A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

Environmentally Friendly Antifouling Technology to Optimise the Energy Efficiency of Ships (FOUL-X-SPEL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Adhesion of Microorganisms on hulls, Algae to the coated surface, is the precursor of later fixation of macro-organisms, which causes serious hydrodynamic problems.Research and innovative developments of environmental friend surface protection is the main goal of the present project. The basic idea concerns the modification of usual hulls by providing a new antifouling coating, by fixing covalentl ...

The role of local mRNA translation in synapse formation (Presynaptogenesis)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The objective of the proposed research is to identify the signaling mechanisms that lead to presynaptogenesis, the mechanism by which a functional presynaptic terminal is formed. Postsynaptic mechanisms such as LTF (long-term facilitation) in invertebrate neurons, and LTP (long-term potentiation) and LTD (long-term depression) in mammalian neurons have been well characterized and shown to be depen ...

Risk-Based Expert System for Through–Life Ship Structural Inspection and Maintenance and New-Build Ship Structural Design (RISPECT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"The primary objective of the RISPECT project is to use ship structural inspection results (coating condition, corrosion, cracks and deformation) along with the calculated expected results to guide future inspections required to achieve a minimum structural reliability.This “probabilistic inspection planning” is not new but this project takes the method a stage further to use data from large numbe ...

Climate Change and Marine Ecosystem Research Results (CLAMER)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

"Although there is no certainty regarding the precise nature and rate of future climate change, even the most moderate scenarios predict a continuing change of the marine environment, with associated major environmental and social impacts. To prepare society for the necessary mitigation and adaptation measures, the awareness of citizens to research results, both certainties and uncertainties, in t ...
