Understanding the evolutionary origin of biological diversity (SPECIATION)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
"The aim of this Network is to train nine young scientists to PhD level in the biological disciplines needed to understand the evolutionary origin of biological diversity. This understanding is critical to the proper management of biodiversity, especially at a time of rapid environmental change. Our approach is to select powerful model systems with which to investigate the process of speciation an ...

Development of molecular probes for the non-invasive detection of liver fibrosis (DEPRONIL)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
"Liver fibrosis is a progressive and fatal disease characterized by the accumulation of excessive amounts of scar tissue in response to chronic liver injury. The disease proceeds asymptomatically, until clinical signs of liver failure occur only in a very late stage of the disease. Early diagnosis would offer better treatment options. However, early detection and quantification of fibrosis, as wel ...

A Preparatory phase proposal for the Square Kilometre Array (PrepSKA)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the largest scientific projects ever undertaken. It is a machine designed to answer some of the big questions of our time: what is Dark Energy? Was Einstein right about gravity? What is the nature of dark matter? Can we detect gravitational waves? When and how did the first stars and galaxies form? What was the origin of cosmic magnetism? How do Eart ...

Organic Nanomaterials for Electronics and Photonics: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, Processing, Fabrication and Applications (ONE-P)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2011,
The call 4.2.2-1 “organic materials for electronics and photonics” is based on the observation that the limited availability of high-performance multi-functional materials is a roadblock to further industrial progress. To address the wide scope of the call, we have identified specific materials bottlenecks to the fields of electronics and photonics. They constitute the focal points of our project. ...

SMART HOMES FOR ALL. AN EMBEDDED MIDDLEWARE PLATFORM FOR PERVASIVE AND IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS FOR-ALL (SM4All)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2011,
Embedded systems are specialised computers used in larger systems or machines to control equipments such as automobiles, home appliances, communication, control and office machines. Such pervasivity is particularly evident in immersive realities, i.e., scenarios in which invisible embedded systems need to continuosly interact with human users, in order to provide continuous sensed information and ...

Controlling Biogenic Amines in Traditional Food Fermentations in Regional Europe (BIAMFOOD)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2011,
"Food fermentations are among the traditional industries that have a long standing history worldwide. In spite of great technological advantages, much of the industry is still based on traditional, experienced-based techniques that are strongly rooted in specific geographic regions. In food fermentations, consortia of microorganisms are essential to the process, and determine the characteristics o ...

Advanced Experimentally Validated Integrated OLED Model for a breakthrough in high-performance OLED technology (AEVIOM)
Date du début: 15 janv. 2008, Date de fin: 14 janv. 2011,
White Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are potentially highly efficient large area light sources, that can be used for general lighting applications in hitherto unprecedented ways, such as light-emitting flexible foils. In the past years, the luminous efficacy of prototype white OLEDs has shown a very fast, fivefold, increase. In principle, there seems to be no fundamental obstacle towards 10 ...

Visual Analytics - Mastering the Information Age (VisMaster CA)
Date du début: 1 août 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2010,
One of the most important challenges of the emerging Information Age is to effectively utilise the immense wealth of information and data acquired, computed and stored by modern information systems. On the one hand, the appropriate use of available information volumes offers large potential to realize technological progress and business success. On the other hand, there exists the severe danger th ...

Work around the Clock: effects of shift work on cognitive performance and circadian organization in behavior and physiology (ClockWork)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2010,
The 24-h organization of modern economy challenges the daily organization of our internal biological rhythms. Under normal conditions, an orchestra of body clocks, conducted by a central pacemaker in the hypothalamus (suprachiasmatic nucleus, SCN) synchronizes specific behavior and physiology to specific times of day, leading to optimal performance. Shift work conditions may reduce synchrony among ...
