Impact of Biogenic versus Anthropogenic emissions on Clouds and Climate: towards a Holistic UnderStanding (BACCHUS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

Clouds are a very important, yet not well understood feedback factor in climate change and they contribute to the effective radiative forcing (ERF) from aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI). The uncertainty in ERFaci is larger than for any other forcing agent. Also, feedbacks between the terrestrial and marine biosphere and the atmosphere involving ACI are thought to play an important role in regulati ...

CAtastrophic Shifts in drylands: how CAn we prevent ecosystem DEgradation? (CASCADE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

The aim of CASCADE is to obtain a better understanding of sudden ecosystem shifts that may lead to major losses in biodiversity and ecosystem services, and to define measures that can be used to prevent such shifts. The focus of CASCADE is explicitly on drylands as being one of the most fragile and threatened ecosystems in Europe. CASCADE will investigate the historical evolution of dryland ecosys ...

Innovative Reuse of All Tyre Components in Concrete (ANAGENNISI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

An estimated one billion tyres are discarded each year. Post-Consumer tyre arisings for EU countries (2010) are 3.4M tonnes per year. At the moment nearly 50% of all recycled tyres/components still end up as fuel, in low grade applications or in landfill.All tyre constituents (rubber, high strength steel cord and wire, high strength textile reinforcement) are high quality materials and deserve to ...

Printed Logic for Applications of Screen Matrix Activation Systems (PLASMAS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The EU has lost a significant share of the electronics manufacture sector to the Far East, resulting in a negative trade balance of >€100bn/year within this sector. This is (in part) due to the current manufacturing technologies that are based on subtractive processing that are expensive, wasteful and energy intensive, making manufacture in the EU economically and environmentally unfeasible. Print ...

Efficient Routing in the Internet and other Complex Networks using Hyperbolic Metric Spaces (ComplexNetRouting)

Start date: Jan 3, 2011, End date: Jan 2, 2015,

The lack of predictive power over complex systems,either designed by humans or evolved by nature, is afoundational problem in contemporary science. The Internetoffers a paradigmatic example: nothing in its architecture anddesign explains its complex large-scale structure, unexpectedlydiscovered decades after its inception. We face an unsettlingtruth: the Internet has acquired emergent properties t ...
