user: Draft an impact statement for 'Controlling mediterranean fruit fly and improving citrus fruit quality by postharvest heat treatments', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The production of fruits and vegetables has reached a very high level in the EC and is an important source of income for many European farmers, transporting companies and traders. In fact, in many areas there is a surplus of production and export markets are being explored. The far-east markets (Japan, P.R. of China, S.Korea, Taiwan, etc.) are fast developing, and can become a major outle for the export of fresh citrus fruit from the Mediterranean region. A major obstacle, however, are the strict quarantine regulations imposed by those countries, to prevent the introduction of exotic pests such as the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratifis capitata Wiedemann. Currently the most widely used postharvest treatment for citrus involves the exposure of the fruit to near-freezing temperatures for a period of 10 to 16 days. Unfortunately, many citrus cultivars cannot tolerate the cold treatment and develop chilling injury. Thus, alternative treatments are urgently needed to expand the selection of citrus varieties for export. The objectives of the project are: 1) to develop alternative abiotic quarantine treatments instead of cold quarant 2) to determined the fruit fly response including thermotolerance development, the response of hsp70 in the insect and its use as a marker to determine treatment efficacy, and probit 9 for successful treatments. 3) To determine how treatments successful in controlling fruit fly, affect fungal pathogens. 4) to determine biochemical responses of the fruit including induction or maintenance of defense responses against insects and fungi. 5) to isolate stress genes and characterize them 6) to determine the effect of the treatments on fruit quality and organoleptic properties, and to test the successful treatments under semi-commercial conditions.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Nitrogen Control by Landscape structure in Agricultural Environments' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

AIM To evaluate the natural performance of riparian zones to sustainably buffer water-borne fluxes of diffuse nitrogen pollution from agriculture to aquatic environments and devise a riparian ecosystem management model (REMM) to predict the nitrogen fluxes through these systems applicable to a range of farming and climatic conditions. OBJECTIVES 1. Measure the nitrogen retention and transformation processes of morphologically similar riparian structures within representative agricultural drainage basins along a climatic gradient to refine the REMM. 2. Predict the rates of change of processes involved in the nitrogen buffering capacity under enviromental changes using the REMM (riparian ecosystem management model) 3. Evaluate the consequences of different landscape change scenarios on the buffering capacities of riparian zones using REMM. 4. Compare the merit of riparian zones with other potential nitrogen buffers in the different study areas. PROPOSAL CONTENT The project will examine the nitrogen budjet of wooded and meadow grass riparian zones within each country representing by the partners and will quantify their buffering capacity. Since farming regimes constitute the key driving force in undermining or enhancing both spatial distribution and connectivity of riparian zones within agricultural landscapes, hence, the project will assess the interaction between farming systems and riparian function. Scenarios of the consequences of environmental changes on riparian buffering capacities regarding N fluxes will then be developed using the REMM model. Riparian buffering capacities will be compared to other potential buffer structures in the different regions considered. The partnership therefore consists of five core members, all with specialists experience in riparian la

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Re-engineering of natural stone production chain through knowledge based processes, eco-innovation and new organisational paradigms' (I-STONE), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The need for an IP (I-STONE) to address the current problems and the future requirements of the European Stone Sector originates from the ever increasing need of the EU Construction industry for more and higher quality stone products and the fact that despite its economic importance, the Stone Sector has not made any significant technological progress the last decades. The primary aim of I-STONE is the re-engineering of the stone production chain, in order to considerably increase its efficiency and productivity, minimise the amount of stone wastes disposed in the environment, produce a new generation of multifunctional products based on stone wastes and safeguard the quality in stone application and use. The ultimate target of the project is to transform the rather traditional Stone Sector into a modern, competitive and knowledge-based industry and ensure a lasting technological superiority of EU over its competitors.These objectives will be achieved with the incorporation of nanotechnology and intelligent manufacturing in stone processing and through the creation of new applicable knowledge and radical innovations in advanced materials and multifunctional products. The main radically new knowledge to be developed includes: the development of a new generation of consolidating agents with chemical characteristics similar to that of the stone, which will efficiently consolidate the stone products and prevent them from breaking during their processing; innovative extra thin cutting disks, a new generation of Ultra Fine Dispersed Diamonds and new heavy metal free metal-diamond bonds resistant to high temperatures and mechanical stresses that will lead to the development of innovative high-speed drilling and cutting tools to maximise productivity and new multifunctional pro

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Systems approach of URban enviRonmEnts and heALth'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Worldwide, the health status of people is increasingly put under pressure by demographic growth, primary energy uses, mobility and urbanization. Every year in EU countries on average more than 1.2 million people die prematurely. However, large disparities in life expectancy in terms of socio-economic status, gender, age and ethnicity exist. Especially, cities are creating the conditions for health problems, such as sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets, air and other pollutions and stress. On the other hand, cities also offer opportunities for structural and long-lasting healthy transformations in lifestyles and health status. However, the big question is how to achieve these transformations in a situation where complexity of urban health problems is increasing, involving many actors. Increasingly, it is recognized that disciplinary and sectoral approaches no longer suffice but that an integrated, holistic approach toward the physical, social and institutional factors that shape urban health and health inequalities is necessary. In such a systems approach in research and policies on urban health, health is no longer emerging from isolated causal effects only but in addition from the (non)linear positive and negative feedback loops between the various features of a system over time. Based on a systems approach and new alliances across academic disciplines (epidemiology, public health, movement science, psychology, geography, sociology) and sectors (citizens, entrepreneurs, medical centers, public authorities, NGOs) SURREAL offers a unique, creative and single training network for 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to co-create joint understandings of the complex urban health system and to co-design and implement effective interventions in the system.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'KnowLEdGE creation and iNcreasing acreage of legumes in Diversified cropping systems by quAntification of theiR ecosYstem services.' (LEGENDARY) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of LEGENDARY is to remove the barriers that hamper a significant and stable increase of the growing area of legumes in Europe. LEGENDARY has the ambition to develop tools and methods going considerably beyond the state-of-the-art to quantify Ecosystem Services (ESs) of perennial and of annual legumes in different agro-climatic zones. Based on co-creation, LEGENDARY aligns its research strategy with the actual needs. Field experiments will be monitored by a combination of traditional observation methods and advanced sensing technologies whose sensor reads are translated to ES trait values by means of dedicated statistical and machine learning models. These data will be fortified with results from past/ongoing projects. Valuation of the provisioning ESs will mainly be based on historical data, as the focus is to develop tools/methods for the valuation of the regulating services as well as for the valuation of cultural/social services including recreation, education and aesthetic values. These tools/methods will provide ready-to-use indicators to better equip farmers/advisors to evaluate and appreciate the benefits of legumes, including enhanced fertilising regimes, management of noxious organisms as well as recommendations to strengthen crop diversification and longer rotation cycles with crops beneficial for the environment, the farmer and the consumer. A user-friendly Collaborative Multicriteria Decision Support System will be developed, to assist farmers in the choice of legume species and cropping systems suitable for their farm. LEGENDARY’s results will contribute to develop guidelines for science-policies bodies. Consequently, the results and implementation actions provided will ultimately contribute to achieve five of the 17 UN’s Sustainable Developme

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the stability of soil organic matter in a changing Arctic' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The Arctic is currently facing large changes in climatic conditions, with expected consequences for the vulnerable terrestrial ecosystems. Arctic ecosystems contain a large proportion of the global soil carbon stock, and there is a risk that environmental changes will lead to a release of carbon dioxide from this pool substantially amplifying the atmospheric warming potential. However, populations of plants and microorganisms will likely change with changed environmental conditions. An increased abundance of plants associating with ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi has already been observed across the arctic tundra biome as a response to recent warming, and this trend is expected to continue. Recent research suggests that EM mycelia contribute disproportionately relative to plant inputs to soil organic matter formation. Hence, increased abundance of EM plants and fungi could partly counterbalance the expected respiratory loss of carbon from tundra soils in the future. However, EM fungi also contribute to the degradation of organic matter by producing extracellular enzymes thereby decreasing carbon storage. It is crucial to sort out which of these mechanisms dominate in different ecosystems and under different environmental conditions in order to build reliable conceptual and predictive models describing the future carbon balance of the Arctic.  This project is the first to explore the role of EM fungi as drivers of soil carbon dynamics in the Arctic in relation to global change. The project explores responses of EM fungi at three interlinked levels, that is, their abundance, species composition and functioning, to long-term field experiments simulating climate change in the sub- and high arctic. The project combines methods to measure ecological pools and processes (soil C and

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'A conserved mechanism regulating shoot and root lateral organ placement' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Plant architecture is largely determined by branching patterns in the shoot and root systems. Shoots of seed plants, such as the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, branch via lateral bud outgrowth, where branches are patterned along the stem at the base of a leaf. Roots branch laterally from an internal cell layer surrounded by differentiated tissues, at a distance from the root tip. Despite the differences in ontogeny and the divergent evolutionary origin of root and shoot lateral branches, both processes are controlled by the three redundantly-acting AP2-domain containing transcription factors PLETHORA3, 5 and 7 (PLT3,5,7). These proteins control phyllotaxis, the pattern of lateral organs in the shoot, and rhizotaxis, the spacing of lateral roots. Although the phytohormone auxin is known to be intimately involved in both phyllotaxis and rhizotaxis, the PLT3,5,7 module represents the first genetic element to be implicated in control of both processes. Thus, the goal of this proposal is to illuminate the genetic network surrounding PLT3,5,7 gene activity in both the shoot and root contexts. Early results suggest that auxin lies both upstream and downstream of PLT action, pointing to a positive feedback loop which could be at the heart of a pattern generating system. To investigate this network further, genes surrounding PLT action will be identified using genetic, bioinformatic and biochemical strategies. Physical and genetic interactions will place these genes in a genetic hierarchy. Dynamic expression of these genes in living shoots and roots will be monitored using real-time confocal microscopy, and changes in the network dynamics will be observed in plt mutants and in auxin manipulation experiments. The results from this project will illuminate the similarities and d

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Electrophysiological and behavioural studies of phonological short-term memory in children with autism: A comparison with Specific Language Impairment'.

assistant: **Objectives**

There are two developmental disorders in which communication skills are a major area of difficulty: autistic disorder, and specific language impairment (SLI). In autistic disorder, communication difficulties encompass both verbal and nonverbal aspects, and are associated with problems in socialisation and behavioural repertoire. SLI is a more selective disorder, in which the child develops along normal lines, except in the area of verbal language, where skills lag behind those of other children of the same age. Although Autism and SLI are typically regarded as separate disorders, recent investigations have found that some children with Autism show similar language characteristics to those with SLI. Whether these similarities represent a subgroup of children with Autism who share a core heritable language deficit with SLI, or whether this is merely a superficial, behavioural similarity with a different underlying cause, remains unclear. Determining the exact relationship between SLI and Autism has important implications for describing the apos; Autism and apos; phenotype as well as the possibility of determining successful communication-intervention techniques.The proposed study will use electrophysiological and behavioural methods to investigate this more closely, using methods already piloted in our lab with children with SLI. Brain event-related potentials will be measured by recording electrical activity at the scalp as the child listens to verbal and nonverbal sounds. This allows us to track the time course of the brain and apos;s response to different kinds of sounds, and to obtain brain indices of auditory short-term memory. In addition, a variety of behavioural tests that assess a wide range of verbal domains will be administered. These data will then be compared

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Speech Perception and Language Acquisition in Hearing-Impaired Children' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

This project focuses on the link between speech perception and language acquisition. It will explore the efficiency of the phonological learning mechanisms in hard of hearing children. Current research in psycholinguistics shows that normal-hearing young children are born with extraordinary speech perception capacities. They learn an astonishing number of sound regularities in their native language within the first year of life. These regularities, in turn, facilitate the acquisition of other, more abstract aspects of language, like vocabulary and syntax, a process called “phonological bootstrapping”. For example, in order to segment the continuous speech stream into word units and to learn a first vocabulary, English infants use the predominant word stress pattern of English (the initial syllable of English words is often stressed, as in ‘WINdow’) to determine word boundaries from the age of 7 ½ months. We will study the phonological bootstrapping mechanism in the children with various hearing disorders, who have reduced speech perception capacities, to determine if impairments in their linguistic development, which often are considerable, can be explained by a failure in phonological bootstrapping. We will adapt a certain number of existing psycholinguistic experiments for hearing impaired children and create new ones. We will also include speech perception experiments and standardized language tests, in order to create a test battery allowing the establishment of a phonological bootstrapping profile for children with various hearing disorders. Their performances will be compared to those of their normal-hearing peers and to those of younger children, in order to determine if the linguistic development of hard of hearing children is only delayed or qualitatively diffe

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Development of multi-source micro energy harvesting power management devices' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Many IoT market leaders incl. ARM Holdings (the world's leading semiconductor IP supplier) predict that the IoT will begin to free itself from battery power in 2018.  Without reducing the reliance on battery power, there is a significant roadblock in reaching trillions of devices. Future devices will need to be self-sufficient and operate without any battery swaps or any human intervention for decades. This will be made possible through harvesting of all the available ambient energy in the environment, for example:Thermal energy associated with static and dynamic temperature differences;Vibration energy e.g. from vehicles driving over a bridge or oil following through a pipe;Light energy from indoor artificial lighting. For these predictions to be realised, the current roadblock is micro energy harvesting systems that can effectively capture all available energy using just one energy management device. The technical challenge is that these ambient energy sources have widely different electrical characteristics that must be managed e.g: photovoltaic and thermoelectric harvesters are low-voltage DC, resistive, “trickle” sources; electrodynamic harvesters are high-voltage, inductive, “pulsed” sources whilst piezoelectric harvesters are high-voltage AC, capacitive, “bursty” sources.Trameto is a UK-based fabless semiconductor business that is focusing on bringing ‘HarvestAll’ to market. HarvestAll enables energy harvesting from any-single harvester type, many-identical harvesters and multiple-different harvester types. This functionality is not currently available in the market. This project will help us to: further strengthen our market understanding, formalise existing and build new relationships with partners across the energy harvesting ecosystem to develop our supply ch
