assistant: **Impact**

SPRINTER will provide a set of low-cost, energy-efficient, and ultra-dynamic optical transceivers and an optical switching solution to cope with the diverse needs of the industrial networks and expedite their truly digital transformation. SPRINTER will combine the best-of-breed optical components and methods from various powerful but complementary photonic integration platforms to develop low-cost and energy-efficient 200 Gb/s optical transceivers, and ultra-fast wavelength-tunable 10 Gb/s optical transceivers. Leveraging well-proven integration techniques that allow for the fabrication of complex 3D photonic integrated circuits, the project will provide a disruptive low-loss and polarization-insensitive reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer, optimized for operation within space-division multiplexing networks. Considering the ultra-dynamic nature of the industrial networks due to the deployment of either temporarily fixed or moving remote nodes, SPRINTER will provide a set of groundbreaking photonics-enabled transceivers supporting wireless connectivity by means of a free-space optical or a mmWave channel. The transceivers will be able to operate reliably in indoor environments, as well as, outdoor environments thanks to the complementary characteristics of the two channels. The project will also develop a unified network platform, providing the required methods and tools to support time-deterministic operation, and enable real-time communication with guaranteed service quality. In order to showcase SPRINTER's full potential, the developed technology will be evaluated within application scenarios that will be deployed in a relevant industrial environment incorporating a fully operational closed-loop control system.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Optimised moulded pulp for renewable packaging solutions' (PULPACKTION).

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of PULPACKTION project is to develop cellulose-based tailored-to-purpose packaging solutions for specific food and electronic packaging applications which needs medium and high barrier requirement’s and that nowadays are packing in polymer fossil based solutions. This innovation will take advantage of the flexibility in the wet-moulding production of wood pulp based materials. Different types of wood pulp will be combined to prepare slurries for wet-moulding applications. These slurries will be additivated with biopolymers and other bio-based compounds in order to tailor the final properties of the resulting wet-moulded materials. By tailoring the composition of the wet mouldable slurry, a wide range of final properties in the resulting dry material will be achieved. This flexible packaging manufacturing system will be combined with 100% bio-based coatings and films on the cellulose-based substrate. To fulfil the properties required for PULPACKTION’s specific packaging applications using a fully bio-based approach, additional barriers will be implemented onto the wet moulded substrate. For this purpose, new bio-based polymer blends will be optimized. These new blends, containing biopolymers such as thermoplastic starch (TPS), poly (lactic acid) (PLA), other bio-additives, and reinforcements such as microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), will be processed into multilayer films, composites and coatings. In this manner, not only coatings for improved barrier properties, but also 100% bio-based films for packages’ top lids will be produced. Therefore, a final 100% bio-biobased integral packaging solution with similar properties to existing fossil-based packaging solutions will be achieved.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Molasses provisioning to disrupt the mutualistic association of the biocontrol agent Oecophylla smaragdina weaver ants with honeydew-producing pest insects in mango in Thailand' (MolassAnt), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Oecophylla smaragdina weaver ants are important biocontrol agents of fruit crops in Thailand but their mutualistic association with honeydew-producing insect pests can result in an ineffectual crop protection and cause economic harm to farmers. I will take an innovative, application-oriented, and interdisciplinary approach by disrupting the weaver ant-Hemiptera mutualism in Thailand with sugarcane molasses as honeydew and sugar alternative in mango (Mangifera indica) and eventually improve the yield of mangoes and of queen brood, a socioeconomically valued edible by-product of which its harvesting is compatible with weaver ant biocontrol. Specifically, I will evaluate the impact of molasses and sugar provisioning on 1) weaver ant presence in the trees; 2) abundance of honeydew-producing insect pests; 3) weaver ant tending of honeydew-producing insect pests; 4) abundance of the natural enemies of honeydew-producing insect pests; 5) plant damage by honeydew-producing insect pests; and 6) quantity, nutritional composition, and microbial load of mangoes and queen brood. I will apply the experimental treatments (i) molasses provisioning of weaver ants, (ii) 50% sugar solution provisioning of weaver ants, and (iii) no molasses/sugar provisioning of weaver ants (control), with appropriate replication and sample size during 23 months. KU Leuven and Kasetsart University experts will coach and advise me in relevant insect identification, plant damage symptoms, interpreting analytical results, project management, and will analyse nutrient composition and microbial load of mangoes and queen brood. I will be exposed to a corporate research environment through a secondment at the biocontrol company Biobest. I will promote the project on Twitter and YouTube and organize a field worksh

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Mueller cells as regulators of retinal expansion and eye size' (MEYEREG).

assistant: **Innovation**

Myopia (or near-sightedness) is a condition where the eye grows larger than normal. It is the fourth most common cause of blindness. There is currently no effective treatment to stop its development, and corrective lenses are used instead to compensate for the excessive eye length. Myopia is a common condition that affects more than one third of the European population, and is anticipated to increase in the future. This project aims to identify the mechanism for malignant eye growth. The retina is a tissue sheet in the eye responsible for photodetection, and Mueller cells are the only cells spanning the entire retinal thickness. During excessive eye growth a signal is transduced from the retina outwards to the hard shell of the eye, the sclera, but the nature of the signal is unknown. We propose that eye size is controlled by alteration of the retinal structure, allowing pressure to act on the underlying tissue as a signal. The contractile tone of Mueller cells can be pharmacologically altered in vitro, by substances implicated in myopia development. We believe that relaxation of Mueller cells either increase the retinal thickness thereby increasing the pressure, or increased retinal elasticity allow the intraocular pressure to act on the pigment epithelium as a signal for eye growth. To reveal the role of retinal and Mueller cell biomechanics in myopia, we will perform rheology measurements on retinae from guinea pig eyes with induced myopia. Comparisons with normal retinae will give a clear understanding if increased retinal elasticity is correlated with myopic development. We will investigate if the retina expands after exposure to drugs causing myopia, and by use of a custom-made device we will study if the retina transduce a mechanical force. To identify new pharma

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Transposable elements, their controllers and the genesis of human-specific transcriptional networks' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Transposable elements (TEs) account for more than two thirds of the human genome. They can inactivategenes, provide novel coding functions, sprinkle chromosomes with recombination-prone repetitivesequences, and modulate cellular gene expression through a wide variety of transcriptional andposttranscriptional influences. As a consequence, TEs are considered as essential motors of evolution yetthey are occasionally associated with disease, causing about one hundred Mendelian disorders and possiblycontributing to several human cancers. As expected for such genomic threats, TEs are subjected to tightepigenetic control imposed from the very first days of embryogenesis, in part owing to their recognition bysequence-specific RNA- and protein-based repressors. It is generally considered that the evolutionaryselection of these TE controllers reflects a simple host-pathogen arms race, and that their action results in theearly and permanent silencing of their targets. We have recently uncovered new evolutionary evidence andobtained genomic and functional data that invalidate this dual assumption, and suggest instead thattransposable elements and their epigenetic controllers establish species-specific transcriptional networks thatplay critical roles in human development and physiology. The general objective of the present proposal is toexplore the breadth of this phenomenon, to decipher its mechanisms, to unveil its functional implications,and to probe how this knowledge could be exploited for basic research, biotechnology and clinical medicine.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'How mechanical forces regulate tissue growth in defined 3D geometries' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Growth and regeneration of complex tissues are emergent phenomena resulting from the cooperative action of many cells. Besides biological signaling, the geometry of the environment plays an important role in coordinating cell behavior, and determines the shape and structure of newly formed tissue. How precisely environmental geometries are able to control cell proliferation, differentiation and extracellular matrix deposition remains a challenge. In this project, a novel in vitro model platform will be developed to determine the interplay of external geometry and cell generated mechanical forces to direct multicellular tissue formation in 3D scaffold geometries. This approach integrates a quantitative growth assay using osteoblasts as cell model with leading-edge techniques for 3D substrate fabrication and molecular strain sensors. Matrix strains and stress fluctuations will be measured under systematically varying geometrical conditions while simultaneously monitoring proliferation and extracellular matrix production in order to test how mechanical parameters and cell behavior are correlated. The contribution of different mechanobiological mechanisms by which cells react to mechanical signals will be identified by selectively inhibiting cellular adhesion, contractility, and mechanotransduction pathways. The results of this project will not only shed light on the mechanisms behind osteoblast tissue deposition and bone remodeling, but also on the role of geometry and mechanics for tissue growth and regeneration in general. The Vogel lab at ETH Zurich has developed world leading techniques for molecular imaging of extracellular matrix strains, and for the fabrication of controlled cell environments. The combination of these techniques with the skills and expertise of the

assistant: **Innovation**

Waste2BioComp project aims to demonstrate relevant scale production of bio-based products and materials, as alternatives to traditional materials with high environmental footprint, using innovative manufacturing technologies. The project integrates all stages in the bio-based products´ life cycle, starting from R&I activities regarding the sourcing of feedstocks for the development of bio-based precursors and intermediate materials, smart inkjet printing techniques, and smart manufacturing technologies for final products, and the final demonstrators, which will entail the production on a relevant scale of the following bio-based products: shoe sole materials with different hardness; three-layered shoe insoles; plastic films/packaging with different flexibilities; social face masks; fashion garments printed with bio-based inks; leather and textile shoes printed with bio-based inks; paper for packaging printed with bio-based inks. Waste2BioComp will also develop sustainability and toxicity assessments to the developed materials and products, as well as re-manufacturing and recycling approaches to ensure circularity by closing the material loop. Furthermore, the project will develop dedicated training activities to support the creation of a skilled workforce in biomaterial-based manufacturing sectors, particularly for the textile, footwear, and packaging activities.Therefore, Waste2BioComp will have a significative impact on the reduction of the use of fossil-based materials, not only in the approached three value chains (textiles, packaging, and footwear), which are highly resource and polluting intensive sectors, but also with potential for several other sectors and applications.The project will run for 36 months, and it will be constituted by 13 partners from France, Ge

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Global Methane Politics'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The ambition of the Global Methane Politics project is to produce a pioneering body of research that simultaneously establishes the distinctiveness of methane politics, investigates and demonstrates the most significant political obstacles to methane emissions reduction, and has transformative impacts on global methane and climate policies and practices. Research on methane politics is urgently needed because 1) methane is the second largest contributor to anthropogenic climate change; 2) reducing methane emissions provides one of the most obvious routes to short-term climate mitigation, including limiting warming to near 1.5°C; 3) methane has become widely recognised as an important international policy concern since the launch of the Global Methane Pledge (GMP) in 2021; and yet 4), very little research has so far been conducted on methane policy, regulation or politics in practice - which is a critical shortcoming if the GMP target of a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030 is to be more seriously pursued.  METH-POL will be novel, impactful and timely. Guided principally by research in political ecology, it will test a series of original hypotheses about the specificity of methane politics, the political barriers to methane emissions reduction, and the implications thereof for research, policy and practice. It will produce the first dedicated body of cross-sectoral, cross-national, multi-scalar, trans-disciplinary and comparatively informed evidence on methane politics. It will involve research on 16 countries, on the global North and global South, on every continent, on the top five methane emitting countries, on the major methane emissions sectors, and on a wide range of methane governance initiatives, institutions and techniques. And it will also involve extensive kno

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'POCS based Depth Super Resolution' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of this proposal is to increase the range resolution of time-of-flight (ToF) cameras by utilizing correlation among multi-frame data through projection onto convex sets (POCS) technique. Our work aims to produce a super-resolution depth map and reduce the depth error. A calibration based technique is proposed to form constraint sets that will compensate for spatially varying depth errors within the work volume. Our proposed framework incorporates adaptive kernels along with novel constraint sets to form high resolution depth maps. ToF cameras have the capability of producing real-time depth maps, reaching nearly up to 100fps. They are also compact in the sense that no moving gimbals or extra parts such as mirros and scanners are required for data acquisition. One of the application areas in which ToF cameras are used is 3D scene modeling which has matured to great extent during last decade. In addition to that, high-end automobile industry, production lines, and biomedical inspection are some of the areas in which range sensing is applied. The purpose of our proposal is to provide a way for ToF cameras to realize their potential for range sensing by increasing their depth resolution.
