user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Quantitative Evolution' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the context of unprecedented anthropogenic forcing in the living world, the speed and mechanisms of evolution remain the key to many questions ranging from pathogens adaptation to the dynamics of biodiversity. To what extent can evolutionary theory make predictions? What would be the time horizon of such predictions? These are the two questions I would like to address with this project. Experimental evolution with microbes is now a standard in studying evolution. It represents both unprecedented experimental progress in this field but also a real challenge to the theory. This project is organized into three parts. In the first, the aim is to develop mutation models to account for the diversity of possible mutation effects in evolutionary models. A major challenge is to be able to frame these models in terms of measurable quantities so that they can be tested and calibrated with appropriate data. The second aim is to build synthetic quantitative evolution models. Clearly, this development does not start from scratch. However, the development of current theory has to be made in two particular directions. First, it is necessary to incorporate the distribution of mutation fitness effects in evolutionary models. Second it is needed to incorporate explicit demography. In the third part, the aim is to develop empirical systems to confront the theory. One of the central issues is to develop biological models in which evolution can be measured on significant time scales. Microorganisms are ideal for this purpose and I will set up experiments with Escherichia coli to study niche evolution. However, it is also crucial to measure evolution in natura, so that I will also develop an alternative model system (Artemia spp.) with which field individuals several hundred generations ap

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'NATECH Risk management and Resilience of High-TECH industries and Critical infrastructures across EUrope'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Ageing infrastructures, urbanization, and climate change are constantly increasing the vulnerability of industrial facilities and communities to cascading hazards. The REUNATECH Doctoral Network is a research and training programme that aims to educate and train Doctoral Candidates (DCs) on risk management and resilience for critical infrastructures (CI), high-tech industries (HTI), and communities across Europe against NaTech (Natural hazard triggering Technological accidents). This is achieved through integrating advanced risk-resilience methodologies, innovative technologies, and collaborative training platforms.The scientific objectives include (1) developing a holistic multi-hazard risk assessment framework accounting for cascading effects, (2) creating a digital environment using advanced technologies for real-time assessment, (3) advancing the dynamic risk assessment towards resilience improvements, and (4) establishing a digital risk-resilience framework for HTI/CI and communities. The training objectives aim to enhance the understanding between NaTech risk assessment methods and European frameworks through workshops, summer schools, and specialized sessions. REUNATECH ensures smooth communication across different fields and creates an environment where Doctoral Candidates, through training and international exchanges, can bridge the gap between academia and industry.The innovative objectives include creating a Virtual Training Environment (VTE) for disaster response training, integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) using smart sensor systems, introducing resilience-based design software, and establishing NaTech multi-stakeholder collaboration platforms. With its interdisciplinary approach and robust methodologies,

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Psychosis risk subtypes and white matter integrity: exploring subgroup trajectories'.

assistant: **Concept**

Psychotic disorders rank among the top 25 global causes of disability, impacting individuals, their families, and society. Much of this burden stems from early onset and poor clinical outcomes. While approximately 30% of individuals experience persistent symptoms, illness trajectories following a first psychotic episode vary widely and remain poorly understood. Cumulative genetic and environmental risk exposures and underlying white matter (WM) microstructure abnormalities have been associated with clinical outcomes during the first few years following psychosis onset. Still, it remains unexplored how different combinations of risk exposures are linked via WM microstructure with short- and long-term psychosis outcomes. Thus, RISK-MATTER aims to identify biologically and clinically meaningful subgroups of individuals with recent-onset psychosis based on their different genetic and environmental risk profiles by employing advanced clustering approaches. I will assess whether stratifying participants into these more similar subgroups enhances the effectiveness of supervised machine learning models that utilize WM microstructure and baseline clinical features to predict traditional one-year clinical outcomes. Yet, traditional retrospective assessments to evaluate clinical outcomes are prone to memory and assessor bias. Hence, I will further re-contact a subset of individuals up to eight years after psychosis onset to collect traditional and smartphone-based assessments to determine whether my models predictive accuracy is robust when evaluating longer-term and real-life outcomes. During this project, I will build expertise in diffusion-weighted imaging, unsupervised machine learning, and smartphone-based assessments, mentored by Prof. Pasternak (Harvard Medical School) and

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Green Lifestyles, Alternative Models and Upscaling Regional Sustainability' (GLAMURS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The overall aim of GLAMURS (Green Lifestyles, Alternative Models and Upscaling Regional Sustainability) is to develop a theoretically-based and empirically-grounded understanding of the main obstacles and prospects for transitions to sustainable lifestyles and a green economy in Europe, as well as of the most effective means to support and speed them up. The call states explicitly that for transitions to be possible there is a need to address the demand side, reevaluate growth models and find appropriate ways to produce lifestyle changes and economic paradigm shifts. The result will be the development, testing and assessing of several integrated pathways for transitions to a low-carbon Europe.GLAMURS will develop theory, models and evidence on obstacles and prospects for the transformation to green economies and lifestyles in Europe. It will do this through multi-scale, multi-region integrated research involving psychologists, economists and policy experts studying individual and societal levels, combined with environmental impact modeling of the effects of scenarios and policy interventions on lifestyle and economic transitions. The research will engage policymakers and stakeholders at the European and regional scales, studying citizens' everyday lives in the present, and emerging initiatives: 'early adopters' of more sustainable lifestyle practices and behaviors. It will provide recommendations on the best governance designs and policy mixes for achieving a sufficiently-fast paced transition in Europe in line with the objectives established in the Europe 2020 strategy and the Resource Efficiency Flagship Initiative.It will also evaluate the context the project creates to understand how citizens, researchers, stakeholder organizations and policymakers come to know what

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Revolutionizing Molecular Thermodynamics by Water and Electrolytes' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Molecular thermodynamics plays a crucial role in the modeling, design, and optimization of various systems in product and process engineering. Despite significant progress made over the decades, existing thermodynamic models and theories still face significant challenges, particularly when dealing with water and electrolytes. This project seeks to harness these challenges as opportunities to revolutionize molecular thermodynamics by developing novel and physically sound models and theories that surpass current limitations. I aim to deepen our fundamental understanding of the underlying physics and pave the way for a paradigm shift in molecular thermodynamics. By employing a synergistic combination of infrared spectroscopic measurements, quantum chemical calculations, and molecular dynamics simulations, I will go beyond current boundaries and innovate advanced analytical methods to quantify critical structural information that will be used in the development and evaluation of molecular thermodynamic models and theories. I will pioneer the development of a two-state theory for association interactions, explicitly accounting for diverse hydrogen-bonding structures characterized by the Gibbs energy of reactions obtained from quantum chemical calculations. We will lead the way in developing a physically consistent theory for ion-ion Coulombic interactions, unlocking the full potential of the molecular thermodynamic models and theories for electrolyte solutions. Extending beyond the established theories, we will develop novel two-state theories for generally overlooked properties, such as dielectric constant, surface tension, and electrical conductivity. We will further demonstrate how structural information and these less commonly investigated properties can be systematicall

user: Explain how 'Arctic greenhouse gas sinks: exploring coldspots of methane and nitrous oxide in the permafrost domain' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The release of greenhouse gases from the terrestrial biosphere is of global importance. The Arctic is a net source of the greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and a biogeochemically important ecosystem due to immense soil carbon and nitrogen pools and above-average warming. An observation-bias in Arctic greenhouse gas reporting towards high-emitting ‘hotspot’ sites is evident. In contrast, uptake of CH4 and N2O by Arctic soils, leading to greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere, could partially compensate for carbon and nitrogen losses and completely redefine our baseline understanding of Arctic and global greenhouse gas budgets. No consideration has been given to understanding natural CH4 and N2O sinks in the Arctic, and the complex biogeochemical mechanisms governing these ‘coldspots’.I aim to show that Arctic greenhouse gas uptake matters, and that, contrary to traditional beliefs, intricate temporal uptake patterns exist and are driven by plant and microbial functioning. COLDSPOT will fulfil the scientific need to know when, where, and why Arctic soils act as a sink for CH4 and N2O, and will identify novel mechanisms underlying Arctic greenhouse gas uptake. High-resolution, laser-based measurements of soil CH4 and N2O uptake at field sites in Canada, Greenland, and Finland will be combined with machine learning tools and in-depth studies of environmental drivers in sophisticated experimental manipulations. COLDSPOT applies a multi-scale approach combining field-based measurements of multiple gas species with climate simulation experiments in state-of-the-art climate chambers in the laboratory, and investigations ranging from the microbial scale, via soil and plant processes to ecosystem-scale models. COLDSPOT will generate new process-understan

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'EXtreme upper TAil of SEA level rise: constraints from geological records' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Sea-level rise is a major societal concern, with potential impacts on population, infrastructure and coastal environments. Coastal defence and adaptation strategies are highly dependent upon our ability to understand and predict sea-level variability, including extreme sea levels. Quantifying the upper tail probability of sea level – i.e., the risk of extremes - is therefore of high socio-economic relevance. Current projections suggest a low probability of polar ice-sheet decay scenarios, but they cannot be ruled out. Such scenarios are poorly parameterized and/or associated with large uncertainties in current projections. The ExTaSea project will address two sources of uncertainty in current projections of future sea-level: (1) our understanding of the system and, (2) the degree to which we can simulate natural variability. ExTaSea will do this by producing well quantified natural bounds on both the rate and magnitude of sea level rise (objective 1) and probability distributions that include specific information on high-end extremes for global mean and regional sea levels (objective 2). These will contribute to our understanding of these sources of uncertainty and will form the basis for policy-relevant extreme sea-level scenarios (objective 3) that account for the dynamic response of the ice sheets to climate forcing. ExTaSea will produce statistical distributions by: (1) collating and quality checking already available geological data from past time intervals of the last 200,000 years that are useful analogues for future change; (2) novel statistical techniques (e.g., modified Bayesian partition modelling) and (3) modelling of solid Earth deformation processes (GIA) that will allow absolute magnitudes of sea levels to be determined.

user: Explain how 'Ecological effects of light pollution' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The last 100 years have seen the dramatic spread of an evolutionarily unprecedented environmental change. Across huge areas, the spatial patterns and temporal cycles of light and dark that have previously remained approximately constant have been disrupted by the introduction of artificial night-time lights. This raises major concerns, given that light and dark provide critical resources and environmental conditions for organisms and play key roles in their physiology, growth, behaviour and reproduction, including the entrainment of internal biological clocks to local time. Indeed, it has long been recognised that light pollution of the night is likely to have profound consequences for the structure and functioning of populations and communities. Nonetheless, empirical studies of these effects remain wanting. This project will bring about a step change in understanding of the ecological consequences of night-time light pollution, addressing the principal question: How does the experimental manipulation of artificial night-time light influence population abundance, species composition and community structure? This will be answered using linked experimental studies. The results will have wide ramifications for understanding of the influences of rapid environmental change on population and community structure and of measures by which these can best be ameliorated.
