Information, Fluctuations, and Energy Control in Small Systems (INFERNOS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Strong statistical fluctuations in meso- and nano-scale structures make their thermodynamic properties extremely dependent on the information available about them. The most basic process illustrating the importance of information to statistical systems is the information-to-energy conversion in the famous Maxwell's Demon (MD). Our primary goal is to study both experimentally and theoretically the ...

Solar Collectors made of Polymers (SCOOP)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
The international solar thermal market has progressed strongly over the last years. Especially in China, the USA and Europe, the manufacturing and commissioning of installations has grown rapidly. The major share of worldwide installed solar-thermal collectors consists of vacuum tube and glazed flat plate collectors. Both types are currently produced by time-consuming and cost-intensive manufactur ...

Metastatic tumours facilitated by hypoxic tumour micro-environments (METOXIA)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,
"Recent research suggests that the hypoxic micro-environment of tumours is one of the major drivers of metastatic spread of cancer. Furthermore, hypoxic tumour micro-environments may result in treatment resistance of cancer cells, therefore causing a double effect of reducing the potential of a successful treatment of the cancer patient. This project seeks to clarify the roles and functions of the ...

European Research Infrastructures for Nuclear Data Applications (ERINDA)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
Different concepts involving critical (fast) reactors or subcritical accelerator-driven systems are being studied in view of their transmutation capabilities. These design studies imply high demands on the underlying nuclear database. The need for improved nuclear data has been expressed in the Strategic Research Agenda of the SNE-TP ( Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform).The accurate k ...

"IRIS - Interests & Recruitment in Science. Factors influencing recruitment, retention and gender equity in science, technology and mathematics higher education" (IRIS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2012,
"IRIS (Interest & Recruitment in Science) addresses the challenge that few young people (women in particular) choose education and career in science, technology and mathematics (STM). Women represent the greatest recruitment potential to STM; moreover, a higher participation from women may expand the ways of thinking and working within this area and contribute to gender equity. To understand and ...
