Nature-experiences are on the decline, but does that mean environmental values are as well? Where the decrease of experiences of nature is often cited as a cause for dwindling appreciation of nature and consequently less commitment to environmental stewardship, I argue that the internet is an overlooked factor in multiplying nature experiences, creating nature values, and...
The SPACIOUS project aims to boost the scientific exploitation of ESA mission data by offering a new computational framework for astrophysical research that requires Big Data and Data Mining technologies to be achieved. SPACIOUS will raise the competitiveness of the EU scientific community by increasing the Big Data and Data Mining expertise and providing easier access to...
The COVID pandemic can be seen as an experiment conducted on the entirety of humankind (as almost everybody has been or will get infected with SARS-CoV-2). It will therefore have the best coverage over the widest variation possible and is therefore ideally suited to study the effects of infections with SARS-CoV-2 on large quantities of heterogeneous individuals.
Cardiovascular diseases remain the main cause of mortality worldwide; in particular, heart failure (HF) poses complex challenges in clinical practice, as it is associated with a significant variability in aetiologies, manifestations and risks, as well as in its progression andtrajectories over time. Clinical risks of HF can vary from reduced cardiac function and regular...
After decades of development and a Nobel prize, Molecular Dynamics (MD) has reached maturity. It is no longer an exotic technique used by a small group of theoreticians but rather a method extensively used by a very large community of users. Millions of supercomputer hours are devoted to collecting trajectories, thus producing a deluge of simulation data that the community is...
ASCENDER integrará las tecnologías más relevantes para permitir la aplicación de métodos de análisis de datos extremadamente grandes, en constante crecimiento, escasos, dispersos y heterogéneos. Para ello, el proyecto implementará una arquitectura software para el desarrollo, despliegue y ejecución eficiente de...
The COVID-19 pandemic has starkly demonstrated the need for better disease intelligence that is capable of anticipating and identifying epidemic risks and outbreaks. This includes emerging and re-emerging mosquito-borne disease (MBD) risks. In the absence of effective vaccine solutions for most MBDs, attention has turned to vector management as an effective, but underutilized opportunity for...
A key target of ecological transition towards the zero-pollution vision for 2050 is the prevention and control of pollutants. Transportation is a key source of urban air pollution, being the main responsible of NO2 and PM emissions, with a heavy toll on public health and wellbeing. This pressing need to monitor and reduce traffic-related emissions in urban areas calls for...
El projecte El Català i la IA (ECIA) té com objectiu generar els recursos lingüístics necessaris per al català, que permetin i facilitin desenvolupar aplicacions en llenguatge natural com chat bots, traductors automàtics, aplicacions d extracció d informació o resum automàtics, etc. La tecnologia de la llengua ha...
