Resorbable Ceramic Biocomposites for Orthopaedic and Maxillofacial Applications (RESTORATION)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Ceramic composite materials have for many years been considered to show great promise in the repair of musculoskeletal defects. The materials can mimic the structure of bone, and devices made from the materials can be structured to closely match the mechanical requirements of implant sites. In addition, wide ranges of bioactivity are possible, from inert to fully resorbable.Bioceramics have most ...

Animal feed certification instrument and procedure to guarantee the quality of meat and dairy products through automatic, simple and rapid DNA barcode method based on tubulin-based polymorphism (TBP) (FEED-CODE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The EU integrated approach to food safety needs effective control systems to assure safety and quality standards all along the food chain, including animal feed. This is not always straightforward, since several actors are involved in the chain, in some cases not from EU. Following regulation EC 767/2009, which has defined new “rules on the placing on the market and use of animal feed, including r ...

A functional marker of commercial AMF isolates for sustainable agriculture (AGRO-AMF-AOX)

Start date: Dec 3, 2010, End date: Dec 2, 2014,

The proposal aims to strengthen a recent relationship between a SME from Germany and an established Marie Curie Chair from Portugal for lasting research collaboration. The company (INOQ) produces arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) for application in sustainable agriculture. Commercial AMF application can significantly improve the stability of plant production. The importance of the symbiosis betwee ...

Development of improved methods for detection, control and eradication of pine wood nematode in support of EU Plant Health policy (REPHRAME)

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

Europe’s pine forests are a valuable economic, social and environmental resource under threat from the introduction of the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Although not a pest in its native North America, PWN has devastated forests in Asia. Since the arrival of PWN in Portugal, the native maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, has proved to be extremely susceptible, with PWN being s ...

Biocontrol and Bioremediation agents and their role in Agriculture and Forest health (BioReGent)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

BioReGent brings together six centres and universities specialised in the area of improvement of forest and agro ecosystems by means of bioremediation and biological control agents. This network covers a unique set of competencies, expertises, infrastructures and training possibilities. The overall objective of this proposal is the establishment of a small network of specialised scientists from bo ...

Radiography of the past. Integrated non-destructive approaches to understand and valorise complex archaeological sites (RADIO-PAST)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"During the last 20 years a set of methods of surface survey and non-invasive sub-surface prospections have been developed to investigate complex buried archaeological sites, aiming to limit destructive intervention, such as excavation. This set includes different kinds of remote sensing, ground based geophysics, systematic recording of surface materials, GIS-based analysis and visualisation tools ...
