user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Development of low-cost metallization for silicon solar cells' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Objectives New metallisation techniques and schemes will be developed in order to improve solar cell and module efficiency and/or to reduce the cost of the metallisation process. Special attention will be paid to the applicability for large-scale production and the environmental impact. Cost comparison will be used to evaluate the potential of the techniques to be developed and focus the partners on pursuing low-cost options. New printing techniques and the related process scenarios will be developed on a laboratory scale, and tested for their potential at a pilot production level. New plating concepts will be developed and tested in an industrial environment. Technical Approach Screen printing of metal paste is a low-cost technique, since the front grid pattern is defined in a single process step. However, with present technology the line aspect ratio (width vs. height) is too large, resulting in high reflection losses. This may be solved by various printing technologies: Stencil printing, using a full-metal foil with the front grid pattern; Offset printing overcomes the problems related with paste transport through a screen; Roller printing, in which paste supplied by a roller only adheres to protruding regions; Ink jet printing, where the paste is supplied via tiny needles as in desk top printers. In addition, the total cell processing will be simplified, using new paste firing schemes, and new paste concepts leading to lower series resistance. Metal plating is a well proven technology for contact formation, and is readily scaled-up to high-volume production. However, it involves additional process steps to define the front grid. Two approaches are: new high efficiency designs (less reflection loss) which counteract the higher costs and a new method to define the pat

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Hydrothermal Biomass Upgrade into Carbon Materials and Levulinic Acid for Sustainable Catalysis'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The goal of this proposal is the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into both nanostructured materials as well as valuable chemical platforms for biofuels production. This will be accomplished in one single hydrothermal treatment step.The resulting nanostructured carbons will be used as heterogenous catalysts for the conversion of  the bio-derived chemicals from the liquid phase into biofuels. We will particularly focus on the conversion of biomass-generated levulinic acid into levulinate esters, gama-valerolactone and valerate esters using low cost biomass-derived carbon catalysts.This will offer a closed cycle on biomass upgrade where both solid carbonaceous materials as well as liquid chemicals can be easily produced and further exploited for renewable energy purposes with zero emissions.

user: Explain how 'Analyses of nutrient-recycling and eutrophication in coastal benthic systems' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

In many intertidal habitats dead seaweeds are washed up on the sediment and buried in soft substrata. The amounts and frequency of deposition are increasing, partially as an effect of eutrophication. This can alter the biochemistry of sediments and, in turn, may influence the species composition of assemblages and increase their susceptibility to the next disturbance. Furthermore, bioturbation and mechanical breakdown by animals can contribute to mineralise and transfer (as energy and nutrients) the algal detritus up to the highest levels of food-webs. Such effects can be expected to vary according to the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment (e.g. organic content, grain-size), to the local tolerance to organic enrichment and to the activities of animals. In this project, the effect of the burial of seaweeds on the benthic system will be analysed and the response of macrofauna will be combined with a functional approach. In particular, I will analyse the release of nutrients from algal mats, the changes in macrofaunal composition due to the increase of nutrients and the physical disturbance of the algal mats and the pathway and the fate of the algal detritus in the food-web.These patterns will be analysed and compared in sandy, organically poor and muddy, organically rich habitats, using manipulative experiments in the field. Sediments will be enriched with dead seaweeds and inorganic nutrients. At selected sites, added algae will be isotopically labelled with ^13C and/or ^15N. The work will provide, for the first time, the opportunity to study more explicitly the influence of macro-algal blooms on macrofauna and on the benthic food-webs using different methods. The use of manipulative experiments can provide real cause-effect explanations. The use of

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Paradigm shift in stroke: accurate diagnosis and evaluation of all treatment options in any hospital, at any time' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Methinks aims at revolutionising stroke diagnosis by empowering any hospital in the world to evaluate at any time all treatments options. Today, this is only possible using advanced medical imaging, which is available in around 50% of the hospitals. Methinks will do it with standard medical imaging, which is available 24/7 in any hospital also in rural areas and less developed countries. It leads to a reduction of time-to-treatment of up to 60 minutes: In stroke, “time is brain”, i.e. every minute counts and means that the patient can talk, walk, have cognitive capabilities… and live. It will also open a huge market opportunity, since our technology can run in all small, mid and major hospitals around the world.Bypassing advanced medical imaging is a paradigm shift that requires a large and expensive clinical trial. That is why we are considered as a high-risk company by VCs, needing the support of the EIC Accelerator. With the EIC support, we have the team to make that shift real.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Advanced photonic experimental x-connect' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Main ObjectiveTransparent photonic networks impose high cross-talk requirements on the components used, whereas the integrated devices which can provide the functionality required in these networks in a compact and cost-effective way usually suffer from relatively high cross-talk figures. The main objectives are therefore:  -Development and experimental testing of an easy-to-implement phase-scrambling technique which will lead to a considerable reduction of cross-talk requirements on advanced components.  -Development and experimental testing of advanced semiconductor-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs): an 8-wavelength cross-connect, a 4-channel multi-wavelength laser and a 4-channel multi-wavelength receiver. These devices cover the key functions in the physical network infrastructure: signal generation, detection and switching. Technical ApproachA small cross-connect test bed with bit-rate transparency will be developed; the network will support four 2.5 Gbit/s Direct Detection WDM-channels and four 622 Mbit/s channels, the latter being generated with an integrated multi-wavelength laser and detected with an integrated multi-wavelength detector.A phase scrambling technique will be developed and tested experimentally. The application of phase-scrambling in order to avoid coherent accumulation of cross-talk is considered as a major breakthrough in order to close the gap between actual performance of advanced components and system requirements. With this technique present state-of-the-art (cross-talk values in the order of -20 dB) is sufficient to cascade at least 5 cross-connects without running into cross-talk problems. Research will be focused on finding an optimal scrambling format yielding the required reduction in coherent cross-talk levels with a restricted

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Chemo-enzymatic processing of bio-based building blocks to circular functional materials' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Recent advances driven by the society’s need of implementing a more sustainable polymer chemistry, led to the development of several bio-based materials and the booming of the interest of using biocatalysts for polymer processing and recycling.The aim of CIRCULARIZE is to develop appropriate chemo-enzymatic methods to process bio-based resources to obtain advanced functional materials via the exploitation of highly selective reactions following the green chemistry principles. Further, the aim is, based on that knowledge, to improve the reaction efficiency of the biocatalysts and understand and control the surface and bulk properties of the produced materials in pursuit of novel smart materials and reactive surfaces.Current processes for the utilization of bio-based monomers and resources are unspecific and lead to products in poor quality due to side reactions. Specific biocatalysts could achieve optimal selectivity together with minimal damage to the monomers and polymers and provide high-quality advanced materials.When considering the multifunctional monomers deriving from biomass, the chemo catalytic techniques used by industry have some major shortcomings such as limited selectivity (leading to side reactions) and use of toxic catalysts and solvents. Using this knowledge, the CIRCULARIZE project will develop and apply techniques based on sustainable chemo-enzymatic processes, developing a series of fully bio-based hybrid polymers having smart characteristics (temperature-switchable, vitrimeric properties) while being able to finely tune their degradation via the insertion of enzyme-susceptible motifs. Methodologically, CIRCULARIZE strives to establish new approaches at the cross-sectorial biotechnology/polymer chemistry interface to extend the current knowledge on e

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Eisosomal proteins in Aspergillus nidulans: regulators of endocytosis, cell wall synthesis, membrane subdomain organization and cell cycle' (2007-2013) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The protein and lipid composition of the cell plasma membrane is quite heterogeneous. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the arginine permease Can1 and other plasma membrane proteins, show a “patchy” distribution, being enriched in the MCC (Membrane Compartment of Can1) subdomain. The formation and maintenance of this compartment depends on the transmembrane protein Nce102 and the cytosolic protein Pil1. The latest is responsible for the formation of cytosolic protein complexes, the eisosomes, in vicinity to MCC patches. Sur7 and Lsp1 are also structural components of the MCC and eisosome, respectively. MCC and eisosomal proteins are conserved in fungi and have been linked to the regulation of endocytosis, sphingolipid signaling, cell wall synthesis, plasma membrane organization and cell cycle. Their exact involvement in each of these processes remains largely elusive, and differences have been observed among fungal species. Interestingly, fungal cells affected in the eisosomal/MCC machinery show altered sensitivity to antifungal drugs. In the present proposal, the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans will be used as a model system for the study of eisosomal/MCC proteins in endocytosis of plasma membrane lipids and proteins, cell wall homeostasis, membrane organization and cell cycle progression. The objectives of the project consist on the cloning of eisosomal genes, the study of their transcriptional regulation, and the effects of their deletion on different cellular functions. The subcellular localization of the respective proteins will also be addressed. Specific emphasis will be given on the involvement of eisosomal proteins in cell wall synthesis and amino acid transporter post-translational regulation, based on the results from previous work in the host laboratory.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Lubricant-infused surfaces in sUrfactant- and Bacteria-laden turbulent FLOWs' (LUBFLOW).

assistant: **Concept**

Robust surfaces that can resist fouling, reduce flow drag and control heat- and mass transfer in fluctuating flows would have broad technological implications, ranging from biomedical devices and marine industry to food processing and batteries. Slippery surfaces that use microstructures to lock in place a lubricating liquid hold great promise as a breakthrough technology. In gentle conditions, they have already demonstrated anti-fouling, drag reduction and heat-transfer enhancement. However, when submerged in harsh flow environments that contain turbulence, surfactants and microorganisms, these surfaces drastically change their behavior. The lubricant-liquid interface can break up and partially drain resulting in self-emergent surface patterns. It can sustain large capillary waves resulting in surface roughness. It can change or obtain new properties from Marangoni stresses and it can allow the partial attachment of biofilms. Understanding these non-equilibrium states of lubricant-infused surfaces will lead to mitigation of failure modes and to new functionalities of lubricant-infused surfaces, including controlling non-colloidal particles or serving as surface actuators. Therefore, the aim of this project is to provide a deep understanding of lubricant-liquid phenomena in harsh flow environments and lead the way to a new generation of functional surfaces for fluid flows. We will use a unique combination of high-performance computing and flow experiments to untangle the interaction between the tiny scales of liquid-liquid interfaces, large flow patterns, the existence of “hidden” surfactants and the active decisions made by settling bacteria. By establishing the fundamental behavior of lubricant-infused surfaces in dynamic and realistic environments, we pave the way to

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Fresh Solutions –‘A fresh approach to food packaging’' (2014-2020), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Fresh Solutions –‘A fresh approach to food packaging’Within the EU post production supply chain, it is estimated that 61.6 Million tonnes (Mt) of food waste is created p.a with46.5 Mt/year generated specifically by households . Approximately 60% of household food waste arises from products ‘notused in time’ with a value of more than €60 billion p.a (€624/household) the majority of which are short shelf-life chilledproducts. Similar shelf life challenges are found within the Retail sector with up to 33% of some fresh produce being wastedbefore it even reaches the consumer. Efforts to address this global challenge have centred around innovations that seek to prevent product deterioration and prolonging shelf life. However despite progress in techniques such as Modified Atmosphere Packaging, food waste remains a priority challenge, with the recognition that even a 1 day increase in shelf life could reduce waste levels both in store and home by up to 50% for some products. Fresh Solutions proposed by Four04 Packaging Ltd offers a unique approach to the packaging of perishable food by effectively controlling the detrimental effect of condensation, thermal shock and the respiration rate of fresh produce which contribute to the build-up of moisture in the packs and mould/bacterial growth. It combines an innovative bio-degradable and fully compostable film which allows the moisture vapour transmission rate to be controlled and a novel highly accurate laser perforation system which creates optimum atmospheric conditions within the packaging. The result is the potential to increase the shelf life of fresh produce by 30% – 100% over current packaging techniques as demonstrated by initial UK supermarket trials. Building on this success, this SME I project seeks to further demonstra
