user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'MOEMS:Micro-Optical MEMS, micro-mirrors and pico-projectors' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Micro-Optical MEMS, micro-mirrors and pico-projectors.Lab4MEMS II will feature the Pilot Line for innovative technologies on advanced Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS). This is not just a special class of MEMS systems in fact, but it deals with MEMS merged with Micro-optics, which involves sensing or manipulating optical signals on a very small size scale, using integrated mechanical, optical, and electrical systems. MOEMS includes a variety of devices including optical switch, array of micro-mirrors, optical cross-connect, lasers  and micro lens amongst others. These devices are usually fabricated using micro-optics and standard micromachining technologies using materials like silicon, molybdenum (Mo), silicon dioxide, silicon nitride (Si3N4), piezo coating, etc.The trend toward miniaturization and integration of conventional optical systems will accelerate the adoption of MOEMS technology in commercialization of many industrial components which are today’s most desirable elements of optical communication, i.e. MEMS-actuated micro optical mirrors, autofocus lens or 3D laser micro-scanners.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Mesh WiMAX Management and Operatin, and Performance Analysis and Optimization'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project addresses some research challenges arising from the rapid development of WiMAX. The main aims of this proposal are to advance the understanding key techniques of WiMAX, and to develop novel network management and operation (M&O), and performance analysis and optimization (A&O) approaches for mesh WiMAX, by introducing novel concepts (e.g., game theory) and techniques (e.g., cross-layer design). The research topics are: 1. Automatic mesh WiMAX M&O: Novel approaches for self-configuration, self-management and self-healing mesh architecture will be developed for mesh WiMAX M&O. In particular, a hybrid mesh WiMAX architecture, which can achieve more spectrum efficiency at a lower cost, will be investigated. 2. Mesh WiMAX performance A&O: The performance of mesh topology (e.g., routing and MAC protocols) for fixed and mobile WiMAX applications will be evaluated through both theoretical analysis and simulation studies. 3. Game theory: Game theory will be used in mesh WiMAX M&O and performance A&O. In particular, a novel concept of incompletely cooperative game theory is proposed after carefully considering the personal features of both the traditional game and mesh WiMAX. 4. Cross-layer design: Firstly, a mesh WiMAX simulation platform considering IEEE 802.16x PHY features (e.g., OFDM and MIMO) will be developed. Secondly, smart antennas will be used in mesh WiMAX in order to gain greater spatial reuse of frequency. Finally, cross-layer design will be introduced into the framework of the game in order to further understand and improve mesh WiMAX.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Ascent to the Kingdom: The Eucharistic Ethics of Maximos Confessor' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

The main thesis of my postdoctoral project, entitled Ascent to the Kingdom: The Eucharistic Ethics of Maximos Confessor, is that Maximos subscribes to a kind of eucharistic ethics in which the human is called to offer back the gift of being in the form of gratitude (eucharistia) culminating in the perfection of being, the unificatory state of deification. I argue that Maximos’ ethics is fundamentally an ethics of Oneness, of the progressive realization – on a personal and cosmic level – of the fundamental unity at the heart of reality. This unitary ethics is summed up in the inseparability of virtue & contemplation. Together, these practices work to overcome the inner fragmentation of the self and the outer divisions of the world introduced by ignorance and sin. All the virtues – be it humility, forbearance, detachment, charity, love, fasting, contemplative prayer, vigils, worship – represent means of overcoming the instability of a life centred upon the finite self (the ego), leading to a more grounded God-centred life. The ethical life, in essence, represents the overcoming of divisions and the progressive (re)unification of self and world culminating in union with Christ and the Trihypostatic God who alone is One. The inherently unificatory practice of the virtues (as manifold expressions of love) is corroborated by contemplative insight into the oneness of God, nature, and the human person. Virtue and contemplation culminate in the unity of divine-human love (agapē).

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Impact of hydrological extremes on alpine karst groundwater resources' (IMKA).

assistant: **Innovation**

Karst aquifers supply ca. 25 % of the global population with drinking water. In some European countries and Alpine regions, more than 50 % of the water supply relies on karst groundwater. At the same time, karst aquifers are particularly vulnerable to contamination, because of their hydrogeological characteristics, such as rapid and turbulent flow in a network of conduits and caves. Karst springs often show rapid and marked discharge variations in response to precipitation and snowmelt. Chemical and microbial parameters also display large variations. Long periods of good water quality are occasionally interrupted by short but intense contamination events, often following storm rainfall. Identifying these events and reacting accordingly is crucial for the safe use of these water resources. Due to climate change, spatial and temporal precipitation patterns will change and the frequency and intensity of storm rainfall will increase. Therefore, contamination events at alpine karst springs are also expected to become more frequent and intense. Thus, the overall goal of the proposed project is to study the influence of intensified storm rainfall events on groundwater contamination in alpine karst regions. The three major methodological approaches of the project include: (i) Detailed monitoring of spring discharge and water quality parameters at selected springs; (ii) experimental field work, such as tracer tests during different hydrological conditions, ranging from low- to high-flow conditions and (iii) application of different concepts for groundwater protection zone delineation and development of an adjusted concept which incorporates the impact of climate change. This will directly allow a re-evaluation of existing groundwater delineation guidelines, the prediction of the

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Gains from Losses of Root and Tuber Crops' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Cassava and yam are important food security crops for approximately 700 million people.  Post-harvest losses are significant and come in the three forms: (a) physical; (b) economic through discounting or processing into low value products and (c) from bio-wastes.  This project aims to reduce these losses to enhance the role that these crops play in food and income security.Post-harvest physical losses are exceptionally high (ca. 30% in cassava and 60% in yam) and occur throughout the food chain.  Losses in economic value are also high (e.g. cassava prices discounted by up to 85% within a couple of days of harvest). Wastes come in various forms e.g. peeling losses can be 15-20%.  Waste often has no economic value which can make processing a marginal business proposition.South-south learning is a feature of the project – with partners in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.  Cassava and yam are contrasting in terms of their use and these differences will contribute to developing a comprehensive approach to reducing losses.  Technologies and systems will be developed, validated, demonstrated and disseminated that focus benefits on small-holder households whilst offering increased income earning opportunities through SME development and links to large scale industry.  These contribute to the comprehensiveness of the approach, and provide diverse learning opportunities and allow examination of losses in a wider food security context.There are 3 impact pathways:1.    reduction of physical losses – focussing on fresh yams storage2.    value added processing reducing physical and economic losses in yam and cassava.3.    improved utilisation of wastes (peels, liquid waste, spent brewery waste) producing products for human consumption including snack foods, mushrooms and animal feed.Cros

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Regulation of viral miRNAs processing' (MIREG).

assistant: **Innovation**

The discovery of RNA interference in plant and Caenorhabditis elegans, and all related RNA silencing processes, was one of the major progresses in modern biology and has added a higher degree of complexity to our understanding of the regulation processes in cell. The most abundant and studied eukaryotic regulatory RNAs are miRNAs. Although the mode of action of miRNAs is well known, the principles governing their expression and activity are only beginning to emerge. Approximately 50% of mammalian miRNA loci are found in close proximity to other miRNAs. These clustered miRNAs are transcribed from a single polycistronic transcription unit leading to a primary transcript which is successively matured by a nuclear (Drosha) and a cytoplasmic (Dicer) RNase III-type enzyme to yield small RNA duplexes.Expression of many miRNAs is spatially and temporally highly controlled. More attributed to transcriptional control, this phenomenon is also now related to differential processing of precursors, or degradation of mature miRNAs.Recently, viruses infecting mammalian cells (mostly of the herpes family) have been shown to express their own miRNAs. These miRNAs can act both in cis, to ensure accurate expression of viral genomes, and in trans, to modify the expression of host transcripts. They regulate fundamental processes in the cell such as immunity, apoptosis, or key steps for optimal infection environment establishment. The project will address how viral miRNAs are processed and how this processing is regulated. We intend to approach the question in a structural way, using the large miRNA cluster found in Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) as a model to uncover mechanisms explaining the sequential steps leading from a long RNA molecule containing numerous hairpins to sh

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Molecular and Clinical Neuropathology of Huntington's disease and spinocerebellar ataxia' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

To develop an understanding of the molecular pathology of Huntington's disease (HD) and neurodegenerative diseases caused by CAG expansion thereby laying the ground work for the development of therapeutic strategies.  This will involve the identification of the normal function of the huntingtin (htt) protein, the changes brought about by a CAG expansion, the generation of cellular and animal model systems of HD and the initiation of a parallel analysis of Machado Joseph disease (SCA3). A number of inherited, late onset, neurodegenerative disorders have been described which show anticipation when the respective gene is inherited through the male line. The neurodegeneration is selective, differs between the diseases and its biochemical basis is unknown. Isolation of the genes for five of these diseases: HD, SBMA, SCA1, DRPLA and MJD (SCA3) has shown the underlying mutation to be a CAG expansion. In all cases, the identification of the mutation has led to accurate diagnostic tests, and an understanding of the molecular basis of some of the genetic features, but it has done little to uncover the chain of events leading to the observed neuropathology. In all cases the repeat lies within the coding region and codes for a stretch of polyglutamine residues (polygln). It is particularly fascinating that these proteins can tolerate such a wide variation in the polygln size within the normal range, yet the further addition of a few residues causes the disease, and, that this apparently universal mutation, when present in different disease genes causes such strikingly selective cell death. An understanding of this process is central to the eventual design of methods to prevent or delay the onset or interrupt the progression of these diseases. We plan to carry out a comprehensive an

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Photonic Quantum Computing'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This CoG will simultaneously address the outstanding research challenges to establishing the feasibility of large-scale photonic quantum computing by:1.    designing, fabricating and optimising the required hardware (WP1) components—inc. waveguides, couplers, phase shifters, delays, interconnects, spectral filters, photon sources and detectors, and control electronics2.    establishing paths to the integration (WP2) of these components into complete systems3.    developing accurate, exhaustive and verified model of errors (WP3) in photonic quantum systems for optimised fault tolerance strategies, and efficient large-scale architectures (WP4)4.    exploring and developing approaches to optimising this architecture both generally, and for specific applications (WP5)Addressing these challenges in parallel will be essential to realising the vision because interim outputs are required to address each challenge, and an iterative approach with the flexibility to redistribute resources and effort is necessary to reach an optimal solution in minimal time.

user: Describe how 'Interplay between cell cycle control and differentiation during the formation of the central nervous system in a basal chordate, the ascidian Ciona intestinalis' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The chordate central nervous system (CNS) is composed of neurons and glia, which stem from cells of a regionalized neural plate. Neural cells exit the cell cycle at specific developmental times before their terminal differentiation.The timing of this exit is often important for the final fate of the cell. This project focuses on the links between cell cycle exit and cellular differentiation during CNS formation in a basal chordate, the ascidian Ciona intestinalis.This system was chosen for its phylogenetic position as well for the simplicity of its embryogenesis (small cell numbers, invariant cleavages), which will enable to study with cellular resolution the communication between cell cycle regulation and differentiation.In addition, Ciona genome has bee n sequenced, annotated and shown to be remarkably small and compact. Finally, powerful molecular tools including a Unigene cDNA set, microarrays, and efficient Gateway electroporation vectors are available.I will address the following issues:- Establish 4D multiphoton confocal live imaging and characterize the spatio-temporal pattern of mitosis of the progeny of each neural plate cell.- Characterize the spatio-temporal expression pattern of all predicted cell cycle regulators and their upstream candidate regulators in the CNS.- Carry out a functional analysis of the effect on the differentiation program of interfering with the cell cycle status of neural progenitors.Special emphasis will be given to the search for mitotic domains and to the regulation of the last cell division. This project will provide a first comprehensive view of the communication between cell cycle regulation and differentiation at play in a chordate CNS.In addition to its interest for developmental studies, this project may unravel novel connectio

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Thermochemical pre-treatment technology for residues from breweries and other biomass to enhance anaerobic digestion'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of the project is the development of a thermochemical pre-treatment technology to increase the gas yield of brewers spent grains during an anaerobic digestion process. Thermochemical pre-treatment will be realised in a pressure vessel by addition of sulphuric acid. Pre-treatment of organic biomass will lead to a break down of the complex lignocellulose structure and release oligomeric/monomeric carbohydrate units which will then be better available for degradation by anaerobic digestion. This leads to improved utilization of the substrate and to a higher gas yield per tonne substrate inserted.After the pre-treatment the hydrolysate is digested in multi-stage biogas system. During anaerobic digestion H2S is formed out of sulphur containing compounds of the substrate by the anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria. H2S is volatile and will be found in the biogas. Because of the fact that sulphuric acid is used in the pretreatment step, the H2S concentrations in the biogas will be increased. A clean up of the biogas is in all cases inevitable before feed in into e.g. a gas engine. The gas cleaning will be realised by using a trickle bed system. Here H2S will be converted into H2SO4 by microbiological desulphurisation process. The H2SO4 solution can be recovered for the thermochemical pre-treatment process.After lab scale investigation, a demonstration plant will be constructed and the process will be evaluated at two different breweries.For further application TherChem process will be tested on 5 different substrates in lab scale.
