user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Insect Pathogens as Endophytes – New Tools for Pest Control?' (ENDOPEST) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Plants harbor fungi asymptomatically within their tissues, called endophytes, which may protect the host plant against herbivores. The fungus Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogen infecting insects, but it has recently also been demonstrated to grow as an endophyte within several plants. In this project I will evaluate the potential of the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana as an endophyte for biological plant protection against pests using wheat as a model host. In addition to effects on insect pests, I will for the first time study effects of endophytic B. bassiana on vertebrate pests, and I will establish whether pests favor or avoid infected plants over endophyte-free plants in preference tests. The project will initially establish methods for inoculation of plants with B. bassiana, validation of successful infections using advanced molecular methods followed by behavioral and physiological animal experimentation, and chemical analyses to separate and identify any volatile compounds emitted from the infected plants. This project is unique and highly inter-disciplinary with an unconventional combination of the disciplines of plant ecology, insect pathology and biological control implementing methods from agronomy, ecology, physiology, chemical ecology, and molecular biology. The knowledge obtained through this project will significantly contribute to the European scientific community within biological pest control and increase awareness of the utilization of endophytic fungi for crop protection. This project will likely become the baseline for subsequent studies in other agroecosystems and could pave the way for the effective deployment of entomopathogenic fungi as endophytes for biological pest control in important agricultural crops.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Transition-metal / lanthanide dyads for two-photon cellular imaging' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposed project is to use the combination of d-block and f-block units in the same dinuclear complex for parallel two-component luminescent imaging of different species in cells.  This will rely on the unprecedented combination of two-photon excitation of a d-block luminophore (Pt- or Ir-based) having a long-lived excited state, followed by partial d-f energy-transfer to sensitise the lanthanide ion.  This will generate two-component luminescence (blue, from the Ir/Pt unit; green or red, from the Tb or Eu unit, respectively) in which the two luminescence components have lifetimes that differ by three orders of magnitude (microsecond for d-block luminescence; millisecond for lanthanide luminescence).  These different emission components can be selected at the detection stage using time gating such that purely one or the other, or a desired combination of both, can be detected in a given time window.In addition to providing two luminescence outputs with different colours and lifetimes, each luminescence component is independently sensitive to different species in cells and can therefore be used for imaging.  The lifetime of Pt or Ir-based emission, from an 3MLCT excited state, is sensitive to quenchers such as dioxygen and variations in the luminescence lifetime in different parts of a cell can be used to visualise this.  In contrast the relative intensity of Eu-based emission bands varies with the concentration of chelating anions such as citrate and hydrogen carbonate, allowing ratiometric intensity-based sensing of these species.  Thus these d/f complexes will for the first time allow two different species to be imaged in real time using a single molecule under two-photon excitation conditions, which would constitute a major advance in the field with clear potenti

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Animals in the Philosophy of the Islamic World', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Are animals conscious? Can they think or feel emotions? What makes them different from humans on the one hand and plants on the other? And how should we treat them?This project will bring to light a rich body of texts written in the Islamic world, which address just such questions about the value and nature of animals. Contrary to common assumptions, such questions were taken seriously in pre-modern thought. Scholars have explored ancient Greek and Indian discussions of animals, but little attention has been paid to the contribution of Islamic culture, which produced e.g. philosophical and scientific works on animals, moralizing fables featuring animal characters, and treatises on veterinary medicine and on the types and uses of animals. We will uncover the changing conceptions of animals revealed in such works, taking an innovative approach which explores the interaction between descriptive and normative accounts of animals. We seek to understand, for instance, how developments in ideas about animal souls impacted ideas about the ethical treatment of animals. We will also investigate the historical genesis of this corpus of texts on animals, by exploring the influence of three literary traditions: Aristotelian zoology, medicine, and the founding religious texts of Islam. An ideal host environment, along with the PI’s expertise in Greek-Arabic cultural transmission and prior work on the interaction between philosophy, medicine, and theology, provide an ideal opportunity to explore the shift in attitudes towards animals that grew out of these three traditions.The impact of the project will be three-fold. It will (1) open up the philosophy of animals as a hitherto neglected field within Islamic studies; (2) provide a generalizable model of research on the interplay betwee

user: Explain how 'Power converters for flywheel energy storage systems' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Objectives This project addresses the requirement for short term energy storage with rapid charge/discharge cycling, typical of operation with renewable energy systems such as wind and wave. Previous work indicates that flywheel kinetic energy storage is a suitable technology for power smoothing in renewable energy systems, as well as in many industrial and transportation applications. The overall objective is to develop power converters and controllers for flywheel energy storage systems, to a level where they could be incorporated in demonstration renewable energy systems. Two drives will be developed; (i) a power electronic drive, by CEGELEC and (ii) a mechanical continuously variable transmission (CVT) drive, by P.I.V.; together with associated sensors; and controllers developed by University of Leicester and RAL. The drives will be integrated into flywheel energy storage systems and application tested at the RAL Wind Test Site. Technical Approach The effort will concentrate on the following main tasks : 1) Definition of the requirements for energy storage systems used for smoothing power fluctuations from renewable energy sources. 2) Development of power converter concepts for use in flywheel energy storage systems. Work on the drives and associated controllers will aim to provide systems with fast, precise torque and frequency control. 3) Prototype units of the two drives will be designed and constructed, and tests will be conducted to identify the key performance parameters. 4) The drives will be integrated with flywheels and electrical machines at the RAL Wind Test Site; (i) the mechanical CVT and controller, with a flywheel and synchronous motor/generator, and (ii) the power electronic drive and controller, with a flywheel and induction motor/generator. 5) The

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Costal sands as biocatalytical filters'.

assistant: **Concept**

COSA improves sustainable use of coastal sandy sea floors by1) quantifying filtration and2) biogeochemical processes in coastal sands3) developing a model with predictive capabilities4)exchange of knowledge and technologies5)direct implementation of the results in coastal management concepts and6) increasing awareness of public and policy makers. Although sands cover ca 70% of the shelf and are important resources with high economical value, their role in the coastal cycles of matter has not been assessed, compromising proper management. COSA uses state of the art physical, biological and geochemical techniques and mathematical modelling to quantify the biocatalytical function of the sands. COSA end-user participants, two environmental agencies, implement the scientific conclusions into their coastal management concepts, and together with the scientists and an exploitation consultant company ensure dissemination to public and policy makers.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Diffuse Baryons in Space'.

assistant: **Concept**

This proposal aims to significantly enhance our knowledge of diffuse gas in the universe and its association with galaxies. Better understanding of the properties and physical state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) will not only shed light on processes related to galaxy formation and evolution, but will also provide a more complete census of baryons in the universe with implications for the missing baryons problem in cosmology. In addition, studying the interface between galaxies and the IGM, and the mechanisms for the dispersal of metal-rich gas and dust on large scales, may turn out to be crucial for high precision cosmology. One of the most useful ways to probe gaseous processes on both galactic and large IGM scales is through the study of quasar absorption line systems. Here I propose a combined theoretical and observational approach to investigate those systems, having in mind the new observational capabilities provided by large surveys and the recent revival of UV spectroscopy. More specifically, archival data will be used and augmented by follow-up observations (with HST and ground telescopes) to study physically motivated aspects of the IGM-galaxy interface. On the theoretical side, new computational means will provide ever more realistic predictions whose quality can be matched with that of upcoming observations. In particular, a new code will be devised on a new type of hardware, which will simulate the relevant gaseous processes, and whose predictions will be cast in a form suitable for comparison with absorption spectra. This will provide more quantitative tests for theoretical models that exploit the full potential of upcoming data products. This synergistic approach will shed light on long-standing questions pertaining to the physics of the IGM, the role

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Rethinking Global Supply Chains: measurement, impact and policy' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The changing nature of global supply chains requires a rethinking of GSCs in the design of appropriate policy responses and in taking into account their employment and social impacts. The overall goal of RETHINK-GSC is to enhance our understanding of the impact of GSCs using new measures that can quantify the role knowledge flows, and more generally services inputs, and thus acknowledge the increasing importance of intangibles in global production. The project provides new and innovative methodologies for assessing the development of global supply chains, which generates new knowledge on ongoing and expected changes in GSCs due to shocks. The research, both theoretical and empirical, will be conducted mainly at the level of the firm – the unit that ultimately decides on the organisation of international production. Using the RETHINK-GSC innovative measures allows the projects’ researchers and future scholars (i) to investigate the interaction between tangible and intangible GSCs to evaluate the changing nature of global supply chains, (ii) to provide novel ways of analysing the impact of GSCs on social, economic and environmental outcomes in European countries and (iii) to evaluate the resilience of GSCs to exogenous shocks. Furthermore, the project elaborates policy scenarios for expected future GSC developments. This new evidence contributes to enhancing policy developments related to ensuring level playing fields in trade relations and ensuring security of strategic supplies. Throughout the project stages, researchers will collaborate closely with an Advisory Board consisting of a group of stakeholder experts from national governments, business associations, social partners and international organizations. Finally, and important to the project's continuing impact, th

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Injectable nanoelectrodes for wireless and minimally invasive neural stimulation' (NANeurO).

assistant: **Concept**

Neural devices used in the brain and spinal cord have yielded medical breakthroughs to improve the lives of people with spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, and hearing loss. However, current neural devices are large, complex, and invasive, and are therefore used by only a fraction of people who could benefit from them. Instead, I want to make neural devices that are nanoscale, injectable, and wireless. By lowering invasiveness and implantation risk, this technology could address the unmet medical needs of more people with neurological impairments. The work proposed herein is to develop a minimally invasive nanoelectrode system capable of wireless, spatially selective, and multiplexed neural stimulation. I have previously developed nanoelectrodes that directly stimulated (i.e. with no genetic/biochemical neuron modification) the deep brain of mice as a proof-of-concept. This was possible because, unlike other wireless neural technologies, device powering was nonresonant, and thus independent of size. In my proposed research I will now develop optimized nanoelectrodes, and I will approach this by developing a toolbox of nanomaterials to study and learn from. In particular, I will look at how nanoelectrode size and shape affects signal/response and neurostimulation. This approach will generate new, enabling technologies, such as the ability to individually stimulate some particles while ignoring others, for multiplexed stimulation control. While the field of nanoscale and wireless neuroelectrodes is exceptionally small, new, and high risk, the proposed work could one day enable minimally invasive, wireless neural modulation.
