Ultrasonic Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique for Inspection of Railway Crossings (Frogs) (SAFTINSPECT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The European rail infrastructure employs high manganese, high strength steel components at safety critical locations such as crossings. Restricted access to these assets limits the range of NDT techniques available for in-service inspection to those capable of inspection from the top surface. Conventional ultrasonic inspection of high manganese steel is ineffective due to the inherent coarse grain ...

Development of Advanced Shearography System for On-Site Inspection of Wind Turbine Blades (DashWin)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,

Wind energy is a fast growing (>20% pa) industry worldwide and European companies have two-thirds of the share, according to European Wind Energy Association. Due to the increase in wind farms, new techniques are required to provide maintenance and inspection of the wind installations with reduced cost and enhanced reliability. It is estimated that the business opportunity for wind turbine blade i ...

Correlating protection against malaria with serum profiles against Plasmodium falciparum antigen repertoires (FIGHTMAL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

"People living in malaria endemic areas develop, with time, a form of immunity to infection and clinical disease mediated by antibodies directed against P. falciparum antigens. Currently there are no assays or clinical parameters that predict whether an exposed person is protected against malaria. This represents a major obstacle for vaccine development. Here research institutions and industrial p ...

Development and validation of a microarray based automated diagnostic system for the detection of influenza virus types and subtypes at point-of-care (Fluarray)

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

Influenza is an extremely contagious infection that is caused by distinct virus types and subtypes. Early diagnosis is crucial for disease treatment and control as it reduces the inappropriate use of antibiotics and provides the indication for antiviral therapy. Rapid diagnosis is also a key component of surveillance activity. This requires the ability to detect and accurately diagnose infection a ...
