user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Resonant excitation of  phonons in semiconductor nanostructures exploiting open optical cavity' (REPOC) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Phonons are vibrations of atoms in solids that play a significant role in material science and solid-state physics. High-frequency phonons have gained attention in the fields of quantum technology and nanophononics. Their small wavelengths make them compatible with quantum nano-devices and their frequencies can surpass modern computation speeds. This potential makes phonons useful for qubits, quantum memories, hybrid systems, and elements in quantum computing networks. Exploring phonons and their interactions with other excitations is important for advancements in solid-state physics and quantum technology.The project focuses on using a novel experimental method based on the optical open cavity to excite and detect coherent phonons in materials from the II-VI group of semiconductors. We plan to grow samples with an acoustic cavity enclosed in Distributed Bragg Reflectors, which support the cavity acoustic mode. By placing the sample inside the open optical cavity and adjusting its length, we can sweep the energy of the excitation photon, allowing comprehensive studies on the influence of photon energy on phonon generation efficiency. Additionally, we can achieve quasi-resonant excitation of phonons in the time domain by adjusting the length of the cavity in a way that the round-trip time of the laser pulse matches the frequency of the generated phonons, resonantly pumping the desired phonon frequency supported by the acoustic cavity. This experimental scheme will allow us to enhance the efficiency of phonon excitation by exploiting four resonances for coherent phonon generation: acoustic cavity resonance, optical cavity resonance, excitonic resonance, and in-phase (temporal) resonance excitation.As a result of the project we expect to provide a comprehensive study on th

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Advanced alumina to metal joining for high temperature performance components' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

This project aims at providing an advanced alumina (Al203) joining technology for the main following industrial applications: * Telecommunication, televisions, radio emitters, industrial and scientific equipments. In these domains, Thomson TTE is a worldwide leader in the manufacture and design of a wide range of electronic components such as magnetrons, klystrons, tetrodes, diacrodes and travelling wave guides. * Capacitive sensors to increase the safety (aim of Alfa Romeo Avio) and efficiency (aim of Ansaldo) of turbofan engines by measuring the clearance between the moving parts (blade tip to case) with a non contact method. Presently, these are not available worldwide, due to the lack of technologies for joining alumina to metal in ultra hot and corrosive environments. These sensors will be developed by Thermocoax. The industrial targets are defined as follows: Electronic Power Tube Manufacturing: Joining of a 200 mm in diameter alumina tube to a controlled expansion alloy. Joints must endure exposure at temperatures > 400 C for 20000 hrs. Capacitive Sensor Manufacturing: Joining of alumina tube to Pt, Pd or Ni base alloys. Joints must withstand an operational temperature of 1200 C in oxidising atmospheres for 1000 hrs. The sensors should survive 500 thermal cycles and have a resistivity better than 4kQ at 1200 C. To fulfil the manufacturing requirements of these Alumina Metal industrial components, the project will develop and demonstrate the effectiveness of new joining materials and processes and establish an engineering design methodology. The developed advanced components will allow European industries to maintain their leadership and share of their worldwide markets as well as the economic benefits (anticipated to be in excess of 100 MECUs totalled over 5 year

user: Draft an impact statement for 'The European Spallation Neutron Source (ESS)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The European Spallation neutron Source (ESS) will be the world’s most powerful source of neutrons. Its design parameters makes it the most cost-effective top tier source for 40 years or more. A genuine pan‑European facility, it will serve a user community of 5,000 users annually across many areas of science and technology. Neutron beams produced by reactors are inherently intensity-limited. The ESS R&D and design phase (>50 M€; all major European labs, >100 top scientists) has shown the feasibility of MW spallation sources. In line with the global neutron strategy endorsed by OECD ministers in 1999, the US has now commissioned its facility, based on an early ESS design, and Japan will follow suit in 2008. The initial long pulse configuration of ESS provides substantially higher power, maximum complementarity and the largest instrument innovation potential. Its technical layout guarantees a long-term top position. ESS will also offer new modes of operation and user support to maximally facilitate industry, in addition to university and research lab users. At present, two official bids for siting with a financial contribution in excess of 320M€ have been made by Spain (Bilbao) and Sweden (Lund). Hungary is expected to come forward with a similar bid soon. From the technical side the ESS is mature and detailed construction design work could start immediately after a positive decision has been taken. The cost issue (WP5) was very carefully assessed in the past and only needs final updating and inclusion of the decommissioning costs. Strategic, legal and governance issues have been investigated by the several possible sites. This information will be updated and collated (WPs 4,6,7). WP 8 will deal with Health, Safety and Environmental questions arising from possible differen

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Macroecological studies of long-term historical constraints on functional diversity and ecosystem functioning across continents' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Earth’s environment is ongoing massive changes with strong impacts on ecosystems and their services to human societies. It is thus crucial to improve understanding of ecosystem functioning and its dynamics under environmental change. I propose to do this by assessing the novel hypothesis that ecosystem functioning is subject to long-term constraints mediated by biodiversity effects and driven by past climate change and other historical factors. If supported, we will have to rethink ecosystem ecology, as traditionally ecosystem functioning is understood as the outcome of contemporary environmental drivers and their interplay with dominant species. I will employ an unconventional macroecological approach to ecosystem ecology to investigate this hypothesis for major organism groups and ecosystems across continents, modeling effects of historical factors such as past climate change. My specific objectives are to assess if and how (1) large-scale patterns in functional diversity of a key producer group, vascular plants, and (2) a key consumer group, mammals, are affected by historical factors; (3) if and how plant and mammal functional diversity are linked, and, if such links exist, how and to what extent they are shaped by historical factors; (4) if and how large-scale patterns in vegetation-related ecosystem functioning are shaped by historical factors; (5) if ecosystem functioning is linked to diversity of plants and mammals, and if such links exist, if they are shaped by historical factors; and finally (6) directly translate my findings into a novel framework for predicting spatiotemporal dynamics of ecosystem functioning that accounts for historical constraints. The project relies on extensive geospatial data now available on ecosystem functioning, species distributions

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Atomic scale coherent manipulation of the electron spin in semiconductors' (OneSPIN).

assistant: **Concept**

Currently, a great deal of experimental research is dedicated to implement qubits on a wide variety of physical systems. In the last decade researchers have observed optically-active point-defects in 2D materials which serve as single photon sources and present spin-dependent optical emission, making them promising spin-photon interfaces. In parallel, new local probe techniques have been developed to detect magnetic resonance on single atomic spins, and more recently to demonstrate controlled charging and positioning of point-centres in 2D semiconductors. OneSPIN lies at the junction of these very active fields. Inspired by the opportunity that these recent findings bring, I propose to coherently probe single electronic spins localized at point-centres in 2D semiconductors and to engineer their atomic environment. The ultimate goal of this proposal is the demonstration of long spin coherence times for quantum information applications. To achieve this ambitious goal, I will develop a novel approach based on a unique scanning tunnelling microscopy technique which allows for the engineering, excitation and optical detection of single spin resonance. This approach provides a solution to the current lack of tools capable of simultaneously recording the atomic and electronic structure of defects, their optoelectronic response, and the coherence properties of their spins. Using this tool, it will be possible to not only determine the role of the environment on spin coherence, but also to engineer it by deterministically moving localization centres over the surface, creating tailored ensembles of localized spin states. I will use 2D semiconductors which, being chemically stable and “all surface”, are systems which can naturally be addressed, manipulated and engineered using loc

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Linking perturbed maternal environment during periconceptional development, due to diabetes, obesity or assisted reproductive technologies, and altered health during ageing.', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Scientific evidence clearly indicates that ageing and health in adult life is programmed by genetic and epigenetic mechanisms early in life. Developmental plasticity in response to the environment, including nutrient availability, of mammalian embryos indicates the capacity for newly emerging embryonic and extraembryonic cell lineages to initiate compensatory responses which may attune nutrient delivery to the needs of the developing fetus. EpiHealth will focus on these early events in several relevant models(diabetes, obesity and assisted reproductive technologies (ART)),using human samples, stem cell lines, animal models and data mining/bioinformatics tools to decipher some of the most important pathways and to offer options for early intervention to avoid adverse health effects. Main goal of the project is to improve health of the human population by understanding the mechanisms and pathways in early development, with special emphasis on epigenetic changes and developmentally relevant metabolic signalling, which create biological variation and have a long term effect on the health of individuals across the lifespan. Specific goals include: i)Identification of the main genetic pathways affecting the health of the developing embryos in a diabetic or obese maternal environment; ii) Identification of the main genetic and metabolic pathways affected and epigenomic and imprinting perturbations from mouse and human ART resulting in altered health of the progeny; iii)Discovery of the key genes and pathways affecting epigenetic and imprinting sensitivity in early stages of development in order to create intervention tools against epigenetic mis-programming; iv)Linking for the first time by bioinformatics tools the longevity related pathways and those susceptible to early epig

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Innovative machine for surface finishing of wire-drawn products' (SURFWIRE) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Current hard wire rod applications are rising, demanding a higher mechanical strength, perfect straightening and improved surface finishing quality. Current machinery for improving rod surface finishing is a combination on several machines in series (straightening +grinding+ cutting+ tumbling) that work on soft wire (9-110 daN/mm2) thus do not reach demanding product requirements (160-220 daN/mm², surface finishing -Ra 0.2). Additionally, mentioned machines in series have a high energy consumption (186kW), high pollution & waste (oil, gas and water), limited safety, and high operation & maintenance (O&M) cost as they need a high number of operators. To overcome those limitations, Delta Composants, a French company with more than 35-years-experience team in tailor-made metallurgic solutions transforming wire & metal strips (e.g. mechanical/ electrical cutting, stamping, tumbling), has developed SurfWire, the first machine for surface finishing of hard wire rod to provide new hard rod products for demanding applications in a wide variety of industrial sectors, from medical to aerospace. SurfWire is a sustainable & efficient machine solution: compared to standard finishing processes in series, SurfWire saves 45% energy consumption, has lower O&M cost, reduced waste & emissions (80% less waste water); it is fully automatic and therefore safer. Surfwire machine adaptability & flexibility manufactures rod products for several applications (e.g. automobile injectors or furniture hinges) with unmatchable surface finishing quality (Ra 0.2), high mechanical strength (160-220 daN/mm²), perfectly straight pieces, and a competitive price of 45€/1000 pieces. SurfWire successful launch will be by 2020, boosting our revenues and gross profits to respectively €9.2 M and €4.8 M by the 5t

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Opportunities for and barriers to tourism led integrated rural development in rural regions of selected member states' (OPTOUR) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The focus of this research proposal is the determination of the opportunities for and barriers to advocating tourism as an agent of rural diversification anddeveloprnent in a range of EU countries and Accession states. It will determine the role, attitudes and perceptions of visitor groups, entrepreneurs and institutions to the development of rural tourism in two specified CEE states. A determination of the barriers experienced by entrepreneurs in four different EU countries combined with an analysis of the perceptions of a range of potential visitors will provide the basis of an in depth analysis of the current situation in the Co-partner countries and while informing the situation in member states will allow for the development of rural development strategy(s) for selected CEE rural locations.

user: Describe how 'Regulatory transcriptional networks orchestrating mouse pluripotent embryonic stem cells' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The lack of a quantitative framework around the dynamics of gene expression and its determinants represents a major hurdle for capturing transcription regulation into regulatory models. Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) provide an excellent cellular model to quantitatively define the principles of gene regulation at the biochemical and (epi)genetic level. In SysStemCell, I will focus on two distinct mouse pluripotent cell states. My recent studies have shown that the epigenome and transcriptome of ESCs maintained in serum-free medium complemented with two kinase inhibitors and LIF (‘2i ESC’) are distinct from classical ESCs cultured in the presence of serum and LIF (‘serum ESC’).  Importantly, the 2i ESCs reflect pre-implantation stage ICM cells whereas the widely studied serum cells reflect post-implantation ESCs. These two distinct pluripotent states are interconvertible in vitro, providing an unique and accessible model to explore the regulation of the pre- to post-implantation phase of early embryonic development. I will combine state-of-the-art proteomics and chromatin-based methods, including a novel in vivo UV femtosecond laser crosslinking approach, and in depths bioinformatics in an iterative manner to define the full compendium of transcription (co)factors (TF) and TF-modules that define the two cell states. The dynamics of long- and short-range interactions between these modules will be assessed and correlated with the epigenetic state and chromatin structure. Novel and existing factors will be assessed for their role in differentiation from 2i to serum and reverse programming using knockout and forced expression strategies. Collectively, my studies will provide an invaluable resource for the community and a deep insight in the mechanisms and general principles that

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'MOdelling and Data assimilation of the Isotopic Signature of carbon pools and fluxes in Terrestrial Ecosystems'.

assistant: **Concept**

Identifying the mechanisms that control the magnitude as well as the spatial and temporal distribution of the terrestrial carbon sink remains one of the key challenges in climate change research. Measurements of net fluxes of carbon dioxide between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere are currently performed in international networks. However, to be able to predict future responses of European ecosystems to a changing climate, and to manage carbon pools and carbon uptake of terrestrial ecosystems, we need to understand the processes occurring within ecosystems. Stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen provide those additional information about carbon cycling within terrestrial ecosystems and their compartments. The overarching objective of this project is to understand and to model the isotopic signature of ecosystem processes at the ecosystem scale, and to quantitatively partition pools and fluxes into their various components. The outgoing phase will be hosted by the University of California, Berkeley (U.S.A). I intend (1) to synthesize flux and isotope data available at the global scale to identify patterns and controls of isotopic processes in ecosystems, (2) to develop and validate an ecosystem model to simulate these processes in various ecosystems, (3) to partition carbon pools and fluxes into their components and to derive sampling strategies for further experimental research, and (4) to apply the model to various ecosystems within Europe to improve our knowledge about site specific pattern in isotopic processes. The returning phase will be hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry (Germany). This fellowship will enable me to gain expertise and relevant skills currently not available in Europe. In turn, I can provide this new knowledge to the pr
