user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Patterning the shoot meristem stem cell niche'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposal presented here combines a series of training objectives that are specifically suited for the candidate fellow with a cutting-edge scientific study. The study aims to investigate the mechanism of stem cell niche maintenance in plants. Stem cells are the source of cells for organ development and regeneration in multicellular eukaryotic organism. A key question is how different signals integrate to maintain the correct position and size of the stem cell population and to coordinate proper meristem function. In the shoot meristem, the stem cells are specified by WUSCHEL (WUS)-dependent signals from underlying organizing centre cells, and transcriptional control of the WUS gene is a key regulatory switch in temporal and spatial stem cell regulation. Therefore, understanding the transcriptional regulation of WUS will give us insight in the mechanisms of how the boundaries and the position of the stem cell niche are stably maintained within the proliferating cellular context of the shoot meristem. We propose to perform an innovative genetic screen and a yeast-one-hybrid screen to identify transcriptional regulators of WUS, and to characterize their function in the stem cell niche in detail. Results will provide insight into plant stem cell regulation but also contribute to our knowledge in broader stem cell biology and have potential applications in biotechnological modification of plant growth and development. By undertaking this study, the candidate will have the opportunity to move to a different EU member state, to complement his background in plant physiology and molecular biology with a thorough experience in plant development and genetics, to experience working in a leading research group and to make a major step in his personal development.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Multilevel Orders of Corruption in Central Asia' (MOCCA).

assistant: **Concept**

Corruption has become a buzzword in both academic and policy debates over the last three decades. The initial view that “corruption greases the wheels of economic growth” in the newly independent states of Africa and Asia has lost its validity in the light of the current ever-growing global coalition against corruption, spearheaded by Transparency International and the World Bank. Despite the unrelenting global anti-corruption efforts, one thing seems clear: There is no such thing as a remedy to this “cancer”. In the light of the obvious failure of global anti-corruption initiatives, there has been a growing call to rethink the existing approaches, arguing for the necessity to understand better what corruption is, why it occurs, and what we can do to stop it. MOCCA is a research and staff exchange programme intended to contribute to the global and national efforts of understanding and counteracting corruption by conducting research on the multilevel orders of corruption in five countries in post-Soviet Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). This will enable the MOCCA team to: 1) gather original empirical data (based on research solidly grounded in fieldwork) on the interplay between international law norms, national laws, and local legal cultures and informal norms in Central Asia and their implications for understanding corruption and its societal effects; 2) engage with and situate our research in relevant theoretical debates and thereby advance scholarly debates on (anti-) corruption by developing new conceptual, methodological and comparative approaches to study and understand it; and 3) provide strategic intelligence for EU-based political and economic actors interested or already working in the region, and to inform intern

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Quantum optics with optomechanical systems' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Interferometric measurements are by far the most sensitive displacement measurements , with sensitivities better than 10-20m/sqrt(Hz) either for large-scale gravitational-wave interferometers or table-top interferometers.In these measurements, there are two quantum limits one has to deal with, even after the classical noise has been substantially lowered: quantum phase noise and quantum radiation-pressure noise. The currently operated gravitational-wave interferometers are limited by quantum phase noise at high frequency and the second generation (Advanced Ligo and Advanced Virgo), scheduled for the middle of the decade, will also be limited by quantum-radiation pressure noise at low frequency. Though ubiquitous, such effects are so weak that they have not been experimentally demonstrated yet.The objectives of this project are the followings:-Design and operate an optomechanical resonator where quantum radiation-pressure noise prevails over thermal noise.-Use it in quantum optics experiments: squeezing and quantum non-demolition measurement.-On a longer term, inject squeezed light into a quantum radiation-pressure noise driven interferometer.""

user: Explain how 'Advanced modelling and control of nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater treatment plants' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The production and emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) significantly increase the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Currently, the development of technological solutions to decrease N2O emissions is impaired, due to the lack of a solid fundamental understanding of the rather complex N2O production pathways. Moreover, a reliable simulation tool capable of accurately predicting N2O emissions is not available to generate and test novel ideas and customized solutions for WWTPs to mitigate carbon footprint.This project aims to develop a unified N2O model capable of predicting the multiple N2O production pathways using statistically-analysed full-scale data from a database consolidated in this project. The unified N2O model will then be incorporated to issue a new plant-wide model of high fidelity, which will be implemented to optimize plant design for minimum carbon footprint. By applying advanced control technologies in the plant-wide model, a variety of carbon footprint mitigation strategies will be generated and tested for WWTPs of different process configurations under varied operating conditions. The model-based control strategies will be implemented at full scale to evaluate their applicability to directing the operation of real WWTPs.Equipped with strong expertise in modelling biological wastewater treatment processes and N2O production mechanisms, I will broaden my knowledge and skill base in model-based control and optimization of full-scale wastewater treatment processes by carrying out this project. By means of inter-sectoral secondments, I will be provided with valuable chances to receive trainings from Lund University in plant-wide modelling, benchmarking, control and automation, and Unisense in full-scale data collection, testing of model-ba

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Role of minerals in preservation of sedimentary ancient DNA' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Sedimentary ancient DNA (SedaDNA) is DNA associated with non-recent sediments. SedaDNA are found to persist in the environment for geologically relevant timescales and have gained significant popularity for palaeoecological reconstructions and unravelling past biodiversity. Free DNA molecules degrade within days to weeks in the environment due exposure to nucleases, UV radiation, temperature fluctuations and slow spontaneous hydrolysis. The adsorption of DNA to mineral surfaces in sediments appear to preserve DNA molecules, but we do still not understand how mineralogy and soil and sediment conditions affect DNA retention, preservation and recovery. With more quantitative knowledge of DNA-mineral interactions, we can better address the preservation potential in a deposit, unravel the source area of the extracted DNA and develop extraction protocols that provide a higher yield. It is known that the DNA-mineral affinity and adsorption strength vary across mineral and environmental conditions and a strong DNA-mineral association can be speculated to offer a greater preservation potential in contrast to a week DNA-mineral interaction where there would be available bonds for participation in the degradation process. It is also unclear how co-adsorbed biomolecules influence sedaDNA retention and preservation. The aim of MinDNA is to obtain insights into the mechanisms and processes affecting DNA stability on mineral surfaces. MinDNA will take a multidisciplinary approach to obtain quantitative bond parameters, adsorption and degradation measures at the bulk and molecular level as well as performing molecular and bulk level in situ experiments to understand the dynamics of the reactions. Further, the chemistry and nature of the interacting bonds will be quantified using novel

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Virtual multidisciplinary  EnviroNments USing  Cloud infrastructures' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Several research communities in Europe exploit e-Infrastructures, sharing data and computing resources with Grid and Supercomputing technology. However the inherent complexity of these technologies has limited their wider adoption and their long term sustainability: designing, developing and operating a computing infrastructure for an e-Science community remains challenging and costly.VENUS-C will develop and deploy an industrial-quality service-oriented platform based on virtualisation technologies to serve research and industrial user communities, leveraging previous experiences and competences of grids & supercomputing, while investigating new sustainable business models.For Europe to remain at an international competitive edge, it needs to continue investing aggressively in new computing technologies such as those proposed by VENUS-C. These could develop into an essential infrastructure of the information economy.VENUS-C will foster the development of Cloud Computing service offerings taking advantage of existing international opportunities and European industrial potential. Ten years ago, Europe successfully applied a similar approach with Grid computing, importing key technology from the US to quickly become a world-wide leader.By exploiting commercial solutions, but avoiding vendor lock-in with effective interoperability, VENUS-C will provide an easy way to deploy end-user services, dynamically extending e-infrastructures capabilities, addressing all aspects of a sustainable infrastructure.VENUS-C is a Europe-driven industry-led consortium with skilled partners and a strong, international advisory committee formed by worldwide experts in distributed computing and scientific applications.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Privatisation of Public Services and the Impact on Quality, Employment and Productivity'.

assistant: **Innovation**

PIQUE will address the issues of service quality, productivity and the quality of work and employment. The project is based on the assumption that the impact of liberalisation and privatisation of public services depends, first, on the form of liberalisation and privatisation and the mode of market regulation and, second, on the strategies companies pursue in their reaction to the opportunities and challenges involved. Company strategies and processes of change, in turn, are shaped by the institutional context of the national employment model.While the various forms of liberalisation and privatisation have attracted great scientific attention, business strategies, restructuring, work organisation and human resource policies so far have remained outside the focus of the research on liberalisation and privatisation. Yet, the impact on productivity, employment and the quality of public services depends on the answers companies find for new opportunities and challenges as well as on organisational restructuring, use of technology, labour relations and work design. PIQUE will study the form of regulation of liberalisation and privatisation in six countries and four sectors.It will explore changes in work, employment and labour relations as well as the productivity and quality of service provision. Special attention will be paid to the company level and the question of how liberalisation and privatisation impact on company management and organisation and on the provision of high-quality services at affordable prices. PIQUE project phases include: describing national modes of liberalisation and privatisation; assessing the impact on employment, labour relations and productivity through secondary analysis; understanding restructuring processes and the management of change throu

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Fracture Across Scales and Materials, Processes and Disciplines' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Fracture of materials is problematic across many disciplines and scales, from large building collapses and costly preventative engineering fixes to the personal injuries caused by bone fracture.  80–90% of all structural failures occur as a result of fatigue and thus fracture mechanisms.  Extensive testing of materials for fracture parameters before use in specific applications can be costly, wasteful and prohibitive when creating large structures. Computer models can be used to assess the probability and impact of fracture for a specific application and material, thus serving as a prediction tool. However, the models used are not accurate and reliable across multiple scales and across varying applications. Fracture across Scales and Materials, Processes and Disciplines (FRAMED) aims to develop a predictive modeling framework for fracture which will be applicable across multiple scales and materials, and across multiple disciplines and processes; the target audience for applications are designers in the engineering field.FRAMED will utilise the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (MSCA-RISE) scheme to create a multi-disciplinary consortium consisting of engineers, chemists, material scientists, physicists and applied mathematicians to create accurate and robust fracture models that can be used across a variety of scales, materials, processes and disciplines. We will enhance the research and development work to be undertaken, providing a solid foundation for long term international and inter-sectoral collaboration.   High quality research and development work will be carried out via international and intersectoral secondments, facilitating the creation of professional networks and knowledge transfer.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Palladium Catalysed Polycyclisations and Intramolecular Reactions Leading To Nitrogen Containing Heterocycles' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content:Nowadays catalysed reactions are preferred as they require only mild conditions and are atom economical. Therefore costs can be reduced and waist minimised. Hence it is necessary to investigate catalysed reactions, such as palladium-catalysed reactions. The objective of the research is the investigation of palladium-catalysed cascade reactions followed by intramolecular reactions. In these reactions oligo-heterocyclic molecules are formed starting with a straight molecule in a one-pot synthesis. The hetero-atom and also the side groups are varied. The effects of these alterations on the reaction and the reaction product (e.g. the sizes of the rings and stereo chemistry) are studied.Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact):During this project more knowledge out palladium-catalysed chemistry is obtained. Catalysed reactions are important as they require only mild conditions and are atom-economical. Also knowledge of reactions conducted in the department is obtained. This knowledge is important for a future career in organic chemistry. The investigated chemistry can be used in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals.Links with industry / industrial relevance (22)Industry can use all the information that is gathered to use Heck reactions for the synthesis of biological active natural products and pharmaceuticals. This will lead to the facile production of more complex compounds at lower costs.

user: Explain how 'Stochastic analysis of well head protection and risk assessment' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Problems to be solvedMajor problems that European drinking water companies and Environmental Agencies are facing are(a) the development of tools to reliably predict the pattern of the groundwater flow due to drinking well fields operating in heterogeneous formations and(b) the definition of a reliable strategy for the quantification of the risk associated to such predictions. Regulators now understand that once a portion of an aquifer has been severely contaminated its strategic importance is compromised and protection of such resources by the reliable prediction of flow field around pumping stations has a strategic impact at a European level. Traditional deterministic models inherently offer predictions of undetermined quality. The W-SAHaRA Consortium is motivated by the need to recognise the importance of spatial heterogeneities and related uncertainty, and incorporate these elements into a comprehensive action aimed to the development of general and robust criteria for an efficient and cost-effective planning and management of groundwater drinking well fields. Many of the techniques being developed within the scope of this project are (in principle) amenable to application to a wide range of problems involving the impact of groundwater pollutants on the environment. At the end of the project we will include a report assessing the implication of our results to the Water Framework Directive.Scientific objectives and approachObjectives include:(a) development of a methodology for the quantification of the concept of vulnerability of groundwater drinking wells, in a probabilistic framework;(b) application of this strategy to a specific situation and a selected site and simulation of the impact of the obtained solution in decision-making policies;(c) definition of the phi
