user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Collective excitation in the ionization of atoms, in semiconductors and biological tissues' (COLLEXCIT).

assistant: **Concept**

Experimental determination of ionization and decay parameters of x-ray transitions, used in analytical applications, and basic physics research. Measurements are designed to establish the size of the many-body interactions in the excitation and decay processes. In this sub-field mainly single particle approaches have been used. The experimental data contradict basic conservation laws and arithmetic. Therefore, new methodological approaches are necessary. Improved detection techniques and quality assurance capable signal processors have emerged which allow new approaches to measuring these parameters. Energetic charged particles in x-ray and gamma ray solid state detectors lose their energy mainly by plasmon creation. Plasmons are collective excitations. Using a high energy electron spectrometer we will determine the plasmon creation probability in the energy range of 200 eV to 10 keV by a high energy photoelectron spectrometer. We will develop a deconvolution method, to analyze the photoelectron spectra. We intend to study semiconductor x-ray and gamma ray detectors’ response function as a function of the band gap and plasmon energy. We plan to develop a new signal processing approach based on the obtained information. We will study various surface modification of detectors, to reduce the surface plasmon creation probability. Collective excitations are also important in biological tissues. Many radioactive materials are used in medical imaging. Delocalized plasmons excited in biological tissue by energetic particles could be transferred to nearby molecules like DNA causing radiation damage. As a pilot study, we want to study what type of plasmon excitation is possible, measure the plasmon energy and the plasmon creation efficiency.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Development of a combined sea anchor and connector to be deployed by helicopter in order to prevent sea vessels in drift from grounding or colliding with offshore installations' (SHIPARRESTOR) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The European Union is the largest maritime power in the world with 40% of its fleet. Almost 90% of its external and over 40% of its internal trade is transported by sea. The natural wealth of the ocean has an intrinsic value for the biodiversity of Europe as well as for the support of key functions for adjacent regions and populations. Oil spills have a catastrophic impact on the marine environment and incurs enormous costs and suffering in the aftermath. A large part of the oil spillage comes from drifting ships running aground or breaking up.   The project idea is to develop a novel and salvage tool by innovatively combining a light-weight sea anchor and connector. The system will be deployed by helicopter onto a ship in distress, thus reducing drift velocity and through that the chance of grounding or other potential disasters by providing extra time for Emergency Towing Vessels (ETVs). Further functionality is added by including a towing connection to the sea anchor, thereby providing arriving ETV with an easy-to-access pick-up buoy, which relieves them of the hazardous task of connecting to the ship in distress. A major issue in the project is lowering the weight of the system to enable helicopter transport. This calls for studies in material science and will influence the dimensioning of the anchor, which will be based on simulations of multi-body behaviour at sea under the influence of wind and waves. At the ship and tanker traffic increases there is a reduction in ETV preparedness, leading to a potentially unsafe situation. The ShipArrestor will aid in restoring and improving the oil spill prevention and salvage preparedness for ships up to 100,000 tonnes. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits of introducing the ShipArrestor, fisheries and tourist en

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Co-ordinated constellation of user defined satellites' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The overall objective of the COCONUDS proposal for a Concerted Action [CA] is to ascertain the practicality of a radically different low-cost, distributed network approach to satellite earth observation. New thinking from a user perspective, and new technological opportunities suggests that by bringing together European expertise in low-cost [srnall, mini and micro] satellite and ground station development in a co-operative venture, it should be possible to finance and develop a cost-effective, sustainable, and user-friendly constellation of earth observation satellites, to meet the many as yet unsatisfied needs of local decision makers for local environmental information. The CA comprises three primary objectives and these are reflected in the content of the proposed programme tasks: 1. to examine the extent that local decision making needs for environmental data and information could be satisfied, with an estimate of the value of the better decisions that might be so obtained; 2. to assess technical feasibility [pre-feasibility study of technical opportunities and constraints] of meeting these needs through a suitable constellation of microsats; and, 3. to assess economic viability through an exploration of pertinent financial, political, social and institutional issues. How best to approach the transition process towards a more useful and sustainable future EO network is the subject of this concerted action. It would appear that Europe has: - sufficient need to assist the transition in terms of requirements for improved local management of many different local environments, all changing under conditions of relatively high population pressure; - sufficient microsat and ground segment technological capacity distributed through the region to carry the process forward; -

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'BioHybrid Optoelectronic Materials'.

assistant: **Objectives**

BiHyOMat is an ambitious research project at the interface of chemistry, physics and biology, with the aim to produce high-end optoelectronic materials. To this end, the project will take advantage of the co-crystallization of toroidal proteins and photosensitizers into monodimensional self-assemblies by means of electrostatic interactions, being a field where the hosting group is playing a pioneer role. By means of pH, temperature and electrolyte control, different proteins and dyes will be conjugated to a wide variety of materials with different stabilities and optical properties. Peroxiredoxin, an ubiquitous protein with a wide selection of isoelectric points has been selected as protein scaffold of the columnar stacks, along with a selection of charged phthalocyanines and porphyrins playing a dual role as molecular glue and photoactive moieties. The latter group will be obtained through collaborations, commercial sources or synthesized by the candidate.The resulting materials will be thoroughly characterized by a broad selection of techniques, including cryo-TEM, SAXS and time-resolved spectroscopy. Additionally, the spectroscopic properties arising from the anisotropic array of dyes into this well-defined structure will be thoroughly explored. Furthermore, the resulting tubular arrays will be conjugated supramolecularly with magnetic nanoparticles, endowing them with magnetoresponsive behaviour. Finally, the tubular aggregates, presenting a well-defined inner pore, will be employed as nanoreactors to synthesize finely tuned rod-like nanoparticles, taking advantage of the hollow structure of the stacks.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'SpikeZip: a retinomorphic encoding method for low-latency and loss-less data compression and telemetry of large-scale in-vivo neural recordings' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

In-vivo neural recording and transmission of a vast number of neurons is essential in comprehending the brain and nervous system. However, the core challenge in the field of high-channel-count in-vivo neural recording is the limitation in transferring data posed by the bandwidth and energy consumption, which currently lacks a viable telemetry solution to effectively address this challenge. This PoC project introduces a novel retinomorphic encoding method, SpikeZip, which offers several advantages over existing approaches for processing neural data, such as low information loss, minimal latency, and reduced hardware overhead. The technical advances demonstrated in this project will have significant impacts on various applications areas, such as neuroscience research with free-moving small animals, low-latency closed-loop neuromodulation, implantable brain-computer interfaces, and cognitive prosthetics. The proposed method has the potential to revolutionize the way we record and process neural data, enabling us to better understand the brain's cognitive functions and develop new therapies for various neurological disorders. This PoC project will develop a robust demonstration system and rigorously validate it in small animal studies, with settings that can be effectively applied and translated across a diverse range of neuroscience and neurotherapeutic applications. SpikeZip will develop a go-to-market strategy that highlights the technology's unique features and benefits, with a focus on IP and licensing opportunities, and engaging with industry partners to identify promising commercialization opportunities.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Deciphering the radiobiology of targeted radionuclide therapy: from subcellular to intra-tumoural analyses' (RADIOBIO) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Background and unmet needTargeted radionuclide therapies (TRTs) are a promising modality to treat patients with metastasized cancer. TRTs function via systemic administration of radiolabelled molecules (α- and β-particle emitters) designed to target tumour cells. However, the radiobiological effects of TRTs are poorly understood, and rational design of new modalities based on underlying cellular mechanisms is therefore not possible, resulting in suboptimal treatment strategies. Since most patients with advanced cancer cannot be cured at the moment, it is therefore my ultimate goal to improve TRT.Aim My ERC project aims to identify and quantitate specific radiobiological mechanisms of TRT-radiation effects in vitro and in vivo. ObjectivesThis unique multidisciplinary project will yield critical information on subcellular and intra-tumoural radiopharmaceutical uptake kinetics, DNA damage response kinetics and dose response simulations, and will profoundly increase our knowledge on TRT to push the field forward. I will determine cellular dosimetric parameters for α-TRT and β-TRT, determine effects of subcellular and intra-tumoural localizations of TRT on DNA damage induction and survival, image in vivo TRT efficacy and define effects of treatment heterogeneity to ultimately perform realistic dosimetric simulations in 2D and 3D cancer models. Besides using previously developed techniques, we will develop an innovative new imaging setup for high resolution imaging of TRT by intravital confocal microscopy to image real-time cellular processes of anti-cancer therapies in a living organism.Expected OutcomesOutcome of my project will not only increase our fundamental knowledge on TRT and yield a novel imaging modality, but additionally has high potential to contribute to improve

user: Explain how 'Philodemus' History of the Academy: Groundwork for a New Innovative Critical Edition' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Philodemus’ 'History of the Academy' (PHerc. 1021/1691 and PHerc. 164) contains much otherwise lost information about the development of the Academic school and its most prominent figures, from Plato to Antiochus and Aristus of Ascalon. Now, the research of the last eighteen years has shown that the last edition of this book may considerably be improved upon. This, contrasted with the current availability of pioneering techniques for reading papyri and the possibility of developing completely new and more promising ones, makes it a desideratum of the research to produce a new modern critical edition of this unique book. The primary goal of this project is to lay the foundation for precisely this new edition, paving the way for a new method of editing Herculanean texts. To achieve this goal, the supervisor will directly coach the applicant and work together with him on a daily basis in order to transfer him all the specific papyrological, palaeographical and philological competences necessary for its immediate preparation. In particular, a) they will reconstruct the original anatomy of the roll; b) they will read and transcribe the original text; c) they will produce a reliable and updated critical text through a new editorial system; d) they will produce an open-access electronic edition of it through a dedicated open-source digital platform, engaging the scholarly community in an on-going and on-line collaborative review in progress of it; e) they will submit significant portions of the new critical text, with introduction and commentary, to top-ranking peer-reviewed scientific journals.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'From linear via brush to hyperbranched polymers' (2002-2006), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

In this project the new hyper-branched polymers, polymer brushes will be prepared. Polymer brushes which have the same number of side chains as degree of polymerisation of the main chain are architecturally interesting for both experimental and theoretical chemists because of the possibility to form extended chain conformations, based on the intra-molecular excluded-volume interactions between side chains densely grafted to the backbone. Possible practical usage of highly branched brush polymers with chromophore containing side chains is in the solar collectors. The side chains collect the solar energy with efficiency and concentrate it to the chromophore on the polymer backbone-end chain group – antenna effect.Another potential application is the realization of soft nanomachines. Linear flexible chains with densely grafted long side chains exhibit the shape of cylindrical brushes provided that the main chain is much longer than the side chains. With increasing repulsion of the side chains the main chain is stretched until the entropic restoring force of the main chain balances the repulsive forces originating form the interactions between the side chains. Equilibrium between both forces can be moved by external impulse. In case of our prepared labelled polymers this external impulse can be absorption and emission of light of presented chromophores. Techniques switch on/off can produce a mechanical action of soft nanomachines.The macromolecules will be prepared by ATRP. This type of polymerisation allows using functionalised monomers and introduction of reactive end-groups in polymer segments. It provides also narrow molar mass distribution necessary for preparation of polymers with well-defined morphology.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Liquefaction around marine structures (LIMAS)' (LIMAS) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The present proposal is concerned with marine structures used to protect coastal communities against flooding and erosion. The objectives are:(1) To investigate potential risks for failure of these structures due to liquefaction; and(2) To prepare and disseminate practical guidelines (guidance for design and maintenance), to be developed from the proposed research. The work is organized in three tasks, consisting of twelve work packages. The first task focuses on the liquefaction processes around structures; the second task addresses the issue of the interaction between the structure, liquefaction and scour; and the third task is concerned other related processes, and implementation. The proposal contemplates the integration of the results of the present project in the form of guidelines for design and maintenance with regard to liquefaction processes related to soil/structure foundation, and also taking into consideration all state-of-the-art knowledge.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Theory of Mantle, Core and Technological Materials' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

I propose to work full time on this ERC Advanced project to predict properties of Earth and technological materials using fundamental physics, spending half of my time at University College London, building a research group, and educating students and post-docs. I compute properties of minerals and melts to better understand them, and estimate properties when data are unavailable. The latter has been important in the Earth sciences, starting with my prediction of the elastic constants of silicate perovskite, the most common mineral in the Earth, before they were measured. This project will constrain properties of major problematic minerals, melts, and aqueous fluids crucial to modelling of the Earth, including equations of state, phase transitions, electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical diffusivity, and viscosity and rheology.  This project will concentrate on iron and other transition metal bearing Earth materials, for which conventional electronic structure methods are inadequate. Whereas properties of closed-shell atomic systems and simple met-als can now be computed to accuracy limited only by available computing time, open-shelled systems have been problematic. Standard methods give FeO as a metal, but it is an insulator. My recent work on FeO showing that it becomes metallic under lower mantle conditions is requiring reconsideration of many areas in geophysics, ranging from heat flow from the core to the mantle, and fluctuations in the length of the day. We will apply dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) within an accurate framework and ground state Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC DMC) to compute properties of iron-bearing minerals and melts and their impact on the Earth’s behaviour. We will simulate C-H-O fluids to understand slab dewatering and mantle fluids. We w
