user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'IST-BONUS: Identify and support research and business excellence to enhance NMS - ACC participation in the development and pilot implementation-demonstration of ICT business applications and services'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The major objective of IST-BONUS is to upgrade the participation of organisations from the NMS and ACC to the IST Priority both in quantitative and qualitative terms, particularly regarding two wide areas: e-business and e-working technologies and related state-of-the-art applications; which can have significant impact on Europe's competitiveness, sustainability and societal cohesion. IST-BONUS aims to facilitate the transition of competent NMS and ACC organizations from 'research followers' (that is partners with low capability to influence research course) to 'research leaders' (coordinators or major partners of RTD projects).To achieve this ambitious endeavour IST-BONUS implements actions sufficiently including:- 'conventional' activities - targeting to a large number of interested organisations and- 'go beyond' activities based on a set of 'Research BONUS' Services (Audits, SWOTs, PR research profiles, Action plans and Roadmaps to excellence in IST, networking with EU-15 research leaders and EC services) - targeting to a selective number of highly motivated and competent organisations.The 'conventional' activities will concentrate on increasing participation mainly in quantitative terms. Under this approach, activities escalate in 3 levels of maturity:- Promotion / publicity and awareness creation,- Info-days, tutorials and- Networking / brokerage events within the context of international IST conferences.The 'go beyond' activities will focus particularly on qualitative terms targeting to increase the number of- highly networked organisations from the NMS and ACC,- major research players and- competent coordinators focusing primarily on IPs and NoE.The project is supported by a web-portal including a user-oriented database to facilitate, networking and providing val

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Contrasting adaptive and non-adaptive radiations in Indo-Pacific ""rats"": testing alternative evolutionary models for a hyperdiverse region""' (CANARIP-RAT) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Over the last 25 million years, the Indo-Pacific ""rats"" have undergone an explosive radiation. Their diversification has resulted in taxa with (i) a wide (putatively adaptive) and (ii) narrow (putatively non-adaptive) range of morphological disparity with or without clear ecological divergence. Adaptive and non-adaptive radiations have been replicated in three Indo-Pacific archipelagos (Philippines, Sulawesi, Papua-New Guinea), making these rodents a highly informative, yet largely unexplored evolutionary model. This evolutionary and ecological project will constitute a unique opportunity to understand the evolution of mammalian morphology in an island model as well as to understand the link between form, function, diversification patterns, and ecological divergence. This research will provide three main contributions relative to the emergence of ecomorphological diversity during both adaptive and non-adaptive radiations: (1) building an unique ecomorphological dataset for Indo-Pacific ""rats"" to investigate the evolution of form in our model system and exploring the link between functional morphology and ecological divergence, (2) using phylogenetic and ecomorphological frameworks to track variation in the diversification rate and in the rate of morphological evolution of species with different ecologies, and (3) simultaneously using ecomorphological, phylogenetic and macroecological datasets to understand community assembly during adaptive and non-adaptive radiations. Harvard University and Ecole Polytechnique has a great tradition of using large datasets to answer questions pertaining to patterns of evolution and ecology. Thus, the combination of a well sampled molecular and morphological framework including more than 300 “rats”, and both institutions with a histo

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'PINE SAWFLY PHEROMONES FOR SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF EUROPEAN FORESTS'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Background :Different species of pines constitute an important part of the European forests. Several insect species have specialised on pines and cause severe economical losses. One such group is the members of the sawfly family Diprionidae, conifer or pine sawflies. Their larvae feed on the needles, which results in reduced growth and in some cases death of trees. Monitoring is today performed by egg or cocoon sampling. The counter measures undertaken today involve mainly the application of chemical insecticides. In recent years this has covered hundred thousands of hectares in the countries involved in the project.The objective is : The project aims to improve the identification, monitoring and control methods of pine sawflies populations which can cause severe damage to forests. This will involve improving the present knowledge about pheromone communication in economically important diprionid sawflies, especially Neodiprion sertifer, Diprion pini, Diprion similis, Gilpinia frutetorum, Microdiprion pallipes and Macrodiprion nemoralis.Short description of the project :The project will investigate the chemical communication system of the insects bypheromones. It will identify the sex pheromones, develop methods for early detection of the risk of outbreaks and develop environmentally friendly methods for managing outbreak population levels. This will be done by combining laboratory work with monitoring of and experiments in naturally occuring outbreaks in Europe.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Catalytic co-hydrothermal liquefaction of binary and ternary mixtures of rye straw, shellfish and beef tallow for sustainable production of high-grade biocrude-oil to drop-in transport fuel' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The transport sector is the highest consumer of fossil fuels accounting for 96% of the global energy, which correspond to 65% of the global crude oil consumption. The escalating consumption of fossil fuel causes deleterious environmental pollution by releasing > 7 billion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. The awareness to transition from conventional fossil fuel to eco-friendly options has resulted in several decarbonization strategies with Europe’s priority to develop new alternative and carbon-neutral energy sources based on a cost-effective biomass-based thermochemical conversion. Hence, the objective of CO-HTL4BIO-OIL is to develop commercially viable catalytic co-hydrothermal liquefaction (CO-HTL) that converts 2G wet solid food by-products such as rye straw, shellfish, and beef tallow into a sustainable transport fuel with potential 100% atom efficiency, low production costs, and zero CO2 emissions. The specific experiments include: (1) identify proper pretreatment prior to CO-HTL for efficient removal of undesirable heteroatoms (2) validate baseline Lab-scale CO-HTL by determining integrated models of HTL parameters and proportions of binary/ternary mixtures; (3) establish efficient catalytic upgrading to bring the HTL intermediate bio-crude oil to drop-in transport fuel; (4) carry out bench-scale HTL for techno-economic assessment.  It is anticipated that an in-depth study on the HTL parameters, optimization of the CO-HTL process, and techno-economic assessment will provide an outlook scenario of the industrial-scale process for high biofuels production capacity. Therefore, CO-HTL4BIO-OIL will diversify my scientific competences in renewable energy and equip me with new transferable skills. Thus, combining my skills in carbon-based biomaterials with the host’s expe

user: Describe how 'Towards a fundamental understanding of a gliding arc discharge for the purpose of greenhouse gas conversion into value-added chemicals' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Global climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is a growing concern. The conversion of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2, CH4) to value-added chemicals or renewable fuels is an effective strategy to reduce these emissions and an interesting process both from economic and ecological point of view. A gliding arc (GlidArc) plasma offers unique perspectives for activating inert molecules at mild conditions and allows the greenhouse gas conversion with limited energy cost. A GlidArc is, however, very complex and poorly understood. Therefore, this project intends to obtain more fundamental insight in the plasma-mechanisms of the GlidArc for greenhouse gas conversion, by means of extensive modeling, validated by experimental diagnostics. First, the chemical kinetics in the GlidArc for greenhouse gas conversion will be studied. Second, this plasma chemistry will be incorporated in a coupled magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) - kinetics model to study the spatial and temporal plasma properties. The model will be validated by experiments, to be carried out during the secondment. Furthermore, the effects of various operating parameters, such as the CH4/CO2 ratio, the discharge power and the gas flow rates, on the gas conversion, the yields of the formed products and on the energy efficiency will be analyzed, in order to predict which conditions give rise to the highest and most energy-efficient conversion. This project is very interdisciplinary, including chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, mathematics and computer modeling, with application in environmental science and sustainable chemistry. Definitely it will extend the applicant’s skills in plasma modeling to a much broader field, with new applications, and enhance his creative and innovative potential by advanced

user: Describe how 'Stimulation Obtained by Ultrasound for NeuroDegeneration (SOUND)' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Neurodegeneration (ND) is a pathological process characterized by a progressive loss of structure and activity in neurons of specific brain areas, causing cognitive, sensory, and motor impairment until compromising even basic actions such as breathing and heart functioning. The condition affects over 100 million people globally, and it is estimated that ND incidence will constantly increase in the next decades, because of the increasing ageing of the European population and environmental factors. Nevertheless, the current treatments are not satisfactory, either because they become ineffective over time, e.g., pharmacological treatment, or because they are highly invasive, i.e. for deep brain stimulation or optogenetic approaches. In this landscape, nanotechnology is emerging as an innovative alternative for treating ND. Nanomaterials offer unique features that confer them the chance to activate degenerated neurons, therefore rescuing the network activity lost in ND. Here, we propose the preparation of a wireless, non-invasive, deep tissue penetrating nanotechnological platform for neuronal rescue upon ultrasound stimulation. We aim to develop a hybrid nanotool based on visible light-sensitive photovoltaic polymeric nanoparticles (that proved successful in rescuing several degenerated retina models in vivo) that will be conjugated to an ultrasound sensitizer, consisting of sonoluminescent molecules capable of transducing an ultrasound signal into a fluorescent emission that can excite the polymeric nanoparticles, ultimately eliciting a neuronal response. The construct will then be directed towards a specific neural population through a targeting moiety, consisting of an M13 bacteriophage nanoscaffold naturally possessing high targeting efficiency. The final nanotool will

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Sustainable Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Concrete (FRP-RC) Structures' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The corrosion problem of steel reinforcement severely limits the life-cycle sustainability of conventional reinforced concrete structures. This proposal focuses on the use of corrosion-free fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars in lieu of steel reinforcing bars in concrete structures. Due to the currently incomplete understanding of serviceability aspects of FRP reinforced concrete (FRP-RC) structures, the existing design guidelines are not comprehensive, and this restricts the applications of FRP-RC in real-life. The proposed project will investigate the fundamental issues of serviceability, fracture mechanics and time-dependent effects of FRP-RC to enable its practical usage. The objectives encompass experimental investigation of deformation characteristics of FRP-RC specimens, derivation of constitutive models and establishment of deformation capacity of FRP-RC members, formulation of design guidelines in serviceability and development of design aids for use by practising engineers.A number of first-time-in-the-world techniques initiated by the applicant researcher, Dr. Pui-Lam NG and the host supervisor, Prof. Gintaris KAKLAUSKAS of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) will be employed in the project. The expertise areas of the researcher and the host are highly complementary and there will be substantial two-way transfer of knowledge. The researcher and the host propose to undertake the project with partner organisations University of Minho led by Prof. Joaquim A.O. BARROS, and University of Cambridge led by Prof. Chris BURGOYNE, in 24 months duration. Measures to disseminate the research findings to the academic and engineering communities and communicate the results to the general public have been formulated. A detailed work plan of research ac

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Development of accelerator physics program in Greece'.

assistant: **Concept**

IASA succeeded in getting a large amount of equipment of excellent quality (magnets, RF components, linac sections etc.) that is suitable for the construction of a two stage Race Trace Microtron (RTM") cascade as a c.w. electron accelerator with output energy of about 240 MeV and beam intensity of several hundred microamps. The construction of this machine at IASA would form a central part of this Institute and it could initiate a tradition of accelerator physics in Greece. The machine most closely resembling the IASA RTM design is the Mainz Microtron ("MAMI"), a three stage RTM (855 MeV, 100 u A) designed and built as a novel kind of accelerator at the University of Mainz, Germany. It was completed in 1990 and is operated routinely since then, showing excellent performance. The applicant was leader of the MAMI project. He is now retired and would like to support the IASA project. "

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Advancing the European Long-Term Ecosystem, critical zone and socio-ecological Research Infrastructure towards ESFRI' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Advance_eLTER marks a crucial step in building the distributed European Research Infrastructure of Long-Term Ecosystem Research sites and socio-ecological research platforms (eLTER RI) to provide highest quality data and services complementary to the European and global environmental RIs. The project will conduct important conceptual work and preparatory steps towards enabling European-scale investigation of the “Critical Zone”, major ecosystems and socio-ecological systems, targeted at supporting knowledge-based decision making at various levels concerning ecosystem services and biodiversity.The review of the eLTER ESFRI proposal submitted by Germany in March 2015 noted the HIGH to VERY HIGH scientific value and necessity of the eLTER RI and was designated as an ‘Emerging’ ESFRI RI.The objectives of Advance_eLTER are firmly anchored in the strategic long-term goals of the eLTER RI, but strictly focus on the challenges identified by the ESFRI review:● Detailed design study (WP1), including an in-depth analysis of the scientific questions driving the eLTER RI physical site network design and instrumentation;● Prioritization of eLTER services for key user groups (WP2), and a plan for eLTER RI services at all service provider levels (central, cross-site, individual site);● Cost analysis and Business plan, for the future eLTER RI operation (WP3);● Organisational framework of eLTER RI (WP4), comprising the development of a robust governance scheme, enabling shareholder negotiations and identifying the most suitable legal framework;● Consulting, communication and team-building (WP5), advancing the national eLTER ESFRI processes, specifying the role of eLTER in the environmental RI landscape and developing staff capacity for the eLTER ESFRI process.Advance_eLTER will closely c

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Photosynthesis in PHYTOplankton Mixtures to Investigate Community Structuration.'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Phytoplankton is not only at the basis of the marine food chain but also an important buffer of climate changes, given that marine photosynthesis is responsible of 50% of the CO2 fixation on Earth. Despite their central roles in the Ocean, our understanding of the forces that shape the dynamics and structuration of phytoplankton communities is still limited by major methodological constraints in the marine environment. Prominent among them is the difficulty to simultaneously measure physiological responses from each microalga species within mixtures, which prevail in the Ocean. I recently developed an innovative approach based on a physical phenomenon, the Electro-Chromic Shift (ECS) of the photosynthetic pigments, to extract the photosynthetic responses of each species within an assembly. Photosynthesis is an ideal probe, i.e., a gateway to investigate both biotic interactions and abiotic stresses which are major determinants of the structuration of the phytoplankton community, because it is the prime target of those external factors. In this project, I propose to use this method to analyze the effects of three major parameters that contribute to shaping the ecological patterns at sea: differential capacities to harvest nutrients (leading to competition for nutrients); direct inhibition of the metabolism of competitors through the use of secondary metabolites (allelopathy), and, in addition to these biotic interactions, the responses of phytoplankton species to the rapid and intense light changes to which they are subjected. These studies will be conducted both in laboratory conditions and in the field for validation, so that the overall project will ultimately constitute a major breakthrough: it will provide a new tool allowing the study in situ and in real time of th

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Graphene-Assembled Inorganic Hollow Fibre Membranes and Membrane Modules for Water Treatment' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Membrane-based filtration technologies nowadays are standard separation processes and widely used in water treatment. The performance of membranes is however limited by their thickness. This project combines the cutting-edge technologies of membrane fabrication and the science of graphene materials to realize high-performance graphene membranes for water treatment purposes. This project will develop graphene membranes supported by inorganic hollow fibre substrates. The thickness of the graphene membrane layer will be less than 5 nm and down to one C-atom layer, with a nominal pore size from 0.3 to 20 nm. The graphene hollow fibre membrane will be able to used in water treatment and overwhelm other membranes with the same pore size by at least fifty times higher permeation flux. Furthermore in this project we will assemble membrane modules of above graphene hollow fibre membranes and build a lab-scale demo plant to evaluate the applicability of the graphene membrane modules in real applications. By the research of this project, a set of methodologies and knowledge of preparing graphene hollow fiber membranes and membrane modules will be developed.
