Computational Perspective to Dynamical Protein-Lipid Complexes under Crowded Conditions (CROWDED-PRO-LIPIDS)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

"One of the great challenges is to understand how cellular functions emerge in cell membrane systems. Unlocking this mystery is the key to the vast majority of human diseases. The current view is based on a static picture where membrane proteins in protein-poor membranes interact with a few specific lipids, while in reality the situation is much more complicated. This ambitious project aims for a ...

Investigating Speech Processing in Realistic Environments (INSPIRE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

In everyday life, people listen to speech under a wide range of conditions that are “non-optimal” relative to the controlled conditions in laboratory experiments. Classical research methods can only deal with the effects of individual “adverse” conditions. This has contributed to the fragmentation of speech communication research in numerous sub-disciplines that have little interaction. While each ...

Integrated and Cost-Effective Solution to reduce the volume of Pig Slurry, minimize Pollutant Emissions and Process Energy Consumption (EfficientHeat)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The increase of EU pig production and the intensification of its practice resulted of an increase of pigwaste production. In 2008, more than 930 million m3 of pig slurry was produced in the EU. Pigs areraised indoor and the manure collected is mostly slurry. Pig farmers need to treat a great volume ofresidue with high viscosity and variable physico-chemical composition. The leaks and air emissions ...
