user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Bio-Based Polyelectrolyte Nanoformulations for Foliar Delivery of Multitarget dsRNA:  An Approach towards novel BioControl Agents for Crop Protection' (SiNanoCrop).

assistant: **Innovation**

The impact of plant pests on global crop yields is a significant concern, leading to an annual decrease of more than 30% in crop production. The whitefly alone incurs losses exceeding $300 million each year, primarily due to its role in transmitting harmful plant viruses like the Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl virus (TYLCV), which poses a substantial threat to tomato crops worldwide. The use of conventional pesticides raises environmental alarms, negatively affects beneficial insects, and contributes to pest resistance. Initiatives like the European Green Deal aim to promote sustainable agriculture by reducing chemical pesticide usage by 50% by 2030. Spray-induced genetic silencing (SIGS), harnessing the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism, has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional pesticides. This non-GMO approach offers a sustainable and pathogen-specific protection method by silencing key genes in target pests through the foliar application of dsRNA molecules. However, certain challenges remain unresolved, including the cost-effective production of dsRNA, the ability to control multiple species simultaneously, and dsRNA stability and transport in crop environments. This project seeks to overcome these challenges by implementing innovative, safe, and cost-effective approaches. Firstly, we will synthesize dsRNA containing regions from both whitefly and TYLCV through microbial fermentation and apply a simple purification method to achieve high-efficiency hybrid dsRNA isolation. Secondly, we will design new biomass-based formulations using nanopolyplexes as carriers to efficiently protect and deliver the dsRNA. Thus, we will develop advanced biocontrol strategies for dual protection against both the insect vector and its host virus in tomato. Through the integration

assistant: **Abstract**

This project has two thrusts of equal importance. Firstly, it aims to develop new graph algorithmic techniques, specifically in the areas of dynamic graph algorithms, online algorithms and approximation algorithms for graph-based optimization problems. Thus, it proposes to solve long-standing, fundamental problems that are central to the field of algorithms. Secondly, it plans to apply these techniques to graph algorithmic problems in different fields of application, specifically in computer-aided verification, computational biology, and web-based advertisement with the goal of significantly advancing the state-of-the-art in these fields. This includes theoretical work as well as experimental evaluation on real-life data sets.Thus, the goal of this project is a comprehensive approach to algorithms research which involves both excellent fundamental algorithms research as well as solving concrete applications.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Molecularly defined models of human childhood brain tumors' (Medulloblastoma).

assistant: **Innovation**

MYC proteins like MYC and MYCN are transcription factors that are mis-regulated in more than half of all types of human cancer including medulloblastoma, the most common brain malignancy in children. The two main challenges that can guide research in the field of pediatric brain tumors is improving survival and reducing long-term detriments due to treatment toxicities, especially from craniospinal radiotherapy. Medulloblastoma is suggested to originate from specific cells in the small brain, cerebellum. These brain tumors have recently been classified into four distinct molecular subgroups and subgroup-specific driver genes have been suggested. However, the precise role of such drivers in tumor initiation and their importance in specifying particular subgroups has not been sufficiently evaluated in proper cells of medulloblastoma origin.We have generated clinically relevant animal models that carefully resemble some of the defined subgroups of medulloblastoma. In this proposal we intend to use the models to identify the specific cell type these brain tumors originates from. We also aim to refine our medulloblastoma models and develop novel models to define and study cells involved in brain metastasis and tumor recurrence; the main cause of death in brain tumor patients.We have managed to culture normal human cerebellar stem cells and we now plan to model human medulloblastoma development by overexpressing oncogenes or silencing suppressor genes that are defined as clinically relevant medulloblastoma drivers. We will use a forward genetics screen to identify novel drivers and specifiers of various subtypes of medulloblastoma. We hope these combined efforts will help us better model human medulloblastoma formation and we expect to generate tumors that correlate well, both

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Rapid Defect Characterisation by Non-Contact Ultrasonic Scanning' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Surface defect detection and characterization is a safety-critical non-destructive testing (NDT) process for many regulated industries, including railway networks, oil and gas, energy generation, aerospace, automotive, and civil infrastructure. The cost of repairing and replacing defective or old components can be extremely high, both in terms of the costs of the components and the related economical costs of a system shut-down. There are several NDT approaches in common use, but these have a number of operational drawbacks that impact adversely on in-situ examination cycle times, and can lead to the requirement for destructive testing. Through NonContactUltrasonic (Starting Grant, 202735) we have shown the promise of surface-wave ultrasonics for characterizing surface-breaking defects in metals. We have shown that the geometry of the defects has a significant effect on the scattered waves, and developed theory and industrially viable techniques for characterising individual defects. All measurements have used non-contact ultrasonic techniques, giving the potential for a fast and simple measurement system, removing the need for visual testing or removal of parts from service, and which could operate in hazardous environments.The concept has been tested successfully in the lab and a Proof of Concept unit is now needed to combine the processes for analysing various crack formations into a single device. This project will develop a demonstrator unit using electromagnetic acoustic transducers and laser ultrasound – testing and adopting industrially viable detection methods in place of the lab-based system used previously. This will lead to a simple, on-line measuring system for industry, with the potential for productivity improvements of up to 50% over competing radiograph

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Multi-layer 360° dYnamic orchestration and interopeRable design environmenT for compute-continUum Systems' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

The “Multi-layer 360° dYnamic orchestration and interopeRable design environmenT for compute-continUum Systems (MYRTUS)” project aims to provide the technology to make CPS evolving towards a living dimension, embracing the technological principles of the TransContinuum Initiative where “edge, fog and cloud computing platforms are being pulled closer together into a seamless execution environment” and “programming has to be reinvented, with languages and tools to orchestrate collaborative distributed and decentralised components, as well as components augmented with interface contracts covering both functional and non-functional properties”. MYRTUS puts together different technologies to design and operate complex, distributed, and heterogeneous CPS computing infrastructures, leveraging diverse cloud to edge technologies, including from off the shelf CPUs to custom AI accelerators, offered by multiple providers. Main MYRTUS results are (i) the MYRTUS reference infrastructure, comprising a diversity of heterogeneous, autonomous, federated and collaborative computing nodes distributed across the computing continuum; (ii) a novel management scheme featuring MIRTO, an AI-powered cognitive engine capable of orchestrating, at 360°, the whole continuum infrastructure, and (iii) the MYRTUS design and programming environment to design, deploy, and operate such complex infrastructures. MYRTUS solutions represent the instruments to unlock the new living dimension of CPS, pursuing also sustainable and responsible computing, openness, security and trustworthiness, and promoting strategic industrial cooperations by establishing synergies with relevant initiatives and projects, as IPCEI, Gaia-X, TransContinuum Initiative.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Biological routes for CO2 conversion into chemical building blocks'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The high-level goal of BioRECO2VER is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of more energy efficient and sustainable non-photosynthetic anaerobic and micro-aerobic biotechnological processes for the capture and conversion of CO2 from industrial point sources into 2 valuable platform chemicals, i.e. isobutene and lactate. To overcome several of the existing technical and economic barriers for CO2 conversion by industrial biotechnology, the project will focus on minimizing gas pretreatment costs, maximizing gas transfer in bioreactors, preventing product inhibition, minimizing product recovery costs, reducing footprint and improving scalability. To this end, a hybrid enzymatic process will be investigated for CO2 capture from industrial point sources and conversion of captured CO2 into the targeted end-products will be realized through 3 different proprietary microbial platforms which are representative of a much wider range of products and applications. Bioprocess development and optimization will occur along 2 lines: fermentation and bioelectrochemical systems. The 3 microbial platforms will be advanced to TRL 4, and the most promising solution for each target product will be validated at TRL 5 on real off gases. To prepare for industrial implementation and contribute to public acceptance, the technological activities will be complemented with virtual plant design, economic and sustainability assessments and extensive dissemination. All activities will be executed by a well-balanced and experienced group of 2 Research and Technology Organizations, 2 universities, 4 SMEs and 4 large industries.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Prostate cancer localization by contrast-ultrasound angiogenesis imaging' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Prostate cancer causes over 1/4 of new cancer cases and 1/10 of cancer deaths in western males. Efficient methods for early treatment are available. Many lives could therefore be saved by early cancer detection, but this is not viable due to the inadequacy of the available noninvasive diagnostics. Systematic biopsy is the only reliable detection technique, but it is hampered by high costs and causes serious discomfort and health risks because of its invasiveness. Moreover, precise cancer localization is not possible, impeding the use of available focal treatments.This research will push the frontiers of prostate cancer diagnostics by a revolutionary method for localization of cancer angiogenesis (microvascular growth). Different from all methods for angiogenesis imaging, invariably based on the assessment of blood perfusion, I aim at quantifying the local dispersion dynamics of an intravascular tracer. Dispersion is the spreading process of the tracer within the vasculature, which I firmly believe to correlate much better than perfusion with microvascular architectures and, therefore, with cancer angiogenesis.The assessment of local dispersion is challenging and will be pursued through an intravenous injection of an ultrasound contrast bolus and novel spatiotemporal analysis of the bolus passage through the prostate circulation, measured by three-dimensional ultrasound imaging.If successful, the proposed method will represent a breakthrough for early noninvasive and accurate prostate cancer localization, precise focal treatment, and treatment follow-up, with strong potential for use for other types of cancers, such as breast cancer. Moreover, this method will facilitate further groundbreaking research in the therapeutic control of angiogenesis in several pathologies.Thi
