Meeting Darwin's last challenge: toward a global tree of human languages and genes (LANGELIN)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2017,
Beyond its theoretical impact, the rise of molecular biology has brought about great progress also in the historical classification of species and populations. Sokal (1988) and Cavalli Sforza et. al. (1988, 1994) advocated a correspondence between some proposed language families and classical genetic markers, i.e. between biological evolution and transmission of cultural traits (languages), in agr ...

Heusler Alloy Replacement for Iridium (HARFIR)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
The proposed HARFIR project intends to develop antiferromagnetic (AF) Heusler alloy (HA) films to replace the antiferromagnetic alloy Iridium Manganese (IrMn), which has been widely used in all spin electronic devices including hard disk drives and next-generation magnetic memories. Accordingly the price of Ir has risen by a factor of 4 in the last five years and by more than a factor of 10 in the ...

Generic fault-detection for multirobot systems (GiFteD-MrS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2015, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
Multirobot systems (MRS) have recently been of great interest to environmental scientist, consequent to their ability to monitor large-scale atmospheric and aquatic environmental processes. Furthermore, the deployment of large numbers of relatively inexpensive robots for such monitoring purposes may soon be possible. However, considerable technological advances in platform reliability and enduranc ...

Advanced Transformation Optical Materials for bio-Imaging and light-Concentration (ATOMIC)
Date du début: 15 juin 2013, Date de fin: 14 juin 2016,
With the dramatic advances in micro- and nano-fabrication methods, we are presented with the opportunity to control light in a way that was not possible with the materials provided to us by nature. In an artificial pattern of sub-wavelength elements, the propagation of electromagnetic energy can be defined by an equivalent spatial and spectral dispersion of effective dielectric and magnetic proper ...

Developing single cell technologies for systems biology (ISOLATE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
"Biological cells are entities with highly complex, non-linear control circuits. They can thus express intricate behavior, such as stochasticity-induced multistability, oscillations, responses at different time scales, hysteretic behavior, memory, etc. Biology is only about to start to investigate these phenomena, which all occur at single cell level and often result in phenotypic heterogeneity. I ...

Dense Cooperative Wireless Cloud Network (DIWINE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
DIWINE considers wireless communication in a dense relay/node scenario where WNC (Wireless Network Coding) messages are flooded via dense massively air-interacting nodes in the self-contained cloud while the PHY air-interface between the terminals (sources/destinations) and the cloud is simple and uniform. A complex infrastructure cloud creates an equivalent air-interface to the terminal, which is ...

Postgraduate Research on Photonics as an Enabling Technology (PROPHET)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
"Photonics is an important enabling technology for a wide range of applications in diverse areas. The photonics industry in Europe accounted for revenues of €49 billion in 2006, and is expected to soon exceed that of microelectronics. In the training network proposed here, a cohort of 14 early stage researchers and 5 young experienced researchers will be trained in the full gamut of skills require ...

Multiscale Modelling of Femtosecond Spin Dynamics (FEMTOSPIN)
Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
"Information storage technology is essentially based on nanostructured magnetic materials. Considerable research effort is aimed at increasing the density of stored information and this generally requires increasingly sophisticated media design to engineer the desired combination of low write field and thermal stability of recording information. An alternative approach is Heat Assisted Magnetic Re ...

Morphological Complexity: Typology as a Tool for Delineating Cognitive Organization (MORPHOLOGY)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,
"Charting the limits of linguistic complexity will open up new perspectives for researching both language and the human mind. We focus on inflectional morphology, which is the systematic manipulation of word forms to express grammatical meaning. As a uniquely linguistic and uniquely human component of communication, morphology stands to reveal otherwise inaccessible aspects of cognition. Morpholo ...

On the reduction of health effects from combined exposure to indoor air pollutants in modern offices (OFFICAIR)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,
"Modern offices usually have several sorts of electronic equipment and other dominant heat sources indoors, making them almost unaffected by local climatic conditions. Air conditioning and mechanical ventilation coupled with the often excessive levels of artificial lighting, require high levels of energy. At the European Union (EU) level, the Directive 91/2002, (EPBD), is a major step towards rati ...
