user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Pushing Boundaries in BPL Derandomization' (LBPL) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

We propose to study one of the most fundamental problems in computational complexity theory: the BPL vs. L problem. Specifically, we aim to construct improved pseudorandom generators (PRGs) and weighted PRGs—a notion introduced by the PI and coauthors (STOC 18, CCC 21). In recent years, weighted PRGs have gained significant attention and played a central role in numerous advancements. Notably, the PI and coauthors leveraged WPRG techniques to improve the 30-year-old Saks-Zhou algorithm for iterated matrix multiplication (STOC 23).Despite a flurry of progress in recent years, achieving breakthroughs on such fundamental problems will likely require fresh and innovative approaches. In this proposal, we present novel ideas drawing from spectral graph theory, computational methods, and combinatorial techniques. Some of these ideas build on  the PI's analysis of rotating expanders (STOC 23), and of the Zig-Zag and other graph products (FOCS 24, ITCS 25). These efforts are further supported by promising preliminary results.We also introduce a novel computational model, termed input catalytic machines, along with new PRG variants. These models hold the potential to shed new light on classical questions and the barriers that hinder progress. This adds a conceptual dimension to the proposal, increasing its likelihood of success. Furthermore, we propose to study key algorithmic problems, specifically focusing on their space complexity.While challenging, we are well-positioned to tackle these longstanding open problems. The PI has  made significant contributions, including introducing WPRGs, improving the Saks-Zhou algorithm, and achieving breakthroughs on foundational questions such as Ramsey graphs and tree code construction (STOC 16, STOC 18). Additionally, the PI's deep experti

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'New Modular Production System Architecture to Combine Flexibility a nd Productivity' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

More and more often the producer of metal components are faced with the challenge of achieving both high productivity and flexibility. There are different reasons that explain this trend such as: the increasing customisation of the products, the reduced life cycle of the products, the introduction of management concepts related with just in time, the stronger and stronger competition. The contemporary need of flexibility and productivity is not well addressed by available production systems which either tend to focus on productivity (transfer lines) or a flexibility (FMS). Therefore these systems do not give an adequate answer to a large and ever increasing group of producers of metal components. Previous analyses have shown that one of the key strength of the EC machine tool industry is the ability to deal with product customisation. In order to maintain this advantage and to increase at the same time efficiency, various research effort have been devoted to the definition of a modular architecture for machinc tools (CEDAM, MAREA, KERNEL, KERNEL II). By analysing together the problems of metal component producers and machine tool manufacturers and considering the previous research carried out inside the TRA2, it is evident that it is necessary to propose new solutions at system level. The aim of the project is therefore to start moving from the single workstation to the system trying, in doing so, to provide better answer to the dichotomy productivity versus flexibility. Since each w orkstation to operate the transformations for which it has been created needs a continuous exchange of materials energy and information with the rest of the system, the project will concentrate on the hardware and software solution to manage these flows. In particular the project will addre

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Piloting Automated Driving on European Roads' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The overall objective of the L3Pilot project is to test the viability of automated driving (AD) as a safe and efficient means of transportation, exploring and promoting new service concepts to provide inclusive mobility. This high-level objective is detailed as four major technical objectives: (i) create a standardised Europe-wide piloting environment for automated driving (ii) coordinate activities across the piloting community to acquire the required  data (iii) pilot, test, and evaluate automated driving functions and connected automation (iv) innovate and promote AD for wider awareness and market introduction. The European automotive sector must remain competitive in vehicle automation in the face of increasing competition from the US and Asia. Only by joining forces in pilot testing and evaluation of AD systems with real users will European industry meet the challenge coming from overseas. The project will focus on large-scale piloting of SAE Level 3 functions, with additional assessment of some Level 4 functions. The functionality of the systems used is exposed to variable conditions in 11 European countries, 100 vehicles and 1000 test drivers. The approach will be to adapt the FESTA methodology for testing automated driving needs. The tested functions cover a wide range from parking to overtaking, and urban intersection driving. Due to its large coverage of driving situations, L3Pilot is unique, and the first project which will demonstrate and test such a comprehensive menu of automated driving functions. The data collected will also be made available for third parties outside the consortium, for further use. The evaluation of the data will focus on technical, user acceptance, driving and travel behaviour, impact on traffic and society. The project promotion will

user: Describe how 'Rural public hospitals in change in transitional Asia: institutional influences on performance' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This project is the first systematic study of the impact on rural hospital performance of institutional arrangements associated with China and Cambodia's transition to a market economy. Hospital costs have risen sharply in China and service quality is variable. In both countries there are significant financial , barriers to access to care and the cost of major illness is an important cause of poverty. The performance of hospitals varies a great deal. This is partly due to issues of funding, but we hypothesise that ownership structures , mechanisms of governance and accountability, incentives and formal and informal behavioural norms are important. The project consists of detailed hospital case studies that explore the influence of these factors on objective measures of performance The aims are to contribute to the formulation of realistic strategies for reform of hospital management and government regulation.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'New excited state methods for overcoming challenges in sunlight conversion' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The dynamics of charges and atoms when electrons are excited to energy levels above the ground state underpins energy conversion in photosynthesis, photocatalysis and solar cell technologies. Modelling excited electronic states remains however a major challenge. While density functional theory (DFT) has been hugely successful in predicting ground state properties of systems with several atoms and electrons, excited state extensions based on time-dependent formulations often lack the required accuracy. I have pioneered alternative approaches where the excited state orbitals are variationally optimized by converging on saddle points on the electronic energy surface. Preliminary studies show that such time-INdependent methods have similar efficiency and predictive power as ground state DFT. The central idea of NEXUS is to develop an innovative computational framework leveraging saddle point search strategies to significantly expand excited state simulations beyond their current scope.Meanwhile, modern ultrafast X-ray techniques can achieve structural sensitivity for organic chromophores, offering a means to validate and complement the theoretical models for this important class of photoactive systems. By simulating the excited states in condensed phase rather than gas phase and directly visualizing atomic motion via ultrafast X-rays, NEXUS will provide unprecedented insights into the electronic and structural dynamics of organic molecules with application in photoswitching, singlet fission, and artificial photosynthesis. The goal is to unravel the elusive interplay between structure and function and pave the way to the rational design of photofunctional systems, enhancing the efficiency of solar energy conversion.

user: Explain how 'Lithium-Carbon-liquid electrolyte battery system for electric vehicles - car integration and demonstration' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Objectives  The main objectives of this project are:Providing two test platforms (one electric vehicle type for road test and one for safety test) which will use the same Lithium-Ion battery system technology and standard interfaces developed in a previous contract, JOE3-CT95-0012 (Project A) :  - Minimum Vehicle range : 200 km - Vehicle top speed : > 120 km/h - Minimum vehicle range over the life time of the battery : 100 000 km  These targets refer to a standard car with an energy consumption of 130 Wh/km/t. The objectives of performances at battery system level, mainly based on the European Battery System G2 technical specification (SAVALI document ref. S0016/98 rev.3), will be the following :  - Energy density : 120 Wh/kg - Cycling life with ECE15 cycles at 80% DOD : 1000 cycles - Operating temperature : -30°C to +45°C - Battery cost (at serie level of 100 kbatteries/year) : 150 EURO/kWh - Battery life : > 6 years  Technical approach  In the preceding project entitled Lithium-Carbon Liquid Electrolyte Battery System for Electric Vehicles: Battery Module and System Development Project (Project A, 1996-1999), a standard battery module and complete battery system were developed and bench-tested, incorporating standard interfaces ( CAN communication protocol). These standards will be used to develop and manufacture customized battery systems which will be integrated into car prototypes. Each battery system will consist of :  - several standard battery modules, serial connected.  - one or several customized trays containing all the battery subsystem components and their interface with the vehicle.  - one battery ' management ' system, incorporating the can communication protocol with the vehicle.  - one thermal ' management ' system.

user: Describe how 'Establishment of pcr-based site-selected mutagenesis in 'arabidopsis' to inactive genes putatively involved in disease resistance' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content The DNA sequence of the Arabidopsis genome is being determined. The function of genes identified by sequencing will be a major focus of biological research. I will (with others) develop a 'mutation machine' in Arabidopsis which will facilitate the isolation of insertion mutations in any known DNA sequence. Analysis of mutant phenotypes will give information on gene function. The approach involves saturation insertion mutagenesis; identification of mutations in specific genes can then be achieved with a PCR screen. We will use the En(Spm)/l(dSpm) transposon system which is active in Arabidopsis. By selecting directly for transposed dSpm elements, we aim to produce at least 57,600 transposants. With this level of saturation, it should be possible to identify an insertion in any Arabidospsis gene (average size of 3.2 kb) with a probability of 82%. The mutation machine is being developed in the Jones lab to test whether certain genes whose induction or activation has been correlated with defense response really play an indispensable role in resistance. In particular, to test the mutation machine, I will target the following genes: (1) NADPH oxidase genes homologues from mammalian NADPH oxidases (2) calcium-dependent protein kinases (3) glucanases and chitinases. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) Working on this project is very interesting to me for several reasons: -It will allow me to learn about plant pathology in an environment that is perfectly suited for this purpose -It will give me experience with the model plant Arabidopsis which I plan to continue using after this position -Finally, in addition of mutations that will be analyzed in this work, the mutation machine will provide material that will be useful for f

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Detecting patchy reionization and the first galaxies using the 21 cm and Lyman alpha lines' (21ALPHA).

assistant: **Concept**

The phase transition from a neutral to ionized Universe during the time of the first galaxies lies at the frontier of astrophysics.  Determining the topology of the ionized regions during this epoch of reionization will provide powerful constraints on the properties of the first galaxies that have yet to be seen directly.  Two observational pathways to probing the properties of these ionized bubbles exist: low-frequency radio observations of the redshifted 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen and the observations of the clustering of Lyman alpha emitter galaxies.  Observations in each of these areas are expected to expand greatly over the next five years.  This work will seek to understand the topology of ionized bubbles during reionization and so identify the key signatures of the first galaxies and reionization in 21 cm tomography.  We will also explore new ways of using clustering of Lyman alpha emitting galaxies to probe reionization via the non-Gaussianity of the clustering and the cross-correlation between LAE and continuum galaxies.  By including details of the underlying physical processes and observational techniques we will develop optimal statistics that are robust and realistic.  This theoretical work will support the efforts of the many European observational programs, such as LOFAR and VISTA, seeking to determine the nature of reionization and the first galaxies.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'THE DEBATE BETWEEN ISLAM AND THE WEST IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Perceptions of Eastern scholars about modern European civilization—is not well documented. The subject has been a growing field, especially in the US, during the last decade but critical groundwork is not yet complete. Thus, it is still difficult to assess the attitudes of early modern Muslim intellectuals and statesmen toward modern Western civilization, and specifically its sciences and technology, in any comprehensive way. “The Debate between Islam and the West in Science and Technology” (“DEBIWIST”) project will address these lacunae in the following ways: First, it will document the changing perceptions of European civilization held by native intellectuals in Turkey and Egypt between 1850 and 1950. Its focus will be considerations of Western sciences and technology, and Middle Eastern justifications for acceptance or rejection based on religious grounds. The study will concentrate on major thinkers from different sectors (religious and lay, and traditional and European-style educated thinkers or scholars) of each society. The second objective is to contribute in-depth and scholarly information and analyses to current debates about the compatibility of Islam and European civilizations. It will do this by examining case studies from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Here, research will analyze data from Egypt and Turkey that counters the “Clash of Civilizations” arguments presented in Samuel Huntington’s 1993 article and emphasizes the cooperation between Islam and Europe on a deeper academic level. The third objective is to contribute to and expand the area studies within the European context. Although European scholars established the precedents in Islamic studies, American universities have taken the lead in research and publication in Middle Eastern studies

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Development of new agrotextiles from renewable resources and with a tailored biodegradability', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Increasing oil-prices, a growing threat of oil-shortages, Kyoto agreements on green house gases, environmental effects and climate changes, are all elements that contribute to the concern for the future of our oil based economy.  Not only the search for biofuels but also for bio-based polymers and a more extensive use of the natural resources by upgrading the value of natural fibres and side products will be needed to cope with these problems.   Techno-economic studies predict an important growth for the bio-based polymer industry in the coming decennia. This will only be possible if new high end applications are developed. Textiles and especially agrotextiles offer a very attractive end market. Volumes in this market area are high and fast growing. At present, products are mainly based on Polyolefin’s (> 200Ktonnes/annum in Europe). Bio-based polymers in combination with natural fibres and side products can offer a good alternative, if biodegradation can be modelled and adapted according the specific end applications. Intrinsic positive properties of the bio-based polymers such as low flammability and high light fastness can boost technological advantages, leading to major economic and technologic benefits in industrial implementation.   The proposed project envisages the research and development of new 100% renewable agrotextiles, via combination of natural fibres, bio-based fibres and bio-based functional additives.  This requests: • new and optimised extrusion processes into fibres, yarn, monofilament or tape • processing into knitted, woven or non-woven structures and new finishing process • tailor-made mechanical and functional characteristics  • a controlled and predictable biodegradation adapted to the application envisaged • a proven performance for a number of
