Secure and Trustworthy Composite Services (ANIKETOS)
Start date: Aug 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,
The Future Internet will provide an environment in which a diverse range of services are offered by a diverse range of suppliers, and users are likely to unknowingly invoke underlying services in a dynamic and ad hoc manner. Moving from today's static services, we will see service consumers that transparently mix and match service components depending on service availability, quality, price and se ...

Security and decontamination of drinking water distribution systems following a deliberate contamination (SecurEau)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
Vulnerability of drinking water distribution systems to deliberate attacks, which would have major public health, economic and psychosocial consequences, is one of the main issues of concern to regulatory agencies, and water utilities. Such a network appears very vulnerable and easy to contaminate through reservoirs, back-flow… The main objective of this proposal is to limit the impact on the popu ...

Development of Sustainable Composite Materials (SustainComp)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
The SustainComp project aims at the development of a series of completely new wood-based sustainable composite materials for use in a wide array of market sectors, ranging from the medical, transportation and packaging to the construction sector. A primary goal is to substitute fossil-based materials used in these sectors. The performance of today’s biocomposite materials is not sufficient for a r ...

Targeting Protein Synthesis in the Apicoplast and Cytoplasm of Plasmodium (MEPHITIS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"The protein synthesis machinery represents one of the most useful targets for the development of new anti-infectives. Several families of broadly used antibiotics (tetracyclines, macrolides, and novel glycopeptides like vancomycin, among others) exert their function by blocking the protein synthesis machinery. Doxicycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, remains a useful tool for the prevention of pal ...

Role of EIN3 and ethylene signaling in Arabidopsis development (ETSIGDEV)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
"Hormones play a critical role throughout the entire life cycle of plants. The gas ethylene is, together with auxin, one of the earliest characterized plant hormones. Ethylene distinguishes itself among the other plants hormones by its simple hydrocarbon structure (C2H4) and its gaseous nature. This simple molecule, however, plays a major role in plant growth and development by influencing a wide ...
