user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Tracing Informal Constitutional Changes using Word Embeddings'.

assistant: **Concept**

TRACE investigates informal constitutional changes initiated by constitutional courts, utilizing a novel methodological framework that brings together political science, constitutional law, and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Informal constitutional changes occur when a constitutional court quietly adopts new interpretations of constitutional norms, often influenced by political pressures. Traditional approaches in political science and constitutional law are not adequately equipped to explore these subtle shifts. TRACE will employ contextualized word embeddings to track changes in the semantic structure of Turkish Constitutional Court (TCC) case law, with a focus on key topics such as the separation of powers, individual rights, and secularism. Turkish constitutional history, marked by recurring crises and the central role of the TCC, offers an ideal context for examining these implicit constitutional changes. TRACE is organized around three objectives. The first objective is to identify the semantic structure of Turkish constitutional case law. The second is to detect informal semantic changes within this case law, using cosine similarity scores and dynamic visualizations to measure shifts in constitutional interpretation. The third is to analyze the contextual and theoretical implications of these findings, exploring the causal relationship between informal changes and episodes of political pressure on the TCC, re-evaluating theories of constitutional change, and generating insights relevant to other constitutional regimes.Through this comprehensive approach, TRACE aims to enhance our understanding of how constitutional norms evolve under political pressure and how constitutional courts adapt their rulings. Ultimately, the project will contribute to the design of

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'The role of national parliaments in the Arab transformation processes'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The research analyses the role of national parliaments in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia since 2011, and assesses their contributions to the political transformation processes. It diminishes an existing research gap since parliaments have received almost no consideration in ‘Arab Spring’ research yet. Semi-structured interviews in all four countries with local parliamentarians, academics, NGO representatives, diplomats and similar decision-makers will produce primary data that will be further discussed in workshops at academic institutions in Amman, Cairo, Rabat and Tunis as well as a conference at the University of Dundee. Peer-reviewed articles, open-access contributions and a monograph will disseminate findings to the public.The underlying hypothesis is that parliaments have influence only in policy topics that (a) do not tackle national security questions and (b) are of domestic nature. In other words, parliaments in the four selected Arab countries may be influential in less sensitive facets of the countries’ individual justice and home affairs, yet to different extent.For this, Prof. Christian Kaunert is the perfect supervisor, as he is one of the most distinguished scholars on EU justice and home affairs with strong affinities to the Arab world; the action will be connected to his newly established European Institute for Security and Justice, created within the School of Politics at UNIVDUN, and contribute not only to excellent basic research but also help increasing the institute’s visibility within the EU as well as within core countries of the EU’s southern neighbourhood.For the intended research action, the experienced researcher can already built on initial research that he has conducted in 2013 and 2014 as visiting professor at Cairo University.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Novel mechanisms of adaptive and innate bacteriophage immunity'.

assistant: **Concept**

Microbes are engaged in an evolutionary arms-race with their viruses and have evolved a spectrum of adaptive and innate defense systems to limit viral predation. Mechanistic insights into defense systems have yielded truly revolutionary genetic tools ranging from CRISPR-based genome editing nucleases to restriction enzymes used for molecular cloning. Despite the ongoing effort to understand defense systems, many antiviral defense systems remain virtually unstudied in and outside their native microbial context, creating huge potential for scientific breakthroughs and development of further game changing applications.In the timely research proposed here I aim to uncover how adaptive (CRISPR) and innate immune systems protect bacteria from bacterial viruses (phages) at the molecular, cellular and population level. Based on our exiting unpublished observation that extremely phage resistant pathogens in our bacterial strain collection are true collectors of defense systems, I propose to investigate the contribution of each defense system and cooperativity between defense systems for broad and specific bacteriophage resistance. I furthermore aim to determine the molecular mechanism of a dominant set of related innate immune systems found in clinical pathogens, and to reveal how individual phages achieve immune evasion.To accomplish my goals, I plan to use an interdisciplinary approach combining state-of-the-art molecular microbiology and biophysics at the single molecule and single cell level, with bioinformatics and high-throughput synthetic genomics screens. The project may lead to fundamentally new insights into the mechanism and evolution of virus immunity and will further explore the genetic treasure trove at the interface of virus and host interactions. Our findings wil

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Deciphering of Root and Rhizosphere microbiome to increase host fitness in the Fusarium oxysporum- plant interaction' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Fungi have a devastating impact on human nutrition and health. Fungal pathogens provoke huge yield losses in crops, destroying around 23% of the agricultural production annually. A major proportion of this loss is caused by pathogenic root-colonizing microbes that have evolved sophisticated strategies to outcompete the benign microbial competitors in the rhizosphere and to actively suppress the plant immune response. The fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum (Fox) is a soil-borne root infecting fungus that provokes vascular wilt disease in over a hundred different agricultural crops, and represents a serious threat world-wide. The current control methods for this pathogen depend upon extensive use of chemical pesticides, which are highly unsustainable in the food-chain. Here we propose to use the Fox-tomato interaction as a model to molecularly dissect the role of the root (including endophytic) and rhizosphere microbiota in modulating vascular wilt disease. We will use a barcoded pyrosequencing approach to taxonomically define the root and rhizosphere microbiome in tomato. Next, we will dissect the impact of the microbiome on fungal host sensing, using an established collection of isogenic signalling mutants of Fox available in the host lab. We will carry out in vivo Fox- bacterial interaction assays to generate a dataset for identification of bacterial communities exerting an antagonistic effect on pathogen colonization. The project will thus produce new insights into the interplay between the root microbiome and pathogen colonization. The, generated knowledge platform will be used to reassemble a synthetic ‘SynCom’ microbiome that will be used to control Vascular Wilt, thereby advancing the development of sustainable agriculture.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Future bio-pesticides for EU: unlocking the code of Saponin Structure-Activity Relationships for use in pest management', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Insect pests are very damaging to worldwide food production, and there is a great demand for new environmentally-friendly bio-pesticides. Saponins are a structurally diverse class of naturally occurring plant defense compounds that are a promising resource for novel and more sustainable pesticides. Due to their detergent-like properties, saponins can disrupt the cell membranes of herbivory pests, cause cell death, and ultimately kill them. Despite the promising potential of saponins as bio-pesticides, little is yet known about which saponin chemical structures are toxic to which specific pest. The SSAR project aims to elucidate the relationship between saponin chemical structures and their biological activities and evolution. First, the genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of saponins will be identified. Then desired or novel saponins will be produced in plant tissues through metabolic engineering with the identified genes. Finally, purified saponins will be used in bioassays with a range of pest species, to unlock the code of exactly which saponin chemical structures have a given specific biological activity. The new knowledge gained will have great industrial application potential as a generic platform for the production of bioactive compounds from plants and their use for bio-pesticides as an alternative to chemically produced pesticides. The new bio-pesticides will both help to meet society’s need for more sustainable food production and to contribute to the development of the knowledge based bio-economy. Identification of genes involved in saponin biosynthetic pathway will also open the possibility to engineer and breed crop with tailored saponin-based pest resistance capabilities. The SSAR will allow me to develop as an independent and mature researcher, and

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Dark Estuaries: Mapping coastal aquifer biodiversity in a changing world' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Subterranean estuaries extend inland into coastal aquifers inhabited by a surprising diversity of subterranean animals with peculiar ecological and evolutionary features. How complex ecosystems thrive in this globally distributed habitat in different hydrological and geological settings is poorly understood. This study aims to integrate a novel global database of subterranean fauna with existing geochemical data and high-resolution hydrogeology maps of the world’s aquifers, using modern statistical and modelling methods, to achieve an integrated understanding of the drivers of biodiversity in coastal aquifers and their response to global environmental change. Indeed, coastal aquifers connect the world’s oceanic and hydrologic ecosystems and provide water source for more than one billion people in coastal regions, but these habitats are among those most prone to the long-term effects of climate change and human population growth. Therefore, expected outcomes of the study will contribute to the increasing efforts to discover, describe, and sustain groundwater-dependent ecosystems and to identify biological communities that could serve as indicators of the health of groundwater resources. To achieve these goals, a holistic approach is proposed that bridges scientific disciplines across ecology and geosciences. The project also targets to build the foundation for my long-term plans, that is, to reintegrate in Europe and establish myself as a leading expert in the emerging field of Earth System Ecology. Ensuring success, I will be supervised by host Diego Fontaneto, an expert in ecology, evolution, and large-scale patterns of biodiversity of microscopic animals at the Water Research Institute of CNR in Italy. Moreover, I will benefit from interactions with secondment-host Ni

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Global renewable energy and environmental neighbourhoods as solar cities'.

assistant: **Objectives**

In the proposed CONCERTO project in Valby. 200 kWp PV is integrated to match electricity use for ventilation in 600 housing units, and solar thermal collectors are combined with water savings to obtain 40-50% solar for DHW for 333 retrofit housing units and 50% for 70 passive house rooftop apartments, while 200 new built apartments will get 31% solar DHW. Besides is used an innovative and cost effective biomass gasification CHP plant using wood pellets.In Salzburg they are also like Copenhagen already a kind of solar city. Their plan is in the Concerto II project to demonstrate how you can expand the use of solar heating to a higher level of the total need for heating and DHW, e.g. from 15% today to up to 45% in the best new apartment building schemes. This is done by combining with a gasified heat pump. At the same time they use district heating which is at least 50% based on biomass for the rest of the heating supply.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Commercialization of an innovative tomographic reconstruction algorithm (Super-sampling SART) for various geometry setups'.

assistant: **Objectives**

In this proposal, we would like to advance our high quality and highly flexible multi-purpose three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction algorithm from a state of the art research tool to an innovative commercial software product. Transmission tomography uses N-1 dimensional images to reconstruct an N-dimensional object. It is applicable on a multitude of applications ranging from scientific to industrial level. Our implementation has already proven its superior image reconstruction capabilities for incomplete and low signal-to-noise ratio electron tomography and X-ray microscopy data against the established reconstruction algorithms. In addition, the reconstruction time is reduced to between 50% and 90% compared to other reconstruction methods. Thus, it offers crucial advantages for multi-dimensional image visualization and interpretation, in particular for quantitative information extraction.The primary aim is to bridge different fields using tomography as their common technique and to benchmark our implementation on today's ubiquitous diverse medical and industrial computed tomography, industrial safety scanning, and natural sciences tomography-based data. All of these data share similar characteristics and the same fundamental challenges. Our implementation is based on precise engineering that runs on various processing units such as CPU, GPU, and FPGA boards.The secondary aim is to bring the implementation from academic to industrial level by creating a user interface, optimizing its documentation and usability, and by approaching the target market. The results of this ERC Proof of Concept funding phase shall constitute the basis of licensing agreements in clinical and industrial applications and eventually of the in-licensing of our reconstruction software by to

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'An eXtreme Mesh deformation method to follow sharp physical interfaces'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project will develop an innovative approach, X-MESH, to overcome a major difficulty associated with engineeringanalysis: we aim to provide a revolutionary way to track physicalinterfaces in finite element simulations using extreme deformation ofthe meshes.Unprecedented low computational cost, high robustness andaccuracy are expected as the proposed approach is designed to avoidthe pitfalls of the current methods, especially for topological changes. The key idea of the projecthas emerged in a synergistic brainstorming between J.-F. Remacle(meshing methods) and N. Moës (computational methods).  This key ideais to allow elements to deform up to zero measure. For example, atriangle can deform to an edge or even a point. This idea is ratherextreme and totally revisits the interaction between the meshingcommunity and the computational community who, for decades, havestriven to interact through beautiful meshes. Six areas in fluid and solid mechanics as well as heattransfer are targeted.  Interfaces will be either (i) material,i.e. attached to particles of matter (the interface between twoimmiscible fluids or the dry interface in a wetting and drying model)(ii) immaterial, i.e. migrating through the material  (asolidification front, contact front, yield front in yield stress fluidflow or a crack front). Successes brought by X-MESH are expected in the following engineeringareas: safety design and maintenance, manufacturing processes, coastalengineering, energy efficiency, ocean modeling to cite a few. Theproject takes place in a stimulating environment mixing senior staffwith PhDs and Post-docs to produce and disseminate publications withopen source pieces of software. It also intends to create a synergy atlarge with the computational communities dealing with interfaces an

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Microbial adaptation within ecosystems' (ECOADAPT) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

All natural populations are constantly subject to new mutations, and frequently face new environments, to which they adapt. Knowledge of the genetics of adaptation should provide the centerpiece of a unified theory of evolution. Despite its extreme importance, the process of adaptation is far from being understood. How does the shape of distribution of fitness effects of mutations depend on the environment? What is the importance of epistasis in adaptive evolution? are still open questions. While empirical observations on advantageous mutations are extremely difficult, recent technical advances allow us to start tackling these questions with an unprecedented accuracy. Here we will combine different methods in a novel powerful marker system to track adaptive mutations as they become incorporated into bacterial populations adapting to different environments and as they fix. Interestingly theory suggest that some generalities may underlie the process of adaptation and that ecology may be important in the dynamics and statistical laws of adaptation. Experimental evolution with bacteria presents us with the opportunity to directly measure key parameters and to test theoretical predictions about the genetic basis of adaptive evolution in increasingly complex ecosystems. As Dobzansky pointed out  The greater the diversity of inhabitants in a territory, the more adaptive opportunities exist in it.  The main goal of this research project is to measure rates and effects of adaptive mutations, as well as patterns of epistasis amongst beneficial mutations in environments with different strengths of abiotic versus biotic interactions.
