Computational Exploration of Directed Evolution rules for tuning enzymatic activities (DIREVENZYME)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

"Biocatalysis is based on the application of natural catalysts for new purposes, for which the enzymes were not designed. Although the first examples of biocatalysis were reported more than a century ago, biocatalysis was revolutionized after the discovery of an in vitro version of Darwinian evolution called Directed Evolution (DE). Despite the recent advances in the field, major challenges remain ...

European Network for Durable Reinforcement and Rehabilitation Solutions (endure)

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

The growth of advanced composites in construction in recent years has been spectacular, doubling in size in the last 10 years. This expansion has been largely due to the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer reinforcement in structural applications and, although the current economic climate has seen a slowdown of the general construction market, the demand of composite products within the European const ...

Biological production of butanol from syngas (SYNTOBU)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

The global energy consumption has doubled over the last 30 years, sustained mainly by the use of fossil fuels. The potential depletion of these may leave our society at the edge of an energy crisis unless reliable alternative energy sources are developed. The current context has led to the investigation of alternatives, such as bio-fuels, a renewable energy source with carbon neutral contribution ...

ROTATING COWLS (LIGHT-COWLS)

Start date: Mar 25, 2013, End date: Nov 24, 2016,

The Project LIGHT-COWLS is aimed to find out a way to produce rotating nacelle components for aircraft engines by using composites materials with high Tg, production method can be RTM or ATL. In particular the design and manufacturing of rotating nacelle of the CROR is targeted. The materials to be used for this development will be high Tg resins and fibers as reinforcement. Thus the project will ...

Green fertilizer upcycling from manure: Technological, economic and environmental sustainability demonstration (ManureEcoMine)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

European pigs and cows jointly produce about 1.27 billion tonnes of manure per year, a largely unexploited resource of organic carbon and nutrients, and therefore an exquisite ‘mining’ opportunity. ManureEcoMine proposes an integrated approach to the treatment and reuse of animal husbandry waste in nitrate vulnerable and sensitive areas and beyond, by applying the eco-innovative principles of sust ...

Development of a composite sleeve for spatial separation of rotor and stator in an electric motor (COMPOSLEEVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,

The Project COMPOSLEEVE is aimed to find out a way to produce a stator sleeve for stator/rotor separation in electrical motor, which need to be cooled with aggressive fluids such as Skydrol, with high internal pressure and a temperature range that goes above 200ºC. For this application possible materials are composites with high Tg resins, such as BMI or Cyanate ester, reinforced with non conducti ...

Adaptive Cooperative Control in Urban (sub) Systems (ACCUS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Urban systems like traffic, energy, and outdoor lighting are managed by self-contained embedded systems – though the managed processes are deeply interconnected. New applications and collective optimization require integration of these systems which represents a truly “systems of systems” integration problem: these urban systems evolve independently, have their own purpose and internal policies wh ...

Bio-inspired Design of Catalysts for Selective Oxidations of C-H and C=C Bonds (BIDECASEOX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The selective functionalization of C-H and C=C bonds remains a formidable unsolved problem, owing to their inert nature. Novel alkane and alkene oxidation reactions exhibiting good and/or unprecedented selectivities will have a big impact on bulk and fine chemistry by opening novel methodologies that will allow removal of protection-deprotection sequences, thus streamlining synthetic strategies. T ...
