Study of Emission Line Galaxies with Integral Field Spectroscopy (SELGIFS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) is a relatively new technique that allows to obtain spectra of extended sources as a function of position. This technique has flourished in large aperture, high resolution telescopes, and many integral field spectrographs, equipped with Integral Field Units (IFU), have been developed in the past few years or are planned for the future. The demand for these instru ...

Industrial implementation of processes to render RCS safer in manufacturing processes (SILICOAT)

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

"In 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) in the form of quartz or crystobalite from occupational sources as carcinogenic for humans (category 1). Crystalline silica is an essential raw material for the production of virtually all the goods of everyday life. As a consequence, there can be significant amounts of RCS in the enviro ...
