user: Explain how 'From the SEA to the SOLution. An integrative assessment of marine pollution in a changing Arctic' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Marine chemical pollution poses known threats to human health and to biodiversity, ecosystem and societal services. The Arctic is a major sink of global mercury (Hg) pollution. Arctic sediments, sea and glacial ice constitute vast Hg reservoirs. Recent studies raise concerns about their increasing role as local Hg sources. In a rapidly warming Arctic, the consequences of potentially increased environmental Hg on marine biota remain unknown. The objective of SEASOL is to identify the pathway(s) of Hg bioaccumulation in marine food webs of the High Arctic Kongsfjorden (Svalbard). This changing glacial fjord is recognised as a ‘natural laboratory’ of climate change in the Arctic. The fellow’s earlier research has shown the sole measurement of Hg levels as insufficient to connect biotic Hg dynamics to environmental change, whereas the analysis of Hg stable isotopes proved to be a promising tool for source discrimination and biotic transfer. SEASOL will build on the novel application of stable isotope analysis to identify the sources of Hg within the fjord system and the pathways to Hg accumulation within sentinel marine species. On the short-term, the study will provide fundamental knowledge to help understand how emerging sources of Hg from rapid environmental change will impact Arctic marine predators. On the long-term, SEASOL will contribute to the development of early-warning, adaptive management strategies, including modelling, for mitigating the cumulative impact of pollutants and climate change on Arctic marine species. This multidisciplinary approach and the central position of the host institution (Norwegian Polar Institute) in the field of Polar Research will equip the Fellow with a broad set of new skills and lay the foundation for building her specific niche as

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Adressing Energy in Parallel Technologies'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The ADEPT project will address the challenge of energy-efficient use of parallel technologies. ADEPT will build on the expertise of software developers from high-performance computing (HPC) to exploit parallelism for performance, and on the expertise of Embedded systems engineers in managing energy usage. ADEPT will develop a tool that will guide software developers and help them to model and predict the power consumption and performance of parallel software and hardware.<br/>The strength of the HPC world lies primarily in software application parallelisation: concurrent computation is used to speed-up the overall time an application requires run to completion. As a result, HPC software developers are also experts in parallel performance analysis and performance optimisation. The Embedded systems sector on the other hand excels in its management of energy usage because they are often constrained by fixed power and energy budgets. The strengths of one sector are the relative weakness of the other: power management and power efficiency in HPC are in their infancy, but they are becoming increasingly important with HPC systems requiring more and more power; and while continuing to be constrained by energy and power budgets, recent advances in low-power multi-core processors have widened the choice of hardware architectures for Embedded systems and are increasingly forcing Embedded programmers to use parallel computing techniques that are more familiar to HPC programmers.<br/>ADEPT will investigate the implications of parallelism in programming models and algorithms, as well as choice of hardware, on energy and power consumption. It is important to gain a clear understanding of how factors such as redundant computations or algorithmic choices affect the power profile of a pa

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Evolutionary strategies in dynamic populations', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content The objective of the research is to study the dynamic interaction of individual- and population-level phenomena in ecology. Intraspecific competition ultimately limits the growth of any population, such that fitness has to be interpreted in comparison to other individuals of the same population. The optimal choices of behaviour, reproduction, or resource allocation of an individual therefore depend both on its own state and the state of other individuals in the population. This simple statement has fundamental consequences to both evolutionary demography and population dynamics. Specifically, the meaning of fitness has to be stated in a dynamic framework, by explicitly considering the effects of limiting factors such as density dependence or local interactions. My postdoctoral study period intends to elaborate the interrelationship of the two disciplines of population dynamics and behavioural ecology (including life history aspects), by developing models which specify the behaviour of individuals in relation to the competitive environment formed by their conspecifics, and explore the consequences of this behaviour for population dynamics. The results will enhance the understanding of animal behaviour and life history, but they also give tools for better planning of population management actions, e.g., conservation of endangered species, or sustainable game harvesting. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The objective of the training is to study problems of evolutionary change in a dynamic context at the Department of Zoology of the University of Cambridge. In addition to the theoretical knowledge of game theory and population dynamics at the department, it hosts a wide range of empirical study projects directly relat

user: Describe how 'Checking Melanoidins Satiating Efficiency Through Evaluation of Human Gut-Brain Response to Novel-Bread Ingestion' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The increase of overweight and obesity among Europeans is becoming an important health and social issue as overweight people have a higher risk of developing diabetes or cardiovascular disease than normal weight people. The diffusion of the Western diet, rich in energy-dense foods, is one possible cause of weight gain. Grilling, roasting, and frying of foods leads to the formation of Maillard reaction products including non-digestible melanoidins that are primarily found in coffee and bread crust. Melanoidins are structurally similar to vegetable dietary fiber, both are non-digestible dietary components partially fermented in the gut. It is known that dietary fiber is able to trigger short-term satiety through the modulation of gut hormones controlling food intake. The objective of this project is to verify the satiating efficiency of melanoidins. New types of bread enriched with melanoidins from the crust or from coffee will be developed and their effects on short-term satiety will be compared to those elicited by barley beta-glucans-enriched bread and control bread (only crumb, no melanoidins and no dietary fiber). For this purpose a human intervention trial will be performed. In four breakfast sessions, 15 volunteers will consume in a random manner all experimental breads one by one, fill out satiety questionnaires, be submitted to blood drawings at 5 specific time points, and consume an ad libitum lunch 3 h after breakfast. In the rest of the day, they will complete a food diary to assess their 24 h energy intakes. Gut and stress hormones, as well as endocannabinoid concentrations, will be measured in blood samples by Luminex technology and mass spectrometry. Additionally, satiety gene expression in blood samples from 5 subjects at two time points will be measured b

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Rapid Permafrost Thaw in a Warming Arctic and Impacts on the Soil Organic Carbon Pool' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In a warming Arctic, frozen soil organic carbon (SOC) stored in permafrost will increasingly become vulnerable to thaw and mobilization. Over millennia, permafrost soils accumulated about 1672 Petagram of SOC, about twice the carbon currently in the atmosphere. Rapid permafrost thaw (thermokarst) releases fossil SOC as greenhouse gases, constituting a positive feedback to global warming. However, complex landscape, hydrological, and ecological feedbacks necessitate quantification of landscape scale carbon pools and fluxes in Arctic permafrost regions. A globally important question is whether permafrost soils will turn from a natural carbon sink into a source.The project combines remote sensing based change detection, mapping, and spatial data analysis for permafrost landscapes, quantitative field studies, and modelling of thermokarst processes to quantify the size and vulnerability of deep permafrost SOC pools to rapid permafrost thaw and resulting impacts. The three research topics are: (1) Systematic measurement of rapid permafrost thaw, (2) Determining deep permafrost SOC stocks and carbon accumulation rates, and (3) Quantification of deep permafrost SOC pools and vulnerability assessment.The project will provide for the first time quantitative data on rapid permafrost thaw over large regions, provide first-time data on the size of SOC pool components related to thermokarst, substantially enhance previous SOC pool estimates for Yedoma deposits and arctic river deltas, and characterize overall permafrost SOC distribution and vulnerability to thaw. It will answer the question of how climate change affects permafrost SOC pools and how permafrost thaw feeds back to climate.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'ETTIS - European security trends and threats in society' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the ETTIS project is a) to identify, understand and assess in a scenarios framework future threats, needs and opportunities for societal security, b) to develop and test a methodological approach and model for a revolving process of security research priority setting, c) to derive research priorities geared towards the needs of user organisations, as well as rationales and options for policy intervention, and d) to help increase awareness of and attention to security research results, and contribute to overcoming barriers by advancing and testing a range of intelligence tools and techniques. ETTIS relies on a comprehensive concept of security that encompasses both technological and non-technological opportunities as well as emerging security-related ethical, cultural and organisational challenges. It conducts a comprehensive analysis of completed, on-going and planned security research projects. Future threats and associated needs of security organisations are explored in context and situational scenarios. The identification and assessment of opportunities for enhancing societal security is conducted within the context of these scenarios. The options identified are assessed in a stakeholder process, aiming to identify collective priorities. Needs and options for policy intervention are explored, with a particular emphasis on the European policy level. The work is embedded in a generalised methodological framework and learning environment for threat- and opportunity-based priority-setting, which serves also for updating the European security research agenda. The importance assigned to stakeholder interactions is reflected in the weight given to the work package on dissemination and the management of user interfaces. The results of ETTIS are expected to help im

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Characterisation of neuronal assemblies in auditory cortex', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In the mammalian brain, the neocortex plays a fundamental role in processing sensory information. While cortical areas responsible for processing different modalities may differ in some respects, the similarity of cortical microcircuitry across areas, and the ability of one area to take over the role played by another damaged area suggest that all neocortical areas may employ a single 'algorithm' for information processing.This proposal will investigate the contribution of single cortical neurons to spontaneous and sensory-evoked neocortical activity. We have chosen to work with the auditory modality in rodents as presentation of sound stimuli is technically straightforward, and offers strong control over stimulus structure in the time domain.Presently I have 4 years experience of in vivo whole-cell neuronal recordings. As part of this proposal, I will learn experimental and analytic approaches to studying multiple simultaneous neuronal activity in vivo with a leading research group in this field for 24 months. Newly-acquired skills will be returned to a research group in the EU during the final 12 months of the proposal.A unique strength of this research proposal is our ability to combine several powerful new techniques - in vivo whole-cell patch clamp, multiple large-scale neuronal recordings with multi-site silicon microelectrodes, and novel analysis methods such as 'peer prediction' (Harris et al., Nature 424: 552-555) - to determine how anatomically-identified neurons are driven by, and contribute to, cortical network activity under different conditions of sensory stimulation.This issue is of great importance for understanding the basis of cortical operation, and is likely to provide insights into the principles by which events in the outside world a re represented

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'High Efficient and Reliable arrangeMEnts for CroSsmodal Transport' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

HERMES project will provide development and analysis of new mobility schemes and associated organisational patterns at the interface and interconnection between long distance transport networks and local/regional transport network. Although these are conceptually simple operations, requiring only some real-time telecommunication, there are organizational and contractual difficulties in its realisation. The first part should concentrate on identification of the key requirements of the travellers, the corresponding services and necessary underlying company agreements to provide them, followed by a business plan for the operation. The second part of the project would have demonstrations in the selected corridors for a period of at least 6 months of field experience. The final product of the project should be a handbook of recommendations based on the analytical part and on the demonstration part of the project. Prototypes for the business model of the innovative services will be developed and further tested in case studies for validation of its functional, economic and organizational aspects aiming to provide recommendations regarding enhanced co-ordination between decision-making levels on issues related to the interconnection of transport networks of different scales and modes, addressing institutional, legal, design, planning, technical and deployment aspects.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Unveiling the history of the Galaxy with its fossil stars' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The history of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, has been always a subject of debate. How the Galaxy was formed and the ways it has evolved up to the present moment is still something that it is outside our knowledge. Nowadays, we are living an extraordinary scientific moment, since after incredible efforts the technological facilities necessary to disentangle such a relevant matter are available. The study of the fossil stars of the Galaxy, the white dwarf population, is essential to obtain information about its past history. In particular, the cooler objects are the ones that can provide more interesting information, but they are so faint that the current number of identified objects is very low. The project we propose will overcome all the current problems to detect cooler white dwarfs by performing a deep survey of thick disk and halo WDs in a very deep infrared survey (WTS) carried out in the zyJHK filters with the UKIRT telescope. The accuracy of these data will allow us to classify them in thin/thick disk or halo members. Thanks to the new cool white dwarfs detected we will be able to cover the low luminosity end of the thin disk/thick disk/halo luminosity functions, which will provide a wealth of information about the history of the Galaxy (age, star formation rate...).

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Concerted Action EED - Support to Member States and participating countries for the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of the 2nd Concerted Action for the Energy Efficiency Directive (CA-EED 2) is to foster exchange of information and experience among Member States and other participating countries (Norway)  with a view to facilitating to the implementation of the Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on energy efficiency (EED), including the implementation of the foreseen re-cast of this Directive. The specific objectives of the Action are:•To enhance and structure the sharing of information and experiences from national implementation whilst promoting good practice concepts in activities to improve and strengthen MS implementation of the EED.•To encourage dialogue between MS on common approaches for the effective implementation of particular parts of the EED.•To complement the work of the EED Committee assisting the European Commission.The expected impact of the Action consists of a more harmonized approach and improved implementation of the EED in all MS, as well as the transfer of good practices between countries.The objectives of the CA-EED 2 will be achieved by organising information exchange via amongst others 8 structured plenary meetings for coverage of the various topics. The meetings will allow experts from implementing bodies and ministries in the MS to discuss and exchange views, and aim to achieve as much convergence of objectives and methodologies as appropriate, avoiding redundant efforts and maximizing the benefits that can be obtained from the work otherwise required from individual MS working on their own. A large part of the work in the CA-EED 2 will be done in the sessions during the plenary meetings, focussing on good practice examples, but also through Working Groups that interact between the meetings and exchange of info
