user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Flexible Optical Networks – Time Domain Hybrid QAM: DSP and Physical Layer Modelling' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The delivery of fast Internet connections all over Europe is a primary goal of Horizon 2020. In order to avoid the upcoming capacity crunch on transport optical networks, there is an urgent need for a strong investment in the research and development of future-proof optical broadband infrastructures. The Flex-ON project will investigate new technological paradigms in terms of signal generation, digital processing and control-plane management for novel flexible and high-capacity transport optical networks. The primary technical objective of the project is to develop and implement a flexible transceiver prototype with intelligent reconfigurability and arbitrarily low bit-rate granularity. The development of this technology will enable to increase the network capacity and the spectral/energy efficiency, while providing a future-proof flexible solution for an increasingly heterogeneous global network.The main scientific/industrial contributions of the project include:- the optimization of signal modulation to improve spectral efficiency and bit-rate granularity;- the development of novel DSP strategies and algorithms to enable flexible networking;- the development of novel numerical tools for physical layer modelling under the nonlinear (NL) propagation regime;- the optimization of NL compensation methods to improve the trade-off between spectral efficiency and signal reach.In order to guarantee a sustainable and smooth upgrade of currently installed optical transmission systems, Flex-ON encompasses a dual-generation approach:- 1st generation: fixed frequency grid (ITU-T: 50 GHz) and fixed symbol-rate transceivers with variable bit-rate enabled by time domain hybrid QAM techniques;- 2nd generation: flexible frequency grid (ITU-T G.694.1: 12.5 GHz) and variable symbol-rate t

user: Describe how 'Deciphering RNAi machineries required for miRNAs Cell-to-Cell Transfer in Mammals' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Small RNAs are key post-transcriptional regulators of eukaryotic gene expression. Among the most fascinating aspects of small RNAs is their ability to cross cell boundaries owing to their non-cell-autonomy. Recently, the host laboratory demonstrated that 21-24bp siRNAs could act as mobile silencing signals in Arabidopsis. Interestingly, in C. Elegans, systemic silencing requires SID1, a transmembrane channel through which endogenous double-stranded RNA may be communicated to adjacent cells. Functional SID1 homologues and miRNAs found in secreted exosomes in mammals suggest that systemic RNA silencing might also operate in these organisms, raising the question of how this process might be regulated? Tight regulation is indeed anticipated given the exquisite expression patterns and developmental roles of many mammalian miRNAs. A first possibility for regulated miRNA movement entails that it might mostly occur between compatible “emitting” and “receiving” cells. This might be achieved via qualitatively differences in miRNAs effector complexes, localization or shear availability of silencing transporter systems. A second, non-mutually exclusive possibility is that release of miRNA through membranes might be polarized. The identification, in the host laboratory, of a requirement for multi-vesicular bodies for the assembly of miRNA effector complexes supports this idea. In fact, we propose that both mechanisms could be at work in specialized cells, such as secreting epithelia, to direct the selective release of miRNAs either along the epithelial cell layer or in body fluids. Using the mammary gland as a model system we will (i) decipher the molecular requirements for cell to “emit” or “receive” systemic miRNAs (ii) study how cell-polarization might affect miRNA cell-to-cell t

user: Explain how 'Hybrid Substrates for Competitive High Frequency Electronics' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The radio-frequency devices have been so far built exclusively on  bulk materials (GaAs, InP, SiC ). However, new applications are requesting higher performances (operating voltage, maximum power or operating temperature) from those devices and substrates materials appear to become one of the major limiting factors.<br/>GaN is foreseen as the material of choice for High Power Radio Frequency High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT). But single crystal GaN epitaxial layers can only be grown on SiC or GaN substrates (both being  expensive and limited in size and quantity). More recently Sapphire and bulk Silicon have been used as substrates for GaN HEMT, but suffered from low thermal conductivity. The objective of this project is to prove the adequacy of a new type of composite substrate, able to provide a cost efficient solution that will leverage the use of advanced high power devices in wireless communication systems.<br/> The proposed innovative approach is based on thin single crystal seed layer" transferred on top of a thick semi-insulating polycrystalline material tailored for thermal dissipation . This project aims to investigate and optimize two different substrates capable of supporting GaN HEMT devices :<br/>SiC on polycrystalline SiC : the high quality single crystal SiC acts as the seed layer, on top of an inexpensive high thermal conductivity layer, the polycrystalline SiC. This substrate will significantly improve the cost of  GaN HEMT structure grown on it. Si on polycrystalline SiC : The silicon as seed layer will provide large diameter substrate  for manufacturing of GaN HEMT (4 or 6 inches) and the polycrystalline SiC will significantly improve the thermal conductivity as opposed to bulk silicon. This can be dedicated to large volume applications.<br/>T

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Improving Predictions of Vegetation Condition by Optimally Merging Satellite Remote Sensing-based Soil Moisture Products' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Agricultural drought impacts global food security as well as financial flexibility of countries. Considering the natural variabilityof climate, agricultural drought is common phenomenon within appropriate time-frame, while the expected change in climateand the expected decrease in available water resources will further increase the stress exerted on vegetation. Precipitation-based indices are commonly used to trace the current status of the potential drought, while such indicators may miss theonset and only give reliable information about long-term events. On the other hand agricultural drought and its onset can beaccurately traced via monitoring of soil moisture, which has been recently shown to be a skillful predictor of vegetationconditions. In this study, soil moisture datasets from multiple platforms will be merged in least squares framework to obtainan optimal soil moisture estimate, while the optimality will be assured through the use of product specific error estimatesobtained separately using triple collocation error estimation methodology. Validation will be performed via investigation oflagged-correlation between soil moisture and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which is very sensitive to theconditions of vegetation and can be accurately obtained from space through remote sensing. In particular, this study willconsider merging The Atmosphere-Land Exchange Inverse (ALEXI)-, Noah-, Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS)-, andAdvanced Scatterometer on METOP (ASCAT)-based soil moisture information. Resulting optimally merged soil moistureproduct is expected to have higher skill in predicting NDVI than individual products alone.""

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Seamless adaptive multi-cloud management of service-based applications' (SeaClouds) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Clouds reduces time-to-market and provides on-demand scalability at a low cost. Many private and public Clouds have emerged during the last years, offering a range of different technologies each suited for particular types of applications. SeaClouds tackles the problem of deploying and managing, in an efficient and adaptive way, complex multi-services applications over technologically heterogeneous Clouds. This allows organisations to embrace Cloud solutions and avoid risks of unreliability and vendor lock-inSeaClouds provides an answer to questions such as:- How can complex applications be deployed, managed and monitored over multiple Clouds, distributing its modules according to the deployment requirements and the strong and weak points of each offering?- How can complex applicatiosn be reconfigured if run-time problems are detected?SeaClouds' approach is based on the concept of cloud-based services orchestration. Orchestration means the automated arrangement, coordination and management of multiple services as a single aggregated complex application, without the need to modify the code of the services. Orchestration can be formally designed to fulfil properties such as QoS of the whole application. Application reconfiguration is also performed by changing the orchestration of the services, when the monitoring detects that certain properties such as QoS are not respected.The objectives of SeaClouds are therefore:- Orchestration, adaptation, and verification of services distributed over different Clouds- Monitoring and runtime reconfiguration of services distributed over different Clouds- Provision of a unified Cloud-independent mechanism to manage services distributed over different Clouds.- Alignment of SeaClouds's architecture with major standards for cloud interope

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'European framework initiative' (EUROFRAME).

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of this project is to define and implement a new open architecture for microelectronics manufacturing systems, in order to build the new solutions required by industry, through the integration of the best tools available.The goal is to define an European framework for systems integration, starting from existing frameworks and new standards. At the end of the project, the partners will share a common set of rules and tools allowing them to run their manufacturing operations with a new level of efficiency, and to be ready for the integration of new solutions.The partners will work towards making the framework a de facto standard for IC manufacturers, in Europe and further afield. This will bring competitive advantage to European IT companies involved in this area.The manufacturing partners will utilise the results immediately, in the new factories they intend to build and in their most advanced existing factories. The expected benefits can be expressed in terms of yield improvements, shorter cycle time, higher flexibility and higher productivity, but also in their capability to move faster to the new technologies which are the challenges of the next years. Addressing new problems such as wafer tracking or multi-product lots of wafers would not be possible without this new generation of manufacturing systems.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Unified theory of sexual selection'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Sexual selection and sexual strategies include some of the most fascinating and widely-studied phenomena in evolutionary biology. Yet they are also among the most debated and disputed topics. Our ability to understand causal relationships and to fully engage with disagreements and controversies is limited by the disjointed nature of theory, which does not typically engage with the gamete level where central concepts are defined. CAUSEX will seek a common causal and mathematical structure that applies across models of sexual selection and sexual strategy, and engages explicitly with the defining aspects of sexes and sexual selection. This common foundation will be used to bind together and reconstruct central aspects of classical sexual selection theory, to scrutinise relationships between modelling methods, and to develop new models. In doing so, we will also develop biophysical models (fertilisation functions) which explicitly link gamete level processes to fitness. The overall aim is a conceptually and causally coherent theory which is clearly linked to the gamete level. The unification of a disjointed and controversial field will address unresolved challenges and clarify empirical predictions, and will be a major breakthrough in evolutionary biology.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Microbial Resource Management and Engineering in the Urban Water Cycle' (MERMAID) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

We will provide the first-ever research training in the transdisciplinary area of Microbial Resource Management and Engineering (MRME) to develop new concepts and technologies to meet the imminent societal challenge of closing the Urban Water Cycle (UWC), the sustainable management of residual waters and the preparation and distribution of safe potable water.The network consists of 10 regional world-leading Network Partners (NP) from private and academic sectors in DK, BE, UK, PT, CH, SE, complemented by 8 associated partners. Transdisciplinary training of 13 ESR and one ER will span from (molecular) microbial ecology to environmental engineering. Each ESR develops a personal and professional development plan. Training elements include expert training through cutting-edge individualized research projects, cross-sectoral mentorships, private sector internships, and participation in Network-wide PhD schools. Schools alternate between professional and technical training. The ITN ends with a fellow-led international research symposium. A supervisory board tracks project implementation. The private sector is engaged at the highest level: 4 private partners are full NPs.The ITN will provide ESRs with transsectoral training and experience, and instill an aptitude for research valorization, to create opportunity for research careers in public and private sectors. This ITN is timely, significant, and unique, as scientific and technological advances create tremendous opportunities for MRME, training in this transdisciplinary area is essentially absent across EU, and the need for innovation in closing the UWC is pressing, as water resources dwindle, urban consumption grows, and existing infrastructure ages.The ITN will structure the European research area and strengthen ties betwe

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Flexible Complementary Hybrid Integrated Circuits' (FlexCHIC).

assistant: **Concept**

The research and development in the field of flexible electronics in recent years has shown that this technology could be a promising key enabler for future consumer applications due to several advantageous characteristics that are absent from any incumbent technology. These include; unique form factor that allows realisation of unconventional electronics such as bendable displays, as well as the inexpensive/high throughput processing that enables realisation of large-area devices such as sensor systems and/or low-cost disposable electronics e.g. medical diagnostics, identification systems. However, the realization of high-performance integrated circuits on flexible substrates for a low-cost/high-volume market still remains very challenging, primarily due to material and process related limitations. The proposed work program follows a unique approach in order to overcome these limitations through the use of solution-processable organic and inorganic semiconductors in combination with optical sintering methods for rapid material processing. The latter will allow the fabrication of hybrid complementary integrated circuits with performance characteristics beyond the current state of the art on arbitrary substrate materials including flexible temperature-sensitive substrates (e.g. plastic) within a fraction of time compared to conventionally used curing methods (e.g. thermal annealing). This multidisciplinary research work opens new insight into hybrid low-temperature additive transistor technologies and promises very valuable original results merging the broad understanding of the novel organic transistor technologies with novel solution-processable inorganic semiconductors in a complementary hybrid transistor integration process which will be beneficial for the further de

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Parks resources information management via environmental remotely sensed data analysis' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of PRIMAVERA Project is to provide operational support to the Natural Parks and Protected Areas Management organizations by means of introducing modern satellite remote sensing technologies in the process of generating synthetic environmental information products forpark managers. Protected Areas, although often seen as a unique category for the sake of legislation, are extremely varied from the point of view of the territory extension and characteristics, and therefore present problems and priorities that can be significantly different from case to case. In this context, PRIMAVERA proposes a series of basic applications, mainly built on consolidated techniques for hi-res visible and SAR images processing and interpretation, aimed at supporting the resolution of specific problems highlighted by different types of end-users pertaining to the same wide category of Protected Areas. PRIMAVERA collects 4 application themes, corresponding to 4 pilot sites, 2 in Italy, 1 in Greece and 1 in the United Kingdom. Each application theme shall satisfy the operational need of its respective end-users, which can be informally classified as follows: Category 1) Sub-Urban PA 2) Coastal PA 3) Mountain PA 4) Rural PA Description 1) Protected Area with extensive internal urbanisation and high anthropic pressure. 2) Protected Area with public accessible coastline. 3) Protected Area with a wide extension of non easily accessible mountain territory. 4) Protected Area with extensive internal cultivated territory. Pilot Site 1) Italy 1 2) Italy 2 3) Greece 4) United Kingdom Despite the specificity of the single applications, an important by-product of the project shall be the demonstration of remote sensing use within the Protected Areas management organizations, that in principle
