user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Deciphering fundamental constraints on pathogen adaptation' (TRADEOFF).

assistant: **Concept**

Adaptation is considered to be a fundamental determinant of organismal evolution, but getting better at something may have an evolutionary cost. This limitation is encapsulated in the concept of a trade-off, where improvements in one trait come at the expense of another. For example, pathogens that excel at surviving in their host’s absence are often worse at causing disease, and vice versa. Knowledge of how trade-offs impact pathogens is particularly important as it would enhance our ability to predict disease emergence. However, while observations of trade-offs abound, we know little about why they occur. In order to gain crucial insight into pathogen evolution, I propose to investigate the underlying selective, environmental, and genetic constraints leading to life history trade-offs in Zymoseptoria tritici, an economically important pathogen of wheat in Europe with defined infection and survival stages. We will first determine the selective constraints on adaptation by contrasting the signatures of selection on genes expressed during survival, during infection, or both, across 15 global isolates. Then, by phenotyping a diverse panel of 150 Swiss isolates, we will identify infection-survival trade-offs, and test whether or not the strength and direction of trade-offs change in response to environmental conditions anticipated under future climate change. Finally, we will evaluate the importance of genetic constraints for shaping trade-offs by identifying loci contributing to both infection and survival (i.e., pleiotropy), and will furthermore determine whether or not the mechanisms of pleiotropy are related to carbon metabolism. Identifying the causes of trade-offs in a plant pathogen will not only produce broadly relevant insights into organismal biology and ecology,

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Information Processing by Natural Neural Networks'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Sophisticated information processing is required for the huge amounts of data routinely generated. Taking a cue from nature, this project proposes to combine natural neurons, in themselves highly efficient, parallel processing units, with custom designed microelectronic chips. Cell colonies will be grown on arrays of electrodes, which will serve to both stimulate and record cellular response. Driving circuitry, signal-processing electronics and a microcontroller will be integrated on-chip. Dedicated microfluidics will be used to nourish the cells and provide chemical stimulus. Using spatial image filtering as a model, algorithms and data processing methods will be devised to achieve a trainable, reproducible output upon specific stimulation patterns.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Next generation nanowire solar cells' (NEXTNANOCELLS).

assistant: **Concept**

Nanowire solar cells are an innovative and promising way to further reduce the cost of photovoltaic electricity for terrestrial applications. Accordingly, the ultimately goal of this project is to develop a multi-junction solar cell composed of an array of III-V nanowire subcells, electrically connected to a state-of-the-art Si solar cell. In order to do so, two different epitaxial techniques will be used to accomplish the epitaxial growth of the nanowires: standard MOVPE growth and the ground-breaking technology of Aerotaxy. Then, the nanowires will be embedded in a polymer and transferred to a Si substrate. The project will be undertaken at Lund University, a world renowned and leading research center in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The project includes not only the development of cutting-edge nanotechnology applied to photovoltaics, but also a comprehensive training program in transferable skills. A secondment in Sol Voltaics AB is also scheduled to assure the inter-sectoral transfer of knowledge, which in turn contributes to the establishment of a knowledge-based European economy. Therefore, the project represents in several ways a valuable opportunity to the researcher and to Lund University.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Towards an unbiased view of the role of stellar mass in galaxy evolution' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The stellar mass content of galaxies is a key parameter to determine their properties and assess their evolution (e.g. via evolution of the stellar mass function [SMF] and scaling relations). However, our ability to measure stellar masses is limited by large systematic uncertainties and biases, which can reach up to factors of several for the youngest and most actively star-forming galaxies. One of the main problems is that the optical and near infrared (NIR) light that traces the stellar mass does it in a very non-linear way: the oldest stars and the most dust enshrouded ones can dominate the stellar mass although globally dimmer than the young and unobscured ones. ""SteMaGE"" is a systematic multi-wavelength effort to devise a methodology to properly weigh the stellar mass of the different components, resolved in time (via optical spectroscopy to constrain the star formation history [SFH]) and space (via spatially resolved analysis). Two state-of-the-art surveys, KINGFISH, ~65 galaxies imaged in the far IR with Herschel, and CALIFA, with spatially resolved ""integral field"" spectroscopy for ~600 galaxies, will be complemented with optical and NIR imaging. At each position in a galaxy the stellar mass density will be computed by comparing the observed optical/NIR emission with a library of models that reproduce different SFHs and dust attenuation. The far IR and spectral information will refine the prior distribution of models and reduce systematic uncertainties. These ""optimal"" stellar mass densities will be integrated and used to calibrate ""cheaper"" estimators based on fewer global optical/NIR fluxes. These can be adopted on large surveys, yielding systematic uncertainties of 10-20%. This new standard will be used to estimate the local SMF, providing a new unbia

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'RESEARCHERS' NIGHT 2008 IN NORWAY'.

assistant: **Concept**

As in the successful RN projects 2005, 2006 and 2007 in Norway, the “Researchers’ Night 2008 in Norway” is planned as a nation-wide promotion effort in line with the objectives of the EU FP7 “People” Work Programme and the call FP7-PEOPLE-NIGHT-2008, organised  as add-on to the “Forskningsdagene” (Norway’s National Science Week 19.-28. Sept 2008), which has 1000 events arranged by 200 local representatives all over Norway, coordinated by the Research Council of Norway (RCN). The local organisers have agreed in this coordinated RCN proposal from Norway, which includes 15 proposed subcontracted local events selected after national competition. Local and RCN co-financing are substantial. Targeting the large public (kids, teenagers, adults and parents, teachers, entrepreneurs),  media and politicians we will promote the contribution of research and researchers to the society at large – what the researchers do, and can do for you; how researchers contribute to creation of new knowledge, innovation and the establishing of knowledge-based jobs and enterprises, thus improving competitiveness and economic growth of the society - showing the researchers’ passion for research, how interesting a researcher career may be, and that “researchers are among us” as ordinary people. Settings include ”hands-on” experiments, science cafés, and examples from ”real science”. Some projects aim at mass participation - and all seek mass communication of the RN ideas.  We will copy the “RN 2007” marketing and press coverage which reached some 3.35 mill and 8 million people, respectively. A photograph competition and a European Corner stand will be prepared at Oslo Central Station. Industrial partners are engaged in several of the subcontracted events.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Lossy Preprocessing' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

A critical component of  computational processing of data sets is the  `preprocessing' or `compression'  step which is the computation of a \emph{succinct, sufficiently accurate} representation of the given data. Preprocessing is ubiquitous and a rigorous mathematical understanding of preprocessing algorithms is crucial in order to reason about and understand the limits of preprocessing.Unfortunately,  there is no mathematical framework to analyze and objectively compare two preprocessing routines while simultaneously taking into account `all three dimensions' -- -- the efficiency of computing the succinct representation, -- the space required to store this representation, and  --  the accuracy with which the original data is captured in the succinct representation.     ``The overarching goal of this proposal is the development of a mathematical framework for the rigorous analysis of preprocessing algorithms. ''We will achieve the goal by designing new algorithmic techniques for  preprocessing, developing a framework of analysis to make qualitative comparisons between various preprocessing routines based on the criteria above and by developing lower bound tools required  to understand the limitations of preprocessing for concrete problems. This project will lift our understanding of algorithmic preprocessing to new heights and lead to a groundbreaking shift in the set of basic research questions attached to the study of preprocessing for specific problems. It will significantly advance the analysis of preprocessing and yield substantial technology transfer between adjacent subfields of computer science such as dynamic algorithms, streaming algorithms, property testing and graph theory.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Secure, Embedded Platform with advanced Process Isolation and Anonymity Capabilities' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Mobile and embedded devices are rapidly evolving into powerful, ubiquitous personal assistants. As such, they will be involved in security-critical operations like authentication, payment, e-Banking and e-Government applications. Nevertheless, they have to be open platforms on which entertainment applications need to find their place. Being part of the Internet of Things, these platforms become an interesting target to attack and efficient security mechanisms are required to increase people's and companies trust in them. The SEPIA project addresses these challenges and considers trustworthiness,security and protection capabilities of such devices as key enablers for new businesses and the integration of mobile platforms in the eEurope initiative.Establishing trust requires assessments from independent organisations. However,existing evaluation methodologies do not keep pace with the rapidly evolving mobile and embedded market.SEPIA will therefore focus on three topics: Security enhancements of mobile platforms,cryptography and privacy protecting technologies, delta-evaluation and certification methodologies. A major objective of SEPIA is to define a next-generation security-architecture for mobile and embedded systems, addressing topics such as isolated execution space, virtualization as well as secure protection of confidential data. Moreover, privacy protecting mechanisms based on strong cryptography and time- and cost efficient certification processes reducing the time from design to market will be researched in the project. In SEPIA, establishing trustworthiness is seen as an asset that is considered right from the design phase rather than being addressed as add-on feature.SEPIA will include theoretical and practical research as well as the development of proof-of-c

user: Describe how 'Materials and components, industrially prefabricated, to assist the application of bioclimatic design principles in the building sector.' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Bio climatic design principles help significantly to reduce primary energy consumption in the buildings. However there is a lack of bio climatic design applications in massive building constructions. A reason for this is the lack of ready to use industrially prefabricated materials and components to assist the application of common techniques used to enhance bio climatic building behaviour in conjunction with the appropriate architectural design methodologies. The goal of the present research is to design and built prototypes of building materials and components which will assist either used individually or, preferably, in a well designed system, the application of bio climatic principles in, ideally, a wide range of buildings. Research results are expected to release a huge potential of bio climatic applications in the building sector. Moreover the impact on the social, economic and EU policies objectives is expected to be high and positive.

user: Describe how 'Analysis of natural variation for cold tolerance in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The identification of the genetic variants underlying adaptive traits constitutes one of the major challenges for modern biology. In this proposal we focus on the ability of plants to tolerate low temperatures. The molecular basis of cold tolerance has been widely investigated in crop species since freezing temperatures can severely affect quality, yield and production. Through the use of the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana a dramatic increase in the understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying cold tolerance was achieved. However, many questions remain still open with regard to the nature of the genes involved in the response of plants to cold temperatures. In this project an original, interdisciplinary strategy will be adopted to address naturally occurring variation for cold tolerance in A. thaliana. First, with the aim of identifying the genes underlying variation for cold tolerance in A. thaliana, association mapping will be performed, making use of a set of 1300 A. thaliana accessions, genotyped for 250.000 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. In contrast to classical linkage mapping, association mapping has the potential to identify single or a few genes. However, it is affected by population structure, which can eventually lead to a high rate of false positives. Therefore, F2 and F3 progenies will be designed, and used in classical linkage mapping to confirm that associations are due to linkage with causative polymorphisms rather than being spurious correlations due to population structure. Second, to elucidate the selective forces to which the loci identified in the association study have been submitted nucleotide variation will be analyzed at the loci as well as at their surrounding genomic regions and compared to the genome-wide polymorphism patter

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Protein micro-array for enhanced diagnostics at low cost by integration of new technological developments' (NANOSPAD).

assistant: **Innovation**

NANOSPAD aims to develop a highly sensitive system for rapid analysis of protein micro-arrays, with compact size and features suitable for use by general practitioners. It will represent a demonstration of a methodology suitable in general to the rapidly growing field of proteomics and will be validated in allergy diagnostics (serum allergen-specific IgE). NANOSPAD is focused on miniaturization as an effective way of achieving improved performance for analytical methods. It will therefore pursue new developments in diversified technologies: optoelectronics, microelectronics, micro-fluidics, surface chemistry, chemiluminescence and electro-chemiluminescence.A new monolithic matrix detector of Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD) will be developed in silicon microelectronic technology, with each element capable of detecting single optical photons with high quantum efficiency and low noise and number of elements matched to the number of spots in a microarray. This detector will be the base for the design and fabrication of a prototype of compact analytical apparatus, where the detector elements must be conjugated to the spots of the microarray and various electronic, optical, mechanical and microfluidic subsystems must efficiently interact. New coating techniques will be established for the surface of the microarray substrates (glass, silicon, ITO) with polymers for specific bonding of target proteins.Chemiluminescent and electro-luminescent labels will be developed, aiming to enable highly sensitive measurement of serum IgE and avoid problems associated with laser excitation of fluorescent probes. Dedicated software will be developed for making possible easy and efficient operation of the apparatus by general practitioners and for a better understanding, evaluation and d
