Brain Microcirculation : Numerical simulation for inter-species translation with applications in human health (BrainMicroFlow)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,

The cerebral microvascular system is essential to a large variety of physiological processes in the brain, including blood delivery and blood flow regulation as a function of neuronal activity (neuro-vascular coupling). It plays a major role in the associated mechanisms leading to disease (stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, …). In the last decade, cutting edge technologies, including two-photon s ...

Resorbable Ceramic Biocomposites for Orthopaedic and Maxillofacial Applications (RESTORATION)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Ceramic composite materials have for many years been considered to show great promise in the repair of musculoskeletal defects. The materials can mimic the structure of bone, and devices made from the materials can be structured to closely match the mechanical requirements of implant sites. In addition, wide ranges of bioactivity are possible, from inert to fully resorbable.Bioceramics have most ...

Biosensor nanoarrays for environmental monitoring (BIOMONAR)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

BIOMONAR develops multiplexed nanoarray biosensors for environmental targets, i.e. pollutants and pathogens. The innovative approach engineers three sensor platforms (surface, liposomal, living cell) which exploit a panel of periplasmic binding proteins (PBPs) as the common selective element. The nanoarrays are integrated into a microfluidics system for in-situ monitoring. The strategy allows for ...

Improving Plant Cell Walls for Use as a Renewable Industrial Feedstock (RENEWALL)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

"With oil reserves diminishing and the effects of industrial emissions on global climate, there is a need for renewable carbon-neutral industrial feedstocks. First generation biorefineries, producing biofuels and bioplastics by the fermentation of sugar or starch, are seeing a rapid expansion and are adding stress to food supplies. A more sustainable option is to use plant biomass from agricultura ...

A Preparatory phase proposal for the Square Kilometre Array (PrepSKA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the largest scientific projects ever undertaken. It is a machine designed to answer some of the big questions of our time: what is Dark Energy? Was Einstein right about gravity? What is the nature of dark matter? Can we detect gravitational waves? When and how did the first stars and galaxies form? What was the origin of cosmic magnetism? How do Eart ...

Next generation turbulent multiphase CFD modelling for the electrochemical process industries (MELPRIN)

Start date: Dec 15, 2008, End date: Dec 14, 2011,

The chlorate process and the chlor-alkali process are just two examples of widely-used industrial processes in which electrochemical reactions, occurring at the surfaces of electrodes immersed in baths of liquid electrolyte, give rise to gas bubble evolution, which in turn leads to the turbulent flow of the electrolyte. The operation of such cells and reactors is far from optimal, leading in most ...

Tailoring growth and opto-electronic properties for organic nanoscale semiconductor devices (TOPOS)

Start date: Aug 13, 2007, End date: Aug 12, 2010,

TOPOS addresses a deeper understanding of growth processes of organic films with the aim to develop nano-scale organic field-effect transistors (i.e. transistors with source-drain inter-electrodes distance varying from hundreds to a few nanometres). Fabrication of nano-scale organic field-effect transistors (OFET) is an attractive and challenging task involving both technological and fundamental i ...

Tuning and Upgrading the Food Safety education Curricula for BSc

Start date: Sep 16, 2010,

The project aims at increasing the understanding (transparency) and encouraging the harmonization and normalization of EU-US food safety regulations. This will be accomplished by educating the regulators, educators, and students by tuning the food safety curricula for Bachelor of Science and include international case studies in lectures and tutorials. The examples will be drawn from the project a ...
