Innovative and sustainable strategies to mitigate the impact of global change on helminth infections in ruminants (GLOWORM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"Infections with parasitic worms (nematodes and trematodes) represent a significant economic and welfare burden to the European ruminant livestock industry. The increasing prevalence of anthelmintic resistance means that current control programmes are costly and unsustainable in the long term. Recent changes in the epidemiology, seasonality and geographic distribution of helminth infections have b ...

"IMPROVING PLC PROGRAMMING THROUGH A NEW GRAPHICAL, OBJECT-ORIENTED AND BRAND- INDEPENDENT PROGRAMMING FRAMEWORK" (PLC-PROG)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"Most Modern automation installations are driven by Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Nowadays, the low level programming languages that have been used for decades, such as Ladder Diagrams (LD), are still being used to develop the new software. Besides, there are ‘hidden’ penalties: PLC software is brand dependent. The solution to this problem has been the adoption of new paradigms that allow ...

Development of a novel autonomous vehicle significantly reducing costs related to subsea sensors deployment and recovery (AutoDrop)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

There is a distinct need for an improved method for accurate and inexpensive deployment and retrieval of seabed sensors and equipment. The AutoDrop will be hydro dynamically designed in order to glide through the water experiencing a minimum of drag. The rudders will maintain stability and change the direction if desired. It is important that the time used by the AutoDrop to travel from the surfac ...

"Biosensor based instrumentations to be used in vineyards and wineries for fast and sensitive detection of Botrytis cinerea ,grey rot, in grapes" (SAFEGRAPE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2011,

"Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that affects wine grapes and is responsible for the grey rot infection, which can strongly alter the quality of grapes and derived wine, causing: browning, destruction of flavour compounds, decrease of foaming properties, fermentation stopping. Grey rot is the largest infection of grapes in vineyards all over the world and is a major problem both for wine growers and ...

Development of 25% more energy efficient street lights with integrated reflector, elimination of protection glass, optimized arc tube and improved luminaire design (EcoStreetLight)

Start date: Sep 15, 2008, End date: Mar 14, 2011,

The SMEs involved in the lighting industry face a tough competitively situation due to the dominant position of large enterprises in the business. The EU has for long been the world’s largest producer of lighting equipment, but now China has surpasses it in terms of volume. There is a 66 % trade tariff on light bulbs imported into EU, but EU has announced (July 2007) that they have made plans to l ...

Efficient recycling and disposal of sewage sludge with innovative thermo-catalytic low temperature conversion technique (LOTECOTEC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2006, End date: Apr 30, 2010,

Background The long term disposal of sewage sludge is a major environmental problem. Conventional sludge treatment methods (e.g. incineration) are not ideal solutions to the complex problem of disposal. It is therefore important to introduce more comprehensive alternatives for sludge handling and disposal when planning sewage management strategies. In res ...
