Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...

Novel multifunctional cyclodextrin-based nanocarriers for drug encapsulation and delivery as a strategy to overcome current therapeutic drawbacks (CYCLON)

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

"There is a high demand for the development of new drug delivery strategies to combat major diseases in our society, particularly cancer. Current treatments are based on high efficacy drugs, however their non-selective uptake by both normal and tumor cells as well as the development of multidrug resistance (MDR), constitute major hurdles. Resistance is also associated with the use of nucleoside an ...
