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 ...

3to4: Converting C3 to C4 photosynthesis for sustainable agriculture (3TO4)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation. However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis. The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth. In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen. Overall, our aim is to introduce the ...

Improving the management of Salisbury Plain Natura 2000 sites (Salisbury Plain)
Start date: Apr 1, 2001, End date: Sep 30, 2005,
Background
One of the largest unbroken expanses of chalk grassland in North-West Europe can be found at Salisbury Plain. Covering some 14,000 ha, the site is a haven for a wide range of flora species that characterise this type of habitat. Its fauna value is not to be ignored either - a third of the UKâs population of stone curlew Burhinus oedicnemus br ...
