user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Advanced integrated ndt concepts for unified life-cycle' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

In the aeronautical industry, the tireless adaptation of increasing quality lev els to the imperatives of cost and cycles reduction can be facilitated, among o thcr means, by the adoption of unified life-cycle concepts that merge aspects o f concurrent enginecring and total quality management around the design. The ac tualisation of these concepts makes mandatory the integration of NonDestructive Testing (NDT) at various phases of a component life. The late developments in the NDT field, including some BE, have been to some extent focused on this subj ect. Nevertheless, to face the unified life-cycle in all respects, it becomes n ecessary to put a greater effort on the integration of the nondestructive techn iques at the level of design and manufacturing process. The INDUCE project has bcen conceived to make this objective feasible. In fact it's centred on: The modelling of the items involved in the nondestructive inspections (materials, dcfects, structure excitation, equipment's responses) and of their mutual inter actions. This with the aim to: provide powerful tools allowing the designers to get infonnation about the inspectability problems; make available a detectabil ity analysis tool supporting the devising of the inspection procedurcs with det ectability analysis, thus contributing to the cost and reliability optimisation of the inspections; exploit the NDT technologies, sustaining their application as materials and defects characterisation methods. The development of advanc ed nondestructive teclmiques and analysis methodologies for measuring mechanica l, electromagnetic and thermophysical quantities, with the aim to strictly link the inspection methods with the material properties and defect typology, as we ll as with the structures characteristics.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'PHysically-Based Integrated Soil HEalth Simulation Platform' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

PHISHES aims to bridge the missing link between data on soil health and actions for the safeguard of soils. This missing link entails predictive capability in terms of the consequences of actions on the provision of soil functions and associated ecosystem services, taking into account soil use, soil contamination and various drivers such as climate change. Hence the primary scientific question addressed in PHISHES is: “How do soil use and soil contamination influence soil functions and associated ecosystem services, in the presence of major drivers such as climate change, and how can we predict the impacts of mitigation and adaptation measures?”. While most research teams address this question in a qualitative / semi-quantitative fashion, using, e.g., multicriteria analysis and indicators of soil health, the ambition of PHISHES is to provide quantitative predictive capability via a PHISHES Digital Platform. To achieve this, PHISHES will build upon several pre-existing integrated simulation tools; in particular the MIKE SHE model that provides a flexible framework for integrated hydrologic modelling and the DAISY model, a well-tested mechanistic agro-ecological model of the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The efficient coupling between such models will significantly enhance the ability to assess the impact of changes in land use on soil ecosystem services. It will serve to assess the influence of various actions on soil services; i.e., sustainable agricultural practices (e.g., hedge rows to retain moisture and reduce erosion; no-till agriculture, crop rotation, ...), of land restoration / remediation solutions (e.g., nature-based solutions), pollution prevention solutions, etc. The results of the scenario simulations will be tranlated into recommendations regarding policie

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Onset of Star Formation: Connecting Theory and Observations' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Star formation is one of the most active areas of both theoretical astrophysics and observational astronomy. The formulation of a theory of star formation is essential not only for understanding the origin of our own solar system and, ultimately, of life itself, but also for the development of a theory of galaxy formation and evolution. We propose a comprehensive study of observational signatures of a variety of prestellar molecular cloud core models, aimed at probing the initial conditions of star formation and the origin of protostars. We will conduct this study in three steps. First, we will follow the dynamical evolution of molecular cloud cores using different models (such as pure hydrodynamical collapse; magnetically modulated collapse; and collapse with and without the effect of rotation). Second, we will couple these models to a network of chemical reactions that will self-consistently follow the relative abundances for ~100 molecular species, by solving the chemical reactions simultaneously with the dynamical equations. Third, we will couple these calculations to both continuum and line radiative transfer solvers, which will enable us to produce both maps and spectra of core models. Finally, the convolution of our results with the instrumental capabilities of different observatories (such as Herschel and SOFIA) will produce sets of mock observations, which will allow us to: (a) assess the potential of observations with different instruments to differentiate between models for the dynamics of prestellar cores; (b) propose specific observations with maximal scientific return in the discrimination between dynamical models; and (c) for existing observations, offer interpretation in terms of their consistency with each dynamical model examined.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Structure and functioning of novel seed-dispersal networks as a result of climate change'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Climate change is altering species distributions across the globe. Because in mutualistic interactions, as the ones between plants and seed dispersing animals, species rely on each other to persist, climate-driven species shifts have been shown to reduce areas of cooccurrence between mutualistic partners, breaking interactions, reducing ecosystem service provision, and causing co-extinction cascades. But so far, we have overlooked the ecological communities that species may face in their new distributions, and the novel ecological networks these communities may form. For instance, seed-dispersal interactions are mediated by species traits, such as the gape width of animals and seed sizes of plants, so that the climate-driven rearrangement of species traits may present new interaction partners, offering novel interaction opportunities through interaction rewiring, ultimately resulting in novel seed-dispersal networks. The aim of NETNOVO is to build and assess the structure, resilience and functioning of novel seed-dispersal networks under climate change. I will combine species trait data with climate, species distribution, and network assembly models to: O1) map the global loss and potential gain of seed-dispersal interactions under climate change, O2) predict the resulting novel seed-dispersal networks, and estimate their structure, and resilience, and O3) assess the seed-dispersal service that novel networks may provide. NETNOVO will not solely focus on interaction loss; instead, NETNOVO aims to shed light on the formation of novel ecosystems, an urgent enterprise which is beyond the state-of-the-art. Whilst increasing my international mobility and career development, expected NETNOVO results include three scientific publications, outreach activities to promote societa

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Trophic interactions in marine plankton: copepod responses to a diatom defence strategy' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

A laboratory study is proposed to gain new insights into the trophic interactions between certain unicellular marine algae, the diatoms, and their main predators, calanoid copepods. Some diatoms produce polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUA) when wounded, which interfere with the reproduction of copepods and thus represent a defence strategy of the algae. This relationship may significantly shape the planktonic food web, but so far experiments have considered only few copepod species.In addition, most studies lack knowledge on the PUA production potential of the diatoms used as food, due to missing biochemical analysis methods for PUA. In consequence, the results were ambiguous and discussed very controversially. Recently, methods have been developed to quantify P UA production of diatoms.Using this new technology, this study aims to identify:1) potentially different responses of important neritic copepod species to PUA producing diatoms with regard to their different life cycle traits,2) the effects of PUA producers on feeding copepod larvae, and3) the impact of algal physiology on this trophic relationship.Feeding experiments will be conducted alongside with PUA measurements to determine differences in the reproductive success of key copepod species of Dutch coastal waters when fed diatom diets. As toxin biochemistry of the algae is expected to vary with environmental conditions, diatom cultures grown under various defined conditions will be used in feeding experiments and compared with non-toxic controls. Thus, this study will integrate research across the sub-disciplines phytoplankton ecophysiology and zooplankton ecology in order to improve our understanding of complex trophic relationships at the base of the marine food web.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Bridging Between Organocatalysis and Biocatalysis: The Powerful Enamine Mechanism of Organocatalysts Engineered into the Tautomerase Superfamily Scaffold' (PROZYMES) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Proline and related secondary amines were found to be efficient organocatalysts of aldol, alkylation, Michael addition, and other challenging bond-forming reactions. The design of even more efficient systems that would allow extending this remarkable catalytic strategy to a useful and environmentally benign synthetic methodology would be highly desirable. This proposal aims to develop a new class of biocatalysts that use the powerful proline-based enamine mechanism of organocatalysts but that take advantage of the water solubility and stereochemical control available with enzymes. As a scaffold for engineering, we will exploit the active-site template of the tautomerase superfamily proteins, the only known group of enzymes that has the unique feature of using a N-terminal proline in catalysis. By systematically screening tautomerases for promiscuous carbonyl transformation activities, we aim to demonstrate that Pro-1 residues within these tautomerases can react with carbonyl compounds to give enamine intermediates, and thus may facilitate various bond-forming reactions. The most promising enzymes will be used in directed evolution experiments to enhance the desired activities to a practical level. For this, new screening and selection methods will be developed that allow the efficient passage through protein sequence space. Furthermore, unnatural secondary amines will be introduced by total chemical synthesis. In this way, we envision to generate superior biocatalysts for carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. The idea of using a protein scaffold in which a catalytic proline is present as nucleophile and that has a unique reactivity to form enamines would be a completely new approach to making carbon-carbon bonds. It does not copy something in Nature, but is based on the

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'MSCA Presidency Conference 2025: Attracting and retaining talent in Europe' (ART).

assistant: **Innovation**

Denmark will assume the presidency of the Council of the EU in the second half of 2025. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU), as requested  by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science, will organise the annual Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Presidency Conference. The event will be held 18-19 September 2025, at DTU Campus in Lyngby, just north of Copenhagen. Project and conference organisation will be managed by the DTU under the umbrella of the Danish Presidency, which oversees all high-level research and innovation conferences organised during the presidency semester. With the title MSCA Attracting and Retaining Talent in Europe (ART), the conference has the overall aim of fostering human-centred discussions on purposefulness, motivation, expectations and demands from current and future generations of researchers in their working-life – and how we can attract and retain an excellent workforce in research in Europe. The conference will give specific emphasis to purposefulness, motivation, and means to foster a diverse and inclusive work culture, including well-being. As the academic landscape continues to evolve, the conference aims to examine how universities can adapt to meet the expectations of early-career researchers (ECR), including Millennials and Gen Z, who seek balance  between professional growth and personal well-being. By bringing together key stakeholders, the conference will explore the purpose-driven motivation of future generations and share insights on promoting academic fairness, diversity, and equality. Contributing to the competitiveness and attractiveness of European universities, in collaboration with industry and public bodies, to future generations of top talent, this discussion will support the continued excellence of Euro

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Design and photo-optimization of Photosensitizer for Human Health and Food security applications or “how light can save lives”' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The development of active compounds that can efficiently fight microbial infections and cancer are of utmost importance for food security and human health, two main challenges for Europe. Tetrapyrrolic photosensitizers (PS) are good candidates to meet these expectations. These photo-excitable molecules induce cell death via the formation of oxygen reactive species (ROS) and present very low toxicity in the absence of light. They are already used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer or skin disease treatments or in photo-antimicrobial chemo-therapy (PACT). Unfortunately, the research and training are still largely fragmented in this field in Europe. Some scientific barriers have to be overcome to increase their efficacy, e.g. improvement of the excitation pathways, ROS production, specific cell targeting, Gram (-) bactericidal effect and prevention and/or eradication of biofilms. That is why the EJD Polythea project aims developing an integrated and multidisciplinary approach of PDT through the implementation of 10 PhD research projects. The Polythea consortium proposes to develop (i) new tetrapyrrolic PS for various types of PDT including anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and immune-activating application, improving their photophysical and biological properties; and (ii) innovative bio-inspired drug carriers or supports.In parallel, a joint doctorate structure gathering 5 countries will be created and a multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial training programme will be implemented through network events and secondments to non-academic partners. It will provide a common background on PDT to the ESRs and make them more valuable employees, effective at problem solving. Practical applications should come out of this project such as first aid bandages, new ski

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'The role of friendship in cooperation: a comparative and cross-cultural developmental approach'.

assistant: **Concept**

Diverse lines of theoretical and empirical research are converging on the notion of humans as the ‘cooperative species’. Compared to even our closest living biological relatives, chimpanzees, human cooperation is both qualitatively and quantitatively unique. Early in ontogeny, human children in cultures across the world develop a suite of psychological adaptations to establish, maintain, and repair cooperative relationships. Friendship is often seen as the prototypical cooperative relationship. While central theories of human evolution highlight the relevance of our species’ cooperative abilities, we have very little knowledge concerning the contribution of friendship to cooperation. To address this major gap in the literature on cooperation, this proposal presents a series of targeted experiments to test for the understudied role of friendship in cooperation in chimpanzees and human children. In answering this question, the present proposal marshals an innovative combination of methods from psychology, biology and anthropology, and the most auspicious conditions at Yale University and the University of Göttingen. By comparing the behavior of children and chimpanzees this proposal will isolate what aspects of friendship may be uniquely human and will theorize about the evolutionary trajectory of friendship from the time humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor. Studying the expression and role of friendship in children from 3 different cultures will contribute to our understanding of the ontogenetic development of friendship and in addition, is especially valuable as it acknowledges cultural influences on friendship allowing for a more thorough understanding of cooperative behavior and its complexities. The proposal offers powerful tests of the role of friendship
