3D acquisition, processing and presentation of prehistoric European rock-art (3D-PITOTI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

There is ancient rock-art in most European countries and it is more common than cave art, with pictures and geometric shapes cut into rather than painted onto rock. This art exists in open-air surfaces exposed to the weather rather than inside caves. This wealth of Europe's cultural heritage is inaccessible, difficult to study but provides profound stories from our ancient past. Valcamonica, in th ...

Low Embodied Energy Advanced (Novel) Insulation Materials and Insulating Masonry Components for Energy Efficient Buildings (LEEMA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

A review of the embodied energy values of the various building materials shows that the embodied energy of the most widely used insulation materials in construction applications is characterised by very high values. This mainly results either from the energy intensive conditions applied for the manufacturing of the mineral based insulation materials or from the high embodied energies of the oil-ba ...

Integrating Numerical Simulation and Geometric Design Technology (INSIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The objective of this ITN is to develop the next generation methods integrating numerical simulation and geometric design technology. Currently, geometric design and simulation is based on different geometry representation hampering the effective design of Engineering structures, materials and components. Isogeometric analysis developed recently tries to remove those drawbacks by integrating CAD s ...

FERTIPLUS Reducing mineral fertilisers and agro-chemicals by recycling treated organic waste as compost and bio-char products (FERTIPLUS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

FERTIPLUS will identify urban and farm organic wastes that can be used to recycle nutrients into agriculture as biochar, compost or combinations of them. Urban and farm organic residues are a large source of nutrients and today not used to its full potential. FERTIPLUS will assess and use this potential and contribute to sustainable crop production and soil productivity and quality across regions ...
