user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Development of Rad Hard non volatile Flash memories for space applications'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The project aims to realise a strong methodology for the development and design of non volatile memories usign standard CMOS silicon process actually used for consumer electronics. Since standard silicon memories, such as other silicon devices for consumer market, fails under irradiation two different approaches are envisaged: the first one is to develop specific technological processes able to substain heavy ions and other charged particles while the second one is more devoted to use specific design and architectures.The first approach, also known as Radiation Hardening by Process (RHBP), is very expensive and tied to technological issues which can be faced only by large corporates and, due to the very low amount of final devices to be realised, very difficult to follow (great deal of effort for a small niche market).The second approach, also known as Radiation Hardening by Design (RHBD), takes the best from standard CMOS consumer processes and, using very accurate design methodologies, mitigates radiation effects on silicon processes.Semiconductor memories, among rad hard integrated circuit scenario, are one of the most critical topic and non volatile memories in particular.Actually both volatile and non volatile memories, excluding few excpetions, are integrated using standard processes and standard architectures. This means that the final device is typically at least Rad Tolerant and not Rad Hard and failure during mission is avoided using Error Correctin Code techniques including redundancy (more devices of the same type are used in voting manner) at board level.The basic goal of the project is to give a methodology for the development of a generic rad hard non volatile memory with the features actually used in consumer market (good retention, reprogrammability and

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Hardwiring the ocean floor: the impact of microbial electrical circuitry on biogeochemical cycling in marine sediments' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Although it is well known that microbial cells can exhibit sophisticated cooperative behaviour, none of the recent advancements in geomicrobiology has been so perplexing as the proposal that microbial populations are capable of fast, electrical communication over centimetre scale distances. This metabolic tour-de-force was recently documented from laboratory incubations with marine sediments. Clearly, the phenomenon is so thought provoking, and its consequences are so far reaching, that independent verification is absolutely needed. Recently, my research group has collected strong evidence that long-distance electron transport is not merely a laboratory phenomenon, but that it effectively happens under in situ conditions in marine sediments. These observations open a broad avenue for new research, since at present, we no understanding of the prevalence of long-distance electron transport in natural environments, let alone, its impact on biogeochemical cycling. In response, this ERC project proposes an in depth investigation into long-distance electron transport in aquatic sediments: when and where does it occur, which redox pathways and microbial players are involved, what is the effective mechanism of electron transfer, and what are its biogeochemical implications. Clearly, this idea of long-distance electron transport would add a whole new dimension to microbial ecology, radically changing our views on microbial cooperation. Yet, the consequences for carbon sequestration and mineral cycling in sediments and soils could even be more astounding, allowing an unprecedented flexibility in redox pathways. Since the same type of extracellular electron transport is at work in engineered systems like microbial fuel cells, it could also improve our understanding of such biotech

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Chemical Regions for Resource Efficiency, R4R: Improving research and cooperation in the areas of resources and energy efficiency in the Chemicals Industry' (R4R).

assistant: **Concept**

Societal challenges, RTD and innovation offer opportunities to rejuvenate and transform the resource intensive chemical and process industries into eco-efficient high-tech solution providers, by switching to bio-based feedstock, improving efficiency of processes, by recycling waste materials and by looking at industry as an integrated system (industrial symbiosis). Objective of the Chemicals Regions for Resource Efficiency project (R4R) is to overcome European fragmentation of ambitious and innovative regions, to improve triple helix collaboration within and between some of the most process intensive European regions by 1) analyzing and benchmarking successful regional technology innovation systems (TIS)  within six complementary regions that target three specific technology domains (alternative feedstock, resource efficient processes and recycling); 2) based on this analyses improving synergies between regions through aligned regional, national and European Joint Action Plans and innovation roadmaps; 3) promoting internationalization, with a strong focus on SMEs,  through an international cluster platform on resource efficient regions, embedded in the SusChem ETP; 4) disseminating a toolset and experience on technology innovation system analyses (TIS), to  European regions in cluster platform. Accelerating innovation in this domain promises enormous impact in resource efficiency by 2030 i.e. a major CO2- footprint reduction of up to 50%, meaning reducing 0.5 GtCO2e annually, a potential 10-fold increase in (bio)renewable raw materials as feedstock (e.g. incl. end of life recyclables), a 30% reduction in primary energy consumption and a 20% reduction in raw materials net use (e.g. mineral, chemical, bio-based feedstock) and secondary (e.g. water and other auxiliary mate

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Super Exotic NUClear systems at the limit of stability: Core excitations in halo nuclei and few-nucleon emitters.'.

assistant: **Innovation**

SENUC is a project aiming at improving our knowledge of the structure and dynamics of Super Exotic NUClear systems at the limit of stability, focusing on the properties of halo nuclei and few-nucleon emitters, through the development of innovative coupled-channel models including core excitations within both collective and microscopic approaches and their implementation in novel computer codes that will be made publicly available. This action will be developed by integrating the researcher in the renowned Nuclear Physics group of the University of Seville, with a strong interest on the theoretical interpretation of recent and new experiments at Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facilities in Europe and worldwide. The research objectives are focused on: 1) the description of core correlation effects in processes involving super exotic nuclear systems, and 2) bridging the gap between few-body collective models and the microscopic many-body structure of nuclei at the dripline boundaries and beyond. A proper knowledge of these topics is crucial to assess how shell evolution shapes the limits of the nuclear chart, with implications for open questions in Physics regarding the strong force and nucleon-nucleon correlations. Accordingly, SENUC will provide an innovative theoretical framework to support the most recent advances in RIB physics, describing processes induced by or involving the most exotic nuclear systems that are available or will be soon produced in next-generation facilities such as FAIR-GSI, FRIB-MSU or RIBF-RIKEN.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'GALS InterfAce for CompleX Digital SYstem Integration' (GALAXY) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project builds on a technology approach in which the EU currently has world leadership, thanks to previous pan-European funding, and in which the participants are recognised centres of excellence. We propose to provide an integrated GALS (Globally Asynchronous, Locally Synchronous) design flow, together with novel Network-on-Chip capabilities, that will materially aid embedded system design for a significant class of problems. We aim to remove existing barriers to the adoption of the technology by providing an interoperability framework between the existing open and commercial CAD tools that will support development of heterogeneous systems at the different levels of abstraction. The project will evaluate the ability of the GALS approach to solve system integration issues and, by implementing a complex wireless communication system on an advanced 45nm CMOS process, explore the low EMI properties, inherent low-power features and robustness to process variability problems in nanoscale geometries.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Molecular evolution in the double-clonal longhorn crazy ant' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The divergent selective pressures experienced by females and males often lead to the evolution of dramatic morphological, physiological and behavioural differences. Social insects hold a special place for understanding the evolution of phenotypic differences, because one sex at least is subdivided into morphologically distinct reproductive and non-reproductive (worker) castes. This research program will investigate the molecular mechanisms governing the evolution of sex (male vs female) and caste (queen vs worker) differences by studying the remarkable longhorn crazy ant Paratrechina longicornis. This species has evolved an unusual genetic system, whereby queen, male and worker phenotypes do not only result from gene expression differences, but also possess different genetic makeups. Under this system, the genomes of queens and males no longer recombine and evolve as separate entities similar to sex chromosomes. Queens are clones of their mother, males are clones of their father, and sterile workers are produced sexually through the union of queen and male genomes. The MELCA project proposes to take advantage of this double-clonal system to study how selection shapes the evolution and expression of genes involved in phenotypic differences. We will sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of double-clonal queens, males, and workers, and link patterns of gene expression with changes in rates of molecular evolution to test predictions regarding the nature of selection acting on genes involved in sex and caste differences. First, we will investigate the effects of the double-clonal system on patterns of sex-biased and allele-biased gene expression. Second, we will determine if this system leads to differences in rate of evolution for genes with sex or caste functions.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Beyond assuming co-benefits in Nature-based Solutions: Applying the niche concept for optimizing social and ecological outcomes' (Niche4NbS) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Urbanization is emerging as one of the major environmental global issues of the 21st century, with strong implications on the health of humans and natural ecosystems. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), broadly defined as cost-effective solutions that are inspired and supported by nature to simultaneously provide several environmental and social benefits, has shown promise in addressing this challenge. However, NbS implementation and assessments often rely on a one-size-fits-all approach, although interventions that maximize one benefit can have no influence on, or even negatively affect others. Furthermore, the current pathways from NbS to various benefits do not rely on a deep understanding of the underlying processes and functional relationships. As a result, the current use of NbS relies on broad targets that exhibit considerable risk of falling short of their objectives, eroding public support in their wake. This project will address these shortcomings by developing and demonstrating a widely applicable, theory-grounded, approach for understanding trade-offs and identifying optimal planning scenarios that maximize co-benefits. Using a mechanistic approach we will assess the effectiveness of NbS across domains in a way that allows mapping, upscaling and predicting NbS implementation outcomes. Innovative use of the ecological niche concept and a set of nature dose-response experiments will enable spatially-explicit multidimensional modelling of biodiversity and health and well-being measures. This will allow us to predict how NbS influence where species will be, and where people will be healthy and happy, equipping us with the tools to achieve coexistence of multiple benefits and social justice. Niche4NbS will demonstrate how to plan NbS that delivers co-benefits and provi

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Stein’s method and functional inequalities in machine learning' (Stein-ML).

assistant: **Innovation**

The project aims to develop quality measures for approximations in machine learning and statistics, using tools of probability and functional analysis, such as Stein's method and functional inequalities. Approximate inference techniques have been used in the recent years as a way to speed up the learning process, which is particularly important in the era of big data. It is, however, necessary for researchers to be able to measure the error of the associated approximations. Indeed, wrong variance or mean estimates in applications related, for instance, to modelling infectious diseases, may have highly negative outcomes. In this project, I will concentrate on three specific aspects of this problem. I will firstly propose tools for measuring the quality of posterior approximations in Gaussian Process inference. In order to do this, I will use the theory of Stein discrepancies which has already been successfully applied, in the context of Bayesian inference, to finite-dimensional distributions. I will combine it with the recent developments in probability theory related to Stein's method for infinite-dimensional measures. Secondly, I will construct a tool for a simultaneous study of the rate of convergence and the output quality of MCMC schemes based on discretising diffusion processes. Both those objects may be analysed using the infinitesimal generator of the underlying diffusion. Indeed, for the former we may apply the associated log-Sobolev or Poincare inequalities and, for the latter, utilise the associated Stein operator. The resulting tool will help users choose (or construct) an algorithm which is simultaneously fast and robust. Thirdly, I will construct a Gaussian-Process goodness-of-fit test, allowing users to test whether the given data come from a marginal of a

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Tough Interface Tailored Nanostructured Metals' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The ideal structural material should excel in strength and toughness. Strength describes the capability of a defect free component to carry load during operation, while toughness defines the load-bearing capability and ductility in the presence of a crack. For an energy-efficient and safe design, both quantities should be simultaneously high. Unfortunately, they are mutually exclusive, rendering their combination a Holy Grail in materials science.The reason for this incompatibility is rooted in the inverse strength-ductility paradigm. Focussing on metals, the strength is enhanced via microstructure refinement to the nanometer scale, but ductility and damage tolerance simultaneously drop dramatically. Safety-related or highly stressed components are thus made from rather soft metals, indicating tremendous economic impact conceivable.The objective of this project is to design new bulk materials that uniquely combine high strength and toughness.Severe plastic deformation will be employed to create novel nanostructured bulk metals and nanocomposites, utilizing atomistically informed alloy and interface design to promote plastic deformation. The largely unknown nanoscale processes that limit fracture toughness of nanostructured materials will for the first time be directly identified by quantitative nanomechanical fracture experiments performed in-situ in high resolution electron microscopes. Correlation of these unique insights with ab-initio calculations and energy-based elastic-plastic fracture mechanics computations will guide paths for further improvement of the fracture resistance.By combining a versatile synthesis technique with highly advanced in-situ nanomechanical testing permitting unique atomistic-level insights into nanoscale fracture processes and a scale-bridg

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Endosomal sorting of AMPA receptors for synaptic plasticity'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Synaptic connections in the brain are continuously remodelled in response to neuronal activity. This process, known as synaptic plasticity, is widely seen as the cellular correlate of learning and memory. Hence, it is expected that the elucidation of the mechanism underlying synaptic plasticity will help to understand the pathological alterations that result in cognitive deficits.It is being increasingly appreciated that synaptic transmission can be modulated by postsynaptic membrane trafficking events, which include the insertion and removal of neurotransmitter receptors, such as AMPA-type glutamate receptors, at synapses in response to neuronal activity. These processes are critical for some forms of synaptic plasticity, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression (LTD). However, the mechanisms controlling membrane trafficking at the postsynaptic terminal and its connection to synaptic plasticity are far from clear.The small GTPase Rab5 is a mediator of protein transport from membrane to early endosomes. More specifically, Rab5 removes AMPA receptors from synapses in an activity-dependent manner and this event is necessary and sufficient for LTD. The goal of this project is to study the role of Rab5 effectors APPL1, WDFY2 and EEA1 in the endocytosis of AMPA receptors during synaptic plasticity. Previous work suggest that APPL1 may act as an early sorting station, while phosphoinositides and Rab5 control the divergent trafficking towards EEA1 or WDFY2 endosomes. In this proposal we will evaluate whether these components of the endosomal machinery organize AMPA receptor trafficking in the specialized environment of the postsynaptic terminal during plasticity. To this end we will use a combination of electrophysiology, molecular biology and imaging on br
