Development of mouse mutant resources for functional analyses of human diseases - Enhancing the translation of research into innovation (INFRAFRONTIER-I3)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The mouse shows great similarities in development, physiology and biochemistry to humans, which makes it a key model for research into human disease. The major challenges for mouse functional genomics in the 21st century are to:• Develop a series of mutant alleles for every gene in the mouse genome• Determine the phenotypic consequences of each mutation• Identify mouse models for the complete dise ...

Creating an Agenda for Research ON Transportation sEcuity (CARONTE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Easy, efficient, safe and secure transportation is a core factor for European growth, collaboration and employment and therefor an item in the Europe 2020 strategy. Land transportation has two main challenges concerning security: avoiding interrupts of transport itself to assure the flow of freight and passengers to guarantee supply of the population and avoiding that transportation modes themselv ...

Component Performance-driven Solutions for Long-Term Efficiency Increase in Ultra Supercritical Power Plants - MACPLUS (MACPLUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The intelligent and cost effective use of CCS technologies requires new strategies to increase the net efficiency of coal fired power plants. Among them, the most promising are summarised as below:- Increase working steam temperature and pressure in new USC power plants (350-370 bar, 700/720°C minimum), and hence increase the severity of fireside operating conditions,- Promote clean coal technolog ...

Migration between Africa and Europe (MAFE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"African migration has become a major concern for European policy makers. New policy measures are under development, but they rely on a poor understanding of the underlying causes and consequences of African migration. The MAFE project aims to overcome this lack of understanding, in order to improve the quality of migration policies. This involves three interrelated objectives. Objective 1. Creat ...

"Transnationalisation, Migration and Transformation: Multi-Level Analysis of Migrant Transnationalism (TRANS-NET)" (TRANS-NET)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

"The objective of this project is to clarify and compare the complex process of transnationalism. During the past few years, transnationalism has attained ever greater importance and topicality due to the increase in transnational mobility of people. In order to attain a comprehensive and valid insight into the topic in question we adopt a multilevel approach. The research conducted in Estonia, Fi ...

Molecular analysis of single-strand break repair (SSBR) in human cells (SSB repair)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,

DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) can arise directly by the action of free radicalsor indirectly as intermediates of base excision repair or topoisomerase I activity. Moreover, replication can convert a SSB into a double-strand break (DSB), one of the most severe DNA lesions that can occur in living cells. Single-strand break repair (SSBR) is therefore crucial to ensure cell survival and the mainte ...

Secondary movements of Somalis within Europe (Secondary Movements)

Start date: Feb 15, 2008, End date: Feb 14, 2010,

"This research project will examine the recent phenomenon of secondary movements from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom among a differentiated group of Somali refugees and (rejected) asylum seekers. Researching the various reasons legal as well as illegal Somalis may have for this specific secondary movement will tell us something about contemporary asylum migration in Europe. The different m ...
