The Past, Present and Future of Neotropical Biodiversity (NEOTROPICS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
The American tropics – the Neotropics – comprise more species than any other region on Earth, including thousands of species used as crops, medicines and crafts. Understanding the evolution of this biodiversity and predicting the effects of climate and habitat changes on species losses constitute a major scientific challenge.This project will:1) Estimate the rates of historical migration, speciati ...

Synergistic Fouling Control Technologies (SEAFRONT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
Marine biofouling, the unwanted colonization of marine organisms on surfaces immersed in seawater has a huge economic and environmental impact in terms of maintenance requirements for marine structures, increased vessel fuel consumption, operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and spread of non-indigenous species. The SEAFRONT project will aim to significantly advance the control of biofouling a ...

Magnonics Using Spin Torque, spin caloritronics, And Nanoplasmonic engineerinG (MUSTANG)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
My overall aim is to develop a Magnonic technology platform where Spintronic, Spin-Caloritronic and Nano-plasmonic devices and structures combine to create ground-breaking functionality from novel interactions between charge, spin, heat and light. With traditional Magnonic studies typically geared towards the low GHz range, and nanoplasmonic phenomena primarily focusing on visible light, my propos ...

Impact of Biogenic versus Anthropogenic emissions on Clouds and Climate: towards a Holistic UnderStanding (BACCHUS)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2017,
Clouds are a very important, yet not well understood feedback factor in climate change and they contribute to the effective radiative forcing (ERF) from aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI). The uncertainty in ERFaci is larger than for any other forcing agent. Also, feedbacks between the terrestrial and marine biosphere and the atmosphere involving ACI are thought to play an important role in regulati ...

Assessment and mitigation of nano-enabled product risks on human and environmental health: Development of new strategies and creation of a digital guidance tool for nanotech industries (GUIDENANO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,
The main objective of GUIDEnano is to develop innovative methodologies to evaluate and manage human and environmental health risks of nano-enabled products, considering the whole product life cycle. A strategy to identify hot spots for release of nanomaterials (NMs) will be followed by decision trees to guide on the use of (computational) exposure models and, when necessary, design of cost-effecti ...

Membrane Protein Nanocrystallography (NanoMem)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Modern structural biology builds upon synergies between lab-bench scale science on the one hand and large scale research infrastructure on the other. NanoMem recognises the transformative opportunities that are created by current X-ray source and detector developments to impact strongly on membrane protein structure, a challenging sub-field of structural biology. We will exploit synchrotron based ...

A structural mechanism of photoreceptor protein signalling by time-resolved anisotropic X-ray solution scattering (ANISOPROTEINXRAY)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,
Photoreceptor proteins are light sensing biomolecules used by bacteria, funghi and plants to react to light stimuli. To date, a range of light-signalling proteins and their function are known. However, the mechanisms of signal propagation from the light sensitive chromophore to the signalling cascade in the cell are still elusive.Protein crystallography is an established method to gain structural ...

Adaptation and evolution of wild alfalfa: a genomic approach (ALFALFAEVOLUTION)
Date du début: 1 mai 2014, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
The Eurasian genus Medicago is best known for the perennial species M. sativa (alfalfa). Alfalfa is the world’s oldest, most important, and most intensively studied fodder crop. There is huge promise for extending the importance of alfalfa well beyond its present primary use as a feed for livestock. This species has potential uses in several domains such as: pharmaceuticals, biodegradable plastic ...

Advanced Coatings for Offshore Renewable ENergy (ACORN)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
In spite of the considerable development in the field of marine protective coatings, there is still significant room for improvement. Very long lasting (20+ yrs) coating systems that offer reliable protection against corrosion/biofouling or corrosion/cavitation, and which also avoid the need for supplementary cathodic protection are not available. The need for such coatings is acute in the case of ...

The crustacean chemosensory system: Consequences of climate and environmental change (CruCSChange)
Date du début: 1 août 2013, Date de fin: 6 oct. 2015,
Although the ability to detect and respond to chemical cues is essential in most animals, we know very little of how the chemical sense will be affected by the rapid environmental changes we face today. The overall goal of this research project is to provide improved understanding of the combined impacts of climate change and pollutants on the chemosensory system of marine organisms, focusing on e ...

Understanding Halogen Bonding in Solution: Investigation of Yet Unexplored Interactions with Applications in Medicinal Chemistry (HALOGEN)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
Halogen bonding is an electron density donation-based weak interaction that has so far almost exclusively been investigated in computational and crystallographic studies. It shows high similarities to hydrogen bonding; however, its applicability for molecular recognition processes long remained unappreciated and has not been thoroughly explored.The main goals of this project are (1) to take the ma ...

DIGITISING CONTEMPORARY ART (DCA)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
Description
‘‘Digitising Contemporary Art’ (DCA) is a 30-month digitisation project for contemporary art, i.e. art made after 1945 - a kind of cultural heritage still largely missing from Europeana which is a single access point for European culture. DCA will create a digital body of high-quality reproductions of 26,921 artworks - paintings ...
