The main objective of this project is to create fundamental understanding in dynamical systems theory and to apply this theory in formulating and analyzing real world models met especially in Neuroscience, Plasma Physics and Medicine. The specific objectives, tasks and methodology of this proposal are contained in the 5 WPs of the project. In WP1 we want to develop new methods for the center and isochronicity problems for analytic and non-analytic systems, study bifurcations of limit cycles and critical periods, including time-reversible systems with perturbations, and investigate reaction-diffusion and fractional differential equations. In WP2 we deal with the problem of integrability for some differential systems with invariant algebraic curves, classification of cubic systems with a given number of invariant lines, study global attractors of almost periodic dynamical systems and their topological structure, respectively, Levitan/Bohr almost periodic motions of differential/difference equations. The main objective of WP3 is to study dynamics of some classes of continuous and discontinuous vector fields, preserving, respectively, breaking some symmetries, study of their singularities and closed orbits for classes of piecewise linear vector fields. WP4 deals with Hamiltonian systems in Plasma Physics, twist and non-twist area preserving maps, further studies of a recent model proposed to study some phenomena occurring in the process of plasma’s fusion in Tokamaks, numerical methods, and the study of symmetries of certain kinds of k-cosymplectic Hamiltonians. The last WP tackles mathematical models in Neuroscience and Medicine. Firstly, we study several ODE-based and map-based neuronal models, survey in vivo results with respect to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and propose a model for ASD. Secondly, we study several approaches to mathematical models for diabetes. Finally, bone remodeling by means of convection-diffusion-reaction equations is our last task.

International Clinical Research Centre (ICRC) is an emerging centre of excellence in the European Research Area (ERA). It is an innovative science and research centre and a top-quality public healthcare centre focusing on prevention, early detection and cure primarily of cardiovascular and neurological diseases. ICRC is based on almost ten years of successful cooperation between St. Anne ́s University Hospital in Brno and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota (USA). Increasingly, partnership with knowledgeable research institution in the EU is being built, however the integration to the European Research Area currently represents a week point of ICRC. The ambitious idea to establish ICRC materialized in 2010, after a successful application for funding under the Operational Program "Research and Development for Innovation" which is co-financed by the Structural funds of the European Union. The justification for such a massive investment from Structural Funds and national funds came mainly from our track-record in producing outstanding research results, both academic papers and applied results, in partnership with Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota and their industrial partners. What our centre lacks so far is a stronger European dimension. For this very reason, we would like to use the opportunity offered through the RegPot funding for developing stronger ties with key European players relevant to our research focus, both academic institutions and industrial partners. Moreover we expect that the proposed project will enhance the RTD capacity and capability especially in the area of human potential, it will enhance ICRC innovation potential and improve visibility of ICRC.

Future development of wireless communications networks will require radical improvements over the existing radio transmission and network solutions to support tremendous growth of data traffic in future networks in an energy-efficient manner. The project Full-Duplex Radios for Local Access (DUPLO) aims at developing new technology and system solutions for future generations of mobile data networks by introducing a new full-duplex radio transmission paradigm, the same carrier frequency is used for transmission and reception at the same time. The approach holds the potential to significantly increase the capacity, and will focus on energy efficient solutions which also enable a more flexible use of the spectrum. DUPLO will study and develop technical solutions for efficient self-interference cancellation in wireless transceiver to enable usage of full-duplex transmission in different nodes of the wireless communications networks, including access points, devices and relay nodes. Attainable gains of full-duplex transmission and required system level solutions to accommodate the new transmission mode in wireless communications networks will be investigated. The main focus will be in small radio cell operation environment. Novel solutions for antenna, RF and baseband domain self-interference cancellation will be analyzed and developed. The most promising concepts will be implemented in a test hardware circuitry. A proof-of-concept test platform will integrate the developed technical solutions together into functional full-duplex communication system, which can be used in testing and further development of novel solutions.

HUMUNITY is a PhD school which shall train young scientists in novel approaches to the study of human mucosal immunity by the use of advanced engineered human cell culture models. The scientific goal is to develop integrated cell-biological models in which cultured human primary cells mimic the architecture and the interactions of the original tissue, by uniting powerful classical cell culture skills, innovative material science and advanced high-content detection systems. Specifically, students will study the innate inflammatory response to agents presented at mucosal surfaces of lung and gut, in both healthy and pathological conditions, by implementing novel in vitro systems that robustly reproduce the reactivity of human tissues in vivo. These models will also have multiple industrially-exploitable applications, from preclinical testing of candidate therapeutics in personalised medicine approaches to screening of drugs and biosafety assessment, thereby reducing significantly the need of animal experimentation. Four trainees will experience an intersectoral training programme encompassing a 18-month internship in a UK SME expert in isolation and culture of human primary cells (AvantiCell Science), and 18 months in academic institutions (the Italian research organisation CNR, with secondments to the Universities of Pisa and Salzburg). Trainees enrolled in the PhD programme in Clinical Physiopathology and Pharmacology at the University of Pisa will engage in training-by-research, and will participate in a series of scientific and technical training courses provided by each institution, in addition to joint scientific meetings and transferable skills courses organised by the associated management partner ALTA. Eventually, fellows will gain experience in technology transfer when moving their prototypical systems to commercially exploitable assest relevant to different industry sectors, from pharmaceuticals through food and healthcare to environmental safety.

The widespread use of molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic molecular systems—which by and large rely upon electronic and chemical effects to carry out their functions—and the machines of the macroscopic world, which utilize the synchronized movements of smaller parts to perform particular tasks. The aim of this project is to design, construct and investigate the operation of synthetic molecular machines capable of performing sophisticated tasks in chemical synthesis. Its successful demonstration would give mankind the beginnings of a potentially game-changing new approach for the synthesis of organic molecules.

This proposal aims at strengthening the connections between more fundamentally oriented areas of mathematics like algebra, geometry, analysis, and topology, and the more applied oriented and more recently emerging disciplines of discrete mathematics, optimization, and algorithmics. The overall goal of the project is to obtain, with methods from fundamental mathematics, new effective tools to unravel the complexity of structures like graphs, networks, codes, knots, polynomials, and tensors, and to get a grip on such complex structures by new efficient characterizations, sharper bounds, and faster algorithms. In the last few years, there have been several new developments where methods from representation theory, invariant theory, algebraic geometry, measure theory, functional analysis, and topology found new applications in discrete mathematics and optimization, both theoretically and algorithmically. Among the typical application areas are networks, coding, routing, timetabling, statistical and quantum physics, and computer science. The project focuses in particular on: A. Understanding partition functions with invariant theory and algebraic geometry B. Graph limits, regularity, Hilbert spaces, and low rank approximation of polynomials C. Reducing complexity in optimization by exploiting symmetry with representation theory D. Reducing complexity in discrete optimization by homotopy and cohomology These research modules are interconnected by themes like symmetry, regularity, and complexity, and by common methods from algebra, analysis, geometry, and topology.
