user: Describe how 'Chemical Characterisation and Cycling of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the major carbon reservoirs on Earth. Changes in the magnitude of DOM could affect atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, dramatically impinging on the planets climate. The study of DOM has been largely confined to bulk parameters, while its molecular composition remains elusive. The proposed research will consider the molecular composition of DOM, aiming to elucidate its cycling in the ocean. The specific objectives will be to:a.) Investigate the role of the biological antibiotic processes that play key role in the production of DOM in the surface ocean,b) study the factors that control DOM degradation and the bio availability andc) examine the major mechanisms of DOM export from theeuphotic zone and determine the quantity of DOM exported to the deep ocean. The objectives will be achieved by applying a comprehensive set of advanced chemical characterisation and molecular biology techniques. The issues addressed in this study are linked with a number of EU policies under the thematic area 'Global Change and Ecosystem'. The project will involve diverse research training purposes, varying from the transfer of technical knowledge to the encouragement of initiative and co-operation with other scientists. The wide scope of the proposed work, its interdisciplinary character and innovative approach, will create ideal conditions for the consolidation and broadening of the researcher's career prospects in the field of marine science research. The proposed research aspires to provide a link between advanced chemical characterisation techniques, molecular biology applications and the study of global-scale DOM cycling, hence advancing our understanding of the cycling of this important carbon reservoir and promoting the scientific

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Reinforcement Learning for Quantum Statistical Physics' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

During the last two decades, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have created a true paradigm shift and impacted numerous fields and industries. In quantum physics, ML is rapidly gaining popularity and is already being extensively used for variational quantum state representation. Recently, a more ambitious and new research direction is developing where Reinforcement Learning agents could be used to solve quantum statistical problems while improving during the task. This field is still in its infancy and is highly promising to yield efficient and scalable computational tools for physics that would be situated between semi-analytical approximations and brute-force Monte Carlo calculations. In this proposal such tools will be developed for applications in modern quantum many-body physics at finite temperatures. In particular, the goal is to train smart AI agents to sample path integrals that occur in various quantum statistical problems. Important research questions include exploring domain generalization where learned knowledge by the agent can be transferred between tasks. The developed methodology will be applied to challenging systems in condensed matter physics such as many-fermion systems and polaronic systems with memory. Besides providing powerful computational tools, this research on the thrilling synthesis of Reinforcement Learning and quantum statistics will yield new insights and perspectives at the forefront of the current AI explosion in physics.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'European Network of Observatories and Research Infrastructures for Volcanology' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

EUROVOLC will construct an integrated and harmonized European volcanological community able to fully support, exploit and build-upon existing and emerging national and pan-European research infrastructures, including e-Infrastructures of the European Supersite volcanoes. The harmonization includes linking scientists and stakeholders and connecting still isolated volcanological infrastructures located at in situ volcano observatories (VO) and volcanological research institutions (VRIs).  EUROVOLC will overcome fragmentation at various levels, including community, project and discipline fragmentation by addressing four main themes:  Community building, volcano-atmosphere interaction, sub-surface processes and volcanic crisis preparedness and risk  management. Examples of networking activities under these themes include collaboration and networking between VOs, VRIs and civil protection agencies, networking of atmospheric gas and aerosol observations as well as observations of subsurface processes, and initiation of access to multidisciplinary observations from Krafla Volcano Laboratory as a test bed. Joint research activities include production of services to initialize volcanic ash transport and dispersal models during eruptions, integrated modelling of pre-eruption data, and a complete catalogue of European Volcanoes. Trans-national access to European Volcano observatories will be facilitated and virtual access to various modelling and assessment tools for responding to volcanic unrest and eruptions will be offered. Through these activities EUROVOLC will integrate the European volcanological community and open up and provide a wider, simplified, and more efficient access to key, multidisciplinary European research infrastructures located at leading VOs and VRIs to condu

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Nanostructured Oxide and Silicide Materials for Thermoelectric Device Applications' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The impacts of energy and financial crisis along with climate change have generated the necessity of cheap sustainable green energy. Against this background EU set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the share of renewables in final energy consumption and increase in energy efficiency for the next years. Upgrading the otherwise lost waste heat, which is estimated to be over 60% of the globally released energy, to electrical energy is a promising strategy for sustainable energy. The use of thermoelectric devices which convert directly the waste heat to electrical energy, is a desirable technology for future power generation. Despite the big effort of the last years their conversion  efficiency is quite low and the thermoelectric materials that are currently used are based on Tellurium, which is very rare on the earth surface. In this proposal we suggest the use thermoelectric materials based on Silicides and Oxides, which are abundant on the earth surface and relatively cheap. The aim is the optimization of synthesis and processing conditions using the state of the art panoscopic approach in combination, for first time, with tunable porosity which is expected to further enhance their efficiency. The fabricated nanostructured bulk thermoelectric materials will be characterized with several experimental techniques and studied through theoretical calculations. Technical improvement of some techniques will be performed for better characterization of the fabricated materials.  This proposal also involves applied research in the form of construction and characterization of a prototype thermoelectric device using the fabricated materials.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Biomolecular investigation on archaeological grape seeds: a genetic time capsule from the past'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The introduction of agriculture represented a major breakthrough for the development of human civilisation. The accumulation of excesses of food resources enabled for the growth of more complex socio-political entities, but it also required a continuous process of selection by controlled breeding. This process, tremendously successful at increasing food production, conversely led to a consistent decline in genetic diversity. Research into ancient biomolecules, however, allows the recovery and analysis of old genetic data, which can often be resolved in both time and space, adding a new dimension to the investigation of the dynamics of plant selection and of their ‘lost’ genetic diversity. Deposits of seeds, found in archaeological contexts, represent natural time-capsules, transporting genetic information from the past to be analysed in the present. This project will investigate seeds of the Vitis vinifera species: grapevine. From grape comes wine, which arguably represents one of the most important products of plant domestication during the development of human civilisation, at least in western Eurasia. It is intimately bound up with the expansion of agriculture, trade and commerce, and it also has great importance in socio-religious, cultural and political aspects of many societies, particularly in the Mediterranean area. Ancient DNA from grape seeds will be investigated exploiting the new ‘high-throughput’ DNA sequencing techniques and the recently acquired knowledge of the grape genome.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Paracrine signalling in alpha cells and the integration of mechanisms that control glucagon secretion' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Diabetes is a common disease affecting millions of patients world-vide. The disease is characterised by hyperglycaemia, caused by reduced insulin signalling and release. Recent findings suggest that the hormone glucagon also plays a critical role. Glucagon is a counteregulatory hormone released form alpha cells in pancreatic islets, to increase hepatic glucose production. Diabetic and obese patients suffer from hyperglucagonaemia, which leads to inappropriate hepatic glucose production. Glucagon secretion is regulated by intrinsic and paracrine mechanisms. The intrinsic regulation rely on the effect of glucose on metabolism and the paracrine on secretion of hormones from neighbouring beta and delta cells. Paracrine signalling form insulin and somatostatin inhibits glucagon secretion through activation of Protein kinase B and inhibition of protein kinase A leading to lower electrical and exocytotic activity. Both kinases regulate transcription and metabolism in other tissues. I suggest that paracrine signalling also affect alpha cell metabolism to regulate glucagon secretion. My recent work show that alpha cells rely on fatty acids for ATP production and that the mechanism by which glucose inhibits glucagon secretion requires glucose to lower fatty acid oxidation. In this project, I will 1) investigate whether insulin and somatostatin signalling regulate metabolism and ATP production in alpha cells, 2) identify the underlying kinase signalling, and 3) explore the role of hyperglucagonaemia in diabetes. To understand the effect of insulin and somatostatin on alpha cell function and glucagon secretion, I will use dynamic measurements of kinase signalling, ATP levels, membrane potential and calcium in mouse and human islets. Combining this with genetically modified animal m

user: Describe how 'Famine and death in Western Europe, 10001350: Origins and Internationalisation of the European subsistence and mortality crises' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In the proposed course of postdoctoral research at the LaMOP (Universite de Paris I), the applicant, Dr. Pere Benito, aims to investigate the international scope of the alimentary crises of the High Middle Ages (1000-1350) and their relation to mortality and to great pandemics.This project is a continuation of three years of work at the University of Barcelona aimed at establishing, on a regional scale, the chronology, duration and relative gravity of the periods of dearth that Catalonia experienced and of the mortality crises that usually followed them.The existence of international famines and mortality crises poses four great questions which this study strives to answer based on a thorough examination of direct sources, chronicles and documents, from several regions of Western Europe:- What were the geographic origins and the causes of the food shortages and famines? Which regions were first affected by disparities between grain supply and urban demand, and what led to these disparities? To what degree can climate explain the regional origin of these disparities?- How did these shortages spread and what factors favoured their growth: international trade in grain, interconnection of urban networks, war as a distorting factor in the circulation of surplus, political responses to the crises?- The origin and diffusion of the great pandemics. Did the diffusion and virulence of epidemics always have a cause-and-effect relationship with hunger, or were there epidemics that thrived independently of malnutrition?- The relations between dearths and mortality crises: In which cases was there a cause-and-effect relation between starvation and mortality? To what degree were mortality crises a mechanical consequence of malnutrition, and how did mortality affect the evolution and g

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Migrants' transnational networks: their role in migrant incorporation and euro-mediterranean dialogue on development'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This research project takes its cue from the often repeated call for further comparative studies on migrant transnationalism and on how it impacts migrants process of settlement as well as their role in development of their country of origin (see Portes et al., 1999; 2001 ).The research will examine the scope, durability and consequences of the transnational social, economic and political/civic networks of Mahgreb migrants (primarily from Morocco ) in Barcelona - a city which has a particularly high and fast growing immigrant population from Mahgreb, as well as a strong voice in co-operation with both local migrant associations and their countries of origin. This will be done through a qualitative in-depth case study of migrants ' transnational networks including interviews with organizational leaders, migrants selected to represent the various socio-economic groups within the migrant community , and relevant institutional actors in Barcelona, Spain, and the country of origin. The transnational research agenda offers an innovative and holistic understanding of the economic, social and political universe of migrants which has proved fruitful in understanding their role and participation in other western European societies (see OEstergaard-Nielsen, 2001 ).The research findings will be located in a comparative perspective with my previous (D.Phil.) research on Turks in Germany. The two case studies have different migration trajectories and different political institutional contexts. This makes for academic and policy-relevant inferences relevant to our understanding of the scope and impact of migrant transnationalism in general and in a European context in particular.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Integrated response of plant, microbial and N Cycling InTEractions to precipitation patterns' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Increased frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events are predicted in Europe, including severe droughts and intense precipitation events. Such changes will influence plant physiology, soil microbial activity and nutrient cycling, inducing changes in ecosystem functioning, with expected consequences on productivity, soil functions and carbon balance. Thus, an improved mechanistic comprehension of ecosystem responses to altered precipitation patterns is required to adequately assess responses to future climatic conditions, within a research framework that can address couplings between biogeochemical cycles by integrating all players associated in plant-soil microbial-nitrogen cycling interactions. The effects of contrasting precipitation patterns will be addressed in an integrated, multidisciplinary approach combining state-of-the-art molecular microbiology techniques with stable isotopes approaches and biogeochemical methods. The overall goal is to understand the temporal and spatial couplings between i) precipitation patterns, ii) the structure and activity of the soil microbial community and soil nitrogen fluxes, and iii) plant water and nitrogen uptake, and how these couplings affect the stability of ecosystems functions. The proposed work will i) investigate which active microbial groups are most involved in the response of the plant-microbial system to precipitation patterns, ii) carry out temporally resolved investigations of precipitation patterns impacts on the outcome of plant-microbial competition for nitrogen and the coupling between plant water uptake depth and soil microbial activity, iii) assess the coupling between the stability of soil microbial community and of major functions that it performs, in response to altered precipitation patterns, enabl
