Cloud based Simulation platform for Manufacturing and Engineering (CloudSME)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Simulation can significantly improve the competitive position of manufacturing and engineering companies by reducing their costs and resulting in more efficient development, production, procurement, logistics or financial processes. However, the take-up of simulation software by SMEs has until now been low due to high barriers of entry that include hardware prices, licensing costs and technical ex ...

Sustainable farm Management Aimed at Reducing Threats to SOILs under climate change (SMARTSOIL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Farming practices that lead to declining returns and inputs of carbon (C) to soils pose a threat to soil functions by reducing availability of organic matter for soil microbes and by affecting soil structure, and soil C stocks that are key to regulating greenhouse gas emissions. SmartSOIL focuses on arable and mixed farming systems in Europe and will develop an innovative approach using the soil C ...

Effects of Climate Change on Air Pollution Impacts and Response Strategies for European Ecosystems (ECLAIRE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

ÉCLAIRE investigates the ways in which climate change alters the threat of air pollution on European land ecosystems including soils. Based on field observations, experimental data and models, it establishes new flux, concentration and dose-response relationships, as a basis to inform future European policies.Starting with biosphere-atmosphere exchange measurements, ÉCLAIRE quantifies how global w ...

Magnetic Isolation and moleculaR Analysis of single CircuLating and disseminated tumor cElls on chip (MIRACLE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,

Cancer remains a prominent health concern afflicting modern societies. Continuous innovations and introduction of new technologies are essential to level or even reduce current healthcare spending. As the analysis of occult tumour cells (OTC) in blood or bone marrow is most promising in this respect, MIRACLE aims to develop a low-cost, fully automated, integrated lab-on-a-chip (LOC) system for the ...

Securing the European Electricity Supply Against Malicious and accidental thrEats (SESAME)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"Threats for the supply of electricity have changed dramatically throughout the last decade: additional to the natural and accidental ones, the new threat of malicious attacks needs to be considered. Such attacks might be jointly imparted so as to affect large portions of the European grid, make repair difficult and cause huge societal impact. The outstanding importance and the far more complex le ...

Structural integrity for lifetime management – non-RPV components (STYLE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The overall objective of the project is to assess, optimise and develop the use of advanced tools for the structural integrity assessment of reactor coolant pressure boundary components (RCPB) relevant to ageing and life time management and to integrate the knowledge created in the project into mainstream nuclear industry assessment codes. Realistic failure models for some of the key components w ...

Adaptive Tip dress Control for Automated Resistance Spot Welding (SmartDress)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

High volume automotive production (such as body-in-white construction) operations rely heavily on RSW (resistance spot welding), and suffer significant losses of output (and resulting revenue) as a consequence of frequent production line stoppages. These stoppages are predominantly caused by weld quality issues, which in turn arise from poor maintenance of consumable ‘tips’ on RSW guns.SmartDress ...

Surfacing System for Ship Recovery (SuSy)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The propagation of spillages is one of the biggest environmental problems after a ship disaster. Instead of cleaning the dirty areas the SUSY system will avoid the spillages by stabilizing vessels immediately after an accident. The main goal of the project is the development of well known submarine rescue technology into systems usable for merchant ships in emergency situations. The systems for su ...

Durham University Researchers' Night 2009 (RN2009UDURTNS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2009,

"The participants in this proposal are Durham University (UDUR) and Naked Science Ltd. (TNS). UDUR is a world-class university that is committed to the communication of knowledge and learning, encouraging and supporting engagement in dissemination of knowledge to a broader community. TNS currently produce a weekly science radio programme that is broadcast in the East of England, and made available ...
