user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'The role of pentagons in the conversion of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons into fullerenes in the interstellar space'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The Unidentified Infrared (UIR) bands are discrete emission features observed in the interstellar medium (ISM), circumstellar regions, galactic and extragalactic sources. The UIR bands are very characteristic for the C=C and C-H vibrational modes of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are thought to occur in the ISM either in the neutral, cationic, protonated, hydrogenated, dehydrogenated or substituted forms. In spite of many theoretical and experimental investigations for several decades, the exact form of PAHs or the group of PAHs responsible for the emission of the UIR bands still remains a major challenge in astronomy. Observations reveal that large PAHs (with 30 to 100 carbon atoms) harbors 1015% of elemental carbon in the ISM. These PAHs are suggested to play an important role in the ionization and energy balance of interstellar gas. Fullerene, C60 has also been identified in the ISM through its infrared bands and its electronic transitions. Observations have revealed that the abundance of C60 increases rapidly while the abundance of PAHs decreases close to stars. This has been attributed to photochemical fragmentation and isomerization processes under the influence of the strong UV radiation field but the details of this are not at all understood. This project focuses on larger (>20 C, >30 C) and compact PAHs that have the high photo-stability to withstand the intense UV radiations in space and hence could be present at high abundances in the ISM. I propose to study the photo-fragmentation pattern of astrophysically relevant PAHs using the Instrument for photo-dynamics of PAHs (i-PoP) housed at the University of Leiden. I would further extend this research to record the infrared spectra of the PAH ions stored in a 22-pole cryogenic ion-trap at FELion u

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Aviation Safety Improvement using Cost Benefit Analysis' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of this project is to improve aviation safety through the development of a novel safety approach. This approach will allow aviation stakeholders (from EASA, to civil aviation authorities, airlines, airports, air traffic control, and manufactu rers) to understand and manage the effective risk reduction when adopting a safety measure; to prioritise their safety investments when multiple options are potentially feasible; to increase safety as much as possible within the limiting budgets available; to justify investments in safety from a cost perspective. The safety approach will consist of a methodology enabling aviation stakeholders to assess the effects of their technical, managerial and political decisions at the safety level, together with the associated costs and benefits. The approach will support decisions such as whether or not to introduce a safety measure, by making priorities for investments in safety, based on the most beneficial outcome. The methodology will be implemented into a Decisi on Support System (DSS) providing a step-by-step procedure that will support the user throughout the different phases for assessing the cost effectiveness of safety measures. The DSS will incorporate a data pool for the estimation of risk reduction and cos ts related to the implementation of specific safety measures. Cost benefit analysis of safety measures is a relatively new concept in the aviation community and decision on safety related matters are taken without knowing precisely what will be the final e ffect of such decisions. This project will provide the means for taking decision at different levels (i.e., policy, procedures, and operational level) in order to understand the consequences on safety of both viewpoints: policy makers and regulator on one side

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Plasmonic nanoparticle enhanced heterojunction' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Water pollution has become a critical global challenge with serious environmental and health consequences, driven by rapid industrialization, poor waste management, and ineffective sewage systems. Addressing this critical issue requires innovative and efficient water treatment technologies. Among such technologies, photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) combines photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, showing great promise for pollutant degradation. While PEC has primarily been explored for hydrogen production, its application in water decontamination is increasingly important, highlighting the need for advanced materials to enhance PEC performance. BiVO4, a well-studied n-type semiconductor, offers potential for PEC due to its narrow band gap and low cost. However, its performance is limited by poor charge separation and high recombination rates. To overcome these challenges, this project focuses on developing a CuO/BiVO4 heterojunction, which improves charge separation through the creation of a p-n junction, leading to enhanced photocatalytic performance. The inclusion of plasmonic nanoparticles, especially gold (Au), will further improve PEC activity by increasing light absorption, boosting charge transfer, and facilitating more efficient redox reactions, resulting in effective pollutant degradation.Synthesis challenges, such as scalability and purity, will be tackled using pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL), an environment-friendly and efficient technique for fabricating nanomaterials. PLAL offers advantages in controlling nanoparticle size, ensuring strong interfacial contact, and producing high-quality materials. Through the development of a plasmonic nanoparticle-enhanced CuO/BiVO4 heterojunction for PEC pollutant degradation, this project aims to deliver a scalable, effic

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Orthodoxies and Politics. The Religious Reforms of Mid-17th Century in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The project presents an interconnected view of early modern religious reforms, the fault lines of which are visible in contemporary debates. In the seventeenth century, following similar developments in Western and Central Europe, the wind of religious change swept throughout Orthodox Christianity with unparalleled intensity. While a consensus has been reached on the pivotal role of the Reforms of Nikon, named after the controversial Patriarch of Moscow (1681), its causes and far-reaching consequences remain a matter of debate, fuelled by the emergence of new sources and, at times, polemical reassessments. My first aim is to broaden the scope of research by examining unpublished texts held in repositories from Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania and Russia. Based on this data, read against published materials, I will argue that the reformist thrust covered wider areas and aspects than hitherto assumed, affecting even the Orthodox communities of the Ottoman Empire. Focusing on the vital interplay between the religious and political spheres, I will show that Nikon was part of a larger dynamics of religious reforms promoted by such diverse and disputed figures as the Calvinist Patriarch of Constantinople Kyrillos Loukaris (1638), the Westernizer Metropolitan of Kiev Peter Mohyla (1647) and the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Dositheos (1707). Given the phenomenons multi-layered nature, I propose a model of analysis that highlights the specificities, antagonisms and connections between Muscovite, Ruthenian, Wallachian and Greek reforming currents by combining historical, theological and linguistic research tools. My research compares, contextualizes and transgresses boundaries artificially imposed by nationalistic historiographies, while it tackles key topics in Early M

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Experimental research on hydraulics and depositional mechanisms of high-density turbidity currents' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Research objectives/content Experimental research on hydraulics and depositional mechanisms of highdensity sediment gravity flows (high density turbidity currents (HDTC) and debris flows) is of key importance in understanding the dispersal of sediment into the deep ocean and interpretation of thick 'structureless'sandstone bodies in the ancient deep-marine record, a subject of current debate in science and industry. This research proposal aims at testing published hypotheses and quantifying hydraulic processes by: 1. investigating turbulence modulation in relation to suspended sediment concentration and flow field characteristics in experimental HDTC's. 2.studying physical processes controlling sediment deposition from experi- mental HDTC's. The experiments will be performed with a unique set of high-resolution instrumentation at the universities of Leeds/Utrecht. Training content The applicant has a broad knowledge of deep-marine depositional systems and sediment dynamics in flowing water. Training from the universities of Leeds/ Utrecht, both retaining an unrivalled suite of facilities and research groups in Europe, is required to combine these research fields into an experimental study of hydraulics and depositional mechanisms of HDTC's. Links with industry/industrial relevance Current industrially-funded research at U. Leeds provides a unique link with many research groups within industry who are currently exploring and attemp- ting to interpret HDTC deposits for reservoir properties.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'TUM-IAS Fellowships for the cooperative development of high risk new fields in technology and science'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The Institute for Advanced Study of the “Technische Universität München” (TUM-IAS) is awarding what it calls Hans Fischer, Carl von Linde and Rudolf Diesel Fellowships to outstanding external Senior and Junior scientists, in order to promote the development of advanced new ideas in technology and science, offering its uniquely productive environment as an embedding for the endeavors. This Fellowship program, which was already present in the charter of the Institute when it was created (in 2005), conforms almost seamlessly with the goals and aims of the COFUND program. Granting of a Fellowship is entirely based on the personal excellence of the external researcher. Hans Fischer Fellows remain members of their own institution with a partial residence commitment to Munich ranging over three years, while Carl von Linde Fellows become employees of TUM for a period of three years. In both categories there is a ""senior"" and a ""junior"" variety, where the junior Fellowships aim especially at the development of an advanced pool of young and promising researchers, who, after their Fellowship, would become strong candidates for Professorships or Research positions all over Europe. Rudolf Diesel Fellows are researchers from industry, who aim at the unconstrained development of a promising new idea. The Institute has on a continual basis around 45 Fellows active, with some 30 Hosts and around 50 Doctoral Candidates and Postdocs directly financed from the Fellowship program (there are many more through other third-party projects acquired by our Focus Groups). A net increase of 25% of the existing program is proposed, together with a new international constituent. Such expansion would not only advance ""high-risk, high reward"" innovation across disciplinary, institutional, nationa

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Meiotic Control of Recombination in Crops' (MEICOM).

assistant: **Concept**

The increasing growth of human population and the intrinsic increase in world pollution, together with the uncertain challenge of climate change will undeniably require an internationally sustained effort to meet the global food demand. An increase of food production by at least 50% has been projected to be necessary by 2050. Thus, Food Security is one of the most important challenges for the future. Classical plant breeding has been crucial to improve our crop species from the beginning of human civilizations until now. Classical plant breeding harnesses the natural genetic variation that is generated by meiotic recombination. During meiosis, new allele combinations are obtained which could confer new improved phenotypes. Nevertheless, plant breeders are reaching the limits of this methodology. These boundaries are intrinsically shaped by the restrictions on the frequency and distribution of meiotic recombination in the different crop species. In cereals, it has been estimated that 30-50% of genes rarely (if at all) recombine, limiting the genetic variation available to use by plant breeders. The MEICOM consortium has been designed to prepare future scientists, academics, plant breeders and policy makers in how to manipulate and control meiotic recombination in different crops (brassicas, wheats, barley, tomato, maize) and to provide a sustainable assurance on Food Security for the future. MEICOM is a network of the finest European Plant Meiosis Researchers with internationally acclaimed industrial partners to gain knowledge and transfer it into our training programme and the general public.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Angiogenesis-inducing Bioactive and Bioresponsive Scaffolds in Tissue Enginering' (ANGIOSCAFF) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Angiogenesis underlies almost all biological processes of morphogenesis, including those in tissue repair and regeneration. Physiological angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interplay between cells and their environment: the extracellular matrix (ECM) provides signaling via numerous ECM adhesion molecules and growth factors bound to ECM polysaccharide components; and cells locally degrade and remodel the ECM to create pores into which angiogenic endothelial cells migrate. This observation, that physiological angiogenesis proceeds in response to solid-phase cues motivates our approach, namely creating bioactive resorbable materials as scaffolds that contain bound molecular signals to induce physiological angiogenesis in situations of tissue repair and regeneration. In some of our scaffold materials, porosity is inherent by virtue of fabrication, and in others porosity is created by cell-associated proteolysis as it is in physiological angiogenesis. All materials will be designed so as to be injectable or implantable into the human body. In some work, the final injectable/implantable material will comprise only materials and bioactive biomolecular signals, and in other cases it will also comprise cells. Thus, the concept of ANGIOSCAFF is to create materials that are bioresponsive (to environmental signals including pH and redox potential, and to cellular signals such as proteases), that are bioactive (by virtue of bound peptide or recombinant protein adhesion ligands and bound and releasable growth factors), and that are capable of carrying cellular therapeutics. To realize ANGIOSCAFF, we have assembled a team comprising both industrial and academic expert groups in biomaterials design and development, experts in the science and application of angiogenesis, in imaging

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'High Aspect Ratio Carbon-based Nanocomposites' (HARCANA).

assistant: **Innovation**

High aspect ratio carbon-based nanoparticles (nanotubes (CNT), nanofibres (CNF), and nanosheets or exfoliated graphite (CNS)) will be introduced into bulk polymers, into polymeric foams and into membranes. It is expected that such nanofillers will tremendously improve and modify the properties of these families of materials, allowing them to reach new markets. However, a common and fundamental problem in polymer-based nanocomposites is the large extent of agglomeration of the nanoparticles due to their high surface to volume ratio. Therefore, techniques to control deagglomeration and possibly further organization of these high aspect ratio nanoparticles in polymeric materials remain a challenge.  This project under industrial leadership will therefore aim at mastering, at the nanometric and mesoscale level, the spatial organization of carbon-based nanoparticles (CNP) with various surface functionalities, sizes and shapes having large aspect ratios in bulk, foamed and thin film (membranes) polymers by using industrially viable processes. More precisely, the aim of this proposal consists in generating polymer-based nanocomposites with a percolating nanoparticle structure that is reinforcing the material and imparts it with improved electrical and thermal conductivity at a minimum of nanoparticle loading. To reach such radically improved properties, it is important to take into account that a complete dispersion is not useful and will lead to lower properties. In order to control this CNP organization within the polymer matrix, a large set of techniques will be used. They range from synthetic approaches (""grafting from"", ""grafting to"", ""grafting through"", emulsion polymerization) to (reactive) melt or solution blending processes, and to preparation in supercritical C

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'The German Democratic Republic's Jewish Diplomacy and Coming to Terms with the Past' (GDRJEWS).

assistant: **Concept**

The project offers an examination of the German Democratic Republic's (GDR) contacts with Jewish organizations, communities, and individuals in non-socialist countries that took place as of the 1950s until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, as an essential component in the development of an East German notion of “coming to terms with the past” (Vergangenheitsbewältigung). The project is the first to set the primary focus on Jewish communities of different types as a target group of the GDR international relations. By initiating these contacts, the GDR developed distinctive political and ideological approaches to dealing with the National Socialist past, different from those developed in the Federal Republic. Throughout the 40-year existence of the GDR exchange with Jews and Israelis was influenced by the East German stance towards Zionism as well as by geopolitical dynamics of the Cold War and the Soviet Union's interests in the Middle East conflict. This research project aims to fill a significant gap in the existing body of knowledge on contemporary German and European post-1945 history. The project also unveils a multitude of reactions from Jewish and Zionist players in response to the East German political approach towards its own history, Jews, Zionism, and Israel. Importantly, this project introduces fresh perspectives on the concept of ""coming to terms with the past,"" particularly in light of the contemporary surge of right-wing populist trends in Germany and Europe.""
