Diagnosis of skin cancer using optics (DIAGNOPTICS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

DIAGNOPTICS deals with novel tools for the diagnosis and prognosis of skin cancer. Biophotonics-based tools for in-vivo and ex-vivo analysis of lesions will be combined in a pilot diagnostic workflow, which pursues using them as consecutive filters discarding benign lesions, and confirming the malignancy of others in order to guide them to surgery only when required. The in-vivo techniques will be ...

Ecopaint bio-based formulations (ECOBIOFOR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The EU solvents market totalled 5.0 Million Tons in 2010. The bio-based solvent consumption was only 0.63 Million Tons (12.6%), mainly devoted to cleaning operations, however the consumption of biosolvents is estimated to grow annually 4.8% up to 1.1 million by 2020 (EU Innova-Biochem 2010).The Coatings/Inks/Adhesives Industry represents 58% of the global solvent consumption, since they use solven ...

Improved Lifetime of Automotive Application Fuel Cells with ultra low Pt-loading (IMPACT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"The main objective of the planned project IMPACT is to increase the life-time of fuel cells with membrane-electrode assemblies containing ultra low Pt-loading (< 0.2 mg cm-2) for automotive applications. The economic requirements to reduce Pt loading leads to the challenge to maintain durability and performance, an aspect which has not been addressed sufficiently in public projects and studies. A ...

Identification of a fluid for two phase capillary pumped cooling systems (DIPHASICFLUID)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

"[Analysis] The problem of finding a fluid for two phase capillary pumped cooling systems is a multiobjective one, considering the numerous properties to match. Besides we can expect to find a fluid within the tens of thousands of existing molecules, which have not been tested for this application, or a fluid that could be easily synthesised from an existing fluid. The critical point is finding th ...

Developing advanced Biorefinery schemes for integration into existing oil production/transesterification plants (SUSTOIL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

"An ambitious and achievable vision for 2030 is that up to 25% of the EU’s transport fuel needs could be meet by clean and CO2-efficient biofuel. To achieve this, it will be necessary to promote the transition towards “second generation biofuels” (e.g. lignocellulosic ethanol, syngas gas based fuels, pyrolysis oil based biofuels) but also support the implementation of currently available biofuels ...
