Measuring and Modelling Language Interactions (MeMoLI)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

Large-scale migrations result in different languages and cultures getting in contact with each other. It happened so in the past, and continues happening so in the 21st century Europe. Jewish languages, such as Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Arabic or Judeo-Italian, represent eminent examples of such linguistic and cultural interactions, and they will serve as case studies in our project.The present proje ...

Promoting Attainment of Responsible Research and Innovation in Science Education (PARRISE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The overall aim of the EC call is building up a scientifically literate society, which enables its citizens to participate in the research and innovation process as part of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This calls for democratic citizenship education, in which two educational approaches, often presented independently in schools, are integrated, viz. Inquiry-Based Science Education (IB ...

Intramolecular force mapping of enzymes in action: the role of strain in motor mechanisms (forcemap)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

A fundamental but unexplored problem in biology is whether and how enzymes use mechanical strain during their functioning. It is now evident that the knowledge of atomic structures and chemical interactions is not sufficient to understand the intricate mechanisms underlying enzyme specificity and efficiency. Several lines of evidence suggest that mechanical effects play crucial roles in enzyme act ...

"A new, ground based data-assimilative modeling of the Earth's plasmasphere - a critical contribution to Radiation Belt modeling for Space Weather purposes" (PLASMON)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"The security of space assets are affected by the high-energy charged particle environment in the radiation belts. The controlling principal source and loss mechanisms in the radiation belts are not yet completely understood. During a geomagnetic storm the length of time during which space assets are in danger is determined by the loss mechanisms, particularly by relativistic electron precipitatio ...

From discrete to contimuous: understanding discrete structures through continuous approximation (DISCRETECONT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Important methods and results in discrete mathematics arise from the interaction between discrete mathematics and ``continuous'' areas like analysis or geometry. Classical examples of this include topological methods, linear and semidefinite optimization generating functions and more. More recent areas stressing this connection are the theory of limit objects of growing sequences of finite structu ...

QCD thermodynamics on the lattice (QCDthermo)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and non-zero density describes phenomena relevant to the early universe and heavy-ion collisions. The applicability of perturbation theory is limited to large temperatures and densities. We plan to use lattice simulations to study QCD thermodynamics. There are different regularizations of QCD on the lattice. The computationally most effective one ...

On the reduction of health effects from combined exposure to indoor air pollutants in modern offices (OFFICAIR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"Modern offices usually have several sorts of electronic equipment and other dominant heat sources indoors, making them almost unaffected by local climatic conditions. Air conditioning and mechanical ventilation coupled with the often excessive levels of artificial lighting, require high levels of energy. At the European Union (EU) level, the Directive 91/2002, (EPBD), is a major step towards rati ...

Nanoelectronics: Concepts, Theory and Modelling (NanoCTM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The NanoCTM network will tackle major challenges in the theory of nanoelectronics. Ten internationally-leading European theory-of-condensed-matter groups from nine different countries [including one of Europe’s leading industrial electronics-research groups (QinetiQ)] have joined forces as full participants, combining theoretical expertise in nanowires, quantum dots, carbon-based electronics, and ...

Reconciliation of essential process parameters for an enhanced predictability of arctic stratospheric ozone loss and its climate interactions (RECONCILE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The extent of polar stratospheric ozone loss – often referred to as the “Ozone Hole” – is significantly influenced by climate change, and in turn, stratospheric ozone has been recognized as an important component in the climate system. To accurately quantify the effects of climate change on stratospheric ozone and the related feedback mechanisms, as well as to make reliable predictions of future o ...

Enhancing Access and Services To East European users towards an efficient and coordinated panEuropean pool of NMR capacities to enable global collaborative research & boost technological advancements (EAST-NMR)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

"Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key technology for research in the modern Life Sciences, with an increasing impact on human health. This technology is unique in new areas of molecular systems biology providing detailed insight into protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions. NMR Research Infrastructures (RIs) are of primary importance here; they offer the resources necessa ...

LIving with Robots and intEractive Companions (LIREC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

LIREC aims to establish a multi-faceted (memory, emotions, cognition, communication, learning, etc.) theory of artificial long-term companions, embody it in robust and innovative technology, verify the theory and technology experimentally in real social environments, and provide resulting guidelines for designing such companions. Whether as robots, social toys or graphical and mobile synthetic cha ...

Integration of emerging soft nanotechnology into the functionalisation of textiles (NANOBOND)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

One key area of the European textile industry is the technical development of products and processes for reducing contamination and the removal of stains of all kinds from manufactured articles, including textiles. To a large part this is necessary for keeping up performance and function, often for health reasons, although sometimes this is for purely aesthetic effects. Thus, easy-to-clean, soil r ...

Trap for the novel control of horse-flies on open-air fields (TabaNOid)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Haematophagous females of tabanid flies inflict painful bites on horses, livestock and even people. Apart from the nuisance Tabanid fly presence lead to serious economic consequences. The blood loss of farm animals can reach up to 200-300 cm3 per day, which results in weakening and occasional death in livestock. Through interfering with animal’s natural grazing behaviour it also causes reduced pro ...

Functional assays for membrane protein on nanostructured supports (ASMENA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

More than 50% of all drug targets are membrane proteins; new research tools to screen function of membrane drug targets are therefore expected to open up new avenues for original drug development. The proposed project addresses the need of the pharmaceutical industry for new technologies for reliable and efficient screening of membrane proteins as drug targets. Most critical current aspects of mem ...

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

Experimentally driven research is key to success in today's Internet. Many test beds support research and development, and product prototyping in communication networks. However, they tend to specialise in particular access technologies or services, or explore near term product offerings, often with limited availability and openness. An open and sustainable large-scale shared experimental facility ...
