Novel integrated experimental and analytical approaches to unravel parasitic interactions by stable isotope analyses
Parasitic trophic interactions have been largely excluded in food web studies, but recent research has highlighted their integral role in affecting food web properties.Previous eff...
Upscaling in vitro arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculum production via combinatorial lipid metabolic engineering of host plants
Major scientific challenges nowadays are to preserve the environment, reduce global warming and grow more food to meet the global demand.Mass-producing the right soil microbiota es...
A history of ‘Making Things’ in West Africa, 1920-1980: creating, meaning making and experience
This project studies artisans and craftspeople (goldsmiths, bakers, and carpenters) in Ghana and Nigeria, c. 1920-1980, and provides a new history of making things, by bringing tog...
Evolution of Rose Gall Tritrophic Communities
Tritrophic communities of plants, insect herbivores and associated parasitoid natural enemies together comprise more than 50% of all described species, including both beneficial ec...
Impact of Timanian faults on Arctic Tectonics
ArcTec proposes to study (1) the westward extent, kinematics and timing of formation, and (2) reactivation–overprint of Timanian (i.e., ca. 600 million years old) faults during sub...
Micro-level Politics of Peace
Peace settlements are elite pacts that ignore the views of the population, those most affected by the conflict, which leads to a lack of buy-in for sustainable peace.The project “M...
Crop Production in the Levant and International Trade Exchange: investigating coprolites and crop plant remains from the 1st millennium CE Negev Highlands and Aravah Valley
CroProLITE aims to evaluate the Islamic Green Revolution (IGR) thesisinvolving crop introduction from eastern and central Asia to the Mediterranean by Early Islamic empiresthrough...
Software-Defined Number Formats: Bridging the Gap between Performance, Accuracy, and Security
All computing devices implement computer arithmetic as a core functionality.Nearly all computing devices moreover implement the same, standardized number formats in order to aid so...
Can chromosome reorganisation aid adaptation to drought?
The structure and function of plant genomes have been marked by a history of repeated cycles of whole genome duplications followed by diploidization.Despite the number of duplicati...
Renovating the Existing Buildings Environment through the Combination of Circular economy and the Add-ons’ strategy
The actual investment gap in the renovation sector is due to the fact that high investments are required up-front, generally characterised by a high degree of risk and long payback...
Reliability-oriented Lightweight Optimization Framework for Intelligent Design of Material-structure Integration
This project will develop novel topology optimization (TO) methods for the design of multi-scale lattice structures built using additive manufacturing (AM) from porous materials to...
Minimum degree conditions for tight Hamilton cycles and spanning spheres
One of the most exciting developments in the second half of the last century in combinatorial research has been the search for Hamilton cycles in graphs and hypergraphs.Since the d...
The role of ecology as a modulator of sexual conflict in the wild: an experimental approach with Drosophila melanogaster
Sexual conflict is essential to understand phenotypic evolution in promiscuous species.Yet we know very little about how it operates in the wild and how ecology may help explain th...
Echo-acoustic signalling of aposematic and cryptic insects – A bat-inspired approach
In the arms race between prey and predators, diverse anti-predator defence mechanisms evolved. To avoid predation, many insects developed camouflage (crypsis) or chemicals that ren...
How nature of regulation and levels of trust affect each other over time: the case of financial regulation in the EU
Regulation and trust are at the heart of our society.In setting regulations to govern the behavior of citizens, firms and states, policymakers make regulatory design choices that a...
Dark Matter and Effective Field Theories
The question about the nature of dark matter is central in modern physics.Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the possibility of a dark matter with mass between the keV...
Unraveling the role of interoceptive abilities in aesthetic appreciation of movement
In recent years, neuroscientific research has linked dance aesthetics appreciation to an interplay between the visual, sensorimotor, and reward systems. A specific focus has been o...
Mapping the impact of the Augustan colonies on the Early Roman Empire
The main purpose of the IMPACTVM project is to evaluate the socio-political impact of Augustan veteran colonies (1st c. BC – 1st c. AD) by understanding of how Latin and epigraphy...
Deciphering immune evasion of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common adult leukemia, with a high frequency of relapse and mortality.After therapy, the persistence of rare leukemia stem cells (LSCs) wit...
Deconstructing in vivo glia-to-neuron conversion
Direct lineage reprogramming of cell identity in the nervous system offers the prospect of remodelling diseased brain circuits. Recent years have provided evidence for the possibil...
