System-wide analysis of intrinsic protein properties affecting proteome homeostasis upon abiotic stress in green algae (Stress-proteostasis)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Abiotic environmental stresses such as extreme temperatures represent serious threats to plants and are a main reason for significant agricultural crop losses every year. Hence, an understanding of the molecular consequences of stress exposure and the underlying principles of plant stress responses are fundamental questions in biology and provide the basis for the genetic engineering of stress res ...

Systemic Risks and Macroprudential Regulation in Banking (MACROBANK)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"The current financial crisis raises fundamental questions concerning macroeconomics, banking stability, and economic policy. As standard macroeconomic models provide insufficient guidance on how to respond to the crisis, policy makers in Europe and elsewhere have repeatedly intervened with a combination of largely untested monetary and fiscal policy measures that comprise liquidity provision, ...

Global-Local Methods in Representation Theory (GLoRy)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Symmetry phenomena are well known to play a remarkable role in mathematics and its applications to chemistry, physics, and many other branches of natural sciences. It is, therefore, important to develop mathematical models to analyze symmetries in a unified way.Group theory provides such models in form of permutation representations, that is,groups acting on sets. After linearizing, these actions ...

Large Scale Flow Visualization and Analysis (LARGEFLOWVIS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Scientific visualization of large-scale vector fields with modern, so-called integration-based methods that rely on the analysis of particle trajectories is not feasible with current methods, since existing algorithms cannot make efficient use of parallel architectures such as clusters and supercomputers. This status leaves researchers in science and industry unable to visualize, analyze and under ...

Perceptual Organization and Eye Movements (POEM)

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

The process by which the brain transforms visual input into coherent objects is called perceptual organization. State-of-art research in this domain does not offer much insight into the bridge between the realm of perceptual organization and information acquired by eye movements, which consist of fixations that are discrete and serial. The project proposed here, “POEM”, is designed to bridge this ...

Planning cultures in the USA and in Germany in comparison - the example of shrinking cities (PlanShrinking)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Current debates show a rising awareness that several cities in Europe and the US have to deal with challenges of long-term demographic and economic changes leading to urban shrinkage associated with housing vacancies, underused infrastructure and other negative impacts. On an international scale, it is still not clear if or in what way planning paradigms, planning systems, planning strategies, and ...

Diversity Generating Retroelements – Understanding a New Class of Mobile RNAs (Retroelements)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Retroelements are genetic elements that use reverse transcriptase to insert DNA copies of their RNA into new locations in the host genome. They are found in all realms of life and are one of the major agents shaping genomes. A newly discovered class of viral and bacterial retroelements, the diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs), have the unusual ability to repeatedly target and mutagenize a de ...
