Artificial sniffer using linear ion trap technology (SNIFFLES)

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

The research will develop a universal gas sensor using modular technologies to function as an artificial sniffer. It will detect a range of substances, including but not limited to people, drugs, explosives (including weapons) and CBRNe. The technology will complement trained sniffer dogs. The technology proposed is based on linear ion trap (LIT) mass spectrometry (MS). MS techniques have been in ...

Fluid Mechanics of Flagellar Propulsion (FLAGELLA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

"The locomotion of microorganisms in fluids is a theme of major importance in biology. It affects many processes such as mammalian reproduction, the marine life ecosystem, and the dynamics of bacterial infection. Locomotion is typically achieved by the periodic deformation of flagella (short and flexible organelles) that drive the fluid motion around the microorganisms, and generate propulsive for ...

"GRANARIES AND WAREHOUSES IN NORTH AFRICA AND EGYPT DURING THE ROMAN AGE. TYPOLOGY, BUILDING TECHNIQUES, FUNCTION, PRODUCTIVE CONTEXT." (GRAWINAE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"The present project aims at presenting an interdisciplinary way of looking at the history of the African grain in Roman age, in particular from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD, starting from the data that can be found at archaeological level. The project of starting a new research arises from the lack of a comprehensive study, sufficiently updated and complete, considered all noticeable ...

"Archaic and classical Greek Amphoras in north-western Mediterranean area and central Europe: diffusion, origin and contents" (AGAME)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"The transport amphoras are of great importance for the investigation of the commercial activities in ancient times since they use for the transport of wine, oil, meat, fish, and other perishable organic materials. Moreover, they are tangible traces of the movement of goods and peoples and their intermingling. However, their investigation in Central Europe has not been taken up to the same extent ...

Development and application of new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance methodologies for structure determination of solid or semi-solid samples (SSNMRMETHOD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"The focus of my research project is the development of new solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methodologies that allow the determination of the structure of solid or semi-solid samples. Materials of this type are central to many interesting biophysical questions but, because they are typically insoluble and non-crystalline, they are not amenable to structure determination by traditional ...

Random walks on hyperbolic groups (RWHG)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

"The project lies at the confluent of different mathematical fields: probability theory, algebra, and geometry. There is a contribution of A. V. Vershik in a special Springer volume about the future of mathematics in the 21st century that points out the prospects and challenges that are comprised in the interplay of probability theory and algebra. Here random walk theory, a branch of probability t ...
