Long-Run Inequalities in Health and Survival Between Families and Across Generations
Worldwide life expectancy has increased strongly over the past decades, but social inequalities in health and mortality are large and increasing. In contrast to trends in socioecon...
Linguistic traces: low-frequency forms as evidence of language and population history
We know remarkably little about the early history that formed the known European languages and cultures. While advances in genetics have led to new debates about population histori...
Nidovirus Replication Complexes: How enzymes shape viral genomes
Nidoviruses are an intriguing group of +RNA viruses, whose diverse genome sizes (11-41 kb) reflect a long history of adaptation to suit specific niches. They remain mostly neglecte...
Government Intervention and the Macroeconomy: Micro-evidence on the Transmission of Government Procurement
Depending on the country and year, governments spend between 10% and 20% of GDP on public procurement.I collect data on millions of public procurement contracts awarded in many cou...
Quantum-engineered lattice-matched III-V-on-Si multijunction solar cells
Photovoltaics is called to be a main player in the global transformation of the energy sector the world is facing to fight climate change. Multijunction solar cells, based on class...
Bayesian Experimental Design for in situ (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscopy – BED-TEM
The proposed project, Bayesian Experimental Design for in situ (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscopy (BED-TEM), addresses challenges in conducting in situ (S)TEM experiments,...
Human genetic determinants of invasive group A streptococcal host-pathogen interactions
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a major, human specific, bacterial pathogen. Most people suffer from mild infections, while only a few develop invasive GAS (iGAS) infections. These...
A completely biological and human tissue-engineered sling produced from Cell-Assembled extracellular Matrix (CAM) in vitro for the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is a major medical issue affecting 1 in 5 women. Implantation of synthetic slings, made of knitted plastic monofilament, is the gold standard surg...
Heterogeneous Integrated Short-wave Infrared Colloidal Quantum Dot Lasers
IRQUAL addresses the critical need for compact, integrated lasers operating in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrum (1.3 2.5 m) for diverse applications such as consumer electr...
ILIMITED first-ever Ionic LIquid sorbent Methanol synthesis In order To Enable over 80% yielD
ILIMITED proposal targets the first-ever ionic liquid sorbent methanol synthesis enabling over 80% yield production thanks to a high selective encapsulation technology for creating...
Testimony of stones: a new method in ancient traffic analysis
Stone architectural elements are perhaps the most ancient witnesses of an archaeological site. Among those, threshold/paving stones are elements that take place almost at the first...
Gender Equality Plans for INclusivity: engines of Change
Gender Equality Plans (GEP) have fostered equality of opportunity for women in European Research and Innovation Organisations (RIO). Nonetheless, most GEP to date bypass people who...
Combinatorial neuromodulation of internal states
Being sleepy, hungry, afraid, or happy impacts our daily experience and defines our behavior and actions. Such internal states are characterized by unique signatures of activity ac...
Wood-Derived Hybrid Particles for Stabilized Dispersions
Aqueous particle dispersions are elemental to many aspects of every-day life, from food and pharmaceuticals to construction materials. However, todays dispersion science faces a gr...
Deep-sea carbonates under pressure: mechanisms of dissolution and climate feedbacks
As humanity grapples with the escalating crisis of climate change, understanding and mitigating the sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is imperative. A lesser-known yet sign...
THRON-SEC: Drug-Induced Secretome Profiling for Enhanced Therapy
Under normal conditions, cells release proteins (secretome) to regulate fundamental processes like metabolism and immunity. Many diseases and their corresponding treatments involve...
Optimal Local Algorithms via Topology-Sensitivity
Considering the rapid growth of data sets and network sizes over the past decade, there is little doubt that the future of computation is distributed. One central aspect lying at t...
Cognitive and Neural Computations of Semantics
In our everyday lives, we rely on existing relations among elements in our environment (i.e., semantic information) to interact efficiently with the world. This information can eit...
Leveraging Polymer Therapeutics as Nanomedicine for Local Glioblastoma Immunotherapy
Research focusing on cancer immunotherapy has provided little progress toward improved survival rates for patients with glioblastoma (GBM), a poorly immunogenic tumor. Clinical tri...
Intensity Correlations for Stars
The pioneering experiments of intensity correlations by Hanbury-Brown and Twiss more than 50 years ago not only allowed to measure the angular diameter of many bright stars, but it...
