"X-ray Crystallographic, Structural, and Biochemical Studies of Three Wax Ester Synthase Variants for Future Biotechnological Applications" (WSDGATFORBIODIESEL)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
"The recently discovered wax ester synthases (WS/DGATs) have demonstrated potential to catalyze production of biodiesel (microdiesel) by microbial systems. However, one inherent feature of WS/DGATs, their preference of long chain fatty alcohols as co-substrate, prevents efficient use of WS/DGATs for production of biodiesel. Future structure-guided protein engineering studies to increase the select ...

Understanding the roles of mammalian sialidases in glycolipid catabolism (Catabolic sialidases)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Sialidases are widely distributed in nature, from microorganisms to mammals. Mammalian sialidases differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, substrate specificity and pH optimum. To date, several mammalian sialidases have been cloned; a lysosomal form (Neu1), a cytosolic form (Neu2), a plasma membrane-associated form (Neu3) and a lysosomal/mitochondrial form (Neu4). Defining th ...

Imagining Europe from the outside. On the role of democracy and human rights perceptions in constructing migration aspirations and decision towards Europe (EUMAGINE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
"By means of a non-Eurocentric, theoretically and empirically sound cross-country and cross-region research design, EUMAGINE studies the impact of perceptions of human rights and democracy on international migration aspirations and decisions. Special attention goes to human rights (including women’s rights) and democracy perceptions on Europe, specific European countries, and the relative populari ...

DIstribution Of Multi-view Entertainment using content aware DElivery Systems (DIOMEDES)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
The delivery of 3D immersive entertainment to the home remains a highly challenging problem due to the large amount of data involved. As the number of 3D views provided to users increases, current video delivery systems (e.g. terrestrial broadcast) will struggle to meet the demanding requirements for many 2D/3D displays/TVs at homes. DIOMEDES will focus on new methods for the compression and deliv ...

BALTIC - TO - BALKAN NETWORK FOR LOGISTICS COMPETENCE (B2B LOCO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
"Based on successful FP5&6 experiences of POLLOCO and CENTRAL LOCO projects, the revised and expanded concept of the B2B LOCO project is that local market-oriented research units - collaborating in an international network aimed at experience exchange - can substantially increase the participation of SMEs in the FP projects by demonstrating and actively promoting the most business practice-oriente ...

"Transnationalisation, Migration and Transformation: Multi-Level Analysis of Migrant Transnationalism (TRANS-NET)" (TRANS-NET)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
"The objective of this project is to clarify and compare the complex process of transnationalism. During the past few years, transnationalism has attained ever greater importance and topicality due to the increase in transnational mobility of people. In order to attain a comprehensive and valid insight into the topic in question we adopt a multilevel approach. The research conducted in Estonia, Fi ...
