user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Removal of organic contaminants and recycling of waste water from electroless plating process streams' (ROCWAT) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Scientific objectives and approach:Existing methods for removing persistent organic compounds from waste water are end of pipe treatments which create secondary waste streams. The overall objective of the research is to develop advanced oxidation and electrochemical processes to bring about the in situ destruction of persistent and toxic organic compounds as an integral part of PCB manufacturing operations. Both techniques directly oxidise organic components, without the production of by-products and secondary wastes. The advanced oxidation techniques will include synergistic combinations to generate powerfully oxidising radical species capable of converting most organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water, particularly at very low concentrations in the range 10 ppm to 10 ppb. The electrochemical methods will employ new anode materials, which will enable the direct oxidation of toxic and corrosive organic compounds such as chelating agents, and will be effective at higher concentrations, e.g. up to 10,000 ppm. The two methods are complementary and could be used in novel treatment combinations.Problems to be solved:The treatment of organic compounds in waste water is a problem faced throughout the European Community by most printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers and other surface treatment processors. The removal of these compounds would enable the recycle of large volumes of water within the PCB manufacturing industry in Europe. This would enable European manufacturing organisations to reduce costs and preserve natural resources. In addition to direct pollution from organic compounds, many chelating agents are used which release metals into the environment. It is important that the problem is tackled on a European scale to ensure that the treatment process is co

user: Describe how 'Modular and submersible offshore mussel rafts' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of the proposed project is to develop a new mussel farming design to allow its emplacement offshore. Mussel farming has traditionally been limited to inshore waters. However, as a consequence of industrialisation and modernisation there has been a strong proliferation of mussel farms during last years and many of the best and most obvious inshore sites have been already filled, generating important issues, such as lack of space for new farms or extension of existing ones, important visual impact and water quality problems. Some development of this concept has been achieved by SUBSEA, but requires additional know how and support mainly in farm design, as well as manufacturing materials and processes.Description of the workIt is intended to reach this objective by means of a new raft design: submersible, avoiding in this way the action of waves and wind, and modular, favouring in this way the land transport before its installation and the manipulation of the farm during refloating.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Ultrasonic Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique for Inspection of  Railway Crossings (Frogs)' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The European rail infrastructure employs high manganese, high strength steel components at safety critical locations such as crossings. Restricted access to these assets limits the range of NDT techniques available for in-service inspection to those capable of inspection from the top surface. Conventional ultrasonic inspection of high manganese steel is ineffective due to the inherent coarse grain structure and the highly anisotropic and non-homogeneous material properties; low material penetration, high scattering and beam divergence contribute to low signal-to-noise ratio of reflected signals. Conventional dual phased array techniques (with transmitter/receiver pair) have been applied in conjunction with processing features such as spatial averaging and dynamic depth focussing. However, this approach is highly inefficient and therefore inappropriate for practical deployment.The SAFTInspector proposal will enable efficient in-service inspection of manganese rail assets by applying Phased Array UT full matrix capture in combination with a novel post processing technique called Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT). This technique increases the available angular range of inspection by synthesising a large aperture transducer; therefore spatially averaging noise contributions from grain structure, allowing an increase in Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) and increasing the potential signal response from a defect.The aim is to design a novel array transducer working in a full matrix capture (FMC) mode. This novel design will enable efficient acquisition of data for SAFT processing. SAFT post processing will generate 2D and 3D reconstructions of the ultrasonic volumetric image to produce a simple pass or fail indication for the user.  This will dramatically reduce the time

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Palaeoproteomics to Unleash Studies on Human History' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

PUSHH will provide international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary doctoral training to prepare the next generation of palaeoanthropologists, palaeontologists and archaeologists to push knowledge on human biological and cultural evolution forward by using palaeoproteomics.Ancient DNA (aDNA) sequencing revolutionised our knowledge on evolution, migration and admixture of archaic and anatomically modern humans. However, no aDNA older than 0.7 million years has been retrieved yet. Ancient proteins instead survive much longer than aDNA, enabling molecular-based phylogeny beyond the limits of aDNA degradation. They can also be recovered from cultural heritage objects, helping to understand how they were made. Presently though, there are very few specialists that have been trained to analyse ancient proteins, in stark contrast to the study of aDNA. The growing demand of information provided by palaeoproteomics will require highly qualified specialists with a multidisciplinary background in analytical chemistry, bioinformatics, palaeoanthropology, palaeontology and archaeology and PUSHH will build that competence.The PUSHH network aims at:(i) forming, through research-based training, the professional profiles behind tomorrow’s state-of-the-art analysis of ancient proteins from palaeoanthropological, palaeontological and archaeological materials,(ii) consolidating existing constructive interaction across disciplines to focus different expertise and backgrounds into the common aim of advancing palaeoanthropology and archaeology,(iii) stimulating the development of an application-oriented mindset for direct or indirect exploitation of PUSHH R&D activities, through the right set of specific research-related and transferable skills.As a key PUSHH feature, the unique contribution

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Development of thin film Solar cells based on WIde band Gap kesterite absorbers' (SWInG).

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of this proposal is to develop wide band gap thin film solar cells based on kesterite absorbers for future application in high efficiency and low cost tandem PV devices. The SWInG working group will focus both on the development of the processes for the synthesis of such solar cells based on the Cu2ZnXY4 (CZXY with X=Sn, Si, Ge and Y= S, Se) compounds and on the understanding of the physical and electrical properties of the high band gap absorber in order to reach high conversion efficiency. The key research challenges will be: developing up-scalable processes for the synthesis of the absorbers; defining the specifications for high quality wide band gap absorbers as well as suitable back contact and buffer/window layers; assessing the potential of this technology for PV applications. The wide band gap thin films solar cells developed in this project are expected to reach a stable efficiency of 15 % on a laboratory scale and 12 % for a mini-module prototype. The publications of specifications for the synthesis of high quality Cu2ZnXY4 absorber as well as suitable back/front contact are expected. The lead users will be PV modules manufacturers that work so far with thin films technologies, as well as the companies that design and produce the machines for the synthesis of such devices. The results will be disseminated and communicated to the European PV industries and the scientific community. The intensive exchange of researchers between the partners during the project will also lead to an enhanced European collaboration in the research field of thin film solar cells.

user: Describe how 'Therapeutics based on the eAXON technology' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Within the eAXON project, which is funded by an ERC CoG, we have developed and demonstrated wireless microstimulators whose operation is based on rectification of volume conducted bursts of innocuous high-frequency current externally delivered through textile electrodes. In contrast to previous implantable stimulation technologies apt for clinical use, our technology allows the implementation of much thinner implants that can be minimally invasively deployed by injection. Our prototypes are threadlike, with a diameter of less than 1 mm, and consist of a silicone tubular body with two electrodes at the opposite ends and a titanium capsule in the middle that hermetically houses the electronics. Such a degree of miniaturization is possible because our technology avoids the need for bulky components within the implants (e.g., batteries or coils). The proposed PoC project is essentially intended to facilitate the exploitation of this technology for therapeutics based on electrical stimulation.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Super-resolution microscopy for semiconductor metrology' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Super-resolution microscopy has revolutionized imaging by breaking what was believed to be unbreakable: the diffraction limit  which determines what a microscope can resolve. However, many disciplines in science and engineering cannot benefit from super-resolution microscopy, because practically all current super-resolution microscopes require fluorescence, often introduced by labelling  that is chemically modifying  the samples of interest. The semiconductor industry is the driver of digitization by producing ever smaller integrated circuits for faster computer chips, and has worldwide importance. The critical dimensions of the latest generation of chips are in the nanometer range, enabled by the breakthrough technology of extreme-ultraviolet nanolithography. An efficient production process requires constant quality inspection of the printed features, either directly on the integrated circuits or on dedicated metrology targets. However, the resolution of current all-optical microscopy-based metrology methods cannot keep pace with the fast development of smaller structures by nanolithography.Within my ERC Starting Grant, I demonstrated that high-harmonic generation  that is the frequency upconversion of laser pulses  can be optically suppressed and spatially confined in semiconductors without the need for labelling. This can be utilized as sub-diffraction emission for super-resolution scanning microscopy. I will further develop this technique in MICROSEM in order to reach resolution below 100 nm in a conventional optical microscope operating in the visible and ultraviolet region, without the need of complicated vacuum equipment. This will enable crucial applications for semiconductor wafer metrology. I will demonstrate new in-device metrology, and pave the way for addit

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Understanding Dynamic Processes at Nanoscale Working Interfaces for Solar Energy Conversion' (DynNano).

assistant: **Innovation**

To slow down global warming and to overcome the reliance on fossil fuels, a transition to a carbon neutral society fueled by renewable energy sources will be crucial. Therefore, the conversion of solar energy to storable, energy-dense fuels will be an important step to satisfy the need for clean and reliable power. Economically viable systems for solar-to-chemical conversion often base on thin film photoelectrodes with highly complex internal architectures. The combination of different length scales of fundamental physical processes and inherent film heterogeneities results in a complex micro- and nanoscale behavior, which often controls critical processes of the macroscale device. The typical macroscale characterization of material properties conceals important insights into structural, compositional, and optoelectronic heterogeneity at the nanoscale as well as into local photoelectrochemical reaction processes and material stability. To provide a comprehensive portrait of the elementary steps associated with light-to-chemical energy conversion at their natural length scales and under working conditions, DynNano will launch a multimodal research program by leveraging a complementary suite of emerging nanoscale techniques for in-situ and operando characterization of energy materials. The approach will be applied to novel transition metal oxynitride semiconductors, which are poised to overcome efficiency and stability limitations of pure oxides and pure nitrides. By thoroughly correlating their nanoscale and macroscale properties, DynNano will establish the link between nanoscale processes and macroscopic performance of photoelectrochemical systems. With the gained understanding, DynNano aims at closing the photoelectrochemical cycle at the nanoscale using precisely micr

user: Explain how 'Climate change effects on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrate assemblages in European rivers: the influence of duration of dry period in temporary rivers' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Assessments of global patterns of climate change forecast a general increase of temperature and changes in precipitation. It seems that ﬂoods and droughts would become more severe and frequent across Europe, thus increasing the proportion of rivers with mediterranean characteristics in actually temperate areas. Therefore, climate change and increasing water demand will inevitably expand river drying in time and space. Hydrological effects include flow interruptions, loss of hydrological connectivity between river compartments and increased water residence times in extended sections of river networks. It has generated a renewed and urgent need to better understand the ecological structure and function of temporary rivers. It is recognised that the interruption of superficial flow plays an essential role in the macroinvertebrate aquatic communities, however few studies are focused in the influence of a gradient of flow intermittence on richness, density and traits of macroinvertebrate communities within temporary streams. Moreover, the importance of the dry river-beds by maintaing the diversity of aquatic and terrestrial assemblages, regulate the transfer and transformation of energy and materials, and define the resilience of the system, has been highlighted recently.The general objective of this research is to find out as the duration, extent and severity of the dry period will control both aquatic and terrestrial assemblages, to predict the effect of climate change in European rivers.The main specific objectives are: i) to analysis changes in community structure and composition, and biological traits of macroinvertebrate assemblages along a gradient of flow intermittence in temporary rivers, ii) to study the effects of different mesohabitats in macroinvertebrate commun

user: Describe how 'Process gas analysis for bio and hydrogen gas mixtures using new high pressure in Situ sensors' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

To achieve energy generation from sustainable resources the production of bio mass and the hydrogen economy are now featured worldwide with a tremendous effort. The processes for producing and cleaning of bio and hydrogen gas mixtures will be performed under elevated or high pressures. The design and performing as well as the control of those processes will generate an increasing demand for in Situ high pressure concentration measuring. Up to now no accurate instruments or even measuring methods are available for this purpose. To perform high pressure concentration measuring the usual treatment is to expand the fluid mixtures down to ambient or very low pressure, which has many disadvantages and may even be not possible in certain cases. The goal of the ProBio-HySens project is the development and combination of sensors for measuring optical, thermo physical and electro magnetic properties, to achieve an in Situ high pressure concentration measuring in bio and hydrogen gas mixtures. To reach this main goal the development of new high pressure in Situ sensors and of a high pressure Gas Mixture Generating and Sensor Calibration apparatus (GMG-SC) is required. This instrumentation will allow the first time to analyze multi component gas mixtures in Situ under process conditions up to 200 °C and 20 MPa may be even 50 MPa.  It avoids devices for sampling, pressure reduction and control which have to be used up to now. Thereby no blocking of valves and tubings by condensation, freezing or precipitation will occur any more. More over it avoids sophisticated, time and cost consuming analyzers requiring intermediately high calibration efforts. The new senor modules will be robust and reliable and range between very economic versions to high end solutions. They will be specially
