Clinical Translation of Patient-Specific Planning and Conduction of FUS Treatment in Moving Organs (TRANS-FUSIMO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) combines high intensity focused ultrasound for thermal ablation of diseased tissue with MR imaging to visualise the tumour and surrounding anatomy and to provide MR thermal feedback.However, MRgFUS treatment of the liver and other abdominal organs present tremendous technological challenges, including motion due to breathing and shielding of the target ...

Modeling the Emergence of Social Complexity and Order: How Individual and Societal Complexity Co-Evolve (Momentum)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2018,

This proposal develops a new perspective on social systems by combining analytical sociology with evolutionary game theory, agent-based modeling, computational social science, complexity science, and experimental research. Our focus on co-evolutionary processes will shed new light on emergent phenomena in social systems and elaborate a “social ecosystem” perspective. We will overcome problems of p ...

Compound Specific Hydrogen Isotope Analyses of Leaf Wax n-Alkanes as a Novel Tool to Assess Plant and Ecosystem Water Relations Across new Spatial and Temporal Scales (COSIWAX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Leaf wax n-alkanes are long-chained lipids that are vital components of plant cuticles. What makes leaf wax n-alkanes unique is that their stable hydrogen isotope composition (δD) contains information on precipitation and plant water relations. In addition, leaf wax n-alkanes are abundant in leaves, soils, sediments and even the atmosphere and can persist with their δD values over millions of yea ...

European Plate Observing System (EPOS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

To understand the complex Earth System requires an integrated observational strategy and infrastructure to record key diagnostic features of its dynamics. Accordingly, this infrastructure must include geographically distributed and multidisciplinary monitoring instruments and observations. The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) will meet this challenge. The proposed RI (EPOS) will create a sin ...

Network of European Research Infrastructures for Earthquake Risk Assessment and Mitigation (NERA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

"The overall aim of NERA is to achieve a measurable improvement and a long-term impact in the assessment and reduction of the vulnerability of constructions and citizens to earthquakes. NERA will integrate the key research infrastructures in Europe to monitor earthquakes and assess their hazard and risk, and will combine expertise in observational and strong-motion seismology, modeling, geotechnic ...

ViSTA-TV - Video Stream Analytics for Viewers in the TV Industry (ViSTA-TV)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2014,

Live video content is increasingly consumed over IP networks in addition to traditional broadcasting. The move to IP provides a huge opportunity to discover what people are watching in much greater breadth and depth than currently possible through interviews or set-top box based data gathering by rating organizations, because it allows direct analysis of consumer behavior via the logs they produce ...

New Multi-HAzard and MulTi-RIsK Assessment MethodS for Europe (MATRIX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Across Europe, people suffer losses not just from single hazards, but also from multiple events in combination. In both their occurrence and their consequences, different hazards are often causally related. Classes of interactions include triggered events, cascade effects, and rapid increases of vulnerability during successive hazards. Effective and efficient risk reduction, therefore, often needs ...

Mathematical Methods for Financial Risk Management (FiRM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Since the pioneering works of Black & Scholes, Merton and Markowitch, sophisticated quantitative methods are being used to introduce more complex financial products each year. However, this exciting increase in the complexity forces the industry to engage in proper risk management practices. The recent financial crisis emanating from risky loan practices is a prime example of this acute need. This ...

Drug Discovery using DNA-encoded Chemistry (DNAeCLib)

Start date: Aug 15, 2011, End date: Aug 14, 2013,

DNA-encoded based selection methods represent a novel avenue for the facile discovery of binding molecules from large libraries. Unique DNA fragments covalently attached to small molecules serve as amplifiable identification barcodes. The encoding allows the in vitro selection of ligands at sub‐picomolar concentrations from large library populations by affinity capture on a target protein of inter ...

Strengthening and development of Earth Observation activities for the environment in the Balkan area (OBSERVE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"Balkan countries do not have a coherent and continuous approach towards the challenge of implementing integrated Earth Observation (EO) applications in environmental monitoring and management. It should be mentioned that the Balkan countries, except Greece, are not ESA members. Besides, Albania, Serbia, Bulgaria, FYROM, Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina are also not members of the GEO.The defect ...

European Career of Researchers (E*CARE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

"The overall goal of the E*CARE project is cogently formulated as follows: to strengthen the services of ERA-MORE members in support of researchers’ mobility, and to enhance the collaboration among Mobility Centres with different background on the basis of shared experience, practices and tools. The wider strategic goal of the project is to support EC efforts for building a single labour market fo ...
