The impact of alternative care integration strategies on Health Care Networks’ performance in different Latin American health systems (Equity-LA II)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

Health services fragmentation is one of the main obstacles to effective health care in Latin-America, particularly for chronic diseases. This research builds upon results from Equity-LA (FP7-B-223123) and focuses on one of the most promoted policies to respond to fragmentation in LA, the development of Integrated Health Care Networks (IHN). The general objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of ...

Reclamation of Gallium, Indium and Rare-Earth Elements from Photovoltaics, Solid-State Lighting and Electronics Waste (RECLAIM)

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

Prospective global supply and demand for gallium, indium and other key metals show an increasing discrepancy, amongst others due to the explosive growth of green technologies such as photovoltaics (PV) and solid-state lighting (SSL). While their primary production is highly controlled by a few countries, recycling systems to reclaim these materials from discarded products are not yet in place. Thi ...

Standardised metrology of Nano-sTrUctuRed CoAtings with Low surface energy (NATURAL)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

There is a growing range of applications that would benefit from the use of nanostructured coatings. The functional performance of a surface is intimately linked with its structure. The ability to characterise nanostructured coatings is therefore an essential part of their future uptake. However, the ability to examine and characterise at the nano-scale is currently limited to sophisticated, time- ...

Advanced wood plastic composite material for the production of bath furniture resistant to moisture and free of coatings (LIMOWOOD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

LIMOWOOD solution will develop a Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) made of a recycled thermoplastic polymer and natural reinforcing particles derived from wood. The resulting material will represent a number of advantages:•Weight and density comparable to current wood-based pannels (700 kg/m3). This will provide reduction in the cost of transport of furniture items and use of cheaper fasteners and fitt ...
