  Digital Hydraulic System Control - investigating novel digital switched hydraulic converters and their feasibility via analytical modelling and experimental validation.
University of Bath Department of Mechanical Engineering
  Dr M Pan
Application Deadline: 30 April 2019
In most hydraulically powered systems, the speed and/or force of a load are controlled using valves to throttle the flow and thus reduce the hydraulic pressure.

  Physiological and molecular characterisation of altered root hydraulic properties in rice due to allelic variation or genetic manipulation of plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs, a class of aquaporins)
Aberdeen University School of Biological Sciences
  Prof A Price
Applications accepted all year round
A cluster of three PIPs on chromosome 7 of rice are all candidate genes for a drought avoidance locus. These genes are highly expressed in roots and thought to have a major role in root hydraulic conductance.

  Secondary currents in rough-bed open-channel flows and their effects on hydraulic resistance
Aberdeen University School of Engineering
  Prof V Nikora, Dr S Cameron
Applications accepted all year round
Secondary currents in open-channel flows such as rivers and canals play a key role in transport of momentum, sediments, nutrients, and other substances.

  The Impact of Thermal Plumes on Aquifer Properties and Groundwater Quality
Queen’s University Belfast QUADRAT
  Dr U Ofterdinger, Dr J C Comte
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
"Global energy needs are steadily rising with a predicted increase of 45% within the next 15 years. In the long-term, sustainable energy is hoped to connect economic growth to increased social equity while preserving natural resources in line with the UN sustainable development goals.

  Establishing a Scientific-Evidence Base for a Paradigm Shift for Regenerative Clinical Dentistry
University of Birmingham School of Dentistry
  Dr J Camilleri
Applications accepted all year round
Management of diseases to the dental pulp is undertaken clinically using protocols that are historical and have no scientific background.
Details
Type/Funding
  Employing artificial intelligence & machine learning to optimise flood control for 21st Century cities
University of Leeds School of Mathematics
  Prof O Bokhove
Applications accepted all year round
Summary Rational and unique mathematical strategies for active flood control will be developed and tested in the design of flood alleviation schemes for UK rivers, such as Yorkshire’s Aire and Calder Rivers, based on increasing flood-plain storage capacity.
