Consumer interest in wines produced in organic vineyards has increased significantly in the last few years (1) ______, to date it is unclear whether these production methods actually improve soil or grape quality. (2)_______ will be the first phase of a long-term study on a New Zealand vineyard. These results (3) _________ whether methods of viticulture improve grape quality.

(5)_______ will consist of two treatments, organic and conventional (the control), each replicated four times in a randomised, complete block design. All organic practices will follow the standards set out by the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
________(6) will assess soil quality using physical, chemical and biological indicators over six years. The next phase will then assess the physiology of the vines.
A team of researchers have written a project summary for a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation of the United States. Ignoring the words in bold, read the first sentence of each of the five paragraphs from the project summary (a-e). Then in pairs, say what you think the best order is:
1□ 2 □ 3□ 4□ 5□
a) Both teams for this project already have knowledge in various features of the problems described.
b) However there are very few outcomes and the methods that were developed have broken down.
c) The need for mathematical analysis of shell models is in response to a variety of technological demands, which call for more complex models.
d) This project will focus on stabilization and optimal control, particularly with boundary controls, of systems concerning dynamical shells.
e) We propose to carry out collaborative research between the French National Institute of Computer Science Research and the University of Ottawa in the general area of control theory for models illustrated by partial differential equations (PDEs).

A) Match a sentence (a-e) from the Exercise 10 to the correct paragraph (1-5) of the full project summary.
NSF GRANT PROPOSAL FOR STABILIZATION AND OPTIMAL CONTROL OF DYNAMIC SHELL MODELS
[1] _________We intend to investigate problems related to stabilisation and optimal control of dynamic shell models where control actions and sensing are put into place via smart materials technology.
[2] _______ The principle model considered in this proposal is a three-dimensional structural acoustic interaction with curved walls, which is modeled by shell equations. This model occurs in the context of decreasing noise or pressure entering an acoustic chamber (e.g. airplane’s cabin) and generated by an exterior source.
[3] _______ Thus mathematical investigation related to control problems of shell equations is challenging from a mathematical point of view and calls for the introduction of new tools and new techniques for the analysis and computations connected to the problem.
[4] _______ Two approaches will be considered. First, piezoelectric shell’s modeling tracked by past researchers and a second centre on piezoelectric patches attached to the curved wall. These approaches will result in two different control models. Rigorous mathematical analysis of the problem, including comparative analysis, followed by numerical computations and experimental verification of the models will represent the essential part of the project.
[5] _______ Thus we wish to combine the teams’ expertise to generate results leading to progress in the field.
