Using Galaxy Surveys to Understand the Dark Universe (Darksurvey)

Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2019,

Galaxy Surveys are a key resource for observational cosmology, with the potential to provide the answers to many fundamental questions in modern physics. The Darksurvey project will use the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and extended-Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) within which Will Percival has key leadership positions, and future projects including MS-DESI to measure the cosmological e ...

Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,

In clinical interventions, skill transfer from therapist to children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) benefits from the inclusion of expressive artefacts such as puppets and animated characters. Well-designed robotic agents have proven to be particularly effective and are becoming an increasingly important tool for mediating between therapists and ASD children in robot-assisted therapy (RAT). ...

Networks and Narratives: The Transnational Community of European Studies 1957-2004 (ESNETNARR)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,

Challenges to elite accounts of European integration are central to the current EU crisis. It is therefore vital to understand how European elites construct these ‘narratives’. The proposed research will examine the transnational community of European Studies (ES) since 1957, as it had a crucial role in shaping these narratives. It will ask how the position of scholars within this network affected ...

Metagenomic Analysis of Microbial Communities Involved in Wood Degradation in a Xylophagic Catfish (METAXYLO)

Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,

"Microbes play an essential role in the global cycling of carbon and nitrogen, but, many of the microorganisms involved in these biogeochemical cycles are, as yet, unculturable using traditional microbiological methods. Thus, essential microbial interactions and biochemical processes contributing to these cycles await discovery. Application of molecular tools can overcome limitations of non-cult ...

Measuring Dark Energy Properties Using Galaxy Surveys (MDEPUGS)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,

"Observations have shown that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. At present, there is no physically motivated model to explain this, directly demonstrating that current theories of fundamental particles and gravity are either incorrect or incomplete. Understanding this phenomenon is consequently one of the most important outstanding problems in the whole of science. Perhaps the simples ...
