Solar system plasma Turbulence: Observations, inteRmittency and Multifractals (STORM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

In this project we investigate solar system plasma turbulence from in-situ data gathered by automated platforms launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA. We investigate how the features of turbulence and intermittency vary with the solar activity and estimate the corresponding impact. We use electromagnetic field and plasma data provided by a core of three ESA spacecraft, Ulysses, Ve ...

Pathways common to brain development and ageing: defining strategies for preventive therapy and diagnostics (DEVELAGE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"The increasing number of elderly people will have a major impact on the prevalence of age-related diseases, which will pose major challenges to keep health systems in Europe sustainable. Current knowledge is insufficient to identify the transition of normal brain ageing into Alzheimer`s Disease (AD)-like brain damage. Elucidation of the genes and pathways contributing to the earliest stages of AD ...

Spectrum Aggregation and Multi-User MIMO: Real-world Impact (SAMURAI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

Next generation cellular wireless systems will require data rates which are one order of magnitude higher than the ones provided by current systems.One way to improve the rates is to increase the bandwidth. Unfortunately, spectrum is a fragmented resource and large bands of frequencies are unavailable to one single operator. Therefore, Spectrum Aggregation (SA) represents an opportunity to overcom ...

Whey protein-coated plastic films to replace expensive polymers and increase recyclability (WHEYLAYER)

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

"In the food industry, the oxidation of fats, oils, and other food components produces off-flavours, off-colours and nutrient loss. Protection against oxygen is a vital requirement of food packaging. Common synthetic polyolefin films such as PE and PP are excellent moisture barriers, but must be coated or laminated with synthetic polymers including EVOH and PVDC copolymers to provide an oxygen bar ...
