Developing the Substance Use Normalization Theory (SUNT): Explaining Adolescent Substance Use in Contemporary Society (SUNT)

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

Substance use among youth continues to be a public health concern. Effective prevention options require up-to-date and relevant theoretical frameworks and empirical studies that can help explain the etiology and correlates of substance use. The current proposal aims to develop the “Substance Use Normalization Theory” which is a promising and novel theoretical framework to explain adolescent substa ...

European Consortium on Synaptic Protein Networks in Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases (EUROSPIN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"Signalling at nerve cell synapses - a key determinant of all aspects of brain function - depends on the function of hundreds of synaptic proteins and their interactions. Numerous recent studies showed that a wide range of neurological and psychiatric diseases are 'synaptopathies' whose onset and progression are due to mutations of synaptic proteins and subsequent synaptic dysfunctions. EUROSPIN w ...

Diffuse Baryons in Space (Diffuse Baryons)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

This proposal aims to significantly enhance our knowledge of diffuse gas in the universe and its association with galaxies. Better understanding of the properties and physical state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) will not only shed light on processes related to galaxy formation and evolution, but will also provide a more complete census of baryons in the universe with implications for the missi ...

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Smoking Cessation (PTSD and Smoking)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The objectives of the proposed study are to test whether smokers with PTSD lapse early to smoking and relapse to smoking at significantly higher rates than smokers without PTSD; and to elucidate the explanatory mediating mechanism(s) underlying the relations between PTSD and poor smoking cessation outcomes. To achieve these objectives, the proposed investigation employs a prospective design that f ...

Secure Function Evaluation – from Theory to Tools (SFEROT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Modern cryptography is known for the introduction of public key cryptography, which has been widely applied in practice. However, the theory of cryptography provided additional powerful (and less intuitive) tools. One of its most attractive contributions is secure computation, also known as secure function evaluation - SFE, which allows multiple participants to implement a joint computation that, ...

The effects of auditory training on human communication skills: behavior and physiology (Auditory learning)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Human communication relies on an array of auditory skills ranging from basic encoding of sound to auditory memory and attention. Improving these skills could benefit many individuals who either attempt to improve their communication skills (e.g., by learning a foreign language) or suffer from communication disorders. However, improving auditory skills remains a challenge because the mechanisms und ...

Searching Protein Structure Space (SPSS)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Nov 13, 2012,

"Finding the structural neighbors of a protein is an essential task in computational structural Biology. In cases where there is no detectable sequence similarity, the identification of structural neighbors offers a powerful approach to predicting structure and function. State-of-the-art protein structural searches find structural neighbors by comparing a protein to all proteins in their database. ...

Computer Aided Cryptography Engineering (CACE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

Development of hardware devices and software products is facilitated by a design flow, and a set of tools (e.g., compilers and debuggers), which automate tasks normally performed by experienced, highly skilled developers. However, in both hardware and software examples the tools are generic since they seldom provide specific support for a particular domain. The goal of this project is to design, d ...
