Arctic sea ice, biogeochemistry and impacts on the atmosphere: Past, present, future (ASIBIA)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The Arctic Ocean is a vast expanse of sea ice. Most of it is snow covered as are large continental regions for about half of the year. However, Global Change is arguably greatest in the Arctic, where temperatures have risen more than anywhere else in the last few decades. New record lows occurred in snow extent in June 2012 and sea ice extent in September 2012. Many observations show that widespre ...

Crossroads of empires: archaeology, material culture and socio-political relationships in West Africa (CROSSROADS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Knowledge of the last 1000 years in the West African Sahel comes largely from historical sources, which say that many regions were ruled by vast polities.The aim of my archaeological project is to seize how, in fact, lhe 'empires' of this region structured the landscape, and the movemenl of peoples, ideas, andthings, with a focus on the period AD 1200-1850. Is 'empire' really a useful term? I will ...

EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL POLICIES ON HEALTH INEQUALITIES AND THEIR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS AND FOSTERING CHANGE (SOPHIE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The need to deal with health inequalities is now on the agenda of key supranational institutions, such as the European Commission (EC). To tackle the so-called “causes of the causes of health inequity”, the focus should be put on structural policies, policies that – especially in the current times of financial and employment crisis – influence patterns of social stratification, living and working ...

Smart Aircraft in Emergency Situations (SMAES)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

"Ditching analysis is requested for large transport aircraft by EASA. The respective requirements are specified under § ‘’CS 25.801 Ditching’’. They are primarily devoted to a minimisation of risks for immediate injuries and the provision of fair chances for an evacuation. A significant part of average air travel is over water and historically a planned or unplanned water-landing event occurs gros ...

Categorification in Representation Theory (Cat RepTh)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

The subject of representation theory originally arose from the study of symmetries on certain spaces. It has long been known that many two-dimensional geometric phenomena have algebraic explanations via the subject of representation theory. In the last fifteen years it has been conjectured that analogous explanations for problems ins three-dimensional geometry should raise from introducing so-call ...

Psychosocial fActors Relevant to BrAin DISorders in Europe (PARADISE)

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

The overall prevalence of brain disorders – both neurological and psychiatric – is very high in Europe. Although it is well known that the burden and costs of these disorders are high, there is evidence that the overall, personal, social and economic costs of brain disorders have been underestimated because of the lack of valid and reliable information regarding the full range of psychosocial diff ...

Sign Language Recognition, Generation and Modelling \n with application in Deaf Communication (Dicta-Sign)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

Dicta-Sign addresses the need for communication between deaf individuals and communication via natural language by deaf users with various HCI environments. It will research and develop recognition and synthesis engines for sign languages (SLs) at a level of detail necessary for recognising and generating authentic signing. Research outcomes will be integrated in three laboratory prototypes (a Sea ...

Simulation Tool for AIrplane Ditching hYdrodynamics (STAIDY)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,

"The study concerns with the emergency landing of airplanes on the sea surface (ditching). The final goal is the development of a simulation tool for the description of the hydro-structural-dynamics of ditching. The attention is focused with the early stage, during which the highest loads are generated, which can induce strong distortion or even failure of the fuselage, thus jeopardising the post- ...

Art Made Man through art therapies and handicraft

Start date: Oct 1, 2010,

Art Made Man arises from 2 concerns: - The social and economic marginalization faced by the "weakest part" of the population of the countries involved, especially disabled and migrants who often live situations of mutual misunderstanding and non-acceptance in the society. - The dependent position of disabled due to a physical and / or psychological deficiency and of migrants due to the lack of cul ...
