The Principle of Disruption. A Figure Reflecting Complex Societies (Disruption)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"""Disruption"" is presented as a starting point for the analysis of formulas of societal self-description. Since the increasing susceptibility of complex societies to disruption cannot be managed solely by technology and the social sciences, it is necessary to develop a new form of cultural criticism which critically reflects on the interaction of societal sub-systems. Therefore, the objects to b ...

Thermochemical Energy Storage for Concentrated Solar Power Plants (TCSPower)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
The overall objective of the TCSPower project is to realise a new, efficient, reliable and economic thermochemical energy storage (TCS) for concentrated solar power plants which has the capability to contribute significantly to further cost reduction of regenerative electricity production. This will be achieved by applying reversible gas-solid reactions. Dissociation of calcium hydroxide is used f ...

Integrated Quantum Information Technology (iQIT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
IQIT will develop and demonstrate novel routes towards scaling up physical devices for quantum in-formation science (QIS). Communication between different parts of a quantum processor by means of a quantum bus will receive particular attention. Developing a scalable technology will be pursued by first advancing two successful solid-state and atom-optical devices, namely A) arrays of superconductin ...

Active wound dressings based on biological mimicry (BacterioSafe)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
The aim of the Bacteriosafe consortium is to construct, test and develop a unique active wound dressing, which incorporates novel colourimetric sensor and active therapeutic processes for detecting and counteracting pathogenic bacteria in wounds. The inspiration for this project is the natural nano-biological mechanism of bacterial attack on healthy cells. The outer cell walls are ruptured by an a ...

A quantitative model of thrombosis in intracranial aneurysms (THROMBUS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
Rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms (IA) has been studied at length. However, very little is known about the healing mechanism, namely the formation of a clot inside the cavity after insertion of a stent. The multiscale interaction between biological and hemodynamic processes is the central ingredient of this proposal. The core of the project is to develop and validate a biological model of spo ...

The physics of Ion Coulomb Crystals: Thermodynamics, Quantum control, and Quantum Simulators (PICC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
In the quest for the realization of quantum information processors, trapped ions occupy a prominent position. The challenge of realizing large-scale processors and quantum simulators based on ions will, however, require that one deals with more complex structures, which may include mesoscopic ordered ion ensembles, i.e., ion Coulomb crystals. In this regime, it is expected that the effect of noise ...

Trusted computing Engineering for Resource constrained Embedded Systems Application (TERESA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
The objective of TERESA is to define, demonstrate and validate an engineering discipline for trust that is adapted to resource constrained embedded systems. We define trust as the degree with which security and dependability requirements are met.Resource constrained embedded systems are characterized as follows:\tThey belong to different application sectors\tComputing resource are mostly statica ...

Open VEhiculaR SEcurE platform (OVERSEE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
The next generation of intelligent vehicular information and communication technology (ICT) applications for advanced traffic management, active vehicle safety, or the "green" electric car strongly depends on the availability of an ICT infrastructure combining both dependability and security attributes. Thus, future intelligent vehicles (i) have to provide an appropriate wireless access point to t ...
