Environmental Management and Restoration of Mediterranean Salt Works and Coastal Lagoons (MC-SALT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Background In the coastal lagoons of Italy, France and Bulgaria, the following main threats have been identified: a progressive decline in the capacity of water circulation; loss of nesting habitat and disturbance from seagulls (Larus michahellis); loss of attractiveness and historical value; coastal habitat degradation and destruction resulting from the ...

Innovative fabrication routes and materials for METal and anode supported PROton conducting fuel CELLs (METPROCELL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

PCFC is one of the most promising technologies to reach the requirements related to cogeneration application, especially for small power systems (1-5 kWel). The investigation in the concept of advanced thin-film ceramic fuel cell technology at operating intermediate temperature between 400 and 700 °C aims at improving the characteristics (thermal cycling, heat transfer, current collection,.) as w ...

New tools and approaches to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in the EU and Asia (PoRRSCon)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the major cause of reproductive and respiratory problems in pigs worldwide. Controlling this disease is a top priority in pig producing countries. Due to mutations at a high frequency, new variants of the virus appear that are no longer effectively controlled by the commercial vaccines. In addition, highly virulent variants emerge, lea ...

Next generation methods to preserve farm animal biodiversity by optimizing present and future breeding options (NextGen)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

NEXTGEN proposes the bold step of using whole genome data to develop and optimise conservation genetic management of livestock diversity for the foreseeable future. The rationale for choosing whole genome data is to ‘future-proof’ DNA-based analysis in livestock conservation against upcoming changes in technology and analysis. Thus, in the context of whole genome data availability, our global obje ...

The Network of Animal Disease Infectiology Research Facilities (NADIR)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Europe possesses several experiment facilities holding the level 3 of bio safety, which is required to study the large majority of zoonoses, emerging diseases and a number of other animal infectious diseases. Most of them are nevertheless loosely connected, leading to redundancy. NAIF has as its strategic aim to realise the potential European leadership in animal infectiology by bringing together ...

Automatic Oil-Spill Recognition and Geopositioning integrated in a Marine Monitoring Network (ARGOMARINE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The concept of the ARGOMARINE proposal is the monitoring of the marine traffic due to carriers and commercial ships through environmental-sensitive sea areas. This monitoring will be realized by means of sophisticated electronic, geopositioning, and telematic tools connected through a high speed network along with data transmission through suitable data links. Data from different sources will be ...

Restoration of ecological balance for conserving the habitats of species of Community interest (Equilibri ecologici)

Start date: Jul 1, 2002, End date: Dec 31, 2005,

Background The Valle Santa and Valle Campotto area is an important wetland situated in the intensively cultivated Emilia-Romagna plain. Although a man-made wetland, artificially created in the early 1900s, it became the habitat for a wide variety of animal and plant species associated with the constant presence of water. The site, located in the Po Delta ...
