A Unified Approach to Evaluating Cellular Immunotherapy in Solid Organ Transplantation (THE ONE STUDY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Preventing immunological rejection of transplanted organs without the need for long-term use of pharmacological immunosuppression is a primary objective in transplantation medicine. Reducing the need for immunosuppression would dramatically improve the outcome for transplant recipients and reduce health costs for society. The means to achieve this goal has not been realised with pharmacological or ...

Green networked Data Centres as Energy Prosumers in smart city environments (GEYSER)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Despite the ongoing efforts on energy efficiency improvements,, the lower energy consumption per data centre does not compensate the cumulative increasing energy demand, due to the combined action of increasing load density in the computer room and rising digitization of human activities. Hence data centres are consuming increasing amount of energy, with a negative impact on the environment and on ...

Internet of Energy for Electric Mobility (IoE)

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

The objective of Internet of Energy (IoE) is to develop hardware, software and middleware for seamless, secure connectivity and interoperability achieved by connecting the Internet with the energy grids. The application of the IoE will be the infrastructure for the electric mobility. The underlying architecture is of distributed Embedded Systems (ESs), combining power electronics, integrated circu ...

Simulation Based Solutions for Industrial Manufacture of Large Infusion Composite Parts (INFUCOMP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"Today, advanced composites use either layers of plies impregnated with resin (pre-pregs) to form a laminate, or Liquid Composites Moulding (e.g. RTM) of dry textiles. Prepreg composites give superior mechanical properties due to toughened resins and high fibre content, but suffer from high material costs, limited shapeability, complex, expensive and time consuming manufacturing, and limited mater ...

Development of novel environmentally added-value surfactants and esters by biotechnological processes from fats and oils waste streams (Bio-SURFEST)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Currently, different origin waste oils have been used mostly as animal feed, raw material for soap makers, and feed stock for fatty acid production. The existent patents and commercial processes to make fatty acids from waste oils always refers to hydrolysis and acidification steps using strong acids such as sulphuric or hydrochloridic acids, producing a mixture of fatty acids, inorganic salts, wa ...

Marine Algae as Biomass for Biofuels (MABFUEL)

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

"Currently most research into efficient algal-oil production is being carried out by the private sector, but if predictions from small scale production experiments are realised then using algae to produce biodiesel may be the only viable method by which to produce enough bio-fuel to replace current world petrol/diesel usage. Micro-algae in particular have much faster growth-rates than terrestrial ...

Cross-Organisational Assessment and Development of Intellectual Capital (CADIC)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"In a global knowledge-based economy high performing clusters of different organisations are seen as the core of innovation, regional development and competitiveness for their members. Therefore there is a growing need for SMEs in Europe to engage and collaborate in networks and clusters. The European research project CADIC will help a large number of SME to set up and strengthen own clusters and ...

Industrial Crops producing added value Oils for Novel chemicals (ICON)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Replacing fossil oil with renewable resources is perhaps the most urgent need and the most challenging task that human society faces today. Cracking fossil hydrocarbons and building the desired chemicals with advanced organic chemistry usually requires many times more energy than is contained in the final product. Thus, using plant material in the chemical industry does not only replace the fossil ...

Industrialization of Manufacturing Technologies for Composite Profiles for Aerospace Applications (IMac-Pro)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Main aim of the project is the development of a complete, integrated process chain for the cost effective serial production of various aerospace CFRP stiffener profiles. The production is foreseen in the two steps: Preform manufacturing and infiltration / curing. The project will focus on complex profile geometries with variable cross sections, single or multiple curvature and integrated load int ...

Contaminant mixtures and human reproductive health - novel strategies for health impact and risk assessment of endocrine disrupters (CONTAMED)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"Disruption of hormonal signalling in fetal life can irreversibly affect human development and reproductive health at a later age. Of considerable concern in Europe is a decline in male semen quality and a high prevalence of congenital malformations and hormone-dependent cancers. Although it appears plausible that environmental chemicals with endocrine activity may be involved in the causation of ...

Project to demonstrate an innovative automated battery breaking system to deal with end of life battery management for lead acid traction (motive power) and sealed lead acid standby power batteries. (Batman)

Start date: Oct 1, 2003, End date: Oct 1, 2005,

Background This project addresses an important environmental concern for human health and safety. Despite the precautions taken by battery breaking organisations to protect workers with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), lead, cadmium and acid exposure and dust inhalation does occur, including that caused by lead sludge being transferred across sites on ...
