R&D Network Life Cycles (RNDNET)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"It is widely agreed that research and development (R&D), with its subsequent technological innovations, is the driving force in economic growth. R&D activities are distributed across different economic actors, notably firms, which interact in many ways, e.g. through collaboration or knowledge transfer. Using a conceptual network approach, these firms can be seen as nodes and their interactions as ...

Analytic and ergodic aspects of automorphic forms on higher rank groups (ANERAUTOHI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"Automorphic forms are an important subject in number theory and have many arithmetic applications. Some crucial results in the theory of (classical) automorphic forms include results on subconvexity, converse theorems and zeros of L-functions, to name only a few. However, so far the theory of higher rank groups is not as developed as the theory of (classical) automorphic forms and in the last yea ...

The functions of mTOR complex subunits Rictor and Raptor in myelination (mTORC in myelination)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

Understanding the molecular basis of myelination, and the nature of the cells that achieve myelination, is of fundamental importance for both basic and clinical neuroscience. Detailed insights into these processes are likely to provide the foundation for therapeutic approaches to diseases affecting myelinating cells, like Multiple sclerosis in the central nervous system (CNS) and Peripheral Neurop ...

Siderophore production in the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a model trait to study the evolution of cooperation and virulence (PA_exp_evol)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

The occurrence of cooperation is one of the greatest challenges for evolutionary biology. The problem is why should an individual carry out a cooperative behaviour that is costly to perform, but benefits other individuals? The theoretical framework of inclusive fitness has proofed extremely successful in explaining the evolution of cooperation across a wide number of taxa ranging from microbes to ...

RHeophysics and Energy of mAgmas (RHEA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

"To understand dynamic earth processes it is necessary to first understand how magmas flow. Volcanology, geodynamics and planetary sciences all need to know at which stresses magma will behave in a ductile or brittle manner and, even more importantly, the range of the transitional brittle-ductile field.With RHEA we aim to separate the stable from the metastable flowing field of crystal bearing mel ...

Function and regulation of CRL4s-based ubiquitin-dependent processes for mitotic progression (JM_ETHZ_IEF_2009)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Mitosis relies heavily on ubiquitin-dependent degradation of specific protein substrates, mainly by the APC/C and CUL3-RING E3 ligases (CRL3s). In contrast, CUL4-RING E3 ligases (CRL4s) have previously been associated with silencing of gene expression, DNA replication and repair. However, unpublished data from the Peter laboratory suggest that CRL4s may also be important for progression through m ...

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

State-of-the-art earth system models used for long-term climate projections are becoming ever more complex in terms of not only spatial resolution but also the number of processes included in the models. Biogeochemical processes are just beginning to be incorporated into these complex models due to a difficulty in resolving heterogeneous biogeochemical processes. The motivation of this project is ...

Septin organization by multiparameter photoactivated localization microscopy (PALMSEP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2012,

"The septins are a conserved family of GTPases that interact with membranes and the cytoskeleton. Several different septin molecules combine into nonpolar dimeric rods. These rods are thought to assemble end-over-end into higher order structures that orchestrate complex cellular events at the interface of the cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane. In this way, septin complexes organize the cleavage ...
