The plant parasitic mites represent major pests in agriculture throughout the world. Widespread use of the insecticides and acaricides can cause serious ecological problems. These chemicals kill non-target organisms including predators, and threaten human health. The major threats include residual chemicals on crops, as well as the evolution of resistance to these chemicals among spider mite populations. However, the exceedingly high levels of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetable products may pose significant problems. The EU Parliament and of the Council decided reducing the risks and impacts of pesticides on human health and the environment and promoting the use of IPM and of alternative approaches or techniques such as non-chemical alternatives to pesticides. For improving effective mite control, the key factor is new diagnostic methods which include taxonomic way, new techniques, and coordination of the studies between mite and host relationship and predator- prey associations. Addditionally, alternatives to the use of pesticides are needed due to their unexpected negative effects, and biological control provides the one of the best options. Predatory mites, Phytoseiidae, are excellent biological control agents that suppress spider mites as well as other pests in agricultural areas. The main aim of this research is professional European scientist capacity building through exchanging young scientist about new, classical and rapid diagnostic methods for tetranychid and phytoseiid mites based on both molecular markers (DNA) and comprehensive morphological review using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The partners of DetanMite have high level scientific expertise about plant parasitic and predatory mites and good complementarily in competences and skills. This project brings together a very strong team who will produce solutions to agricultural and environmental problems due to supporting biological control in agricultural production of EU and the world.

The passage of electric current through interfaces between media with different electrochemical properties is accompanied by changes in the solution composition close to the interfaces (concentration polarization). Another phenomenon occurring at solid-liquid interfaces is the charge separation and formation of (equilibrium and non-equilibrium) double electric layers. Subject to external and/or spontaneously arising electric fields and ion-composition gradients, the space charges give rise to volume-transfer phenomena. Their intensity is strongly dependent on the ion composition of the liquid phase, which can change considerably close to current-polarized interfaces. This is one of the mechanisms of coupling between the ion- and volume-transfer phenomena in heterogeneous systems. At the same time, the space-charge-related volume transfer can strongly modify the solution composition close to polarized interfaces via convective transfer of solutes. This is another mechanism of coupling between the phenomena of interest. The interplay of these two mechanisms gives rise to a number of non-linear, non-1D and non-stationary phenomena. Their modeling is difficult but important for the optimization of applications in clean energy, advanced water treatment, micro-analysis, and so on. Because of complexity of the objects involved, such a model cannot be formulated from first principles and has to use input parameters determined experimentally. Therefore, fundamental experimentation is an indispensable constituent part of the modeling effort. Important elements of this model and/or corresponding fundamental experimentation have been developed in the previous studies of the Proposers. The purpose of this project is to facilitate the knowledge transfer between them to make possible further development and integration of these elements into a self-consistent and comprehensive model. Its utility will be validated via optimization of several practically-relevant systems/processes.

The project addresses the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in democratization processes, bridging social science approaches to social movements and democracy. With a theoretical interest in the interactions between structure and agency, the project starts by revisiting the “transitology” approach to democratization and the political process approach to social movements, before moving towards more innovative approaches in both areas. From the theoretical point of view, a main innovation will be in addressing both structural preconditions as well as actors’ strategies, looking at the intersection of structure and agency. In an historical and comparative perspective, I aim to develop a description and an understanding of the conditions and effects of the participation of civil society organizations in the various stages of democratization processes. Different parts of the research will address different sub-questions linked to the broad question of CSOs’ participation in democratization processes: a) under which (external and internal) conditions and through which mechanisms do CSOs support democratization processes? b) Under which conditions and through which mechanisms do they play an important role in democratization processes? c) Under which conditions and through which mechanisms are they successful in triggering democratization processes? d) And, finally, what is the legacy of the participation of civil society during transitions to democracy on the quality of democracy during consolidation? The main empirical focus will be on recent democratization processes in EU member and associated states. The comparative research design will, however, also include selected comparisons with oppositional social movements in authoritarian regimes as well as democratization processes in other historical times and geopolitical regions. From an empirical point of view, a main innovation will lie in the development of mixed method strategies.

Economic theory is in a crisis. In our lifetime, we have witnessed revolutions in the field that have enriched economics with new models and concepts: the information revolution in the 70's, the game theory mania in the 80's and to a lesser extent the emergence of models of bounded rationality in the 90's. But it's been a long time since we've seen any exciting developments in economic theory. The first part of the project is methodological. I would like to persuade young researchers that the current style of economic theory is one of the factors behind this stagnation. At the core of this part of the project is a future book discussing the style of modeling in economic theory. My plan is to "re-write" a sample of top journals papers and to demonstrate that the ideas in those papers could and should have been presented through much simpler models and in far shorter papers. The above dissatisfaction brings me to the second and more pretentious part of the project. I would like to use my experience in coming up with original models in economic theory in order to construct some truly novel models. I seek a fresh start, to whatever extent that is possible, which would hopefully yield entirely new models based on non-conventional primitives. In particular, I would like to use novel typologies of economic agents. This objective is related to the third part of the project, which is motivated by my recent experimental work. My goal is to find correlations in the behavior of subjects and to use them in defining new "typologies" of economic agents. The experiments would involve surveys with large samples (obtained through my pedagogical website gametheory.tau.ac.il and media connections), which are essential for such a task; however, at the same time, I intend to use standard experimental procedures in order to minimize any reservations that might arise regarding my experimental methods.

The aim of this project is to analyze dynamics of chromatin-related proteins in living cells after induced DNA damage. Cells have developed sophisticated mechanisms to overcome damage to DNA resulting in double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by toxic agents of our environment. Improper repair of DSBs can lead to the development of cancer. Once a cancer has developed, radiation and chemotherapy are used to damage DNA in order to kill the tumor cells. Thus, the information of how cells respond to DNA damage is critical for understanding both the development of cancer and its therapy. We want to contribute to this knowledge by the elucidation of the processes changing the chromatin structure in the DSB vicinity. Chromatin changes represent the fundamental response of the cell to DSB induction that should allow the access of repair proteins to DNA for efficient signaling and repair. It should be found how the chromatin structure is modified, what is the difference in chromatin dynamics in open and compact chromatin compartments and how are all these processes coordinated in time to allow accumulation of repair proteins for full restoration of genome integrity. The synergy of Czech expertise and the experience of Polish and Russian partners in these areas is a perfect match that will allow further advancements of science. Integration of the newest equipments and technologies together: 3D Microscopy of living cells, FISH technique, immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blotting, ChIP-PCR, ChIP-on-chips, FRAP, FLIP FRET techniques (Czech and Polish partners) and Scanning Flow Cytometry, Fluorescence Microscopy (Russian partners) should give the response to reach the aim of this project.

Due to the growth of migration, bilingualism in Europe is increasing considerably. Russian speakers constitute a significant proportion of these immigrants. Indeed, Russian is the most frequent minority language in Germany with more than 2 million speakers. Parallel to the growing bilingualism, children show increasing problems in language development. Professionals working with children lack clinical assessment tools for an early recognition of Specific Language Impairment (SLI) in bilingual children and often confuse the effects of bilingualism and SLI. The increasing needs for efficient intervention compel researchers to provide scientifically valid tools for clinical treatments. Current clinical diagnostic tools are mainly based on testing bilingual morphosyntactic phenomena, with much less attention paid to disentangling SLI and bilingualism. The studies on bilingualism and SLI also pay only little attention to the domain of discourse coherence, even though discourse competence is a key property of successful communication. This project aims to fill the gap by providing insights into combined and separate effects of bilingualism and SLI in the domain of referential and relational discourse coherence. To this end, we will collect and analyze comprehension and production data from bilingual children. The target population are native speakers of Russian acquiring Dutch or German either from birth or from around age 3 on. The performance of bilingual children will be compared to that of monolingual controls with and without SLI. The research teams participating in this project (Utrecht, Berlin, St. Petersburg) will bring in their expertise in the acquisition of Dutch, German and Russian, respectively. Methodologically, the project will benefit from the participants’ complementary experience with elicitation procedures (Berlin) and eye-tracking techniques (Utrecht). Collection of Russian-language data in St. Petersburg will provide the project with control group-data.

Cooperative communications constitute a new access scheme that tends to substitute traditional contention schemes for accessing the medium. The idea is to exploit the broadcast nature of wireless networks through retransmission of overheard information towards the destination, aiming at better performance as a result of spatial diversity. Initial research results are very promising, but are solely based on information theoretic models and simulations. These models involve simplifying assumptions and raise concerns as for the efficiency of the scheme in a real environment. In this project we plan to implement representative cooperative scenarios and study their performance in real-life wireless testbeds. The experiments will take place in already existing wireless testbeds of the partners. These will be federated under a common management framework and a special component of this framework will be developed to support experimentation in cooperative communications. The institutes participating in CoopLab exhibit a high level of experience in at least one of the two diverse scientific disciplines required to carry out the project successfully, theory of cooperative communications and wireless testbed implementation and management. Their expertise is proven by participation in relevant international research projects and numerous publications. The planned exchanges of researchers will enable transfer of know-how among them. The success of CoopLab will have a two-fold effect. It will advance the state-of-the-art in the field of cooperative communications through proof-of-concept real world experiments and it will establish a long-term sustainable collaboration of the partners through the federation of testbeds and exchange of knowledge.

The Karelian wooden architecture is recognized as an object of treat peculiarity and interest on an international scale. The study days are addressed to the universities and the institutions involved into the project and they set the promotion of research activities launched in this country as a target. The aim of the operation is to encourage the relations, not only the cultural ones, between Italy, Finland, Karelia bringing into contact operators of this field through a threading of meetings of which the present represents one of the first opportunities. The gained scientific experiences about topics liked to the recovery, the rehabilitation and the improvement of historical centres, with intensive activities of research and analyse, produced a know-how which is highly valuable at the present moment; especially for the use of specific applications of the new technologies, for the monitoring and for the data-management useful for the restoration, the urban planning and management in sensitive areas, like urban centres of historical and environmental interest. In particular the Karelian territory is configured as a dense area of elements which need a high attention in order to crease the value of the territory itself and its anthropic activities. The objective of a census of the traditional wooden architecture and natural environment and landscaping purposes is to determine not only the species and appearance but also the analysis of damages and the conditions, for identifying critical management factors. The census defines the landscaping and environmental aspects, as well as the diagnostic picture of each context on the basis of its intrinsic characteristics, possible untraditional elements, and finding the way to restablished the correct structure of the place. We are able to identify and define the intervention priorities. Innovative methods to survey and georeference data on architecture buildings allow us to acquire exact knowledge of the status of localities.
