Development of a Low Cost Ceramic Buoyancy Sphere (CeraSphere)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Oil and gas exploration is being carried out in ever deeper water, as more readily-exploitable reserves become depleted. And whilst previously uneconomical deep-water oilfields are now becoming financially viable, accessing them remains difficult due to the technical challenges associated with extreme operating conditions.When working in water at depths of up to 5000m the water pressure is above ...

Electronic Health Record systems for Clinical Research (EHR4CR)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Current medical needs, the growth of targeted therapies and personalized medicines, and escalating R&D costs result in formidable cost pressures on healthcare systems and the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical research is also growing in complexity, labour intensity and cost. There is a growing realization that the development and integration of Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) for medical ...

Living Photonics: Monitoring light propagation through cells (LiPhos)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

LIPHOS is focused on the development of completely innovative biophotonic diagnosis tools, which are for the first time implemented using cells as constituent material. Here, and unlike existing systems, light remains confined in a waveguide whose core is uniquely composed by cells, giving rise to the "Living photonics" concept. In this context, cells play a two-fold role: i) they form the biomate ...

Ice2sea - estimating the future contribution of continental ice to sea-level rise (ice2sea)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

The melting of continental ice (glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets) is a substantial source of current sea-level rise, and one that is accelerating more rapidly than was predicted even a few years ago. Indeed, the most recent report from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlighted that the uncertainty in projections of future sea-level rise is dominated by uncertainty concerning continen ...
