    Literature knows a lot about attention – how it is gained and retained, how it is mastered and manipulated. As such it can contribute significantly to current research in interdisciplinary attention studies, transform debates about attentional crises, and offer deep insight into attention regimes we live by. LitAttention explores this fundamentally under-researched knowledge domain of literature about attention and attention politics by analysing ‘literary attention’ in short fiction. As LitAttention will show, short fiction does not only cater to short(er) attention spans: its development was driven by attention anxieties and struggles for attention control, which responded to technological innovation, new streams of information, the rise of attention studies, changing modes of reading, growing concerns about the limits of human attentional capacities, and intensifying struggles for attention sovereignty. Integrating approaches from educational psychology, computational linguistics, and literary and cultural studies, LitAttention has four key objectives. It will (1) examine the various ways in which short fiction has been shaped by but also shaped discourses on attention and attention management; (2) analyse the poetics and politics of attention in short fiction by identifying syntactic, semantic, and narrative strategies that elicit attention, and assess how these narratives reflect upon, support, or subvert attention regimes of their time; (3) develop (transferable) methodological and conceptual frameworks for examining literary attention; (4) introduce the important role of literary attention for education. The project is the first to conceptualize literary attention and propose a networked approach for its analysis. Its results will reveal the crucial role of short fiction in changing ecosystems of attention, have a deep impact on education, and change the way in which scholars, teachers, and the general public approach the knowledge and value of short fiction.

    Remote sensing of the troposphere with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provides observations of spatial and temporal resolution higher than any other technique and operates under all weather conditions. The main product of GNSS meteorology, the zenith troposphere delay (ZTD), can be assimilated into numerical weather prediction (NWP) models in order to improve forecasting. The troposphere is also a major error source in GNSS positioning and a limiting factor for Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) observations. Both techniques are commonly used for hazard warning systems, which raise the demand for reliable real-time (RT) ZTD models. Accuracy and timely provision of ZTD estimates is limited by the quality and latency of satellite orbit and clock products. In 2013, the International GNSS Service started to provide RT products for GNSS, thus opening new possibilities for GNSS meteorology. Preliminary results revealed absolute accuracies of RT ZTDs of less than 30 mm, which is better than any other existing ZTD model available in RT. In order to further improve the quality of RT GNSS ZTD models we will make use of emerging GNSS, modify functional and stochastic models for data processing and provide sophisticated RT products i.e. troposphere gradients and slant delays. We will apply novel approaches in order to improve GNSS monitoring and correct InSAR observations, with the goal to better support RT earthquake and landslide warning systems. The aim of this project is to develop a high-quality RT GNSS model of the troposphere on two scales: dense regional (Germany, Poland) and sparse continental (Europe). The host at the University of Stuttgart, has vast experience in the development of next-generation positioning, navigation and timing solutions, and can provide the crucial infrastructure for this project. Secondments at the German Meteorological Service and the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy will provide additional trainings.

    CA³TCH considers the full external aerodynamic behaviour of a compound rotorcraft to be developed. Aerodynamics -- and aeroacoustics as well -- have to be investigated by full-featured simulations including coupling to structural simulation and flight mechanics. This “Digital Wind Tunnel” approach examines the performance of the projected aircraft long before first hardware exists. This allows to differentiate various alternatives as well as to drive the design process according to the detailed analysis of the flow field. The primary goal of the project is to establish the simulation technology required to support productively the aerodynamic design and development of LifeRCraft, from rough estimates to detailed design and analysis at different flight states, until the point of first flight. Additionally, beyond the specific economic application to this compound configuration, the project will significantly improve the ability of helicopter simulations to answer particular questions in the development process, regarding aerodynamic or aeroacoustic optimisation, flight mechanics properties and even handling qualities to a certain extent. Publication and dissemination efforts will spread this enhanced capability to related areas, from fixed wings to wind turbines, just to name a few. CA³TCH starts with some necessary tool enhancements and continues with the application to increasingly complex, detailed and refined configuration models. Afterwards, not only large-scale simulations will be run, rather a very large part of the project´s added value consists of the rigorous analysis and interpretation of the results obtained.

    Phase diagrams have revolutionized materials development by providing the conditions for phase stabilities and transformations, and thereby a thorough thermodynamic understanding of materials design. However, the majority of today’s phase diagrams are based on scarce experimental input and often rely on daring extrapolations. Every multicomponent phase diagram relies on a fragile set of phase stabilities as very recent studies show. Materials 4.0 will change this. It will raise materials design to the next level by providing a highly accurate first principles thermodynamic database. First principles, alias ab initio, approaches do not require any experimental input and can operate where no experiment is able to reach. However, they have been limited to zero Kelvin or low temperature approximations which are not representative of phase diagrams. Materials 4.0 reaches far beyond this by utilizing my unique expertise in high-accuracy finite-temperature ab initio simulations. We will develop novel methods accelerated by machine learning potentials that facilitate a highly efficient determination of Gibbs free energies and migration barriers including all relevant finite-temperature excitation mechanisms. The methodology will be implemented in an easy-to-use open-source integrated development environment and made accessible to the community. Materials 4.0 will consider materials relevant to current scientific developments and of technological interest, such as hydrides, lightweight alloys, superalloys, MAX phases, and high entropy alloys. A large ab initio thermodynamic database will be computed for elements across the periodic table. The main focus will be on phase stabilities of various phases, including dynamically unstable ones, and importantly liquids as well; all fully from ab initio. The phase stabilities will be put into practice by re-parametrizing binary phase diagrams and studying the implications on multicomponent phase diagrams.
