Gas and Dust from the Stars to the Laboratory: Exploring the NanoCosmos (NANOCOSMOS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2020,

Evolved stars are the factories of interstellar dust. This dust is injected into the interstellar medium and plays a key role in the evolution of astronomical objects from galaxies to the embryos of planets. However, the processes involved in dust formation and evolution are still a mystery. The increased angular resolution of new generation telescopes, will provide for the first time a detailed v ...

Early Prevention of Diabetes Complications in people with Hyperglycaemia in Europe (E-PREDICE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"Background: A significant proportion of pre-diabetics, show macro and micro vascular complications associated with hyperglycaemia. Although many trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions in diabetes prevention, no trial has evaluated the extent to which mid- and long-term complications can be prevented by early interventions on hyperglycaemia.Aims: To ass ...

Microcellular nanocomposite for substitution of Balsa wood and PVC core material (NanCore)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The project objective is to design a novel and cost-effective microcellular nanocomposite foam, with mechanical properties comparable to or better than Balsa wood and PVC foam, allowing for a substitution of these as core materials for lightweight composite sandwich structures. The material will be applicable for widespread industrial use, e.g. within Wind Power, rail, shipbuilding and automotive ...
