Global Earth Observation for integrated water resource assessment (eartH2Observe)

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

The project eartH2Observe brings together the findings from European FP projects DEWFORA, GLOWASIS, WATCH, GEOWOW and others. It will integrate available global earth observations (EO), in-situ datasets and models and will construct a global water resources re-analysis dataset of significant length (several decades). The resulting data will allow for improved insights on the full extent of availab ...

Embedded Multi-Core Systems for Mixed Criticality Applications in Dynamic and Changeable Real-Time Environments (EMC2)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Embedded systems are the key innovation driver to improve almost all mechatronic products with cheaper and even new functionalities. Furthermore, they strongly support today's information society as inter-system communication enabler.Consequently boundaries of application domains are alleviated and ad-hoc connections and interoperability play an increasing role. At the same time, multi-core and ma ...

Understanding functional drivers in two terrestrial key processes- nitrogen fixation and cellulose degradation- by a single cell approach (DW_FDTP_UVA)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

"The terrestrial C and N cycles are essential for the Earth’s biosphere and intimately linked by microbial activity. Understanding the participants and drivers rendering biologically available N is imperative as N is a limiting factor for primary production. Soils contain the largest pool of C on Earth with cellulose being a major constituent of this C. Therefore understanding this process is esse ...

Symbiomics: Molecular Ecology and Evolution of Bacterial Symbionts (Symbiomics)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Symbiosis research is currently in the midst of a revolution as molecular techniques are leading to major breakthroughs in our understanding of interactions between animals and microbes. There is an emerging recognition that all animals are intimately associated with a complex community of beneficial microbes that are essential for their development, nutrition, and health. Thus, modern symbiosis r ...

NanoSIMS Enabled Approach to Understand Bacterial and Fungal Cellulose Degraders in Soils (SAE_SNSP_UVA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Soils contain the largest pool of carbon on Earth. Cellulose is a major constituent of this carbon since it is a key component of plant structural carbon. Members of the bacteria and fungi are essential for degrading cellulose and thus are essential for cycling carbon. However, the majority of our knowledge on cellulose degradation has been restricted to organisms that we can grow in the laborato ...

Novel Polysaccharide Modifying Enzymes to Optimise the Potential of Hydrocolloids for Food and Medical Applications (PolyModE)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The PolyModE project convenes an international, interdisciplinary, and intersectorial consortium to identify, characterise, and optimise novel polysaccharide modifying enzymes, and to develop robust fermentation strategies for their large-scale production, to exploit the potential of biopolymers for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and technical applications. We have selected the six complex carboh ...

Future INternet for Smart ENergY (FINSENY)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The energy sector has entered a period of major change which will continue for many years to come. The increasing proportion of electricity from renewable sources means that the architecture of the energy grid will have to support the distributed, in addition to the centralised, generation of energy and to adapt to a highly volatile supply e.g. from wind and solar generators. From the consumption ...

Haptic, Audio and Visual Interfaces for Maps and Location-Based Services (HaptiMap)

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

The HAPTIMAP project will deeply embed accessibility into digital mainstream maps and mobile location-based services. Our strategy is twofold: firstly to develop tools that make it easier for developers to add adaptable multimodal components (designed to improve accessibility) to their applications; and secondly, to raise the awareness of these issues via new guidelines and to suggest extensions t ...

Home Gigabit Access (Omega)

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

Gigabit Home Access Networks are a pivotal technology to be developed if the EU Vision of the Future Internet is to be realised. Consumers will require such HANs to be simple to install, without any new wires, and easy enough to use so that information services running on the HAN will be just another utility, as, for instance, electricity, water and gas are today. The OMEGA HAN is centred round th ...
