Heart OMics in AGEing (HOMAGE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

As more people survive into old age, the prevalence of heart failure (HF), one of the most common and debilitating diseases in older people, will rise still further. Delaying or preventing HF will have great benefit to those at personal risk, their families, society and the economy. HOMAGE aims to provide a biomarker (BM) approach that will a) help identify i. patients at high risk of developing ...

The genetic basis of meningococcal and other life threatening bacterial infections of childhood (EUCLIDS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2017,

Bacterial infection is the major cause of disability and death in children worldwide. We will use meningococcal disease (MD) as a model to understand genetic factors underlying susceptibility and severity of childhood bacterial infection which will then be applied to other childhood infections. We have established cohorts of patients with MD in Central and Southern Europe (CE,SE), UK and Africa as ...

Integrated Approaches to Food Allergen and Allergy Risk Management (IFAAM)

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

Up to 20 million European citizens suffer from food allergy. However management of both food allergy (by patients and health practitioners) and allergens (by industry) is thwarted by lack of evidence to either prevent food allergy developing or protect adequately those who are already allergic. iFAAM will develop evidence-based approaches and tools for MANAGEMENT of ALLERGENS in FOOD and integrate ...

Dynamic Resource Allocation in Embedded and High-Performance Computing (DreamCloud)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Computing devices with multiple processing cores are now the norm. Most smartphones, tablets, game consoles, and of course personal computers and servers, can process software tasks in true parallel fashion. This trend will keep on going, and the number of cores per device will grow to dozens and hundreds, which will enable us to run more complex applications, and more of them at the same time. Ho ...

"Bordering, Political Landscapes and Social Arenas: Potentials and Challenges of Evolving Border Concepts in a post-Cold War World" (EUBORDERSCAPES)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

"In order to gauge its significance, conceptual change in the study of borders must be seen in relation to fundamental social, economic and geopolitical transformations that have taken place in the past decades. In addition, major paradigmatic shifts in scientific debate, and in the social sciences in particular, must also be considered. Recognising the close interrelationships between social chan ...

Automated Next Generation Sequencing for Diagnostic Microbiology (PATHSEEK)

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

"Sequencing platforms in diagnostic laboratories may aid both patient management by detecting resistance associated mutations, and public health measures, by determining phylogenetic relationships between infections from different patients. Current platforms are limited by the timeframe required for generating a result and by the limited sequence information provided on pathogens. To overcome thes ...

Growth-Innovation-Competitiveness: Fostering Cohesion in Central and Eastern Europe (GRINCOH)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

GRINCOH addresses two issues affecting Central and Eastern European economies: the disjuncture between fast productivity growth and poor performance in developing innovative capacities for longer-term sustainable growth; and the pronounced economic, social and environmental territorial disparities resulting from accelerated growth. The project objectives are to: (a) establish development scenarios ...

European Regions, EU External Borders and the Immediate Neighbours. Analysing Regional Development Options through Policies and Practices of Cross-Border Co-operation (EUBORDERREGIONS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

EUBORDERRREGIONS will investigate the manifold consequences of increasing cross-border interaction for the development of regions at the EU’s external borders and, in this way, contribute to scientific and policy debate on the future of economic, social and territorial cohesion within the EU. Importantly, the project will contextualise development issues in selected EU “Borderlands” with regard to ...

Java platform for high-performance and real-time large scale data management (JUNIPER)

End date: Dec 1, 2012,

The efficient and real-time exploitation of large streaming data sources and stored data poses many questions regarding the underlying platform, including:1) Performance - how can the potential performance of the platform be exploited effectively by arbitrary applications;2) Guarantees - how can the platform support guarantees regarding processing streaming data sources and accessing stored data; ...
