user: Explain how 'General Relativistic Effect in Galaxy Clustering as a Novel Probe of Inflationary Cosmology' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Substantial advances in cosmology over the past decades have firmly established the standard model of cosmology. However, the physical nature of the early Universe and dark energy (or inflationary cosmology) remains  poorly understood. To resolve these issues, a large number of galaxy surveys are planned to measure millions of galaxies in the sky, promising precision measurements of galaxy clustering with enormous statistical power. Despite these advances in observation, the standard theoretical description of galaxy clustering is based on the Newtonian description, inadequate for measuring the relativistic effects from the early Universe and the deviations of modified gravity from general relativity. In recent years, the applicant, for the first time, developed the linear-order general relativistic description of galaxy clustering and showed that the relativistic effect in galaxy clustering is already measurable at a few-sigma level in current surveys like the Sloan surveyand significant detections (>10 sigma) are possible in upcoming surveys.This research proposal will aim to use the subtle relativistic effect in galaxy clustering to develop novel probes of inflationary cosmology. In particular, the applicant will 1) formulate the higher-order relativistic description of galaxy clustering, an essential tool for computing the bispectrum, and 2) investigate the unique relativistic signatures (linear-order and higher-order) in galaxy clustering from the early Universe and dark energy to develop novel probes of isolating those signatures and to quantify their detectabilities in future galaxy surveys. Biases in cosmological parameter estimation, if the standard Newtonian description is used, will be quantified. A comprehensive understanding of inflationary cosmology will h

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Engineering of yeast glycerol metabolism towards optimised yield of fermentation end products and improved tolerance to osmotic stress' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Glycerol is of considerable importance in industrial yeast fermentations as the major by-product besides ethanol and carbon dioxide. In addition, glycerol accumulation is essential in osmotic stress resistance of yeast. With respect to wine fermentations higher glycerol yields are desired to improve product quality whereas lower glycerol production is expected to result in higher ethanol yields in the alcohol distillation industry. In baker's yeast production and application higher glycerol accumulation inside the cell is expected to improve the yeast's stress tolerance and performance during fermentation at high substrate osmolarity, during the drying process and during freesing and thawing of doughs. Collaborative work between several of the partners in this proposal, involvlng active exchange of researchers, results and materials and evidenced by several common publications, has characterised major genetic components of glycero. biosynthesis and utilization as well as of glycerol uptake and efflux. Essential too s are now at hand to design novel yeast strains displaying either enhanced or reduced net glycerol production. For laboratory strains we have demonstrated that glycerol yields and internal glycerol accumulation can be altered greatly by changing the expression of only one or two genes. Hence, glycerol metabolism is a highly practicable model system for engineering metabolic fluxes even in genetically complex industrial yeasts. The first objective of this proposal is to engineer yeast strains towards higher glycerol production for use in the wine industry. This will be accomplished by first increasing the capacity of glycerol production and efflux. To further accelerate glycerol yields the glycolytic flux will be altered to provide higher substrate levels for

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Phytoplankton dynamics in systems dominated by variable forcing' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

I propose to re-establish my research group specializing in the comprehension and quantification of phytoplankton dynamics through modelling, experimentation, and field studies following my move from the CSIRO in Australia to the CNRS (at the University of Rennes 1) in France.The main area of investigation of the group will be the study of interactions between physical, chemical and biological processes in the dynamics and diversity of aquatic ecosystems, and in particular the conditions giving rise to al gal blooms. To study this complex system, a multidisciplinary approach combining numerical methods, experimentation in controlled environments and field observations is needed. This multidisciplinary approach was successful in Australia and has let to an improved understanding of causes of algal blooms in rivers leading to efficient mitigations solutions.The innovation of the proposed research lies is the multidisciplinary approach being proposed, in the development of new instrumentation and in the questions that it addresses about the role of adaptive strategies of specific algae including cyanobacteria in species competition. Funding is requested for equipment, chemical analyses, and travel. The proposed research will contribute to enhance EU scientific excellence by facilitating the return of a European Researcher after almost twenty years of research activities overseas (in Canada and Australia) and will promote her re-integration within the European research community and in particular within France an d ECOBIO in Rennes.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Optically Driven Terahertz Amplifiers'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This proposal focuses on the development of an application-specific component that works in the Terahertz  (THz) regime; in this context, we propose to realize a THz source with innovative features specific for monitoring systems for safety and security. Until now the use of THz  monitoring system has been strongly limited due to the very low power and the large dimensions of the existing sources in the THz.The OPTHER project aims at solving this limitation with a breakthrough with respect to all the other solutions up to know available in Europe, U.S. and Asia. We plan to use available optical THz sources (such as Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCL) or photomixing systems) and boost their performances by designing and fabricating compact, efficient and reliable novel vacuum THz amplifier.The breakthrough of this proposal is the enhancement of the performance of THz optical source by using vacuum THz amplifiers purposely designed and integrated with the optical driver. The novel THz amplifier will be based on field emitting carbon nanotubes (CNT) used as cold cathodes. Two alternative schemes will be employed for amplification.- In the first one (THz drive signal amplifier) the continuous wave electron beam emitted by the CNT cathode is modulated by the electric field in the interaction structure driven by a THz signal- In the second one (optically modulated beam THz amplifier) the emission of current is driven by the THz signal. With this second scheme the delivery of high power output should be facilitated.The source output signal will be fully characterized using commercial broadband detectors such as Schottky diodes or  bolometers. The composition of the consortium has been carefully arranged for including all the expertise necessary for a successful  conclusion of the res

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Plant metallothioneins as potential players in food security'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Food security is a socioeconomical concept that involves access to food that meets people's dietary needs and preferences. Current and future food security is threatened by more frequent and more widespread drought events, leading to reduction in crop yields. A related issue of global importance is micronutrient deficiency. Zinc, a micronutrient involved in all major physiological processes, has outstanding potential to improve crop yields, as well as animal and human health. One long-term and cost-effective approach to overcome zinc deficiency in humans involves biofortification - increasing micronutrients in staple crops.In this context, the molecular processes underlying (a) drought resistance, and (b) micronutrients accumulation in edible parts of crop plants need to be elucidated. One protein family – the plant metallothioneins (MTs) – shows tremendous promise in enhancing drought tolerance, zinc accumulation, and bioavailability.This project aims to analyse the complement of MTs from sorghum, a cereal plant with unusual drought- and heat-resistance that is a staple crop for 500 Million people. Sorghum is predicted to become more prevalent in future European diets.In this project, the questions whether and which MT may be involved in (a) zinc accumulation in grains, (b) discrimination between essential zinc and toxic cadmium, and (c) drought stress tolerance, will be addressed. A unique cross-disciplinary approach spanning in-planta analysis to protein biophysics will furnish unprecedented insight into crucial aspects of plant zinc homeostasis and drought tolerance. Outcomes will impact European scientific excellence by empowering a female scientist from Central Europe, and by inspiring further work in plant science.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'The Motivational Proteus Effect in Virtual Embodiment' (MOTIVE).

assistant: **Innovation**

MOTIVE proposes a programme to guide designers and researchers in creating avatar-mediated immersive experiences that strengthen autonomy, competence and relatedness to support sustained action in effortful tasks relevant to sustainability. It addresses the intersection of Self-Determination Theory, avatar embodiment and immersive virtual reality (VR), which has yet to mature on theoretical, empirical and practical levels. It does so by: RO1) developing and validating a third-person psychometric scale that measures perceived need satisfaction in avatars; RO2) conducting an immersive VR experiment that manipulates avatar motivational profiles and tests causal effects on behaviour with moderation by individual differences; and RO3) synthesising findings into a practical framework and design guidelines for motivational embodiment and behaviour change, triangulating theoretical and empirical evidence. The host institution and my skills are highly complementary: I will transfer expertise in psychometrics and user studies, while Tampere University’s Gamification Group provides strengths in avatar design, gamification, human-computer interaction and sustainability needed to deliver the research objectives. The project will produce a validated scale, a replicable experimental paradigm and clear design guidelines for researchers and practitioners working on mixed reality and behaviour change. By addressing intention-action gaps through avatar design, MOTIVE contributes actionable methods and evidence for sustained engagement in sustainable human practice.

user: Explain how 'Diversifying revenue in rural Africa through circular, sustainable and replicable bio-based solutions and business models' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Africa will need to feed over 2 billion people by 2050 while coping with unprecedented demographic, socio-economic, environmental, climatic and health transitions. Meanwhile, undernourishment is still on the rise, affecting almost 20% of its population now. Under this light, ensuring Africa’s food security becomes imperative, with the bioeconomy posed to play a leading role to this end. It is against this backdrop that BIO4AFRICA sets off to support the deployment of the bioeconomy in rural Africa via the development of bio-based solutions and value chains with a circular approach to drive the cascading use of local resources and diversify the income of farmers. Our focus is on transferring simple, small-scale and robust bio-based technologies adapted to local biomass, needs and contexts (green biorefinery, pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonisation, briquetting, pelletising, bio-composites and bioplastics production). In doing so we aim at empowering farmers to sustainably produce a variety of higher value bio-based products and energy (animal feed, fertiliser, pollutant absorbents, construction materials, packaging, solid fuel for cooking and catalysts for biogas production), significantly improving the environmental, economic and social performance of their forage agri-food systems. To this end, we have set up 4 pilot cases with over 8 testing sites in Uganda, Ghana, Senegal and Ivory Coast, offering more than 300 farmers and farmer groups of all sizes (incl. small dairy and lower-income farmers, women farmer groups and transhumant pastoralists among others) the opportunity to test them in real productive conditions. Along the way, our balanced mix of 13 African and 12 EU partners will engage in solid multi-actor collaboration with rural communities and government, co-dev

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Novel perspectives on our Solar System History recorded in the Atacama DEsert' (NoSHADE) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Throughout Earths history our planet was subject to cosmic tempers that occasionally impacted global climate and biological evolution but almost always left their traces behind. Individual large impactors leave craters as footprints. Cosmic events in our Solar System, such as asteroid collisions or cometary sublimation, eject vast amounts of interplanetary dust particles, which also encounter Earth, but more quietly. They become part of sedimentary records in the form of micrometeorites or dispersed as atoms if evaporated during atmospheric entry. Furthermore, within our solar neighbourhood (50-150 pc) tens of star explosions, i.e., supernovae, occurred within the last >10 Myr. Their expanding shock fronts containing interstellar dust swept across our Solar System and a small but measurable fraction made its way to Earth. The overarching goal of NoSHADE is to collect traces of cosmic dust from Atacama Desert sedimentary records reaching back >10 Myr and link them to specific cosmic events. The main cosmic traces to be investigated are micrometeorites as well as radionuclides derived from interplanetary and interstellar dust (10Be, 26Al, 53Mn, 60Fe), which will be measured using the most advanced accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) facilities available worldwide. Such an unprecedented >10 Myr-spanning record of multiple cosmic tracers will allow NoSHADE to shed light on two central and pressing questions: What was the quantity, timing, location, and type of supernovae having occurred in our solar neighbourhood? Which were the major dust-producing events and processes having taken place in our Solar System? The answers to these questions are not only fascinating by themselves and tell us what kind of dust and debris Earth encountered in space over the past Myr, but they w

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'nexT gEneration MultiPle architEcture battery Systems for indusTry' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

To date, most modern, off-the-shelf battery designs targeting lightweight application use lithium-ion technology. This is due to the fact that other existing technologies such as NiMH and Pb:Acid are often too heavy, leading to energy densities inferior to those of Li-Ion technologies. New technologies must improve upon energy density, whilst also employing green, recyclable designs and avoiding the use of critical raw materials.In addition, the rapid increase in the number of electrified vehicles, especially those employing fast-charging systems, has lead to an increasing load on energy generation systems.  During periods of mass travel (for example, during the summer vacation season), this can lead to severe loading. It is therefore important to consider the whole of the electric vehicle system – not only at the vehicle level, but also at the infrastructure level.  Europe is very strong in terms of its capacity to produce final products (such as EVs and stationary storage systems), but is weaker when considering its capacity to produce and use raw materials, advanced materials, and equipment for manufacturing cells. The overarching of goal of the TEMPEST project is to develop and mature a new generation of safe-by-design, recyclable, high-performance, and lightweight batteries for the largest possible swath of transport applications. TEMPEST will bring to TRL5 advanced, module-free battery systems, optimized using AI algorithms, and based on both LIC and SSC cell chemistries through three different demonstrator batteries types (compact, large-scale, and stationary) selected as representative batteries for the range of use case applications targeted (automotive, aircraft, maritime, rail, and stationary). TEMPEST has access to direct capacity to scale results.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Joining dissimilar materials and composites by friction stir welding (JOIN-DMC)' (JOIN-DMC).

assistant: **Concept**

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) technology will be developed for joining of dissimilar materials and composites through a generic, research-oriented project focusing on three material combinations. The materials selected for evaluation are industrially relevant combinations but are also representative of classes of dissimilar materials. In the first phase of the project, trial welds will be manufactured for each material combination, allowing key material and process issues to be identified. The objective is to establish a systematic understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with FSW for each material combination. In the second phase, additional joints will be manufactured using a white range of process conditions. Assessment of key metallurgical and mechanical aspects of the welds combined with modeling of FSW, will allow a set of process guidelines" to be established for each material combination. These guidelines, which are based on fundamental principles, can then be used to gauge the appropriate welding conditions for other dissimilar materials. The knowledge gained will also be applied to the commercially important topic of weld repair using FSW techniques.A research matrix review, assembling the information collected in the preliminary joining of the dissimilar and composite materials trial runs, including weld integrity assessment on the mechanical and metallurgical properties which covered monotonic tensile testing, location of failure, microhardness profiles across the welds, chemical identification of alloy phases, defect characterization, and residual stresses measurements on the surfaces along tracks crossing over the welded region, has been provided. The integrated understanding of both materials and process parameters influence on them is p
