Bright Future for Black Vulture in Bulgaria (Vultures back to LIFE)

Start date: Jul 16, 2015, End date: Jul 15, 2022,

Background The most serious problem for vultures in Bulgaria today is the critically low number of populations and their isolation. In spite of two decades of conservation efforts, the WWF Greece Dadia project showed that the number of breeding pairs is not increasing and remains around 20 pairs. Another threat is unsuitable livestock breeding practices r ...

Genomics of Chromosome Architecture and Dynamics in Single Cells (GoCADiSC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2017, End date: Feb 28, 2022,

"The spatial architecture of mammalian interphase chromosomes, each consisting of tens of megabases of DNA, poses an intriguing topological problem and is relevant for various nuclear functions. A major challenge is that chromosome architecture exhibits substantial stochastic cell-to-cell variation. To unravel the principles of chromosome organization, new single-cell genome-wide approaches that c ...

Understanding information for legal protection of people against information-induced harms (INFO-LEG)

Start date: Mar 1, 2017, End date: Feb 28, 2022,

Information can harm people. Think of being denied mortgage or insurance based on your grocery shopping or online surfing profile. But what exactly is it in information that is harmful, and how can people be protected? The current legal answer is that protection (data protection principles, rights and obligations) is granted when a) there is information b) about or potentially affecting a person c ...

Analysing coherence in law through legal scholarship (CLLS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Coherence of law is created in the writings of legal scholars who systematize rules and principles of law. Their pursuit of coherence is vital for the effectiveness of legal systems. However, coherence of law has almost not been analysed in a systematic, empirical way. The project will therefore develop a methodology that will address coherence across forms (‘sources’) of law (legislation, legal s ...

Neural decisions under uncertainty (NOISYDECISIONS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2021,

Virtually anything we sense, think and do is uncertain. For instance, when driving a car, you often need to determine how close you are to the car in front of you. It is near impossible to estimate this distance with absolute certainty – but it is possible to guess and even to estimate the uncertainty associated with that guess. Accordingly, we reduce speed when driving at night, because we realiz ...

THAWing permafrost: the fate of Soil Organic Matter in the aquatic Environment (THAWSOME)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2021,

As the Arctic permafrost region warms, its large organic carbon (OC) pool becomes vulnerable to decomposition. This generates greenhouse gases (GHG) that in turn fuel increased surface warming: the permafrost carbon feedback. Higher temperatures will jump-start the coupling between the carbon and hydrological cycle, allowing for the introduction of previously frozen OC pools in aquatic systems. Th ...
