The sustainable freight railway: Designing the freight vehicle – track system for higher delivered tonnage with improved availability at reduced cost (SUSTRAIL)

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

"A sustainable and efficient freight transport in Europe plays a vital role in having a successful and competitive economy. Freight transport is expected to grow by some 50 % (in tonne-kilometres) by 2020. However rail has, in many areas, been displaced from a dominant position as road transport services have grown and developed in capability and levels of sophistication that have not been matche ...

Exploiting User-Generated Geospatial Content Streams (GEOSTREAM)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

With the proliferation of the Internet as the primary medium for data publishing and information exchange, we have seen an explosion in the amount of online content available on the Web. In addition to professionally-produced material being offered free on the Internet, the public has also been allowed and encouraged to make its content available online to everyone. The increasing popularity of op ...

Innovative and sustainable strategies to mitigate the impact of global change on helminth infections in ruminants (GLOWORM)

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

"Infections with parasitic worms (nematodes and trematodes) represent a significant economic and welfare burden to the European ruminant livestock industry. The increasing prevalence of anthelmintic resistance means that current control programmes are costly and unsustainable in the long term. Recent changes in the epidemiology, seasonality and geographic distribution of helminth infections have b ...

COMPOSITE PHENOTYPIC TRIGGERS FOR BONE AND CARTILAGE REPAIR (OPHIS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis (OP) are disabling, degenerative bone diseases with significant economic and societal impacts. The incidence of these conditions increases with age but in recent years the number of younger patients has increased, due mainly to factors related to modern life-styles. The efficiency of current pharmacologic and implant-based solutions are limited and often poorly ...

TALOS Mobile Guides (TMGUIDE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

The publishing business is currently undergoing a fundamental change in that printed content is progressively replaced by electronic content. While in the case of books this translates to a “simple” switch to ebooks, for mobile guides and geo-enabled content, smartphones brought along an even bigger change as multimedia content can be shown in a context-sensitive way by using for example location. ...

Patient specific modelling and simulation of focused ultrasound in moving organs (FUSIMO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

In recent years, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and Focused Ultrasound (FUS) have become frequent tools for non-invasive benign tumour therapy. Applications in the treatment of fibroadenoma of uterus has become commercial and passed FDA clearance in 2004 and sonication of bone metastasis has obtained a CE mark. Other tumours are under preclinical (prostate, kidney) and clinical (breast, brain a ...

Distribution Line Carrier: Verification, Integration and Test of PLC Technologies and IP Communication for Utilities (DLC+VIT4IP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Today, there are largely no communications infrastructure deployments in European medium and low voltage power distribution networks. Powerline communications has a large potential to enable new and intelligent applications to and from the last branch of the distribution grid. However, current powerline communication technologies cannot offer the reliability, quality of service and interoperabilit ...

Angiogenesis-inducing Bioactive and Bioresponsive Scaffolds in Tissue Enginering (AngioScaff)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Angiogenesis underlies almost all biological processes of morphogenesis, including those in tissue repair and regeneration. Physiological angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interplay between cells and their environment: the extracellular matrix (ECM) provides signaling via numerous ECM adhesion molecules and growth factors bound to ECM polysaccharide components; and cells locally degrade and ...

Task aware location based services for mobile environments (TALOS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2010,

"Despite the growth in the number of mobile users, the wide-spread adoption of ubiquitous wireless networks, and the ever increasing capabilities of mobile handsets, the market of mobile services is still dominated by simple infotainment services. This is especially apparent in the area of Location Based Systems, which with few exceptions (e.g. navigation), have not fulfilled its predicted commerc ...

Simultaneous Evaporation and Pressurized Thermal Oxidation (Technical Oxygen) of Liquids Containing Organic and Inorganic Compounds (THERMOX)

Start date: Jul 1, 2001, End date: Dec 31, 2003,

Background Incineration is a way to environmentally treat heavily polluted waste waters, but plants working on this principle need to be very large to be both competitive on the market and to keep to legal thresholds, especially concerning chlorinated dioxins and furans. Furthermore, the costs are high due to the need for extra transportation, as such pla ...
