Targeting challenges of active ageing: innovative integrated strategies for the healing of age-related hearing loss (TARGEAR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"Worldwide, 278 million people are estimated to have moderate to profound hearing loss. Age-related hearing loss, also known as presbyacusis, affects approximately half of the population over 60 years old, making it the second most common cause of disability in older people. There is no restorative treatment for deafness but functional replacement by means of prosthesis. Therefore, prevention and ...

New feedstock and innovative transformation process for a more sustainable development and production of lignocellulosic ethanol (BABETHANOL)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

"Today, USA and Brazil have massively invested in ethanol mono-production, taking advantage of their respective native crops, intensive culture practices and large availability of land. These renewable biofuel production models cannot be applied to most of the industrial and emerging countries. For these countries with limited land use, one of the best solutions to comply with their objectives of ...

Polymeric composite materials with enhanced thermal conductivity properties for heat exchangers applications (THERMALCOND)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The main goal of the project is to develop a new family of low cost polyolefin based components (sheets, pipes and fittings) to be used in the manufacture of flat-plate solar thermal collectors. These components are expected to be a viable alternative to current collector’s metallic components. However, due the current limitations of thermoplastics materials (low thermal conductivity and low resi ...

Converting Laminates into Energy and Aluminium for the benefit of Nature (CLEAN)

Start date: May 1, 2006, End date: Apr 30, 2010,

Background In Europe, more than a million tonnes of drink cartons are thrown away after use every year. More and more of these drink cartons are now being recovered in various types of collection schemes (29% in 2004). The 300 000 tonnes recovered are processed in the paper industry, where the paper fibres (210 000 tons) are fully recycled into new paper ...
