user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Deciphering the molecular mechanism(s) behind the evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis towards slow growth, and the impact on virulence and persistence' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), responsible for 1.5 million deaths per annum. Moreover, due to the ability of Mtb to persist in the host, a further one third of the world population is latently infected and at risk for disease later in life. So far, the major vaccine against TB (Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine) has a limited impact on the global TB epidemic, as it does not always prevent pulmonary infections in adults. Furthermore, drug resistant strains have emerged and spread worldwide, threatening to render the actual 6-month treatment ineffective. In this context, studying the molecular mechanisms underlying mycobacterial virulence and persistence are crucial to develop new strategies to treat TB. A hallmark of Mtb is its slow growth rate. Recent phylogenetic studies have demonstrated that ancestral mycobacteria were first fast-growing bacteria, before an evolutionary separation into fast- and slow-growing mycobacteria. Intriguingly, all the main human mycobacterial pathogens, including Mtb, are slow-growers, suggesting the importance of slow-growth as a successful evolutionary step to become professional human pathogens. Using cutting-edge multidisciplinary approach, combining real-time single cell techniques and genetic approaches, I will, in collaboration with the Brosch lab, decipher the molecular mechanism(s) which led to the evolution of Mtb towards a slower growth, by taking advantage of the fast-growing M. canettii, closely related to the ancestor of Mtb and genetically tractable. I will also directly investigate the biological importance of slow growth on the virulence and persistence of Mtb by genetically engineering Mtb strains with different growth rates. Altogether, this work

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Process for engineering polymer coatings' (POLCOAT).

assistant: **Innovation**

1. Thermoplastic polymers have been developed for the new thermal spraying process. The polymers are based on PE, EAA, UHMWPE and thermoplastic epoxies. Evaluation by the end-user partners has shown that the polymers provide improved splat flow and high strength in the coating state.2. Co-extrusion of two appropriate polymers to produce a two-phase material has been shown to provide improved performance. The two-phase polymers are derived from a high-viscosity polymer and a low-viscosity polymer. The improved performance is in the terms of:a) grindability with respect to particle size distribution and increased throughput;b) coating quality (mechanical strength, wear and corrosion resistance) due to improved particle flow during deposition.3. A thermal spray system has been designed for the deposition of non-degraded thermoplastic coatings. The equipment uses a combustion reaction to generate gas flows of controlled temperature and velocity profiles. The feedstock powder particles are maintained in a thermo-kinetic window during deposition: the temperature is between the melting and degradation temperatures, and the particle velocity at impact is sufficient to achieve adequate flow.Objectives and content The proposal is directed at developing a new environmentally compatible, surface-treatment technology for increasing the efficiency of operation and durability of engineering components and outside steel structures. High-performance polymer coatings have major potential in raising the lifetime of industrial products and added value of industrial products, particularly for heavy-duty applications. However, these polymers cannot be adequately applied by the existing coating techniques. Painting incurs environmental problems and produces coatings of only limited quality. P

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Control of cell differentiation in the zebrafish gut : role of the notch pathway'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The renewal of gut cells requires the correct control of stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Defects in these key events are responsible for pathologies, such as cancers and developmental abnormalities. The evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling pathway is implicated in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. The role of this pathway in gut will be primarily studied in zebra fish which is suitable for in vivo experiments. We will first describe the normal pattern of cell types and population dynamics in the zebra fish hindgut. This part will require the use of a reporter gene such as GFP. On the basis of these observations, the analysis will then be performed in Notch pathway zebra fish mutants already available (mind bomb, after eight, deadly seven) or in zebra fishes with artificial gene misexpression. Finally, gut cell differentiation studies will also be performed in mice carrying mutations of the Notch signaling pathway. Because most of the mutations are embryonic lethal, this study will require to graft embryonic mouse gut rudiments sub-multaneous into nude mice and study the development and differentiation of the segments of gut. Results should show if the same conclusions are true for zebra fish and mouse, and should help to gain insight into mechanisms of vertebrate gut development.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Collective behaviour of protein motors', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Protein motors are biological macromolecules which are driven by chemical energy and perform mechanical work. They can operate as single particles or they can cooperate in groups. This project is a detailed theoretical analysis of the behaviour of cooperating motor proteins in the framework of simplified stochastic models. Such models allow the calculation of the velocity of the motor as a function of the externally applied force and the ATP concentration. Various questions will be addressed: If the particles are rigidly coupled, cooperation can lead to dynamical phase transitions in the behaviour of the motor. An important problem is the modification of these cooperative effects if the rigidity of the system is relaxed and the particles have freedom to fluctuate individually. In a flexible incommensurate system, soliton-like defects could play an important role. The onset of cooperativity for increasing number of motor molecules will also be studied.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'WEARable HAPtics for Humans and Robots'.

assistant: **Concept**

The complexity of the world around us is creating a demand for cognition-enabled interfaces that will simplify and enhance the way we interact with the environment. The recently unveiled project Glass by Google is a case that seeks to address this demand for the sense of vision. Project WEARHAP, developed in this proposal, aims at laying the scientific and technological foundations for wearable haptics, a novel concept for the systematic exploration of haptics in advanced cognitive systems and robotics that will redefine the way humans will cooperate with robots. The challenge of this new paradigm stems from the need for wearability which is a key element for natural interaction. This paradigm shift will enable novel forms of human intention recognition through haptic signals and novel forms of communication and cooperation between humans and robots. Wearable haptics will enable robots to observe humans during natural interaction with their shared environment. Research challenges are ambitious and cross traditional boundaries between robotics, cognitive science and neuroscience. Research findings derived from distributed robotics, biomechanical modeling, multisensory tracking, underaction in control and cognitive systems will be integrated to address the scientific and technological challenges imposed in creating effective wearable haptic interaction. To highlight the enabling nature, the versatility and the potential for industrial exploitation of WEARHAP, the research challenges will be guided by representative application scenarios. These applications cover robotics, health and social scenarios, stretching from human-robot interaction and cooperation for search and rescue, to human-human communication, and interaction with virtual worlds through interactive games.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Advanced Electrochemical Treatments for Cork Washing Wastewater Remediation towards a Circular Economy'.

assistant: **Objectives**

With 162,000 tons/year, Portugal and Spain have the largest world quota of cork production, being cork stoppers for wine and champagne the “star product”. About 90% of the cork stoppers used worldwide are produced in these two countries. The European Cork Federation established mandatory practices to ensure the quality of the natural stoppers which include several washing, bleaching and disinfection steps. These procedures generate large volumes of wastewaters up to 195,000 m3/year that contain non-biodegradable organic matter, hydrogen peroxide used as disinfectant and different dissolved salts; and constitute a serious risk to environment and human health. The E-CORK project builds on the premise that cork washing wastewaters can be effectively treated by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes. The main goal is to develop an optimized electrochemical treatment line for the depuration and reutilization of cork washing wastewaters taking advantage of the hydrogen peroxide in the main effluent (from by-product to reactant), attending not only to the treatment performance, but also to its technical, economic and environmental feasibility. With this approach and bearing in mind the possibility of reuse the regenerated wastewaters, the E-CORK project aims to revolutionize the cork industry towards a circular economy. The inherent responsibility of Portugal and Spain R&D to promote cleaner and more cost-efficient technologies that safeguard cork production and aquatic environments; the close link with the industrial needs; and the experience of the candidate and supervisor at University of Coimbra, make the perfect conditions to successfully develop this project.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The political economy of migration in an integrating europe' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The PEMINT project's objective is to understand how decision-making processes concerning labour recruitment by national and multi-national firms lead to different outcomes in terms of labour mobility and international migration under the impact of different welfare provisions, fiscal systems, and regulatory frameworks. Despite the enhanced Europeanised resonance that free movement, welfare and fiscal systems have acquired, these systems remain strongly embedded in national political, institutional and social contexts, creating problems of 'incomplete European integration'. The project's objectives can be organised under four headings:implications for labour recruitment;problems of incomplete European integration;individual agency and unexpected outcomes;the impact of emerging institutions of global governance.

user: Explain how 'Development of a high speed online inspection system with novel electro-optical deflection' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The performance of the existing laser scanning inspection systems is largely li mited by the low scanning speeds and low robustness of the mechanical scanners. The faster acousto-optical scanners need large efforts in high frequency elect ronics for ultrasound generation and are therefore expensive. A new high speed dimensional online inspection system will be developed, including a novel soli d-state electro-optical scanner. This microsystem for deflection of the laser b eam will consist of an electro-optical crystal with prism arrays of alternating C-axis produced by deep domain inversion technology. Small dimensions of the s canner, no thermal stabilization and no movable parts will lead to high speed, robustness and low price. By applying laser time-of-scan triangulation techniq ues and developing high speed dataprocessing for dimensional measurements a sta ndardized, general purpose, demonstrator will be build. Field tests in two diff erent applications, thickness variations on metal sheets with 40 m accuracy pr oduced with speeds of 100 m/min in an aluminium foundry and defect recognition down to 50 m on sealing surfaces of parts produced by metal sintering as fast as 1 piece/sec will be performed. Two end-users with different industrial appl ications, four developers of the system components, detector, electronics, hard - and software and two research organizations for the electro-optical scanner d evelopment and system engineering form a well balanced consortium of interdisci plinary specialists. Exploitation potential is seen in industrial applications like automatic inspection, optical scanning like bar code reading and writing, defect recognition in electronics chip industry and laser TV.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Smart Dust Batteries Integrated with Near-Zero-Power Surveillance'.

assistant: **Concept**

The lack of an on-chip power source providing uninterrupted energy impedes the progress of smart dust in moving from lab-level demonstrations to everyday applications. Tiny generators relying on external energy sources face spatial and temporal limitations. Batteries with adequate energy are not available in an area of less than 1 mm2, and the reasons for their absence are manifold. Mainstream battery architectures require either thick or tall electrodes created by etching into the wafer, but it is very fiddly to deposit materials onto these electrodes without defects. High-capacity materials such as lithium cobalt oxide, sulfur and lithium metal are often excluded because on-chip techniques to synthesize or stabilize such materials are missing. Moreover, a low-power monitor to provide precise information about the energy storage state and battery health is essential for real applications but unexplored so far. These difficulties demand a paradigm shift in microbattery development to pursue novel approaches that offer energy-dense microbatteries integrable into microsystems. Therefore, we propose a micro-origami technology for on-chip microbatteries using aqueous zinc battery chemistry, together with embedded surveillance based on a non-volatile redox transistor with near-zero power consumption. SMADBINS is expected to bring advances in battery chemistry and materials and on-chip energy production and management, boosting research for microbattery and smart dust applications, as was recently highlighted by the PI [Nature, 2021, 589, 195]. The PI has decisively contributed to the field of aqueous microbatteries and developed the smart dust battery concept together with his team in several publications. However, a smart dust battery has not been achieved yet. Therefore, t

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'WingtraOne, the leading VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) drone for mapping and surveying, uniquely combining long range, heavy payloads and ease of use' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Drones and footage from their cameras have become familiar sights over the past decade. Yet Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have only scratched the surface of their commercial potential. Drone technology has evolved beyond its military roots to encompass a broad array of business applications. Goldman Sachs estimates that the commercial segment holds the most potential for growth, with a triple-digit CAGR over these five years. They expect that by 2020 the global drone market size will grow by 42% in precision agriculture and 36% in inspection and monitoring of infrastructures. WingtraOne is our revolutionary fully autonomous hybrid drone. It takes off autonomously and vertically and is, therefore, runway independent. That means it can be flown anywhere to map areas currently unreachable by available mapping solutions. After take-off, it transitions into flying “like a plane”, capable of covering 14 times the range of multirotor drones, even in technically difficult high winds. Also, commercially available drones lack the payload capacity required for many business applications. WingtraOne’s superior payload weight permits it to carry the best in class cameras and Post-Processed Kinematics (PPK) technology. This is revolutionary for industries such as surveying and agriculture. With the WingtraOne there will for the first time be a commercially viable long-range solution. Anyone can make digital maps anywhere. We are a spin-off from the ETH Autonomous System Lab in Zurich. As a team, our mission has been to create a drone that combines the usability of multirotors with the coverage of fixed-wing drones with heavy payload capacity. We incorporated Wingtra and further developed our prototype drone. We now seek funding to finalise the development and exploit the commercial
