Balancing energy production and consumption in energy efficient smart neighbourhoods (e-balance)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Energy efficiency becomes crucial for rational consumption of the available resources and reduction of the CO2 production. But the reduction of energy consumption as the only remedy is only a partial solution. Similar, applying more environment-neutral or renewable energy sources without smart management systems may even cause failures in the energy grid or at least cause the energy to be wasted. ...

Systems microscopy – a key enabling methodology for next-generation systems biology (Systems Microscopy)

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

Biological processes occur in space and time, but current experimental methods for systems biology are limited in their ability to resolve this spatiotemporal complexity of life. In addition, traditional “omics” methods often suffer from limited sensitivity and need to average over populations of cells at the expense of cell to cell variation. Next-generation systems biology therefore requires met ...
