Compliance and effectiveness in HF and CHD closed-loop management (HeartCycle)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
Each year Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) causes over 1.9 million deaths in the EU, causing direct health costs of €105 billion. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), half of all CVD deaths, is the single most cause of death in Europe. Heart Failure (HF) – a CHD being the most frequent cause of hospitalization for people over 65 – has 10 million patients in the EU. Current treatment of HF entails recommendat ...

Surface functionalisation of cellulose matrices using cellulose embedded nano-particles (Surfuncell)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,
The projects main R&T objective is to create new, smart and bio-based surface nanostructured polymer composites showing exceptional surface functionality (mechanical, chemical, selective interaction properties). These new materials will be composed of nano-scaled polysaccharides layers with embedded nano-particles, coating different celluloses matrices. The compounding is restricted to the biopoly ...

Advanced Fault Diagnosis for Safer Flight Guidance and Control (ADDSAFE)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,
"Recent airliner accident and incident statistics show that about 16% of the accidents between 1993 and 2007 can be attributed to Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), caused by a piloting mistake, technical malfunctions or unusual upsets due to external disturbances. Loss of flight control remains the second largest accident category after Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accounting for 23% of ...

Functional liquid Crystalline dendrimers: Synthesis of New Materials, Resource for New Applications (Dendreamers)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,
Dendrimers are new materials obtained with a highly controlled molecular structure in several space orientations. Liquid Crystals (LC) Dendrimers are a part of them that incorporate directional properties to these materials. If we append active molecules into these engineered molecules, we can obtain multifunctional anisotropic molecules that open the possibility of achieving a wide variety of phy ...

Initial Training Network: Lateralized Attention Networks (ITN-LAN)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
"The proposed Initial Training Network for Lateralized Attention Networks (ITN-LAN) brings together 6 research teams with established international reputations and, more importantly, is founded on well established collaborations. The long-term scientific objectives of the proposed ITN-LAN are: (1) To validate and standardize a behavioural battery for assessing the attentional networks of the two ...

Slave Trade Slavery Abolitions and their Legacies in European Histories and Identities (EURESCL)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
"Ce projet a pour objet de replacer la traite et l’esclavage dans l’histoire de l’Europe : histoire globale à construire ; histoires nationales à mettre en relation entre elles et, dans le cas de la traite et de l’esclavage transatlantique, avec leurs colonies ou leurs zones d’influence extra-européennes. A l’intérieur de cet ensemble, elle a plus spécifiquement pour objectif de faire une étude su ...

SELF-ORGANIZED NANOMATERIALS FOR TAILORED OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES (NANOGOLD)
Date du début: 1 août 2009, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2012,
The NANOGOLD project aims at the fabrication and application of bulk electro-magnetic metamaterials. A promising new concept for the exploration of metamaterials is the use of periodic structures with periods considerably shorter than the wavelength of the operating electromagnetic radiation This concept allows to control the refractive properties. Making use of a bottom up approach in materials d ...

DynaLearn - Engaging and informed tools for learning conceptual system knowledge (DynaLearn)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2012,
Description
Despite this importance, there is an alarming decline in the number of students choosing science subjects. Reasons for this include the perceived complexity, the idea that these subjects are uninteresting and tedious, and the lack of effective cognitive tools that enable learners to acquire the expertise in a way that fits its qu ...

Biaxial Nematic Devices (BIND)
Date du début: 7 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 6 févr. 2012,
The recent experimental discovery of novel biaxial liquid crystal (LC) phases is a major breakthrough in functional materials and presents a challenge to develop the technology for a new generation of faster biaxial LC displays. These expectations are based on the existence of a secondary director that can be controlled by external fields. However, to be put in practice, this new possibility requi ...

Flume study of flood history effects on sediment entrainment and transport in gravel-bed rivers (FLOODSETS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2010,
"Floods are among the most effective geomorphic force featuring the landscape, and also one of the most hazardous natural phenomena. The timing of flood events has a major impact on fluvial morphodynamics, river management and flood protection planning, especially under a perspective of climate change, i.e. long drought periods followed by flashy intense floods. However, the effects of different s ...
