user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Whey protein-coated plastic films to replace expensive polymers and increase recyclability' (WHEYLAYER).

assistant: **Concept**

In the food industry, the oxidation of fats, oils, and other food components produces off-flavours, off-colours and nutrient loss. Protection against oxygen is a vital requirement of food packaging. Common synthetic polyolefin films such as PE and PP are excellent moisture barriers, but must be coated or laminated with synthetic polymers including EVOH and PVDC copolymers to provide an oxygen barrier. The resulting polymeric structures, while effective in minimising the permeation of oxygen, water vapour, and odour, are characterised by their poor reuse due to difficulties in separating each layer for its individual recycling. For this reason, scientists are continually investigating alternative packaging materials such as the use of biopolymers. Despite all the advantages offered by biopolymer films, they present limitations in their application due to a series of physical properties and difficulties in formation. Recent academic studies reveal that whey, the milk protein by-product of cheese production, acts as a good moisture-barrier film with acceptable mechanical integrity. In addition, the use of whey coating on plastic films can improve the recyclability and reuse of the plastic layer by removing the whey protein chemically or enzymatically. This present project will build on past research in order to arrive at a commercially feasible technique for developing whey coated plastic films, without compromising the oxygen or moisture barrier performance of conventional plastic films, while increasing their recyclability. The impact of this project will be considerable and embraces many issues: finding a value-added commercial use of currently discarded whey protein, replacing harmful petroleum-based plastics with a natural by-product which would safeguard the performa

user: Draft an impact statement for 'A Productive, Affordable and Reliable solution for large scale manufacturing of metallic components by combining laser-based ADDItive and Subtractive processes with high Efficiency', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The overall objective of PARADDISE project is to rationalize, to structure and to make available to the stakeholders of manufacturing value chain the knowledge and the tools for combining two antithetical processes: Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) and Machining (milling and turning). The project will develop expert CAx technologies, smart components and monitoring and control systems tailored for the hybrid process in a cost-effective way and with structured knowledge about LMD process. The PARADDISE solution will offer a synergetic combination among: i) the high flexibility for the designs and for the materials to be used, the high material efficiency and the high savings in material resources and its associated costs of the LMD operations; and ii) the high accuracy, the high robustness and the high productivity of subtractive operations.The solution will be integrated in the ‘ZVH45/1600 Add+Process’ hybrid machine from IBARMIA manufacturer (PARADDISE partner), which is already available in the market as well as at TECNALIA’s facilities (PARADDISE coordinator). Thus, the PARADDISE project will conceive a process-machine-tools solution. By means of this combined manufacturing process, large scale manufacturers of value-added metallic components will be able to achieve high quality and high productivity with a minimum use of material and energy resources when manufacturing those parts, which will lead to a reduction in manufacturing costs. In that way, the PARADDISE project intends to boost and to spread the use of Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology along the life cycle of value-adding metal components.

user: Explain how 'Characterizing H2 natural reservoirs At Rifted Margins' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The ongoing energy transition requires new technologies and ingenuity to provide timely solutions. One major discovery in this direction is the production of hydrogen through natural processes. Hydrogen is a promising source of green energy, but our understanding of its natural formation is currently superficial. In particular, we need to quantify the potential hydrogen fluxes that occur during the formation of continental rifted margins, which make up half of the world's margins and extend hundreds of kilometres beneath the ocean. As these margins form, mantle rocks react with seawater to release hydrogen. However, accurately estimating this production is challenging due to the complexity of rifted margins, limited access to high-resolution data and difficulties in modelling the process.CH2ARM aims to estimate hydrogen fluxes resulting from serpentinization at two European continental rifted margins. The project leverages the applicant's expertise in seismic data and numerical modelling to achieve two main objectives: first, to map the occurrence of serpentinised mantle using a novel joint inversion of high-resolution seismic data sets; and second, to quantify hydrogen production rates through numerical modelling of fluid infiltration processes. By advancing the understanding of large-scale natural hydrogen production associated with serpentinisation, CH2ARM will provide critical insights for the exploration and potential future exploitation of natural hydrogen reservoirs as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Innovative assembling process for manufacturing of miniaturised devices in dissimilar materials' (1998-2002) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Nowadays, the tendency is in the miniaturisation of electronic devices and medical instruments in order to improve the portability or to develop news products / services. These products' manufacturing implies joining of ceramics or plastics to metal components. The current processes to join dissimilar materials are furnace brazing for ceramic to metal joining and adhesive bonding for ceramic and plastic to metal joining. But, these processes are adapted to large components joining. Therefore, the aim of the project is to develop an innovative industrial process of laser brazing allowing the joining of miniaturised components made of dissimilar materials (material 1: plastic or ceramic, material 2: metal), since today no method is available to join miniaturised components. Lasers' use will make possible to very locally heat the joint section; causing minimal damage to the base materials and so, to manufacture new bi-materials miniaturised components.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Biomolecular Hydrogels – from Supramolecular Organization and Dynamics to Biological Function' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Certain proteins and glycans self-organize in vivo into soft and strongly hydrated, dynamic and gel-like supramolecular assemblies. Among such biomolecular hydrogels are the jelly-like matrix that is formed around the egg during ovulation, mucosal membranes, slimy coats produced by bacteria in biofilms, and the nuclear pore permeability barrier.Even though biomolecular hydrogels play crucial roles in many fundamental biological processes, there is still a very limited understanding about how they function. Our goal is to assess and to understand the relation between the organizational and dynamic features of such supramolecular assemblies, their physicochemical properties, and the resulting biological functions. We will investigate these relationships directly on the supramolecular level, a level that - for this type of assemblies - is hardly accessible with conventional approaches.To this end, we use purpose-designed in vitro model systems that are well-defined in the sense that their composition and supramolecular structure can be controlled and interrogated. These tailor-made models, together with a toolbox of surface-sensitive in situ analysis techniques, permit tightly controlled and quantitative experiments. Combined with polymer physics theory, the experimental data allow us to directly test existing hypotheses and to formulate new hypotheses that can be further tested in complementary molecular and cell-based assays.This project focuses on two types of biomolecular hydrogels: (i) the nuclear pore permeability barrier, a nanoscopic protein meshwork that regulates all macromolecular transport into and out of the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, and (ii) extracellular hydrogel-like matrices that are scaffolded by the polysaccharide hyaluronan and that are of prime impo

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'The true costs of bird flight: From the laboratory to the field' (FLIGHT).

assistant: **Innovation**

Flight is thought to be one of the most energetically costly of bird activities. These costs matter by virtue of their magnitude, as factors affecting flight costs can have a disproportionate impact on the overall energy balance. Flight costs are fundamentally linked to airflows, as well as behavioural responses to them, because birds react to horizontal and vertical currents by changing flight mode (i.e. flapping/ gliding), speed and route. Even minor route adjustments can radically affect the flow conditions that birds experience due to the uniquely dynamic and heterogeneous nature of the aerial environment. Yet our understanding of how airflows impact birds is in its infancy, being constrained by a lack of information on the metabolic costs of flight. Currently, the main methods for measuring flight costs in the laboratory either restrain the bird (thereby increasing energy expenditure) or suffer from low resolution, and field methods do not allow costs to be resolved in relation to fine scale movement paths. FLIGHT will use interdisciplinary approaches, integrating laboratory and field techniques, to address these grand challenges. Breakthrough methodologies will be used to (1) measure the costs of unrestrained bird flight in the laboratory and (2) derive a new proxy for power use in flight that is linked to flight performance, using accelerometry measurements from cutting-edge data loggers. Loggers will then be (3) deployed on wild birds to quantify their responses to airflows and the energetic consequences over fine scales. This will provide completely novel, mechanistic insight into the way the physical environment impacts flight costs, and (4) enable variation in flight–related energy expenditure to be modelled geographically and seasonally in model species.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The Intellectual Context of Greek Cosmology' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project aims at examining the role of cosmological speculation in different spheres of ancient Greek intellectual life. The project consists of four independent but related research topics, which should ultimately form the chapters of a book.- Cosmological knowledge and eudaimonia: the role of physics and cosmology in normative ethics;- The epistemological role of three-dimensional reduced size astronomical models in theory building and the differentiation between philosophical cosmology and mathematical astronomy;- Cosmological doctrines and medical texts: the microcosmos-macrocosmos analogy in medical physiology and cosmic physics.- The structure of the cosmos and cosmic processes in eschatological texts: where does the soul come from before it s incarnate existence and where does it go after its separation from the body?The ultimate objective of the project is to show both the great diversity and the fundamental unity of Greek culture by examining different manifestations of a ubiquitous theme: theories about the place of human beings in the cosmos and our cognitive capacities to penetrate into the order of the cosmos and discover our place in it. The mobility period at the Wissenschaftskolleg will help the applicant to develop a high-level research career in Europe.The supervision by one of the most prominent scholars in his field and the cooperation with an international group of outstanding researchers from various disciplines will broaden his intellectual perspectives and enrich the innovative methodical approach of his basic research project.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'The interaction between nmda-receptor activation and the polymerization statae of actin in cultured hippocampal neurones'.

assistant: **Concept**

The level at which signal-transduction is integrated to give Long-term-potentiation (LTP) is unclear, however, recent evidence implicates the cytoskeleton as important. The characteristic ATP-, calcium-dependent rundown of the NMDA-receptor (which is centrally involved in LTP) is reversed by treatments thought to specifically protect the filamentous state of the cytoskeletal protein actin (F-actin) from depolymerization into its monomeric components (G-actin). Since F-actin depolymerization is regulated by calcium-dependent proteases it is thought that the receptor rundown could be through NMDA-receptor activated cytosolic calcium increases. Currently, there are no studies demonstrating a direct effect of NMDA-receptor stimulation on the state of F-actin. This project will directly determine whether such a link exists, and whether treatments thought to alter the polymerisation state of actin are effective. We will use cultured neurones of the rat hippocampus, and the site-selective probes: phalloidin for F-(polymerized), and DNAaseI for G-(depolymerized) actin. Fluorescent conjugates of these probes will allow visualisation of F-, and G-actin simultaneously in Axed, and living neuronal cells. The distribution and intensity of staining will be monitored in single cells using confocal microscopy after systematic treatments.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Preloading to mitigate seismic liquefaction risk'.

assistant: **Concept**

Excessive deformations of level ground caused by earthquakes are of great concern for civil engineering works, human lives and the environment. Such ground deformations are usually associated with liquefaction, i.e., a decrease in strength caused by the increase in pore water pressures in saturated cohesionless materials during earthquake ground motion. Much earthquake damage caused by liquefaction-induced excessive displacements can be mitigated by soil improvement methods, thus limiting the associated economic and social problems. Unfortunately, large scale application of the more common soil improvement methods is often avoided because of excessive costs of deep methods and incomplete understanding of potential benefits of other methods. This leads to potentially catastrophic consequences from earthquakes. For this reason preloading is particularly attractive, because, as it is applied from the surface, it can overcome the restriction of prohibitive costs. The goal of this research is to develop a cost-effective method, based on preloading, to reduce seismic liquefaction susceptibility and the associated risk to buildings that may cause many fatalities. Verify and study the method by a field study and develop procedures to estimate improvement and risk mitigation for new sites. Towards this goal the following major tasks will be performed: 1. Study and verify the method by a field preload test 2. Study of the effect of preloading on the cyclic soil strength by elaborate laboratory testing 3. Collect and analyze in-situ test results before and after the field application of preloading 4. Analyze the effect of preloading on the seismic risk of buildings and other structures on liquefaction-susceptible sites by elaborate numerical analyses 5. Propose rules for new sites

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'TILLAGE EROSION : CURRENT STATE, FUTURE TRENDS AND PREVENTION'.

assistant: **Concept**

Data which have become recently available strongly suggest that tillage erosion, i.e. the direct downslope movement of soil by tillage implements, is often the most important soil erosion processes on hilly agricultural land. Tillage erosion may not only have detrimental effects on soil quality but may also adversely affect landscape evolution as well as the preservation of archaeological sites.However, data on tillage erosion are only available for a limited number of tools and agro-ecological conditions: a comprehensive study of the extent and intensity process at a European scale is lacking so that an effective prevention strategy cannot be developed.This project aims to fill this knowledge gap. Therefore, the major objectives of the project are (1) collect the necessary data to assess the extent of tillage erosion and its effect on soil quality in Europe (current status), (2) to predict likely future effects of tillage erosion on soil quality and (3) to develop tools and guidelines for the prevention of tillage erosion.The first objective will be met by assessing the intensity of tillage erosion as well as its effects on soil properties on 7 well-chosen agricultural sites in Europe. Through a detailed survey of the site, including an accurate description of the spatial variation of soil properties and the compilation of a detailed 137Cs-inventory, the necessary information to apply an improved version of an existing longterm erosion and depositor model (LTEM) will be collected. Model simulations will provide detailed information on the extent of tillage erosion on the site over the last decades as well as its effect on soil quality.The assessment of the current status of tillage erosion is not sufficient to predict its future effects: tillage implements and practice

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Synchronization of Civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean in the 2nd Millennium BC' (1998-2002).

assistant: **Concept**

It was in the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC that those cultures were formed in the Eastern Mediterranean, which shaped the history of the Ancient World. Our knowledge of this period proves to be, upon close examination, based on such uneven and controversial research that the basis of its history has to be re-established and re- examined. Chronological differences of up to 150 years from one region to another result in uncertainty as to which situation in one region corresponds to which conditions in another region. New dates that derive from the natural sciences contradict the historical dating. This consequently results in considerable shifting of the regional chronologies. An example of such was the attempt to give the eruption of the Thera volcano a high date, which was moved, based on natural scientific research, from the previous 1500-1520 BC to 1628 BC, without reviewing the consequent problems thus caused in the relationship to the Egyptian chronology.In March 1999 a large-scale research project, which intends to set up a universally applicable chronology in the area of the Eastern Mediterranean was started at the Austrian Academy and the Austrian Science Fond. Scientists and scholars of different nationalities (Austria, Great-Britain, Germany, Israel) and research-areas (Archaeology, Ancient History, Physics, Dendrochronology, Astronomy) collaborate in a completely new way due to the intensity and large-scale of the project. Already, only a few months since the beginning of the project, which is estimated for duration of 10 years, valuable new results concerning the chronology of the Eastern Mediterranean can be offered. Apart from the scientific importance this project also offers a possibility for young researchers not only to work on their fields of interest but
