Role of lysophosphatidic acid in the pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (ROLPASCI)

Start date: Sep 15, 2010, End date: Sep 14, 2014,

"Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes permanent functional deficits due to damage to neurons and supporting cells. The primary mechanical injury triggers inflammatory changes that develops within hours and continues for several days after the injury, which then results in further exacerbation of tissue loss and functional impairments. Reducing the inflammatory response after SCI can therefore ...

Innovative and practical management approaches to reduce nitrogen excretion by ruminants (REDNEX)

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

Dairying is an important sector of EU agriculture, but intensification has been accompanied by an increase in N surplus. This has a negative environmental impact on groundwater (pollution with nitrates), surface water (eutrophication) and on the atmosphere (de-nitrification and ammonia volatilisation). The EU seeks to stimulate measures that improve management of nutrients, waste and water as a st ...

Process Oriented Electrical Control Units for Electrical Vehicles Developed on a Multi-system Real-time Embedded Platform (POLLUX)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"The objective of POLLUX is to develop a distributed real time embedded systems platform for next generation electric vehicles, by using a component and programming-based design methodology. Reference designs and embedded systems architectures for high efficiency innovative mechatronics systems will be addressed with regard to requirements on composability, networking, security, robustness, diagno ...

Identification and validation of novel drug targets in Gram-negative bacteria by global search: a trans-system approach (AntiPathoGN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

Multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections are increasing at an alarming pace in both developing and developed countries and in both community and nosocomial settings. The few antimicrobial agents that have been launched during the last decade (e.g. linezolid, daptomycin) have a good activity against Gram-positive bacteria. However, multi-drug-resistant bacteria are often found among the Gram-negat ...

Infrafrontier The European infrastructure for phenotyping and archiving of model mammalian genomes (INFRAFRONTIER)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Medically related Life Sciences use the mouse as a model system to understand the molecular basis of health and disease in humans (>95% similarity of genes in humans and mice). An essential task for Biomedical Sciences in the 21st century will be the functional analysis of mouse models for every gene in the mammalian genome. The major bottlenecks identified by the user community will be proper ...

Memory loss in Alzheimer disease: underlying mechanisms and therapeutic targets (MEMOSAD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"MEMOSAD aims at defining the molecular mechanisms of Abeta- and Tau-induced synaptotoxicity and at developing disease-modifying therapeutics for the prevention of memory loss in Alzheimer disease (AD). Insoluble aggregates of the two proteins provide the pathological hallmarks of this incurable brain disorder. Early stage AD is characterized by a remarkably pure impairment of declarative memory a ...

Synergies in Multi-scale Inter-Linkages of Eco-social systems (SMILE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"The consortium participants have developed tools for analysing the different dimensions of sustainability in a FP6 project DECOIN (Development and Comparison of Sustainability Indicators). The objective of the proposed SMILE project is to apply and further develop these tools to analyse the trade-offs and synergies between different aspects of sustainable development. A number of case studies wi ...

Ethical Frameworks for Telecare Technologies For Older People at Home (EFORTT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

This research is concerned with the normative implications of the introduction of remote care technologies for frail older people, for different stakeholders, and for gender divisions in particular. The project addresses an ethical and democratic deficit in this area which has arisen due to a proliferation in EU research and development of advanced care technologies yet one which has not been acco ...

Artificial Language Evolution on Autonomous Robots (ALEAR)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

This tightly integrated focused project aims at fundamental breakthroughs in understanding and synthesising the mechanisms achieving cognition and language. It engages in carefully controlled experiments in which autonomous humanoid robots self-organise rich conceptual frameworks and communication systems with similar features as those found in human languages. Language and cognition are seen as c ...
