Cancer Vaccine development for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HepaVac)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

"Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and accounts for about 6% of all new cancer cases worldwide. Given the lack of available effective treatments, the overall prognosis for HCC patients is poor, with a dismal 5-year survival of 5-6%. The main goal of this proposal is to develop a therapeutic cancer vaccine aiming at improving clinical outcome in early-stage HCC ...

Developing High Resolution Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating of fossil teeth: contribution to the chronology of early hominid occupations in the Mediterranean area (HR_ESR)

Start date: Oct 2, 2014, End date: Oct 1, 2016,

"Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is the only chronometric method that can be applied to date Early Pleistocene fossil teeth from early hominid occupations in the Mediterranean area. Recent investigations focused on these old samples have highlighted the limitations of the standard procedures, as well as the complexity of the post depositional alteration processes in dental tissues at micro-scale.To ...

High durability and fire performance WPC for ventilated façades (HIFIVENT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Buildings are called upon to be integrated in the urban spaces, which needs aesthetic requirements of the external envelop. Moreover, the façades of buildings must be long-lasting and ensure well-being inside the building (thermal isolation, walls breathing). Nowadays major activity in the construction sector in Europe is retrofitting, representing the 42% of existing buildings and making up about ...

The Oldowan-Acheulian Transition and the Emergence of the Acheulian Industry, Field and laboratory Investigations at the Gona Plio-Pleistocene Archaeological Sites, Ethiopia (Gona Project)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The origin of the Acheulian stone technology has long fascinated prehistorians, as the handaxe seems to signify the first tool made with predetermined shape. This proposal seeks funding to investigate the mode, tempo and causes of the Oldowan-Acheulian technology transition, 2.0-1.7 million years ago (Ma), at Gona, Afar, Ethiopia. This time period is immensely important to the study of human origi ...

"Studies of Early Hominid Adaptation and Dispersal into North Africa: Archaeological Investigations at the Plio-Pleistocene Site of Ain Hanech, Algeria" (PALEONORTHAFRICA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"The applicant requests the Marie Curie Integration Grant to undertake multidisciplinary investigations at the site of Ain Hanech, Algeria. Ain Hanech preserves the oldest archaeological occurrences in North Africa (ca. 1.8 Ma). Our multidisciplinary team comprised of international scientists will conduct fieldwork at Ain Hanech and laboratory analyses. Ain Hanech offers a unique opportunity to ad ...

Archives of Early Human Occupation in Western Europe: OSL Chronologies beyond the Middle Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula (ARCHOSL)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"A number of important archaeological sites within the Iberian Peninsula hold the key to answering fundamental questions about human evolution and migration out of Africa into Europe. However, the existence of chronologies that are either too ambiguous, imprecise, poorly described, or only based on non-numeric dating methods, prevents the development of well sustained hypotheses on the age of such ...
