Influence of Fracture Heterogeneity on Rock Deformation and Failure (INFORM): A Mechanics-based Multi-scale Framework for Radioactive Waste Disposal
Nuclear power is low-carbon and green energy. It presently provides about 10% of the world's electricity and 20% of the UK's electricity, contributing enormously to global Net Zero...
Category learning with(out) language: congenital deafness as a critical test for the role of language input in early category learning
When born into hearing families, profoundly deaf infants have little access to the language used in their homes. Cochlear implantation is now the most frequent intervention route,...
Core Equipment to leverage world class National Crystallography Service facilities
This proposal identifies accessories to be added to the NCS state-of-the-art equipment base to provide entirely new capabilities to then be delivered widely as a service. This tech...
The use of OLCI Sentinel-3 data for assessing the effect of climate change in coastal and inland waters
The main hypothesis for the PhD project is that climate change leads to an increase in precipitation in Northern Europe, and generally to more frequent storm events. The latter cau...
Monitoring and maintaining cardiorespiratory health during long-term space flight
This application proposes: a) continued support of the experiment “Airway Monitoring 2 / Lung Health Monitoring” (see section 2.1), and b) support of a new ESA selected bedrest exp...
IRES Track II: Systems-based transdisciplinary approaches to coral reef science and conservation
Coral reefs are iconic ecosystems that provide goods and services to millions of people worldwide and support tremendous biodiversity. Modern coral reef science encompasses broad s...
Disseminating scientific-based knowledge, to foster cultural and behavior changes for combatting environmental and human health impacts associated to antimicrobial resistance during and after covid-19 epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa: case of Congo DR
Since early 2020, the entire humanity has been shaken by a major health crisis due to the emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic, affecting many areas of people lives including public...
Elucidating the transient nature of electron transfer complexes at the single-molecule level
Electron transfer reactions are the basis of photosynthesis and respiration, which provide the energy source for all life on Earth. The energy directly provided by the sun or from...
Morphing-Blades: New-Concept Turbine Blades for Unsteady Load Mitigation
This project aims to demonstrate at model-scale a novel technology to reduce unsteady-loading for tidal turbines, improving resilience and reliability, and decreasing the levelised...
Speech Therapy Animation and imaging Resource (STAR)
Speech and Language Therapy training and practice is dominated by approaches involving listening to sounds, feeling the movements of the speech organs and verbal descriptions of ho...
The Future of Work and Income
The future of work and income is uncertain. According to some experts, automation will one day make full-time paid employment a thing of the past. In any case, our system of work a...
NNA Track 2: Developing coordinated monitoring networks across Alaska and Northwest Canada to evaluate and address rapidly changing environments
Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. The Arctic research is needed t...
Transforming molecular biophysics with mass photometry
Understanding how biomolecules, drugs and other molecules work together is one of the most important areas of study in the life sciences - central to our understanding of basic bio...
VIPVis: Veterinary Infection Prevention through Visualisation
Antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health. Increasing numbers of resistant infections are leading to many existing antibiotics becoming ineffective. AMR is a...
Conditional uORF-Dependent Translational Control of Plant Gene Expression
Regulating gene expression to produce the appropriate level of each protein, in response to an ever-changing environment, is a particular challenge for sessile organisms such as pl...
Dark-dwellers as more-than-human misfits: a new synthesis of disability studies, environmental history and histories of human-animal relations.
There are at least a billion people on this planet who possess 'misfitting' bodies and who are consequently directly affected by disability. Many more people encounter different ab...
MRC Transition Support CDA Amandine MARECHAL
To live we need a permanent supply of energy. This is provided to our cells by a cascade of reactions that breaks down the food we eat into a universal fuel: ATP. This process main...
