user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Calibration of extreme wave measurement on the ocean surface'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Our idea is to revisit the recording of time-series of sea surface elevations in extreme conditions. A better understanding of extreme waves is vital in harbour and coastal monitoring, coastal engineering, offshore design and operations, maritime traffic control, meteorological and climatological studies, wave and wind energy studies. Within the framework of the ERC Advanced Grant MULTIWAVE, which started in April 2012, we brought new physical and mathematical insights into the dynamic shaping mechanisms and statistics of rogue waves, both in optics and in hydrodynamics. While in optics the measurement of such extreme events is accurate, the measurement of extreme waves in the ocean is quite delicate. Moreover experiments can be repeated in optics while in the ocean one has to wait for extreme waves. There are several techniques to measure waves in the ocean: the traditional in-situ techniques as well as remote sensing or optical techniques. They all have advantages and drawbacks and none of them has ever been calibrated against extreme ocean waves. We believe that the in-situ technique once improved remains the best technique for now. Together with the industrial subcontractor, we will optimize wave buoy sensor technology for extreme waves. Based on the fundamental know-how from MULTIWAVE, we are in a position to allow settings to be optimized in the initial design phase prior to ocean deployment and then to test the performance of the optimized device. We will select areas off the west coast of Ireland and times of the year when the probability of recording extreme waves and rogue waves in particular is the highest. If the recorded time-series are robust and accurate, the new wave buoy will be the first wave buoy that can be trusted for recording extreme waves. A mark

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'DEVELOPMENT AND ENHANCEMENT OF A STEERING FEEL MODEL FOR SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT STEER-BY-WIRE VEHICLES'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The overall aim of this research is the development of a force-feedback model for the steering system of super lightweight Steer-By-Wire (SBW) vehicles. The immediate goals are to explore the role of force-feedback (a.k.a., steering feel) transmitted from the front wheels to the handwheel in road vehicles and, connectedly, to emulate and enhance the steering feel in SBW systems. More specifically, the goals are to (a) perform various driving experiments in an SBW test rig to collect input/output data from/to steering system and vehicle dynamics, (b) investigate the role of force-feedback in super lightweight vehicles so that a mathematical model for generating a proper steering feel in an SBW system can be developed, (c) investigate the cooperation of other information, which is obtained from the vehicle dynamics, with the designed steering feel model with regard to driving performance and thus enhance the steering feel, and (d) develop a steering feel model specific to a driver, through a learning algorithm, for more comfortable steering.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Missing persons' families: experiences and knowledge, circulation of persons and things, and solidarity after Mass Fatality Incidents'.

assistant: **Objectives**

If people go missing, their families are left with big questions about someone’s status as being dead or alive. While families of missing persons are dependent on forensic experts and expertise to have their kin identified after mass fatality incidents (MFIs) like war or political violence, forensic experts cannot do their job without support of families. However, due to technical, political or financial constraints, forensic experts and their services often are unavailable in the wake of MFIs. In such circumstances, civil society organizations like family associations become advocates for forensic interventions or initiate forensic activities themselves. While local experience and knowledge are highly relevant for the global problem of missing persons, those experiences hardly flow from the local to elsewhere, including the global. In the proposed project MissingFamilies, I ethnographically attend to the work of the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) in The Hague by studying ICMP’s civil society initiatives at its Hague headquarters and in Mexico, Colombia and Iraq. Attending to civil society programs and stakeholders in the three mentioned countries, I focus on the “circulation” of local experiences, knowledges and solidarity to elsewhere, including the global. Seeking inspiration from Science and Technology Studies, and actor-network theory in particular, MissingFamilies contributes to empirical understanding of the global problem of missing persons and their surviving families; it adds new theoretical and conceptual vocabulary to the materialities of absence and presence; it furthers the notions of circulation and solidarity in the wake of MFIs; and provides opportunities to improve future MFI operations.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Open Platform for Integration of UMTS Middleware' (OPIUM).

assistant: **Concept**

The OPIUM project will validate the introduction of the new wireless based applications in Europe - based on a combination of new wireless protocols (GPRS and UMTS). It will achieve this through the provisioning of end-to-end services across a Pan-European 2.5-3G network of interconnected platforms to demonstrate and validate network and service interoperability, roaming and accounting solutions. The project considers 3GPP OSA/Parlay/JAIN APIs as the starting point service level interoperability and will provide important platform for their validation and enhancement. The trial will also demonstrate the applicability of Virtual Home Environments (VHE). The project results will accelerate the move towards harmonization of 3G-network functionality. In addition to this, the project will give opportunity to anyone in Europe to access the OPIUM test beds through large interoperability events organized by ETSI.OBJECTIVES- To validate the introduction of the new wireless based applications in Europe - based on a combination of new wireless protocols (GPRS and UMTS);- Build a Pan European network of interconnected 2.5G & 3G platforms from multiple platform manufacturers and operators to demonstrate and validate commercially applicable network and service accounting, interoperability and roaming solutions;- Test through trial demonstrates the seamless end-to-end provision of advanced 3G services across the Pan European network;- Demonstrate the applicability of Virtual Home Environments (VHE)/Mobile Service Portals for the delivery of customisable user services;- Accelerate the move towards harmonisation of 3G network functionality;- Give access to complex test beds to any 3G products or service developers.DESCRIPTION OF WORKThe project will commence by defining service requirem

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Development and Application of Super-resolution Localization Microscopy' (STORM) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of the present integration proposal is to establish PI’s career potential via the transfer of a state-of-the-art optical microscopy technique called localisation based single molecule detection, at the host institute. This method can enhance the spatial resolution of traditional optical microscopes by an order of magnitude, and can image samples with structures of sub-10 nm. It can be used for the examination of biological (cells, tissues, etc.) and other samples labelled with traditional fluorescent dyes or photoactive proteins. The main objective of system development is to implement polarisation sensitive multicolour imaging in 3D. Furthermore, we aim to minimise the acquisition time, which is currently the key limitation of the method. These developments will make it possible to monitor the dimer, oligomer and fibre formation of proteins. The scientific background established and the equipment procured earlier at the host institute will provide a solid foundation for the implementation of the objectives, however we aim to use the grant for the procurement of additional equipment specifically required for the project. The method proposed in the system will organically supplement the ongoing microscopy research activities at the department with single molecule detection. Wider national and international cooperation would provide the biological background required for applications. The grant would also significantly contribute to the personal career of the applicant, who has been developing similar systems. With the help of the reintegration grant the applicant would transfer the necessary knowledge and know-how to the host institute and the local research community. Based on his existing cooperation the host institute can join the “super-resolution micro

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Building Scalable, Secure, and Reliable ""Chaotic"" Wireless Networks""' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

As a result of their unplanned, license-free nature, WiFi networks have grown quickly in recent years, giving users unprecedented improvements in wireless access to the Internet. But being “chaotic,” i.e. unplanned, they have grown to be victims of their own success: when eager users set up too many wireless access points in a densely-populated area, the resulting noise and interference hurt everyones throughput and connectivity. Cellular mobile telephone networks are planned carefully, but in order to expand coverage indoors, providers are turning to customer-deployed femtocells, thus incuring the drawbacks of chaotic WiFi networks. We propose a ground-up redesign of chaotic wireless networks, with new architectural contributions focusing on what information the physical layer should pass up to higher layers. We propose a new physical layer interface called SoftAoA that passes angle-of-arrival (AoA) information from the physical layer up to higher layers. Using this expanded physical layer interface, we will first investigate fountain coding and receiver-based rate adaptation methods to improve wireless capacity in the vagaries of the “grey zone” of marginal coverage. Second, we will investigate improvements to security and localization that can be made based on the profiling of incoming packets’ AoA at an access point. Finally, we will investigate how a chaotically-deployed network can mitigate the interference it experiences from networks not under the same administrative control, and manage the interference it causes to those networks. The result will be more scalable, secure, and reliable chaotic wireless networks that play an even more prominent role in our lives.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Uncovering the components and interactors of a novel cAMP signalling pathway and characterisation of its role in cytokinesis in Trypanosoma brucei' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This research project will focus on identifying the components of a remarkably divergent cyclic-AMP signalling cascade in the medically important, pathogenic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei. It will map an interaction network for this unique cAMP pathway and biochemically characterise the lethal effect on cytokinesis that disruption of the intracellular cAMP concentration has on the human-infective form of the parasite.Recently, cAMP metabolism was validated genetically and pharmacologically as an excellent drug target against Trypanosoma brucei: The cAMP-synthesizing adenylyl cyclases of the parasite were shown to be essential for cytokinesis of mother and daughter cells. Similarly, knockdown of phosphodiesterase enzymes (that degrade cAMP) kill the parasite, causing a severe cytokinesis defect. Finally, a newly identified trypanosomal-specific PDE inhibitor, Cpd A, is lethal to the parasite and also results in the same severe cytokinesis phenotype. How changes to cAMP concentrations translate to a cytokinesis defect and the identity of the downstream cAMP effector proteins in trypanosomes remain almost entirely unknown. To rectify this, a newly-developed forward genetics approach was used by the applicant to identify four cAMP response proteins (CARPs) which, when knocked down, give resistance to elevated cAMP and appear to represent part of a Kinetoplastid-specific cAMP pathway. The proposed research project will utilise advanced proteomic and interactomic techniques, combined with optogenetics, high-resolution live-cell confocal fluorescence microscopy and microscale thermophoresis to identify, map and characterize the proteins interacting with CARPs.These investigations will provide essential information on the evolution of the cAMP pathway in eukaryotic organisms and

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Upstream signalling, global regulatory control and biochemical function of central components in the zinc homeostasis network: towards the rational design of technologies for bio-fortification'.

assistant: **Innovation**

This project aims to advance our fundamental molecular understanding of metal homeostasis in plants, enabling the rational design of bio-fortification and phytoremediation technologies. Nutritional zinc deficiency affects more than a third of the World’s population. Also, large areas of soils in industrialized nations are contaminated with high levels of chemically similar harmful metals such as lead and cadmium. Since plants are a major route for the entry of both essential and toxic non-essential trace elements into the food chain, a comprehensive molecular understanding of metal homeostasis networks governing trace element accumulation in plants is highly desirable. Following from recent progress in the field, the proposed project will tackle three selected central aspects of plant zinc homeostasis. The role of low-molecular weight chelators in subcellular partitioning of zinc will be addressed through biochemical analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana ZIF1, a vacuolar membrane protein required for zinc tolerance, through combined reverse genetics, biochemistry and recently developed sub-cellular fractionation techniques. A forward genetic screen will identify genes within regulatory pathways governing zinc homeostasis, based on unique tools and technical expertise previously generated by the applicant. Finally, molecular regulatory links within the metal homeostasis network will be revealed by combining genetic resources uniquely available in the host lab and from the applicant, and subjecting them to genome-wide transcript profiling. This research will not only advance metal homeostasis, but also our general understanding of regulation and signalling in plants. By integrating unique tools, resources and knowledge between the applicant, his laboratory of origin in Austral

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Safety in numbers or beware thy neighbour: collective motion and disease transmission in a migratory pest', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

A key principle in the evolutionary ecology of disease is the degree to which hosts invest in defence against parasites and pathogens. Established concepts in this area include (1) that disease risk is a function of host density and (2) that risk of disease leads to selection on the host to minimize the potential costs of disease. A clear prediction that arises from these concepts is that hosts living at high densities should invest more in defence than those living at low densities: a hypothesis known as “positive density-dependent prophylaxis” (DDP). For the past three years I have studied the African armyworm system (Spodoptera exempta), a devastating crop pest which expresses an extreme form of density-dependent phenotypic plasticity positive-DDP in response to host crowding. An equally destructive agricultural pest, the Australian Plague Locust (APL), Chortoicetes terminifera, has been suggested to exhibit “negative-DDP”, with certain key immune functions shown to be lower in gregarious than in the solitary insects. This project will attempt to determine why species with similar migratory activity appear to have evolved contrary behavioural and immunological strategies to combat disease transmission. The APL is an ideal model system to study the effects of crowding and migration, occurring in a socio-politically stable continent, allowing state-of-the-art field and laboratory experimentation. I will use my knowledge of migratory host-pathogen dynamics and expertise in experimental biology to investigate three main objectives, a) to determine the spatial and temporal pattern of natural disease epizootics in APL populations, b) to compare immune function and disease resistance in gregarious and solitary locusts, and c) to quantify the impact of protein availability o
