DNA-TRAP – Delivery of Nucleic Acid-Based Therapeutics for the TReatment of Antibiotic-Resistant Pathogens (DNA-TRAP)

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

Antimicrobial agents, such as antibiotics, have dramatically reduced the number of deaths from infectious diseases over the last 70 years. However, through overuse and misuse of these agents, many micro-organisms have developed antimicrobial resistance. Oligonucleotide therapeutics have the potential to become the new class of antibacterials capable of treating a broad range of infections. By acti ...

USEFUL SUPERCONVERGENCE EXTRACTION FOR FILTERING OF UNDERRESOLVED SOLUTIONS (USEFUL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

The objectives of this proposal include: to investigate how various superconvergent techniques modify the approximation coefficients, and further how this modification changes the spectrum analysis; to reduce the dissipation resulted from the filtering by addressing SIAC filtering and wave number resolution; to apply the filtering techniques for nonlinear equations and LES simulations. In order ...

Increasing safety of offshore wind turbines operation: Study of the violent wave loads (SAFEMILLS)

Start date: Apr 24, 2014, End date: Apr 23, 2016,

The use of offshore wind turbines in coastal zones is the most promising method for clean energy production from the environment. Theyamplify the advantages of land based turbines due to the greater wind potential in the unprotected coasts and the vast areas of coastlines,whilst, in addition, avoid the disadvantages associated with deep water installations at the open sea (e.g. wind turbines mount ...

Land Use Change, Environment and Society: a integrated framework for economic assessment (LUCES)

Start date: Jan 10, 2013, End date: Jan 9, 2016,

This highly interdisciplinary research project examines one of the most fundamental problems in natural resource and environmental economics: the optimal use of land. Land management raises major trade-offs between public and private interests. Agriculture provides the paramount illustration of these trade-offs. Ownership belongs to the private sector, but has significant implications for the soci ...

Tool-supported policy-development for regional adaptation (TOPDAD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Adaptation in the face of climate change is currently a major challenge, not only in the EU, but all around the world. Climate change has two distinct characters: the slower trends in climatic variables such as sea water temperatur, and the extreme weather phenomena, such as heavy precipitation. The fundamental driver for regional adaptation are regional climate scenarios. Crucial for local societ ...
