Soot Processes and Radiation in Aeronautical inNOvative combustors (SOPRANO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2020,
For decades, most of the aviation research activities have been focused on the reduction of noise and NOx and CO2 emissions. However, emissions from aircraft gas turbine engines of non-volatile PM, consisting primarily of soot particles, are of international concern today. Despite the lack of knowledge toward soot formation processes and characterization in terms of mass and size, engine manufactu ...

Novel Cell Migration Assay Based on Microtissue Technology and Tissue-Specific Matrices (MATRIXASSAY)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,
Cell migration assays are commonly used to study wound healing, cancer cell invasion, and tissue development. Problems associated with the gap closure assays typically employed are that: (i) the stopper or scratch used to make the migration zone damages the extracellular matrix (ECM), (ii) the migration zone size is limited by the size of the stopper, and (iii) the scratched migration zone shapes ...

Adult Education as a Means for Active Participatory Citizenship (EduMAP)
Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
The existing research and policy reports show that adult education policies and practices are designed and carried out in ways and using means which are not always appropriate to vulnerable minority groups. In the EduMAP Project the diversity of societal participation and the wide range of cultural contexts and communicative practices among learners will be acknowledged. In particular, the educati ...

A Unified Approach to Evaluating Cellular Immunotherapy in Solid Organ Transplantation (THE ONE STUDY)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Preventing immunological rejection of transplanted organs without the need for long-term use of pharmacological immunosuppression is a primary objective in transplantation medicine. Reducing the need for immunosuppression would dramatically improve the outcome for transplant recipients and reduce health costs for society. The means to achieve this goal has not been realised with pharmacological or ...

Developing predictors of the health benefits of exercise for individuals (META-PREDICT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2016,
Physical activity is a powerful lifestyle factor that on average reduces risk for development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, we have demonstrated that following supervised endurance exercise training, 20% of subjects show no change in fitness and 30% demonstrate no improvement in insulin sensitivity or worse-still an adverse response. Our concept is that by using molecular p ...
