user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'N-Heterocyclic Carbenes on Silicon: from Structure to Function' (SMARTFACE) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The significance of cutting-edge nanoelectronics is inherently tied to the utilization and integration of silicon. The material is embedded as a semiconductor in a multitude of devices, such as nano- and microchips for computing. Given its paramount importance for the high-tech industry, intense research focuses on manipulating and optimising silicon surfaces. Silicon coating efforts aim to increase its resistance against harsh conditions (temperature, high electron potential, UV light, etc.), steer its electric conductivity, or covalently attach (bio)molecules for specific applications (such as biosensing). Depending on the objective, strategies for surface engineering include techniques such as atomic layer deposition or silanization. A fundamentally novel approach to functionalize silicon surfaces has recently been developed by the team of Prof. Frank Glorius from the University of Mnster, who described a strategy to immobilize derivatives of N-heterocyclic carbenes on a boron-doped silicon substrate. Transposing this concept to industrially applied silicon surfaces such as Si(100), SMARTFACE aims for the following research objectives: Develop a general strategy for NHC immobilization on silicon, study the connection of the molecular NHC structure and surface coverage, understand the impact of the coating on the material, and, finally, explore the effect of the surface modification on silicons relevant properties. The Glorius group has a unique knowledge base in the field of NHCs and surface engineering and simultaneously possesses state-of-the-art hardware to analyze fabricated materials. Given its potentially transformative impact on the field of silicon surface engineering, SMARTFACE perfectly falls within the scope of the HE Work Programme, specifically in the pu

user: Explain how 'DEVELOPMENT OF NEW GYRASE INHIBITORS BY COMBINATORIAL BIOSYNTHESIS' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of this project is to generate novel inhibitors of gyrase and topoisomerase IV by engineering the biosynthetic pathways of very potent natural inhibitors of these enzymes. The project will focus on antibiotics of the aminocoumarin type (novobiocin, clorobiocin, coumermycin A1, simocyclinones) and the cyclothialidine type (cyclothialidine and GR12222X). All these compounds are produced by Stneptomyces strains. The interaction of novobiocin, clorobiocin and the cyclothialidines with bacterial gyrase has been elucidated with biophysical and X-ray crystallographic techniques by members of this consortium. The interaction of the simocyclinones, and of newly generated inhibitors, with gyrase and topoisomerase IV will be investigated in this project. The results will be utilized for rational approaches for the development of new inhibitors by genetic engineering. The complete gene clusters involved in the biosynthesis of novobiocin, clorobiocin, coumermycin and simocyclinone have been cloned and sequenced by the members of this consortium. The biosynthetic gene cluster of cyclothialidine will be identified in this project. Genes and operons within the gene clusters will be modified by gene inactivation, gene expression or gene replacement experiments within the natural producers. Furthermore, vectors containing entire biosynthetic gene clusters will be modified in E. coli and subsequently introduced into suitable Streptomyces host strains for production of novel metabolites. New molecules will also be generated by feeding specific strains with synthetic analogues of precursors of biosynthesis. Accumulated compounds will be modified chemically in order to generate an even wider array of new molecules. The biological activity of the novel molecules will be assayed using

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Decentralized subscription payments with cryptocurrency' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

There are more than 2000 cryptocurrencies, however they are designed for single use only with push-based payment methods, the buyer initiates the payment. This allows users full control over their funds, since cryptomoney is only transferred to a merchant if a user initiates the transaction. In order for a consumer to use bitcoins for recurring payments, he or she will have to use another service on top of using the bitcoin service. In addition, unlike credit card payments, bitcoin payments are always for a set amount. Some subscription services raise their prices every year, consumers who are already signed up for recurring payments will just be charged the new payment amount as soon as it goes into effect. For cryptocurrency users, it doesn’t work this way. Since all virtual payments must be authorized by the user, any change in payment requires the user to sign up again with their virtual wallet account. Thus, raising subscription prices can be more difficult when dealing with customers who use cryptocurrencies.ambrpay has found a way through smart contracts to stay true to the crypto ideals of having a trustless system, where each individual is responsible for their own funds. All while making transactions cheaper, faster and the use of your cryptocurrency a more convenient and simpler experience.ambrpay aims at bringing decentralized subscriptions to cryptocurrency. ambrpay creates and interacts with smart contracts on the blockchain. Customers can put their funds in these smart contracts from which the businesses that provide a service can take the necessary amount of crypto from. ambrpay provides the business with a web interface where they can manage their customers and their payments. ambrpay does not run its own blockchain or currency, can currently only work

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Study of the black sea's ecosystem : development of a 3d coupled ecosystem-hydrodynamical model' (1998-2002).

assistant: **Innovation**

The main objective of the project is to construct and validate a tractable and reliable 3D biogeochemical model of the Black Sea's basin ecosystem coupled with a benthic model and a hydrodynamical model at mesoscale in order to understand the mesoscale ecodynamics in connection with the spatial and temporal variability of the hydrodynamics and, in particular to assess and predict the response of the ecosystem to changing environmental pressures . In a first step, an ecosystem model containing the required complexity to accurately represent the Black Sea' s ecological processes will be developed. Its conceptualization will be based on a sound understanding of the Black Sea's ecosystem gained from the inspection of data bases and previous modeling studies. This model will be coupled with a biogeochemical benthic model and with a 3D large scale hydrodynamical model. Once validated, the complex ecosystem model will be simplified by aggregating some of its state variables in order to derive a tractable but reliable reduced ecosystem model. An objective method based on the computation of the energy fluxes between the different trophic levels will be used to select the aggregation scheme which simulates best the dynamics of the complex model . Then, the aggregated ecosystem model will be coupled with a hydrodynamical model at mesoscale . The performance of the coupled model will be assessed by comparing model predictions with ocean color images and field observations.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Structure function analysis of drug resistent hiv-reserve transcriptase having new improved selection properties' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

It is our aim to contribute to the understanding of drug resistance of HIV-RT by comparing structure and function of wild type and drug-resistant HIV-RT using physical and chemical methods.Drug resistance is an inherent problem in HIV monotherapy. One possible way to overcome or to reduce this problem might be the application of a combination of drugs. The choice of suitable drug combination is a problem which remains to be solved. In order to improve the basis for a sound formulation of a combination therapy, information about the function of resistant mutants is required. This project focuses on the in vitro study of structure and function of HIV-RT mutants resistant against nucleosidic inhibitors. In order to achieve a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of drug resistance, analysis of wild type HIV-RT is included in the study.Special emphasis will be put on the analysis of those nucleoside inhibitor mutants exhibiting a better replication function. The interest in these mutants is based on the conjecture that they might be able to repress the other HIV strains in a host because they have a selection advantage. If this view is correct subsequent treatment with a second inhibitor using knockout conditions might be more successful. The project is a collaborative effort of four European groups and a Canadian group as subcontractor. It will be applied a combination of physical, biochemical and enzymatic methods, such as x-ray crystallography (Strasbourg), NMR-techniques(Zurich), neutron solution scattering(Munich), chemical and radioactive (gamma-ray) probing and enzymatic analysis(Munich, Rome, Strasbourg to HIV-RT, wild type and mutants. The final goal of the project is to provide the molecular basis for a more effective combination therapy.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Safe and economic machining of magnesium castings'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Objectives and content Magnesium is the lightest metal to be used in construction and therefore offers the greatest potential for weight reduction. For this reason especially the automotive industry has an upcoming interest in the use of magnesium alloys in order to reduce the fuel consumption of vehicles. A changing of the material spectrum from iron- and aluminium-based materials to magnesium is therefore strongly supported. When machining magnesium several difficulties and even dangers are likely to occur keeping many potential users from making magnesium the material of their choice:  a low quality of the workpiece surface due to adhesive effects between tool and workpiece  an insufficient accuracy in geometry and shape due to high thermal expansion of the workpiece  the danger of chip ignition  safety hazards when using unsuitable cooling lubricants. The aim of the proposal is to introduce safe and high efficient processing of magnesium castings, especially regarding the machining process using adapted tools, cooling lubricants and a high speed cutting (HSC) linear direct driven machining centre with integrated safety devices. The following advantages can be directly attributed to the project:  general design rules for magnesium components when turning the workpiece material from cast iron and aluminium to magnesium leading to an increased use of magnesium workpieces. A reduction of fuel consumption of at least 22,5 million l/year (worth: approx. 17 million ECU) and a reduction of an equivalent C02-emission in Europe by of 4.8*108 t especially due to the SF6 replacement in casting is possible.  increase of the machined volume of workpiece material per tool life of up to factor 50 when machining magnesium with diamond-coated tools and a reduction of tool costs per w

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Determinants of Eurosceptical Voting Behavior in CEE Countries and Party Responses' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The project intends to undertake a quantitative cross-national study of the successes of Eurosceptic political parties in Central and East Europe (CEE). It approaches this question in a novel way by exploiting systematic but unexplained attitudinal differences between mass publics in the CEE states and Western Europe. In doing so, it addresses empirically one of the central questions of contemporary European politics, the perception of European integration and the causes of the growing disenchantment on a part of the European public. The central argument is that the success of the Eurosceptic label in CEE party politics is not entirely a function of anti-EU sentiments but  in part a response to mainstream party convergence and the perception of widespread corruption among domestic elites. By operationalizing and empirically testing these propositions with country-level and individual-level data from the region, it is possible to parse out the relative importance of these questions. Specifically, the project will implement surveys in representative CEE country(ies) where one can observe sufficient variation in type and strength of protest parties.The project forms the center piece of the fellow’s new research agenda while building on his previous work in the US. An experienced researcher, the fellow has to reestablish himself in a new scholarly community upon relocation from the United States to the University of Salzburg, Austria. There, he is expected to match the commitment and resources provided by his new academic institution. The principal benefit from this grant does not consist in launching or redirecting a career but to allow the effective progression of the fellow’s career after a major professional change.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Metallolinker-Functionalized MOF Catalysts for CO2 Hydrogenation' (TUNEMOF) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

One of the main challenges of the 21st century is the reduction of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, for which replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources will help. Methanol is a sustainable key compound that can be directly used as a low-density fuel or as a feedstock for valuable platform chemicals. To date, efforts to perform CO2 hydrogenation to methanol under mild reaction conditions have not achieved high enough selectivity at reasonable conversion values. Heterogeneous catalysts are robust and easy to recover but usually yield low selectivity due to the difficult control of the active sites during synthesis. In contrast, homogeneous catalysts feature well-defined active sites amenable to logical optimization and selectivity design, but inefficient catalyst recovery and decomposition are huge shortcomings for industrial implementation. TUNEMOF proposes to overcome these drawbacks by developing metallolinker-functionalized MOFs bearing earth-abundant metals (Fe and Mn). The immobilization of the molecular-based catalyst center will promote the metal-ligand cooperation and the secondary linker assistance will prevent the deactivation of the catalyst. Meeting this strategy with low-cost metal-based catalysts is a significant added value. TUNEMOF integrates the experience of the researcher in organometallic chemistry, the excellence of Prof. Olsbye’s group (University of Oslo) in applied chemistry of porous materials, the experience in catalytic testing of homogeneous systems of Prof. Beller (LIKAT, secondment), and in spectroscopic analysis and techno-economic assessment of Haldor Topsøe (non-academic placement). This synergy provides a unique networking platform to diversify the researcher’s individual competences and to promote the interdisciplinary and in

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Simon b. Semah Duran’s Polemic with Islam'.

assistant: **Concept**

Proposed here is a thoroughgoing analysis of the second section of R. Simon b. Semah Duran’s polemical work Qeshet u-Magen. The academic literature has much to say about the first section of Qeshet u-Magen, which deals with Christianity; its treatment of the second section, however, which concerns Islam, is much reduced. To correct this lacuna, the proposed study will demonstrate that Duran knew Arabic and consulted Islamic sources, assess his command of these sources, investigate his use of Jewish and, possibly, Christian sources and Hebrew translations of Islamic sources in order to investigate the extent of his originality, and discuss the strategies and tactics that Duran brought to his polemic with Islam. This comprehensive research project will enhance our knowledge and understanding of Qeshet u-Magen, its author, and the Jewish–Muslim polemic tradition in the medieval era, and will elevate the polemic with Islam in Qeshet u-Magen to the place that it deserves in the academic literature.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Wet deposition of silicon for electrochemical devices'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Nanotechnology is expected to become a driver of sustainable energy development and energy storage. The possible photovoltaic (PV), thermoelectric, electrochemical application of various nanostructures including carbon nanotubes, C60, semi-conductor quantum dots has been intensively investigated. In the latter case, CdSe, CdTe and PbS nanocrystals have been successfully integrated in PV cells whereas transition metal oxides and phosphates nanocrystals have proven to be more efficient than their bulk counterparts as electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. This breakthrough has been made possible by the use of solution phase routes to tailor the size, shape, surface state and self-assembly of the nanoparticles We propose to explore the sonoelectrochemical and plasma assisted deposition methods to directly coat selected substrates by silicon nanocrystals. Glass and stainless steel substrates will respectively be used to measure the optical properties (absorption coefficient and photoluminescence) of the films and to test the electrochemical performance as an anode for Li-ion battery. This method will then be extended to polymers and fibers.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'On the Substantiality of Aristotelian Substances' (SUBSTANTIALITY).

assistant: **Concept**

Substances are the fundamental entities in Aristotle's ontology. Sensible substances, paradigmatically individual biological organism, are constituted by a form or organisational structure, and some matter. There are in particular two features characteristic of sensible substances: being separate, i.e. being independent in some sense, and being a this-something (), i.e. being an individual or something definite in some sense. What these two features exactly amount to is clearly crucial for an understanding of Aristotle's conception of substance, however, it is unfortunately also notoriously obscure and highly controversial in the literature. The purpose of this project is to clarify these two features, and thereby to advance the literature on the notion of substance and to provide new insights for important debates in contemporary metaphysics. Central in my project is a novel methodology based on Myles Burnyeat's influential work. This 'two-level methodology' reflects Aristotle's own methodology to distinguish two levels of discourse, one where a subject-matter is discussed from a more abstract perspective and one where it is discussed from a more comprehensive, causal perspective. This methodology provides the means to interpret the different passages in Aristotle's works in a context-sensitive way that allows to relativise the scope of certain assertions made there. Employing this methodology allows me to resolve a central dilemma about the notion of separation consisting in the fact that there is prima facie good reason to assume three jointly incompatible assumptions: 1) forms are substances, 2) being a substance implies being separate, and 3) forms are not separate. This method also provides the means to deal with prima facie problematic consequences of a straight
