The primary objective of this proposal is to bring together an international and interdisciplinary group of research teams who have different expertise areas to share the knowledge of different elements for building nano-biosensors. The development of future devices requires controlled assembly and placement of individual and/or multiple nano building blocks into the desired locations. By the accomplishment of this research proposal, the advantages of integration of nanomaterials into the structure of biosensors will be feasible. It is expected that the nanomaterial assembled biosensor structures will show an enhanced sensitivity due to the high surface area, higher porosity, and adjusted surface energy. In this research proposal, there are six participants from six countries with different expertise areas in the field of chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry, and biology. Different pieces of work will thus be constructed into each other to first of all study their “separate” roles in that assembled piece of work. The international and interdisciplinary group of research team who came together is composed of Turkey, France, Ukraine, Canada, United States and (Rep. of) Korea. The estimated time of the project is 36 months. The proposed programme consists of three stages. STAGE 1 consists of shortly “synthesis of nanomaterials and their controlled assembly and organization of Si wafer substrates”. STAGE 2 is composed of the “biofunctionalization” of these materials built in STAGE 1 and the building a biosensor out of the assembled materials. STAGE 3 will focus on the “field tests” to see how affective these biosensors are working. Six trainings, three general meetings and three workshops are being planned for this research proposal in order to share all the knowledge and information gained throughout the work and to form the basis of long lasting collaborations.

The main objective of this proposal is to study the concept of "multi-parameter multi-fractional Brownian motion" and its generalizations. We define this process, prove existence and give some examples. We study its properties, especially long-range memory, different kinds of properties which replace the stationarity and the self-similarity. Some integral representations will be presented and we will try to find characterizations of this process. We develop stochastic calculus for multi-parameter multi-fractional Brownian motion and different types of set-indexed martingales. We will investigate: regularity properties of stochastic integrals with respect to multi-fractional random fields; solvability and regularity of solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with fractional and multi-fractional random noise, the properties of solutions of multi-parameter stochastic differential equations with fractional fields, e.g., Holder continuity and smoothness properties; local times and occupation densities of multi-parameter fractional processes; classical problems of financial mathematics – absence of arbitrage, option pricing, optimal investment strategies, optimal exercise of American options – in a long-range dependence framework; mixed fractional/stable limit models; limit theorems for the products of random fields with weak and long range dependence and multi-fractal log-infinite divisible scenarios; formulation and characterisation of a class of spatial multi-fractional models and scaling law results for the variable-order fractional diffusion equations with random data; development of a theory of statistical estimation for the considered models. Finally, we will suggest some applied problems in which the multi-parameter multi-fractional Brownian motion can be used.

The aim of this research is capacity building through exchanging young scientist to estimate both hydrological and rates of biogeochemical cycling in order to test hypotheses on the relationship between climate change and ecosystem productivity in the Mediterranean environment. Remotely sensed-data, GIS and process-based simulation models have provided the capability to assess ecological change at broad spatio-temporal scales. The proposed exchange programme can be considered as a chance of connecting the hydrology and the remote sensing communities from Europe and US to develop tools for understanding of climate change consequences using geospatial technologies. The requested EU exchange project pursues a clear application and enables to transfer expertise from science into practice and on the other hand the mutual exchange of knowledge between research groups from Turkey, Germany, England and US. The major focus of the project using geospatial technologies is in two folds: i) Climate change and water management and modelling; Water scarcity and management is a cross-cutting issue in the world. This is especially true in the Mediterranean region where water resources are limited and water issues are the most urgent. Modelling the water, solute and erosion dynamics will be done by means of the J2000 physically based system which will be supported by GIS-analysis and remote sensing; ii) Climate change and the ecosystem productivity; The main steps are, a) Classification, quantification and analysis of land-use, b) Collection of inputs (climate, soil and biotic data) for simulation models, c) Quantification of C-N budgets and simulation of temperature rise scenarios. These topics are interdisciplinary in nature and involve processes that are relevant to biophysical ecology, biogeography, and climate. To study these topics, the research relies heavily on remote sensing, biophysical models of land-atmosphere energy exchange, GIS and statistical methods.

This program aims at developing joint research and higher education on urban and regional development and planning, bringing together European and Chinese Universities. On the one hand Chinese cities and society are evolving at a very quick pace and Chinese responsible decision makers are aware of the challenge and new issues they are facing. They pay a particular attention to the approaches developed in Europe. On the other hand, European academics traditionally compare their views between themselves and with specialists from all over the world. Obviously, the exceptional experience and the growing importance of China in the global economics and politics gives to cooperation with Chinese universities a particular interest. This exchange programme focuses on spatial planning concept which is gaining in resonance within the EU. In China, spatial planning is among the most important policy means for the government to guide the environmental and social evolution of the world’s biggest and fastest growing country. Within Europe there are very different approaches to managing change within different urban and regional contexts and the same is true within China, where the open door policy has unleashed an unprecedented urban transformation. The role of the project is to explore how policy makers in both Europe and China are managing the rapid transformation of our territories, primarily in urban areas and also in the rural one. The implementation of the programme is based on a networking of four EU universities (Paris 12, Liverpool, Manchester and Utrecht) and one university in China (Nanjing University), which all hold the leading positions in planning education, training and research in their countries. Partners will exchange staff members, junior and PhD researchers around yearly seminars, summer schools or workshops, and symposiums. The core of this network activity is an annual summer school in China and an autumn symposium in China or the EU.

Climate change is of growing public concern, and an important political priority of the European Union. In order to combat future climate change, it is vital to gain an improved understanding of natural variability, thresholds, and mechanisms in the integrated climate system. Such knowledge requires studying the geological record of the past. For my research I measure small atomic abundance variations of radiogenic isotopes to decipher past changes in ocean circulation patterns and ice sheet evolution on million-year to millennial time scales. The project UNPACK CLIMATE (UNraveling PAst Climate as a Key to understanding future CLIMATE) will address two fundamental questions in the integrated climate system. What is the role of the ocean during past rapid climate change events? The deep ocean stores and transports vast amounts of heat and carbon, and changes in its circulation are likely to influence global climate. Although there are numerous tracers of water mass position in the past we know very little about the flux of each water mass. This hurdle can be overcome by a new proxy I developed to decipher past ocean ventilation rates, combined neodymium isotopes and radiocarbon measurements from absolutely dated deep-sea corals. How stable was the East Antarctic ice sheet over the past 15 million years? The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the largest amount of freshwater on earth, and understanding its past stability and potential mechanisms of destabilization seem to be vital in the context of future global warming. The Pliocene warm period (4.5 – 3.0 Ma) was the last time Earth’s climate was significantly warmer than today. I will apply an innovative technique (provenance analyses of ice-rafted debris) to constrain Miocene to Pliocene (~14 – 1.8 Ma) extend and stability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.

The project aims to support and strengthen the different existing collaboration actions between Europe and Mediterranean Partner Countries (MCP) for research and research training in the field of Information and Communication Technologies through the staff exchange opportunities offered by IRSES. The structuring action of the programme consists in co-advising PhD students between the two sides of the Mediterranean Sea. That action is chosen for its ability to give consistency and solidity to international cooperation: when two teams agree to cooperate on a research theme, when they come to agree on the selection of a PhD student who is advised by two of their members, a relation is set for at least three years with a strong commitment for success for the defence of the thesis. The impact of the action is increased by a networking organisation which links several teams on a common topic of research. The objective of the present proposal is therefore to add a high value to the whole activity by the co-advising sponsoring. A side effect of the activity is also to involve European institutions with the French ones in the management of the programme to transform it as true regional programme. Practically, the proposal aims at support: • mutual visits of the advisors • PhD stays • Yearly workshops gathering members of the teams involved in a same thematic network.

In precise mathematical terms, the goal of the project is to develop and apply K-theory and spectral geometry for Galois-type extensions of noncommutative algebras. We seek verifiable criteria to distinguish different isomorphism classes of principal extensions of noncommutative algebras and K-theory -classes of modules associated to them. On the geometric side, we aim to achieve a new guiding principle in gluing together smooth noncommutative geometries along boundaries.

The land surface as part of the Earth system affects the regional and global climate, and the climate in turn has an effect on the structure of the land surface. Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, changing aerosol composition and load as well as land surface changes are influencing the climate of the Earth, globally as well as regionally. China and the Asia monsoon area have been identified as one of the critical areas of the Earth where environmental changes can have a profound effect on the whole Earth system. The main objective of Land-Atmosphere Interactions in China (LAIC) joint research programme is to increase mobility and exchange of researchers between EU countries and China to obtain better understanding of land-atmosphere interactions for climate change research and environmental policy in China. This program focuses on four areas: 1) megacities, atmospheric composition and air quality, including aerosol particles; 2) drylands and the hydrological cycle; 3) process modelling and regional climate modelling 4) carbon cycle and trace gas flux measurements, including research and knowledge transfer at comprehensive flux measurement sites. LAIC programme builds a basis for long-term collaboration between EU and Chinese research organizations in the area of climate change and air quality research. LAIC will exploit complementary expertise of the participant organizations and participants in order to create synergies among participants and to establish long-lasting partnership between European and Chinese research organizations. LAIC programme will utilize the state-of-the-art knowledge of the leading European and Chinese climate change and air quality researchers to achieve new scientific results and breakthroughs. As multi- and cross-disciplinary studies essential in climate change research are lacking in China, this programme will essentially also work towards an integrated approach for future joint international projects.

The UKIDSS survey and the upcoming VISTA surveys is/will produce unbiased wide field near-infrared observations that encompasses entire star forming regions. The same can be effectively combined with the Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared observations and the CO molecular line observations from the COMPLETE and millimeter continuum surveys from the SCUBA2 and HARP to conduct wide-field studies of star forming regions. Further, individual H2 line surveys and CO line surveys will reveal the outflows in these molecular clouds. We aim to combine this multi-wavelength observations to investigate the structure, evolution and dynamics of young stellar population in molecular clouds and embedded clusters and study the initial mass function, feed back mechanisms from outflows and winds from massive stars. The results can be used to test theoretical scenarios of star formation. The same datasets will also be used to address a second objective to investigate the formation of massive stars within these molecular clouds. The mechanism of the formation of massive stars and their early influence on the evolution of the star formation process within the molecular clouds, influencing the variables such as star formation efficiency in the context of queiscent and triggered star formation will be examined. The consortium members involved in the EU and third country(India) have individually and to some extent in collaboration pursued several aspects of the above research. The magnitude of available and to-be available data is enormous and efficient exploitation of these data for science investigation require multiple groups working on various aspects of the science. Through this proposal we aim to combine the expertise and efforts of three groups to obtain maximum output from the wide-field surveys of star forming regions.
