user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'SME network business model for collective self-organised processes in the construction and retrofit of energy-efficient residential districts' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

PROFICIENT aims to create large business opportunities for SMEs in the construction sector by exploiting the newly emerging process of Collective Self-Organised (CSO) housing for constructing and retrofitting energy-efficient residential districts.PROFICIENT responds to the EU-wide trend of self-organised housing process in order to boost the quality and the scale of energy-efficient buildings. Self-organised housing process --through which a group of homeowners carries out new construction and retrofitting projects on a district scale-- reflects a raising awareness towards sustainability and the increasing self-managing capability of European society.The project aim will be achieved through developing a new business model for a “SME network of product and service providers” which will realise value-chain integration in energy-efficient housing market. This business model will enable SMEs to operate, in flexible collaboration with the end-users, on multiple network levels across the EU to jointly develop and implement integrated solutions, and to provide the end-users with a greater certainty of total cost of ownership and lifecycle performance.PROFICIENT will also generate a new business plan for each SME player to implement the network business model. The focal point will be the business plan for local Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) to take the coordinating role in energy-efficient district projects.Project outcomes will empirically be validated through synergies with local and national projects, such as: eco-cohousing in the UK, energy-neutral districts in the Netherlands, and the sustainable refurbishment of high-rise residential building complexes in Hungary and the Czech Republic. Impact will be assured by the establishment of Communities of Practice (CoP), the

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Isotopes of Zooplankton to measure climate and human impacts on pelagic food webs' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In all pelagic marine food-webs, zooplankton are the critical link between the phytoplankton primary producers and higher trophic levels, including fish. On-going changes observed for zooplankton communities in the Mediterranean and other oceans around the world therefore have serious implications for food-web productivity, and their continued provision of ecosystem services (e.g., food security). Current gaps in our knowledge of how the zooplankton component of the food-web functions, limit our ability to sustainably manage our marine resources.The ISOZOO program is designed to make a significant contribution to our understanding of zooplankton food-web processes, and how climate change and anthropogenic impacts affect these. Facilitated by IIF mobility, this overarching goal will be achieved by a multi and interdisciplinary approach, combining stable isotope ecology, ocean biochemistry, physical and biological oceanography, and ecosystem modelling. Working with a set of collaborators at the LOPB in Marseille, we will define Phyto-Zooplankton relationships across a range of nutrient conditions, and estimate the impact of these relationships on zooplankton food-chain length and transfer efficiencies. Established relationships between zooplankton and phytoplankton-nutrients will be used to: 1. develop an Index of zooplankton food-web status that can be applied to monitor food-web response to changing ocean conditions (physics & nutrients) and, 2. parameterise the Eco3M bio-physical model for the Gulf of Lion, to simulate/predict the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic forcing on ecosystem function. Together objectives 1 and 2 should allow for better informed management of marine resources given future variability. Through collaboration beyond the time frame of th

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'A novel approach to solid state wavelength laser generation using luminescent polymers' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project proposes a novel complementary approach using a unique combination of optical effects found in luminescent polymers. From the recent polymer electroluminescence development we know that classes of high efficiency fluorescent polymers exist with emission colours chemically tuneable throughout the visible and near UV/ IR range. From all-optical switching experiments we know that the preferred nonlinear optical response of such polymers is excitation via multi- photon absorption. In wave guides, this absorption can be a highly effective process due to intensity enhancement in the guided wave structure. Initial tests reveal that the combination of these two processes can lead to an efficient conversion of infrared light into short wavelength visible radiation, only limited by the luminescence yield which can be up to 50%. It is the ultimate aim of this project to employ this novel frequency conversion concept to obtain an efficient, low-cost solid-state diode laser pumped blue/ violet laser source.After a first project phase aimed at convincingly demonstrating the commercial feasibility of this new concept, we intend to develop such a laser source in collaboration with a major European photonic device manufacturer and a major materials supply company In this manner, we aim, over 36 months, to achieve a significant advance towards an internationally competitive and innovative solid- state laser source and its downstream exploitation by European industry.Cost and energy efficient generation of blue and violet laser light from microelectronic solid-state devices is an important technological aim with numerous applications in information technology. Despite many man years of effort, traditional semiconductor and/or nonlinear optical devices are still nowhere near c

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Permafrost thaw and the changing arctic coast: science for socio-economic adaptation' (Nunataryuk), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Most human activity in the Arctic takes place along permafrost coasts, making them a key interface. They have become one of the most dynamic ecosystems on Earth because permafrost thaw is now exposing these coasts to rapid change: change that threatens the rich biodiversity, puts pressure on communities that live there and contributes to the vulnerability of the global climate system. NUNATARYUK will determine the impacts of thawing coastal and subsea permafrost on the global climate, and will develop targeted and co-designed adaptation and mitigation strategies for the Arctic coastal population. NUNATARYUK brings together world-leading specialists in natural science and socio-economics to: (1) develop quantitative understanding of the fluxes and fates of organic matter released from thawing coastal and subsea permafrost; (2) assess what risks are posed by thawing coastal permafrost, to infrastructure, indigenous and local communities and people’s health, and from pollution; (3) use this understanding to estimate the long-term impacts of permafrost thaw on global climate and the economy.NUNATARYUK will be guided by a Stakeholders’ Forum of representatives from Arctic coastal communities and indigenous societies, creating a legacy of collaborative community involvement and a mechanism for developing and applying innovative evidence-based interventions to enable the sustainable development of the Arctic.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Networking on conservation and use of plant genetic resources in Europe and Asia' (DIVERSEEDS).

assistant: **Concept**

The centres of origin of important food crops, called Vavilov centres, are sidered to be crucial sources of genetic diversity for present and future crop-breeding programmes and thus for human food safety worldwide. Traditional crop varieties and crop wild relatives are often highly endemic, ecologically rare, and most of them still survive in vulnerable ecosystems in developing countries. These genetic resources, however, are at risk as never before. In agriculture, the widespread adoption of a few improved varieties has narrowed the genetic base of important food crops and led to the disappearance of hundreds of landraces. serving and using plant genetic diversity is vital in meeting the world's future development needs. Given the importance of genetic resources for food safety, and the fact that centres of origin are mainly located in developing countries, we are vinced that it is absolutely necessary to link European researchers with scientists from these world regions that otherwise do have little or no resources to exchange their research results. Therefore our project is aimed to open European research networks to Asian research colleagues (working in centres of origin), establish a communication platform, and to promote knowledge exchange on genetic resources and their management. Participating researchers will come from the European Union, Israel, Thailand, Vietnam and China. The main objective of this project is guided by the International Treaty of Plant Genetic Resources - to jointly elaborate a list of recommendations and strategies. These recommendations will be published and made avaliable to researchers, policy makers, farmers and the general public. Diverseeds will be based on international dialogue and cooperation between researchers working on genetic

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'The influence of DNA sequence on the epigenome' (ATRUN), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Epigenetic regulation of transcription has emerged as a fundamental mechanism in developmental biology, stem cell biology and reprogramming and is frequently impaired in disease. Owing to recent advances in sequencing technology the genome wide distribution of epigenetic marks in different biological settings is being defined in unprecedented detail. Functional chromatin domains display distinct epigenetic marks and a variety of enzymatic activities depositing these marks has been identified. However, the mechanisms that determine locus specific setup of chromatin domains and their significance are incompletely understood. The proposed project is designed to shed light on the molecular mechanisms directing DNA methylation and histone modifications to specific loci. Using locus-specific integration of foreign DNA sequences with different base compositions and lengths, coupled to state of the art chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, DNA sequence determinants of de novo methylation and histone modifications will be explored. In a complementary approach, DNA pulldown assays coupled to mass spectrometry will be used to identify binding proteins of the respective sequences. In particular, I will analyze sequence motifs containing runs of A/T base pairs that are bound by AT-hook domains. AT-runs are a widespread sequence motif and a large number of DNA/chromatin binding proteins contain AT-hook domains, but their role in shaping the epigenome remains largely elusive to date. Our approach will not only identify new factors that contribute to the setup of the epigenome, but also yield valuable insights into the interplay between DNA binding proteins and chromatin modifiers that results in the specificity of the epigenomic landscape.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'EC-Bridge: EU-Chinese forum on eWork, eLogistics, Research networks and Broadband solutions for mobile user and worker'.

assistant: **Concept**

During the past decade, the concepts of telework have undergone a major change. Instead of working in one place away from the office, we now focus on distributed and mobile work at various locations during flexible working hours. Nowadays, the activities are mediated by increasingly sophisticated communications technologies. E-work is becoming increasingly common as a result of general economic, technological and organisational progress. For a large number of employees and entrepreneurs all around the world, the information network already is a very natural working environment and therefore it is of major importance to exchange the knowledge about these issues. Therefore, the EC-Bridge initiative aims at mobilisation of various actors and stimulating high-level debates and cooperation on eWork, and eLogistics, Research Networks and Broadband solutions in the context of Mobile Worker and User applications between Europe and China. This will be achieved through organisation of international conferences in Beijing and Shanghai dedicated to these issues. The presentations will include descriptions of the novel European and Chinese products and solutions, as well as successful EU-funded projects in the area of eWork and eLogistics, Research Networks and Broadband solutions for mobile user. Dedicated workshops and seminars will be organised during the conferences in order to stimulates debates and pave the way to partnerships establishment between the European and Chinese actors. In addition to the conferences, exhibitions will be organised in order to demonstrate eWork best practices and technology achievements of European and Chinese industries. The consortium will also develop trend-mapping studies to define the current status of eWork and eLogistics, Research Networks and

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Thermal Energy Storage Systems for Energy Efficient Buildings. An integrated solution for residential building energy storage by solar and geothermal resources' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

There is a compelling need of encouraging energy efficiency in buildings, enhance green technologies and promote advance thermal energy storage solutions. TESSe2b will enable the optimal use of renewable energy and provide one of the most advantageous solutions for correcting the mismatch that often occurs between the supply and demand of energy in residential buildings. The target of TESSe2b is to design, develop, validate and demonstrate a modular and low cost thermal storage technology based on solar collectors and highly efficient heat pumps for heating, cooling and domestic hot water (DHW) production. The idea is to develop advanced compact integrated PCM TES tanks exploiting RES (solar and geothermal) in an efficient manner coupled with enhanced PCM borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) that will take advantage of the increased underground thermal storage and maximize the efficiency of the ground coupled heat pumps (GCHP). The two TES tanks developed within TESSe2b project will be integrated with different PCM materials; (i) enhanced paraffin PCM, (ii) salt-hydrates PCM, while in both of them a highly efficient heat exchanger will be included. Even if the concept of phase change thermal stores has been demonstrated, TESSe2b project discriminates itself through incorporating; (i) PCM materials innovation, (ii) advanced energy management through self-learning model-based control system, (iii) enhanced PCM BHEs (v) compact modular design of thermal storage tank. Since the lifetime of TESSe2b solution is among the most critical factors determining its acceptability, reliability and success the on the long run, special emphasis will be given in the life-expectancy of the involved components.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Stock Repurchases in the 21st Century: Theory, Evicence and Implications' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Stock repurchases are an important tool for returning cash back to shareholders. Since their regulation in the US in the mid 1980s, stock repurchases have experienced dramatic growth. EU countries, however, started allowing public corporations to buy back their shares only in the late 1990s. Moreover, firms in EU countries that do start repurchases fail complete them. For example, UK and French firms end up repurchasing only 28% and 10% of their declared intention, respectively, in comparison to about 80% in the US. Without good free cash payout mechanisms companies and markets cannot be efficient, and economies cannot thrive.  Why do repurchases efficiently disburse cash in the US but not in the EU? What can be done to make repurchases work in EU countries?  The purpose of this project is to help understand the properties and limitations of repurchases. The results will provide guidelines to governments how to regulate repurchases, to firms when to repurchase, and to investors how to adjust their investment strategies when firms they invest in announce a repurchase.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Processing Russian and European EARTH observations for earthQUAKE precursors Studies' (PRE-EARTHQUAKES) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

PRE-EARTHQUAKES intends to commit EU and Russian researchers to integrate different observational data (including ESA and ROSKOSMOS satellite data) and to improve, by cross-validating, their methodologies, in order:•to substantially improve our knowledge of preparatory phases of earthquakes and their possible precursors;•to promote a worldwide Earthquake Observation System (EQuOS) as a dedicated component of GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems);•to develop and offer to the international scientific community an integration platform where independent observations and new data analysis methodologies devoted to the research on/of earthquake precursors can be collected and cross-validated;Different ground and satellite based observations, different data analysis methods, different measured parameters will be compared and integrated in order to move the research in this filed behind its present frontiers. Specific scientific objective of the project will be to investigate and demonstrate to which extent a systematic integration of independent observations can improve (possibly up to e pre-operational level of precision and reliability) our capabilities of short-term earthquake prediction which are presently based mostly on a single parameter/observation methods. The project will profit of the unique opportunity, offered by ESA and ROSKOSOMOS, to have access for free to their satellite data archives in order to integrate, compare, improve different methods and observations relevant for the study of preparatory phase of the earthquakes. Three European (from Italy, Germany and Turkey) and three Russian Scientific Institutions (from 2 different regions), among the worldwide most quoted for this kind of studies, will constitute the partnership of the project that wil
