Protecting the food chain from prions: shaping European priorities through basic and applied research (PRIORITY)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
"Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) started, 20 years ago, a devastating health and food crisis throughout Europe. Classical BSE is now under control as a result of the meat and bone meal ban. However, tonsil analyses suggest that there may be an alarmingly high number of asymptomatic PrPSc positive cases. Transmission through blood transfusion is another important concern, as are recent “atyp ...

BrainTrain: Integrative neuroscience school on brain function and disease (BrainTrain)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2013,
Brain disorders, in particular neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses are among the most prevalent and debilitating diseases. Because they are chronic, quality of life and socio-economic prospects are dramatically impaired. Increased life expectancy further enhances the impact of brain dysfunction on society. In coming decades this burden will grow into one of most pressing and costly pro ...

BIOmimetic Technology for vibrissal ACtive Touch (BIOTACT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
BIOTACT will develop novel biomimetic computational methods and technologies for active touch sensing. The project is inspired by the functionality, morphology, and neural processing architectures of biological sensory systems that use tactile hairs known as whiskers or vibrissae. It will focus on two animals that are tactile specialists--the Norwegian rat and the Etruscan shrew. Both species make ...

Understanding interactions between cells and nanopatterned surfaces (NanoScale)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2011,
The study of biological processes occurring at the nanoscale is becoming a new discipline at the border between Physics and Biology with major scientific challenges and new technological applications. In fact, interactions at the nanoscale between cells/neurons and surfaces with specific nanopatterns appear to control several major biological processes, such as cell proliferation and differentiati ...

Science in Trieste And Researchers (STAR)
Date du début: 1 mai 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2010,
With 3.5 % of the total workforce composed by researchers, Trieste is appropriately known as a “City of Science” and its network of excellence of universities and national and international research organizations is referred to as the “Trieste System”. The STAR project is an offspring of the memorandum signed in 2008 whereby the University of Trieste, the Trieste Municipality and Province, and oth ...

Markov Chain Monte Carlo reconstruction of the large-scale structure with the Lyman alpha forest (MCMCLYMAN)
Date du début: 15 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 14 sept. 2010,
"We address in this proposal the inverse problem for the reconstruction of the properties of the intergalactic medium based on the measured neutral hydrogen Lyman-α absorption observed in the spectra of high redshift quasars. We suggest the application of ARGO, a Bayesian sampling solver that has been developed by the applicant during his PhD thesis for the reconstruction of the large-scale struc ...

Science and everyday life in Trieste (PROSIT)
Date du début: 1 juin 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2009,
In Trieste as many as 37.1 out of 1000 workers are researchers, more than the average in the US (7.4), EU (5.0), Japan (9.2) and much more than the national average in Italy (3.3). This result is due to the fact that an increasingly important role has been played in Trieste since the 1960’s by specialized international institutes of advanced studies and applied research. These research centers hav ...
