Natural Language Understanding for non-standard languages and dialects
Dialects are ubiquitous and for many speakers are part of everyday life. They carry important social and communicative functions.Yet, dialects and non-standard languages in general...
Design and Engineering of Optoelectronic Metamaterials
One of the promises of the combination of quantum mechanics and nanotechnology is the ability to design materials with tailor-made physical properties.While there have been several...
Haptic sensing skin for biomedical applications with soft magnetorheological elastomers
Sensorial and tacSensorial and tactile information represent the base of all surgical procedures in medicine.The vision sense has been and continues to be developed extensively by...
Modification of liposomic nano-carriers: a novel strategy for improved drug-delivery and eradication of bacterial biofilms
Bacterial biofilms are widespread, both as infections in humans and on devices that have come in contact with infected tissue, and pose a major health and economic burden.Such biof...
Operational Heat-Health-Social Early Warning System
Ambient temperatures are associated with more than 5 million annual deaths globally, 300,000 of which in Western Europe alone.Many European countries have implemented heat early wa...
New Perspectives on Land Dispossession, Violent Conflict and Migration in the West African Sahel
Farmers and pastoralists in the Sahel continuously struggle to maintain control over land faced with rent-seeking elites, processes of modernization and uncertain land rights.The h...
Enlightening the dark side of the phosphorus cycle in terrestrial ecosystems: Turnover of organic phosphorus in soils
Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient whose availability strongly affects many processes in terrestrial ecosystems.P is recycled through organic P (OP) decomposition, resulting in the...
From inspiral to kilonova
Recent years have seen the blossoming of multi-messenger astrophysics where gravitational waves, photons and neutrinos provide complementary views on cosmic explosions involving so...
Quartz On-chip for Virus Detection
The global-scale pandemic crisis of COVID-19 requires precise and immediate technological solutions for virological and serologicaldiagnosis tests.These tests must be accurate, rap...
A perturbative approach to model retinal processing of natural scenes
A major goal of sensory neuroscience is to understand how sensory neurons process natural scenes.Models built from the responses of sensory neurons to simple stimuli do not general...
A companion magnetic sensor for in operando detection of magnetic biosynthesis in cancer and neurodegenerative models
Iron is essential for all life forms as it is a core component of many vital metabolic processes. In humans, iron homeostasis is controlled by sophisticated processes regulating it...
The Significance of Bilingual Manuscripts for Detecting Cross-Language Interaction in the New Testament Tradition
BICROSS is an interdisciplinary project linking Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Gothic, Armenian and Arabic philology, New Testament textual criticism, manuscript studies, ancient hi...
Random Copolymers Enabling Nonimmunogenic PEGylation for Medical Therapeutics
PEGylation, the attachment of the highly hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) to therapeutics, has become a key strategy in current nanomedicine. PEGylation...
MAGNIFICO-Pre-commercialization of multifunctional targeted MRI-contrast enhancing agents for brain research
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-damaging and non-invasive imaging modality, with the abilities to effortlessly image the entire brain at any depth.However, MRI provides i...
Concentration and threshold phenomena in random graphs and hypergraphs
The central theme of this proposal is the enumeration of large structures obeying a family of local constraints.There are numerous well-studied instances of this general problem in...
Flexible and transparent platform based on oxide transistors for detection and readout of ionizing radiation
Ionizing radiation presents a known health risk, but if used controllably it can be the basis of relevant applications spanning from healthcare to civil security.Either for proper...
Computational Hardness Of RepresentAtion Learning
Rich internal representations of complex data are crucial to the predictive power of neural networks.Unfortunately, current statistical analyses are restricted to over-simplified n...
Controlling spin angular momentum with the field of light
Short pulses of light allow controlling electrons in solids with superb precision and outstanding speed, now reaching the sub-femtosecond timescale.Yet, our ability to act on the a...
SOMO-HOMO Inversion For chiral open-shell pi-conjUgated systeMs
Organic Materials are of strong interest for increasing the performances of modern electronic devices (OLED, photovoltaics, transistor) while reducing their overall cost in compari...
Exploring the impact of Stellar Multiplicity on planet formation Across Disc Evolution
In regions of active star formation, the protoplanetary discs around young stars act as planetary factories.Recent observing campaigns have shown that the majority of protostars be...
