Development and Epilepsy - Strategies for Innovative Research to improve diagnosis, prevention and treatment in children with difficult to treat Epilepsy (DESIRE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

DESIRE will focus on epileptogenic developmental disorders EDD, i.e. early onset epilepsies whose origin is closely related to developmental brain processes. A major cause of EDD are malformations of cortical development (MCD), either macroscopic or subtle. EDD are often manifested as epileptic encephalopathies (EE), i.e. conditions in which epileptic activity itself may contribute to severe cogni ...

End-user driven DEmo for cbrNe (EDEN)

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

The accidental or deliberate release of CBRNE materials are low probability events that can have a significant impact on citizens and society. Whenever and wherever they occur, they usually require a gradual and multi-facetted response as they tend to provoke severe and unexpected physical, psychological, societal, economical and political effects that cross EU-borders. Successful CBRNE resilience ...

Reengineering and Enabling Performance And poweR of Applications (REPARA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

In recent years, traditional processors have not been able to translate the advances of silicon fabrication technology into corresponding performance gains. This has been due to weaknesses inherent in the current sequential programming model, which has not changed significantly since the late 1940's, as well as due to physical constraints, such as practical limits on the energy consumption and the ...

Advanced Materials and Electric Swing Adsorption Process for CO2 Capture (MATESA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the technological solutions to decarbonize the energy market while providing secure energy supply. So far, the cost of CCS is dominated by the CO2 capture, reason why new capture techniques should be developed.Adsorption techniques have already been evaluated for CO2 capture. So far, the main drawbacks of this technique are the energetic demand to regene ...

Mobility and Transport Digital Wallet (MobiWallet)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

Fare management schemes in transport are increasingly becoming more digitized in most large cities. However, most suffer from a siloed approach, as each transport mode is owned, operated or maintained by a range of different actors. The fact that these actors often come from public, private or even mixed backgrounds adds a layer of complexity to the issue of interoperable fare management. However, ...

Wireless distributed intelligent system for irrigation optimisation and early turf disease prevention and treatment on Golf Courses (WATERGOLF)

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

Recreational water use is usually a very small but growing percentage of total water use and is mostly tied to reservoirs. If a reservoir is kept fuller than it would otherwise be for recreation, then the water retained could be categorized as recreational usage. Recreational usage is usually non-consumptive. The report from the European Environment Agency (EEA), reveals that Europe has so far con ...

DECiphering the role of long non COding Rna in cancer (DECODER)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

"Increasing evidence indicates that non coding RNAs play a major role in the regulation of gene expression. A significant fraction of the non-coding transcriptome is represented by large intervening non coding RNA (lincRNAs), which seem to be involved with the epigenetic control of gene expression through binding with several members of the Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs). Recently, dysregula ...
