Cystic Fibrosis Microbiome-determined Antibiotic Therapy Trial in Exacerbations: Results Stratified (CFMATTERS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Antimicrobial resistance is arguably the most significant challenge facing the EU health care system. The unnecessary use of antibiotics is a key driver in the development of antibiotic resistance. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) represents a unique disease model to study bacterial resistance and to explore therapeutic strategies for same, as chronic lung infection overlaps with acute lung exacerbations caus ...

Long Range Ultrasonic Inspection of Aircraft Wiring (SAFEWIRE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Defects in the electric wiring in aircraft have led to serious accidents. Cases in point were the losses of TWA Flight 800 in July 1996 and Swissair Flight 111 September 1998, in both of which ~ 230 people died. Experts investigating almost three decades of international aviation incidents between 1972 and 2000 found more than 400 wire related incidents. The Ageing Transport Systems Rulemaking Adv ...

Advanced Thermosphere Modelling for Orbit Prediction (ATMOP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The ATMOP research project aims at building a new thermosphere model with the potential to spawn an operational version. It will enable precise air drag computation which is mandatory for improved survey and precise tracking of space objects in Low Earth Orbit and the initiation of appropriate measures to minimise risks to satellites (track loss, collisions) and ground assets (re-entry zone).The ...

Coordination of resources for conditional expression of mutated mouse alleles (CREATE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"This proposal describes CREATE, an internationally based Coordination Action directly addressing a large scale data gathering activity for systematic conditional mouse mutagenesis. Advances in the sophisticated manipulation of the mouse genome has established the mouse as the premier organism for developing models of human disease. Internationally coordinated initiatives have established for the ...

Development of an efficient technique for the reduction of waste in sheeting dough processing in the baking industry (REDUXDO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,

"Current dough-sheeting process produces up to 30% of waste (The mass of waste is of 20% order of the end-product produced). The average cost of waste is €100/tonne (including landfill or incineration tax, administration, transport and raw material cost). Such high cost has burdened the industry greatly, and SMEs are particularly vulnerable to further increase of landfill tax. In response to the c ...
