Integration and international migration: pathways and integration policies (INTEGRIM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

According to UN assessments, there are 214 million international migrants worldwide and another 740 million internal migrants . The OECD highlights that there seems little likelihood of substantial reductions in numbers of international migrants in the current decade . Rises in global population, new demographic trends including ageing population, environmental deterioration and an increased globa ...

Efficient and Effective Learning to Rank for Information Retrieval (EELTR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Ranking sits at the core of information retrieval. Given a query, a collection of documents have to be ranked based on their relevance with respect to the query. Most modern search are based on learning to rank: given a training set composed of query-document pairs judged in terms of relevance, learn to rank documents given a query. Constructing training data for learning to rank is very expensiv ...

Large-scale computation without synchronisation (SyncFree)

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

The goal of SyncFree is to enable large-scale distributed applications without global synchronisation, by exploiting the recent concept of Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). CRDTs allow unsynchronised concurrent updates, yet ensure data consistency. This revolutionary approach maximises responsiveness and availability; it enables locating data near its users, in decentralised clouds.Glob ...

Programmable Droplet-based Lab on a Chip Systems (PDB-LOCs)

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

"Microfluidic systems offer great benefits in healthcare technologies such as reduction in reagent volume, high sensitivity, cost-efficiency and on-chip integration of multiple analyses. These benefits can be further enhanced using two phase flow microfluidic systems, i.e. microdroplet-based devices. The objective of this proposal is to develop programmable droplet-based lab-on-a-chip systems (PDB ...

Development of spoken language comprehension processes in a verb-final language: Incremental interpretation of case marking cues in Turkish speaking children (DEV LANG COMPRHNSN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Apr 18, 2016,

In the last two decades methods have been developed to investigate moment-by-moment language comprehension in children. This research demonstrates that children’s language comprehension shares two crucial features with adults’: 1) interpretation is incremental such that each word is integrated as soon as it becomes available; 2) language comprehension at every level draws on multiple sources of in ...

Integrated Internet-Based Environment for Social Inclusion of Children with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) (ASC-Inclusion)

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

Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC, frequently defined as ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorders) are neurodevelopmental conditions, characterized by social communication difficulties and restricted and repetitive behaviour patterns. Current studies suggest 1% of the population might fit an ASC diagnosis. Alongside their difficulties individuals with ASC tend to have intact and sometimes superior abilities ...

"Product Design, Quick Response and Competition in Retail Supply Chains" (RESPONSIVSUPPLYCHAIN)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"The objective of the project is to understand the impact of supply chain capabilities such as responsiveness, short lead times of procurement, production, and design on competitiveness of retailers and manufacturers. This will be achieved by building mathematical models of supply chains and characterizing their optimal and equilibrium decisions using inventory theory, consumer choice models, and ...
