AUTONOMOUS CLOUD-COMPUTING VINEYARD ROBOT TO OPTIMISE YIELD MANAGEMENT AND WINE QUALITY (VINBOT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

VinBot responds to a need to boost the quality of European wines by implementing precision viticulture (PV) tools in the face of serious market threats worldwide and structural shortcomings within the EU wine sector. Wine producer associations have no control over yield management throughout their members’ vineyards, which leads to reduced quality wine at the association level. At the vineyard lev ...

Characterization of Structural Behaviour for High Frequency Phenomena (CRASHING)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The use of composite materials as principal structural elements in an aircraft requires the complete understanding of their mechanical properties. In particular, when structure is subjected to high frequency loading conditions (i.e. low and high energy impacts) phenomena as wave propagation, strain rate dependences, delaminations and rupture need to be fully understood. This is crucial to obtain c ...

Adaptive Strategies to Mitigate the Impacts of Climate Change on European Freshwater Ecosystems (REFRESH)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

Understanding how freshwater ecosystems will respond to future climate change is essential for the development of policies and implementation strategies needed to protect aquatic and riparian ecosystems. The future status of freshwater ecosystems is however, also dependent on changes in land-use, pollution loading and water demand. In addition the measures that need to be taken to restore freshwat ...

NOTCH SIGNALING IN DEVELOPMENT AND PATHOLOGY (NotchIT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Eight partners from six different EU countries will converge in NotchIT, a multi-site ITN aimed to increase the knowledge of cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Notch signaling regulates the development and pathology of different tissues. Notch signaling plays a key role in cell-fate determination and differentiation of various cell types and aberrant Notch signaling is associated with path ...
