High-resolution tweezers for DNA replication and sequence identification (MagRepS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

We propose to investigate the enzymes responsible for DNA replication and repair in micromanipulation experiments with a resolution of a single base. The detailed mechanism by which DNA is synthesized base after base and the coordination of the enzymes involved in this process are not fully understood. We shall develop new magnetic tweezers using lithographic techniques associated with evanescent ...

Enhancing resource Uptake from Roots under stress in cereal crops (EUROOT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The overall goal of EURoot is to help farmers to face both climate change, which is expected to result in increasingly uneven rainfall, and meet the societal demand for sustainable agriculture with reduced use of water and fertilizers. EURoot objective is to enhance the cereal plant capability to acquire water and nutrients through their roots and maintain growth and performance under stress condi ...

A low cost Mosquito Contamination Device for sustainable malaria mosquito control (MCD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"Our consortium will focus on the integration of four novel control components in a low-tech (no power source, no need for CO2) and cheap mosquito contamination device (MCD) that will a) lure malaria mosquitoes to an attractive point source, b) infect them there with a fungus as a slow-killing agent, and c) expose them to a juvenile hormone analogue with which they will contaminate their breeding ...

Soil Transformations in European Catchments (SOILTREC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

SoilTrEC proposes to develop an integrated model of soil processes that describes key soil functions. These functions are defined in the EC Soil Thematic Strategy as essential ecosystem services for the well-being and economic success of the EU. The key science advances are to develop, from first-principles, computational models that integrate soil erosion, solute transport, carbon dynamics and fo ...

RAPIDLY-DEPLOYABLE, SELF-TUNING, SELF-RECONFIGURABLE, NEARLY-OPTIMAL CONTROL DESIGN FOR LARGE-SCALE NONLINEAR SYSTEMS (AGILE)

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

The inability of existing theoretical and practical tools to scaleably and efficiently deal with the control of complex, uncertain and time-changing large-scale systems, not only leads to a effort-, time- and cost-consuming deployment of Large-Scale Control Systems (LSCSs), but also prohibits the wide application of LSCS in areas and applications where LSCSs could potentially have a tremendous eff ...

Soil sustainability in Europe as deduced from investigation of the critical zone (SOILCRITZONE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2007, End date: Jul 31, 2009,

We propose to organise a series of workshops that will coordinate a fragmented European community that undertakes soil research so that we can fully understand what policy needs to be developed for the sustainability of European soils. Our results will directly feed into a FP7 application on the soil life cycle. Our vision is to develop integrated and quantitative models that describe the linkage ...
