Redox Materials-based Structured Reactors/Heat Exchangers for Thermo-Chemical Heat Storage Systems in Concentrated Solar Power Plants (RESTRUCTURE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
ThermoChemical Storage (TCS) involves the exploitation of the heat effects of reversible chemical reactions for the “storage” of solar heat. Among gas-solid reactions proposed for such an approach the utilization of a pair of redox reactions involving multivalent solid oxides has several inherent advantages that make it attractive for large-scale deployment.The new concept introduced in the curren ...

Mire Ecosystem Transition Area Flux (METAflux)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
Peatlands or mires contain about one third of this global terrestrial carbon pool which are located on between 3 and 6% of the global land area. In the boreal and sub-arctic areas permafrost covers about 18,782 x 103 km2 and peatlands or mires cover about 19% of this area. Observed mean annual air temperatures in these regions have increased by 2-3oC since the 1950s. Thawing permafrost leads to ch ...

miRNA and tooth development (miRNAtooth)
Start date: Sep 15, 2008, End date: Sep 14, 2010,
Teeth form as appendages of embryonic ectoderm and their development is regulated by similar mechanisms to other ectodermal organs like hairs and glands. More than 300 genes are currently known to be involved in tooth development. However, the mechanisms that regulate gene expression at specific times and locations are only partially understood. The most interesting open questions concern the mech ...
