Improving maritime safety and pollution response through technology transfer, training & innovation (ARCOPOLPLUS)

Start date: Dec 31, 2011, End date: Dec 30, 2013,

Built on the knowledge and outcomes developed by ARCOPOL project (2009-2011), ARCOPOLplus aims to further reinforce maritime safety in the Atlantic area by improving the regional preparedness and response to oil and HNS. ARCOPOLplus’ activities have been conceived focussing on technology transfer, training and innovation. On the one hand, ARCOPOL outputs will be upgraded and implemented through p ...

ROLE OF LOCUS COERULEUS IN NEUROPATHIC PAIN (LOCUS COERULEUS-PAIN)

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

"The locus coeruleus, the main source of noradrenaline in the central nervous system, is a crucial step in both the descending and ascending pain modulatory systems which are compromised in neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic pathological condition arising from damage in the nervous system and that does not respond successfully to conventional analgesics. In fact, the first-line treatm ...

Nitrogen removal in coastal sediments: molecular microbial ecology of nitrate reducing bacteria (NITRICOS)

Start date: Mar 16, 2009, End date: Jul 16, 2012,

"Eutrophication of estuarine and coastal ecosystems due to increased anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen is an increasing problem. Benthic microbial processes can in part alleviate this by removing a significant part of the load. Nitrate in marine sediments can be removed by two main functional groups of bacteria. Bacterial denitrifiers reduce nitrate or nitrite to gases subsequently lost from the aq ...

Advanced Electron Microscopy techniques applied to catalytic materials for energy generation with very low environmental impact (AdMiEnv)

Start date: Mar 16, 2009, End date: Mar 15, 2012,

The use of novel electron microscopy related techniques is necessary to understand the structure of modern catalysts and, as a consequence, to improve their performance. The installation and development in the University of Cadiz of two novel techniques, Electron Tomography and quasi in situ Microscopy will help to achieve this goal. Electron Tomography is able to unveil the three dimensional str ...

Morphological Impacts and COastal Risks induced by Extreme storm events (MICORE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

The project is specifically targeted to contribute to the development of a probabilistic mapping of the morphological impact of marine storms and to the production of early warning and information systems to support long-term disaster reduction. A review of historical storms that had a significant impact on a representative number of sensitive European sites will be undertaken. The nine sites are ...

Understanding Seagrass Effects on Biodiversity Levels (USEABLE)

Start date: Feb 27, 2008, End date: Feb 26, 2011,

"Seagrasses are well known ecosystem engineers in that they can strongly affect the hydrodynamic environment within a meadow. Benthos diversity within a seagrass meadow will predominantly consist of filter feeders and deposit feeders. For their food supply, filter feeders will benefit from strong hydrodynamics that cause a high refreshment rate of the water column, whereas deposit feeders will ben ...
