High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Commercial aircraft have been experiencing in-service events while flying in the vicinity of deep convective clouds since at least the early 1990s. Heated probes and engines are the areas of air-craft most prone to mixed phase and glaciated icing threat. In anticipation of regulation changes regarding mixed phase and glaciated icing conditions, the HAIC project will provide the necessary Acceptabl ...

Accelerated Metallurgy - the accelerated discovery of alloy formulations using combinatorial principles (AccMet)

Start date: Jun 15, 2011, End date: Jun 14, 2016,

... facility for the combinatorial synthesis and testing of many thousands of unexplored alloy formulations. This facility would be the first of its kind in the world and would represent a significant advance for metallurgy. The novel technology that enables this HTT facility is based on automated, direct laser deposition (DLD). The key feature of this technology is the way in which a mixture of elem ...

A systems BIOlogy Study to TAilored Treatment in Chronic Heart Failure (BIOSTAT-CHF)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Heart failure is common in Europe and its prevalence is increasing as our population ages. Despite major improvements in care since the early 90s, it is still related to a poor prognosis, an impaired quality of life and high health care costs. Many new therapies have failed to improve outcome further. One obvious reason is that the response to treatment is not homogenous. Treatment may need to be ...

Developing a Knowledge Network for EUropean expertise on biodiversity and ecosystem services to inform policy making economic sectors (KNEU)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

"Knowledge about biodiversity and ecosystem services is well advanced in the European scientific community, as demonstrated by many excellent projects and their scientific impact. However, on the global as well as the European scale, there is a failure to communicate the knowledge gained into the policy-making process and society as a whole. Such communication efforts, must ensure that all relevan ...
