Multi-Agent Systems and Secured coupling of Telecom and EnErgy gRIds for Next Generation smartgrid services (MAS2TERING)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

The success of the European vision of a low carbon electricity grid that minimises greenhouse gas emissions; and enhances security, quality and reliability of supply depends on how smart infrastructures, combining energy and telecom, are developed and implemented for the wider integration of security-aware distributed energy resources into the increasingly decentralised grid. MAS2TERING, a 3-year ...

Improving prediction of the triggering of bipolar disorder episodes by childbirth (Postpartum BiD)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Bipolar disorder is a leading cause of disability and death in women of childbearing age and episodes of bipolar disorder immediately following childbirth are common and clinically important. With its discrete, identifiable trigger, bipolar disorder triggered by childbirth represents a unique opportunity for risk prediction modeling in psychiatry.Genetic variants have been robustly implicated in t ...

From Credit Crunch to Austerity Europe: how news narratives on the financial crisis are continually shifting and what this means for democracy (News Flow)

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

News narratives on the financial crisis are continually shifting. In the UK, emphasis seems to have moved from a “credit crunch” to a “banking crisis” to a “sovereign debt crisis” to a “Eurozone crisis”, all since 2007. Indeed, one of the defining features of the news is its “flow”. The thousands of individual news items on particular topics being produced at every moment interact to form overarch ...

The molecular basis for the ability of PLC zeta to stimulate mammalian embryo development (ZETA-STIM)

Start date: Sep 10, 2014, End date: Sep 9, 2016,

"Oocyte activation is the earliest step of embryonic development following mammalian fertilization and is triggered by a characteristic series of cytoplasmic Ca2+ transients, known as Ca2+ oscillations. Over the last decade, growing evidence indicates that the physiological agent responsible for the generation of Ca2+ oscillations and subsequent oocyte activation is a sperm-specific isoform of pho ...

Sustainable Chemistry with Iodine Reagents (SUSCIR)

Start date: Jul 3, 2014, End date: Jul 2, 2016,

Hypervalent iodine reagents allow transformations under very mild reaction conditions. They are not only environmentally friendly oxidizing agents used in a wide range of transformations, but can also serve in highly selective asymmetric transformations which can be easily achieved using these reagents. The development of novel asymmetric metal-free transformations will lead to novel and powerful ...

Role and function of olfaction in Seabirds (BIRDSCENTS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Sensory ecology, bird olfaction and emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are unexplored fields of research. However, recent studies provided evidence that olfaction plays a fundamental role in the avian ecology, especially in hypogean petrels. Petrels are known to return to the same nest with the same partner in the same colony each year. Latest investigations strongly suggest that the b ...

Network of Excellence in Internet Science (EINS)

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

The goal of EINS is coordinating and integrating European research aimed at achieving a deeper multidisciplinary understanding of the development of the Internet as a societal and technological artefact, whose evolution is increasingly interwined with that of human societies. Its main objective is to allow an open and productive dialogue between all the disciplines which study Internet systems und ...

High Performance Insulation based on Nanostructure encapsulation of air (HIPIN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

The concept of High Performance Insulation Based on Nanostructured Encapsulation of Air (HIPIN), described in this proposal, is to develop a sustainable and affordable technology to produce a nanostructured thermal insulating coating to improve thermal efficiency in new and retrofitting buildings. The insulating material will have enhanced performance compared with the state of the art products an ...
