Chiral veterinary medicines in the environment (CVME)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Veterinary pharmaceuticals are potent environmental contaminants. Special attention has been paid to antibiotics because of their potential health risk. Research has been undertaken to understand their environmental fate and toxicity. However one very important phenomenon has been overlooked and it is that more than half of the drugs currently in use are chiral compounds. Chiral compounds can exis ...

A multi-technological approach for Dematerialising the production systems within a view of productive, reliable and eco-efficient machining processes (DEMAT)

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

The aim of this project is to dematerialise the machine tools and manufacturing systems that are designed and produced in Europe. Today, European machine builders, the vast majority of them SMEs, sell high performance and productive, but heavy, long-delivery-time and high-energy-consuming machines. The DEMAT project will provide these European companies with knowledge-based technologies and tools ...

Transport Phenomena at the Nanoscale (TPN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Mass transport through nanoscale pores (i.e. pores in the nanometre size range) has been studied for many years in disciplines as diverse as membrane science, soil permeability and cell physiology. However, in all these fields, though, the emphasis has always been placed on the macroscopic outcome, while the effects on fluid behaviour of intermolecular forces or physical and chemical interactions ...

"Genomic approaches to metabolite exploitation from Xenorhabdus, Photorhabdus" (GAMEXP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"The majority of compounds used to treat diseases come from a single group of organisms, the actinomycetes. This over-reliance on a single organism to produce the worlds drugs is a major problem for the development of compounds with alternative modes of action which can overcome and delay the onset of drug resistance. To address this problem we will form an international multi-disciplinary group o ...

Non-invasive imaging of brain function and disease by pulsed near infrared light (nEUROPt)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The proposal aims at the development and clinical validation of advanced non-invasive optical methodologies for in-vivo diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of major neurological diseases (stroke, epilepsy, ischemia), based on diffuse optical imaging by pulsed near infrared light. Established diagnostic imaging modalities (e.g. X-ray Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Positron Emissi ...

Materials for Robust Gallium Nitride (MORGaN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

The MORGaN project addresses the need for a new materials for electronic devices and sensors that operate in extreme conditions, especially high temperature, high electric field and highly corrosive environment. It will take advantage of the excellent physical properties of diamond and gallium nitride heterostructures. The association of the two materials will give rise to the best materials and d ...

Innovative contrast imaging by non-linear optics (NLO) for the observation of biological tissues in vivo and in real time, at cellular and molecular levels (CARS Explorer)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

The CARS EXPLORER seeks to demonstrate the concept of innovative light-based contrasting technologies for functional in situ imaging in life science and biomedical research. Our ultimate goal is to develop an endoscope based on non-linear optics (NLO) and laser pulse phase shaping. Non linear laser pulse interactions with living tissues provide unique possibilities, such as an absence of sample pr ...

Development and analysis of polymer based multi-functional bactericidal materials (EMBEK1)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

90% of bacteria are found attached to solid surfaces forming structures (bio-films), that are inaccessible to drugs and antibiotics. These bio-films represent a major problem in European society in both industry and health care. Currently, however, we understand little about how these bio-films form and, more importantly, how they can be prevented. This lack of understanding means that patients of ...

Just and durable peace by piece (JAD-PbP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

Peace is elusive and the quest for peace is perpetual. In Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East, peace and war exist in parallel and contemporary peace support operations simultaneously involve combat operations and building peace. Hence, the goal of establishing just and durable peace is a fundamental challenge to contemporary peacemakers and academics alike. In order to shed new theoretical and ...

Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research (DRIVER II)

Start date: Dec 1, 2007, End date: Nov 30, 2009,

DRIVER is a multi-phase effort whose vision and primary objective is to establish a cohesive, pan-European infrastructure of Digital Repositories, offering sophisticated functionality services to both researchers and the general public. The present proposal (`DRIVER Phase-II') aims to introduce key innovations compared to the original `DRIVER' project, while building on its results. The main novel ...
