Low Temperature and Lean Volume Cleaning System (LOWTEV)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2011,

"Under the current issues surrounding climate change, conserving water resources is becoming an increasing priority. As areas become stressed due to water exploitation or environmental pressures, the amount of water resources available for use have been decreasing (World Meteorological Organisation, 1999) and Europe has not been able to avoid these pressures. It is crucial to protect and improve w ...

Development of an efficient technique for the reduction of waste in sheeting dough processing in the baking industry (REDUXDO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,

"Current dough-sheeting process produces up to 30% of waste (The mass of waste is of 20% order of the end-product produced). The average cost of waste is €100/tonne (including landfill or incineration tax, administration, transport and raw material cost). Such high cost has burdened the industry greatly, and SMEs are particularly vulnerable to further increase of landfill tax. In response to the c ...

Structural studies on hepatitis C virus envelope glycoprotein E2 (HCV E2 PROTEIN)

Start date: Dec 1, 2007, End date: Nov 30, 2009,

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important human pathogen that causes chronic liver diseases in millions of infected people worldwide. HCV is an enveloped single-stranded RNA virus that infects predominantly hepatic cells. The process of viral entry into the host cells is an obvious target for virus inhibition, however the exact mechanism of this event is not known. It is established that the two HCV ...
