Tool Use As A Tool For Understanding Causal Cognition In Humans And Corvids (CAUSCOG)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,

"Our ability to understand causality is at the very core of modern civilization. We see potential antecedents of this understanding in some non-human animals, notably apes and corvids. To date, behaviour thought to be indicative of causal understanding, particularly tool-use, has been mainly described as a phenomenon rather than studied as a mechanism and thus suffers from the lack of an experimen ...

Soil Transformations in European Catchments (SOILTREC)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

SoilTrEC proposes to develop an integrated model of soil processes that describes key soil functions. These functions are defined in the EC Soil Thematic Strategy as essential ecosystem services for the well-being and economic success of the EU. The key science advances are to develop, from first-principles, computational models that integrate soil erosion, solute transport, carbon dynamics and fo ...

Multiscale reinforcement of semi-crystalline thermoplastic sheets and honeycombs (M-RECT)

Date du début: 15 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 14 avr. 2014,

The M-RECT project aims to create multiscale-reinforced semi-crystalline thermoplastics (PEEK and PPS), which will outperform all reinforced polymers in terms of strength, stiffness, creep and mainly damping by upscaling and further developing state of the art production methods, within cost-efficient manufacturing routes. The envisaged multiscale reinforcement will comprise of dispersed straighte ...

Evolvability and drivers of photosynthetic transitions in flowering plants (phototrans)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,

Several carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCM) have evolved to counteract the deficiencies of the classical photosynthetic pathway (C3 photosynthesis). Their multiple origins represent one of the most striking examples of convergent evolution and make them especially suitable for comparative evolutionary studies. In land plants, the two main CCM are CAM and C4 photosynthesis, which confer an advant ...

Predicting antibiotic resistance (PAR)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,

"The aim of this proposal is to describe and predict the dynamics of antibiotic resistance development at the level of the drug target, the microbe and the host. That is, we want to generate the knowledge required to be able to connect resistance mechanism --> bacterial physiology and fitness --> bacterial survival within a host --> bacterial spread between hosts. To achieve this goal we will deve ...

Analysis of Waste Prevention Behaviour through a Conceptual Statistical Model and Scenario Simulation (Waste Prevention)

Date du début: 27 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 26 janv. 2013,

The justification for this proposal is based on the growing awareness that environmental problems have more to do with the decisions of ordinary people as opposed to governments and corporations. This proposal argues that the solution for solid waste issues involves not only technical or economic regulations or both, but also real changes in individuals’ behaviour. Hence, with the aim to provide a ...

Work and Life Quality in New and Growing Jobs (WALQING)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,

"In order to explore the linkages between ‘new jobs’, conditions of work and employment in these jobs and more or less favourable outcomes for employees’ quality of work and life, WALQING combines data analysis on the chief European data sources, in-depth comparative investigation of stakeholder policies, organisational arrangements and strategies, and the perspectives and agency of individuals in ...

The role of animals in late Iron Age and Roman life: cultural identity and the relationship between Italy and Britain (ANCID)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,

"Archaeological evidence has indicated that major cultural changes occurred in Europe between the Late Iron Age and Early Roman periods, although these were neither homogeneous nor universal. The theoretical framework by which to interpret these complex processes has been energetically debated and remains contentious. Animal bones recovered from archaeological habitation sites - mostly the product ...

Analysis and Evaluation of Comparable Corpora for Under Resourced Areas of Machine Translation (ACCURAT)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,

Lack of sufficient linguistic resources for many languages and domains currently is one of the major obstacle in further advancement of automated translation. The main goal of the ACCURAT research is to find, analyze and evaluate novel methods how comparable corpora can compensate for this shortage of linguistic resources to improve MT quality significantly for under-resourced languages and narrow ...

"Space missions in Earth orbit have demonstrated that men can survive and work in space for long durations. However, there are pending technological, medical and psychological issues to be solved before adventuring in longer duration space missions. Furthermore technological breakthroughs, e.g. in life support systems and recycling technologies are required to reduce the costs of these expeditions ...

Efficient and Effective Evaluation of Information Retrieval Systems (EFIREval)

Date du début: 1 mai 2010, Date de fin: 5 mars 2012,

Information Retrieval (IR) is a ubiquitous technology. The range of tasks and information collections IR systems are applied to is ever growing. However, the ability of researchers and developers to build high quality searching systems for new environments is not keeping up with the growth in potential application areas. As a consequence, search system quality is degrading: users of bespoke system ...

molecular and computational analysis of the leaf margin (molCALM)

Date du début: 1 juin 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2011,

The question of how the shape and size multicellular organs is controlled is a basic question in biology. In plants, recent work from the Fleming lab has indicated that cells around the periphery of the organ (the margin cells) play a special role in influencing leaf size and shape. The peculiar shape of these cells raises the possibility that they play a mechanical role in constraining leaf size ...

Evolution of reproductive barriers and its implications for adaptive speciation (Adaptive Speciation)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2010,

Perhaps the most basic question about the process of speciation is whether or not it is an adaptive progress. Recent studies suggest that natural selection and adaptation may play a more significant role in the early stages of divergence and the evolution of reproductive isolation than previously thought. This ‘adaptive speciation’ may be particularly common where there is partial spatial separati ...

Optimal seismic rehabilitation of reinforced concrete buildings using FRP composites (Quakeoptiwrap)

Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2010,

This study aims to develop an original practical optimisation technique for seismic rehabilitation of RC structures using FRP composites. The proposed method is capable of producing retrofit designs that minimize the total material cost of FRP by at least 20% while optimising the seismic performance of the structure. Based on the outcomes of this study, design guidelines for optimum seismic rehabi ...
