user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Intelligent Surgical  Device' (ISD) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of the proposed collaboration research project is the development of a mass spectrometry-based tissue identification system capable of in-vivo, real-time identification of tissues during surgical and diagnostic interventions.The underlying Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) method was developed as the first analytical technique allowing the real-time chemical analysis of biological tissues in surgical environment. It was presented two years ago, and since then it was proven to fulfill all expectations raised, regarding level of tissue differentiation. It is now being experimentally tested in human surgical environment and preliminary results indicate that the method provides a real solution for the long-standing problem of instantaneous intraoperative tissue identification. REIMS technique was developed by Medimass Ltd. in close collaboration with Justus-Liebig-Universität, Gießen.The aim of the project is to develop a device that is capable of utilising REIMS in the surgical environment by adding a number of applications (surgery and targeted cancer types) that provide relevant information to surgeons during operation.In order to prove true intrasurgical applicability for a number of uses, the device interface and the surgical tools have to be adapted and extensively tested in real life situations. The result is a surgical device that is capable of providing instant histology information.The development of dedicated REIMS instrumentation apart, the proposed project also includes the development of a novel, lipidomics-based tissue phenotyping system, which uses the mass spectrometric data for the establishment of diseased or healthy tissue phenotypes. Envisioned phenotyping is based on the comparison of unknown data to a database of aut

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Surface treatment of silk screen printing in order to minimise cleaning operation and increase lasting quality' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal is prepared with the help of an Exploratory Award, which included a Research Feasibility Study (annexe 1). Toxic organic solvents and caustic soda are commonly used as cleaning agents in silk screen printing industry in order to eliminate colour rests left on the printing screens after the printing process. This elimination of colours has to be by 100 % to guaranty a good printing result for further printing by reused screens. All silk screen printers (12,000 Enterprises in the EU) are concerned. They have to reduce production costs because of competition situation to offset printing industry (4,000 enterprises concerned) Only a cooperative research project will be successful to obtain this objective because concerned enterprises are too small (5 20 employees) to lead such a trig enterprise alone. Since concerned enterprises are in competing situation between themselves on the national market, the project is necessary European. The aim of this work is to protect polyester fibres against physiochemical attack, which are used as printing support in silk screen printing industry. An innovative coating process will be developed covering silk fibres by a protecting film This film will avoid the adhesion of colours on the silk and suppress aggressive cleaning agents (toxic solvents and caustic soda) The use of toxic agents is suppressed (1 of solvent and 250 g of soda per printing series) and the lifetime of the tissues extended (2 times). No suitable process has been identified in literature treating similar problems (Research Feasibility Study, annexe 1). The project will increase safety (handling of toxic chemicals) of this job and will diminish health damage of concerned personal (12 % of the personal staff is concerned). The reduction of tissue damage by us

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Viruses and skin cancer risks (VIRASKIN)'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Skin cancers are among the most common cancers affecting the European population. A viral aetiology is hypothesized and certain Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) is found in skin cancer tissue, but has not been linked to skin cancer in epidemiological studies. AIM: To obtain solid evidence of which known or hitherto unknown viruses that are regularly present in skin cancer and then assess if these viruses are associated with increased risk for development of skin cancer. TASKS: Molecular detection systems with improved ability to detect and quantify skin cancer-associated viruses will be developed and applied to a large series of skin tumours. Serological methods based on virus-like particles will be developed. Population-based age and sex-specific prevalence's and attack rates of infection will be determined. Finally, the virus-specific relative risk for skin cancer will be determined by prospective studies.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'New methods of mitigation of seismic risk on existing foundations.' (NEMISREF) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Seismic upgrade of existing structures is a major concern for several European countries. Recent construction codes allow to build safe new structures; but cost of upgrade works is still too high. On the other hand, recent research has shown that local soil conditions can significantly alter the effect of earthquake motion on a given structure. Objective of the NEMISREF project is to develop new geotechnical foundations types with the objectives of mitigating the seismic risk of existing structures and reducing their displacement to tolerable values.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'In-situ experiments on the chemical composition of high altitude aerosols and clouds in the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Clouds and aerosols are the most important component of the global climate system, but the least understood. The general goal of EXCATRO is to enhance the understanding of TROPICAL clouds/aerosols at high altitudes, and in particular to quantify the ORGANIC and ANTHROPOGENIC contributions. This is of fundamental importance for the global climate and ozone chemistry since (1) the highest solar energy input occurs in the tropics, (2) the fastest (convective) transport of trace substances and pollutants from the ground towards the stratosphere takes place here, and (3) the highest tropical clouds largely control how much water vapor and aerosols enter the global stratosphere.Most of the processes and effects of tropical high clouds/aerosols critically depend on the chemical composition of individual particles. As very few direct in-situ measurements are available, I propose with EXCATRO: (1) to devise state-of-the-art in-situ instrumentation for the study of cloud/aerosol particle chemical composition from the Russian high altitude aircraft M-55 ""Geophysica"", and (2) to perform research flights within the Indian Monsoon and other tropical regions. In-situ, online-remote-controlled aerosol particle mass spectrometers as well as specific particle collection devices will allow measurements inside tropical (cirrus) clouds and aerosols as high as 20 km so as to gain essential insight into the processes underlying their origin, the formation of the stratospheric aerosol and of precipitation. Major emphasis is placed on the ORGANIC content of the measured aerosol, its sources and anthropogenic fraction, in particular from ground releases in the Indian Monsoon region and Southeast Asia.The in-situ data will provide key input for the numerical simulation of clouds, and satellite

user: Describe how 'Revealing the BActerial Response to Temperature and Antibiotics Stress via multiscale imaging' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest scientific and health challenges of our time. If actions are not taken, antibiotics resistance infections will become the first cause of death by 2050. One of the most common signs of bacterial infection is a rapid increase of the host temperature that exposes bacteria to a heat shock (HS). To survive and quickly adapt to this new environment, bacteria activate the synthesis of specific proteins, called heat shock proteins (HSPs). In E.coli, HSPs expression is mediated by the alternative sigma factor sigma32 (Sig32). The molecular processes that are associated with the bacterial stress responses induced by a combination of change in temperature and presence of antibiotics have not yet been investigated in detail due to the technical challenges of monitoring this combination of stresses with the necessary temporal and spatial accuracy. Cell-to-cell fluctuations in protein expression could affect single cells survival. Therefore, these processes should be studied with single cell precision. I propose to investigate bacterial responses to the combined stresses of temperature increase and antibiotics at single cell level in live E.coli using a combination of microfluidics and single molecule/super-resolution imaging. I will design and build a microfluid system able to control the stress landscape of temperature and antibiotic concentrations. This will allow me to study Sig32 expression during HS using fast-maturating fluorescent protein fusions. Next, I will monitor how HS affects proteins synthesis by measuring the diffusion changes of single ribosomal subunits (S30 and S50) during HS, using single particle tracking PALM. Finally, I will quantify the interplay between HS response and antibiotic susceptibility by monitoring Sig32

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Local Democratization, Governance, Citizen Empowerment, and Regime Legitimacy in China' (LOCALDEMOCRATIZATION).

assistant: **Concept**

The EU’s relationship with China is critical for the EU and for the future of the world. Our two economies are intertwined. Yet China is a one-party state, with a different view of democracy from that of the West. How long can China’s political system be sustained? How should the EU promote democracy, human rights, and citizens’ empowerment in China? The EU scholarly and policy communities have little capacity to answer these urgent questions. One failure of the EU’s research on China’s political change is the neglect of political developments at levels of government below the central state. This project will support Nottingham in its mission to become the leading centre for contemporary China Studies in Europe, by building a partnership between Nottingham and one of China’s top political research centres, to launch a study of democratization at the local level in China. The project will assess the democratization that is taking place in thousands of townships across China. It studies the effects of democratic reforms on the quality of local governance, on environmental protection and sustainable development, and on citizens’ participation and empowerment. It will compare the impacts of local democratization in 20 townships, using a mixture of methodologies that include case studies, surveys and interviews. Dr Zhengxu Wang, research coordinator at the China Policy Institute of the University of Nottingham and an expert on democratisation in China, will lead the project within his growing inter-disciplinary team of China analysts. Dr Ma Deyong, one of the most promising young scholars on local governance and democratization in China, will join as a Marie Curie Fellow from a top Chinese university, Nankai University. This project will greatly enhance EU academic community

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'ADVANCED CO2 CLEANING AS AN ECOLOGICAL PROCESS TECHNOLOGY' (ACCEPT).

assistant: **Innovation**

The cleaning of pliable (textiles and leathers) and hard surfaces (medical devices, medical implants and fine metal parts) requires solvents to remove dirt and soils before the materials  can be (re-)used in their final applications. These solvents can be organic solvents (halogena-ted and non-halogenated hydrocarbons) for a-polar soils or water with chemicals for polar soils. Each type of liquid has environmental and hygienic drawbacks. The cleaning and hygienic efficiency of these is not sufficient as small amounts of residual cleaning agents and/or soil impair the quality of the cleaned surface. The (non) halogenated hydrocarbon and aqueous systems can be replaced by liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) as a clean, hygienic and environmentally sound solvent. LCO2 has shortcomings and needs improvement of its cleaning performance and quantification of its disinfecting/sterilisation potential. Project ACCEPT investigates the use of LCO2 with respect to cleaning effectiveness and hygiene ability on pliable and hard surfaces (textiles, leathers, medical devices, implants and fine metal parts). The research continues earlier laboratory and pilot research, but will expand this to full scale industrial sized LCO2 cleaning units. In order to remove surface residuals, a CO2-precision cleaning step is required for fine parts. The earlier research will be extended to other hygienically demanding materials to be cleaned. The project further improves LCO2 for cleaning and hygienic quality of these materials. This will lead to replacement of (non) halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as hazardous perc and toxic trichloroethene. The LCO2 is non-toxic, non-flammable, has disinfecting/sterilising properties, is produced as an off-gas in almost pure form in the oil refining and ammonia produ

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'JUSTice for Communities Adaptation and REsilience' (JUST4CARE).

assistant: **Innovation**

The JUST4CARE project aims to transform climate adaptation practices by integrating principles of justice, equity, and resilience into urban and regional planning. Through inclusive and innovative approaches, the project addresses the specific needs of vulnerable and marginalized groups, who are disproportionately affected by climate change in European cities. The project will be implemented in pilot cities such as Madrid, Ankara, Budapest, and Zagreb, where equitable, data-driven solutions will be developed and tested.These solutions will be co-created with local communities and stakeholders, ensuring active participation and the implementation of equity-oriented policies. Additionally, AI-driven models will be used to integrate climate justice principles into risk assessments. The project will foster collaboration between cities and regions, allowing for the replication of effective solutions.JUST4CARE aligns with the work programme objectives by identifying, developing, and demonstrating equitable adaptation actions that enhance adaptive capacity and reduce vulnerability. It focuses on ensuring that the most vulnerable groups are meaningfully involved in the solution development process and directly benefit from them, promoting equity and climate resilience.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'SME Program for Energy Efficiency through Delivery and Implementation of EneRgy Audits' (SPEEDIER) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The Energy Efficiency Directive, in its art.8, requires Member States to develop programmes encouraging SMEs to undergo energy audits and implement the recommended energy-saving measures. However uptake of energy audits and implementation of energy conservation measures (ECM) among SMEs has been low to date. The barriers to uptake cited in the literature include lack of in-house expertise; lack of resource (time & money); perception that energy auditing is expensive; inability to act due to lack of control of services in the building they use; lack of willingness from landlords to act; inability to access finance due to the small nature of most projects. The SPEEDIER project will address these barriers by providing a self-financing outsourced energy management service to SMEs. By outsourcing the role of energy manager to SPEEDIER Experts, SMEs can access the expertise needed at the required time, leading to greater uptake of energy audits and implementation of energy efficiency measures. SPEEDIER will target groups of SMEs in 4 EU pilot regions: in Spain we will test a location based approach, engage with SMEs based at a single business park to demonstrate that advantages of clustering SMEs give them better access to the economies of large scale projects; in Ireland and Romania SMEs in the manufacturing and hospitality sectors respectively will be approached to test a sector based approach to service delivery; in Italy, a more general approach of accessing SMEs from any sector via ESCOs will be tested. The project is to be self-financing to remove any financial barriers to energy audit uptake and implementation of ECMs. The mechanism for making this work in practice follows an Energy Performance Contract model where the consultant delivering the support retains a share

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Ultrathin Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) Derived from Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Nanosheets for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN)'.

assistant: **Concept**

Energy efficiency is at the heart of the EU’s 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) technology is an emerging technology that can potentially achieve organic liquid separation on a molecular scale with less than half the energy consumption than conventional distillation processes. The main obstacle is the lack of OSN membrane materials with three key properties: high flux; high selectivity; and excellent stability. This project seeks to develop ultrathin OSN  membranes comprising metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets in ultrathin polymer matrix in the form of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). This research work is based on combining recent technology breakthroughs in: (i) 1-nm-thick MOF nanosheet based molecular sieve membranes, developed by the Applicant;  and (ii) highly cross-linked sub-10-nm-thick OSN polymer membranes developed by the Host group. This is a timely and highly original research concept to create a new generation of high performances, and brings the full potential of MOF materials to the field of OSN membranes to produce highly stable OSN membranes with ultrafast solvent permeation and finely tunable (molecular weight cut-off) MWCO curves. In addition, the in-depth studies on controllable synthesis of MOF structures, rational design and synthesis of polymer networks, and microstructural optimization of MOF-polymer composites are expected to lead to application-oriented fabrication of high-performance membranes and functional thin films for a wide range of applications. This project will bring together the complementary expertise of both the applicant and the Host with the aim of developing mutually-beneficial research cooperation between Europe and China. This high-quality and highly innovative
