user: Describe how 'Layer-by-layer assembly of novel bone-mimetic hydroxyapatite-fibrous clay-biopolymer hybrid membranes' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Biomimetics is a fast growing multidisciplinary field leading to the fabrication of novel materials with remarkable mechanical properties. Natural bone is a complex biomineralized system with an intricate hierarchical structure. It was widely reported that a typical secondary bone contains around 65 wt.% mineral phase, 25 wt.% organic and 10 wt.% water, among which carbonated hydroxyapatite (HAp) and collagen fibrils are the major components for the mineral and organic phases, respectively. High stiffness and large surface area fibrous clays, halloysite and sepiolite, will be used for the first time to biomimic collagen fibrils as the templates for the growth of HAp nanocrystals. Natural biopolymers, such as anionic sodium alginate, and cationic amino acids (lysine and arginine) and chitosan will be used to interact with HAp-clay composites and improve their toughness. HAp nanocrystals will be grown along the fibrous clays via co-precipitation methods, followed by preparing HAp-clay-biopolymer hybrid membranes by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly. Processing conditions, materials composition and LBL assembly approaches will be varied to investigate their effects on structure and properties of the hybrid membranes. The chemical and crystalline structure of the HAp grown will be characterized, and its growth mechanisms in the presence of clay will be studied. Interfacial interactions among HAp, clay and biopolymer will be investigated, and the morphology of the hybrid membranes will be observed. Physical and mechanical properties, biodegradability, protein adsorbability as well as regeneration function of the membranes obtained will be measured. The resultant HAp-clay-biopolymer hybrid membranes are expected to have a good combination of stiffness and toughness through the bo

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Improving the Physics in Ice Sheet Models' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aim of this project is to generate new understanding of glacier and ice-sheet dynamics.  Specifically, it will improve theoretical models of the physical processes occurring at the base of the ice, and develop the means to integrate these into large-scale simulations used to forecast ice melting and sea level rise.  This will provide a vital step forward in the capabilities of these models to describe and predict the rapid changes that are observed.  It will be achieved by developing and solving detailed small-scale models, identifying the fundamental couplings to large-scale ice dynamics,and upscaling the results of the models to derive appropriate parameterizations for use on the larger scale.  The results will enable more reliable forecasts of future sea level and a deeper understanding of how ice sheets work.The project will bolster wider efforts at Oxford to understand the climate system and the impacts of climate change.  It will form a core focus and launch pad for further expansion of the mathematical geoscience group, developing inter-disciplinary exchange between mathematicians, physicists and climate scientists, within the UK and internationally.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Light-responsive reversible gels in water-based system 6' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content Because of new rigorous environmental requirements, there is a need for water-based rheology modifiers like amphiphilic (or associating) polymers. Such additives are thickeners or gelifiers for complex formulations (pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paint,...). A fine tune of the properties upon variation of external control parameters is now sought in the latter systems. Thermoresponsive or pH-responsive polymers already exist. Less attention has however been paid to light-responsive liquids. The purpose of this project is to synthesise and study sets of light-responsive macromolecules that can form reversible crosslinks by self-association or by association with proteins. This will be achieved by modification of poly(acrylic acic) precursors with hydrophobic pendant groups and with light-responsive groups. The rheology of water solutions of these polymers will be investigated to characterise their associating properties and sol/gel transitions. Upon irradiation (UV-visible), light-responsive groups undergo reversible conformation transitions at the molecular level what is expected to modify the associating power of the chains and the sol/gel transition. Higher sensitivity to the slight conformational changes ought to be obtained using proteins, that can bind specifically the light-responsive pendant groups. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) This project is for me the opportunity to learn and practice rheology of soft materials. I used to work previously with dilute polymer solutions; gels and semi-dilute media sound quite new to me. Furthermore, I expect to benefit of the contacts with members of European networks, the host institute belong to. Finally, I plan to apply for a permanent position in Spain (what require to h

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Stepping stones for the adaptation of human pathogenic fungi resulting from global change', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Most human pathogenic fungi have a dual life cycle involving saprotrophic growth in the environment, alternated by an invasive phase. The formation of propagules enable the fungus to leave the host is necessary and can be viewed as a hallmark of a pathogen . In contrast, opportunists do not have any means of transmission. The model organism Pseudallescheria boydii, a fungal opportunist, colonises man-made environments, such as polluted soil and ponds, industrial filters and sewage in high frequencies. This f ungus is one of the emerging, therapy-refractory agents of hospital infections. Opportunists are taking advantage of environmental conditions which are adverse for most other organisms, e.g., assimilation of toxic compounds, oligotrophism, or thermotoleran ce. When these conditions are provided in excess, e.g., in man-made habitats, up-scaled niches serve as stepping stones for adaptation, now in the direct vicinity of humans. As adaption and evolution towards increased virulence can take place in the host a s well as in the environment. P. boydii is prone to reach another level of virulence in the human host. This may be driven by changes in the environment or by the adaption to the human host. When the environment becomes more permissive, it allows for selec tion of the most vigorously reproducing genotypes and thus provides an enormous window of opportunity for the species which overrules the trade-offs for invasion. A new balance between environmental and invasive cycles is probable to lie on a higher level of virulence. In the proposed study we will evaluate computed models of the cost effectiveness of pathogen abilities in opportunistic fungi. Together with the description of population dynamics this will serve to establish tools for effective risk assessme nt

user: Draft an impact statement for 'PRedicting Individual fish response as a Measure of Environmental change', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Human activities and global changes are increasingly impacting the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. The ability of ecologists to determine how threatened populations may respond to these environmental changes is crucial for conservation management and the setting of the European environmental policy agenda. Given their position at the top of the food-web, apex predators are ideal candidates for researching their effects. Thus, the aim of the project is to predict the response of individual fish to measures of environmental change (habitat alterations and global change), using northern pike (Esox lucius) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) as model species of apex predator. The specific objectives are to collect literature derived, experimental and field data to parameterise an Individual Based Model (IBM); use the IBM to predict the present day distribution and growth rates of the species in the proposed study area; and test these predictions using existing and collected data from the study area. Finally the IBM will be used to predict the response of individual fish to various environmental change scenarios, with subsequent demonstration of the practical application to conservation management. To achieve these objectives, field and laboratory investigations will utilise literature review, experimental laboratory studies, and field data collection that includes environmental characteristics, fish movement (telemetry) and stable isotope analyses. To maximize the opportunity for successful completion, the Fellowship will be nested within, and will receive training and complementary skills from, the host institution, Bournemouth University, UK. Supervision will be undertaken by a highly experienced Scientist-in-Charge, with strong support from a steering committee comprising

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Advanced techniques for optical manipulation using novel 3D light field synthesis' (ATOM3D).

assistant: **Concept**

Optical manipulation of micro-scale objects, optical tweezers (OT), have proven themselves as a powerful interdisciplinary tool. They have enabled fundamental research in physics, biology, and engineering e.g. in colloid studies, measuring the mechanical p roperties and behaviour of single biological molecules (DNA, proteins). The aim of this NEST proposal is to take optical trapping into a new dimension for the 21st century with novel, exciting and adventurous ideas that will advance the optical toolkit" t o an unprecedented level. To realise the full impact of this technology some important, radical advances are necessary. The conventional OT technique offers little flexibility for tailoring the optical potential in 3-D space. We aim to develop a hierarchy of systems based on dynamic optical elements to achieve arbitrary 3D patterns for light traps and some of them will reach nanometre sized trapping volumes. This will open the way towards trapping and localising tiny biological samples like viruses and DNA directly which is not possible with the current techniques. Micro- and nano-scale manipulation of a plurality of arbitrarily shaped microstructures using multiple optical trapping-beams will bring exciting future applications across a range of science in m icrofluidics, advanced biology and colloid science. New forms of OT will give insights into Brownian dynamics, fractionation of colloidal and biological matter and even into molecular processes. A substantial amount of pioneering, high-risk, high-return wo rk has to be undertaken to truly bring this work to fruition. The consortium involves seven complementary groups covering relevant fields for the work proposed. They are ideally assembled to exploit this emergent technology in a number of key directions an d we

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Towards a nuclear clock with Thorium-229' (2014-2020) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Atomic clocks are the backbone of our modern communication and navigation technology, e.g. through the global positioning system (GPS). Improving these clocks will open up exciting new applications in geodesy, fleet tracking, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality and shed light on some of the most fundamental questions in research.Today’s best atomic clocks lose only 1 second in 30 billion years, making them the most precise measurement devices ever built. However, such clocks are extremely delicate and susceptible to external perturbations; they can only be operated in specialized laboratories.We propose to develop a novel type of clock, based on a unique nuclear transition in Thorium-229. This nuclear clock will be fundamentally different from existing atomic clocks, which are based on transitions in the electron shell. It will be largely inert to perturbations, simpler by design, and holds the potential to outperform existing atomic clocks in terms of precision.So far, progress towards an application of the Thorium nuclear transition has been hampered by the extreme technological challenges related to the scarcity of 229Th, insufficient detector resolution, and exotic lasers frequencies. Suitable technology is only becoming available just now. Furthermore, this research demands supreme expertise in a variety of fields, encompassing nuclear and atomic physics, quantum optics, metrology, as well as detector- and laser technology. Our interdisciplinary consortium is assembled to precisely match these requirements, joining for the first time Europe’s leading research groups in the respective fields.The work will focus on two objectives; (i) finding clear evidence of the transition and measuring its frequency, and (ii) developing all key components required for operation

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Ecological and environmental monitoring and simulation system for management decision support in urban areas' (ECOSIM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

ECOSIM will be a support system to investigate and forecast pollution levels in urban areas. By allowing the effects of industrial developments or new roads to be quickly and easily examined, public authorities will be able to ensure that environmental impact is fully considered in their urban plans. They will also be able to forecast shorter-term pollution levels - typically over the next 24 hours.ECOSIM will be based on sophisticated computer models such as those which calculate ozone levels from road traffic emissions. It combines these models with up-to-date measurements of current meteorological conditions and pollution by linking directly into local databases and pollution measurement stations. It also links the various factors such as surface water, coastal water and air to ensure that as complete a picture as possible can be predicted of environmental conditions.The system makes use of very high-performance computers whenever it needs to, and it uses the latest methods in handling maps and similar data to ensure that its results can be easily translated into practical measures for pollution control.ECOSIM will be developed and tested in close collaboration with three city authorities with differing environmental problems and current approaches to environmental management. It will assist the Berlin and Athens authorities to control ozone and air-borne pollutants. In the case of Athens it will also help the authorities to understand the environmental effects of its land-fill sites and any impact they may have on ground water quality. It will enable Gdansk, which has only limited pollution monitoring systems, to plan pollution control strategies for the future.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Exploring Life narratives of Violence Among Refugees from Africa’s Great Lakes Region (AGLR)' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

This project aims to map and examine to what extent, and under what conditions, the life narratives of the Africa Great Lakes Region (AGLR) refugees evolve, travel, and transform across time and space. It will explore how these narratives shape relationships among refugees and communities in countries of transition and destination. It examines how life narratives change as the  AGLR refugees encounter preconceived notions about themselves and their communities in host countries. The study will rely on innovative methodological approaches that will include multi-spatial and multi-temporal oral narratives developed via an African orature- and arts-inspired approach. Respondents will include refugees from AGLR, in both the Global North and Global South. The project will produce new theoretical and methodological knowledge combining Memory Studies and Migration Studies. This approach is designed to overcome limitations in global scholarship on the neglected narratives of millions of AGLR refugees who continue to move through the Global North and South due to insecurity in their home countries. Through both academic outputs and those aimed at a general audience, TMSS study's findings will challenge policymakers to think differently when designing programs geared towards refugees. Insights gained from studying these narratives will inspire new community visions and projects that shape relationships between refugees and their host societies in countries of transition and destination. Life narratives of refugees have been an object of scholarly and policy studies before, but existing literature fails to engage with the subjective experiences of refugees as they navigate global contexts.

user: Explain how 'Emotions as Practice in the early modern Jesuit missions in the Asia-Pacific' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project “Emotions as Practice in the early modern Jesuit missions in the Asia-Pacific” (EMOPractices) approaches the XVI-XVIII-century Asian enterprises of the Society of Jesus through the lens of emotions. Introducing the concept of the “emotional Other” (the emotional dimension of the construct of the Other), it reveals the previously disregarded role of Jesuit emotional practices and their impact on the creation of stereotypes of peoples of the Asia-Pacific region. EMOPractices thus analyses the emotional typologies used by the Jesuits to classify different Asian people; it identifies the emotional practices the missionaries used to bridge cultural divides and, at the same time, establish the domination of Asian people; and it exposes the mechanisms of the discursive creation of the emotional Other, as part of the changes in early modern European understanding of the world and humankind. In this way, EMOPractices addresses the less visible historical roots of racial and ethnic stereotyping connected to discrimination, working within the H2020 Societal Challenge “Europe in a changing world.” Supported by my experience with the early modern history of the Society of Jesus in Asia and in Europe, and with their manuscript, multi-language, ethnographical literature, EMOPractices operates at the junction of history and anthropology and addresses a gap in the historiography of early modern East-West contacts. Its expected outputs consist of two journal articles, a monograph, and a website. It will also support my career, towards a tenured position at a European university, as the MSCA training will increase both my research and my transferable skills, allowing me to engage with wider areas of research and making my profile more competitive. EMOPractices will also create
