Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

At the doorstep of Europe, the NW African plate boundary system is paradoxically the least understood segment of the Earth global plate system. This largely reflects the intrinsic complexity of the present-day plate boundary, characterized by a diffuse geometry and several lithospheric domains accommodating the relative motion between Eurasia and Africa. Despite long stand collaborations, research ...

Training network for developing innovative (bio)artificial devices for treatment of kidney and liver disease (BIOART)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Renal and liver diseases are global public health problems, with the incidences of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and end-stage liver disease (ESLD) rising annually. Due to the lack of donor kidneys, most of ESRD patients depend on dialysis treatment using either an artificial kidney or the peritoneal membrane. Both modes are inefficient in removing uremic waste molecules and inadequately remove e ...

TESTING GALACTIC WINDS AGAINST PREDICTIONS (GalacticWinds)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"Theoretical models of galaxy formation predict that feedback from supernovae plays a crucial role in regulating star formation in low-mass galaxies. Efficient feedback, with large outflow rates, is needed in these models to account for the low-efficiency of galaxy formation in low-mass halos. Current constraints on mass outflow rates in this low mass regime are very sparse and the best estimates ...
