Mitochondrial crosstalk signalling in the regulation of ageing (MitoSigAge)
Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
Mitochondrial defects are associated with aging and age-related pathology, but the molecular mechanisms regulating mitochondrial function during ageing are poorly understood. The most relevant genetic pathway regulating ageing is the insulin/IGF-1 signalling (IIS) pathway. The mitochondrial prohibitin (PHB) complex influences cellular metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis, affecting ageing in op ...

Towards more efficient materials for technological processes (RASPA)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
"With the increasing need for efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly procedures, adsorbents with tailored structures and tunable surface properties have to be found. To make an informed choice of material for a given application, one must first have knowledge of its adsorption behaviour as a function of molecular composition and morphology. My aim is to provide new insights for mat ...

Telepresence Reinforcement-learning Social Agent (TERESA)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
TERESA aims to develop a telepresence robot of unprecedented social intelligence, thereby helping to pave the way for the deployment of robots in settings such as homes, schools, and hospitals that require substantial human interaction. In telepresence systems, a human controller remotely interacts with people by guiding a remotely located robot, allowing the controller to be more physically prese ...

Negotiating Spain: The shifting boundaries between 'nation', 'nationality' and 'region' (NEGOTIATINGSPAIN)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,
NEGOTIATINGSPAIN focuses on the actual negotiation of shifting political boundaries. The case is the negotiation between the Spanish nation-state and the sub-state regional level since 1979. These processes are not unique to Spain; other European countries as Belgium and Great Britain also witness processes of shifting legitimacy and sovereignty between state and regional level. The probability of ...

Circadian timing of metabolism in C. elegans (TIMETAB)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016,
We will investigate the role of the circadian clock in energy balance, metabolism and lifespan of C. elegans.The evolution of life on Earth has been dominated by the influence of the daily rhythms imposed by its rotational movement. As a consequence, endogenous circadian clocks are present in organisms from all phyla, helping them to anticipate the daily cycles in their environment. This endogenou ...

Trade between Spain and the Habsburg Monarchy (1725-1815): Merchant Networks in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic (Merchant Networks)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,
The research project investigates the integration of continental European regions into global exchange processes taking the Habsburg Monarchy’s trade with Spain in the 18th century as example. Therewith, this project contributes to a recent research trend which focuses on the entanglement of so-called “landlocked” European territories into maritime long-distance trade having been blinded out so fa ...
