user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Explaining Transnational Jihad - Patterns of Escalation and Containment' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

TRANSJIHAD aims at advancing our understanding of one of the greatest contemporary challenges on the international agenda for peace and security, namely the ability of transnational jihadist movements to tap into local conflicts, hence escalating violence. TRANSJIHAD specifically investigates the questions of how jihadist conflicts become transnational and under what circumstances they can be contained. The project also aims at developing an interdisciplinary analytical framework, which combines micro- and macro level approaches to jihadism, drawing from both Religious Studies, Security Studies and Peace & Conflict Studies. Methodologically, TRANSJIHAD dissolves the scientific dichotomy between inside- and outside-oriented approaches to the study of transnational jihadist conflicts, widening prevailing scientific understandings of transnationalization processes. The project uniquely combines i) a quantitative examination of transnationalization processes drawing from the Religion and Armed Conflicts (RELAC) dataset based at Uppsala University, ii) comparative case studies of the mechanisms of escalation and de-escalation of jihadist conflicts across Asia, the Middle East, the Arab Peninsula and Africa focusing on the movements of Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, the Taleban, and Boko Haram, iii) securitization analyses of the macro-level conflict structures that transnational jihadist movements tap into, and finally iv) sociotheological worldview analyses of potential changes in jihadist conflict imagery during transnationalization processes.With its focus on macro-level conflict structures, TRANSJIHAD also contributes to developing a new framework for thinking about containment, providing an alternative to both the micro-level countering discourses embraced by much of the radi

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'DEvelopment of a System of Indicators for a Resource efficient Europe (DESIRE)' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

DESIRE will develop and apply an optimal set of indicators to monitor European progress towards resource-efficiency. We propose a combination of time series of environmentally extended input output data (EE IO) and the DPSIR framework to construct the indicator set. Only this approach will use a single data set that allows for consistent construction of resource efficiency indicators capturing the EU, country, sector and product group level, and the production and consumption perspective including impacts outside the EU. The project willa)improve data availability, particularly by creating EE IO time series and now-casted data (WP5).b)improve calculation methods for indicators that currently still lack scientific robustness, most notably in the field of biodiversity/ecosystem services (WP7) and critical materials (WP6). We further will develop novel reference indicators for economic success (‘Beyound GDP and Value added’, WP8).c)explicitly address the problem of indicator proliferation and limits in available data that have a ‘statistical stamp’. Via scientific analysis we will select the smallest set of indicators giving mutually independent information, and show which shortcuts in (statistical) data inventory can be made without significant loss of quality (WP8)The project comprises further Interactive policy analysis, indicator concept development via ‘brokerage activities (WP2-4), Management (WP1), and Conclusions and implementation (WP10) including a hand over ofdata and indicators to the EU’s Group of Four of EEA, Eurostat, DG ENV and DG JRC.Our team includes 4 UN Resource Panel members (WI, AAU-SEC, NTNU and LU-CML) and founders of the material flow analysis field (e.g. SERI). We further include TNO (global leader in EE IO via projects like EXIOPOL and CREEA), FF

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Characterization and Active Control of Weyl Semimetals' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the past few years, a new topological phase of matter, the Weyl semimetals, has been discovered. In Weyl semimetals, the bulk band structure is characterized by pairs of Weyls cones with opposite chirality that are separated in momentum space, resembling graphene. Its non-trivial electronic structure leads to quantum anomalies and unique transport properties including an extremely high mobility, which offers not only a platform for testing relativistic theories but also a great potential for device applications. The combination of bulk-transport and topological protection currently inspires many researchers to seek novel applications of Weyl semimetals in the emerging areas of neuromorphic computing, quantum computing or reversible computing. However, the great promise of Weyl semimetals, or topological material in general, is yet to be unleashed through meaningful demonstrations of their potential in device applications.In this action, we will develop electrically-gated devices to actively control the transport properties of Weyl semimetals at IBM Research - Zurich. More precisely, we will build and test a Weyl semimetal valley filter based on a recent theoretical proposal. To do this, we will first perform extensive material characterizations and magneto-transport measurements on the candidate Weyl semimetal materials to verify sample quality and its influence on the transport properties. Afterward, we will develop the processing steps to fabricate Weyl semimetal field-effect devices with high gate control and allow incorporation of additional contact structures for valley polarization sensing. Being able to actively control the transport properties of Weyl semimetals is not only a crucial step for its application in information technology but also for probing new

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Achieving manufacturing competitiveness using cladistic classification' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Research objectives and content  The aim of this project is to apply a biological method of classification (cladistics) to study the change and evolulion of manufacturing systems. Cladistics is a classification method based on the hypothesis that there is an underlying mechanism (evolution) explaining diversity. This project will enable the verification of long-standing hypothesises about competitiveness and manufacturing change. It will also promote a more thorough understanding of the inner mechanics of change in manufacturing systems.  The University of Sheffield has been pioneering the application of scientific classification methods as used in biology to the the study of manufacturing systems. The candidate will conduct research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, which is highly ranked for its research activities. In addition, the candidate will benefit from existing links specific to this project with the Department of Plant and Animal Sciences, the Department of Mathematics, and the British Royal Classification Society.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Quantum dynamics and solvation effects in clusters and condensed phases' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content We are planning to investigate the dynamics of an Iodine molecule embedded in a cluster or in a low temperature rare gas matrix when excited with an ultrashort laser pulse. This system has been studied experimentally in great detail [1]. In particular, the advent of intense tailored laser pulses has spurred much interest in examining the nonlinear behaviour of molecular systems in intense laser fields and has opened the way to quantum control of intramolecular dynamics in a condensed phase environment [2]. Rigorous quantum treatment of the dynamics can only be done for small clusters. Approximate models have to be developped for larger systems and for the condensed phase. It is possible to study the short-time dynamics of the optically active molecule (the chromophore) by numerically solving the Schrodinger equation, but the coupling with the bath has to be modelled by a hybrid method combining classical and quantum pictures [3]. In the case of iodine, several competing processes are active in the region of the visible spectrum, namely vibrational relaxation, electronic predissociation and the associated cage effect which makes some molecules recombine in a different electronic state. Whether these processes are affected by the formation of transient van-der-Waals complexes or by the average fluctuating molecule-bath interaction, remains to be investigated theoretically very carefully. This investigation is the subject of this research proposal. [l] Y. Yan, R.M. Whitnell, K.R. Wilson and A. Zewail, Chem. Phys. Lett. 193, 402 (1992) [2] Femtosecond Chemistry, ed. by J. Manz and L.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Microcircuitry of the Drosophila visual system' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Neural networks process sensory inputs into outputs that guide behavioral responses. The computations that take place can be complex, suggesting intricate circuit architecture. While we are starting to unravel the circuit components of a specific neural computation, the extraction of visual motion cues, we realize that the circuits are more complex than anticipated. Here, we aim to reveal the full microcircuitry of behaviorally relevant motion-detecting pathways with complex physiological properties.   To understand the network implementation of a critical computation, we are studying motion detection in Drosophila. A hallmark is the extraction of direction-selective (DS) signals, which is achieved by spatiotemporal correlations of inputs. Neurons that are sufficient to set up DS signals have been identified, but are often not behaviorally necessary, suggesting redundant circuits at minimum. We have isolated a core visual pathway that is required for behavioral responses to motion cues, but displays physiological properties that are not in line with current models of motion detection. Recent data also show that DS neurons have complex receptive fields. Further, single neuronal inputs feed into both ON and OFF pathways, which later converge to control the behavioral output. What are the microcircuits that shape such receptive fields? And how do individual neurons, or individual synaptic connections contribute to one specific pathway and what is their specific computational role? We will dissect how complex receptive field properties and behavior are shaped by individual neurons. Further, we will develop a new tool to conditionally inactivate specific synaptic connection, Flp-TEV. This will allow to determine how individual synapses contribute to distinct downstream circu

user: Draft an impact statement for 'NanoEngineering of Model Catalysts Based on Supported, Size-selected Nanoclusters', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In order to design new or refined model nanocatalyst materials for more energy efficient and economical chemical processes, the proposed project incorporates three key areas of nanoscience: (i) Nanoscale materials engineering: the synthesis of stable arrays of supported, size-selected nanoclusters (ii) Advanced characterisation techniques: Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy, and (iii) Nanoscale process engineering: investigating the reactivity/selectivity and stability of the model nanocatalysts under realistic reaction conditions. The model nanocatalysts will be prepared using the state-of-the-art apparatus based on radio-frequency magnetron plasma sputtering source, which is coupled to a lateral Time-of-Flight mass filter for size-selecting the nanoclusters. The wafer dicing method will be employed, for the first time, to convert the planar nanocatalysts to a high surface area nanocatalyst powders. The three-dimensional atomic structures and the stability of the nanoclusters during reaction conditions will be investigated by a spherical aberration-corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (pre- and post-reaction analysis). Finally, the performance of the model nanocatalysts will be explored by conducting the liquid phase hydrogenation reactions over nanocluster powder samples. The relevance of the present project within the Marie Curie Framework is reflected in the knowledge transfer between the host expertise at University of Birmingham (i and ii) and the Fellowship candidate experience from the Technical University of Munich (i and iii). This will also bring together technical innovations developed across the European Universities. In addition, the intention of this project is to motivate industrial development toward the design of new nanocatalytic

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Hard coatings with lubricant dispersion' (HALU), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The present proposal aims at development of a new dual stage deposition process based on Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) and Plasma Assisted CVD (PACVD) techniques in order to produce hard coatings with a lubricant dispersion phase. The process is based on a two stage deposition equipment where the first stage produces clusters or nanoparticles of MoS2 by a gas phase reaction. The second stage produces a hard coating (TiN) by CVD or PACVD. The clusters produced by the first stage are injected in the CVD or PACVD chamber and are transported by thermophoresis (CVD case) and electrical field (PACVD). The nanoparticles deposit on the surface where the TiN film grows and get embedded in the film. The result is a hard coating with embedded nanoparticles impossible tO obtain by conventional deposition techniques. The two stage reactor is necessary because the conditions at which the nanoparticles are produced (high temperature, supersaturated gas flow) are very different from those necessary for producing the TiN film (low temperature, diluted gas phase). The economical interest of the process is that the TiN phase, which can be used in mechanical applications will have a lifetime strongly increased because of the presence of the lubricating phase. The TiN composite film can thus be used without lubricating additives which would otherwise be necessary. Experiments will be made on TiN but many other composition of coatings can be considered. The potential applications of these coatings are the following:  dry forming or machining of metals  mechanical applications where the wear of the parts necessitates lubrication  Coatings against fretting, fretting corrosion... By this new process, it will be possible to produce self lubricating coatings which will reduce or suppress the n

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Neuromodulation of episodic memory - how stress influences Time In MEmory and perception', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Recent European data shows that stress shortens life expectancy by 2.8 years. Critically, it also affects the way we sense and remember everyday life. TIME presents a novel approach to a fundamental question in neuroscience: how stress affects our memory and perception of experience over time? Previous research disregarded the role of specific neuromodulators, studied stress effects selectively for a certain memory stage and used isolated stimuli rather than complex events in naturalistic contexts. Moreover, stress effects on memory have never been linked to time perception during a stressful experience. TIME addresses these critical gaps with an innovative combination of functional magnetic resonance (fMRI), a pharmacological manipulation and a novel experimental paradigm in virtual reality (VR). The project aims at building the first comprehensive model of stress effects on memory of events and perception of time. First, we hypothesize that a stress hormone cortisol released across all memory stages (encoding, consolidation, retrieval) affects our ability to separate overlapping episodes and segment our experience into events (WP1,WP2). Second, we hypothesize that a higher sampling rate of sensory input may result in a distorted sense of time and influence subsequent temporal memory (WP3). Involved mechanisms will be measured and verified at the behavioural, physiological (WP1,WP2,WP3), neural (WP2) and perceptual (WP3) level. I will carry out the research at CISA, Geneva (outgoing phase, supervised by prof. Rimmele, prof. Vuilleumier) and SISSA, Trieste (return phase, supervised by prof. Bueti), with short visits at Columbia University, NYC (prof. Davachi). Together, these world-leading centers offer a unique environment to make the project realistically achievable b
