Long-term effects of early nutrition on later health (EARLYNUTRITION)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Nutrition during early development has an important impact on later health, particularly through greater obesity risk, as demonstrated by FP6 EARNEST. EarlyNutrition explores the current key hypotheses on likely causes and pathways to prevention of early life origins of obesity (specifically adiposity) and associated disorders. We bring extraordinary expertise and study populations of 470,000 indi ...

A Gateway to European Kidney Research Resources - KidneyConnect (KidneyConnect)
Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
Diabetes, Cardiovascular and Chronic kidney (DCC) -diseases are relentlessly increasing globally, causing enormous human suffering, premature deaths and unsustainable costs. Leading European research has indisputably pointed that the kidney filtration barrier and its epithelial cell, the podocyte, is a common denominator for the DCC-diseases. However, European excellence and expertise have remaine ...

Investigation of Si wafer damage in manufacturing processes (SIDAM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
Wafer handling in semiconductor manufacturing introduces microcracks at the wafer edge. During thermal processing, some of these grow into slip bands; on rapid thermal processing some of these grow into cracks, shattering the wafer and disrupting manufacture. Dense slip bands also lead to yield loss by locally increasing diffusion rates. Breakage losses alone were of the order of €2.5M p.a. for a ...
