Standardization and Development of Assays for Assessment of Influenza Vaccines Correlates of Protection (FLUCOP)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 29, 2020,
Background: Influenza viruses cause annual epidemic and occasional pandemics, both of which induce significant morbidity and mortality. Influenza infections affect all age groups but children and adults over the age of 65 are at most risk of developing severe disease.Vaccination is the most effective approach to reduce the impact of annual influenza outbreaks and potential pandemics, however, the ...

Development trajectories of temperate forest plant communities under global change: combining hindsight and forecasting (PASTFORWARD) (PASTFORWARD)
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,
"The last decades are characterized by an upsurge of research on the impacts of global environmental changes on forests. Climate warming, atmospheric deposition of acidifying and eutrophying pollutants and land-use change are three of the most important threats to biodiversity in temperate forests. However, most studies focused on the effects of single factors over short time periods, such that ou ...

Spatial processing under attentional load: from clinical to fMRI evidence (SPACELOAD)
Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: May 3, 2017,
Everyday life requires to continuously process the surrounding space to extract behaviourally-relevant information. When attention is loaded, however, this processing might become difficult. This happens, for instance, when space has to be attended while additional stimuli have to be processed in parallel (e.g., talking while driving). In the present project the attentional system will be loaded t ...

Modelling of human body and protective textiles for estimation of skin sensorial comfort and life risk of fire-fighters working in extreme external conditions (Magnum Bonum)
Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
The objective of this IOF project is the application of finite element method (FEM) to model a digital human body (Avatar) while wearing virtual protective textiles (PTs) in order to estimate human skin sensorial comfort and life risk conditions in varied extreme external conditions, like heat, flames.The methodological context focuses on: 1) achievement of realistic human simulation (RHS) in Abaq ...

"New uses for X-ray Tomography in natural building stones: characterization, pathologies and restoration of historical and recent roofing slates" (TOMOSLATE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"Europe is nowadays the world’s leading producer and consumer of roofing slate. Slate quarries are found in most European countries. However, despite their importance as a building stone, roofing slates are a relatively unexamined material. In comparison with other building stones, there is a lack of research and scientific publications on roofing slates.Applying expertise in X-ray micro-Computed ...

Finite and Algebraic Geometry for Error correction (FACE)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
The primary objective of the FACE project is to study and develop the connections between Coding Theory and non-linear geometric objects in Galois spaces, by using both theoretical and computational instruments. The FACE project will focus on particular types of non-linear geometric objects: arcs, (n,r)-arcs, caps, saturating sets, and algebraic varieties. These objects correspond to specific typ ...
