user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Evaluation of transaction cost in agricultural enterprises in cees' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Analysing the process of economic transition in the agricultural and food sector of the former socialist countries different approaches are used. Methods of empirical social research as well as simulation and optimisation models are developed to investigate the farm decision-making processes. A number of theoretical approaches, such as the theory of new political economics and evolutionary economics are referred too for an explanation of the differences in structural change. For developing its research competence the Institute of Agricultural Development in Central and Eastern Europe in Halle/Saale, Germany needs post doctoral level researchers with theoretical and methodical knowledge in new institutional economics, theory of new political economics and evolutionary economics. As the investigations will be focused on cost analysis especially transaction cost in agricultural enterprises, knowledge in agricultural economics and farm management is indispensable. The empirical part of the investigations will be require experience in the process of economic transition in the agricultural and food sector of the former socialist countries and as well as farm economy and management in the European transitional countries. The work programme of the fellowship comprises- description of the relevant theoretical and methodical approaches for determining the different transaction costs of farm enterprises in transitional countries- evaluation of the effects of the different transaction costs on the efficiency of the analysed farms, interpretation of the analytical results and generalisation for the analysed types of farms.The fellowship will be organised and contracted in accordance with the Marie Curie Host Fellowship Programme. The duration of the fellowship is 24 month, starting

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Modelling properties, interactions, toxicity and environmental behaviour of engineered nanoparticles' (NANOPUZZLES), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Nanotechnology is rapidly expanding. However, some types of engineered nanoparticles can be toxic for living organisms and exhibit negative impact on the environment. Thus, the design of new nanomaterials must be supported by a rigorous risk analysis. Following the recommendations by the EU REACH system and regarding ethical aspects, the risk assessment procedures should be performed with possible reduction of living animal use. The main objective of the NanoPuzzles project is to create new computational methods for comprehensive modelling the relationships between the structure, properties, molecular interactions and toxicity of engineered nanoparticles. The methods will be based on the Quantitative Structure - Activity Relationship approach, chemical category formation and read-across techniques. Those methods have been widely used in risk assessment of other groups of priority chemicals. But, because of some specific reasons, they can not be applied directly to nanoparticles. We will be developing novel methods within four complimentary areas (""puzzles""), namely: (i) evaluation of physico-chemical and toxicological data available for nanoparticles (NanoDATA), (ii) developing novel descriptors of nanoparticles' structure (NanoDESC), (iii) investigating interactions of nanoparticles with biological systems (NanoINTER), and (iv) quantitative structure - activity relationships modelling (NanoQSAR). Developed methods will be tested and verified for their technical viability by the collaborating industry representative. By implementing the NanoPuzzles methods, extensive animal testing would be significantly reduced. Moreover, the project will deliver the basis for categorising nanoparticles based on potential exposure, phys-chem, structural and toxicological properties.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'EU advanced workshop biotechnology ethics and public perceptions of Biotechnology' (AWBEAPPOB).

assistant: **Innovation**

Ethical issues and public perception of biotechnology are now becoming an integral part of strategic planning for the industry sector. The implementation of this subject in university curricula has however lagged behind. Two previous similar courses sponsored by the European Commission (BIO4-CT96-4857 and BIO4-98-8004) have been held in Oxford, September 22 to October 3 1997 and March 19-30 1999, respectively.The objective of this proposal are to run the course for a third time with the aim to train a new generation of scientists and engineers active in biotechnology to be aware of the importance of bioethics and public perceptions in our society and to handle issues arising from them in companies and in the public. These are great needs, since the future activities of the biotechnology industry will have to rely on staff that is competent in dealing with these issues in a responsible manner in our rapidly emancipating society.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Fast and simple biomarker detection by computational microscopy' (BioMarkerFlow) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Detection of low concentrations of biomarkers, such as low-abundant proteins in physiological samples, is crucial for early-stage diagnosis and disease monitoring. However, existing detection methods are often laborious, costly, and time consuming, rendering them unsuitable for such applications. Based on advances in computational PSF engineering microscopy made during our ERC Starting Grant, and in combination with microfluidic design, we developed a simple and fast biomarker detection method which allows accurate and sensitive results with minimal hands-on sample processing, which we have validated for potential applicability in diagnostics, and specifically, for continuous monitoring. As a target clinical application towards which we can optimize our engineering efforts, we demonstrate the potential for preventative diagnostics via a collaboration with Rambam Medical Center (Israel), focusing on monitoring cell-based cancer treatments. While cell-based therapies can be highly effective, they have introduced new types of cytokine-related adverse effects that can be debilitating and even life threatening. Due to the current lack of appropriate diagnostics for preventative treatment, these adverse effects are mitigated only when symptoms arise, which might be too late. We hypothesize that earlier detection using our method will enable preventive treatment and reduction in frequency and severity of these adverse events, transforming patient outcome. We will develop a multiplexed cytokine detection scheme that reaches clinically significant sensitivity, and assess the effectiveness of this approach by monitoring CAR-T patients. In the duration of the project, we will conduct a market research and develop regulation strategy with the aid of industrial and medical collabora

user: Describe how 'Neocortical circuits underlying visually-guided behaviors in mice.' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Many of our most common behaviors, such as reaching out to grasp an object or turning towards something of interest, require that we transform visual information into a representation that guides action. In humans and other mammals, key steps in this transformation take place in the cerebral cortex, by the cooperative action of multiple cortical areas. How does this cooperation occur? The classical hypothesis holds that cortical areas act in series, each performing a unique step of the transformation and passing on the result, like workers on an assembly line. In an alternative hypothesis the transformation occurs in a distributed fashion, with multiple cortical areas participating jointly in each step. In this hypothesis each area may function more like people lifting a table together by its sides. To test these competing hypotheses, I propose to record simultaneously from populations of neurons in six key cortical areas in mice performing a visual discrimination task. The task is designed to separate and quantify the contributions of each area to visual perception, decision-making, and action. The results will distinguish between the two competing hypotheses and reveal the distinct – or shared – roles of each cortical area. Then, I will put these conclusions to the test by silencing neurons in each of three areas and comparing the effects of inactivation on behavior. Together these experiments will reveal the fundamental mechanisms of how cortical circuits cooperate to produce visually-guided behaviors.I will perform these experiments in the Cortical Processing Laboratory at University College London, led by Kenneth Harris and Matteo Carandini.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Innovative Mid-infrared high Power source for resonant ablation of Organic based photovoltaic devices' (IMPROV).

assistant: **Concept**

High power and in particular tunable mid-infrared short pulse laser systems operating in the wavelength range between 3 µm and 11 µm have a large potential in different applications, e.g. analytics, medicine and micromaching. Up to now, those systems are only be realised by multistage set-ups consisting of bulk four or five different units, a configuration which is of course very complex, expensive with low efficiency operation. Unfortunately, this situation has not changed over the last years and there is no solution appearing.Therefore, in this proposal the development, realisation and investigation of such a highly integrated mid-infrared laser source is presented. Its layout is based on a Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA) short pulse Thulium all-fibre laser operating around 2 µm associated with a quasi-phase-matched GaAs crystal. For the MOPA pump source different integration aspects will be addressed in order to fully benefit of a waveguide device. This include the development of fibre-coupled saturable absorbers, large mode area (LMA) photonic crystal fibres (PCF) with functionalities regarding wavelength tuning capability, mode-filtering and high power operation, pump/signal combiners based on LMA-PCFs and novel concepts for fibre amplifiers with integrated core-pumping schemes. The wavelength conversion unit will be realised with integrated wavelength tunability and structural design.This MIR-laser will operate in the wavelength region from 2.5 µm to 11 µm with a pulse energy of up to 30 µJ, a pulse duration between tens to hundreds of picoseconds and a repetition rate between 50 to 250 kHz. For validation of the developed laser source tests concerning the processing of organic photovoltaic solar cell will be accomplished.The consortium represents the who

user: Describe how 'CO2 - Loop for Energy storage and conversion to Organic chemistry Processes through advanced catalytic Systems' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

CEOPS project will focus on a sustainable approach for the production of methanol from CO2, which is a precursor for fine chemicals products. The approach will reinforce the link between large CO2 emitters and fine chemical industries at the European level. The concept relies on two chemical pathways, CO2 to CH4 and CH4 to CH3OH with the intermediate carbon vector: methane. Methane benefits from the extended and existing natural gas network infrastructure. Its distribution will prevent additional CO2 emissions (rail & road transportation). This approach will favour the emergence of small and flexible production units of fine chemicals from methanol.The technological work is based on advanced catalysts and electro-catalytic processes. CEOPS will develop advanced catalysts for application in three promising electro-catalytic processes (Dielectric barrier discharge plasma catalysis, Photo-activated catalysis and Electro-catalytic reduction) to increase their efficiency overtime for both pathways. The performances of the studied catalyst and process schemes will be benchmarked and the most efficient one, for each pathway, will be selected for a prototype. This prototype will be realised at a scale of 3m3.h-1 of methane, it will validate the concept and generate the required data for the techno-economic assessment.The consortium merges the skills of 2 research organisations, 3 universities, 1 SME, 1 non profit organisation, 2 industries and 1 cluster. The project is led by CEA-LITEN. Italcementi, GSER and CCB will bring respectively their expertise in CO2 emissions, CH4 injection and transportation and on methanol use for the fine chemical industry. They also contribute to the techno-economic and environmental assessments. IST, IREC, OMNIDEA will develop advanced catalysts.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Improving water treatment processes through chalk recrystallisation' (RECRYST) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Calcite (CaCO3) plays a role in many public and industrial regimes that are critical for the health and economic well-being of society, but in many cases, a lack of understanding of the fundamental physical and chemical properties controlling calcite growth and dissolution translates to direct problems or to inefficiency in water treatment processes.A common method for removing toxic trace-metal contamination during water treatment is to add lime (Ca(OH)2 or CaO). Trace metals are trapped in growing calcite as Ca combines with CO3 from the water. However, production of lime requires burning of calcite, often in the form of limestone or chalk. This emits CO2, and though some CO2 is consumed during water treatment, considerable energy is required for lime production, which also contributes to the atmospheric carbon load. If a method could be developed to treat water directly with natural calcite, without first converting it to lime, considerable energy could be saved and CO2 emissions could be reduced. We will investigate methods to alter the surface properties of chalk, to make it more effective at trapping trace metals. Our approach is to promote Ostwald ripening, the natural process where small particles dissolve to provide material for growth of larger particles. The growing calcite traps trace-metals, removing them from the water. To achieve this, we will apply nano-technological methods for characterising particle surfaces and use a bio-technological approach to develop environmentally friendly enzymes that can degrade the organic coatings on chalk particles, which are known to inhibit natural recrystallisation. The Science and Technology results will lead to improved treatment processes for clean drinking water, and a decreased need for lime production with less co

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'The olive and the vine in European Prehistory' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The cultivation, domestication and intensive exploitation of the vine and the olive transformed the agricultural, economic and social history of Europe. Without these crops and their products, wine and oil, the environment, landscape, farming, and trade would have been entirely different. This project will reconstruct the biogeography of the olive and the vine, explore their diffusion and routes of movement into Europe, and define the processes behind their early exploitation, and understand the beginnings of arboriculture in Europe. Additional objectives will be to detect whether separate domestication episodes occurred within Europe, and advance our understanding of crop domestication, management strategies and varietal histories.  The project will examine methods of wine and olive oil making, associate them with archaeological and archaeobotanical evidence, and define the related changes that occurred in agricultural, economic and social organization. Case studies will be used from the Aegean and Cyprus, the crossroads between Asia and Europe. The timeframe of the 3rd   and the 2nd millennium encompasses the transition from gathering to cultivation, domestication and then to organized vineyards and olive groves, the production of wine and olive oil and the creation of a new social and economic realities. Building on the applicant’s expertise in archaeobotanical analysis, a multidisciplinary framework includes training in new techniques for studying archaeobotanical remains, charcoal analysis, and archaeogenetics. Training will be provided and the project hosted by the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, an international centre of excellence in these areas. Data analysis and interpretation will confront the fundamentally transformative effect of the olive

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Evaluating Metal Accumulation in Lichens' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Environmental contamination by metals and radio nuclides is a major threat to human and environmental health in large areas of Romania suffering from a legacy of mining and as a consequence of out-dated industrial processes. These substances are also transported by long-range pollutant deposition to other EU countries. How lichens accumulate and retain metals is largely unknown in spite of their wide-scale use as environmental monitors and in the cycling of metals e.g. in the lichen-reindeer-man food chain. The present study seeks to provide advanced training for the applicant in chemical and microscopical techniques to enable her to assess patterns of metal deposition by using key bio indicator lichens in one of the most polluted valleys in Romania. Methods used will be based on protocols recently developed by the host group during \'MinUrals\' an EU InçoCopernicus grant and a related grant funded by the Royal Society carried out in polluted areas in Russia. The applicant will also be taught how to interpret data using multivariate statistical techniques and how to display data in a readily understandable form to non-scientists using colour maps. The project will contribute towards developing robust monitoring protocols for adoption in Europe. The Natural History Museum houses one of the largest collections of lichens from mining sites in the world including Romania complemented by comprehensive libraries arid state-of-the art analytical facilities. Recent studies have shown that different species may accumulate metals by a variety of ways and that some species produce a unique range of organic-metal complexes not reported in other organisms. The applicant will be taught new SEM methods to screen lichens to establish which species are accumulating metals in the highest
