user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Electron Spectroscopy using Ultra Brilliant X-rays - a program for the advancement of state-of-the-art instrumentation and science' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The progress of materials science depends critically on the access to advanced characterization methods. During the last decades there has been an almost revolutionary development of modern X-ray based tools. We are today at a turning point in the development of synchrotron radiation based electron spectroscopy, where the program of the PI has maintained a leading position since 20 years. New techniques are evolving parallel to the development of a new generation of ultra-brilliant synchrotron radiation (SR) facilities. Electron spectroscopy is one of the most important techniques for the advancement of materials science and is one of the corner stones for the research at SR facilities. It is of highest priority to introduce new types of instruments to push the spectroscopy into new domains of time, spatial, energy and angular resolution.We have recently accomplished a break-through in this field with a new type of electron analyzer, the ArTOF instrument, capable of increasing the energy resolution down to the micro-eV range with a simultaneous increase of the transmission of almost three orders of magnitude, compared to the earlier instruments. In addition the emission angles of all electrons are determined, with high precision and within a wide cone. This allows us to obtain three dimensional electronic structure information in real time. The present ERC proposal defines an ambitious program to fully exploit the new possibilities in urgent fields of research: In situ time resolved electronic band structure of organic crystals for electronic applications, time resolved studies of 3D band structure of solids and new 2D materials (graphene, topological insulators), electron structure and dynamics of materials for solar cell applications, and in other important research f

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Targeting Hypoxic Deep-Seated Tumours with Ru(II)-Rhodamine Complexes via Sonodynamic Therapy', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is emerging as a promising alternative to conventional chemotherapy and light-activated therapies. Unlike other approaches, which often suffer from limited tissue penetration or severe systemic toxicity, SDT capitalizes on the unique properties of ultrasound to activate specialized compounds known as sonosensitizers. Upon exposure to ultrasound (up to 10 cm depth), these sonosensitizers generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) through cavitation-driven processes, thereby initiating localized oxidative stress and subsequent cancer cell death.  Despite these advantages, several critical challenges remain. One of the most significant obstacles is the hypoxic nature of deep-seated tumours. To address this limitation, new sonosensitizers must be specifically designed to favor oxygen-independent pathways, particularly through Type I mechanisms involving electron-transfer reactions. This project seeks to address this issue thrugh the rational design, synthesis, and biological evaluation in different cancer cell models of a new class of Ru(II)-rhodamine sonosensitizers. The innovation rests on a dual-component strategy: rhodamine-based moieties are incorporated for their ability to respond efficiently to cavitation events induced by ultrasound, while a strategically tailored Ru(II) metal fragment serves as an electron-transfer center. Following ultrasound irradiation and cavitation, excitation of the rhodamine unit promotes charge transfer to the Ru(II) center, enabling  Type I ROS generation even under hypoxic conditions. Beyond their therapeutic potential, these Ru(II)-rhodamine complexes will be rigorously characterized at both the physicochemical and biological levels, providing value insights into their properties and their induced therapeutic effec

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'What Matters for a Good Life?  A Novel Approach to Essential Preferences, Skills, and Personal Attributes' (FELICITAS).

assistant: **Concept**

FELICITAS revolutionizes the way we think about preferences, skills, and other latent personal attributes (PSAs), estimates their heterogeneity along with its determinants, and provides policy implications.PSAs are key drivers of a myriad of decisions which combine to create an individual’s life story. Differences in PSAs, together with constraints and luck, underlie inequalities in outcomes. Knowledge of PSAs is essential for policymakers to design effective public policy. Self-knowledge of PSAs is crucial for individuals to sort into occupations, activities, and relationships which enable them to flourish.However, unobserved PSAs are only noisily revealed by observed behavior. I develop a decision model which separately identifies noise due to imperfect self-knowledge and endogenous effort. I quantify their respective roles in different choice settings, de-bias estimates of PSAs, and assess their importance in essential life outcomes.I use these insights, along with an innovative discrete choice framework in which respondents choose between pairs of realistic life stories, to provide causal estimates of distributions in preferences (valuations) for policy-relevant life outcomes (longevity, health, family structure) in the United States and in Europe. I link the estimated heterogeneity to culture, demographics, and other PSAs.Finally, I examine a new latent personal attribute - an individual's propensity to perceive time in a distorted manner. In a twist to received wisdom that time flows faster when one is engaged in a more enjoyable activity, I propose that utility obtained from an activity can be inferred using differences between “felt” and elapsed time. I conjecture that the perceived duration of a task may both be the relevant decision variable, which reflects an

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'EUROPEAN DRUG INITIATIVE ON CHANNELS AND TRANSPORTERS' (EDICT).

assistant: **Innovation**

The European Drug Initiative on Channels and Transporters, EDICT, allies for the first time, partners with world-class expertise in both the structural and functional characterisation of membrane channels and transporters. State-of-the-art facilities and personnel for X-ray crystallography, Electron Microscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and the latest throughput technology, will provide infrastructure for scientists characterising channel and transport functions in man and pathogenic microorganisms. Our experts in the analyses of all the databases of these membrane proteins and molecular modelling will work with our industrial partners on specific targets chosen for their potential to improve the health of European citizens, increase the competitiveness of European health-related industries and businesses and address global health issues. EDICT will increase knowledge of biological processes and mechanisms involved in normal health and in specific disease situations, and transpose this knowledge into clinical applications. By combining computational and experimental analyses, existing detailed molecular models of channel and transporter proteins, and novel structures derived by our partners, will be analysed to identify the critical regions constituting drug targets. These basic discoveries will be translated via in silico and experimental strategies with our industrial partners into the design of novel drugs that modify activities of the membrane proteins for the benefit of the patients. The range of human proteins covered includes potassium channels, anion and cation transporters, neurotransmitter transporters, cation-transporting ATPases and mitochondrial transporters. Structures of bacterial homologues to the human proteins are exploited to inform the studies of

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Probing fundamental physics with multi-wavelength cosmology' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Recent measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) combined with the large-scale distribution of galaxies have defined a standard cosmological model. This model is a remarkable fit to the observations but also raises profound questions - we do not know how the initial conditions were imprinted in the early Universe, nor do we know the nature of the dark energy. In this proposal, I request funds to set up a new cosmology data analysis team at the University of Manchester to tackle these issues. Over the next five years, my team will pursue a program of work intended to have a large impact on two hugely important fields of observational cosmology which are uniquely suited to answering these questions --- the polarisation of the microwave background and weak gravitational lensing. The former is the most powerful way to probe the early Universe while the latter is potentially the most sensitive probe of dark energy.  Building on the innovative methods I developed for the QUaD experiment, I will apply new analysis techniques to mitigate systematics and maximise the science return from current and future CMB polarisation experiments including the Planck satellite, the ground-based QUIJOTE experiment and phase 2 of the ground-based QUIET experiment. In the field of weak lensing, I will perform pioneering radio lensing analyses with forthcoming instruments including the Square Kilometre Array pathfinders, e-MERLIN and MeerKAT. One particularly novel idea which I will develop is the use of polarisation information to reduce noise and to minimise contamination from the intrinsic alignment of galaxies in radio lensing analyses.  The research described in this proposal will allow my team to establish an international leadership position in both CMB polarisation and radio

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Pre-Normative Research for Thermodynamic Optimization of Fast Hydrogen Transfer'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Hydrogen transfer concerns filling and emptying processes. Filling generates heat which can lead to overheating of composite pressure vessels especially when filling transportable containers or fuelling vehicles. Emptying generates cooling. Excessive cooling may occur during delivery of hydrogen from a trailer. The HyTransfer project will address both issues.As hydrogen vehicle refuelling is the leading application the project will thus focus on fast filling of composite tanks. To avoid overheating, the speed of transfer can be limited or the gas cooled prior to introduction. Both impacts performance and costs, temperature control is thus essential for optimization of gas transfer. Temperature limits of transfer can apply to material, that must not exceed design temperature (e.g. 85°C), or to gas that must not exceed a specified limit. HyTransfer aims to develop and experimentally validate a practical approach for optimizing means of temperature control during fast transfers of compressed hydrogen to meet the specified temperature limit (gas or material), taking into account the system’s thermal behaviour. Whereas existing approaches focus on gas temperature and specify gas pre-cooling temperature, this project will be based on the implementation of a simple model predicting gas and wall temperature to determine the amount of cooling required to avoid exceeding the limit temperature, and on the specification of cooling energy, rather than a fixed pre-cooling temperature. The relevant parameters obtained from a simple test for characterizing the thermal behaviour of a tank system will also be determined.This project aims to create conditions for an uptake of the approach by international standards, for wide-scale implementation into refuelling protocols. The new approach

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Studies in Symplectic Geometry and Hamiltonian Dynamics'.

assistant: **Concept**

I propose to pursue several independent studies in symplecticgeometry and Hamiltonian dynamics. My research objectives aretwofold. First, to solve some of the open research questionsdescribed in the proposal, which I consider to be pivotal in the field.Some of these questions have already been studied intensively, andprogress toward solving them would be of considerable significance.Second, the proposed research is closely tied to other fields suchas convex geometry and asymptotic geometric analysis (Problem 1.1and 1.2), algebraic geometry and mirror symmetry (Problem 1.4), andthe theory of mathematical billiards (Problem 1.3). Theseconnections have already proved fruitful in tackling questions thatwere out of reach for common symplectic methodology thus far, and Iexpect further significant results to be within reach. Moreover,partly due to these ties, this research has a wide range of possibleapplications outside of symplectic geometry. Therefore, my secondresearch objective is to utilize the suggested questions in order todeepen and broaden the connections between symplectic geometryand the above mentioned fields.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Integrated Design of Catalytic Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Production' (IDECAT) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The development of high-performance and conceptually innovative catalytic nanomaterials is crucial for industry and for Europes sustainable future. In Europe, several excellent research teams exist in catalysis, but there is a significant fragmentation in the area due to separate scientific communities (heterogeneous, homogeneous, and bio-catalysis) and a lack of thematic identity. IDECAT will address this fragmentation, creating a coherent framework of research, know-how and training between the various catalysis communities (heterogeneous, homogeneous, bio-catalysis) with the objective of achieving a lasting integration between the main European Institutions in the area. IDECAT integrates into a more general strategy of restructuring/reshaping the catalysis research in Europe and focuses its research actions on (i) the synthesis and mastering of nano-objects, the materials of the future for catalysis, integrating the concepts which are also common to other nanotechnologies, and (ii) the integrated design of catalytic nanomaterials to achieve their non-evolutionary and knowledge-based development. Objectives of IDECAT are to (i) create a critical mass of expertise going beyond collaboration, (ii) create a strong cultural thematic identity on nano-tech based catalysts, (iii) increase cost-effectiveness of European research, (iv) establish a frontier research portfolio able to promote innovation in catalysis use especially at the SMEs level, and (v) increase potential for training and education in multidisciplinary approaches to nano-tech based catalysis, and spreading excellence beyond the NoE to both the scientific community and to the citizen. Final objective of IDECAT is the creation of an European Research Institute of Catalysis self-sustained beyond the period of C

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'A precise irrigation sensor system to provide an accurate indication of water status in crops and deliver increased yields to farmers' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Saturas is an SME from Israel that has developed a sensor system to accurately deliver an indication of water status and determine precise irrigation levels. 95% of farmers irrigate land without any scientifically based information leading to significant overwatering and lowering potential yields. Overwatering drowns crops reducing the quantity and quality of yields. Water is becoming scarcer and more expensive as pressure on supplies continue to increase. The StemSense sensor is the world's first to deliver accurate measurements of stem water potential and relay to farmers exact quantities of water required and when. The sensor is embedded in the trunk of the plant and information sent via a communication box to the farmers. Farmers using the StemSense sensor experience up to 20% higher income, significant water savings and reduced costs. The patented technology has been engineered for use in fruit trees and successfully tested on citrus and peach trees. Within the overall project, Saturas intends to optimise the communication and control interface to reflect real-time stem water potential levels; manufacture 300 sensors for test sites; undertake full scale tests of the StemSense sensor systems in Israel, Italy and Spain; and engineer a miniaturized version of the StemSense sensor to fit grapevines.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Spectroscopic and computational investigation of chromium binding on pure minerals and Asopos aquifer soils' (SPECHROM).

assistant: **Innovation**

This project has two parallel research objectives to transfer and expand the expertise of the U.S.-based researcher, Dr. Maria Chrysochoou to the host institution, the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). The first objective addresses a frequent environmental problem, the mobility of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in polluted groundwater. Surface complexation modeling relies in recent years on spectroscopic and theoretical investigations of the binding mechanisms of metal contaminants on mineral surfaces; however, very limited studies have been conducted for Cr(VI). The researcher will utilize Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory calculations in combination with traditional sorption isotherms to study the complexation mechanisms of Cr(VI) on important sorptive surfaces (ferrihydrite, hematite, corundum and γ-alumina) under various conditions (pH, surface loading, competitive anions). The generated data will be used in future research to construct data-driven surface complexation models for Cr(VI). The second objective will be pursued as an add-on to a LIFE project coordinated by NTUA (Chromium in Asopos River System: Remediation Technologies and Measures) to guide the risk assessment and remediation efforts for this Cr(VI)-polluted area in Greece. Micro-X-ray Fluorescence, Absorption Near Edge Structure (μXANES) and Diffraction along with bulk XANES will be used to determine the binding mechanisms of Cr(VI) in the aquifer and refine the transport model and treatment design. The proposed work will build the expertise of the two participating labs (Sanitary Engineering Laboratory and Laboratory of Metallurgy) in spectroscopic techniques, adding an important element to their en
