EQualIS : Enhancing the Quality of Interacting Systems (EQUALIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

The ubiquitous use of computerized systems, and their increasingcomplexity, demand formal evidences of their correctness. Whilecurrent formal-verification techniques have already been applied to anumber of case studies, they are not sufficient yet to fully analyzeseveral aspects of complex systems such as communication networks,embedded systems or industrial controllers. There are three important ...

The Milking Revolution in Temperate Neolithic Europe (NeoMILK)

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

This project explores the introduction and spread of cattle-based agriculture by Neolithic Linearbandkeramik (LBK) farmers and its implications for modelling of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Northern and Central Europe beginning ca. 8,000 years ago. This revolutionary shift in human subsistence strategy completely reshaped prehistoric European culture, biology and economy, in ways which u ...

Novel Complex Metal Hydrides for Efficient and Compact Storage of Renewable Energy as Hydrogen and Electricity (ECOSTORE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Finding novel solutions for energy storage is of high societal relevance, since it is a prerequisite for the turnaround from fossil fuels and nuclear power to energy from renewable sources, since these sources mostly are intermittent. Also for providing an ecological friendly mobility, high capacity energy storage solutions are urgently needed. Well trained experts in energy storage are a prerequi ...

From Babylon to Baghdad: Toward a History of the Herbal in the Near East (FLORIENTAL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Recent publications such as Sylvain Gouguenheim s Aristote au Mont Saint Michel (2008) have called into question the role played by Near Eastern (and especially Arab and Muslim) scholars in the transmission of Greek philosophical, scientific and medical knowledge from antiquity to the middle ages. At the very heart of this problem is the translation movement sponsored by the ¿Abb sid caliphs and ...

Plotinus against Gnostics: a New Survey (PaGaNS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

The PaGaNS project aims to prepare, in 2 years, a new constitution of the text and a new thorough philological commentary to three Plotinian anti-Gnostic treatises (III.8 [30], V.8 [31], V.5 [32]). Since the philological research on Plotinus’ works has been neglected after Henry – Schwyzer’s ed. minor (1982), there is still much scope for philological analysis in the Enneads. It is unavoidable to ...

Power quality in coastal smart grids (SMARTWAVE)

Start date: Jan 5, 2015, End date: Jan 4, 2017,

Although almost half of the European population lives in coastal areas, the specific issues associated with the dramatic transformation of the coastal electrical networks into smart grids have been little addressed. These issues stem from the fact that coastal electrical networks are usually more structurally fragile than inland electrical networks. Hence, the former are more prone to be affected ...

General-Purpose Programmable Evolution Machine on a Chip (EVOPROG)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Despite recent advances in in vivo directed evolution techniques and the interest they have attracted so far, their impact in applied biotechnology is limited because of their limitations in programmability, selective drivers, cost and scalability. Here, we propose to construct a general-purpose programmable evolution machine able to quickly evolve new biomolecules or phenotypes in bacterial cells ...

Territories, Communities and Exchanges in the Sino-Tibetan Kham Borderlands (China) (KHAM)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

This research project will focus on the area of the Sino-Tibetan borderlands situated within the People’s Republic of China, and referred to as Kham by Tibetans who make up most of the population of this region divided between the provinces of Sichuan to the east, Yunnan to the south and the Tibet Autonomous Region to the west. This research project intends to explore from a comparative perspectiv ...

Assisted Migration of Forests as a climate change economic mitigation strategy (AMECO)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Nov 19, 2015,

Adapting forests to climate change in a sustainable way is one of the most difficult challenges faced by scientists because of the uncertainty of climate change, and the pressures imposed to managers to act today that cannot be ignored. The main purpose of our proposal is to provide new ecological, economic and legal tools to address adaptation and mitigation of forests to climate change at the na ...

Origin and function of nonrandom cortical connectivities (Nonrandom Circuits)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Recent neurophysiological experiments have revealed the existence of nonrandom connectivity patterns in the cortex of rats. These patterns consist of certain connectivity structures that appear more often than one would expect if neurons were randomly connected. An example of such departure from randomness is the prevalence of pairs of neurons reciprocally connected. Another example is the overrep ...
