Building body representations: An investigation of the formation and maintenance of body representations (BODYBUILDING)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
"The body is ubiquitous in perceptual experience and is central to our sense of self and personal identity. Disordered body representations are central to several serious psychiatric and neurological disorders. Thus, identifying factors which contribute to the formation and maintenance of body representations is crucial for understanding how body representation goes awry in disease, and how it mig ...

Molecular and cellular imaging of membrane interactions in pathogen attack and immune defense (MEMBRANEATTACK)
Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
"The immune system and pathogens both use membrane pore-forming proteins to penetrate cellular membranes, in order to kill target cells or to allow passage of pathogenic organisms such as malaria parasites, listeria, or toxoplasma. For both fundamental and practical reasons, it is important to understand the biological actions of the ""arms race"" underlying virulence, pathogenesis and immune defe ...

A comparative history of archives in late medieval and early modern Italy (AR.C.H.I.ves)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Most historians work in archives, but generally have not made archives into their primary object of research. While we tend to be preoccupied by documentary loss, what is striking is the sheer amount of paperwork preserved over the centuries. We need to study the reasons for this preservation.This project wishes to study the history of the archives and of the chanceries that oversaw their producti ...

Gender and Work/Life Stress among National Parliamentarians in Comparison (GENDER ELITE)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
Are gender inequalities in levels of work/life stress apparent among those positioned at the powerful top of society’s hierarchy, and if so, why? This proposal outlines a research project that investigates the mechanisms behind gender and individual-level work/life stress among political elites (national parliamentarians) using a comparative perspective between three country cases: UK, Sweden and ...

Synchronic Entanglements and New Social Imaginaries: Anti-War Activism in Brazil and the United Kingdom in the Twenty-First Century (SENSIAWABUK)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The project aims to investigate the practices and modes of association of anti-war activists in Brazil and in the UK, while formulating an interaction ritual theory that places emotions and synchronicity at the centre of social process. Building on interaction ritual chains theory (Randall Collins), I articulate a notion of synchronicity that emerges from a theorisation of the relationship between ...

Reactivity of Aluminium Sulphate Minerals In Mine wastes (RASMIM) (RASMIM)
Date du début: 3 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 2 juil. 2015,
Mine wastes are unwanted, currently uneconomic materials found at or near mine sites. Volumetrically they are one of the largest waste streams in the European Community and also at a global scale and they often contain high concentrations of elements such as aluminium (Al) that can have severe effects on ecosystems and humans.The risks posed by exposure to Al are controlled by the reactivity of Al ...

A High-Level Paradigm for Reliable Large-scale Server Software (RELEASE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
The exponential growth in the number of cores requires radically new software development technologies. Many expect 100,000-core platforms to become commonplace, and the best predictions are that core failures on such an architecture will be common, perhaps one an hour. Hence we require programming models that are not only highly scalable but also reliable. The project aim is to scale the radic ...

Comparative Analysis of Factor Markets for Agriculture across the Member States (Factor Markets)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
Well functioning factor markets are a crucial condition for the competitiveness and growth of agriculture and for rural development. At the same time, the functioning of the factor markets themselves are influenced by changes in agriculture and the rural economy, and in EU policies. Member state regulations and institutions affecting land, labour, and capital markets may cause important heterogene ...

Structural analysis of the newly described hybrid secretion system of the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa involving the outer membrane transporter CupB3 (‘P-usher’) and the adhesin CupB5 (P-usher)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
Bacterial pathogenesis is closely linked to the biogenesis of fimbrial adhesins. Up to date 7 different types of secretion systems involved in assembling such structures are defined. However, recent data on the CupB secretion system described in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, indicate that this is the first time a hybrid secretion system is described, as it contains proteins of both the type Vb Two-Partn ...

Experimental measurement of the direct partitioning of peptides into lipid bilayers (Peptide partitioning)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,
The transfer of peptide segments into the lipid bilayer to form stable transmembrane helices is the crucial first step in membrane protein folding and assembly. However, the mechanisms that drive this process are not fully understood. A recent experimental assay has measured the insertion of designed peptide sequences into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane via the cellular translocon machinery. T ...

"One of the most relevant obstacle to assess and compare nursing home (NH) services and patients across countries relates to the fact that standardized and validated methodologies are not routinely in use in daily practice in Europe. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a comprehensive assessment instrument which contains a standardized set of essential clinical and functional status measures and allows ...
