Private Pieties, Mundane Islam and New Forms of Muslim Religiosity: Impact on Contemporary Social and Political Dynamics (PrivatePieties)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

Muslim societies have been impacted since the 19th century by far-reaching processes of social and economic change as well as the development of an array of both Islamist and counter-Islamist movements. The present research project proposes to focus on Muslims whose ideas of piety are characterized by their private and individualistic character: they maintain that their piety is not subject to scr ...

Oxygen flux measurements as a new tracer for the carbon and nitrogen cycles in terrestrial ecosystems (OXYFLUX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

Atmospheric oxygen (O2) measurements have proven to be one of the most powerful tools to study the carbon cycle at global scale, quantifying the carbon dioxide (CO2) sink of terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. At ecosystem level, O2 is closely related to CO2 through photosynthesis and respiration, and is influenced by sources of nitrogen during plant uptake. O2 thus carries valuable information abo ...

Illuminating aptamers and ribozymes for biomolecular tagging and fluorogen activation (illumizymes)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

RNAs are linear biopolymers that consist of only four types of building blocks, but can fold into complex three-dimensional structures that are endowed with selective, high-affinity ligand-binding abilities known as aptamers, and catalytic activities known as ribozymes. Genome projects have brought the surprising insight that a large part of the human genome is transcribed into RNAs, but only a ve ...

Predictive Neural Information for Proactive Actions: From Monkey Brain to Smart House Control (Plan4Act)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Planning and mental simulation of actions and outcomes are a major cognitive trait of humans. We predict action consequences and perform goal-directed actions in proactive, forward-looking ways. By contrast, systems that lack predictive planning are reactive and dominated by reflex-like, cumbersome behaviors. Most currently existing brain-machine-interfaces (BMI) fall into this category. Plan4Act ...
