user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'BioBar: Biological barriers for a sustainable landfill design'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Waste management and final disposal cause severe environmental impacts. Even in modern landfills, installed engineered barriers worsen their hydraulic performance after 8 years of landfill operation, which can lead to leachate leakage and environmental pollution in the medium to long term. In addition, the use of clay as landfill barriers relies on a non-renewable resource and entails high economic and environmental costs when such a resource is not locally available. Therefore, it is necessary to develop barriers made of renewable and/or recycled sources, which not only promote leachate containment but also enhance its in-situ treatment and attenuation. This project will take advantage of the bacteria naturally occurring in leachate that grow and form biofilms by consuming the organic compounds. We will apply the biofilm-forming bacteria in a novel liner made of the rejected fraction of fine aggregates and plastic waste. Adopting such a bio-barrier between the liner and the drainage system could reduce both the leachate flow and the contaminants concentrations that actually reach the liner. This is because the natural clogging of the bio-barrier would reduce its permeability, and the physicochemical and biochemical processes would enhance their attenuation. In this regard, the proposed project will 1) develop bio-barriers for landfill design, combining the rejected fraction of fine aggregates, plastic waste and biofilm-forming bacteria, 2) verify the long-term performance of these new designs for representative conditions, and 3) develop guidance for real-world implementation to reduce barrier permeability and increase contaminant attenuation. The bio-barrier (BioBar) approach has not been quantitatively tested for landfill barrier design and merges innovative geochemi

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Contribution of beta-arrestin-dependent receptor signaling to the physiological regulation of the endocannabinoid system' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The endocannabinoid system is composed of endocannabinoids, such as anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), their metabolizing enzymes and cannabinoid receptors. To date, two cannabinoid receptors have been identified by molecular cloning, the CB1 and CB2 receptors. The endocannabinoid system has been implicated in a number of physiological functions, and pharmacological manipulation of this system is a promising therapeutic target in a large number of different diseases and conditions, including mood and movement disorders, obesity, neuropathic pain and cancer, etc. In neurons, release of endocannabinoids can be initiated by calcium signal or by stimulation of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Anandamide production may be regulated by a number of lipid modulating enzymes, whereas 2-AG is produced by diacylglycerol-lipases (DAGLs). Stimulation of AT1 angiotensin II receptor and other Gq-coupled-receptors leads to DAGL dependent production of endocannabinoids, but the exact mechanism of this response has not been elucidated. The mechanism of action of GPCRs involves both G-protein-dependent and -independent pathways. G-protein-independent pathways are mediated by beta-arrestin-dependent scaffolding and regulation of signaling complexes. Although the role of these proteins during AT1R signaling is well documented, their function in the G-protein independent signaling of CB1R is not known. The aim of the present project is to elucidate the role of beta-arrestin mediated signaling in the regulation of endocannabinoid production, and to elucidate the role of G-protein-independent signaling in CB1R function. The proposed project includes in vitro studies using molecular biology techniques and in vivo experiments using genetically altered mouse models to elucidate the

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Fundamental Limits of Sensing Systems'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project derives information-theoretic fundamental limits and tradeoffs of classical and quantum distributed sensing (detection and estimation) systems, which are key in the Industry 4.0, smart cities, environmental applications, autonomous vehicles, etc. Our limits will: 1) serve as benchmarks for practical designs; 2) characterize the inherent tradeoffs; and 3) provide engineering guidelines.  So far, a technique is missing that can derive the limits of modern distributed sensing systems with multiple decision centers, multiple objectives, and interactive and sequential behaviours. For the emerging  field of quantum sensing even the limits of simple distributed systems have not been derived.  With our recent converse proof technique (which already served to establish limits of detection, channel coding, and compression problems) we have a powerful tool for obtaining the desired strong or probability-of-error dependent converse proofs.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Elastocaloric COoling and HEAT-pumping' (E-CO-HEAT) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Decarbonization of the heating and cooling sector with renewables is a crucial step for the EU to achieve its energy and climate goals. Although heat pumps are considered renewable technology, they are all (as well as cooling and air-conditioning devices) based on relatively inefficient vapor-compression technology that still uses environmentally harmful refrigerants. The Kigali Amendment mandates phasing out high-global warming potential refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons, in the EU by 2036 and replacing them with eco-friendly natural refrigerants. However, natural refrigerants have their own limitations, including flammability, toxicity, high operating pressure, and lower efficiency in hot climates. Recently, elastocaloric technology has emerged as the most promising non-vapor-compression alternative. It is based on safe, environmentally benign solid-state refrigerants and may offer higher efficiency than vapor-compression.The ERC PoC E-CO-HEAT project evolved from the ERC StG SUPERCOOL project, in which we explored fundamental aspects of elastocaloric technology. Based on this research, we have developed a fatigue-resistant elastocaloric regenerative cooling and heating device with breakthrough performance and an efficient drive mechanism. This device serves as the foundation for the E-CO-HEAT project, with the main objective to elevate the readiness level of elastocaloric technology in various areas, including technical aspects, customer engagement, business strategy and IPR. After fine tuning the elastocaloric device, it will undergo industry-relevant testing to achieve Technology Readiness Level 5 and IP protection of the most innovative solutions. These achievements will form the basis for disseminating the results to our (future) potential industry partner

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Synthesis and Formulation of Nanoparticles for pinning in YBCO coated conductors'.

assistant: **Concept**

The main research objective is the formulation of new types of multimetaloxide nanocrystals for incorporation as artificial pinning centers in nanocomposite thin films processed using chemical solution deposition. Superconducting coated conductors are chosen as the proof of concept. Innovative chemical deposition methods and the incorporation of preformed and inert multimetaloxide nanocrystals as pinning centres into the superconducting nanocomposite thin film are the innovative aspects compared to ongoing research.  A successful realisation of the objectives of this EID proposal will need training of ESRs on different aspects ranging from chemical precursor design, stabilisation of nanocrystals in precursor solutions, continuous deposition of superconducting nanocomposite coatings and optimisation of the superconducting properties in alternating magnetic fields. The main objective of this programme is, in line with the EID scope, to enhance the career perspectives of early stage researchers (ESRs) by providing the unique opportunity to be exposed to research and training in both an academic as well as an industrial environment. This will be facilitated through the partnership between Ghent University  and the industrial partner Deutsche Nanoschicht GmbH, bringing together two widely respected research partners, active in the field of inorganic nanomaterials synthesis and coating development for improved superconducting wires for energy applications. The involved partner organisations entered the project for specific added value in terms of industrial scaled synthesis of nanocomposite precursors (hte GmbH: high troughput designs; BASF SE: new formulations and flow chemistry) and Univ. of Turku (physical characterisation).

user: Describe how 'From welfare to knowfare. a european approach to employment and gender mainstreaming in the knowledge based society.' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The aim of the project is to assess policy approaches to the Knowledge Based Society (KBS) in the European Employment Strategy (EES). The focus will be on the extent to which these policies impose a convergence around a European approach to the KBS and achieve the objective of employment and gender equality in Europe. The research question is whether the transition towards the KES requires a change or in what is assumed to be the responsibility and rights of the individual, enterprise and the implications of such a change for gender mainstreaming. Moreover, the usefulness of existing indicators used to monitor employment progress in Europe will be evaluated and new sets of indicators developed to capture the challenges of the KBS from a gender perspective. The project will produce a European approach to employment and gender mainstreaming in the KBS as well as policy options to tackle the challenges of the KBS in the EES.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Reliability study of fine-pitch area-array Pb-free solder joints for advanced electronic packaging effect of inter-metallic compounds' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Concept**

The demand for Pb-free solders in a green environment and the increasing requirements to miniaturize electronic goods are the two most critical considerations in the global electronics market. Such a two-fold critical requirement possesses a reliability t hreat in the selection of proper materials and processes as a state-of-the-art requirement of the electronics industries. Although many studies of Pb-free soldering have been performed recently, most of them are related to Surface Mount Technology(SMT) com ponents. In the case of SMT components, although a good joint reliability has been shown in most Pb-free solder joints, similar reliability is not expected in the area-array solder joints used for the Flip Chip(FC) and Ball Grid Array(BGA) packages. These solder joints, because of their tiny contact area and the limited volume of solder alloy, operate under more stressed conditions during mechanical/thermal shock loading. In particular, intermetallic compound (IMC) formation during soldering and subsequent aging (at the time of device operation) as well as higher tensile strength and lower elongation to failure of Pb-free solder than conventional Sn-Pb solder is likely to lead to easy crack initiation and propagation along the solder-IMC interface, which is a serious concern for electronic packaging scientists and engineers at this moment. The key objectives of the proposed project are as follows: a.To develop a finite element model capturing microstructural characteristics of area-array Pb-free solder joi nts where IMC volume is relatively higher. b.To establish a theoretical model to predict the reliability of a Pb-free solder joint. c.To understand the failure mechanisms of tiny Pb-free solder joints with the variation of the IMC characteristics.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Raising citizens awareness and appreciation of EU research on sustainable transport in the urban environment' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aim of the supporting action titled Raising citizens awareness and appreciation of EU research on sustainable transport in the urban environment", MOVE TOGETHER project, is to build an awareness raising exercise to let people become fully: 1conscious of the sustainability implications of transport in the urban context, 2 aware of what EU transport research is doing and how research results can help making urban transport more sustainable. The awareness raising and appreciation exercise will follow a participatory process, which includes activities at transnational as well as local level, involving stakeholders, researchers and politicians together with the general public. MOVE TOGETHER presents 3 main components: 1 Critical review and appreciation of EU research on sustainable urban transport with the help of a transnational panel of citizens. The establishment of a participatory process will make citizens and stakeholders produce together a Digest on EU research presenting the scientific facts in a language and format accessible to non-experts lay citizens. 2 The overall process will be tested with a local event in the city of Rome. A randomly selected panel of local citizens will be involved in a citizens and stakeholders conference process. They will assess the Digest produced at European level and relate it to the experiences, the EU research undertaken and the research needs of Rome This will complement the Digest with concrete commitments for the possible implementation of EU research achievements and best practices, elaborated by citizens and local stakeholders.3 Europe wide dissemination and replication of this systematic awareness raising concept and of the outcomes/lessons learned from the local event in Rome, by means of pilot exhibitions at major Europea

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Ultra-Short Pulse laser Resonators IN the Terahertz' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Ultra-short light pulses with large instantaneous intensities can probe light-matter interaction phenomena, capture snapshots of molecular dynamics and drive high-speed communications. In a semiconductor laser, mode-locking is the primary way to generate ultrafast signals. Despite the intriguing perspectives, operation at Terahertz (THz) frequencies is facing fundamental limitations: engineering ""ultrafast"" THz semiconductor lasers from scratch or finding an integrated technology to shorten THz light pulses are currently two demanding routes. SPRINT aims to innovatively combine the groundbreaking quantum cascade laser (QCL) technology with graphene, to develop a new generation of passive mode-locked THz photonic laser resonators, combined with unexplored electronic nanodetectors for ultrafast THz sensing and imaging.To achieve these ambitious objectives, the versatile quantum design of QCLs will be exploited to engineer the laser gain spectrum on purpose. Resonators of unusual symmetry and shape, like photonic quasi-crystals or random patterns, will be implemented, offering the flexibility to control and guide photons and the lithographic capability to embed miniaturized intra-cavity passive components to probe and modulate light. Graphene, owing to its gapless nature and ultrafast, gating-tunable carrier dynamic, will lead to a major breakthrough: integration in the THz QCL cavity will allow superbly manipulating its functionalities. Antenna-coupled quantum-dot nanowires will be also devised to sense and probe ultra-short THz pulses.The project will target radically new concepts and interdisciplinary approaches encompassing unconventional THz QCL micro-resonators, graphene and polaritonic THz saturable absorbers, non-linear ultra-low dimensional detection architectur

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'New microfluidic strategy for protein crystallisation'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Obtaining protein crystals suitable for X-rays scattering is requested to resolve protein functionalities, which is one of the most important goal of biological research. In this domain, microfluidics has recently proved be a powerful, rapid and efficient approach: by rapidly screening an important number of different conditions, and exploiting scale reduction, accelerates by orders of magnitude the determination of optimal grow conditions. This approach led to crytallise for the first time integrin.The aim of PROTEMICROFLU is to develop a new microfluidic approach to protein crystallisation. The system we propose is an array of evaporation microchambers, moulded on a microfluidic chip, filled by solutes of different concentration and exposed, through a membrane, to air fluxes driven through microchannels, placed at a second level.The system is made by using multi layer lithography, a technology well handled by the host laboratory. The agents will be concentrated by evaporation of the solvent through the membranes, achieving supersaturated states which eventually crystallize. In a second step, the system will be equipped by microvalves to facilitate fluid handling and favour integration and compactness.The main goal is to map the protein phase diagram and look for optimal crystallization conditions; owing to the flexibility and speed of the handling of the working fluids, it will be possible to interactively optimize crystal sizes and structures, along with understanding the whole kinetic process. Compared to existing microfluidic systems, the interactivity and improved control represent substantial progress.The study will first address standard proteins (lysozyme and g crystallin) and will aim at considering proteins unresolved by traditional techniques.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Promotion of innovation and technology potentials of SMEs through establishment of technology offices on regional level'.

assistant: **Concept**

The project partners have identified in their work with SMEs a number of issues that prevent faster development. In Central and Eastern European Countries it can be seen that the average added value in SMEs considerably lags behind the EU. The main reason for such situation is default of innovation and research activities in SMEs. The support network has difficulties in answering specific needs of SMEs in this field. Since the micro level of companies is too distant from the policy level the challenges and needs of SMEs are also not taken into account in preparation of policy documents. The main objective of our project is to offer SMEs in the field of innovation and research services that would correspond to their specific needs and would help with developm ent of high added-value activities and products. We have identified a network of Regional Technology Offices" as a possible instrument for achieving this objective. The Regional Technology Offices would employ specialist experts with technical background that would be in regular contacts with SMEs. These offices would also take initiative and identify potentially prosperous projects (pull strategy). We will implement an analysis of actual needs of companies. On this basis we will prepare strategy proposals and concepts for operational activities of Regional Technology Offices. The concepts should be flexible and adoptable to respond to changes in economic environment. An important part of our project will be promotion of communication. The Regional Technolo gy Offices will act as an intermediary between the micro and the national level. They will also promote better cooperation between SMEs and research institutions. This will on one hand solve concrete research issues of SMEs and will on the other hand invol ve res
