Compliance and effectiveness in HF and CHD closed-loop management (HeartCycle)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

Each year Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) causes over 1.9 million deaths in the EU, causing direct health costs of €105 billion. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), half of all CVD deaths, is the single most cause of death in Europe. Heart Failure (HF) – a CHD being the most frequent cause of hospitalization for people over 65 – has 10 million patients in the EU. Current treatment of HF entails recommendat ...

Tailoring of Tribological Interfaces for Clean and Energy-Efficient Diesel and Gasoline Power Trains (2020 Interface)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

Durability and friction control in internal combustion engines is currently delivered from a complex package of lubricant additives in a fully formulated engine oil. These oil additives, through tribochemical interaction with the surface, produce nanostructured composite, self-healing and smart tribofilms at the surface. 2020 Interface involves the design of the complete system; functionalised Dia ...

Enabling Desktop Grids for e-Science (EDGeS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2010,

Grid systems are currently being used and adopted by a growing number of user groups and diverse application domains. However, there still exist many scientific communities whose applications require much more computing resources than existing Grids like EGEE can provide. The main objective of this project is to support these new communities:a) by providing the necessary extensions for existing Gr ...
