user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Development of an Advanced Rheological Tool for Polymer Melt Characterisation'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Today, all major chemical companies active in the commodity plastics markets (such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS)) are developing technologies to a) improve their manufacturing cost position, b) differentiate products for higher added value markets and c) reduce the product development cycle time. This is achieved by designing and producing materials with specific molecular structures and molecular weight distributions, for example with the relatively new metallocene technology. In the upcoming decade this development in polymer catalysis and synthesis will undoubtedly lead to tailormade materials that, in many cases, require tailor made processing conditions and even new processing equipment. The successful and timely (time to market) development of new, differentiated grades requires detailed knowledge of the rheological behavior of polymer melts at realistic processing conditions since mechanical and optical product properties such as yield strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus, optical anisotropy and dimensional stability, largely depend on processing history. For polymer melts this means that a thorough understanding of the viscoelastic constitutive behavior becomes increasingly important. The availability of reliable constitutive models, associated material parameters and robust numerical analysis tools would allow an early investigation of the performance of a new grade in industrial processes and thereby provide vital information to the molecular design process. However, no generally accepted way to extract the relevant rheological parameters from experiments has been worked out ,  nor is there a consensus on the most appropriate constitutive equations. A third reason that impedes a wider use of viscoelastic flow simulatio

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Applications of NMR spectroscopy to the study of the interactions of glyconanoparticles with other biomolecules as models of multivalent biological molecular recognition processes' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The project presented here aim for the development and application of NMR spectroscopy techniques for the characterization of biologically relevant molecular recognition events mediated by carbohydrates using glyconanoparticles (gold nanoparticles functionalised with synthetic oligosaccharides) as multivalent systems in carbohydrate-carbohydrate and carbohydrate-protein interactions. These glyconanoparticles (GNPs) have been shown to be very useful for the study of molecular recognition processes, yet their accessibility by NMR spectroscopy has remained elusive, due to their particular spectral properties. Here it is proposed the use of advanced NMR techniques (HR-MAS, DOSY) for their characterization as free particles in solution, and to apply classical and recently developed NMR experiments (HR-MAS STD NMR, Water-LOGSY, Diffusion NMR, trNOE) to investigate their interactions with other relevant biomolecules.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'A Thousand Years of Transformation: Building a genomic bridge between population and life history at the edge of medieval Europe.' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Population history is built on individual lifetimes. Life traits such as health, mobility and fertility determine demographic trajectories. Demography, in turn, drives environmental, cultural and biological change, altering future life histories. To unravel these complex feedback loops is to learn where our societies and genomes came from, and where we might go next. Central to these endeavours is the reconstruction of local demographic histories from the archaeological record, which can reveal long-term cycles of growth, decline and transformation. These reconstructions can be built from the top-down (charting macro trends in human activity) or bottom-up (characterising bioarchaeological traits). Ancient genomics promises to transform these dual approaches and further build a bridge between the two, but this requires highly focused regional sampling and methodological innovation. LIFETIMES will build this bridge for one of the world’s most highly-resolved archaeological records - that of medieval Ireland. Leveraging almost 5,000 ancient and modern genomes, it will map in unprecedented detail islandwide and subregional patterns of population size, gene flow and adaptation. These macro-histories will be set against the stories of three communities, whose burial grounds remained in use for almost a millennium. Through exhaustive sampling, extensive family trees will emerge, allowing us to view the longue durée of human history at the highest resolution - as a series of interconnected lifetimes. Changes in social organisation, lifespan and health will be interrogated at the level of the genome, methylome and microbiome. Combined with structured interdisciplinary collaboration, this will be the first such synthesis of its kind. It will not only address longstanding issues w

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Improving the quality and nutritional status of gari" through the use of starter cultures and fortification with soybean, palm oil and coconut milk"', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Gari is a traditional fermented cassava-based staple food produced by natural solid-state fermentation (SSF) and it is the main energy source for many people in West Africa. However, cassava contains very low levels of protein. The objective of this project is to improve the nutritional quality of gari by fortification with soybeans and palm oil (in West Africa) and coconut milk (in East Africa), using a specially formulated starter culture. The technology developed will be disseminated through women' s production networks, which will be assisted with business development support. An increase in the consumption of gari and an improvement in the incomes of cassava growers and gari producers will result from the project.

assistant: **Objectives**

The main objective of the INNOPROCITI proposal is the set up of a business plan for the development and selling of:a) Products: Enzyme formulations for biosensing and decontamination/detoxification of nerve agents on surfaces, air, water and skin and their validation against already available and used technologies (if any).The innovative aspect rely upon the use of thermostable enzymes customized by in vitro molecular evolution to the actual needs.b) Solutions: An integrated platform of decontamination and biosensing systems with procedures of fast assistance in , by taking into account the study of the “human factor” (control of panic reactions, appropriateness of information tools, clear and tested procedures of mass evacuation) in response to detection alarms and start up of decontamination actions.The appropriate diffusion of information to the stakeholders (authorities, companies, organizations working in the civilian security field) will be another activity foreseen for the short project. The field of the commercial development is one of the most increasing in the next years in the big market of the homeland security. The recent events in Syria and France as well as the concerns about ISIS successes in the Middle East and the weaknesses in guaranteeing the security of borders (particularly the Mediterranean sea) ask for the availability for security measures that are at same time safe for human and the environment. Our enzymes can be the basis for advanced biosensors that can also identify the substance as well as the basis for mask filters and filters for air detoxification in sensitive buildings. Furthermore formulations of efficient enzymes can be used for detoxification of contaminated area or for destroying stocks of nerve gases or obsolete pesticides that by

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Search for mechanisms to control massless electrons in graphene' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Conduction electrons in the carbon monolayer known as graphene have zero effective mass. This property offers unique opportunities for fast electronics, if we can somehow learn to control the dynamics of particles which have a charge but no mass. Fresh ideas are needed for this purpose, since an electric field is incapable of stopping a massless electron (its velocity being energy independent).The applicant and his group at the Lorentz Institute for Theoretical Physics in Leiden University have started exploring the new physics of graphene soon after the announcement two years ago of the discovery of massless electrons in this material. We have identified several promising control mechanisms, and are now ready to embark on a systematic search. Our objective is to discover ways to manipulate in a controlled manner three independent electronic degrees of freedom: charge, spin, and valley.The charge is the primary carrier of classical information, being strongly coupled to the environment, while the spin is the primary carrier of quantum information, in view of its weak coupling to the environment. The valley degree of freedom (which defines the chirality of the massless particles) is intermediate between charge and spin with regard to the coupling to the environment, and provides some unique opportunities for control. In particular, we have the idea that by acting on the valley rather than on the charge it would be possible to fully block the electronic current (something which an electric field by itself is incapable of). To study these effects we will need to develop new methodologies, since the established methods to model quantum transport in nanostructures are unsuitable for massless carriers.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'From the accretion disk to the cluster halo: the multi-scale physics of black hole feedback'.

assistant: **Innovation**

It is firmly established that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have a profound influence on the evolution of galaxies and galaxy groups/clusters. Yet, almost 20 years after this realization, fundamental questions remain. What determines the efficiency with which an active galactic nucleus (AGN) couples to its surroundings? Why does AGN feedback appear to be ineffective in low-mass galaxies? In maintenance-mode feedback, how does the AGN regulate to closely balance cooling? How does the nature of AGN feedback change as we consider higher redshifts and push back to the epoch of the first galaxies?  AGN feedback is a truly multi-scale phenomenon. Observations show that AGN have an energetic impact on galactic-, group-, and cluster-halo scales. Yet the efficiency with which an accreting SMBH releases energy, and the partitioning of that energy into radiation, winds, and relativistic jets, is dictated by complex processes in the accretion disk on AU scales, 10^10 times smaller than the halo.  Furthermore, especially in massive systems where feedback proceeds via the heating of a hot circumgalactic or intracluster medium (CGM/ICM), the relevant microphysics of the hot baryons is unclear, requiring an understanding of plasma instabilities on 10^-9pc scales.      We propose a set of projects that explore the multiscale physics of AGN feedback. Magnetohydrodynamic models of accretion disks will be constructed to study the AGN radiation/winds/jets and calibrate observable proxies of SMBH mass and accretion rate. We will use the machinery of plasma physics to characterize the CGM/ICM microphysics relevant to the thermalization of AGN-injected energy.  Finally, we will produce new galaxy-, group- and cluster-scale models incorporating the new microphysical prescriptions and AGN mod

user: Explain how 'Moldovan Horizon Europe Office - Empowering Research, Expanding Horizons' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project proposal addresses the critical need to enhance Moldova's integration into the European Research Area and maximize participation in Horizon Europe. As an Associated Country, Moldova faces significant structural challenges in its R&I ecosystem despite its promising foundations and EU association status.This project will systematically strengthen the operational capacity and professional expertise of Moldova's Horizon Europe Office and NCPs network through five specific objectives: (1) enhancing institutional capacity and operational efficiency; (2) improving proposal development skills and success rates; (3) fostering strategic international research partnerships; (4) increasing awareness of Horizon Europe opportunities; and (5) establishing robust monitoring and sustainability mechanisms.The methodology employs a strategic framework emphasizing quality-driven implementation, digital-first approaches, decentralization of services, complementarity with existing initiatives, localization of support, and institutionalization of best practices. Implementation follows a structured progression through interconnected work packages focusing on a Business Process Management System development, human resources capacity building, support services delivery, communication and dissemination, and effective project management.Expected outcomes directly address the call requirements: a strengthened and professionalized NCP system providing consistent, high-quality support services; harmonized practices aligned with EU standards; enhanced capacity of researchers; and increased participation rates. Long-term impacts include advanced ERA integration, reduced R&I divides and support for Moldova's broader European integration aspirations.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Transboundary territorial cooperation, policy learning and the Europeanisation of urban and spatial planning policies in the Mediterranean area' (EUP-MED), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The aim of the research is to investigate whether, and how, policy learning in cities and regions occurs as a result of participation in European transboundary cooperation projects; and whether this leads to a form of ‘Europeanisation’ of territorial, spatial and urban planning policies in the Southern European context. ‘Transboundary cooperation’ refers to various forms of cooperation across national borders between cities, regions and other organisations which cooperate at various geographical scales to pursue policy objectives. The project will first develop a theoretical and conceptual framework for the analysis of the social and policy learning processes which take place between sub-central governmental actors in the framework of European territorial cooperation networks and programmes, on the basis of sociological approaches to ‘cognitive’ Europeanisation and to organisational learning. The framework will then be applied to two case-studies to answer the following questions: What are the factors which facilitate or impede processes of social and policy learning in transboundary cooperation projects? Does such cooperation lead to identifiable policy changes in the organisations involved? Is there evidence of a ‘Europeanisation of spatial planning and urban policies’ in Southern Europe through European territorial cooperation? Through a survey of, and interviews with, project partners, learning processes will be investigated ‘horizontally’ across a large set of transnational cooperation projects funded in the framework of the two INTERREG IIIB (now IVB) programmes ‘South-West Europe’ and ‘Mediterranean’. In a second stage, learning processes and policy change will then be investigated within targeted local and regional public institutions in a specific Mediterranean

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Evolutionary origin of biodiversity hotspots with a Mediterranean climate (HOTMED)' (HOTMED), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Understanding the origin of species richness in Earth¿s biodiversity hotspots is vital to develop effective conservation strategies. Information from past biodiversity (i.e. fossil evidence) sheds light on how it has responded to climate change in the past and is essential to predict how modern biodiversity might evolve in the future. HOTMED will create a multidisciplinary network of partners with complementary backgrounds to study and compare the origins of biodiversity in Southwest Australia, the Cape Flo ristic Region, and Central Chile. This will be achieved by appropriate integration of fossil evidence into molecular dating analyses and tests of biogeographic hypotheses using a particularly well-suited plant group (Proteaceae) as a model. HOTMED will als o involve analyses and comparisons of biodiversification rates and phylogenetic and environmental diversity indices in the three Mediterranean hotspots under focus.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Lignin integration in bituminous road applications'.

assistant: **Innovation**

LIBRA aims to develop a comprehensive analytical framework to evaluate lignin as a sustainable alternative to bitumen in asphalt pavements. Asphalt, a mixture of mineral aggregates and bitumen, is the most commonly used material in road construction but faces economic and ecological challenges due to its reliance on crude oil. To address this, renewable biomaterials like lignin are being explored. As one of the main components of trees, lignin is highly abundant and produced industrially as a by-product of the paper and pulp industry. Due to the large quantities available, its underutilisation, and chemical similarities to bitumen, it has great potential as an alternative binding material in road applications. However, the chemistry of lignin is very heterogeneous and depends on the biomass source and the processing method, which affects compatibility and durability of asphalt mixtures. To optimise the use of diverse lignin feedstocks, LIBRA will investigate how these chemical variations influence the performance of lignin-modified binders (LMB). In addition, the project will assess the recyclability and the emission of volatile and water-soluble pollutants to determine the direct environmental impact of LMBs. Combining expertise from pavement engineering, biomaterials chemistry, environmental sciences and analytical chemistry, LIBRA will correlate mechanical and chemical properties, examine fundamental (molecular) processes and predict performance and applicability of the LMBs. Techniques such as dynamic shear rheometry, dynamic mechanical analysis, multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry will be employed. The resulting framework will facilitate a sustainable transition to lignin-based asphalt, contributing to mor
