Enhanced exposure assessment and omic profiling for high priority environmental exposures in Europe (EXPOSOMICS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

This project aims to predict individual disease risk related to the environment, by characterizing the external and internal exposome for common exposures (air and drinking water contaminants) during critical periods of life, including in utero. A large amount of health data is now available from longitudinal cohorts in both children and adults, with detailed information on risk factors, confounde ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW COST, LOW POWER CONSUMPTION SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID ICE FOR FISHING (RECOICE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

The aim of RECOICE is to produce ice without use of additional power from fishing boats. RECOICE is based on a heat recovery system that will provide heat (fuel) necessary to drive a Stirling engine. Since heat will be captured from the exhaust pipe of the boat’s existing diesel engine, it will not negatively impact fuel consumption. It is clearly seen, that operating an on-board liquid ice making ...

TRIMSCAN, making SME meat processors more competitive by using automatic in-line fat analysis in meat trimmings (TRIMSCAN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Meat trimmings are the main ingredient used for the production of many meat processed products like sausages and hamburgers. The EU is the world’s second largest producer of pork and beef meat trimmings with Tm 17M by year. Trimmings are typically produced at slaughterhouse to be sold in standard bins of 10, 25, 35 and 60 litres. The bins are manually prepared by trained operators to obtain specif ...

Retrofitable Automated Microtome System incorporating contactless sample transportation for Histology process (MICROLEAN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Histology is the microscopic examination of cell tissue samples and is routinely performed in research labs and, more widely, in hospitals for the early detection of diseases (histopathology). Histology is a complex process requiring several steps for the tissue sample preparation. The most demanding and time-consuming step is the microtomy, where the tissue sample, now dehydrated and placed insid ...
