user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Cameras as multi-functional sensors for automated processes' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Goal of the project is the development of a smart" camera for process control and fault detection in automation. The camera should take the role of several sensors and thus reduce the setup time for machines substantially. Two prototypes will be developed that are targeted at low-speed (40ms) as well as high-speed (1ms) applications. In most automatic assembly machines a large number of (sometimes expensive) sensors are used to check whether the machine is still operating correctly or to avoid collisions.A typical situation is that a sensor has to make sure that a gripper is retracted, before the handled object moves on to the next station. The setup of these sensors and programming of the right timing in a PLC (programmable logic controller) program is a very time consuming process. Within the project a camera system will be developed that will help the 135000 SMEs in the European mechanical engineering industry in building their machines."

user: Describe how 'DESIGN, MANUFACTURING AND RELIABILITY EVALUATION OF EMBEDDED SENSOR' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of this activity is to design and manufacture composite specimens integrating fibre optic sensors, evaluate the reliability of the sensors, develop a concept to evaluate the system reliability and define a design of experiments of sensorized structures. The purpose of this study is to facilitate the validation of real-time health monitoring systems, which can detect strain as well as the temperature of the structure at multiple locations through numerous embedded optical fibre sensors. Optical fibre sensors for damage detection will be embedded in the structure made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates. An integrated assessment of all critical manufacturing steps of fibre Bragg grating strain sensors will be performed in order to achieve high reliability of the embedding process in composite materials. The study will comprise the analysis of different types of optical fibres towards the optimization of embedding processes in composite materials. High resolution strain mapping by embedding series of closely spaced independent sensors in composite material samples will be assessed. Parameters that influence the infant failure of the structures will be analysed and the tests required to asses their effect will be defined. A preliminary test campaign based on thermal, mechanical and fatigue tests have already been defined.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'The role of local mRNA translation in synapse formation' (PRESYNAPTOGENESIS).

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the proposed research is to identify the signaling mechanisms that lead to presynaptogenesis, the mechanism by which a functional presynaptic terminal is formed. Postsynaptic mechanisms such as LTF (long-term facilitation) in invertebrate neurons, and LTP (long-term potentiation) and LTD (long-term depression) in mammalian neurons have been well characterized and shown to be dependent on local mRNA translation. However, presynaptic protein synthesis has not been object of intense studies in the past years. Recent studies show that axons can rapidly integrate and respond to local cues by regulating locally protein synthesis. Studies involving axonal protein synthesis in neurodevelopment have focused essentially on the role of local mRNA translation in growth cone collapse. However, recent data has shown that local translation is required for other neurodevelopmental mechanisms like neuronal survival and axonal pathfinding. Also, the observation that distal axons have a diverse mRNA composition leads us to ask if local mRNA translation may play an important role in other neurodevelopmental processes like presynaptic differentiation. In our preliminary studies we addressed this question. We have found that axonal application of FGF22 induces synapse formation in ciliary ganglia motor neurons in culture, as accessed by synapsin clustering. Protein synthesis inhibitors were able to block this effect indicating that local protein translation is required for synapse assembly. However, the mechanisms by which synaptogenic cues lead to the formation of a functional synapse remain unknown. Here we test the hypothesis that presynaptic differentiation occurs through local mRNA translation.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Bioremediation and economic renewal of industrially degraded land by biomass fuel crops' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives - To develop a technically practical and economically feasible technology for the bioremediation of heavy metal contaminated land using biomass fuel crops - To develop and test the environmental credentials of a closed loop system using biomass fuel crops to remove heavy metals from contaminated land, separation of the heavy metals into the smallest ash fraction during combustion for energy production allowing recovery and reuse of the metals and recycling of the wood ash as a fertiliser at the site of wood production. - To facilitate the breeding of biomass fuel crops specifically for the decontamination of heavy metal contaminated land through the characterisation of heavy metal uptake by a wide number of clones and the development of a rapid screening technique for inclusion in a breeding programme. - To modify and test the environmental assessment tools, LCA and EIA specifically for use for contaminated land and thereby provide a through assessment of the environmental consequences at local and global scale of the use of bioremediation technology. - To develop a computer based tool for use by local government planning officers, land developers, industry and regulatory agencies in the planning and execution of bioremediation of contaminated land. Project outline Land on the urban fringe can be contaminated with heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, arsenic and zinc as a result of industrial activity, posing a risk both to human health and the environment and restricting the use to which the land may be put. Remediation of contamination may be possible by chemical treatment but this is highly expensive and seldom undertaken for large areas suffering from low level contamination. Biomass fuel crops take up and tolerate, to a greater or lesser degree, heavy met

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Catalytic C–F Bond Functionalization for the Fixation of Environmentally Persistent Fluorocarbons'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of my project is to develop new methods to transform environmentally persistent hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), into reactive chemical building blocks that can be used in chemical manufacture. My team will achieve this by developing a series of new chemical reactions that transform inert carbon–fluorine bonds in HFCs or HFOs into reactive carbon–boron or carbon–aluminum bonds. My team will show that these reactive species can be used to construct carbon–carbon bonds. The idea is to develop a net series of reactions that results in the fixation of fluorine from low-value, volatile, and environmentally damaging organic molecules to high-value, non-volatile organic molecules. When successful, this approach should open up new routes that allow the chemical industry to repurpose HFCs and HFOs as chemical intermediates, and not end products, that complements European Union legislation. By the end of this project, my team will have pioneered methods for the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals from environmentally persistent fluorocarbons.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Subcellular localisation of metals in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus bovinus and its host plant Pinus sylvestris: a comparative study of metal tolerant and non-tolerant isolates' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Innovation**

Zinc and copper are essential nutrients required for many biological processes (e.g. cofactor in many proteins). Despite their importance, excess Zn and Cu are toxic. For this reason, organisms have evolved with mechanisms of metal homeostasis that tightly control the intracellular level of metals when extra-cellular concentrations change. Genetic adaptation towards higher Zn and Cu tolerance was found in ectomycorrhizal fungi of the genus Suillus, originating from highly metal contaminated areas. A better understanding of the sub-cellular compartmentalization of these metals in the fungal cells would give insight into the tolerance mechanism, since the intracellular localisation of the metals and the chemical form wherein they appear will determine the toxicity of the metal for the ectomycorrhizal fungus and eventually for its host plant. First, Zn and Cu will be localised with the commonly used techniques; electron microscopy in combination with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis.To characterize the species and spatial distribution of Zn-Cu within the fungus and plant, synchrotron based techniques will be used; including X-ray fluorescence and K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, all performed to micrometer-scale resolution. Since we have no experience with the latter techniques we will collaborate with Dr Sarret (LGIT, Universite J.Fourier, Grenoble). She has a lot of experience in the structural determination of metals by EXAFS spectroscopy in plants and fungi. Bulk EXAFS measurements will take place at the European Synchrotron Radiation facility in Grenoble, on the French beam line FAME.The subcellular localisation and speciation of Zn-Cu will be investigated at the micron scale by synchrotron-based x-ray microfluorescenc e and u

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Food Consumer Science in the Balkans: Frameworks, Protocols and Networks for  a better knowledge of food behaviours'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The general objective of the FOCUS-BALKANS project is to improve competencies and understanding in the field of consumer food science in the Western Balkan countries (WBC).  The scientific results of the research will make important contribution to the public health and consumer protection and to the achievement of the objectives within the FP7. The specific objectives are to: - Develop a network of universities, institutes, high schools, consumer organisations, NGOs and private enterprises active in the field of food consumer science with are able to develop joint-research activities; - Have a better understanding of food consumers in the WBCs, with a focus on products with positive nutritional properties (fruits and health / diet foods) and / or sustainability (organic and traditional food products). Formal training will be organised for key research organisations in the WBCs to enable them to become familiar with state of the art methodologies, practical techniques and theories. The training activities, organised in each WBC-country, target a wide range of organisations from the public and private research sectors, NGOs & consumer associations. 6 regional training meetings will be designed by the project partners and associated organisations.  Four studies on niche markets plus one quantitative survey will systematically be conducted by WBC organisations as a mechanism for learning-by-doing. Two open seminars will bring together a wider spectrum of stakeholders including food supply chains representatives and policy-makers. Altogether, these actors will be invited to participate in the “Food Consumer Science Balkan Network”, which will seek to stimulate regional and interdisciplinary co-operation.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'The Forest as Habitat in Transylvania of the 18th Century: Society, Economy and Environment in the Edge of the Hapsburg Empire' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The central point of the proposal is the analysis of the interdependencies between rural communities and the natural environment of the forest in the 18th century Transylvania, as well as the perils to which the environment was exposed as a consequence of this relationship. At the same time, one will study the modes of perception by which the people approached their environment, thus being exposed also the contemporary normative procedures of acting on the environment, with the possible result of a better understanding of the relativity of today’s concepts about nature and the environment. The domains by which the investigation begins will follow the anthropological constants that act at the structural level and often put in opposition the “utilization” of forest chiefly for economic purposes and the “conflict” generated by the fulfillment of these needs, as well as the moral, customary or juridical barriers that refers differently to the material resources of a community in general. The so-called anthropological constants that belong to the human nature and to the individual character can hide certain variables, favourable or unfavourable to the society, because they depend on the cultural system infused on various social levels, from micro- to macro social groups, everyone having different perceptions, which nevertheless sum up at the scale of the whole society. That’s why the present study will analyze how and to what extent the Enlightenment produced in Transylvania a mutation in the vision of the individual and the society about the environment. In the 18th century appears the concept of „durability of the forest”, which is important not only for the economic functions, but also for the ecologic and social ones. The study analyzes the policy of the Imperials from V

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Testing for the universal mind using probabilistic inference' (2021-2027) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Is the human mind an evolutionary one-off? Or does it reflect a ‘universal mind’ in which similar cognitive mechanisms repeatedly evolve via convergent evolution? Avian cognition offers a powerful model system for answering this fundamental question about the nature of our mind, because birds last shared a common ancestor with humans 312 million years ago and have evolved brains with a very different structure. However, to unlock the potential of this model system we need to robustly test whether mechanistic convergence has occurred between the minds of birds and humans (the convergent mind hypothesis) and rule out cognitive similarities between birds and humans due to shared ancestry (the ancestral mind hypothesis). UNI PROB takes advantage of decades of research on probabilistic inference, a central, but imperfect aspect of human cognition, to overcome these challenges. To test for mechanistic convergence, UNI PROB will use the cognitive biases and errors humans show in their probabilistic inferences (e.g. the conjunction fallacy, base rate neglect and the hot hand fallacy) as diagnostic signatures for the presence of a similar cognitive system in a species demonstrating the best performances on probabilistic inference tasks of any animal tested to date: the kea parrot. To test for shared ancestry, UNI PROB will present novel, non-verbal probabilistic inference problems not only to humans and kea, but also to a phylogenetic control for shared ancestry: rats. If convergent evolution has occurred, then only humans and kea will solve these problems while showing the same cognitive biases and errors. By testing for the convergent evolution of this cognitive system, UNI PROB can generate conclusive evidence that probabilistic biases are adaptive features of the human mind

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'International Network for the Training of Early stage Researchers on Advanced Quality control by Computed Tomography' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The non-destructive quality control of a wide variety of high-added value products, produced by innovative manufacturing techniques, remains a challenge. Examples include additive manufacturing parts, micro parts, and fibre reinforced composite parts. Common to these workpieces is the dependency of their performance on internal and inaccessible elements. Nevertheless, customers in multiple sectors are requesting certified quality and reliability.For the last few years industrial Computed Tomography (CT) has been regarded as a promising technology, which can evolve towards integrated quality control of complex workpieces combining dimensional metrology and material defect analysis. However, major challenges remain in order to exploit its full potential. Meeting these requires a broad range of expertise, including physics, dimensional metrology, non-destructive testing, material sciences, precision engineering, and manufacturing engineering. Due to the distinct interdisciplinary character, there is a strong need for young researchers with a broad range of competences to achieve the envisaged innovation breakthrough in the EU industry.The INTERAQCT project has been conceived as a pan-European industrial-academic initiative that will provide the unique and encompassing training environment required, by bringing together expertise from industry and academia in each of these domains (CT-equipment, CT-software, NDT, dimensional metrology, additive manufacturing, micro-manufacturing, composite manufacturing).The research will develop procedures for fast and accurate CT model acquisition, with special emphasis on multi-material parts. Furthermore, INTERAQCT targets quantification and improvement of the reliability of CT measurement results, by determining the probability of dete

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'uncovering the anatomical archive of annual RINGS to understand abiotic and biotic drivers of SHRUB growth at the range BORDER' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Climate change is observed and predicted to profoundly affect Arctic and Alpine ecosystems. These ecosystems, at theborder of woody plant growth, change at a faster rate than the global average. Growth responses of Arctic-Alpine shrubs toclimate change are variable and influenced by different factors. A key to understand the plasticity of responses to climatechange is a detailed analysis of growth at the intra-individual to the community level. Currently, we lack knowledge on theintra-individual, intraspecific, and interspecific variation in growth and wood anatomical traits across environmental gradients.BoRiS aims at uncovering the information archived in annual rings to gain fundamental new insight on how the responsesscale from individuals to communities. Insight into past dynamics opens a valuable window to the future and provides thebasis for predicting future range dynamics of Arctic-Alpine shrubs. BoRiS provides a retrospective quantification of growthand wood anatomical traits from Arctic-Alpine shrub species, assesses their variation across environmental conditions, teststheir significance as climatological proxies, disentangles the abiotic and biotic factors influencing growth, and models futureshrub dynamics at the landscape to regional scale. BoRiS is possible due to a unique data set of > 1000 individual shrubssampled in Arctic and Alpine areas and an innovative integration of state-of-the art quantitative wood anatomical analyses,classical dendrochronology, a newly proposed community-based dendroecology framework, range dynamic modelling andremote sensing observations. It is the first project to combine growth and wood anatomical responses of a large number ofArctic-Alpine shrubs and to upscale the results from individuals to communities. BoRiS is envisio
