Metal Hybrid Cavities (HyMeCav)

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

Quantum semiconductor microcavities are structures in which photons can be confined within an area whose size is comparable to the wavelength of light. In this scenario, light-matter interactions can be substantially enhanced. A traditional microcavity is composed of two dielectric or semiconductor Bragg reflectors confining an active area which contains a quantum object such as a quantum well. F ...

TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL MODULATION OF ANTIVIRAL MAVS SIGNALING (VIROPERO)

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

"Viruses are of great importance for global public health. The first line of cellular defenses against viral infection begins with the binding of viral RNA to intracellular pathogen recognition receptors. Such interaction triggers the conformational change of these receptors and allows subsequent interaction with the adaptor molecule MAVS. Once activated, MAVS recruits a signaling complex able to ...

Localized objects formed by self-trapped gravitational waves (GRAVITYWAVESTARS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

This project aims to investigate geon-type solutions in Einstein's theory of Gravitation. Geons are reminiscent of stars, consisting of self-trapped nonlinear gravitational waves, in some sense they are gravitational wave stars. A very important application of geons, provided they have good stability properties and sufficiently long lifetimes, is that they can provide a natural component for the m ...

Coupling Confined Optical and Mechanical Modes to a Single Quantum Dot (OMSIQUD)

Start date: Apr 17, 2014, End date: Apr 16, 2016,

The project bridges the gap between two yet distinct research fields: optomechanics of deformable cavities (cavity optomechanics) and cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED). This project aims at exploring a hybrid interface between these two domains, using semiconductor nanostructures. In particular, we propose the use of a single quantum dot (QD) coupled to a pillar microcavity to study pho ...

Talent Agents in the American Film INDustry: how cinematic careers and projects are shaped behind the scenes (TAFIND)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

"This project is aimed at exploring a neglected aspect of the movie industry and of the film creation process: the role played by talent agents and its significance for the making of cultural products. Even though agents often remain unseen participants in the day-to-day functioning of the film industry, they hold a key position. This study will provide a detailed account of their professional act ...

CorpAGEst. A corpus-based multimodal approach to the pragmatic competence of the elderly (CORPAGEST)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

This research project aims to establish the gestural and verbal profile of very old people in normal aging, looking at their pragmatic competence from a naturalistic and ecological perspective. To reach this goal, a multimodal corpus (integrating text, sound, and gesture) will serve to carry out corpus-based analyses with the aim of testing several hypotheses: (i) a change in the use of (inter)sub ...

in toto imaging of embryonic morphogenesis: collective cell movements and symmetry breaking (intotoMorphogenesis)

Start date: Sep 22, 2011, End date: Sep 21, 2015,

Successive processes of symmetry breaking are occurring during the sequence of early embryonic morphogenesis. These fascinating events raise fundamental questions that are still under debate and are challenging to investigate. In parallel, recent advances in fluorescent reporters, microscopy and image processing, make possible investigating the dynamics of large cell populations in a developing em ...

Operational Global Carbon Observing System (GEOCARBON)

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

Today, countries use a wide variety of methods to monitor the carbon cycle and it is difficult to compare datafromcountry to country and to get a clear global picture. The current global observational and modelling capabilitiesallow us to produce estimates of carbon budget at different level (from local to global) but many uncertainties stillremain. Decision makers need now more than ever systemat ...
