The influence of the cell membrane asymmetry and curvature on the functioning of membrane proteins and the transport of therapeutic compounds (assymcurv)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Real cell membranes are essentially asymmetric and non-planar. Outer leaflets of the plasma membranes contain neutral lipids and glycolipids, while the inner leaflets host practically all anionic lipids and phosphoinositides. In addition to asymmetric composition the membranes are usually curved due to spontaneous curvature of the membrane lipids and an influence of membrane proteins and cytoskele ...

Implementation of activities described in the Roadmap to Fusion during Horizon 2020 through a Joint programme of the members of the EUROfusion consortium (EUROfusion)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

A Roadmap to the realization of fusion energy was adopted by the EFDA system at the end of 2012. The roadmap aims at achieving all the necessary know-how to start the construction of a demonstration power plant (DEMO) by 2030, in order to reach the goal of fusion electricity in the grid by 2050. The roadmap has been articulated in eight different Missions. The present proposal has the goal of impl ...

Graded Membranes for Energy Efficient New Generation Carbon Capture Process (GREEN-CC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Major sources for human made CO2 emissions comprise the energy and the industrial sector including cement production. One of the most appropriate concepts to capture CO2 from such point sources is the oxyfuel combustion. The main energy demand for this method results from the O2 generation, which is usually done by air liquefaction. This energy demand can substantially be lowered using thermally i ...

Nano-carbon based components and materials for high frequency electronics (CACOMEL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"A strong expansion of the frequency range towards terahertz and infrared is the major trend in the modern electronics and optoelectronics. It relies on the incorporation of modern nanotechnology that has already given the birth to nanoelectronics, a rapidly developing discipline focused on both the dramatic increase of the component integration level and decrease in a power consumption. Performan ...

Basic Research for Innovative Fuels Design for GEN IV systems (F-BRIDGE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

Up to now fuel development and qualification has been a long and expensive process essentially based on an empirical approach. European experts currently have an adequate knowledge of conventional fuel manufacturing and its behaviour under operating conditions encountered during 50 years of industrial application and R&D activities. For innovative fuel systems, however, the empirical approach has ...
