Diagnostic Imaging Strategies for Patients with Stable Chest Pain and Intermediate Risk of Coronary Artery Disease: Comparative Effectiveness Research of Existing Technologies (DISCHARGE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in high-income countries. Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the reference standard for the diagnosis of CAD and allows immediate therapy. However, only 40% of patients undergoing ICA actually have obstructive CAD and ICA has relatively rare but considerable risks. Coronary computed tomography (CT) is the most accurate diagnostic test ...

Efficient ENergy for EU Cultural Heritage (3ENCULT)

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

"The project 3ENCULT bridges the gap between conservation of historic buildings and climate protection, which is not an antagonism at all: historic buildings will only survive if maintained as living space. Energy efficient retrofit is useful for structural protection as well as for comfort reasons - comfort for users and “comfort” for heritage collections.The joint task of conservation and energy ...

Transport needs for an ageing society (TRACY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Addressing the needs of older people in the development of future transportation concepts in Europe is an important issue. However, there are no systematic studies available, which provide a complete picture of what has already been done to adress the mobility-related needs of the elderly. Such a systematic study could be used to create an Action Plan for future steps in addressing the needs of a ...

Flexible Patterning of Complex Micro Structures using Adaptive Embossing Technology (FlexPAET)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Compared to conventional light sources, the light producing capacity of a light emitting diode (LED) is virtually unlimited at about a 1/10 of the energy consumption rate and a fraction of the production cost. Due to its point source characteristics an LED requires a means to collimate and shed the emitted light onto larger areas. Diffractive optics (DO) elements consisting of highly complex micro ...
