Site Effects Assessment for seismic Regulations by developing and validating physically based methods (SEAR)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Dec 14, 2013,

"It is recognized that local site conditions may affect the seismic ground motion, in terms of amplitude level, spectral content and time duration, thus increasing the seismic hazard level. Improving the way these site effects are accounted for is therefore a major concern, balanced however by economical constraints, which emphasize the need for inexpensive though reliable methods. In that context ...

Doxorubicin-induced impairment of metabolic and stress signaling: a culprit of cardiotoxic action of the drug? (ANTHRAPLUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"Anthracyclines, in particular doxorubicin, are the most effective anticancer drugs. However, their serious side effect is a cardiotoxicity, which is not entirely understood. We propose a novel hypothesis, namely that anthracycline-induced cardiac damage is related to impaired cellular responses to energy depletion, and possibly also to other forms of stress (oxidative, genotoxic), inducing a “cat ...
