user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'The role of 5HT3a inhibitory interneurons in sensory processing' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

How do cortical circuits process sensory stimuli that leads to perception? Sensory input is encoded by complex interactions between principal excitatory neurons and a diverse population of inhibitory cells. Distinct inhibitory neurons control different subcellular domains of target principal neurons, suggesting specific roles of different cells during sensory processing. However, the individual contribution of these inhibitory subtypes to sensory processing remains poorly understood. This is mainly due to the technical challenges of recording the activity of identified cell types in-vivo, in response to quantified sensory stimuli. Therefore, I propose a novel approach based on four pillars: 1) An optically accessible circuit in the superficial layers of the cortex, comprised of inhibitory cells expressing the serotonin receptor 5HT3a, and the distal dendrites of pyramidal neurons. 2) A novel combination of electrophysiology and 3D two-photon imaging to simultaneously record the activity of morphologically identified 5HT3a cells and their dendritic targets. 3) A head-fixed perceptual decision task, whereby mice use their whiskers to determine the location of an object, allowing an accurate description of the sensory stimulus. 4) The integration of experimental data and computer models to gain mechanistic insights into circuit functions. The 5HT3a cells and the distal dendrites of pyramidal neurons receive ‘top-down’ contextual information from other cortical areas that is essential for constructing meaningful perceptions of sensory stimuli. Thus I hypothesize that 5HT3a cells influence sensory perceptions by controlling the excitability of the pyramidal cell distal dendrites that integrate top-down and sensory input. Thus, I will not only reveal novel functions of inhibi

user: Explain how 'Network Principles of Neuroendocrine Control: Tuberoinfundibular Dopamine (TIDA) Oscillations and the Regulation of Lactation' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The hypothalamus is essential for our survival and orchestrates every vital function of the body, from defence against predators and energy metabolism to reproduction. Yet, the network mechanisms underlying these actions remain largely hidden in a  black box . Here, we will focus on the hypothalamic neuroendocrine system, where we have identified a novel robust network oscillation in the tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) neurons that control prolactin release. This oscillation is synchronized between neurons via gap junctions, and phasic firing is transformed into tonic discharge by compounds that functionally oppose neuroendocrine dopamine actions. Using this novel preparation, we will investigate the 1) the cellular (conductance) and network (connectivity) mechanisms underlying TIDA rhythmicity; 2) how TIDA activity is affected by hormones and transmitters that affect lactation; 3) the functional significance of phasic vs. tonic discharge in the regulation of dopamine release and lactation; and 4) the generality of TIDA cellular and network properties to other parvocellular neuron populations. These questions will be addressed through several in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological techniques, including slice whole-cell recording, extracellular in vivo recording, voltammetry and optical recording. These experiments will provide novel insight into the link between network interactions and behaviour, and have important clinical implications for e.g. endocrine and reproductive disorders.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Emotional dynamics of protective policies in an age of insecurity' (PROTEMO).

assistant: **Innovation**

PROTEMO investigates the emotional connection between the state and individuals. The focus is on protective policies and their consequences for individuals, groups of citizens and non-citizens as well as for democracy, political participation, and mobilisation. Such policies, and the emotional dynamics related to them, increasingly dominate politics in the current age of insecurity. Fear, anger, pride and hope are only some of the emotions that are often involved in political interactions and sometimes with important consequences, as events such as the Yellow Vest protests illustrate. PROTEMO asks: (1) How do political actors perceive and influence the emotional needs of citizens (and non-citizens) and how does this play out in the policy process? (2) What emotional reactions, judgements and actions elicit protective policies among individuals and publics in society? (3) How do citizens’ emotional reactions feed back on the policy process? Answering these questions allows us to study emotional responsiveness - a crucial yet neglected aspect of representative democracy.To do so, we will field a representative survey of 11 countries, design experiments, make focused comparisons of a smaller range of specific policies (e.g. pandemic responses, climate change) and conduct several “deep dives” where, we investigate how underprivileged citizens, migrant women of color, and refugees from Ukraine form emotional needs towards protection and build discursive spaces to articulate them in the public sphere. Bringing together perceptions of emotions by political actors and emotional reactions of citizens and non-citizens to protective policies with an analysis of the emotionality of the policy process toward protective policies allows us to contribute to a broader debate on the futu

user: Describe how 'Between London, Cyprus, and Palestine: Waste History in the British Eastern Mediterranean' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The project ""Between London, Cyprus, and Palestine: Waste History in the British Eastern Mediterranean"" (BLOCYP) aims to uncover the origins of waste treatment policies in the region. It is the first comprehensive waste history study in the modern Eastern Mediterranean, focusing on Cyprus and Palestine as case studies. It examines sanitary challenges faced by Mediterranean cities under British rule during their rapid urbanization between the 1920s and 1940s. The project investigates five major cities: Nicosia and Famagusta (Colonial Cyprus), Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Jaffa (British Mandate of Palestine), allowing for various comparisons between countries, capital cities, and port cities. BLOCYP tackles three key issues: British sanitary policy regarding urban waste treatment, adaptation of sanitary solutions to local conditions and needs, and the role of British networks in spreading sanitary ideology and knowledge. The research will facilitate a deeper understanding of British colonial sanitary perceptions and their local applications. Thus, it is a valuable case study for territories worldwide that underwent British rule. Additionally, it illuminates how global events such as wars and economic crises have influenced local waste treatment practices. The project will utilize archival materials from Nicosia, Jerusalem, and London. BLOCYP will contribute to three historical branches: environmental history, political history, and history of expert networks. It will shed light on the roots of modern waste pollution, examine if the type of territory – permanent colony or temporary mandate – influenced British sanitation policy, and explore the migration of sanitary knowledge between Europe and the Mediterranean. Just as our approach toward waste reflects our way of living a

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Bioelectrochemical Systems with Immobilized Redox Mediators for Power-to-Methane Conversion'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Biomethane is a gas consisting mainly of methane (CH4) that can be produced from agricultural and food waste or other organic materials at a low or even negative price. Since biomethane is almost equivalent to natural gas, it is seen as a possible functional substitute: biomethane can be used an energy carrier for excess renewable electricity and as a feedstock for chemical synthesis. It is possible to produce biomethane by means of various biochemical and bioelectrochemical reactors in which the main role is played by methanogenic micro-organisms that convert CO2 or other organic compounds into CH4. This project is dedicated to the development of two bio(electro)chemical reactors based on a trickle-bed reactor using raw biogas from an industrial anaerobic digester and hydrogen from an alkaline electrolysis for the synthesis of CH4. The main fundamental novelty of this project is the use of immobilized redox mediators (anthraquinone derivatives), which promote the rate of methanogenesis and thus increase the performance of the whole set-up. In the case of the bioreactor, carbon particles with immobilized redox mediators are used as the biofilm support material. In the case of the bioelectrochemical reactor, the same materials also act as colloidal electrodes. This approach is expected to significantly improve key characteristics such as methane conversion rate and power density, which will enhance the economic attractiveness of the technology. Also, the project will use zero-gap flow electrochemical cells for the first time to accelerate the screening of promising materials.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Smart by Design and Intelligent by Architecture for turbine blade fan and structural components systems' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Smartfan aims at the micro and Nano components, which will be used due to their special physico-chemical properties, in order to develop smart (bulk) materials for final application on intelligent structures. CFs for reinforcement and conductivity variance, CNTs and CNFs for sensing, Micro-containers for self-healing, Electro-Magnetic nanoparticles for fields detection and shielding, colouring agents for marking cracks and defects, piezoelectric materials can be the base for manufacturing new smart materials. In order to develop lightweight composite materials and transfer the properties of smart components into bulk materials polymer based matrices, such as Epoxy, PEEK, PVDF etc., will be used because of their compatibility with the above mentioned components, their low cost and their recyclability/reusability. During synthesis of composite bulk materials several processes should take place in order to preserve the special physico-chemical properties of composites and to achieve the best dispersion in the bulk.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Advanced Self-sorting and Supramolecular Polymers' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The controlled formation of well organised self-assemblies within multicomponent supramolecular systems remains a challenge for modern chemistry. Herein, the aim of this project is to construct a constitutionally dynamic library containing advanced supramolecular architectures (i.e. a molecular grid, a linear helicate and a macrocycle) through the combination of orthogonal self-assembly and self-sorting, then we intend to take advantage of the dynamic and orthogonal interactions developed to synthesise doubly-dynamic main-chain and crosslinked metallo-supramolecular polymers.A highly complex constitutionally dynamic library (CDL) will be developed. Six dissimilar organic components and three different metal cations are expected to self-sort into a Cu(I) [2x2] grid, a Fe(II) linear helicate and a Zn(II) metallo-macrocycle through the combination of orthogonal self-assembly and self-sorting. This CDL represents a major advancement of the field in term of: 1) the complexity of the orthogonal self-assembly and self-sorting used, 2) the complexity of the metal-directed self-assembly, 3) the complexity of the mixture of supramolecular architectures synthesised.A self-assembling “Janus” metallo-supramolecular polymer based on the self-sorting Cu(I) and Fe(II) complexes developed in the CDL described previously will be studied. This polymer will display both supramolecular and covalent molecular dynamics, allowing for a broad range of features, e.g. orthogonal double dynamics and constitutional dynamics. This polymer is highly innovative as: 1) it can operate via reversible metal-ligand coordination and reversible covalent bond formation or only via the latter, 2) a combination of two orthogonal metal-ligand coordination interactions can be used to induce the polymerisation, 3)
