microRNAs: ROLES IN AXON GUIDANCE DURING BRAIN WIRING (GUIDANCE-miR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

The precise elaboration and specification of neuronal circuits is at the basis of any properly functioning nervous system. For circuits to be established, neurons form remarkably accurate connections with their target cells during development. How are these connections established? Neurons send out cell protrusions called axons, which navigate in a complex environment to reach their exact target, ...

The Braided Side of the Earth: modelling the long-term morphological impact of dams on the gravel-bed braided rivers of New Zealand to support restoration of the heavily-impacted European rivers (BraidSideEarth)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

The present three-year project aims at predicting and quantifying the impact of dam construction and operation on highly dynamic, multi-thread river systems through the development of a novel, physically-based numerical morphodynamic model, which can be used as a decision support tool in river management and restoration.Gravel-bed rivers with braided and transitional morphologies were once common ...

Technological Evolution of Synergy Between Physicochemical and Living Systems (EVOBLISS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

We will develop artificial, technological evolution and use it to design functional ecosystems consisting of up to three forms of living technology, namely, artificial chemical life, living microorganisms, and complex chemical reaction networks for the purpose of improved treatment and cleanup of wastewater for energy generation. The goals of this project are i) develop a general, robotic platform ...

Computational shotgun metagenomics to detail mother-to-infant vertical microbiome transmission and microbiome-pathogen interaction in Cystic Fibrosis (CoMeMIMP)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

The crucial biological functions of the human microbiome in health are currently being investigated with metagenomic approaches that sequence whole microbial communities from in vivo samples. The involvement of the microbiome in autoimmune diseases has been proven, and the technological transition to the second generation community-wide full-genome shotgun sequencing is potentially enabling deeper ...

Fracture mechanics of microstructured composites incorporating intrinsic length-scales (MeMic)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Inspired by biological systems, artificial composite materials nowadays may be micro-tailored with a hierarchical structure, or may be produced with sculptured chiral structures, or with stabilized negative-stiffness inclusions. The result is that these new materials can achieve surprisingly excellent mechanical properties.The technological application of these new high-performance composite mater ...

Understanding molecular mechanisms and pathogenic functions of Nef-like retrovirus infectivity factors (NEF-FACTORS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Despite decades of intense research, HIV and other retroviruses retain still surprisingly obscure features, which we need to understand. One of these features concerns Nef, a pathogenic factor of primate lentiviruses, crucial for virus replication and disease progression. This is a challenging lentiviral molecule, because of its extraordinary multifunctionality. If we know relatively well how Nef ...

xLiMe – crossLingual crossMedia knowledge extraction (xLiMe)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Europe is different from other large media markets such as the US or China in that information is being generated in different languages and distributed via diverse streams of localised media channels. Automatic analysis is complicated further by different content types (audio, video, text) and different channels (mainstream, social media). Thus, information can only be analysed independently for ...

CIVIS

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Smart grids make current energy networks more intelligent and accessible; new ways of producing energy will soon make citizens not only energy users but also energy producers. The CIVIS project explores the potential of social networks and communities to significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions. We'll enable this by developing business models for the resulting energy value system and s ...

Video Quality Driven Multimedia Streaming in Mobile Wireless Networks (QOSTREAM)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Robust and efficient multimedia transmission over wireless networks to mobile users is a challenging task due to large bandwidth consumption, quality of service (QoS) requirements, real-time and power constraints, heterogeneous receiver capabilities and error-prone wireless transmission environment. The necessity for seamless access and exchange of large amount of multimedia content anytime and an ...
