user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Development of a pelletising machine to process multiple-source agricultural mixes' (AgroPellet) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

100 million tons of agricultural residues are sustainably available per year for the production of energy in the EU, corresponding to 3.2 % of the EU’s final energy consumption. One promising way to use this potential is to pelletise the residues for their combustion in CHP plants. This potential is not used, though, as most farmers produce a variety of different residues and none of the currently available pelletising machines is able to process them all simultaneously.Pusch GmbH & Co. KG has developed an innovative new technology which allows the processing of all kinds of agricultural residues as well as mixtures of residues occurring in the EU. A first technical prototype has demonstrated the proper functioning and huge potentials of the technology. However, improvements and adaptations are required to achieve the market breakthrough. In this proposed project a feasibility study will reveal the technical feasibility of the envisaged improvements and the optimal way of implementation, while a business plan will show the optimal way of commercialisation.The new pelletising machine will allow the European farmers to use the full energetic potential of their residues and therefore significantly increase their income while at the same time helping Europe to reach its goals of climate control. At current market prices for pellets an additional turnover of 14 billion € per year can potentially be generated at EU level and up to 137 million tons of CO2 can be saved compared to fossil fuels. At the same time Pusch GmbH & Co. KG will be able to significantly grow in terms of turnover, profit and employees and to establish itself on the European market for renewable energy technologies.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Uniaxal magnetic gels: Kinetics of formation of field sensitive and field responsive hybrid materials and their mechanical anisotropy'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed Marie Curie Fellowship is dedicated to the study of uniaxial magnetic gels, which are promising candidates for biomimetic materials, e.g. artificial muscles. Magnetic gels combine a polymeric network with embedded nanometer- or micrometer-sized magnetic particles.Macroscopically, this hybrid material integrates the properties of its building parts, resulting in an elastic and magnetic field-responsive 'intelligent' material. A number of studies (mainly on isotropic, rarely on uniaxial, magnetic gels) has proven the high potential of this new class of materials. The special emphasis of this project is on the ¿ as yet unstudied ¿ kinetics of the formation of uniaxial magnetic gels and on its anisotropic mechanical properties.A good insight in the formation process is essential for an efficient design and optimization of the material. The set of experimental techniques available in the host group offers unique possibilities for this study, combining various mechanical (piezo-rheology and ultrasound methods) and optical (light scattering and microscopy) techniques.Piezo-rheology is ideal for the study of fragile materials, like forming gels, as it allows for very small applied strains, a large frequency range, a small sample thickness and can be combined in situ with optical techniques and external fields. Comparison of the experimental results, for example with percolation theories, will lead to detailed models of the formation process and provide a basis for material optimization.With this fellowship in a worldwide leading laboratory the applicant will:i) acquire complementary skills;ii) strengthen existing and create new collaborations;iii) work in an environment which stimulates his creative potential;iv) intensify his interdisciplinary research work, and t

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement'.

assistant: **Concept**

The overall aim of this project is to develop an artificial cognitive system, embodied by a service robot, able to build a high-level understanding of the world it inhabits by storing and exploiting appropriate memories of its experiences. Experiences will be recorded internally at multiple levels: high-level descriptions in terms of goals, tasks and behaviours, connected to constituting subtasks, and finally to sensory and actuator skills at the lowest level. In this way, experiences provide a detailed account of how the robot has achieved past goals or how it has failed, and what sensory events have accompanied the activities.<br/>Robot competence is obtained by abstracting and generalising from experiences, extending task planning and execution beyond preconceived situations. Activities successfully carried out by the robot for specific objects at specific locations may be generalised to activity concepts applicable to a larger variety of objects at variable locations. Conceptualisations may also result in commonsense insights, e.g. about object behaviour on tilted surfaces.<br/>The project aims to produce the following key results:(i) \tRobots capable of storing experiences in their memory in terms of multi-level representations connecting actuator and sensory experiences with meaningful high-level structures,(ii)\tMethods for learning and generalising from experiences obtained from behaviour in realistically scaled real-world environments,(iii)\tRobots demonstrating superior robustness and effectiveness in new situations and unknown environments using experience-based planning and behaviour adaptation.<br/>To achieve these ambitious goals, a consortium has been formed of research groups with long-standing expertise in high-level cognitive models, planning, learning

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Mechanisms and Evolutionary Consequences of Wolbachia Dependent Oogenesis' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Symbiosis is an important factor in evolution as a source of evolutionary novelty and ecological diversity. Microbial symbionts in particular have had a large impact on the evolution of eukaryotic organisms. An intimate type of symbiosis is endosymbiosis, in which (typically) bacteria live within the host cells.Mitochondria and chloroplasts are examples of ancient endosymbioses that dramatically extended the range of eukaryotic life. Besides on these organelles of bacterial origin, many organisms depend on endosymbiotic bacteria for survival and reproduction. If both partners benefit from the symbiosis, evolution towards mutualism can be straightforward.The question is however, how two distinct organisms can become totally dependent on each other. Although this question is much debated, the lack of suitable model systems has made the evolution of dependence largely an unexplored area in biology. The association between the parasitoid wasp Asobara tabida and the endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria provides an excellent model system to study the evolution of dependence.Wolbachia bacteria totally depend on their hosts and maintain themselves in host populations by manipulating their hosts reproductive system. Here, symbiosis is also obligatory for the host. Without Wolbachia, European A. tabida cannot complete oogenesis. North-American strains, however, can complete oogenesis in the absence of Wolbachia.The aim of the proposed study is to investigate the mechanisms involved in dependence, as well as its evolutionary consequences for the host. We will use cytological observations and QTL mapping to determine the processes and host genetic factors involved in Wolbachia dependent oogenesis.The consequences of dependence for the life-history evolution of A. tabida will be determi

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Solutions for present and future emerging pollutants in land and water resources management' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

SOLUTIONS will deliver a conceptual framework for the evidence-based development of environmental and water policies. This will integrate innovative chemical and effect-based monitoring tools with a full set of exposure, effect and risk models and assessment options. Uniquely, SOLUTIONS taps (i) expertise of leading European scientists of major FP6/FP7 projects on chemicals in the water cycle, (ii) access to the infrastructure necessary to investigate the large basins of Danube and Rhine as well as relevant Mediterranean basins as case studies, and (iii) innovative approaches for stakeholder dialogue and support. In particular, International River Commissions, EC working groups and water works associations will be directly supported with consistent guidance for the early detection, identification, prioritization, and abatement of chemicals in the water cycle. A user-friendly tool providing access to a set of predictive models will support stakeholders to improve management decisions, benefiting from the wealth of data generated from monitoring and chemical registration. SOLUTIONS will give a specific focus on concepts and tools for the impact and risk assessment of complex mixtures of emerging pollutants, their metabolites and transformation products. Analytical and effect-based screening tools will be applied together with ecological assessment tools for the identification of toxicants and their impacts. Beyond state-of-the-art monitoring and management tools will be elaborated allowing risk identification for aquatic ecosystems and human health. The SOLUTIONS approach will provide transparent and evidence-based lists of River Basin Specific Pollutants for the case study basins and support the review of the list of WFD priority pollutants.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Software Defined Networks and Network Function Virtualization Testbed within FIRE+', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

SoftFIRE+ partners are aiming at Research and Innovation actions pursuing the integration of existing experimental facilities, testbeds and laboratories into FIRE+. The project focuses on new technologies like SDN and NFV in order to create a reliable, secure, interoperable and programmable experimental network infrastructure within the FIRE+ initiative. The Consortium will federate existing experimental testbeds in order to create an infrastructure that Third Parties can use to develop new services and applications. The federation is a step towards the creation of a new network experimental infrastructure that could be used as an initial 5G oriented platform.The SoftFIRE+ testbed will offer the possibility to assess and improve programmable solutions. In this environment there are three key elements to consider: programmability, interoperability and security. These properties have to be assessed in terms of efficiency, functional responsiveness and in general terms E2E QoS. The main objective of this project is to demonstrate and assess the level of maturity of adopted solutions and to show how they can support the full potential of these properties in a real world infrastructure by creating, nurturing and supporting an ecosystem of Third parties able to make use of the SoftFIRE+ testbed and to functionally extend it.The project aims at creating a broad ecosystem of companies engaged with the evolution of the SoftFIRE+ testbed. In order to achieve this goal, the project will spend a considerable part of its effort and budget for involving Third parties in the usage and consolidation of the platform. The mechanisms envisaged for this are: Open Calls and specific events (like Hackathon, Plug-tests and Challenges). The federated infrastructure will be used in order to a)

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Revealing the cell biology of a predatory bacterium in space and time' (PREDATOR).

assistant: **Concept**

The model predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus feeds upon other Gram-negative bacteria, including pathogenic strains. Upon entry inside the periplasmic space of the prey envelope, B. bacteriovorus initiates an exquisite developmental program in which it digests the host resources while ensuring the osmotic stability of its niche. In the periplasm, the predator cell grows as a polyploid filament, before releasing a variable, odd or even number of daughter cells upon a non-binary division event. The progeny is then liberated to hunt for new prey. B. bacteriovorus is now attracting a revived attention as several in vivo models of infection established its promising “living antibiotic” potential. Despite this remarkable lifestyle, the fields of bacterial cell biology and antibiotics research still lack a comprehensive understanding of how this micro-predator thrives inside the envelope of other bacteria. Indeed, the molecular factors behind the non-canonical cell biology of B. bacteriovorus are still largely mysterious. My goal is to tackle this question by unraveling the novel mechanisms that control key processes of the fascinating cell cycle of this bacterium, using a unique combination of quantitative live imaging of predation at the single-cell level, bacterial genetics and molecular biology. Specifically, I aim to (i) uncover how the genetic information is organized, copied and partitioned in a polyploid cell before non-binary division, (i) shed light on factors that polarize the predator cell, and (iii) discover prey envelope features that influence the predation cycle. Because the biology of B. bacteriovorus stands beyond textbook standards, our results will provide mechanistic insight into important biological questions that remained unexplored using “cla

user: Draft an impact statement for 'A non-smooth theory for sub-Lorentzian geometry', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The project SUBLOR aims to establish the foundations of sub-Lorentzian geometry, the non-holonomic analogue of Lorentzian geometry, within the new synthetic theory of Lorentzian length spaces and metric spacetimes. While recent developments have extended Lorentzian geometry to the non-smooth setting, spacetimes with non-holonomic constraints have been overlooked, despite their central role in modern geometry. Sub-Riemannian geometry has flourished into a thriving field of geometric analysis, whereas its Lorentzian counterpart has seen little development. SUBLOR will address this gap by:(1) Integrating sub-Lorentzian structures into the framework of Lorentzian length spaces and metric spacetimes. Sub-Lorentzian geometry will be defined in the general control-theoretic setting, its causal structure and topologies analysed, and Pontryagin's maximum principle applied to the study of geodesics, showing that sub-Lorentzian manifolds are Lorentzian length spaces.(2) Characterising the infinitesimal geometry of sub-Lorentzian manifolds. The timelike metric tangents will be shown to be quotients of sub-Lorentzian Carnot groups, and a Lorentzian version of the Ball-Box theorem (a ""Diamond-Box"" theorem) will be established.(3) Developing a theory of curvature for sub-Lorentzian geometry. The optimal-transport-based timelike curvature-dimension conditions and their variants will be investigated, and the more intrinsic Hamiltonian curvature will be introduced through Jacobian fields and expansions of the time-separation function.By building these three foundational layers, which also underpin the success of sub-Riemannian geometry, SUBLOR will systematise sub-Lorentzian geometry, highlight a novel class of spacetimes, and open the way for future applications in higher-dimensional

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Impact of Nanoplastics Pollution on aquatic and atmospheric Environments' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Plastics pollution is ubiquitous and plastic debris have been found almost everywhere from the Alps to Antarctica, and even in the atmosphere. The size of individual plastic particles spans several orders of magnitude, and many of them are in the micro- and nanometre range. Nanoplastics (NPs) can be produced through degradation of larger plastic pieces, or they can directly enter the environment by incorrect disposal. Little is known about NPs in the environment, and their occurrence in the oceans has only recently been demonstrated. Due to their small size and large surface-to-volume ratio, the interactions of NPs with naturally occurring chemical species can be significantly different compared to larger debris.NaPuE will assess the environmental impact of NPs by determining how NPs can interact with abiotic components (e.g. oxidants, light, etc.) in seawater and in the atmosphere, and how these interactions can disrupt natural processes including seawater photochemistry and air-sea exchanges.The first part of the project will use laboratory experiments to determine kinetic constants and degradation products for NPs reactions with both sunlight, and chemicals species in seawater and in the atmosphere. The second part will focus on developing a procedure to collect and analyse NPs in the environment, which is crucial to assess their occurrence. Several approaches will be tested to this purpose, from mass spectrometry to aerosol measurement techniques. Finally, the reactivity of NPs in the environment will be modelled to evaluate their potential impact on natural photochemical processes, sea-atmosphere exchanges and the carbon cycle.We will provide exceptional insights into the reactivity and transformation mechanisms of NPs in the environment.

user: Describe how 'Globalisation and civic activism : financial markets, soros philanthropy and social science training in eastern europe' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The project focuses on the role of philanthropy as a force of globalization. Previously based on industrial capital, philanthropy is now increasingly dependent on global financial markets. At the same time, it is often used for activist purposes, to ensure, by definition, certain forms of redistribution and to develop new forms of regulation. On the basis of a case-study of G. Soros's philanthropic activities, the project seeks to account for this paradox: how does financial capital generate regulatory functions ? The question necessarily entails a sociological level and an analytical level. At the sociological level, the project investigates what predisposes a speculator to support the Tobin Tax proposal, to advocate strong international economic institutions, and to develop philanthropic activities, notably in higher education. At the analytical level, the project tentatively seeks to characterize philanthropy as a flexible instrument of redistribution that financial capital has developed in order to sustain its own specific needs without the mediation of the Welfare State. This points at a possible shift from a collective-deliberative model to a private-ethical model of social solidarity as an alternative to the Welfare State. In order to specify these new forms of private redistribution, the project analyses the philanthropic funding of the social sciences and higher education in Eastern Europe and its role as a productive investment in cognitive and human resources.
