computational discovery of numerical algorithms for animation and simulation of natural phenomena

modern numerical algorithms and high performance computing systems are capable of simulating physical systems far more efficiently than those from just few years ago however this recent increase in computational power comes with an insatiable demand for complexity and scale scientists and artists now wish to model textiles at the level of individual fibers and simulate oceans down to the smallest ripple the typical strategy of analytically deriving integrators and handtuning parameters will inevitably fail to cope with the increasing nonlinearity and complexity of these problems this shift in problem complexity necessitates entirely novel strategies for discovering numerical algorithmswe will redefine the state of the art in numerical simulation and animation by combining three different approaches first we will develop analytical tools customized for large scales we will derive optimal numerical algorithms by viewing physics through the lens of computational complexity and by observing limiting behaviors as problems increase in size next we will gain physical insights by simulating huge numbers of smaller simulations and generating large data sets by discovering trends in this data we will faithfully approximate aggregate behaviors in systems that are far too complex for analytical techniques to penetrate finally by framing the derivation of numerical algorithms as a constrained optimization problem we will be able to deliver provably optimal code for a given piece of hardware and precisely control accuracyefficiency tradeoffsthe combination of these research directions will enable efficient simulations of massively complicated systems that are currently unfeasible to compute due to the timely and groundbreaking nature of these proposed directions we also expect to develop entirely unprecedented methods for physics simulation and discover a number of theoretical insights and scientific advances along the way

politics of the periphery in urban latin america reconceptualising politics from the margins

existing theory on how residents of urban peripheries engage with the state is largely statecentric political anthropology and urban studies have generally conceptualised peripherystate engagements as nonstandard citizenship informal politics or protest such conceptualisations risk contributing to inequality as they understand the politics of marginalised city residents as less than or only as anti formal state policies and citizenship regimespopular will counter this disparity by developing a theory of politics that reconceptualises peripherystate engagements from the vantage point of the periphery this reconceptualisation will connect the concepts and practices residents use as part of their political praxis to recent anthropological debates that pluralise and decentre our understandings of politics it will approach the variety of practices inherent in peripherystate engagements as a politics of the periphery a diverse politics in its own right and on its own terms that emerges from local modes of agency subjectivities and the social configurations of urban populations which are marginalised on a daily basis popular will ethnographically study the politics of the periphery in three domains governance electoral politics and activism it will compare these politics in lowincome neighbourhoods in three cities in latin americamedelln colombia santiago de cuba cuba and recife brazila region known for its urban poverty popular mobilisations and the diversity of government engagements with marginalised populations the three city governments can be characterised as respectively neoliberal capitalist socialist and moderately neoliberal with a socialist legacy each case represents a distinct approach towards the urban periphery through a new theory of politics that centres upon the periphery popular will move the fields of anthropology and urban studies beyond the inequalities inherent in current theories
biomassderived sustainable fuels by cascade condensation and hydrodeoxygenation on single atom catalysts

lignocellulose is the largest renewable carbon source that does not compete with food or land and can be catalytically converted into fuels accessing such highvalue chemicals and biofuels is challenging due to the high strength of co and ch bonds requiring highenergy or multireaction steps thus the strategic frontier of the bio2saf project aims to design a novel multifunctional singleatom catalyst utilizing densely and selectively functionalized graphene for sustainable fuels by cascade condensation and hydrodeoxygenation on nonnoble metal heterogeneous catalysts singleatom catalysts sacs may effectively perform hdo due to the selective adsorption of reactants on highly exposed active sites due to the lower density of state dos near the fermi level than the bulk catalysts bio2saf develops in three pillars development of tandem oxophilic single atom super doped graphene sdgsacsi m1 ti mo w nb zr for acidic functions mg ca for basic catalysis for condensation this design aims at the efficient production of longer condensed species from the bioderived components to cyclic and noncyclic alkanes in the range of c9c16 at high selectivity the second pillar aims at the development of tandem nonnoble metal single atom super doped graphene sdgsacsmii m2 ni cu co fe etc for hydrodeoxygenation of aldol condensation products the third pillar focuses on development of graphene derivatives structurally and chemically tailored with dense mi and miitype sacs for cascade reactions by levering the knowhow and documented expertise of the host institution on graphene chemistry and single metal atom engineering and of the experienced researcher on biomass valorization and catalysis bio2saf will apply and expand these concepts towards sustainable production of fuels from waste biomass the bio2saf project will thus tackle pressing societal needs to develop technologies for decreasing our dependence on depleting fossil fuel reserves

luminescent implants as ports for lightbased therapies

a major difficulty in developing clinically useful treatments is to deliver therapeutic action with spatiotemporal precision and pharmacological specificity this unmet need is exemplified in 1 neuropathic pain which is due to abnormal inflammation andor excitability of localized somatosensory nerves sometimes resembling sudden stabbings or electric shocks and in 2 epilepsy a disease characterized by seizures that are due to a transient state of synchronized firing of a localized population of cortical neurons inflammation can be treated with photobiomodulation pbm but requires localized delivery of light these conditions can be also treated with neuroinhibitory drugs eg inhibitors of sodium channels potentiators of gabaa receptors but their systemic adverse side effects pose limitations to their safety and efficacy and once administered their activity cannot be controlled to address this issue we will use locally emitted light which delivers antiinflammatory action by pbm it also allows turning on and off the pharmacological action of photoswitchable drugs locally and on demand to illuminate the target sites in the body we will develop phototheraports lightemitting implants based on upconverting nanoparticles their visible light emission can be controlled remotely and noninvasively with infrared light applied externally through the tissue and bone their encapsulation offers high efficacy and longterm tolerability we will also develop suitable photoswitchable drugs with antiinflammatory and neuroinhibitory activity and we will preclinically test the efficacy and safety of both devices and drugs we will demonstrate preclinically a novel treatment modality to reduce inflammation and neuroinhibition locally and on demand in wellestablished animal models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain peripheral spinal cord brain cingulate cortex and epilepsy focal seizures producing a deep impact in the management of these conditions
understanding the formation movement and hostrock interaction of upper crustal aqueous fluids on earth from rock grain to tectonic plate scale

fluids play a critical role in the evolution and chemical modification of the earths crust they control heat and mass transfer mineral reactions and deformation processes the movement and physiochemical interaction of aqueous geofluids with rocks in the earths upper crust is thereby fundamental for critical raw material mineralisation and the formation of geothermal fluid flow systems with the rapidly increasing global demand for raw materials the eu faces significant challenges regarding its dependencies on access to raw materials fluid movement in the upper crust is by its nature controlled by an interaction of physical and chemical processes that can operate from the tectonic plate to the microscopic rock grain scales fully understanding these complex systems inherently requires a multidisciplinarymultiscale approach using cutting edge structural geology mineralogypetrology geochemical and geophysical tools formovfluid proposes to adopt new and existing laboratory and field techniques in these geoscience subdisciplines to address key knowledge gaps related to fluid flow drivers pathways and fluidrock reactions in doing so the objective of formovfluid is to train 15 doctoral researchers in cutting edge geoscience field and laboratory techniques and broader professional skills to develop future leaders in the field this will contribute significantly to addressing the climate emergency by developing novel solutions for the energy transition that hinges on enhanced access to hydrothermalhosted critical metal deposits as highlighted in the eu critical raw materials act the aims of formovfluid are to further our understanding of the movement and physiochemical interaction of aqueous fluids with rocks in a variety of tectonic settings in the earths upper crust and to establish a longterm pansector research network that will go on to contribute to european geofluid research and to underpin europes raw material and geothermal sectors
unravelling the neuroethological components of emotions in honey bees

the idea that invertebrates may have basic or primitive forms of emotions is growing in part this is based on cumulative evidence of highlevel cognitive skills in these miniature brained animals however the mere presence of highorder cognitive skills does not imply the existence of emotional states and the characterization of the mechanisms underlying emotional states in invertebrates is still at its infancy the study of proximate mechanisms of emotions in invertebrates has the potential to bypass the discussion on the appropriateness of semantics labels and advance our understanding of how the neural architecture and neurotransmitters involved in invertebrates emotions compare to those found in mammals including humans this project will exploit a multicomponent approach including behavioural neurophysiological and cognitive correlates to obtain powerful insights on the emotion of fear in invertebrates using the honey bee apis mellifera as a model system this project will 1 characterise the behavioural and physiological correlates of fear using an equivalent paradigm of fear conditioning widely used in vertebrates 2 investigate the molecular cascade of fear by quantifying the biogenic amines and neuropeptides in specific brain regions and circulating neurohormones in the haemolymph using cutting edge techniques and 3 test the effect of blocking or activating different aminergichormonal systems by local injection of specific drugsamineshormones in the brainhaemolymph to identify casual links between specific brain regions and emotional processing besides advancing our current understanding of the emotional system of invertebrates the project outputs will affect how we interact with invertebrates and will open fruitful ethical discussions to change current research policies
