Strategies for Organic and Low-input Integrated Breeding And Management (SOLIBAM)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

SOLIBAM will develop specific and novel breeding approaches integrated with management practices to improve the performance, quality, sustainability and stability of crops adapted to organic and low-input systems, in their diversity in Europe and taking into account small-scale farms in Africa. SOLIBAM will: 1. Identify traits specific for adaptation to low-input/organic conditions over a wide ran ...

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 ...

Quality and costs of primary care in Europe (QUALICOPC)

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

"The QUALICOPC study aims to comprehensively evaluate primary care systems in Europe against criteria of quality, equity and costs. The study will provide an answer to the question what strong primary care systems entail and which effects strong primary care systems have on the performance of overall health care systems. The study will collect data in 32 countries in Europe by means of two surveys ...

Transverse, Intrafascicular Multichannel Electrode system for induction of sensation and treatment of phantom limb pain in amputees (TIME)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

Amputation of a limb is a surgical intervention used as a last resort to remove irreparably damaged, diseased, or congenitally malformed limbs where retention of the limb is a threat to the well-being of the individual. The procedure traumatically alters the body image, but often leaves sensations that refer to the missing body part, the phantom limb. In 50-80% of cases, these sensations are painf ...

ANGuilliform robot with ELectric Sense (ANGELS)

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

The aim of the ANGELS project is to design and build a prototype of a reconfigurable Anguilliform swimming robot able to split into smaller agents (and vice-versa), each equipped with a bio-inspired "electric sense" used both for recognition of objects and communication between agents. This mode of active perception, present in some fish, is based on the polarisation of certain regions of their bo ...

EVolving morphologies for human-Robot sYmbiotic interactiON (EVRYON)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,

The goal of the EVRYON project is to develop a novel approach for the design of Wearable Robots (WRs) that can be used for such applications as rehabilitation, assistance, human augmentation and more. Such systems should aim at the optimal trade-off between performance, i.e. the level of assistance to be provided to the user, and some critical requirements, such as minimal weight and encumbrance, ...
