A remote controlled Sensorized ARTificial heart enabling patients empowerment and new therapy approaches (SensorART)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Heart failure (HF) is the most increasing cause of death in Western Countries. For that reason, together with the difficulty of having a sufficient number of donor organs, it is recognized that the device-based therapeutic approaches will assume an increasingly important role in treating the growing number of patients with advanced heart failure, not only as bridge to transplant, but also as des ...

Innovative Catalytic Technologies & Materials for Next Gas to Liquid Processes (NEXT-GTL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The project addresses from one site the most critical and costly step to produce liquid fuel from natural gas using conventional routes, e.g. the stage of syngas production, and from the other side explores alternative routes to convert natural gas to liquid transportable products. The general objective is to explore novel and innovative (precompetitive) routes for transformation of natural gas t ...

Natural speech comprehension: Comprehension of speech in noise (SPIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The SpiN project stands at the frontier between experimental linguistics and cognitive neuroscience research. It aims at achieving a critical break-through in the domain of speech-in-noise comprehension by setting up a dedicated interdisciplinary research team. The comprehension of speech in noise is a complex task even for normal hearing people and it is the primary and principal problem experien ...

From Mathematical Logic To Applications (MALOA)

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

"Mathematical logic is a rapidly-developing subject with sophisticated techniques and many applications in algebra, geometry, number theory, analysis, and computer science. Even though the branches of logic share vital concepts and techniques, in recent years increased specialism has meant that most researchers are trained in just one branch of logic, and there is a need in Europe for researchers ...

Proteomics Standards International Molecular Exchange - Systematic Capture of Published Molecular Interaction Data (PSIMEx)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

The aim of the PSIMEx proposal is to systematically make published molecular interaction data computationally accessible. We plan to further develop the existing standard for molecular interactions developed by the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative, and to promote its implementation in the entire chain from experiment planning via data formatting and analysis to data representation in journal p ...

Nanoporous Metal-Organic Frameworks for production (NanoMOF)

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

The discovery of porous hybrid materials constructed from inorganic nodes and organic multifunctional linkers has established a new area of inorganic-organic hybrids (Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs) with extraordinary performance as compared to traditional porous solids such as zeolites and activated carbon. “NanoMOF” will focus beyond discovery and integrate MOFs into products with industrial imp ...

City multi-Role Optimized Vehicle (CITY MOVE)

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

"The delivery of freight in urban areas is based on general purpose commercial vehicles, not dedicated to a mission in a very specific scenario like urban areas. This is particularly true for medium vehicles (7,5-12 tons) that are however widely used in towns. CITY MOVE aims to develop a new concept for urban delivery vehicles, a real breakthrough from the actual vehicle platforms, using the lates ...

Biochemically Equivalent Substitutive Technology for Stem Cells (BEST-Stem cells)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Current technology to control embryonic and adult stem cell behaviour is dependent on conventional in vitro culture systems and crude factors such as serum and purified proteins, often sourced from vertebrate animal tissue. These factors contribute to variations in cell properties and differentiation potential which impact on the efficacy of cell culture. More worryingly these factors are potentia ...

pHotonics ELectronics functional Integration on CMOS (HELIOS)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Photonics on CMOS is a candidate technology for applications where functional integration is needed for improving system performance while reducing size and cost.Functional demonstration of basic building blocks such as a µlaser, a detector, coupling, and link has been realized in previous research projects. As a next step the HELIOS project proposes to integrate photonics components with integrat ...

Wavelength Division Multiplexed Photonic Layer on CMOS (WADIMOS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

WADIMOS proposes to develop a generic technology for the realization of complex electro-photonic integrated ICs using standard CMOS processing technologies.These ICs will contain a photonic interconnect layer incorporating microsource arrays and ultracompact WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) functionality based on silicon nanophotonic wire circuits, driven directly from by the CMOS electronic ...

A road map for European ageing research (WhyWeAge)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

The rapid increase of life expectancy in Europe is essentially a positive outcome from improved health care and socioeconomic progress. However age-related deteriorations of health greatly impinge upon the health care and social security systems. This fosters an increasing necessity of keeping as long as possible the elderly in relatively healthy conditions. Unravelling the fundamental mechanisms ...
