Merging Hydrologic models and EO data for reliable information on Water (MyWater)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
In the entire world we are experiencing changing water resources needs mainly as a result of changes in land use. In developing countries the occupation of natural areas by agriculture is a major cause; economical reasons pushed by world globalization play also a major role. In both cases further global changes are expected as a result of climate change.Water availability is essential for socio-ec ...

Exploiting Nanobodies in development of new diagnostic tools and treatment methods for Trypanosomiasis (NANOTRYP)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
African trypanosomiasis is in need of new diagnostic detection tools and new treatment methods. To date the widely used card agglutination test for trypanosomiasis is not very specific as the test is based on the screening for cross-reactive host antibodies. The availability of treatment for Trypanosmiasis on the other hand is limited due to the fact that only very few drugs are registered for use ...
