NMR for Structural Biology (Bio-NMR)

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

In the past two decades spectacular insight into basic principles of life has been obtained from paradigmatic high-resolution structural investigations providing a rational basis for biological experiments. NMR is an indispensable enabling technology for determining such structures and their interactions in solution, the immobilized state and living cells. The power of NMR to link structural, dyna ...

The general objectives of the OCMOL project, focussed on the development of an alternative chemical route based on oxidative coupling of methane followed by oligomerization to liquids, are twofold: 1. To develop a small-scale process: process intensification via cutting-edge micro reactor technologies will enable to skip the expensive scaling up stage to provide a proof of concept of the OCMOL liq ...

Word Wide NMR (WW-NMR)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

and institutions specialised in all aspects of NMR spectroscopy in Europe with newly developed laboratories in five other countries. It builds on EU-funded infrastructures and will enable the creation of strategic and sustainable links with nine Partners from countries outside Europe. In return Third Country Partners will gain access to highly sophisticated NMR equipment. NMR spectroscopy is a bro ...

"Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key technology for research in the modern Life Sciences, with an increasing impact on human health. This technology is unique in new areas of molecular systems biology providing detailed insight into protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions. NMR Research Infrastructures (RIs) are of primary importance here; they offer the resources necessa ...

Although short-lived chronometers have yielded a precise chronology of the Early Earth differentiation, there is insufficient data available on the chemical fractionation related to these processes to model the Early Earth’s differentiation. 142Nd isotope data suggest that a reservoir enriched in rare earth elements (REE) has existed since 4.53 Ga, but has not been sampled since its formation. A k ...

Urban Freight Energy Efficiency Pilot (FREILOT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

Transportation of goods is a key enabler for European economy to maintain its competitiveness. However, the same transportation brings other, less positive effects, such as CO2 emissions, contributing to the global gas house effect. Therefore, reduction of fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and emissions of other pollutants is one of the biggest challenges for the road transport today.The specific en ...

Science Teacher Education Advanced Methods (S-TEAM)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

"Helping teachers raise the quality of science teaching and its educational environment has the potential to increase student engagement, attainment, scientific literacy and science career choices. S-TEAM will achieve this by connecting existing science education research and teacher knowledge to teacher education. This task requires the power of coordinated action across a wide range of instituti ...

A new role for CD44 in carcinogenesis (CD44 carcinogenesis)

Start date: Apr 10, 2009, End date: Apr 9, 2012,

CD44 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein highly polymorphic expressed in most tissues. The single gene can give rise to many different transcripts, named CD44 variants. CD44 represents the principal receptor for the main matrix glycosaminoglucan component, the hyaluronic acid (Ponta et al., 2003). CD44 is a multifunctional protein involved in lymphocyte homing and activation, cell migration or ...

"HERMES project will provide development and analysis of new mobility schemes and associated organisational patterns at the interface and interconnection between long distance transport networks and local/regional transport network. Although these are conceptually simple operations, requiring only some real-time telecommunication, there are organizational and contractual difficulties in its realis ...

"By concentrating on hybrid, not strictly normative social situations, we consider how people experiment with novel forms of citizenship that modify the outlines of formal citizenship. Such forms of citizenship imply practical activities connected to existing set-ups or milieus, and what is at stake is the continuous invention of the democratic principle itself, i.e. the « right to rights ». The t ...

"Wear induced by debris formation and ejection is becoming a critical problem in many industrial applications. Fretting wear associated to small oscillating sliding displacement is considered as a plague in many contacted systems submitted to vibrations loadings (aeronautics, energy, biotechnology, nanotechnologies etc …). Hence, there is a critical interest to formalize wear degradations and wear ...

The key concept of this project is inquiry-based teaching of secondary school science. Research and development done in Europe in the area of inquiry-based science teaching (IBST) is abundant, however, the knowledge is spread and indistinct, and thereby not utilised to its full potential by teachers and educators throughout Europe. The project aims to gather, exchange, develop and disseminate idea ...
