user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Renewable Electricity-Powered Plasma-Catalysis for CO2 Revalorization Process'.

assistant: **Concept**

The increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide call for urgent solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the shift toward a sustainable energy economy. REPCO2 (Renewable Electricity-Powered Plasma-Catalysis for CO2 Revalorization Process) is an interdisciplinary project that aims to develop new technology for CO2 valorization by creating innovative atmospheric pressure plasma configurations, exploring low-cost, environmentally friendly, and stable catalysts, and utilizing advanced in situ characterization under plasma conditions. Traditional thermal CO2 conversion methods typically require high temperatures and expensive catalysts, often containing precious metals. In contrast, non thermal plasma-catalysis offers a more energy-efficient and versatile alternative, operating under ambient conditions, such as room temperature and atmospheric pressure. In this way, inert molecules are activated by the plasma under mild conditions, and the resulting reactive species selectively recombine on the catalyst surface to form the desired products, thereby enhancing both chemical and energy yields. Rational design of catalysts tailored to the plasma environment, based on deep insights into the underlying mechanisms, is of particular interest as a novel approach. This requires fundamental studies to understand the potential synergy between plasma and catalyst. By optimizing the contributions of both plasma and catalysts, REPCO2 aims to increase reaction yields and promote the industrial application of atmospheric pressure plasma technology. The candidate will synthesize copper-based catalysts supported on zeolites. These plasma-catalyst systems will improve plasma-induced CO2 hydrogenation and dry reforming of methane (DRM) due to enhanced diffusion of reactants a

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Mobile wireless Device microcantilever-based biosensor to identify and measure the aflatoxin B1 in animal food and M1 in the milk-chain' (MEDIuM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Food safety is actually one of the most burning problems in the agro-food sector.The proposed feasibility study represents the first step to the development and commercialisation of a portable, mobile wireless device, cantilever-based nano-biosensor, to measure in field the B1, M1-aflatoxins to very low level values in animal feedstock and in the milk-chain.The aim is to give a dramatic innovative solution for solving all the problems connected with the high mycotoxins contamination levels checked in animal feed and milk and more in general in the food-chain (reduced growth and fertility, immunosuppression and increasing sensitivity to infections, gastroenteric disorders, ….). Mycotoxins represent a world-wide problem: 25% of cultivation in Europe is contaminated and more than 35% of imported raw material from the rest of the world, particularly from China. This problem could affect a potential market of 5 million farmers and 75000 animal feed producers in EuropeThe feasibility study output will concern the design of a device and its market positioning with the following innovative features, which are requested by the end-users:- in the field measurement, reliable, fast and easy, transportable. Actually, measurements are possible only in specific environments (i.e Chemical labs). Feed stock producers, breeders and more in general the farmers will be the potential customers.The feasibility study tackles 3 main areas :• Market and patent analysis, for a quick entry in the European market• User needs: a first set of recommendations has been already collected, but a further assessment of the user needs will be carried out, mainly thanks to the cooperation with end users.• Project technological feasibility: through the check of the technological key elements detailed in the

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'The causes and consequences of sex-differences in recombination rates and landscapes.'.

assistant: **Concept**

Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexual reproduction with great evolutionary importance. Its molecular mechanisms are remarkably conserved, yet its rates and distribution along chromosomes are hugely variable across eukaryotes. Understanding this diversity remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Individual sex is a major source of variation in autosomal recombination. This “heterochiasmy” can differ in direction and strength within and between closely related species, chromosomes, and genomic regions. Understanding its causes and consequences has direct importance for evolutionary and molecular biology, yet how and why heterochiasmy has evolved remains unknown. A major barrier is that evolutionary studies rarely consider that recombination occurs in distinct cellular processes (oogenesis vs. spermatogenesis), with striking sex-differences in its underlying genetic basis, genome structure, and fitness impacts. Therefore, understanding the causes and consequences of heterochiasmy is a crucial step to understanding the evolution of recombination itself.RECOSEX will be the first study to explicitly test hypotheses of heterochiasmy evolution. Our newly established model of recombination, the house sparrow, provides an unparalleled opportunity to link genetic variation, molecular function, and selection on heterochiasmy in a natural population. My team will capitalise on rapidly developing “multi-omic” technologies to reveal (i) the sequence-level landscape of heterochiasmy and its genomic and functional basis, (ii) fitness consequences and selection on recombination in both sexes, and (iii) the evolutionary dynamics of heterochiasmy across Passerine birds. RECOSEX will give new and comprehensive insights into a fundamental biological process direc

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Damage Controlled Composite Materials' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Society is dependent upon the continuous functioning of critical infrastructures such as road bridges and energy supply. These infrastructures are exposed to high loads and harsh environmental conditions through their lifetime in operation and materials failures lead to down time having vast negative effects on productivity and well-being in society in terms of lost time, shortened life cycles and increased service costs. So engineers face the challenge to develop durable materials compatible with industrial standards in an economically viable way. Composites represent attractive materials and are increasingly used for such applications since they demonstrate low weight, high strength and stiffness and high environmental resistance. However composites suffer from sudden brittle failure mainly due to production defects and handling damages; this is currently handled by strict quality and process control from manufacturers, resulting in high production costs which can represent a barrier to introduction and development of composites in a wide range of applications. The general objective of DACOMAT is to develop more damage tolerant and damage predictable low cost composite materials in particular aimed for used in large load carrying constructions like bridges, buildings, wind-turbine blades and off shore structures. The developed materials and condition monitoring solutions will enable composite structures to be designed and manufactured as large parts allowing for more and larger manufacturing defects and the need for manual inspection to be dramatically reduced. A demonstration of the materials’ performances in relevant environment will be conducted in two business cases: wind turbine blades and road bridge beams, while both LCC and LCA analysis will also strengthen th

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Voice for Information Society Universal Access and Learning'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of this project is to develop voice-based technology in order to improve the access of visually impaired people to the information society. Information will be offered not only as a graphic interface but using voice. The use of VoiceXML technology ensure that the information will reach the user without time losses and totally independent of the graphic interface and the accessing device. Although oriented to visually impaired people, the same development can be use for everybody. Also, any page already designed will be easily adapted to our voice solution, keeping the same structure and richness and in different official languages of the European Union. An e-learning portal oriented to visually impaired people will be designed as a test of the solution.DESCRIPTION OF WORKWork is divided into supportive/horizontal and technical/scientific work packages (WP). The Consortium's members have designed the project into 7 work packages to divide the complexity of the work appropriately. Each work package has a verifiable end-point. Technical work is dedicated to the development of VISUAL tool and e-learning portal. After a first analysis and definition of test scenarios, existing data, and documents together with a risk analysis, the work will concentrate on the development of the following modules:WP1 USER REQUIREMENTS OF ACCESSIBILITY AND WEB AUTHORING TOOLWP2 PLUGINS FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION AND SYNTHESIS INTEGRATIONWP3 TOOL DEVELOPMENTWP4 CREATION OF AN ACCESSIBLE LEARNING PORTALWP5 EVALUATION WP6 DISSEMINATION, STANDARDIZATION AND EXPLOITATIONWP7 PROJECT MANAGEMENTA first effort in Work package 3 (Tool Development) will be dedicated to purely technical work and will start before the end of work packages 1 and 2 (User requirements, and integration of plug-ins).

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Real Time COordination and control of Multiple heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehiclES' (COMETS).

assistant: **Innovation**

This project aims at the development of technologies and tools for real-time coordination and control of multiple heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It will exploit the complementarities of different aerial systems (helicopters and airships) in missions where the only way to guarantee the success is the cooperation between several vehicles and where each aerial system can benefit from the data gathered by the other. This approach leads to redundant solutions offering greater fault tolerance and flexibility. The project will demonstrate the capabilities of the system in real-time forest fire detection and monitoring. Major innovations will be a multi-UAV decentralized control system, new hybrid control architecture, new UAV control techniques, real-time fault tolerance communications, cooperative environment perception, and a new relevant application.Objectives:The main objective of COMETS is to design and implement a distributed control system for cooperative detection and monitoring using heterogeneous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Particularly, both helicopters and airships will be included. In order to achieve this general objective, the project will design and implement a new control architecture, will develop new control techniques, and will integrate distributed sensing techniques and real-time image processing capabilities. In order to test and validate these concepts and systems, COMETS will demonstrate the system in forest fire detection, localisation and monitoring. This is a very challenging mission in which the cooperation of the UAVs is very valuable.Work description:The Workprogramme consist of 7 Workpackages: Management, Specifications, Architecture (design, development, communications, and interaction and cooperation paradigms), Central re

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Multi-scale Modelling of Mechanical Damage to Tomatoes'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The quality of fruit such as tomatoes can be reduced substantially by mechanical damage e.g. by poor handling during and post-harvesting. Damage manifested at the whole fruit or macro-scale is caused by failure of cells at the micro-scale, although cells in different tissues (meso-scale) react differently to external forces. Not much is known about how the mechanics of tomatoes across the scales can be correlated and how external forces cause damage to single cells internally. Therefore, the scientific aim of this Fellowship is to model the multi-scale mechanics of tomatoes to provide a tool for investigating internal damage to tomatoes caused by external forces during handling and processing.The first step will be to investigate the multi-scale anatomy of tomatoes. The multi-scale mechanical behavior of tomatoes, their component tissues, and the cells within those tissues will then be characterized. Such anatomical and mechanical data have never been determined fully for one fruit at one time and therefore existing data cannot be used to develop multi-scale mechanical models. The third step will be to develop and validate a multi-scale finite element model using a novel, user-defined 3D cell element type that will allowing all scales to be represented in a single model. Finally, internal mechanical damage to tomatoes caused by externally applied forces in compression tests of whole fruit will be simulated.This Fellowship will provide a valuable tool for investigating mechanical damage to tomatoes caused by external forces during handling and processing. Besides its scientific value, this project will have an impact of the economic efficiency of the European Union. It will be the basis for long-term collaborations between the University of Birmingham, UK and Henan Polyt

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'A training network for the design of new synthetic carbohydrate-based vaccines to combat antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa' (PAVax).

assistant: **Concept**

PAVax is a network that will train 4 early-stage researchers (ESRs) on the conception of new synthetic vaccines to combat the antibiotic resistant bacterium Pseudomionas aeruginosa (PA), for which there currently is no adequate vaccine available. This consortium will explore and exploit the use of PA-exopolysaccharides that play a key role in biofilm formation that protects the bacterium from its environment: alginate, Psl and Pel. We will exploit these saccharides to generate novel vaccines targeting these exposed polysaccharides. Next to the isolation of these polysaccharides from the bacteria, we will employ synthetic chemistry to deliver well-defined fragments of these polysaccharides. These will be used to map the interactions of the saccharides with antibodies to inform on the structure of the optimal epitope. We will conjugate the (synthetic) fragments to newly discovered PA proteins to generate conjugate vaccines targeting multiple PA entities. The consortium is formed by an academic partner, Leiden University (NL) and an industrial partner, GSK Vaccines, Siena (IT), harnessing the complementary expertise of both partners to achieve the ambitious goals set. The close collaboration between the two partners will ensure training of the ESRs at the highest level and best synergy possible. The ESRs will receive intersectorial, international and interdisciplinary training in (synthetic) carbohydrate chemistry, vaccine design, protein chemistry and conjugation, biophysical interaction studies, and immunology. With the ever-growing awareness of the importance of carbohydrates in health and disease, and the continuous threat of multidrug resistant bacteria, the skill set acquired by the ESRs will prepare them to face the major scientific and societal challenges ahead and

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Synthesis of Novel Oxide Materials' (SONOMA).

assistant: **Concept**

This project will pioneer new synthetic strategies to access oxygen-intercalated and highly oxidized layered nickelates, a class of metastable compounds with strong potential for high-temperature superconductivity and energy applications. Building on my expertise in thin-film synthesis and advanced characterization, I will employ topochemical oxidation with ozone and complementary soft-chemical methods to stabilize nickelates in unusually high oxidation states. Structural and electronic properties will be mapped using state-of-the-art diffraction, spectroscopy, and transport techniques, advancing fundamental understanding of correlated electron systems. The fellowship will be hosted at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof. Michael Hayward, an international leader in soft-chemistry synthesis, ensuring a strong two-way transfer of knowledge between solid-state chemistry and thin-film physics. The project will deliver new scientific insights into nickel–oxygen hybridization at extreme valences, expand the design principles for metastable oxides, and open pathways for applications in superconductivity, catalysis, and ion-based electronics. Results will be disseminated through high-impact publications, international conferences, and open-science practices. The fellowship will also enhance my career development through interdisciplinary training, mentoring, and leadership opportunities, positioning me as a leading independent researcher at the interface of physics, chemistry, and materials science.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'A platform for the generation of human gametes in vitro' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

According to the World Health Organization, infertility is a medical condition that affects up to 14% of couples under reproductive age. The increase in infertility has led to the exponential rise in the use of assisted reproduction as a route for conceiving a baby, currently representing 1.5% of children born in Europe. Although multiple factors may contribute to infertility, the limited availability of human gametes for its study restricts the capacity of researchers in establishing the causes of this decline. To address this limitation, a talented Fellow with background in physiology of reproduction will join a leading laboratory in developmental biology to conduct multidisciplinary research aimed at developing a platform for the generation of human gametes in the laboratory. A combination of state-of-the-art tools in genomics and cell biology will be used to gain new understanding of how gamete precursors form in vivo, and this knowledge will be used to develop culture systems to generate gametes in vitro. These approaches will equip the Fellow with comprehensive new skills essential for fulfilling these objectives. The transfer of knowledge builds on the host’s expertise in animal biotechnology, the provision of interdisciplinary training in human stem cell differentiation by collaborators, and on the Fellow’s knowledge of reproductive biology. The output of the project will address key societal challenges for the EU in the areas of Health, demographic change and well-being and will contribute to the expansion of the network of experts in biotechnology.
