European Prevention of Alzheimer’s Dementia Consortium (EPAD)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2019,
Background:The secondary prevention of Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) is achievable if we can identify individuals at risk of disease progression defined by biomarker evidence of AD pathology and no or only minimal clinical symptoms and engage them in a standing adaptive clinical trial, of the highest quality, testing multiple interventions. To achieve this, EPAD will also provide the analytical infras ...

Development of advanced catalysts for PEMFC automotive applications (NANO-CAT)
Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
Many efforts have been put on the reduction of the Pt loading but nowadays a threshold seems to be obtained. Because the kinetics of the Hydrogen Oxidation Reaction is very fast on Pt, it is possible to use MEA with a Pt loading as low as 35 µgPt/cm-2 without any effect on the voltage loss when such an anode is used in front of a well working cathode. But, the Oxygen Reduction Reaction kinetics is ...

AnThocyanin and polyphenol bioactives for Health Enhancement through Nutritional Advancement (ATHENA)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
Anthocyanins are health promoting dietary polyphenols that protect against cardiovascular disease, caner and obesity in preclinical studies with animals. The ATHENA project will address how good dietary anthocyanins are in protecting against chronic disease, by addressing the following questions: • Benefits and risks: What is the dose response to anthocyanin phytonutrients? Are anthocyanins from d ...

Development of improved methods for detection, control and eradication of pine wood nematode in support of EU Plant Health policy (REPHRAME)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,
Europe’s pine forests are a valuable economic, social and environmental resource under threat from the introduction of the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Although not a pest in its native North America, PWN has devastated forests in Asia. Since the arrival of PWN in Portugal, the native maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, has proved to be extremely susceptible, with PWN being s ...

Optimised storage integration for the electric car (OSTLER)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,
Present-day electric vehicles are typically designed by starting from an existing vehicle platform and designing a storage device (battery pack) to fit the constraints of the existing vehicle. OSTLER is based on the concept of modular storage devices around which an electric vehicle (EV) can be designed. The vehicle designer can select storage capacity to give range in EV mode (e.g. 20 km, 50 km, ...

Climate change predictions in Sub-Saharan Africa: impacts and adaptations (CLIMAFRICA)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
Africa is probably the most vulnerable continent to climate change and climate variability and shows diverse range of agro-ecological and geographical features. Thus the impacts of climate change can be very high and will greatly differ across the continent, and even within countries. There is a urgent need for the most appropriate and up-to-date tools to better understand and predict climate chan ...

Investigation of Si wafer damage in manufacturing processes (SIDAM)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2011,
Wafer handling in semiconductor manufacturing introduces microcracks at the wafer edge. During thermal processing, some of these grow into slip bands; on rapid thermal processing some of these grow into cracks, shattering the wafer and disrupting manufacture. Dense slip bands also lead to yield loss by locally increasing diffusion rates. Breakage losses alone were of the order of €2.5M p.a. for a ...
