Early Prevention of Diabetes Complications in people with Hyperglycaemia in Europe (E-PREDICE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"Background: A significant proportion of pre-diabetics, show macro and micro vascular complications associated with hyperglycaemia. Although many trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions in diabetes prevention, no trial has evaluated the extent to which mid- and long-term complications can be prevented by early interventions on hyperglycaemia.Aims: To ass ...

Energy recovery from landfill's biogas by the use of microturbines and biological removal of hydrogen sulphide and siloxanes (MICROPHILOX)
Start date: Oct 3, 2005, End date: Mar 31, 2009,
Background
Decomposing organic waste in landfill sites generates large quantities of biogas containing methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), greenhouse gases that contribute significantly to the global problem of climate change. However, due to its methane contents, biogas is also a potential source of renewable energy, and can be used for generating po ...

CLOSING THE NITROGEN CYCLE FROM URBAN LANDFILL LEACHATE BY BIOLOGICAL NITROGEN REMOVAL OVER NITRITE AND THERMAL TREATMENT (CLONIC)
Start date: Aug 1, 2003, End date: May 31, 2007,
Background
Wastewater generated in an urban landfill (i.e. 'leachate') can present high contaminant levels. This is mainly due to the high organic matter (with a very low biodegradable fraction), nitrogen and salt content. One of the most complex problems is the removal of nitrogen. The difficulties of eliminating nitrogen, which is almost entirely compos ...
