user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Mosquito control technology by non-toxic methods'.

assistant: **Objectives**

There exists a need for an efficient method of controlling mosquito populations using environmentally sound techniques to inhibit the return of such a disease to Europe. This project aims to reduce the incidence of malaria and other diseases in humans and animals by the control of mosquito populations. It also aims to develop technique to predict the migration of mosquito populations relating to climate change and potential risk areas for malaria. Methods exist both for the prevention and cure of malaria, however these techniques are outdated and no longer provide an effective solution to the problems of this disease .The project is concerned with the proofing and development of non-toxic biodegradable surfactant materials for use in the control of mosquito popluations.Initial feasibility studies have shown that this approach is potentially more effective than conventional techniques and avoids the environmental pollution aspects associated with this type of control .

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Unveiling the Hidden: A Search for Light Dark Matter with CCDs' (DAMIC-M).

assistant: **Innovation**

Dark matter (DM) is a ubiquitous yet invisible presence in our universe. It dictated how galaxies formed in the first place, and now moves stars around them at puzzling speeds. The DM mass in the universe is known to be five times that of ordinary matter; yet its true nature remains elusive. Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), relics from the early universe, are a compelling explanation chased by sensitive experiments in deep underground laboratories. However, searches for heavy WIMPs (≈100 times the proton mass), the most theoretically natural candidates, have been so far unsuccessful. Nor has evidence for such heavy particles yet been found at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Alternative scenarios are now under scrutiny, such as the existence of a hidden sector of lighter DM particles that interact, differently than WIMPs, also with electrons. DAMIC-M (Dark Matter In CCDs at Modane) will search beyond the heavy WIMP paradigm by detecting nuclear recoils and electrons induced by light DM in charge-coupled devices (CCDs). The 0.5 kg detector will be installed at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane, France. In this novel and unconventional use of CCDs, which are commonly employed for digital imaging in astronomical telescopes, the ionization charge will be detected in the most massive CCDs ever built with exquisite spatial resolution (15 μm x 15 μm pixel). The crucial innovation in these devices is the non-destructive, repetitive measurement of the pixel charge, which results in the high-resolution detection of a single electron and unprecedented sensitivity to light DM (≈ eV energies are enough to free an electron in silicon). By counting individual charges in a detector with extremely low leakage current – a combination unmatched by any other DM experiment –

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'The influence of Earth-surface processes on solid-Earth, ice-sheet, and sea-level interactions for Scandinavian Ice-Sheet collapse' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

One of the grand challenges for society in the future will be to cope with the consequences of a changing climate and resulting changes in global sea level. Yet, predictions of past and future scenarios are associated with significant uncertainties, as we do not currently understand all processes that influence ice-sheet variability and thereby global ice volume. One key shortcoming relates to Earth-surface processes. Fjord formation by selective glacial erosion has the potential to elevate surrounding regions significantly by erosional unloading (~1 km in Greenland). However, the consequences for ice-sheet dynamics and global sea level have never been explored. My approach is to combine state-of-the-art numerical modelling efforts from the two disciplines of sea-level research and glacial geomorphology with empirical data analysis, in order to investigate the influence of such processes on the solid Earth, ice sheets, and sea level. I will apply this novel modelling scheme to study the former Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS), where remarkable empirical constraints exist on glacial isostatic rebound, past ice sheet extent, and deposited sediment volumes. By investigating a former ice sheet, I will improve our understanding of processes that are highly relevant for the future evolution of existing ice sheets. This will improve the scientific basis for decision makers to shape well-founded policies for optimal adaptation to future sea-level changes. While acquiring new expertise in glacial geology and sedimentology, I will i) constrain solid-Earth deformation and global sea-level changes due to Quaternary erosion and deposition in the Scandinavian region, ii) assess the influence of long-term glacial erosion for SIS dynamics, ice volume, and sea-level contributions, and iii)

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Non-classical interacting random walks' (NCIRW).

assistant: **Innovation**

The proposed project deals with various topics in the area of random walks (RWs) which interact with their own history and/or a possibly non-homogeneous, random environment. Such models arise from physics and other natural sciences as simplified models of complex phenomena and have recently attracted a lot of attention. They include: (a) Self-interacting RWs, i.e. RWs with memory, for example excited RWs, self-avoiding RWs, and RWs arising from two dimensional statistical mechanics models like Lorentz lattice gas models. (b) RWs in random media, for example RWs in random environments (RWRE), RWs on percolation clusters, and RWs in random potentials. Some of the problems to be considered concern recurrence and transience properties, laws of large numbers, ballistic versus sub-ballistic behavior, zero-one laws, scaling properties, other asymptotic properties, the relation between quenched and annealed behavior and monotonicity properties.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Shifting perspectives on environmental change: A History of the Earth Sciences in Central Asia and the Caucasus, 1880-2000' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project investigates the history of Earth sciences in the mountainous regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus, addressing the underexplored contributions of non-Western perspectives to environmental change discourses. By focusing on geologists, glaciologists, and seismologists in these areas during the Tsarist and Soviet periods, the research aims to shift attention from dominant Euro-American narratives to the unique experiences and contributions of local scientists.The study explores four main areas: 1) the management of science in the peripheries; 2) the production of localized knowledge; 3) the environmental and social impacts of resource extraction; and 4) the cultural representation of Earth scientists within Soviet ideology. This multidisciplinary approach integrates environmental history, the history of science, and post-colonial studies, challenging the notion of a uniform Soviet scientific enterprise and highlighting the diversity of environmental knowledge shaped by local contexts.The research employs a combination of archival research, oral history, and qualitative analysis, with four research clusters focused on uranium mining, expeditions in the Pamirs, glacier studies, and seismological research in the Caucasus. The project will produce two PhD dissertations and two habilitation theses. By situating Central Asian and Caucasian scientific contributions within global environmental debates, the project aims to enrich our understanding of human-environment interactions in the context of the Anthropocene.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Probing Stakeholder Engagement: The Role of International Law in Active Conflicts (PROSE)' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

International law has often been criticised for its limited influence on state behaviour. However, recent conflicts, notably the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Gaza conflict, reveal a shift in how states and other actors engage with international legal norms. Rather than being sidelined by geopolitics, international adjudication is increasingly leveraged as a tool in high-stakes political conflicts. PROSE investigates this shift, focusing on how states and actors strategically use judicial processes at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ) to advance their objectives.Through a combination of socio-legal methods and legal analysis, PROSE aims to explore how legal submissions, judicial decisions, and stakeholder motivations influence international legal processes. By examining ICC and ICJ proceedings, particularly in the Ukraine and Gaza contexts, the project will uncover how actors use international law to shape outcomes during active conflicts. PROSE will also conduct interviews with key stakeholders to assess the broader implications of these legal engagements on international law’s evolution.The project has three main objectives: (1) to analyse how various actors—including states, international organisations, and NGOs—utilise international legal proceedings to shape arguments in conflicts; (2) to investigate the rationale behind the choice of legal strategies and venues; and (3) to evaluate the broader impact of these engagements on international law and its enforcement.Undertaking this research at UCPH, particularly at iCourts, will significantly benefit my academic development by integrating sociological and legal perspectives, positioning me to contribute to interdisciplinary studies of international law.

user: Explain how 'Non-Invasive Predictive Modelling of Amphibian and Pathogen Diversity' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The current global biodiversity crisis requires rapid, inexpensive and reliable methods of detecting the main threats to species survival: pathogens, habitat change, and loss of genetic diversity1. Equally crucial are solutions for stemming biodiversity loss: we lack vital models that determine how these threats interact, which would help prioritise conservation efforts. Recently, CRI-CG has discovered for one species of frog over a relatively small geographic area that eDNA extracted from water samples captures more genetic diversity than analyses using tissue samples (UNESCO-funded project ACQUAVIVA). The same eDNA can be used to detect amphibian pathogens. NIPMAP will apply this knowledge in an innovative way by: i) optimizing this eDNA approach to estimate mtDNA diversity in four amphibian taxa (two caudates, two anurans) and pathogen diversity (principal pathogens: Bd, Bsal, Rv) across the eastern Italian Alps; ii) using these data to inform individual-based and spatially explicit simulations of host movements and pathogen transmission37; iii) integrating parameters from i-ii with skin microbiota and other health indices, as well as iv) environmental variables at each sample site, to generate correlative models (e.g. GLMMs and SDMs) and potential distribution maps to direct conservation management decisions. We will also pilot two innovative eDNA protocols: one to measure nuclear DNA diversity (to measure current gene flow and dispersal rates) and one to understand microbiota function using metatranscriptomics. These interdisciplinary tools will be integrated into a workflow that will be applicable to animal taxa anywhere on the planet.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Molecular and functional characterization of the malaria parasite receptor on the vector an. Gambiae salivary glands' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The isolation of the malaria parasite receptor on the mosquito salivary glands, and further assessment of its molecular nature and adhesive characteristics, will give valuable knowledge for the development of strategies to block parasite transmission by the mosquito vector. An An. gambiae adult female salivary gland cDNA expression library will be constructed. The library will then be screened selectively for the plasmodium receptor cDNA by transient expression in COS cells which will be panned (screened) with immobilized hemolymph stage sporozoites. Alternatively, the screening will be done with anti salivary gland monoclonal antibodies, selected for their ability to block parasite invasion of the glands. The isolated clone will be molecularly characterized and its functional regions mapped, by in vitro and in vivo binding and blocking assays between parasite-receptor and parasite-salivary glands, involving recombinant nested deletions of the receptor and anti receptor antibodies. This project will apart from the knowledge on parasite invasion of mosquito salivary glands also generate a number of tools for the study of vector parasite interactions and vector biology, such as the salivary gland cDNA expression library, a battery of anti salivary gland monoclonal antibodies and standardized binding assays.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Tuning Topological Materials by hydrostatic Pressure and uniaxial Stress' (TopoPress) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The discovery of topological phases of matter has driven the attention of great part of the solid-state science community due to its high for future applications, led by the presence of unusual electronic properties, such as extreme large magnetoresistance and anomalous Hall effect. However, topological phases on Ce-based nonsymmorphic materials are rather unexplored. The nonsymmorphic crystalline structure may create band crossings, which are needed for the existence of non-trivial topological phases, while the presence of magnetic Ce ions gives rise to many complex effects, such as magnetism and the Kondo effect. These correlated phenomena result in a promising route to pin the band crossings of nonsymmorphic compounds close to the Fermi level, favoring non-trivial topological effects in transport properties, which may lead to the realization of new spintronic devices. This proposal aims to understand the interplay between strong electronic correlations and non-trivial topological phases in Ce-based compounds. To achieve that hydrostatic pressure and/or uniaxial stress will be used to tune the electronic bands, i.e. moving the band crossings towards the Fermi energy and/or modify the bandstructure, and the magnetic correlations in Ce-based nonsymmorphic compounds, such as CeAlGe and CeSbTe. By performing electrical transport experiments under applied pressure/stress and in magnetic fields, the evolution and interrelation between non-trivial topological phases and strong electronic correlations will be investigated. As part of the experimental work, a new technique will be developed, which combines micro-structured samples with Bridgman or diamond anvil cells. This method will enable the simultaneous realization of magnetoresistance and Hall measurements up to more tha

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'European component of gewex surface radiation budget (ESRB)' (ESRB), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The SRB (Surface Radiation Budget) is the key to understanding global climate change processes. The goal of the proposed project is to assess the new WCRP /GEWEX (Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment) SRB 1 degree global data (supplied by NASA Langley) using tested deterministic models developed at FORTH (recently applied to the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, published in JGR 1999) . In addition, validation of the European Surface Radiation Budget will be achieved using METEOSAT cloud data and NOAA/AVHRR surface property data (1 km, weekly, FUB) to compute the ESRB and then compare it with ground-based WCRP/BSRN (Baseline Surface Radiation Network, ETH) and other station data for Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. The European validation analysis will correct any GEWEX SRB deficiencies and provide a high quality 1-degree resolution SRB for Europe.
