Light Field Imaging and Analysis (LIA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

One of the most fundamental challenges in computer vision is to reliably establish correspondence - how to match a location in one image to its counterpart in another. It lies at the heart of numerous important problems, for example stereo, optical flow, tracking and the reconstruction of scene geometry from several photographs. The most popular approaches to solve these problems are based on the ...

Inorganic surfactants with multifunctional heads (I-SURF)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

"Surfactants are molecules of enormous scientific and technological importance, which are widely used as detergents, emulsifiers or for the preparation of diverse nanostructures. Fascinating abilities regarding the formation of self-organized structures, like micelles or liquid crystals, originate from their amphiphilic architecture, which comprises a polar head group linked to a hydrophobic chain ...

The hidden sulfur cycle in freshwater wetlands: an eco-systems biology approach to identify and characterize major microbial players (Wetland-EcoSysBiol)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Freshwater wetlands are a major source of the greenhouse gas methane but can also act as carbon sink, storing currently more than one third of the terrestrial organic carbon. Understanding their intertwined biogeochemistry and microbiology is therefore indispensable to foresee their influence to positive and negative climate feedback cycles. This proposal aims to elucidate the identity and ecophys ...

Comparative genomics of parallel evolution in repeated adaptive radiations (GenAdap)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Darwin suggested that natural selection not only leads to adaptation but also promotes the origin of species. Ecological speciation acts through divergent natural selection and one of the most informative circumstances in which one can investigate how adaptive traits and how species evolve – and what the genetic basis of species differences and adaptations are - are repeated adaptive radiations th ...

Ultrafast Quantum Physics in Amplitude and Phase (UltraPhase)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Ultrafast phenomena related to and/or accessible only via the absolute temporal phase of electronic, vibrational and spin coherent excitations in condensed matter are studied via electromagnetic transients in the multi-terahertz regime. The project also includes innovative aspects of quantum optics, femtosecond lasers and terahertz technology. Four central objectives are as follows:(i) Establishin ...

Co-morbidity in relation to Aids (COBRA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

Persons with HIV on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) are at increased risk of the premature development of age-associated non-communicable comorbidities (AANCC), including cardiovascular, chronic kidney, liver and pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, non-AIDS associated malignancies, and neurocognitive impairment. It has therefore been hypothesised that such individuals, de ...

Indeterminism Ltd.: An intervention on the free will debate (INDETERMINISMLTD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

What is the place of man in nature? How do our everyday conceptions of ourselves and the things around us connect with a scientific picture of the world? These questions loom large in the background of the free will debate. We understand ourselves as free agents facing an open future – but is this a tenable picture vis-à-vis scientific findings? Conceptual as well as empirical neuroscientific argu ...

Narratives of Terror and Disappearance. Fantastic Dimensions of Argentina' s Collective Memory since the Military Dictatorship (NOT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Terror and its social and cultural effects are the most unspeakable and traumatic facts of the 20th and 21st centuries. The two-fold argument is that terror a) operates and perpetuates itself by means of fantastic narratives, and b) is one of the characteristic elements evoked by the fantastic genre. This project seeks to investigate the interdependency of fantastic narrative and the historical ph ...

Integrating high performance mass spectrometry tools with application in life science (MSLIFE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Recent advances of biopolymer mass spectrometry - first highlighted by the Nobel Prize-awarded “soft ionization” methods - have opened new applications in life sciences, such as the identification of proteins from complex biological material (proteomics). A number of high performance mass spectrometry technologies and hyphenated separation methods have become amenable; however, their efficient e ...
