user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Workshop on real-time coastal observing systems for ecosystem dynamics and harmful algal blooms' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Development of a harmful algal bloom is a result of interactions between physiological characteristics of the species as well as the physical and chemical processes in its growth environment. Therefore, dynamics of the blooms cannot be studied without integration of different observation approaches, instrumentations and methodologies. Real time observations form the basis for adaptive sampling in fields studies. Data from various sensing systems need to be integrated into models. There is a great deal of interest throughout the world in the installation of coastal ocean observation systems with capabilities for detection and prediction of HABs. Many of the approaches are unfamiliar to potential users. Therefore, we propose to organise a workshop to make possible the dissemination of the most up-to-date knowledge on coastal observing systems to the community that is directly involved in HAB research, monitoring and management.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'A functional genomics study of lysyl-trna synthesis as a target for the diagnosis and treatment of microbial infections and mitochondrial myopathies.' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Genome sequence data present new avenues to investigate certain diseases. Such studies would be facilitated by the availability of model systems in which to test potential targets. This project is aimed at developing such systems for lysyl-tRNA synthesis, an essential pathway in protein biosynthesis. Several pathogens contain novel enzymes for lysyl-tRNA synthesis that are ideal diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Also, defects in lysyl-tRNA synthesis are responsible for some mitochondrial myopathies. Adder initial in vitro studies, genes encoding the appropriate enzymes will be used to establish Bacillus subtilis tester strains. This will provide a means to readily test predictions from in vitro studies. The final validation will be performed with the pathogens themselves and with human cell lines. The general principles of functional genomics which will be developed in this project can be readily extended to other essential pathways.1. Bacterial class I lysyl-tRNA synthetases (KRS1). Genes encoding KRS1 were cloned from 3 pathogenic Borrelia strains which cause Lyme disease. KRS1 from B. burgdorferi was overproduced and purified for biochemical assays and antibody production;2. Human mitochondrial lysyl-tRNA synthetase.The gene for this enzyme has been cloned by the end of the project. Human cytosolic enzyme, different only by a few amino acids at the N-terminus, has been overexpressed and used for biochemical studies;3. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase-specific diagnostic targets and model inhibitors. The KRS1 encoding gene was validated as a diagnostic target for Lyme disease; KRS2-specific inhibitors were identified biochemically;4. Defined in vitro system for mitochondrial Lys-tRNALys synthesis. Human mitochondrial tRNA (wild-type and variants) have been prepared by in vitro

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Neocortical long-range inhibition for learning and memory' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The ability to learn from experience and remember one’s past is one of the most fundamental and fascinating functions of the brain that is also a central element of individual and collective human identity. A mechanistic understanding of memory has implications reaching from treatment of memory disorders to artificial intelligence and efficient hard- and software design. While by now we have a tolerable understanding of how local circuits implement the plastic changes that underlie learning and memory, brain areas do not function in isolation. In fact, it is precisely the extreme degree of neuronal interconnectivity that makes brain research such a fascinating challenge. Therefore, the critical next step in learning and memory research is to dissect how long-range interactions between different brain areas contribute to, and interact with, local plasticity to enable functional circuit plasticity. Neocortical layer 1 (L1) receives diverse long-range excitatory inputs, many of which are known to be important for learning. However, my host lab has recently found that the zona incerta (ZI) – a subthalamic nucleus – sends long-range inhibitory (LRI) projections to L1 of the auditory cortex (ACx). Whether and how LRI contributes to memory encoding mechanisms in neocortical circuits is completely unknown. Here I outline a strategy to dissect how LRI projections from the ZI to L1 ACx contribute to learning and memory, using a combination of cutting-edge in vivo imaging and recording techniques in conjunction with associative fear conditioning, optogenetic manipulations, viral tracing, genetic markers and slice recordings in mice. This multidisciplinary investigation will reveal important insights into how long-range interactions between brain areas contribute to learning and me

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Rationalization of the manufacturing of the multiaxial layer fabric production'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Manufacturing composite materials with bi- and multiaxial layer fabrics is more efficient and often cheaper than the use of woven fabrics. The aims of the research project are the rationalisation of the multiaxial layer fabric production by the development of an electronic machine control for the reduction of set-up time and the development of a bidirectional production control system for the transfer of all fabric-, process- and machine data to the machine control and the capturing of the machine data, the improvement of the product quality by integrating a database with fabric specific management of the production relevant data, the machine settings and the running characteristics, transfer of job-oriented quality data between the textile semi-manufactures producer and the composite materials producer. The result of the project shall be the running of a pilot-system at a multiaxial layer fabrics producer.

user: Describe how 'Illicit labour: Unveiling the dark sides of the global photovoltaic industry' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

illicitLABOUR pioneers a study of the linkages between climate change mitigation and illicit economies and the resulting implications for ecological governance. This comparative and interdisciplinary project goes beyond the current state-of-the-art research in three significant ways. First, by investigating global photovoltaic industry production networks it reveals the dark sides of the green energy sector in three geographical sites (China, Ghana, and India). Second, it advances new theoretical perspectives on risk, vulnerability, and mitigation considering the interplay between the green energy sector and the illicit economy. Third, it attempts a transformative breakthrough by developing a cultural political ecology framework that brings cultural economy and political ecology together, pushing labour studies frontiers forward.The research will focus on several core questions: How do we explain the economic, political, and cultural processes linking illicit labour and ecological governance? Which illicit labour regimes in mining and manufacturing processes sustain solar panel production? How do informal energy markets work? What are the social and environmental challenges raised by end-of-life photovoltaic modules? How can we understand the illicit-ecology nexus in light of these processes? And, finally, how can this analysis reveal new ways to provide clean and affordable energy for all?Climate change mitigation and illicit labour are two major challenges of modern times, whose interconnection poses growing concerns for society, such as energy insecurity, toxic waste production, and labour exploitation. Yet this relationship has surprisingly received limited systemic attention in labour studies to date. Through an analysis of the global photovoltaic industry, a major

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Development of a low cost linear friction welding machine', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

- A design for the prototype machine has been developed which fulfils the specification requirements;- A range of prototype components which can be fabricated by linear friction welding has been defined;- A collaborative strategy for producing, marketing and selling low cost linear friction welding machines has been developed;- The prototype machine has been fully assembled and was demonstrated to the public on 25 and 31 October 2001.This proposal describes a project designed to drastically reduce the cost of linear friction welding equipment, in order to make the technology more accessible to European SMEs and other companies, and to put European SMEs in a strong position to supply what is firmly believed to be a large and sustainable market in Europe and the rest of the world. Linear friction welding is commercially, environmentally and technically a very attractive process, and is ideally suited to the both mass production of large part numbers, or to the manufacture of specialised components required in limited numbers. Although the process has been demonstrated for virtually all types of engineering alloys, the uptake of the process by industry has been impaired by the high capital cost of the equipment. Novel solutions have been devised to reduce the cost of the equipment, mainly based around more efficient use of the power sources required, by use of stored energy concepts. This should lead to a very substantial reduction in equipment cost.A feasibility study has established that the technical risks are manageable, and that the commercial opportunities could lead to very substantial sales worth an estimated 50Mecu within five years of market launch. The consortium consists of five SME companies from four countries, supported by one larger company, and two ROR org

user: Describe how 'Tissue-derived acellular micro-scaffold technology reducing or eliminating diabetics’ dependence on insulin therapy' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Betalin’s mission is to provide a tissue-derived acellular micro-scaffold that will extend the life and the insulin-producingperformance of transplanted beta cells in order to reduce or eliminate the dependence of some diabetics on insulin therapy.Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic disease that results from the autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in thepancreas. Its cause is still uncertain and there is no known way to prevent its onset. With~70,000 new cases diagnosedeach year, it is estimated that ~17 mn people worldwide are afflicted with T1DM. In the US alone, T1DM results in $14.4 bnin medical costs and lost income annually. Type 1 diabetics face a lifetime regime of insulin therapy and very careful lifestylemanagement in an attempt to mitigate the long-term complications associated with T1DM such as cardiovascular disease,damage to the eyes, kidneys and nerves, and premature death. In recent years islet transplantation has been researched asa treatment for T1DM. The procedure involves injecting millions of islets (the pancreatic cell clusters that “house” theinsulinproducingbeta cells) harvested from cadavers, followed by immunosuppression therapy. Islet transplantation is a promisingapproach but the naked islets are very unstable: they must be transplanted almost immediately after harvesting and up to80% of the transplanted islets stop functioning within 24hrs. The result is that, after five years, less than 10% of therecipients are free of daily insulin treatment. Betalin’s technology is based on the premise that in order for beta cells tofunction properly it is necessary to provide an appropriate stromal (connective tissue) micro-environment. The proprietaryplatform technology is a method to prepare acellular organ-derived micro-scaffolds that

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Socially Pertinent Robots in Gerontological Healthcare' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Social robots in an environment populated with humans is a technological horizon that is simultaneously so close and so far. Indeed, even if there are a number of companion robots in the market, the social skills of these robots are extremely limited and overcoming these limitations raises many scientific, technological, social and methodological challenges. We aim to develop the technology enabling robotic platforms to be involved in multi-party situated conversations. On one side, this requires perception capabilities that provide robustness against visual occlusions, speaker overlap, noise, interferences and clutter. On the other side, situated conversations requires the robot to take the appropriate actions, regarding the environment and the behavior of the people in it. We will validate the proposed technology in healthcare applicative scenarios, and in particular in a day hospital for elderly people. In this context, the goal of the robotic platform could be to reduce the patient’s stress and ease the waiting, to attend patients and accompany them to the next scheduled medical appointment, or to signal demands and anomalies to the medical personnel.
