[PROJECT] WALLTRAC - The Plant Cell Wall Training Consortium
ID: 263916
Start date: 2011-06-01, End date: 2016-02-29
"Plant cell walls constitute a highly complex and dynamic entity of extreme importance in plant growth and development. Growing cell walls can be considered as ""fibre composites"", where cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix of complex glycans. It is becoming incre...

[PROJECT] Placebo - Placebo effects of marketing actions. How prior experience modulates the effect of price on expectations about product efficacy
ID: 272548
Start date: 2011-04-01, End date: 2013-03-31
In this research project, the critical role of price in shaping expectancies about product efficacy (i.e., placebo effect of marketing actions) is investigated. While it has been demonstrated that a high versus low price may considerably affect subjective experiences (such as...

[PROJECT] NEHSTech - Nonlinear Energy Harvesting Solutions
for Micro- and Nano-Technologies
ID: 275437
Start date: 2011-05-02, End date: 2013-05-01
Vibration energy harvesting at micro-scale is considered essential to enable low-power, maintenance free and long-lasting wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, many problems still limit the efficiency of current vibration-driven generators: narrow bandwidth, low power den...

[PROJECT] Food attention - Paying attention to food: investigating the mechanisms underlying individual differences in the attention grabbing properties of food
ID: 274237
Start date: 2011-06-27, End date: 2012-06-26
We are surrounded by images of food in our daily lives and for some people this is a problem because they find it difficult to ignore food and are provoked into craving food and eating when they see food or pictures of food. This can lead to unhealthy weight gain. Therefore w...
