NAPES - Next Generation Analytical Platforms for Environmental Sensing (NAPES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,

GOALS:The current state-of-the-art for autonomous environmental instruments monitoring the chemical and biological status of our water is based on flow systems that employ conventional approaches to sample/liquid handling, which makes them prohibitively expensive (often >€20K per unit) in terms of up-scaling deployments. This project will investigate ways to deliver revolutionary advances in liqui ...

Development of a Low Cost Ceramic Buoyancy Sphere (CeraSphere)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Oil and gas exploration is being carried out in ever deeper water, as more readily-exploitable reserves become depleted. And whilst previously uneconomical deep-water oilfields are now becoming financially viable, accessing them remains difficult due to the technical challenges associated with extreme operating conditions.When working in water at depths of up to 5000m the water pressure is above ...

The Open Pharmacological Concepts Triple Store (OPEN PHACTS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Drug discovery is data-hungry and all major pharmaceutical companies maintain extensive in-house instances of public data alongside internal. Analysis and hypothesis generation for drug-discovery projects requires assembly, overlay and comparison of data from many sources, requiring shared identifiers and common semantics. Expression profiles need to be overlaid with gene or pathway identifiers an ...

Reliable and Efficient Combustion of Oxygen/Coal/Recycled Flue Gas Mixtures (RELCOM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Most coal-fired utility boilers are fired with pulverised coal and the use of this technology for power generation far outweighs that of alternatives. The consortium have identified key issues that need to be addressed to pave the way for full-scale deployment of oxy-coal firing. As most previous work has been undertaken at pilot-scale so that, in addition to medium scale demonstration activities, ...

Resource Efficient Maritime Capacity (REMCAP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The global maritime market is on a strong growth trajectory, and this project aims to harness that growth to create economic and employment benefits for Europe. On the one hand, growth is driven by commercial megatrends such as demand for marine/offshore renewable energy, fish products and emerging potential for ‘blue biotech’ products; on the other hand, there is high demand for efficient use an ...

DC/DC COnverter-based Diagnostics for PEM systems (D-CODE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,

"The D-CODE project aims at developing and implementing on-line electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to have direct and meaningful information on the system status. EIS has been proven to be an effective diagnostic tool for laboratory tests. It will be implemented on-board thanks to a new DC/DC converter conceived by the D-CODE’s partners. The new hardware will be developed together with d ...

Quality of maternal and prenatal care: bridging the know-do gap (QUALMAT)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

Besides a dramatic lack of financial and human resources in developing countries, health care is additionally endangered by quality deficiencies caused by low staff motivation. This lack of motivation leads to an insufficient translation of knowledge into optimal utilization of resources. The “know-do” gap represents a challenge that must be addressed to strengthen health services performance towa ...

Ambulatory Magneto-Enhancement of Transdermal High Yield Silver Therapy (AMETHYST)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

There are approximately 2 million people who suffer from chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers in Europe at the present time. These wounds typically take between 12 and 24 weeks to heal, but 30% take over two years. This represents a cost to the European healthcare services of at least €8 billion a year in treatment. Two thirds of cases are released immediately for treatment in the community, ...

The development of a deammonification treatment to remove nitrogen from recirculated water used in aquaculture (DeammRecirc)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The aquaculture industry has been very slow to adopt denitrification methods. Present practice is to convert the toxic metabolic waste product ammonia via nitrite to nitrate in a nitrifying bio-filter. This microbial process demands oxygen and reduces the pH, requiring expensive buffering treatment. The accumulating nitrate is generally flushed from the farm into recipient waters without pollutant ...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SEDIMENT ENTRAINMENT (CFD-DEM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"Sediment transport is important for predicting the impact of human intervention on river and coastal systems. The numerical modelling of individual particles on the bed of a turbulent open channel is particularly difficult because it not only involves the correct modelling of the turbulence but also the movement of the particles themselves. This project is aimed at investigating the influence of ...
