The Grammar of the Body: Revealing the Foundations of Compositionality in Human Language (GRAMBY)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2019,
The pioneering framework I propose for the analysis of the foundations of human language – the Grammar of the Body – is inspired by sign language. My main aim is to create a body-based model of linguistic compositionality and to provide clues of its evolutionary origins.Instead of analysing sign language (and language generally) from the perspective of mental categories, the radical approach I in ...

Wheat and barley Legacy for Breeding Improvement (WHEALBI)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
WHEALBI will combine genomics, genetics and agronomy to improve European wheat and barley production in competitive and sustainable cropping systems. Germplasm representing the species diversity will be selected and characterised in unprecedented detail by next-generation-sequencing. Life history and adaptive traits will be evaluated in both transnational field experiments and a state-of-the-art p ...

Secretion of inflammatory mediators from eosinophils and their tissue residing cell-free granules: mechanisms and implications in inflammation (eosinophil secretion)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Eosinophils, both as end-stage effector cells and as Th2-immunomodulators, have the capacity to secrete varied inflammatory mediators, such as, cytokines and enzymes that are stored in their cytoplasmic secretory granules. Among them are the cationic proteins: major basic protein, eosinophil peroxidase, and the eosinophil RNases. In the last decade several studies, both in vitro and in vivo, have ...

Fear Conditioning and Extinction in Anxious Youth: Identifying Neuro-cognitive Abnormalities and Their Relation to Pediatric Anxiety Treatment Outcomes (ERBT)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
Anxiety disorders are the most common pediatric psychopathology. Despite therapeutic advances, treatment-resistance remains high, and progress towards early detection of at-risk populations has hindered. The proposed research aims to address this problem by targeting information-processing functions, specifically fear learning and extinction, in an effort to link pediatric anxiety to dysfunction i ...

Evolution of sociality in invasive fire ant populations (SOCIAL INVASIONS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,
Evolutionary theory struggled to explain animal societies for many decades. Ultimate explanations were found but little is known about proximate explanations: how do social traits evolve at the molecular level? Dramatic advances in genome sequencing technologies now allow such questions to be addressed. Ants are a classical study system for social evolutionary research. Their impressive ecological ...

ACTION PLAN ON SIS RELATED ISSUES IN EPIDEMICS AND TOTAL PANDEMICS (ASSET)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
ASSET (Action plan in Science in Society in Epidemics and Total pandemics) is a 48 month Mobilisation and Mutual Learning Action Plan (MMLAP), which aims to 1) forge a partnership with complementary perspectives, knowledge and experiences to address effectively scientific and societal challenges raised by pandemics and associated crisis management; 2) explore and map SiS-related issues in global ...

Bloom the Dry. The Creation of Traditional Mediterranean Irrigated Fields (DryIR)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
The main target of the research proposal is to study the historical transformation of Mediterranean drylands into fertile and productive irrigated fields. The construction and maintenance of irrigated fields has been one of the most successful strategies adopted by past societies to cope with the uncertainty of the Mediterranean weather. Many irrigated fields were constructed in the past and are s ...

Flexible Event pRocessing for big dAta aRchItectures (FERARI)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
Many of today's Big Data technologies were built on the tacit assumption of web-based systems processing human generated-data at Facebook or Google. Such data is typically unstructured and predominantly persistent. As a result, the focus to date has been on batch processing of Big Data stored in distributed file systems. However data volumes generated from Machine-to-Machine interactions (M2M) sur ...

Generalizing Truth-Functionality (GETFUN)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
The Fregean-inspired Principle of Compositionality of Meaning (PoC), for formal languages, may be construed as asserting that the meaning of a compound expression is deterministically (and often recursively) analysable in terms of the meaning of its constituents, taking into account the mode in which these constituents are combined so as to form the compound expression. From a logical point of vi ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...
