Comparing the effectiveness of palliative care for elderly people in long term care facilities in Europe (PACE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

"Aging populations, rising costs and sustainable delivery of high-quality care are increasingly common concerns in all EU countries. PACE aims to perform comparative effectiveness research concerning palliative care in long term care facilities (LTCFs) in Europe. While a growing number of older people will require palliative care in institutionalized settings, palliative care has only recently beg ...

Novel Saints. Ancient novelistic heroism in the hagiography of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages (NOVELSAINTS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

"The novel is today the most popular literary genre worldwide. Its early history has not been written yet. In order to enhance our understanding of this history (both conceptually and cross-culturally), this project offers the first comprehensive reconstruction and interpretation of the persistence of ancient novelistic material in hagiographical narrative traditions in the Mediterranean in Late A ...

"The Evolution of Case, Alignment and Argument Structure in Indo-European" (EVALISA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"Alignment and argument structure lies at the heart of all current theoretical models in linguistics, both syntactic models and research within typology. In spite of that, no large-scale comprehensive study of the historical development of case marking and argument structure has been carried out in modern times, using modern linguistic approaches and frameworks, and covering an entire language fam ...

Sucrose Synthase as Cost-Effective Mediator of Glycosylation Reactions (SUSY)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Glycosyl transferases (GT) are extremely efficient biocatalysts that can be used for the synthesis of special carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. Famous examples of such products include human milk oligosaccharides that serve as prebiotics, and glycosides of flavonoids with improved stability and solubility. Unfortunately, the large-scale application of GT has been hampered by their low operational ...

Green fertilizer upcycling from manure: Technological, economic and environmental sustainability demonstration (ManureEcoMine)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

European pigs and cows jointly produce about 1.27 billion tonnes of manure per year, a largely unexploited resource of organic carbon and nutrients, and therefore an exquisite ‘mining’ opportunity. ManureEcoMine proposes an integrated approach to the treatment and reuse of animal husbandry waste in nitrate vulnerable and sensitive areas and beyond, by applying the eco-innovative principles of sust ...

"Acquiring extremely high resolution maps of water use efficiency of Australian forests to assess the effects of drought, species composition and stand structure." (EXTREWAFOR)

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

"Instantaneous ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE), the ratio of gross primary production (GPP) to evapotranspiration (ET), is an important integral trait of plant and ecosystem productivity and a key variable for modelling and understanding the impact of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Unfortunately, the influence of climate change on ecosystem WUE is difficult to predict, because the ...

Small Wind Turbine for Urban Environments (WINDUR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,

As SMEs in the supply chain of small Wind Turbines (WTs), we have identified an excellent opportunity in the urban submarket. The Small Wind market mainly corresponds to turbines installed in rural and isolated areas. Nevertheless, Urban is by far the largest potential market, as 80% of European population lives in cities and the EU Directive 2010/31/EU on Energy Performance of Buildings requires ...

Use of Microorganisms for Carotenoids Delivery: Next Generation of Probiotics for Cardiovascular Disease (CARODEL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

CARODEL aims to valorise the results from the previous FP7 COLORSPORE project, in which initial isolation and characterization work was performed on Bacillus strains producing gastric-stable carotenoids. As the stability in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), antioxidant activity and bioavailability of particular Bacillus carotenoids was shown to be higher than those of common dietary carotenoids, t ...

Control of imitation and social cognition: the interaction of motor mirroring and Theory of Mind (MIRRORING AND TOM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Recent work based on ideomotor theory and the discovery of the mirror neuron system has suggested that the observation of an action is associated with the activation of the corresponding motor representation in the observer. In accordance with this hypothesis it has been demonstrated that observing an action interferes with one’s own actions when these are different from those being observed. Thi ...
