user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Peering at the micromechanics of the brittle-ductile transition and its effects on fluid flow' (PERCOLATE) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Supercritical geothermal energy is a new frontier in the pursuit of renewable, carbon-free energy. However, the extreme pressure and temperature conditions where supercritical reservoirs are found in Earth's crust coincide with the transition zone where rocks shift from brittle to ductile behaviour. Historically, this transition was believed to be a cut-off for fluid circulation, but recent findings have challenged this view, highlighting the urgent need to understand the mechanical and hydrological behaviours of rocks within this rheological domain. PERCOLATE proposes to investigate the mechanics of rock deformation and fluid flow at this brittle-ductile transition by integrating advanced rock deformation techniques, X-ray 4D imaging, machine learning-based image analysis and fluid flow modelling This project leverages my extensive experimental experience and enriches my expertise with valuable new skills in imaging and machine learning. Ultimately, PERCOLATE will contribute to the EU New Green Deal’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 by advancing our comprehension of geothermal energy and deformation in the crust.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE - adaptive behaviour in migratory birds to overcome physiological and environmental constraints'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Advances in tracking technology during the last decade have shown that migratory birds have the capacity to fly longer and faster than we previously thought was possible. Yet, we do not know how birds perform these seemingly impossible travels as it previously only was possible to record spatiotemporal patterns. The overall aim of this project is to reveal constraints and the behavioural and physiological adaptations that has evolved to overcome them, thus making the extreme performances of migratory birds possible. This goal will be met by using novel tracking devices, multisensor data loggers, that in addition to spatiotemporal patterns also record behaviour, including flight altitudes, temperature and detailed timing of flights and stopovers during the entire migration cycle. The few multisensor tracking studies carried out to date have provided hints of stunning new insights, and seriously challenged previously assumed limits on peak flight altitudes, in-flight changes of altitudes, and duration of individual flights. In particular, I have together with colleagues discovered a totally unexpected altitudinal behaviour: some bird species change their flight altitude between night and day, and fly at extremely high altitudes during the day (up to 6000-8000 m). But what makes a migratory bird fly as high as Mount Everest, even when there are no mountains to cross? By launching an extensive multisensor data logging programme, combined with wind tunnel experiments and field studies, the proposed project will change our understanding of the possibilities and limitations of bird migration. This will be done by disentangling the causes and consequences of bird’s altitudinal behaviour, the flexibility, timing and duration of migratory flights (if birds only use diurnal or noc

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Best practices network in the area of TPB for the it actions' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Being able to confront today's competitive challenges is becoming an increasing worry in IT sector SMEs. SMEs associations have become a major tool for responding to the need for joining efforts in making available a common infrastructure, reaching a critical mass and sharing risks. AIEPV, ADESCO and ICSA are three of those associations, focused on three dimensions: SMEs, IT sector, and a regional scope.This will define a specific working environment which will demand specific solutions. The objective will be a Best Practices Network (BPN) that:- is fed with the results of the TBP cluster, among other sources,- develops its own initiatives to find out specific needs for TBP, - and focuses on a regional, SMEs and sectorial scope.The expected main result of the project will be a substantial improvement in the competitive level of the involved SME's through the knowledge of selected Best Business Processes acquired thanks to the project's selection and dissemination tasks.The general working approach will be defined based on the following principles:- Build on existing infrastructure- Focus will be set not only in disseminating as much as possible TBP initiatives coming from TBP Pilots and Research and Technological Development (RTD) projects (top-down) but also in starting own initiatives in TBP (bottom-up).- network simplicity should be maximised- network should be able to grow, by coordinating with other possible BPN networks and by adding new TBP dissemination / detection initiatives periodically identified as useful.The partners will approach the work with a clear tasks assignment. The associations AIEPV, ADESO & ICSA main role will be the work groups with their SME's, the coordination of general activities, the management of the project at different levels and the di

user: Describe how 'Neuronal circuits underlying individual learning trajectories' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Individuals learn in drastically diverse ways, whether at school, at work or when pursuing their hobby. In their journey from naïve to expert individuals discover distinct strategies for learning, forming diverse learning trajectories. However, the neuronal circuit computations that account for these learning trajectories are poorly understood. My lab's recent work found that in learning to make visual decisions from naïve to expert mice transition through sequence of strategies, showing substantial individual diversity in their learning trajectories. We discovered that dopamine signals in the dorsal striatum act as teaching signals that guide individual learning trajectories. Building up on these, I hypothesize that dopamine neurons broadcast heterogenous teaching signals that regulate neuronal responses within distinct striatal and frontal circuits, promoting different strategies during learning and governing diverse learning trajectories. We will test this overarching hypothesis in the following aims:I) Establish whether dopamine signals arriving in different striatal and cortical regions play separate roles in governing learning trajectories.II) Define frontal cortical signals during learning, and identify the role of distinct frontostriatal circuits in guiding learning.III) Determine the contribution of distinct striatal circuits in shaping individual learning trajectories. The project delivers unparalleled insights into neuronal circuit computations underlying individual learning trajectories from naïve to expert, and may offer insights into cognitive disorders linked to failures in these processes.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'XPRESS ENGINE - The Future of Affective Market Research' (XPRESS).

assistant: **Innovation**

Focus group market research recruit persons to watch advertisements for products that fit their demographic and give their opinion. Current focus groups require large mobilization of resources (venue, staff, equipment, targets, analysts) and face a common problem with target positive bias which makes the costly focus group results unreliable for assessing true consumer acceptance. Xpress Engine proposes a solution to transform the current model of focus groups, offering more reliable results at lower cost through disruptive innovation in emotion analytics. How? By detecting involuntary emotional response in real time and completely bypassing any bias, positive or negative, and by allowing the entire focus group to be performed without mobilizing any resources.The revolutionary Xpress Engine emotion recognition system detects emotions in real time by processing expressions in response to stimuli, achieving a detection accuracy of 95% with the six principal emotions and allowing the focus group to be done online with mobile or laptop, with targets registering their real time emotional response to a video or presentation from the comfort of their homes. Market research groups excited about Xpress Engine because it will add value to their current services and create opportunities for new services, revenue sources and growth. Studies show that the more emotions appear in the ad, the better it is remembered and the greater consumer involvement it generates. The key is in the real time detection, which allows the “flow of emotions” to be mapped and analysed.Emotion awareness is a new frontier in ICT development and the platforms being developed today will pave the way for an explosion of innovative applications. Having validated our system as a mobile service platform, we prop

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Parasite pathogens in new species of Mediterranean aquaculture: an experimental approach', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Species diversification has become a major challenge to Mediterranean aquaculture. The greater amberjack Seriola dumerili is one of the new species" of interest for diversification. However, the development of greater amberjack farming at industrial scale is jeopardized by several highly pathogenic parasites. Gill monogeneans (Heteraxinidae) and blood flukes (Sanguinicolidae) are known to cause mass mortalities in experimental amberjack cultures. The control of these infections is hampered by the lack of knowledge about the biology of these parasites. This project will attempt to elucidate the life cycle of heteraxinid monogeneans and sanguinicolid blood flukes infecting cultured greater amberjacks, as well as to evaluate different strategies to control the infections caused by these parasites. The project includes three aspects: First, a taxonomical study of the parasites, second, a study of the development, transmission and life cycle (including the development of free living and parasitic stages and the habitat selection within the fish) and, third, an evaluation of several prophylactic and control methods (including several substances commonly used in fish cultures, such as disinfectants and anaesthetics). The results of this project will allow to ascertain the life cycle and transmission of heteraxinid and sanguinicolid parasites infecting the greater amberjack in fish farms and will suggest prophylactic and treatment methods for future application in intensive aquaculture facilities of the fish species. It is expected that this new information will serve to develop control policies, not only for aquaculture of the greater amberjack, but also for that of similar species, thus contributing to the development and diversification of Mediterranean fish farming in EU me

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Exploring the Deep Universe by Computational Analysis of Data from Observations' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

The formation and evolution of massive galaxies is reasonably well understood in the context of the successful standard ΛCDM formalism. Such simulations of cosmic evolution, however, lead to serious challenges in the regime of the very faint galaxies, including the problems referred to as missing satellites, too big to fail, and planes of satellite galaxies. With the massive amounts of excellent data being produced by astronomical surveys, and with new missions scheduled to produce more data of even better quality, we have a unique chance to solve these problems. To do this, we require innovative developments in information technology. In EDUCADO (Exploring the Deep Universe by Computational Analysis of Data from Observations), an intensive collaboration at the intersection of astronomy and computer science, we bring together experts from different disciplines and sectors. We will train 10 Doctoral Candidates in the development of a variety of high-quality methods, needed to address the formation of the faintest structures. We will reliably and reproducibly detect unprecedented numbers of the faintest observable galaxies from new large-area surveys. We will study the morphology, populations, and distribution of large samples of various classes of dwarf galaxies and compare dwarf galaxy populations and properties across different environments. We will confront the results with cosmological models of galaxy formation and evolution. Finally, we will perform detailed, principled, and robust simulations and observations of the Milky Way and the Local Group to compare with dwarf galaxies in other environments. EDUCADO will deliver a comprehensive interdisciplinary, intersectoral, and international training programme including a secondment at one of our 11 associated partners

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of the project is to enhance the innovation management capacity of Estonian SMEs. The action is aimed at two kinds of SMEs - beneficiaries of the EIC pilot and SMEs with significant innovation activities and a high potential for internationalisation. For beneficiaries of the EIC pilot, the service package (the Key Account Management service) consists of identifying weaknesses in the innovation capacities of the beneficiary; identifying suitable coaches (based on the assessment in the first step) to address the identified weaknesses and moderating the coach-client relationship; and accompanying the beneficiary through the EIC pilot project. The service packages outside the scope of the SME Instrument (the “Enhancing the innovation management capacity of SME's” service) consist of carrying out a diagnostic audit of the selected SMEs; and developing and implementing a tailored action plan to improve the SME’s capacity to manage innovation processes. Within the current action, the consortium aims to provide the service packages to 50 Estonian SMEs.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Schistosoma Epigenetics - Targets, Regulation, New Drugs', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

We propose to develop novel drug leads for the therapy of the major human parasitic disease, schistosomiasis, using a holistic approach that will enable us to progress from the cloned target protein to the lead compound and from epigenetic inhibitors to crucial targets. For this, we have chosen to target the histone modifying enzymes (HME); histone deacetylases (HDAC), histone acetyltransferases (HAT), histone methyltransferases (HMT) and histone demethylases (HDM) of Schistosoma mansoni. In the course of the project the members of HDAC classes I, II and III (sirtuins) HAT, HMT and HDM encoded in the genome will be identified. In parallel, a reverse chemical genetics approach using generic inhibitors of HME subclasses available within the consortium in cultures of schistosome larvae will identify those classes that are bona fide drug targets. These enzymes will be validated as therapeutic targets individually or collectively using RNAi to invalidate the corresponding genes. Potential inhibitors (HDACi, HATi, HMTi, HDMi) will be screened by in silico docking to the modelled catalytic domains of the enzymes and collections of analogues will be tested for their ability to inhibit the activity of the corresponding recombinant proteins in high-throughput assays. We will also establish gene expression profiles corresponding to HME invalidation (by RNAi) and inhibition (using drug candidates in cultured larval stages (schistosomula) that will enable the determination of the specificity of action of the drugs. Finally, in vivo testing of the best candidates will be done in infected mice. In this way, during the study period we aim to develop a series of candidate molecules that can progress to clinical trials.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Continuous monitoring of the structural condition of the tower and supporting structure of floating and static offshore wind turbines'.

assistant: **Objectives**

There is a growing interest in monitoring techniques and systems which can provide information about the condition of a wind turbine support structure, owing to a number of operational factors which have become apparent as increased numbers of turbine installations are experiencing longer periods of time in service. These include:• Instances of fatigue cracking in the support towers• Flange bolts at the ends of the tower sections becoming loose• Higher than expected levels of vibration, which could cause either of the above mechanisms• Degradation of the grouted joint between the pile and transition piece in offshore installations.Wind farm operators are becoming increasingly concerned at the inability to predict remaining life of the installations, as this a rapidly expanding sector and there is little information about likely rates of structural degradation and failure modes. In addition, experience from operation of older wind farms is of limited value, because the specification of these installations is evolving rapidly, with the capacity (and therefore size and weight) of the generator becoming larger and the consequent dimensions of the tower increasing. The effect is that it is very difficult to extrapolate experience with existing structures to the likely behaviour of new ones.On these installations there are very large surface areas/volumes of material to be examined and degradation may occur almost anywhere, so that the inspection task is not trivial. Furthermore, there is no established structural monitoring industry dedicated to the wind sector.The aim of this project is the development of suitable and reliable techniques for monitoring of wind turbine tower structures and joint that could suffer from grout damage and slippage.This project will also develop

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Providing Antifouling Additives for Marine Paints Inspired by Nature and Engineered for Industries' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Any object submerged in water is subject to fouling, such as boats, oil drilling platforms and aquaculture equipment. To prevent fouling, companies who own submerged assets use antifouling paints (i.e. the use of antifouling paints is estimated to prevent 25% of fuel consumption of the world fleet). However, 90% of existing antifouling paints are toxic and current solutions are not 100% effective. Plus, the most used antifouling additive – copper - is characterized by high price volatility. Biomimetx has recently discovered a unique bacterium that secretes high levels of molecules that can be used as natural antimicrobials and algaecides. This compound can be produced through an optimized fermentation process (Internationally patented by us) that ensures high yield. The outcome of the Phase 2 project will be the first marine antifouling paint containing a non-toxic antifoulant additive (BMX-11) on the market. BMX-11 is 100% biodegradable, cost effective and fully efficient against all elements of biofouling. We aim to address the global market of biocide additives for marine paints estimated in at least €2.8 billion in 2016.BMX-11 has the potential to be highly disruptive also because it allows the creation of non-toxic paints that can be certified for non-professional use. This means that BMX-11 can enable the DYI market of antifouling paints.Biomimetx was founded in 2013, and our current team of 9 professionals has been awarded 400k€ in Portuguese research grants and 1,8M€ in Venture Capital to pursue the market rollout of BMX-11 and co-finance the present Phase 2 project.
