user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Diversity of subsoil anaerobic microorganisms and their potential for aromatic hydrocarbons degradation' (ANAEROBIO-D2) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The steps involved in oil refining can generate accidental spills resulting in hydrocarbon contaminated areas, reaching as far as the subsoil and ground waters. Rehabilitation by microbial methods has been recognised as novel, cleaner and less expensive than physical-chemical techniques.However, low or zero oxygen levels has limited the application of aerobic bacteria in the subsoil. Consequently, anaerobes significance became apparent for subsurface bioremediation. Nevertheless, evaluation of anaerobes diversity and assessment of their biotechnological potentials are meagre. Thus, it is proposed to investigate the community diversity and the potential of indigenous subsoil anaerobes for elimination of aromatic hydrocarbons.On the one hand, it is proposed to analyse the response and evolution of the indigenous population to the presence of hydrocarbons. Within this frame, molecular tools will be used to investigate the subsoil microbial diversity without recurring to cultivation. On the other hand, bacteria with relevance to anaerobic processes are difficult to isolate in laboratory cultures.Therefore, a special effort will be placed to recover anaerobes with hydrocarbon metabolising abilities. Examining the presence and availability of distinct electron acceptors in the subsoil and the use of site-specific pollutants as carbon sources will assist to formulate media for a successful recovery. Subsequent biochemical and genetic analyses will allow establishing the genes involved in biodegradation.Once these are characterised, further understanding on the mechanisms behind anaerobic biodegradation will be available helping to design rational strategies to hasten and improve anoxic bioremediation processes.The project outcomes are expected to significantly increase the sca

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'AdS(2)/CFT(1) holography via quiver quantum mechanics' (Quivers).

assistant: **Concept**

Identifying the near-horizon black hole microstates which produce the correct black hole entropy formula is a fundamental open problem in theoretical physics, and at the same time, it is the ultimate aim of AdS/CFT holography. Quiver quantum mechanics captures the bound states of D-brane constituents of 4-dimensional extremal black holes. It is a unique description compared to all previously known examples of CFTs in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence because it allows a direct interpretation of its ground states as bound states of BPS (Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield) black holes in four-dimensional supergravity.Conformal symmetry appears in the scaling limit of the effective Coulomb branch quiver mechanics. We recently developed a geometric gauged sigma model reformulation for this model as a type-B superconformal mechanics. It is a powerful interpretation because it provides a differential geometric description for the Hilbert space. Using this formulation as our groundwork, we will obtain a definitive result for the ground state degeneracies of the scaling quiver quantum mechanics by applying regularisation and Atiyah-Bott localisation techniques that were applied before for type-A superconformal mechanical models. Furthermore, this computation will provide the first-ever superconformal index computation for type-B models.  Through the microscopic entropy computation, we will obtain an identification of the ground states of quiver D-brane quantum mechanics with pure AdS(2) black hole microstates, and hence the first ever evidence for the pure AdS(2)/CFT(1) holography. We will use this result to resolve long-standing problems about the AdS(2) BPS black holes in the supergravity regime. For example, we will determine the existence of a possible (topological) quantum h

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Highly Efficient and Thermotolerant Wheat' (HEAT-WHEAT) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Meeting the needs for a growing food security in a changing climate is currently one the key challenges for agricultural research, particularly theimpact of heat waves on food production. Photosynthesis is arguably the greatest contributor to crop yield and its reduction will severely affect foodproduction. Photosynthesis is highly susceptible to even moderately elevated temperatures and susceptibility can be in large part attributed to the enzyme Rubisco activase (RCA), one of the least thermostable photosynthesis proteins and the principal activation partner for the photosynthetic core enzyme Rubisco, that drives carbon fixation and hence growth. Considering the susceptibility of RCA to moderate and severe heat stress and its important role in photosynthesis, the need to improve its thermostability is paramount. In this project, we intend to manipulate RCA in order to enhance the photosynthetic performance, and therefore yield potential, of wheat. We intend to achieve this through sourcing and transfer of heatstable variants of RCA from relatives of wheat that have evolved in hot climates. We will identify the genetic diversity responsible for improving the thermostability of RCA through a combination of comparative bioinformatics, newly developed and refined high throughput Rubisco activation assays. State-of-the-art mutational techniques will be used to further modify wheat RCA to create RCA variants with superior thermostability and optimal activity. Improved variants of wheat RCA will be incorporated into elite wheat germplasm by means of genetic modification and breeding programs. This highly refined, technologically advanced and interdisciplinary approach has the potential to dramatically improve yield production in wheat under future climate scenarios. Furtherm

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Fifth Generation of Ultra Bright X Ray Beam' (X-FIVE).

assistant: **Innovation**

The recently built X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FEL), the so-called fourth generation light sources, provide extremely intense coherent femtosecond pulses of energetic radiation. These FELs based on Linear Accelerator (Linac) technology require radio-protected facilities which are several kilometres in length and also require significant investment (more than a hundred million euros). They have already produced an impressive list of outstanding results in many scientific fields. As a consequence of these successes they are already significantly over-subscribed by the scientific community. The recent progress realized by laser plasma accelerators that can nowadays deliver high quality energetic particle beams in ultra short bunches (of a few femtoseconds) with very high peak currents (of a few kA) are very encouraging for the future. Thanks to the huge longitudinal electric fields they can produce, laser plasma accelerators appear to be a natural candidate to reduce the size and cost of future FELs. Among the many applications laser plasma accelerators sustain, the hope to build a compact Free Electron Laser, has been clearly identified by the scientific community as the near future grand challenge. The goal of the X-five project is then to demonstrate the feasibility of such fifth generation light sources - compact and low cost - that will satisfy the increasing demand of the scientific community. This next generation of FELs will deliver bright X ray beams at a repetition rate of 10 Hz, of interest for the many applications that do not require very high average brightness such as available from  the fourth light sources generation. The laser plasma accelerator research activities of the X-five project will also be of benefit to other fields, including medicine, radiatio

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Cognition and Decision-Making: Laws, Norms and Contracts'.

assistant: **Concept**

The application's unifying theme is cognition. Any decision reflects the information that comes to the decision-maker's awareness at the moment of making the decision. In turn, this information is the stochastic outcome of a sequence of more or less conscious choices and of awareness manipulation by third parties. The three parts of this application all are concerned with two factors of limited awareness (cognitive costs and motivated beliefs) and with the application of imperfect cognition to economics. The various projects can be subsumed into three themes, each with different subprojects: 1. Self-serving beliefs, laws, norms and taboos (expressive function of the law, taboos, dignity and contracts). 2. Cognition, markets, and contracts (mechanism design under costly cognition, directing attention in markets and politics). 3. Cognition and individual decision-making (foundations of some non-standard preferences). The methodology for this research will be that of formal economic modeling and welfare analysis, enriched with important insights from psychology and sociology. It will also include experimental (laboratory) investigations. The output will first take the form of a series of articles in economics journals, as well as, for the research described in Part 1, a book to disseminate the research to broader, multidisciplinary and non-specialized audiences.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Quantum Nanoelectromechanical Systems', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In this project, we will investigate the quantum properties of nanoscale mechanical resonators. Suspended structures will be made of Al, SiN, GaAs, carbon nanotubes, and photonic crystals, covering frequencies in the MHz and GHz range. The vibrations will be excited by electrical means. To overcome the thermal noise, cooling of the low-frequency resonators will be performed. We will use two cooling techniques: sideband cooling due to the coupling to an electromagnetic resonator, and optical cooling. For the ultra-sensitive read-out of the displacement, optical methods will be used, as well as a novel technique based on incorporating the resonator into an arm of a superconducting interference device (SQUID). A part of the project will be devoted to developing methods of quantum manipulation with mechanical vibrations. Successful implementation of the project will require integration of mechanical and optical devices into nanoelectronic circuits. A close collaboration of theorists and experimentalists is essential for the success of the project. The theoretical research will concentrate on modeling cooling and read-out schemes by considering interaction of electrons with non-equilibrium phonons and photons. The project addresses basic research; mid-term and long-term applications are expected in the areas of sensing and quantum information.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Provably Efficient Algorithms for Large-Scale Reinforcement Learning' (SCALER).

assistant: **Concept**

Reinforcement learning (RL) is an intensely studied subfield of machine learning concerned with sequential decision-making problems where a learning agent interacts with an unknown reactive environment while attempting to maximize its rewards. In recent years, RL methods have gained significant popularity due to being the key technique behind some spectacular breakthroughs of artificial intelligence (AI) research, which renewed interest in applying such techniques to challenging real-world problems like control of autonomous vehicles or smart energy grids. While the RL framework is clearly suitable to address such problems, the applicability of the current generation of RL algorithms is limited by a lack of formal performance guarantees and a very low sample efficiency. This project proposes to address this problem and advance the state of the art in RL by developing a new generation of provably efficient and scalable algorithms. Our approach is based on identifying various structural assumptions for Markov decision processes (MDPs, the main modeling tool used in RL) that enable computationally and statistically efficient learning. Specifically, we will focus on MDP structures induced by various approximation schemes including value-function approximation and relaxations of the linear-program formulation of optimal control in MDPs. Based on this view, we aim to develop a variety of new tools for designing and analyzing RL algorithms, and achieve a deep understanding of fundamental performance limits in structured MDPs. While our main focus will be on rigorous theoretical analysis of algorithms, most of our objectives are inspired by practical concerns, particularly by the question of scalability. As a result, we expect that our proposed research will have significant im

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Non perturbative effects in gauge and string theories' (NPEGST).

assistant: **Concept**

The ultimate goal of any theory describing nature is to be able to predict, on the basis of few assumptions, the behaviour of its components. Quantum field theory has enjoyed great success in this respect. The quantity which describes the behaviour of the components of the theory is called scattering amplitude: it describes the effect of the interaction of a subset of the components of the system with the rest of it. This interaction depends crucially on a parameter of the theory, the coupling constant, whose magnitude may vary with the energy. The quantum field theory of our interest is the Standard Model of particle physics, the theory which describes the behaviour of protons, neutrons, quarks, photons, leptons and massive gauge bosons. The coupling constant of the theory is small for a wide range of energies. In this regime there is a very efficient computational tool, called perturbation theory, which have proved successful both at the theoretical level, allowing for many interesting computations, and at the experimental level where many of those computations have been measured. The opposite regime (large coupling constant) is called non-perturbative and very little is known about it mainly for the lack of computational tools to approach it. The aim of this project is to develop and use efficient mathematical tools to compute the relevant characteristics of a variant of the Standard Model, the Supersymmetric Standard Model a theory soon to be tested by the new European facility at CERN: the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In order to do so we plan to hire a top-class researcher from a third country who is a founder and an expert in the field of non perturbative techniques, in which European groups are already world-leaders. This will strengthen the relationship between

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Assessing Archaeological Deep Time in Finland through Spatial Exploration 500 BCE - 1520 CE'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The notion of ‘deep time’, or persistent long-term social and economic patterns in history, has emerged as an increasingly powerful conceptual framework for thinking about the development of past human societies. Owing to its time-depth, the archaeological record offers exemplary and unique opportunities for studying the effects of long-term processes on societies - many of which continue to inform modern demographic patterns. There exists in Finland a considerable body of digitised archaeological material that is well-suited to such analysis. This includes the Finnish Heritage Agency’s (FHA) database of archaeological sites and monuments, but significantly also a growing body of metal-detected public finds recovered by members of the public and recorded by the FHA. This latter represents in the Finnish context a completely new body of material. It has not, however, been examined through Digital Humanities methodologies, nor has the FHA monuments data been the subject of a comprehensive scientific investigation. My research proposes to address this gap in the scholarship. The goal of this two-year project is to analyse Finnish archaeological and historical data through Geographic Information Systems and other Digital Humanities methodologies in order to reassess and create a new understanding of the deep history of archaeological landscapes, historical settlement and material culture development from the Iron Age (500 BCE - 1200/1300 CE) to the Middle Ages (1200/1300 - 1520 CE). This project will identify what long-term and large-scale patterns related to settlements and the material culture emerges from the archaeological data, how they relate to the physical environment, and how they change across time. By employing significantly under-used existing database resources

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'European fullscale flow research and technology (EFFORT)' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project focuses on validating and introducing innovative Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) prediction methods for the performance of the ship/propeller combination at full scale, instead of the usual model scale. Existing CFD codes will be extended, extensive full scale and model-scale flow measurements will be conducted, and validation of the CFD predictions will be carried out. Successful CFD prediction of the full-scale viscous flow and propeller inflow will be a large step forward compared to the current practice of model-scale testing or computations, followed by empirical scaling methods. Reduced resistance, improved propeller inflow and propulsive efficiency, and reduced cavitations and vibrations can be achieved. The results will be implemented in design by the participating European shipyards, suppliers, service providers and research institutes, leading to higher design quality and efficiency and increased competitiveness.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Identification and analysis of genes involved in kinetochore function during mitosis in caenorhabditis elegans'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Research objectives and content Although the mechanistic and cell cycle signalling activities of higher eukaryotic kinetochores are now well-documented, the underlying molecules and mechanisms remain poorly understood. The goal of the proposed research is to use C. elegans genetic, molecular and cytological analyses to better understand the mechanisms of chromosome segregation at mitosis. First, I will identify and characterize new genes involved in kinetochore function during mitosis. Complementing Dr. Hyman's ongoing screen for spindle function mutants, I will specifically identify kinetochore function mutants using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy to simultaneously image GFP-tagged chromosomes and rhodamine-tubulin-marked microtubules in living cells. The identified genes will be cloned and further analyzed. Second, I will also study C. elegans homologues of known vertebrate kinetochore genes using existing EST clones to generate antibodies for immunocytochemical studies and initiate an antisense-based analysis of their functions in vivo. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) Although I have strong training in the study of the cytoskeleton and mitosis in vertebrate cells using molecular, biochemical and immunocytochemical methods, I have little experience using genetic analyses of whole organisms, and have never studied C. elegans. The proposed project will therefore integrate thematic continuity with new technical and theoretical training. I expect this to greatly benefit me by imparting the necessary tools to initiate my own independent research program within a few years. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22)
