"KNOWING FROM THE INSIDE: ANTHROPOLOGY, ART, ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN" (KFI)

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

"This project promises to reconfigure the relation between the practice of academic inquiry in the human sciences and the knowledge to which it gives rise. Conventional research protocols expect the scholar to treat the world as reserve from which to draw empirical material for subsequent interpretation in light of appropriate theory. Against this, we will establish and trial an alternative proced ...

HYDRODYNAMIC TRANSPORT IN ECOLOGICALLY CRITICAL HETEROGENEOUS INTERFACES (HYTECH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Physical, biochemical and ecological processes in natural water bodies have been the subject of intense research over the past decades by scientists of different expertise. Environmental studies related to natural water bodies are a relatively new area of research, spanning over no more than fifty years. The dawning of environmental studies in the late 20th century has seen developments mainly con ...

Understanding food-gut-brain mechanisms across the lifespan in the regulation of hunger and satiety for health (Full4Health)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Full4Health is a multidisciplinary European collaboration of internationally renowned laboratories investigating the mechanisms of hunger, satiety and feeding behaviour, effects of dietary components and food structure on these processes, and their possible exploitation in addressing obesity, chronic disease and under-nutrition. The proposal integrates investigation of both human volunteers (dieta ...

Developing and Evaluating Communication strategies to support Informed Decisions and practice based on Evidence (DECIDE)

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

Objective: To improve the dissemination of evidence-based recommendations by building on the work of the GRADE Working Group to develop and evaluate methods that address the targeted dissemination of guidelines.Background: Healthcare decision makers face challenges in understanding guidelines, including the quality of the evidence upon which recommendations are made, which often is not clear. Gui ...

Linking the clock to metabolism (TiMet)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Optimal plant growth requires the orchestration of carbon metabolism over the day-night cycle, to avoid periods of starvation at night. Metabolism and growth at night are fueled by carbohydrates released by degradation of starch, synthesised from photosynthesis in the preceding day. Starch synthesis and degradation are regulated such that starch reserves are almost but not quite exhausted at the e ...

Mapping the brain with PET radiolabeled cannabinoid (CB1) ligands (PET BRAIN)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,

"The development of innovative technology for the introduction of PET-radionuclides (18F, 11C, etc.) in organic compounds, as well as the identification of new radiolabeled molecules suitable for being used as PET tracers is one of the priorities in the areas of Applied Chemistry and Medical Technologies. First objective of this project is the identification of novel radiolabeled CB1 (cannabinoid) ...

Assessing the impact of fee exemption on maternal health in West Africa and Morocco: new tools, new knowledge (FEMHealth)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

There is a growing consensus that maternal health outcomes can only be improved through policies and programmes that combine interventions to address the different causes of ill health and target multiple groups. Such policies and programmes are complex in nature as they involve coordination between different tiers in the health system and multiple actors including communities, health workers and ...

Increasing Sustainability of European Forests: Modelling for Security Against Invasive Pests and Pathogens under Climate Change (ISEFOR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"European forests are under unprecedented threat from the combined forces of climate change and large increases in the numbers of alien invasive pests and pathogens resulting from changes in patterns of global trade. Interactions between climate change, including likely changes in both mean temperatures and precipitation, will have serious impacts on the susceptibility of forest ecosystems to dama ...

Studying Developmental, Neural, Cognitive and Affective Aspects of the Self in Humans (Self)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

This project will investigate the cognitive, affective, neural and developmental basis of the Human self. In particular it will investigate reflexive, unconscious aspects of the self, and how these impact upon Human cognition. The proposal seeks to employ cognitive neuroscience methods (EEG and fMRI) as well as other physiological markers (Galvanic Skin Response – GSR) together with studies on neu ...

Does plant C regulate the decomposition of soil organic matter by ericoid mycorrhizal fungi? (ERICARB)

Start date: May 5, 2010, End date: Jul 4, 2013,

"A major determinant of climate change is the rate at which carbon (C) accumulates in soils and whether they will switch from being a sink to a source. This depends on the fate of the C contained in soil organic matter (SOM), which is released into the atmosphere mostly through the activity of soil saprotrophic microbes. Recent circumstantial evidence suggests that mycorrhizal fungi (MF), symbiont ...

Sexual selection under changing conditions and environments (SUCCESS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

"Sexual selection has been largely assumed to be static and to always favour the most exaggerated trait. However, changes in the ecological or social environment can modify the strength and direction of sexual selection (e.g. favouring flexibility in female preferences). Unfortunately, how sexual selection and environmental variability interact is still poorly understood as evidence is scarce and ...

WORKCARE SYNERGIES - Dissemination of Synthesized Framework Programme Research Findings (WCS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"WORKCARE SYNERGIES is a support action with the aim of disseminating research findings of previous EU Framework Programme projects in the field of work-care. Our dissemination scheme is based on the concept of local key mediator teams, which are based in each of the seven countries where dissemination will take place and the mediator teams consist of local researchers, knowledge transfer and comm ...
