Coupling effects in magnetic patterned nanostructures (COEF-MAGNANO)

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

The scientific objective of this programme is to achieve a comprehensive knowledge of magnetically coupled systems of reduced dimensionality. Spin configuration, magnetic and electrical properties of patterned nanostructures will be investigated in three kinds of magnetically coupled materials: antiferromagnetic / ferromagnetic (AF/FM), very thin multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy and super ...

Large Deviations for Random Walks in Random Environments (LargeDevRWRE)

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

Random walk in random environment (RWRE) is one of the standard models in the study of random media. Originally motivated by molecular biology applications and subsequently used in the modeling of disordered systems, it has been a constant source of fascinating mathematical phenomena and challenging open problems over the last four decades. The theory of large deviations is a cornerstone of modern ...

Niche Management Policies for Sustainability Transitions in Socio-Technical Systems: A Simulation-based Analysis of Complex Dynamics (NICHES)

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

The growing size and complexity of socio-technical systems such as energy and transportation, as well as rising concerns about the sustainability of the ways these systems function, create an increasing need for strategies and policies that would facilitate the penetration of sustainability innovations in these systems. Niche-based policies (e.g. strategic niche management (SNM)) that advocate nur ...

The Dialogic Emergence of Authority: Ancestors’ Shrines as Healing Sites in Kazakhstan (DialogAuthorKzstan)

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

This research on language and power in Central Asia describes how oral expressive culture can allow alternate forms of political and ancestral authority to emerge in dialogue, and can challenge the totality of authoritarian rule in repressive states. This project in linguistic anthropology, based upon long-term ethnographic research in Central Asia, investigates the stories, prayers, and conversa ...

Current Account, Informal Economy and Fiscal Policy (Cainf)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

The proposed project aims to develop an open economy model using state of the art techniques of dynamic macroeconomics that incorporates informal economy and fiscal policy. This model will be used to analyze the effects of the presence of an informal sector on the external balances of European countries, specifically how it affects the current account balance, productivity, competitiveness and the ...

Contextual Text Mining from the Biomedical Scientific Literature (BioLitContextMining)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Scientific publications are the main media through which researchers report their new findings. The huge amount and the continuing rapid growth of the number of published articles in biomedicine, has made it particularly difficult for researchers to access and utilize the knowledge contained in them. Currently, there are over 21 million publications indexed in PubMed, which is the main system tha ...

ECONOMICS OF OPEN SOURCE (EconOpenSource)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

In open source software development, unlike the private investment model, open source innovators freely share the source code to use and modify it. Although the source code of open-source software is freely available, open-source softwares are subject to very precise licensing agreements. Among the most common licenses are the General Public License (GPL) and the European Union Public License (EUP ...

Role of Biotransformation on the Dynamics of Antimicrobial Resistance (ROBODAR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are a group of antimicrobials extensively used in homes, hospitals, industrial and agricultural facilities for disinfection and sanitization purposes since 1930s. Many studies have shown that exposure to QACs leads to the selection of intrinsically resistant bacteria in a microbial community or results in the development or acquisition of resistance mechanisms ...

Dissecting the Genome-wide Action of Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4) in Melanoma (OncoGeneRegulation)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is a transcriptional regulator with critical roles in lymphocyte development and function. We have recently shown that cells from a poor-prognosis subtype of lymphoma and multiple myeloma show non-oncogene addiction to IRF4. Using integrative genome-wide strategies, we have identified the gene regulatory program that IRF4 controls in these cancers.In several ...

Ultra-Stable Molecular Force Spectroscopy with Micromachined Transducers (UTMOST)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

"The objective of the proposed research is to develop micromachined transducers for improved atomic force microscopy (AFM) based biomolecular mechanics measurements. The research focus will be on the design and microfabrication of these transducers that allow ultra-stable measurements for applications in life sciences. A major research effort will be on performing long-time scale biological experi ...
