (MH), stable at PP processing temperatures and leading to harmless combustion products. Unfortunately, MH must be used in large amounts leading to a loss of processability and mechanical properties. The aim of Flaretpol is to achieve MH /PP composites with flame retarding behaviour, but much improved regarding processability and mechanical properties. Target properties for MH/PP will be V0 (UL94), stress at failure>16 MPa, strain>5%, E=1000 MPa, Impact>22.5 J/m, and success will be demonstrated by production of cables, profiles and car details. Sophisticated MH surface engineering techniques will be used, including direct coupling to the MH of tailor-made reactive peroxide oligomers (route 1), creation of a nano-sized tailored pol ymer layer around the MH (route 2) and combination of MH treated by routes 1 and 2 with treated nano-clay (route 3). The most relevant milestones include success in the filler treatment at laboratory level, successful industrial upscaling, production of c ables, profiles and car details fulfilling specifications and demonstration of economic and environmental feasibility of the products and processes developed. The proponent consortium comprises 7 industries, 4 research organisations and 1 University from 7 European countr

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Added-value bioprocessing for Fish raw materials via low-cost Fermentation technologies delivering a PLUS in the sustainable production, consumer safety and quality of highly sensitive fish products'.

assistant: **Concept**

FishFermPlus targets to support the economic viability and resource-efficiency of SMEs in fish/seafood value chains. Under-utilised, high-quality raw materials from capture fishery and aquaculture production (e.g. homogenised fish flesh from fillet production) will be used for a novel fermentation process with higher cost-efficiency and a more simple implementation than previous mere extraction/purification methods. Instead of isolating components, FishFermPlus will generate multifunctional, fish-tailored ingredients, which will deliver in particular antilisterial/antimicrobial activity and flavour enhancing or texturising properties. SMEs will generate income from the by-product valorisation and the marketing of safe, naturally processed high-quality fish and seafood products with prolonged shelf-life, better palatability and thus higher consumer acceptance. They will benefit from an increased process and food safety control – especially against Listeria monocytogenes which constitutes a main microbial risk in ready-to-eat seafood. SMEs in the processing and ingredients branch will increase their business by producing custom-tailored equipment and compounds. This will be achieved by a concerted applied research program involving 2 RTDs and 4 SME companies from 4 European countries who are dedicated (a) to develop a bioprocessing method under optimal fermentation conditions and process control; (b) to tailor adequate downstream processing to stabilise the processed materials and their functionality; (c) to apply the ingredients for a fish product range that achieves additional product-safety (assessed via viable counts, challenge tests, risk modeling), prolonged shelf-life (microbial, sensory) and high consumer acceptance (preference & concept testing); (d) to criticall

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Automated Image Analysis for High-Throughput Single Molecule Analysis of Biomolecules'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Project Virgil aims to revolutionize single-molecule analysis by developing automated, high-throughput image-to-structure software for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) images. This innovative technology addresses a critical bottleneck in biomolecular research: the low data throughput and time-consuming manual interpretation of SPM images. Building on recent breakthroughs in direct SPM imaging of single biomolecules, Project Virgil aims to create a parallel-computing program to interpret SPM images of individual macrobiomolecules into atomic-level structures. The software aims to be stable, versatile, and scalable, capable of analyzing a wide range of biomolecules up to few hundred thousands of atoms. Key activities include building the base program, implementing parallel computing, developing an IP strategy, and formulating a commercialization plan. Project Virgil main innovation lies in enabling first-time access to many previously inaccessible (bio)chemical structures and providing a single molecule analysis platform that far exceeds current manual capabilities. By enabling high-throughput single-molecule analysis, Project Virgil has significant potential across structural biology, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology sectors, in reducing costs, accelerating drug discovery, and advancing personalized medicine. Project Virgil combines cutting-edge science with strategic commercialization planning, aiming to translate innovative research into a commercially viable product with significant impact on single molecule analysis. This project has the potential to reinforce European technological leadership and open new avenues for tackling important scientific and societal challenges at the single molecule level.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Unravelling Multi-scale Oral Lubrication Mechanisms (macro-to-nano): A Novel Strategy to Target Satiety' (LubSat).

assistant: **Innovation**

Obesity is a serious form of malnutrition that is known to have substantial morbidity and mortality consequences. Hence, to directly promote weight management, there is an immense need to design satiety-enhancing foods that terminate appetite for longer periods after consumption. Although the concept of “satiety cascade” was proposed nearly 20 years ago, the changing dynamics of food properties in the oral mucosa remains the greatest source of uncertainty in food design. In particular, our quantitative multi-scale understanding of lubrication of the human salivary film when exposed to stimuli from food biomolecules, which in turn can have significant appetite suppression consequences, remains poorly understood. The key limitation to accurately measure oral lubrication is the lack of tribo-contact surfaces that effectively emulate the oral surfaces (i.e. the soft, slippery mucous-coated human tongue and the upper palate).I intend to address these deficiencies by proposing a whole hierarchy of scales (from human scale down to nanometres). To do so, I will use a unique combination of in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches to quantitatively establish molecular mechanisms of salivary lubrication and its psychological and physiological consequences. In order to determine the true oral lubrication mechanism of food-saliva mixtures, I propose to develop and deploy new instrument based on novel 3D printing coupled with both surface-patterning and unique biochemical functionalization to emulate the surface topologies and chemistries of oral environments at macro-to-nano scales. The ground-breaking nature of the project will be to discover how food-mediated alteration of salivary lubricity will result in enhanced satiety perception for longer periods. This will bring the par

user: Draft an impact statement for 'TAILORING THE ONION CROP FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH QUALITY FRESH AND PROCESSED ONIONS', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

BackgroundOnion (Allium cepa L.) is the most widely cultivated horticultural crop in Europe. The annual production is gradually increasing and is now about 5 X 106 ton. The consumption of onion products is considered a growth market. Europe is not self sufficient in onions; we import sweet onion, and also dried onion products.To take advantage of this potential market opportunities for increasing the quality of the onion crop need to be identified and exploited. For onion, flavours and carbohydrates are the most important components of the internal quality. To meet the demands of the consumer, an improved control of these constituents is needed both for the processing and the fresh market. However, our knowledge concerning these factors is limited and this limitation severely constrains our ability to influence quality components.The objective of this proposal is the improvement of onion in fresh and dried form in order to meet the demands of the common EC market, to increase the competitiveness of European onions in global trade, and to comply with the EC policy of environment protection. The object is to increase our self sufficiency contributing also to product quality and diversification.Short description of the projectThe proposal has four interrelated objectives :1. To evaluate 90 geographically and physiologically different accessions of onion and 10 of the 600 wild species most closely related to onion for quality traits, especially high dry matter & low reducing sugar content and low pyruvate and low thiosulfinates content. The evaluation will lead to a highly efficient working collection.2. To make pairwise crosses between the 10 most diverse parents found in 1. and thus develop markers for quality and a high density linkage map.3. Testing the same parental ma
