An integrated approach to diversify the genetic base, improve stress resistance, agronomic management and nutritional/processing quality of minor cereal crops for human nutrition in Europe (HealthyMinorCereals)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Consumers have increasing demands for healthy, nutritious, and innovative food produced sustainably. Minor cereals can address these points, as well as contributing to feed and non-food markets. However, they have been hardly developed as commercial varieties, with no major investment to exploit genetic diversity in breeding programmes, and have low yields. There has been little research to optimi ...

A New Solution to Matching Problems (NSMP)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"In many real-life object allocation problems, objects' priorities involve indifference classes. The common practice to deal with ties is to randomly break them to obtain strict priorities. From the ex-ante point of view, random tie breaking induces random priorities. In this setting, Dr. Afacan will introduce a fairness notion generalizing the usual stability of Gale and Shapley (1962) to the ran ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 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 ...

A Comparative Perspective on Parliamentary Legislative Activity and Bureaucratic Delegation (CPAD)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"In all parliamentary democracies, governments delegate some policymaking competence to bureaucrats. The very conception of cabinet governments comprised of ministers, who are derived from the party majorities and held in toe with the party line, implies a certain overlap between the executive and legislature. Policy delegation in both presidential and parliamentary systems may be motivated by lim ...

Revealing Antibiotic Resistance Evolution (RARE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

"Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health problem. Bacteria can quickly develop resistance against many of the existing antimicrobials, and consequently prolonged treatment periods lead to human suffering, loss of productivity, and high health care costs. In order to tackle the antibiotic resistance problem, either new antibiotics or methods for using the current collection of antibiotic ...

THE LIMITS TO THE TRANSFER OF FIRMS’ STATUS ADVANTAGES IN CROSS-BORDER INVESTMENTS (STATUS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"The performance benefits of firm status have been well-documented in the literature. While recent work in management has shown that status advantages may be transferable across markets as a proxy of entering firm’s quality, the limits to the transferability of status advantages, particularly across national borders, have not been fully studied. This research program proposes to study this questio ...

ADAPTIVE, HETEROGENEOUS, INCENTIVE-COMPATIBLE, LOCALIZED AND SECURE NETWORKING (AGILENet)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Cognitive radio networking is in its infancy, but there is now an orchestrated effort to stimulate pertinent R&D activities in Europe and the US, following major regulatory initiatives to release previously reserved bands. Cognitive radio network research is now widely acknowledged to be central in enabling the next leap towards seamless spectrum/energy/cost-efficient operation and cohabitation of ...

Bio-mimetic Multi-functional Active Porous Structures (Bio-MAPS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

The objective of this research plan is to develop mathematical foundations and geometric computational algorithms to bio-mimetically model fully customized and complex three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous (multi-material) structures with controlled material composition and distribution. The proposed work will be used to model active multi-functional porous structures with controlled micro-architec ...

Extreme Returns and Expected Returns in International Stock Markets (EXTRETEXPRET)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"This proposal is related to the relationship between extreme returns and expected returns for international stock markets. For the first part, I will focus on the minimum daily return on the aggregate market over various historical time windows. The negative of this variable can be interpreted as a measure of Value at Risk and a significantly positive relation between this measure and expected ma ...

"''THINK outside the box'' design practices for optimal, more competitive and durable structural COMPOSITEs" (THINKCOMPOSITE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"Engineers and scientists need to push the boundaries of composites research to make them more competitive. This calls attention for advances in materials and “thinking outside the box” design practices as opposed to traditional design rules, because the materials options and traditional design strategies have been responsible for the boundaries of the “box”. The proposed research aims to quest fo ...

Mobility, Data Mining, and Privacy (MODAP)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

With the advance and wide usage of GPS enabled devices and other positioning systems, mobility behaviour of individuals can now be captured and streamed into a data warehouse for online or historical data analysis. We refer to such data as mobility data. Mobility data mining comes into picture as an emerging field which aims to extract knowledge from mobility data with a lot of opportunities as we ...
