Soot Processes and Radiation in Aeronautical inNOvative combustors (SOPRANO)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2020,
For decades, most of the aviation research activities have been focused on the reduction of noise and NOx and CO2 emissions. However, emissions from aircraft gas turbine engines of non-volatile PM, consisting primarily of soot particles, are of international concern today. Despite the lack of knowledge toward soot formation processes and characterization in terms of mass and size, engine manufactu ...

Novel Cell Migration Assay Based on Microtissue Technology and Tissue-Specific Matrices (MATRIXASSAY)
Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2019,
Cell migration assays are commonly used to study wound healing, cancer cell invasion, and tissue development. Problems associated with the gap closure assays typically employed are that: (i) the stopper or scratch used to make the migration zone damages the extracellular matrix (ECM), (ii) the migration zone size is limited by the size of the stopper, and (iii) the scratched migration zone shapes ...

A Unified Approach to Evaluating Cellular Immunotherapy in Solid Organ Transplantation (THE ONE STUDY)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
Preventing immunological rejection of transplanted organs without the need for long-term use of pharmacological immunosuppression is a primary objective in transplantation medicine. Reducing the need for immunosuppression would dramatically improve the outcome for transplant recipients and reduce health costs for society. The means to achieve this goal has not been realised with pharmacological or ...

Intelligent Design Methodologies for Low Pollutant Combustors for Aero-Engines (IMPACT-AE)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
The environmental benefits of low emissions lean burn technology in reducing NOx emissions up to 80% will only be effective when these are deployed to a large range of new aero-engine applications. While integrating and developing low emission combustion design rules, IMPACT-AE will deliver novel combustor design methodologies for advanced engine architectures and thermodynamic cycles. It will sup ...

Developing predictors of the health benefits of exercise for individuals (META-PREDICT)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
Physical activity is a powerful lifestyle factor that on average reduces risk for development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, we have demonstrated that following supervised endurance exercise training, 20% of subjects show no change in fitness and 30% demonstrate no improvement in insulin sensitivity or worse-still an adverse response. Our concept is that by using molecular p ...

Component Performance-driven Solutions for Long-Term Efficiency Increase in Ultra Supercritical Power Plants - MACPLUS (MACPLUS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
The intelligent and cost effective use of CCS technologies requires new strategies to increase the net efficiency of coal fired power plants. Among them, the most promising are summarised as below:- Increase working steam temperature and pressure in new USC power plants (350-370 bar, 700/720°C minimum), and hence increase the severity of fireside operating conditions,- Promote clean coal technolog ...
