user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'New Industrial Processes for Leather Tanning Using Non-Pollutant Natural Principles' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Tanning is at the basis of an extensive chain of industries forming a dense tissue of activities all related to the valorisation of animal skins, among them: shoe, clothing, leather goods, furniture, morocco goods, etc. These industrial sectors often constitutes the principal source for the generation of employment at local and regional level. Production of leather has taken a growing importance in the economies of developing countries and Newly Industrialised Countries. Leather production has shifted to these regions were low cost labour is easily available and where environmental factors are considered of a secondary importance, with a consequent reduction of around 1.000 enterprises and 30.000 workers since 1980. Most of this loss has concentrated in Northern European countries, specially in Germany. European tanning industry has reacted changing quantity by quality. EU tanners are adjusting their production to fulfil higher quality standards and the design content in leathers, specialising in some particularly demanding niche markets requiring outstanding technological control of the process or vision of future market trends On the other hand, Western consumer trends towards more natural products is a development which should favour leather against man made materials.Finally, the directive Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) to be applied to new installations from October 1999 and to existing installations from October 2007, needs a RTD effort of the leather tanning sector to which this project will contribute The main industrial and economic objectives can be summarised as follows: . Develop a process based in vegetal principles capable of differentiating European leathers from others using less environmentally friendly principles, thus approaching t

user: Describe how 'Fast algorithms in cosmology and the study of dark energy' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The full exploitation of science data is being impeded by statistical and computational intractability. Cosmologists are now deluged by large, complex datasets, and the scientific value of these data is presently lessened by the laborious efforts needed to analyse them. The primary goal of this project is to tackle this problem through the combination of new computer science and statistics by developing, and deploying on the Grid, efficient algorithms for the analysis of massive cosmological datasets e.g. fast, tree-based versions of the n-point correlation functions and Kernel density estimation. A secondary goal is the use of these algorithms to obtain more precise measurements of the dark energy content of the Universe, particularly as a function of red shift. Such measurements will provide critical constraints on the origin of dark energy: one of the biggest conundrums in science.This will be achieved using these new catalogues of galaxies and quasars from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This pro ject will be done in collaboration with the US Virtual Observatory, UK AstroGrid, the department of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) and the Pittsburgh Computational AstroStatistics (PiCA) group. Such multi-disciplinary research facilitates new fundamental physics and demonstrates the synergy between statistics, computer science and astrophysics. The algorithms and techniques developed during this project will also be invaluable to other areas of science and industry e.g. biology, manufacturing.Dr. Robert Nichol is a recognized leader in the development of data-mining algorithms for massive astronomical datasets. He returns to the UK (ICG) after 12 years in the US. The ICG has offered him a permanent position, and is committed to support the project

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Silicon compatible opto-electronics'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of integrated optoelectronic devices in silicon. In particular, the optimisation of the performances of light sources, devices for signal handling (waveguides, optical amplifiers, switches, etc.) and detectors realised with VLSI-compatible Si technology will be carried out. Moreover, the possibility of integrating the different components within a single chip will be investigated.The SCOOP partners are thoroughly convinced that the combination of the excellent capability of information processing guaranteed by the electronic functions of silicon together with the unrivalled properties of information transmission by optocommunication will lead to useful commercial devices, wherever this technology can be demonstrated. It is the conviction of the SCOOP partners that silicon technology will remain the undisputed leader in microelectronics for many decades. We believe that some optocommunication functions may be realised in full compatibility with silicon VLSI technology. At present, we are working on five different functions: light sources, modulators, amplifiers, waveguides and detectors. The SCOOP partners have combined their strengths, skills and resources to develop their full synergetic power in one common project.We will mainly focus on the development of optoelectronic circuits operating at 1.54 µm. Since we have already developed efficient Er-doped Si LEDs and optical amplifiers, the final goal will pursued by:- Improvement of the design of the discrete optical functions aimed to: a) achieve better performances in terms of efficiency and miniaturization; b) guarantee mutual compatibility, a necessary step towards integration. - Achievement of wavelength compatibility between the different devices by de

user: Describe how 'Innovative Laser and Fiber System for Non-Toxic, Efficient and Cost-Effective Treatment of Cancer' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Our aim with this proposal is to bring the desired technology for a non-toxic, efficient and cost-effective cancer treatment. Basically, all cytotoxic drugs (chemotherapy) and radiation lead to apoptosis, the programmed cell death of tumor cells. These techniques on the other hand have well documented side effects like losing hair, teeth, damaged quality of life effecting lives of more than 14M cancer patients and their families worldwide. LoF revolutionizes ""non-toxic"" cancer treatment with her innovative laser probes and systems serving oncologists tasked with saving lives by developing and applying the most effective therapies. Our state-of-the-art laser probes and systems form a feedback loop and enable oncologists for the “first time” to monitor absorbed dose to the tissue in real time which is decisive for the treatment efficacy. Cancer cost the EU €126 billion in 2013, with health care accounting for €51 billion (40% of the total cost) for post-treatments. EU needs better, effective solutions to drive costs down. With our solution which is the subject of this proposal we offer a potential cost-saving of 60%. The market potential for the envisaged the clinical applications is based on current cases at around 2.24 billion euros worldwide. Our innovation opens the door to new treatment applications and could be used to treat up to 5 million people per year from 2022.""

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Where do the birds go? Multi-isotopic tracing of European-breeding migratory birds'.

assistant: **Objectives**

In order to quantify the effects of climate change and habitat destruction on bird migration routes, we require a reliable and non-fatal method of locating the end-points of migratory birds. There is also a vital need to accurately establish the origins of migratory birds to better monitor and control the dispersion of zoonotic diseases, such as avian flu. Traditional bird ringing methods have very low recovery rates and radio-satellite transmitters are only suitable for large-size bird species. This multi-disciplinary project is designed to test the veracity of combined state-of-the-art radiogenic (Sr-Pb) and stable (δD-δ18O- δ13C-δ15N) isotope analysis of bird feathers to monitor migration. Feathers are keratine-based tissues that are inert after growth and their isotopic signature will record a signal indicative of the environment of their production. We will study European-breeding Pied and Collared Flycatchers that migrate to Africa in winter. Feathers have been collected from 23 different sites across Europe during the breeding season and by sampling different parts of the plumage, feathers produced on both breeding and wintering grounds are collected simultaneously. To ground-truth the multi-isotope approach, we will undertake a detailed study of feathers from the island of Gotland (Sweden), which has a varied but well mapped geology. The isotopic signatures of feathers will be compared to environment indicators such as rainwater, soils, bird prey and vegetation. This will determine which environmental proxies best correlate with the bird feathers and the spatial/geographical resolution of Sr-Pb isotope ratios. Subsequently, studies of feathers from Europe will establish if the technique can distinguish breeding European locations and constrain the wintering loca

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'External Stimuli Triggered Self-assembly of Dynamic Nanomaterials' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The emerging interest in hybrid materials whose properties can be significantly changed in a controllable fashion by external stimuli (ES) is the result from their increasing potential applications in a variety of areas including energy conversion, drug-delivery systems, hybrid electronics and catalysis. The external control of self-assembling systems has attracted considerable interest, as it does not require additional components and triggering can be easily achieved in a completely remote manner where and when required.The main goal of this proposal comprises the development of multi-stimuli (i.e. light, electrochemical, temperature) responsive supramolecular systems based on semiconducting and metal nanoparticles (NPs) and their subsequent use in the reversible, controlled assembly of organic-inorganic architectures in water. This will be accomplished by employing one of the most promising self-assembly motifs based on the barrel-shaped cyclic oligomer of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) that can bind within its cavity ES-responsive molecules, i.e. derivatives of viologen (MV) and/or photochromic second guest molecules displaying light-control binding affinity for a MV•CB[8] complex.In the first stage of the project a variety of NPs functionalized by ES-sensitive derivatives will be prepared, which will be further used as nanostructured building units for ES-triggered self-assembly/dissembly of supramolecular discrete NPs systems and complex organic-inorganic networks. The inherent part of the research will be characterization of properties and phenomena occurring within the obtained nanoparticulate assemblies. The initiatives of the project encompass problems across the fields of inorganic chemistry, host-quest interactions, self-assembly processes, materials science, as we

user: Explain how 'Facilitating Research Co-operation between Europe and New Zealand' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The FRENZ platform supports the EU-NZ S&T partnership with initiatives to highlight existing S&T co-operation between the EU and New Zealand (NZ); and improve this co-operation by enhancing the quality, quantity, visibility and effectiveness of future actions. Developing a DG RELEX preparatory activity, FRENZ proposes to deliver information and assistance to researchers; and facilitate EU-NZ policy dialogue in jointly defined areas of strategic EU-NZ research importance.  A suite of seven highly integrated and interdependent Workpackages is proposed to remove impediments to the integration of the NZ research community in FP7 activities of mutual interest, and achieve the specific objectives of: * Increasing EU-NZ researcher links * Better identifying and demonstrating EU-NZ co-operation * Improving the process of providing information on S&T systems, programmes and funding to promote EU-NZ co-operation, and * Exchanging best practices and exploring prospects for future co-operation  Deliverables from each workpackage will impact on the others in a circular process whereby tools and fora determine the basis for policy dialogue; policy dialogue influences those fields of common interest; and fields of common interest require tools and fora to facilitate co-operation.  Thus the workpackages seek will deliver: * An integrated ‘one stop shop’ web portal on EU-NZ S&T co-operation - Web site - Email updates * A central ‘Helpdesk’ facility, underpinned by activities on-site in key research organizations across NZ * A series of themed extended workshops (‘sandpits’), allowing interested stakeholders to develop innovative research solutions to key issues of mutual EU-NZ interest * A database of EU-NZ collaborations and mobility, plus indicators of success, to develop a toolkit fo

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Unravelling biophysical signals governing phytohormone production and plant acclimation'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Both animals and plants produce potently active mediators in response to tissue injury. These oxygenated lipid derivatives include leukotrienes and prostaglandins in animals, and jasmonates (JAs) in plants with JA-Ile serving as the bioactive phytohormone in angiosperms. JAs are synthesized from poly unsaturated fatty acids residing in plant-specific plastidial membranes, and are essential to protect plants against numerous biotic and abiotic challenges including insect herbivory and temperature extremes. Despite the vital roles of JAs in sustaining plant fitness and although JA-Ile biosynthesis and signalling are well characterized, it is still unknown how are damage signals transmitted to plastids to initiate phytohormone production and what is the nature of the transmitted signal(s). Our previous work in Arabidopsis uncovered that osmotically-induced turgor pressure changes elicit JA-Ile biosynthesis. We hence hypothesise that JA-Ile biosynthesis initiation may result from the transmission of mechanical signals through tissues and cell compartments leading to biophysical changes of plastidial membranes granting substrate accessibility to JA biosynthesis enzymes. To address these central questions in plant biology we aim to:1. Quantify the mechanical forces and osmotic pressure changes required to induce JA biosynthesis2. Characterize cellular events that transduce mechanical and osmotic stress signals to plastids for JA-Ile precursor production 3. Alter plastidial biophysical parameters and study the consequences on JA-Ile precursor production 4. Identify genetic components involved in sensing and decoding biophysical stimuli for JA-Ile productionThis proposal thus intends to fill a critical gap in knowledge on stress phytohormone biology regulating plant acclimation

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Mechanically Responsive Polymers' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

“Intelligent” polymers which change their properties “on command”, that is upon exposure to a pre-defined stimulus in a highly selective and reversible manner, are of considerable academic interest and attractive for countless technologically relevant applications. Many examples of chemically, thermally, electrically, optically, or electrically responsive materials are known, but only few polymers have been studied, which respond in a useful and predictable manner to the exposure of mechanical stress.The here-proposed program targets the design, synthesis, processing, exploration and exploitation of a radically new family of bio-inspired, mechanically responsive polymers in which mechanical stress provides the activation energy to trigger specific pre-programmed chemical reactions. These reactions, in turn, will be used to bestow polymers with unusual and previously unavailable functionalities, such as mechanical morphing, mechanically induced generation of light, mechanically controlled cell growth, auto-lubricating behavior, and the ability to release small molecules such as drugs, fragrances and antiseptics.A three-pronged research approach is proposed. Thrust 1 will investigate carefully selected model systems with the aim to advance the predictive understanding for the relationships between the chemical structure of the mechanically responsive motifs or “mechanophores”, their connectivity with a matrix polymer, the morphology and mechanical properties of the system, and the mechanoresponse. Thrust 2 focuses on the exploration of new mechanophores and mechanochemical transduction schemes. Thrust 3 will apply the knowledge generated for the creation of novel materials that offer a wide variety of new and interesting functionalities.The knowledge generated through the
