Profitable Pruning of Neural Networks – ProPruNN
Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have become the state of the art in the fields of Image Classification, Object Detection and Machine Translation, among others. However, this comes at the cost of increased
Identification of aging-like mechanisms regulating neurogenesis in depression – NeuAgeDep
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the single largest contributor to disability worldwide, affecting as many as 300 million people annually, and about one third of all patients do not respond sufficie
How environment and experience alter hippocampal CA2 function – BadBoredom
While the ability to form and recall memories is essential for survival, it is also key to forming relationships with others and defines our sense of self. The hippocampus has long been recognized as
Multimodel Streaming Data Management – POLYFLOW
The need for addressing data variety paved the road to the advent of multidatabases, which the Turing Award winner M. Stonebraker endorsed. Multi-databases include multistores, which expose a unified
Speech-in-noise Intelligibility Deficits: Designing Psychophysical and Electrophysiological Markers of Spectral Shape-Coding Sensitive to Cochlear Synaptopathy – INSPECTSYN
At present, it is estimated that over 10% of individuals with clinically-normal audiograms have significant difficulty understanding speech-in-noise (SPiN). In particular, synaptopathy - the loss of s
Effect of Complex Loading histories on the Onset of Sliding of ElastomeR contacts (CLOSER) – CLOSER
Contacts involving elastomers combine strong friction and strong adhesion, two hysteretic effects making their sliding transition very dependent on the loading history. The monotonic and unidirectiona
Antibacterial and Thermosensitive Macromolecular Coatings for the Release of Healing Agent on Chronic wounds – ARHES
Wound healing is a complex process aiming at maintaining the barrier function of skin. Failing to achieve sufficient healing, chronic wounds lead to persistent infections and the inability of skin cel
Galaxy rotation curves as DARK matter laboratory – DARK
The Universe’s matter content is dominated by a non-visible dark matter (DM). This concept of DM became part of mainstream research only in the 1970s, from the remarkable flat rotation curves (RC) of
Glyphosate, diet and genetics: interactions via the gut microbiota and effects on host’s health – GADGET
Omnipresence of glyphosate in food and water represents a significant public health concern and its toxicity in mammals is subject to many controversies. Glyphosate acts as an herbicide by inhibiting
Development of a Targeted Thrombolysis and Anticoagulation approach to Improve Recanalization in stroke patients – TTAIR
The goal of this project is to develop and characterize an innovative combined thrombolytic and anticoagulant approach for ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke is a neurological deficit resulting from an
