next generation imaging technologies to probe structure and function of biological specimen across scales in their natural context

the imagine project will develop the next generation of scalecrossing imaging technologies to enable an integrated investigation of structure and function of biological systems it will focus on developing and integrating four major disruptive microscopy technologies namely xray imaging cryo electron microscopy cryo and dynamic superresolution microscopy and large volume intravital light microscopy it will furthermore develop the aipowered image analysis and data integrationsharing capabilities that are needed to correlate these technologies and make their data widely available to harness their power for some of the most pressing societal challenges imagine will prepare its new imaging technologies to be deployed in the field on europes seas and coastlines so that the collection of environmental specimen in their natural context can be coupled with their study by highest resolution imaging technologiesthe imagine technologies are currently at the cutting edge of physics and engineering and therefore only available in isolation and to specialists the project aims to bring them to the european life science user community at large by developing and validating them for service readiness so that they can be provided as future services by europes research infrastructures ris to this end the project will train ri staff on the operation and use of the imagine technologies to promote broad dissemination as commercial instruments imagine will develop technologies jointly between academia and industry promoting open innovation with key instrumentation manufacturers in the imaging fieldthe life science community increasingly relies on ris to access ever more complex and rapidly developing scientific instruments the scalecrossing imaging technologies developed by imagine will be critical to empower groundbreaking research in europe that is so urgently needed to address some of the biggest challenges our societies will face in the future
a fast numerical solver for electromagnetic compatibility assessment of aircrafts made using nano and micro engineered materials

the electromagnetic compatibility emc certification methods of aircrafts are predominantly based on experimental testing to fulfill some standard eg do160 this phase involves costly measurement techniques and high rework costs are required when emc weaknesses and vulnerabilities are detected especially at late development stages to alleviate this situation numerical solvers are increasingly considered to complement and support experimental means numerical solvers enable the engineer to address the full complexity of a problem and to better understand the impact of changing key parameters in shielding in this work we will address two challenges currently identified by aeronautic industry first we will develop suitable macroscopic models of novel nano and micro engineered smart materials used jointly with carbon fiber composite cfc ones to be used in fullwave numerical solvers in general and specifically in the finitedifference timedomain fdtd method for this we will start from their microscopic structure to get realistic macroscopic electric and magnetic dispersive isoanisotropic and eventually non linear constitutive parameters second specific subcell models of junctions slots gaps curvatures etc will be devised for their implementation into fdtd to prevent bruteforce simulation approaches of geometrically involved parts of the aircraft otherwise computationally prohibitive as a result the fdtd method will be endowed with the capability of simulating realistic emi problems of a whole aircraft with affordable computational resources in terms of memory and cpu time including cfcs and novel smart materials with all geometrical fine details relevant from the electromagnetic point of view

ships harbouring in ports

until the emergence of the modern container ship vessels spent a significant part of their lifespan in a harbour the time period when a ship sets anchor in a harbour is key as the entire harbour was designed to offer mooring and all the facilities required for her stay yet a harbour was not merely the accumulation of standings structures made of stone concrete or wood that helped ships make fast in roman harbours associated activities extended beyond their principal basin taking place on a far larger scale and in an agglomeration of different areas than previously conceived by scholars and archaeologists these together constituted a harbour system one of the most significant foundations of ancient economies the projects aims are 1 to identify the various operational parts of harbours 2 to consider how the functions carried out there were combined into a larger area and 3 to consolidate a set of tools that together comprise a unified methodology which can be applied to examples elsewhere beyond these larger concerns the project explores specific issues regarding ships when mooring in harbours what type of vessels did they include what were their needs and what structures could fulfil them did they change according to the different seasons of the year the project comprises an investigation of what we term a harbour system relying on the three case studies of caesarea terracina and portvendres and considers the specificities of each site and their individual environmental context the end goal is that the interdisciplinary methodology developed by our project at the above sites explored within a comparative framework can be later adapted and applied to similar harbour sites elsewhere

smart roots for reducing greenhouse gases emissions from rice cropping

rice production is the main agricultural source of greenhouse gases ie carbon dioxide co2 nitrous oxide n2o and methane ch4 scientific evidence suggest that greenhouse gases ghgs produced and accumulated in rice paddies flooded soils can be vented out to atmosphere through plant tissues however information on the plant characteristics influencing such ghgs emission processes is scarce the mechanisms of ghgs diffusion from rhizosphere to and along the roots and the vent of these ghgs to atmosphere as well as the permeability coefficient of roots to ghgs are largely unknown this project aims to identify characteristics of rice roots that reduce both the vent of ghgs through plant tissues from soils to atmosphere through root apoplastic barriers and the production of ghgs in soils oxidation of ch4 to co2 moreover this project will study the root permeability to ghgs and the anatomical and chemical characteristics contributing to ghgs diffusion through plants this project will use a multidisciplinary approach combining stateoftheart physiological measurements including microsensing technology for in vivo gas fluxes gas chromatography mass spectrometry and microscopy characterization of plant tissues it is hypothesized that genotypes with tight barriers to radial oxygen loss will have less permeability to ghgs moreover genotypes with no barriers to radial oxygen loss high number of laterals and an efficient roots system for o2 transport will allow high ch4 oxidation to co2 thus reducing the venting of this potent ghg to atmosphere this project will identify root phenotypic differences among rice cultivars and this will serve as a basis for developing high yielding cultivars with desirable traits reducing ghgs emissions from flooded soils
