Scintillation Light For New Physics with Liquid Argon Neutrino Detectors
Neutrino Physics is one of the areas of Particle Physics with the highest potential for discoveries.DUNE, a long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment, will study the neutrino m...
Bringing Cognitive Linguistics and Language Teaching Closer Together
Linguistic research and foreign language teaching have been drifting apart from each other.At a time of declining social cohesion in polyglot Europe, scientifically sound and effec...
Augment your pension - How Augmented Reality (AR) can improve future financial well-being: The role of future self-imagery and its impact on pension awareness and engagement
Elderly poverty is a prominent problem, and financial well-being in elderly is often considered low. A common cause for elderly poverty is a lack of sufficient pension awareness an...
Missing Migrants: Identifying and Shaping Obligations for Protection
Every year, thousands of migrants go missing, leaving behind families, who suffer not knowing whether their loved ones are alive or not.These human tragedies have been acknowledged...
Inflaming the microenvironment of glioblastoma tumors by ADAR1 inhibition: a two-hit approach for the treatment of brain cancer.
The brain is our most precious organ.Not only does it orchestrate vital body functions but it also stores memories and experiences, ultimately defining the core of our human nature...
Computer-assisted Analysis and Applications of Moving Interfaces in Incompressible Flows
The CAMINFLOW project aims to further explore the question of global regularity versus finite-time singularity formation in mathematical fluid mechanics.It proposes three horizons:...
Jet quenching for heavy-ion collisions at the LHC
The characterization of the quark gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions (HICs) is the main goal of heavy-ion experimental programs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collid...
Senescence as a key factor in leukemogenesis and bone marrow homeostasis in aging
Cancer is a major public health problem and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In particular, it has been the second cause of death in Spain, Europe and United States. A...
Evolution of Low-latitude climates and Monsoon Onset
Reconstructing past climate provides a powerful means to investigate how human-induced warming may be manifested in global climate.Over the last 65 million years, Earth experienced...
Musings on primordial black holes: the formation and evolution of primordial black holes and binary primordial systems
Born in the first moments of the universe, primordial black holes (PBHs) could provide the answers to many of the biggest open questions in cosmology. How did the universe begin? W...
Model-based biomarkers for the characterization and quantification of global states of consciousness
Studying the brain mechanisms behind consciousness is a major challenge for neuroscience and medicine.Yet so far, there is no such thing as a unique biomarker that can precisely de...
Cutting edge technology: understanding Palaeolithic stone tool design and use from a modern mechanical engineering perspective
For over 3 million years, stone tools were central to the survival of hominins (fossil and modern humans).Their ability to cut, pierce and scrape materials opened new ecological ni...
Tailoring the electrode-enzyme interface for efficient bioelectrochemical CO2 reduction by formate dehydrogenase
The main objective of this proposal is to optimize the enzyme-electrode interface to achieve efficient bioelectrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction by formate dehydrogenase (F...
Brain-based Evaluation of Autism Phenotypes Using Longitudinal, Multimodal Imaging Data
Methodological developments have equipped scientists with unprecedented opportunities to characterize brain structure and functional organization and relate it to behaviour.Yet to...
Southern Ocean Overtuning Fingerprint Experiment
The Southern Ocean overturning circulation exerts a powerful influence on Earth’s climate, and SOFIE is the first project seeking to detect and objectively measure the hydrographic...
The Novel and the Heart: 1840-1940
This project will examine the heart as a rhetorical figure in anglophone fiction of the Victorian (1837-1901) and modernist (1901-39) periods.Though the heart is one of the most im...
Origins of Scarcity: Labour and the Metabolism of Groundwater in the Doñana Socioecological System
ORIGINSOFSCARCITY explores the dynamics underlying aquifer depletion through a focus on agricultural labour in export-oriented water intensive farming.Opening the black box of “hum...
The effects of urbanization on INsect diverSity And humaN-nature intEractions
Urbanization, one of the most extreme human-induced landscape changes on Earth, yields an important trade-off between development and biodiversity conservation.Recent research high...
Fully integrated technology for predictive diagnosis of sepsis
This proposal features a novel and inexpensive, plug-and-play ultrasensitive immune-PCR fully integrated system (lab-on-chip) that will help with early diagnosis of sepsis or toxic...
Semi-Autonomous ProtoTissues capable of photo-Mechano-Chemical transduction
Recently, researchers in the field of bottom-up synthetic biology have developed different models of non-living cell-like entities, termed protocells.Protocells are designed to mim...
