user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Shadow Trade: Unraveling Maritime Smuggling Between the Russian and Ottoman Empires (1853-1914).' (1853-1914) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

STASH deals with the history of maritime smuggling between port cities of the Russian and Ottoman Empires during the transformative period 1853 to 1914, focusing on three maritime regions  the Black Sea, the Azov Sea, and the Southeastern Mediterranean.The two empires, at the core of the Eastern Question, occupied a central position in European economic, social, and political upheavals. Within the context of the ongoing shifts between two empires and the development of legal trade relations in an era marked by intensified globalization and the transition from sail to steam, this project aims to shed light on aspects of illegal trade relations, an underexplored area of study. Specifically, we will comprehensively analyse various facets of the smuggling of both goods and people within the established trade routes and networks. The study will examine the macrostructure of the smuggling linkages, focusing on the hinterland of production/origin of clandestine trade and the foreland, the destination of material and human cargoes. It aims to identify the main nodes of export and import and the means of transportation. The research team comprises a PI, three senior researchers, six post-doctoral researchers, and two PhD candidates from Ukraine, Turkey, Romania, Italy, and Greece. They will utilize unpublished archival sources to produce two collective volumes, numerous articles, two PhD dissertations, organize four workshops, and an international conference, create an archival and bibliographical corpus, and produce a documentary film.  The project aims to advance our knowledge of inter-imperial relations beyond conventional geopolitical approaches. Understanding how these two neighbouring powers navigated their shadow relations adds depth to our comprehension of the broader Ea

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'HPeV3 structural and functional studies'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Human parechovirus 3 (HPeV3) belongs to the genus Parechovirus within the large and growing family of Picornaviridae. Currently, the Picornaviridae family contains 37 species grouped into 17 genera. All picornaviruses are small icosahedrally-symmetric non-enveloped viruses that possess single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genomes. Picornaviruses, including parechoviruses, contain significant human pathogens that can cause a wide range of disease symptoms. Parechoviruses mainly cause asymptomatic or mild infections primarily in small children. Recently, however, there have been many case reports describing parechovirus association with encephalitis, meningitis and neonatal sepsis. Due to the relatively simple protein components of parechovirus (just three major capsid proteins which are highly variable, and some very conserved non-structural proteins), the majority of the variation in disease is associated with the variation in the capsid proteins.The entry pathway of parechoviruses is poorly understood. In general the understanding on picornavirus entry is built on the evidence obtained from a few model viruses. The HPeV1 life cycle starts via binding of the virus to integrin receptor(s) on the surface of the host cell; then follows virus internalization via clathrin-mediated endocytosis and transport of the virus in endosomal vesicles to the site of replication in the cell interior. HPeV1 binds to two integrins, αVβ3 and αVβ6, via its RGD motif located in VP1 on the capsid. HPeV3 does not possess a RGD motif thus further studies are needed to elucidate the HPeV3 entry pathway. This project aims to unravel structural and biological properties of HPeV3 to facilitate a progress in parechovirus diagnostic and treatment. Such highly innovative methods as cryo EM, CEMOVIS and

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Physiological role of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor and its implications in apoptotic cell-death signaling pathways' (2002-2006) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is an 18-kDa protein receptor, mainly found on the outer mitochondrial membrane of cells. The PBR seems to play a role in several cellular functions, including heme synthesis, steroidogenesis, DNA synthesis, cell growth and differentiation.Recently, a role for PBR in apoptosis has also been proposed and a number of findings argue in favour of this:- over-expression of PBR has been described in a large range of human cancers;- regulation of programmed cell death has in mitochondria a check-point targeted by various conventional cancer therapies; and- PBR ligation by directed drugs, enhances apoptosis induction in many types of tumours, reversing the Bcl-2 cytoprotective effects.These findings promoted the development of PBR targeting approaches in treatment of human cancers. Even though experimental data suggest that PBR may play a key role in various physiological and pathological processes, very little data are available on the protein-receptor cell physiology and on its role in apoptotic cell-death signalling pathways.OBJECTIVES: Our aim is then to investigate these aspects, studying the PBR capacity to modulate and shape the cell signalling, principally in respect of the mitochondrial function.In detail, we will:- examine the PBR expression and localization in cells of interest;- generate by molecular biology techniques recombinant probes of PBR;- investigate the result on cell signalling pathways of the PBR genetically and pharmacologically modulation;- finally, asses PBR role in respect of the apoptotic cell death and tumourigenesis.

user: Explain how 'Sprawlescapes. A comparative study of landscape discourses of urban sprawl in Sweden and Germany' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project analyses planning discourses on urban SPRAWL, a phenomenon that is considered to be an escalating problem in Europe. By focusing on the role of ‘landSCAPE’ in these discourses, the study aims to reveal opportunities to ESCAPE from the currently dominant dichotomised and reductionist approaches to this highly complex and culture-dependent phenomenon.In Germany and Sweden, planning discourses have developed that seem to provide a nuanced understanding of ‘urban sprawl’ by introducing the landscape-related concepts ‘stadslandskap’ and ‘Zwischenstadt’. The project proposes to conduct a comparative analysis of these discourses by exploring how the landscape-related concepts are built up and disseminated. To gain a deeper understanding of the debates, the project will analyse the complex and competing imaginaries involved, for these imaginaries are assumed to constitute the interpretative frame of the planning discourses. To achieve these objectives, the project will develop a specific discourse analytical approach that allows focusing on the underlying cultural patterns. Such an approach will also facilitate mutual learning as an alternative to (quantitative) European comparisons; by discussing such strategies for learning, the study will contribute to the implementation of the European Landscape Convention.The project will allow the applicant to deepen her expertise in the German planning discourse on ‘urban sprawl’ while gaining intimate knowledge of Swedish ideas and theories of ‘landscape’ and ‘sprawl’. This will further reinforce her expertise in European landscape research. The project will open up a wide range of comparative studies, collaborations and other attempts to bridge language and culture divides within European landscape architecture and landscap

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Next Generation Train Control' (NGTC).

assistant: **Innovation**

The main scope of this Next Generation Train Control (NGTC) project is to analyse the commonality and differences of required functionality for mainline and urban lines and develop the convergence of both ETCS and CBTC systems, determining the level of commonality of architecture, hardware platforms, and system design that can be achieved. This will be accomplished by building on the experience of ETCS and its standardised train protection kernel, where the different manufacturers can deliver equipment based on the same standardised specifications and by using the experience the suppliers have gained by having developed very sophisticated and innovative CBTC systems around the worldThe goal is not to develop a system of ‘one size fits all’, but to make progress for all railway domains in terms of increasing the commonality in system design and hardware, with various benefits like increasing economies of scale for suppliers, and amongst other things for customers increasing the competition between suppliers, based on standardised functions and interfaces.On top of the synergy of both systems, the NGTC project will aim to apply new technologies to the new train control system. Based on worldwide market driven requirements, NGTC proposes research work on Satellite positioning, the further development of IP based radio communication and a system approach to the moving block concept that is inexistent at the moment. If necessary proposed modifications of the ERTMS message structure will be provided, to make it a scalable solution including urban applications, while maintaining the backward compatibility with the Baseline 3 ETCS message specifications

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'SUSTAINABLE URBAN AND REGIONAL FREIGHT FLOWS' (SURFF).

assistant: **Concept**

In SURFF, the focus will be on telematics applications in seven EU cities to improve all-round accessibility of information systems within regional freight centres and to support smooth inner urban freight flows. The applications proposed will cover operational support both for individual centres and whole networks. City distribution will rely on coordinated resource management at centres, while inner city freight transport will be enhanced by interfaces with traffic information services, such as roadside multimedia kiosks for lorry drivers to obtain route guidance or freight documents without needing to access the project sites.Within the SURFF project, telematic solutions will be developed, tested and validated that improve the accessibility of information systems within freight centres for all actors involved and support the sustainability of freight flows in innerurban areas. SURFF will develop telematic solutions aimed at four different levels. The network operation of freight centres will be supported by exchanging EDIFACT messages between freight centres and by sending information about the goods flow well in advance of the physical transport. The operation and service of a single freight center is improved where a shared communication and information platform (SCIP) will be defined, where the individual logistics operations and the different modes are integrated and where common services as for example a shared mobile communication server are offered. Specific attention will be paid to the needs of SMEs which represent the main target group to be installed within freight centers. The role of the freight center related to city distribution is supported as it concerns the co-ordinated resource management for members of the freight center like coordinated distribut

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Optimizing sensitization for solid-state triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Improving the efficiency of solar cells can have far reaching impacts globally. The proposal ‘OPTSENTUC’, is devised to improve the quantum yield of solid-state triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion(sTTAUC) by optimizing the sensitization process. sTTAUC can be exploited to extend the absorption spectral range of any solar cell and hence can significantly improve single p-n junction solar cell power conversion efficiency beyond the fundamental Shockley- Queisser limit. The first part will focus on understanding the major loss mechanism in sTTAUC- the back transfer of upconverted excitation energy via Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) - and will try to address it by quantitatively optimizing sensitizer parameters. Based on this study a sensitizer concentration threshold with respect to Förster distance will be established and an annihilator-sensitizer pair with least FRET loss will be identified. The threshold intensity for TTAUC is usually orders of magnitude higher than the solar flux and decreasing sensitizer concentration to reduce FRET will further increase this threshold. The second part of the proposal will address this challenge by coupling the sensitizer absorption with a cavity mode so that the ability of the upconversion system to absorb light will be enhanced. A simultaneous coupling of another mode of the cavity will make sure the outcoupling efficiency is not compromised due to cavity introduction. Thus, enhancing the scope of sTTAUC in real world applications.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Beyond Low-Rank Factorizations', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Low-rank matrix factorizations (LRMFs), such as principal component analysis, nonnegative matrix factorization and sparse component analysis, are linear dimensionality reduction techniques and are powerful unsupervised models to represent and analyze high-dimensional data sets. They are used in a wide variety of areas such as machine learning, signal processing, and data mining. Many LRMFs have been proposed in the literature, in particular in the last two decades, and used extensively in many applications, such as recommender systems, blind source separation, and text mining. Although LRMFs have known and still know tremendous success, they have several limitations. Two key limitations are that they are linear models, and that they only learn one layer of features. In this project, we go beyond LRMFs, considering generalized LRMFs (G-LRMFs) that overcome these limitations, considering non-linear and deep LRMFs. These generalizations have been introduced more recently, and they have hardly been explored compared to LRMFs. In particular, eLinoR will focus on three fundamental aspects: (1) Theory: understand G-LRMFs with a focus on computational complexity and identifiability (uniqueness of the decompositions), (2) Algorithms: solve G-LRMFs via provably correct and heuristic algorithms, and (3) Models: design new G-LRMFs for specific applications. This unified approach will enable us to understand these problems better, to develop and analyze algorithms, and to then use them for applications. The novelty and ground-breaking nature of this project also lies in the methodology, exploring G-LRMFs from different but complementary perspectives, bringing together ideas from different fields. The ultimate goal of eLinoR is to provide practitioners with theoretical and algorithmi

user: Explain how 'Ensuring quality of innovative crop growth inputs derived from biological raw materials ( functional food for plants ).' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of this Exploratory Award is to supply quantified background information on the current and future markets of environmentally benign, reliable and efficient organic crop growth inputs (fertilisers; plant protection agents), particularly for intensive and organic horticulture. The current market situation of these inputs is one of scarcity, a situation that restricts the 'greening' of primary food production. The objective of the anticipated CRAFT Project following this Exploratory phase is to supply the growing and as yet unmet demand across the EU for such agricultural inputs. This is done by:1) optimising existing 'green' manufacturing processes taking into consideration processing quality (ISO9001) and organic standards for input-use (EU-regulation 2092/91);2) scientific in vivo product testing for efficacy and sustainability, and;3) trans-European co-operation between Sees, RTD performers and end-users to optimise production and market profiling.
