The project is focusing on the salinity gradient power reverse electro-dialysis (SGP-RE) process. It has been shown in scientific papers that the performance of the process can be increased by an order of magnitude when brine and sea or brackish water are used for the creation of the salinity gradient rather than the current approach of seawater with fresh water. The overall potential is very high and the REAPower project aims to enable the SGP-RE technology to play an important role in the energy mix of the next decades, contributing to the major objectives of energy policy for sustainability, security of supply and competitiveness. The following specific scientific and technological objectives are expected to be achieved within the life-time of the project: (i) Create materials and components tailored to the requirements of the process, including the membranes, spacers, electrodes and electrolyte. (ii) Optimise the design of the SGP-RE cell pairs and stack using a computer modelling tool developed for that purpose (iii) Verify the model, and assess the developed materials, components and design through tests on laboratory stacks. (iv) Evaluate and improve the performance of the overall system through tests on a prototype fed with real brine from a salt pond (v) Evaluate the results, analyse the economics, assess the environmental impacts and define the next necessary R&D activities for further development of the technology. The REAPower project explores a new path that has been so far only theoretically analysed. A highly innovative novel technology will be applied that overcomes the limitations of the current approach. The multidisciplinary consortium brings together key players from the industry and the academic world to work across traditional boundaries. The development of the new materials and components will contribute to the establishment of a strong scientific and technical base for European science and technology in this emerging area of energy research.
Effects of anthropogenic noise on fish behaviour and development Background Anthropogenic (man-made) noise is causing an ever-increasing problem in the natural world and it penetrates through all media - air, soil, vegetation and even water -, and may therefore affect any animals with hearing abilities and for which sound plays a crucial role. Compared to terrestrial animals, however, there have been far fewer investigations of the impact of anthropogenic noise on marine and freshwater organisms; relatively little is known about how exposure to such sounds affects fish. Investigations into potentially negative influences on fish are vital because they provide a critical food resource to the burgeoning human population and form an integral link in many food webs. The need for scientifically rigorous studies examining the impacts of anthropogenic noise on fish is therefore obvious, and has been highlighted in recent academic review and by inclusion in the policies of international and national organisations. Many species live in groups, where social interactions are essential. This is especially true for cooperative breeders - species in which parents are assisted in the care of their offspring by other individuals, known as 'helpers' - which display a wide repertoire of behaviours. Cooperatively breeding fishes are frequently territorial and consequently cannot escape areas of high anthropogenic noise; they are therefore highly vulnerable to any disruptive effects of such noise on behaviour and development. However, nothing is yet known about how anthropogenic noise might impact helping behaviour and very little about its effects on fish development. Objectives This project focuses on the effects of anthropogenic noise on fish behaviour and development. Specifically, I will investigate for the first time in fish how anthropogenic noise affects cooperative behaviour. Furthermore, I will examine how any noise-induced changes in cooperative care impact on offspring development, in addition to direct effects arising from the exposure of eggs and fry to the noise itself. By combining physiological assessment of hearing thresholds, controlled experimental manipulations, detailed behavioural observations and developmental measures of a well-studied model species (the cooperatively breeding cichlid, Neolamprologus pulcher), my overall aim is to advance our understanding of the disruptiveness of man-made sound on fish. In particular, I will address the following key research questions: o Q1. Does anthropogenic noise disrupt cooperative behaviour? o Q2. How is reproductive success affected by anthropogenic noise?
Dieses Projekt umfasste zwei Phasen. Das Resultat der ersten Kooperationsphase mit der VOLKSWAGEN AG bestand darin, ein ganzes Modul 'Nachhaltige Technologieentwicklung für die VOLKSWAGEN AutoUniversität auszuarbeiten. In der zweiten Phase wurden für die weitere Ausgestaltung und konkrete Durchführung dieses Moduls unterschiedliche Dienstleistungen angeboten. Zum ersten wurde Herr Prof. Dr. Heiner Boehncke dafür gewonnen, eine Eingangs-Schreibwerkstatt zu veranstalten, in denen die Studierenden bei VW Utopien der Mobilitätsentwicklung entwerfen sollten. Zum zweiten wurde unter Mitarbeit aller AutorInnen vier Lehrbriefe zum Thema Stoffgeschichten entwickelt (Materialien zum Online-Lernen), die für die Weiterentwicklung des Konzeptes wie seiner Verbreitung in der Lehre von großer Bedeutung sind. Zum dritten wurde ein halbtägiges Blockseminar bei VW durchgeführt (Dr. Stefan Böschen). Schließlich hatte Prof. Dr. Armin Reller die Aufgabe, die gesamte Präsenzphase dieser Lehreinheit zu moderieren. Vor dem Hintergrund der großen Resonanz dieses Themas bei den Studierenden und auch der guten bis sehr guten Kritik ist geplant, diese Lehreinheit auch im kommenden Jahr bei VW anzubieten. Dabei ist vorgesehen, sie zugleich in zwei Modulen zum Einsatz kommen zu lassen. Die zentrale Bedeutung dieses Projektes liegt in der Konzeptionierung und konkreten Durchführung einer Lehrveranstaltung, die sich der Methodologie der WZU Stoffgeschichten widmet. Hierfür sollten Online-Lehrmaterial wie Materialien für einen Präsenzworkshop entwickelt werden. Darüber hinaus war auch eine intensive Betreuung der Studierenden der VW AutoUni zu garantieren und mit entsprechenden Online-Lernformen zu unterstützen. Projektziel: Für diese Lehreinheit musste zunächst eine Gesamtrahmenkonzeption entwickelt werden. Diese wurde mittels Literaturarbeit und in Abstimmung mit WZU-Mitgliedern erarbeitet. Zentral war dabei ein dreistufiges Vorgehen. In einem ersten Schritt sollten die Studierenden Visionen, Utopien der Mobilitätsentwicklung für sich aufzeichnen. In einem zweiten Schritt sollen sie wichtige Tools zur Beurteilung von Technologien kennen lernen und in einem dritten Schritt schließlich die Utopien in konkrete Szenarien übersetzen. Dabei spielen die im zweiten Schritt eingeführten Stoffgeschichten nicht nur eine besondere Rolle bei der Beurteilung der Nachhaltigkeit von bestimmten Stoffen und Produkten, sondern auch bei der Stimulierung von Kreativität, um den anderen als vertrauten Blick zu üben. Dazu wurden konkrete Stoffgeschichten (historisch: FCKW; aktuell: Silicone) aufgegriffen und der besondere Perspektivenwechsel herausgestellt, unter dem das Problem erst zu erkennen war. usw.
Technology gaps exist within the EU that prohibit compliance with the Water Framework Directive in providing an integrated water resource management strategy that will secure both water quality and quantity. The fundamental objective of the ATWARM ITN is to enhance the career prospects of 16 young researchers by providing them with greatly enhanced multidisciplinary skills and business aptitudes that will enable them to address these technology gaps. The two scientific objectives of the ATWARM proposal are: (i) To develop advanced technologies for enhancing the performance and/or sustainability of water and wastewater treatment plants, and (ii) To develop advanced technologies for enhancing water quality, including advanced technologies for analysis and monitoring. 14 ESR and 2 ER will participate in an integrated research programme. Each will be located within specific host organisations and will be seconded to other sites to improve their multidisciplinary skills and their knowledge of ATWARM as a whole. They will receive specific in-lab training plus general S&T training at 3 Summer Schools and other relevant training events. Complementary training (involving external participants) structured to accommodate the personal career needs of each Fellow will also be provided. The ATWARM network will involve seven host organisations located in UK, Ireland and Germany. These organisations (four academic, one research and two industrial partners) have distinct but complementary research foci and, due to their involvement in an existing network, are already collaborating effectively. Participation in ATWARM will foster relationships between the partners and ensure the long term sustainability of the network. ATWARM will be coordinated by Queens University Belfast (which is experienced in the management and administration of large FP research projects) and will be managed by a Supervisory Board to ensure that all Fellows receive the same high standard of training.

Both of these aspects will be enhanced by expert opinion, making this project unique in providing relevant web-based reports in a common format across all sectors, considered by all criteria, and widely publicized. observatoryNANO will become an industry leading and opinion forming catalyst for nanotechnology in the EU. The purpose is to avoid the exaggerated socio-economic impact of nanotechnologies and place developments in a realistic time-frame. It will present a reliable, complete, and responsible science-based and economic expert analysis of peer-reviewed literature, patents, national funding strategies, investment trends, and markets; in combination with information derived from questionnaires, interviews and workshops with academic and industry leaders, investors, and other key stakeholders.
Es handelt sich um ein hochschuldidaktisches Projekt, in dem Formen der internetgestützten Lehre entwickelt, erprobt und evaluiert werden. Dazu werden laufend theoretische Grundlagen und praktische Ansätze an Hochschulen aufgearbeitet und ggf. Konsequenzen für den eigenen Ansatz gezogen. Die Webseiten zu der Lehre sind so konzipiert, dass sie im öffentlichen Teil auch ein freies Angebot darstellen, dass jeder Studierende bzw. jeder Interessierte es nutzen kann. Seit WS 03/04 wurde in der Universität Osnabrück für alle pädagogischen Lehrveranstaltungen eine Lehrplattform Stud.IP eingeführt, die die bisherigen eigenen Webseiten zu den Lehrveranstaltungen ersetzt. Seither wurde Stud.IP in meiner Lehre intensiv genutzt. Das auch die Lehre unterstützende Webseitenangebot, das auch in Zukunft ständig ausgebaut wird, bezieht sich auch auf meine Hauptprojektbereiche NUSO und Päd. Umweltberatung und ein Service-Portal für Umweltbildung und Nachhaltige Entwicklung, die über die Universität hinaus auch ein Angebot für die Region darstellen. Derzeit wurde ein weiteres Projekt eines lokalen /regionalen Internetportals für Umweltbildung und Lokale Agenda 21 vorbereitet. Die eigene Arbeit war 2001/2002 Teil eines Antrages der Universität Osnabrück zum Programm ELAN (E-Learning Academic Network Niedersachsen), aus dessen Bewilligung das Zentrum zur Unterstützung virtueller Lehre (VirtUOS) entstand.
Objective: The proposed project is designed to address the problem of pollution of the environment by road vehicles as denned under the Thematic Priority 1.6.2, Sustainable Surface Transport relating to the Work Programme 'Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area'. The research activities of the consortium will be based around state of the art developments in the area of optical fibre sensor and intelligent instrumentation technology to formulate a system for on line monitoring of exhaust emissions from road vehicles. The application of this technology to resolving the problems of atmospheric pollutants and their regional impacts is therefore highly appropriate to the issue identified in the thematic roadmap i.e. 'New technologies and concepts for all surface transport modes'. The consortium which will execute the research programme comprises six members from four EC member states. They include four academic institutions, an SME and an end user (a major European car manufacturer). Their combined expertise and knowledge of the technological and business issues will facilitate the rapid development of the technology into a demonstratable prototype within the three year lifetime of the project. The project's technical objectives are summarised as follows: -. To set up laboratory based test facilities such that the sensor systems may be characterised in a precisely controlled and reproducible manner. Therefore, individual parameters such as optical absorption and scattering may be studied in isolation as well as collectively.. To isolate and identify the optical signals arising from contaminants present in the complex mixtures of exhaust systems of a wide range of vehicles using advanced and novel optical fibre based spectroscopie interrogation techniques. To develop novel optical fibre sensors which are miniature and robust in their construction and may be fitted...
The project 4G-PHOTOCAT allies the expertise of 7 academic and 3 industrial partners from 5 EU countries (Germany, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Poland, and Finland) and 2 ASEAN countries (Malaysia and Vietnam) for the development of a novel generation of low-cost nano-engineered photocatalysts for sunlight-driven water depollution. Through rational design of composites in which the solar light-absorbing semiconductors are coupled to nanostructured redox co-catalysts based on abundant elements, the recombination of photogenerated charges will be suppressed and the rate of photocatalytic reactions will be maximized. In order to achieve fabrication of optimal architectures, advanced chemical deposition techniques with a high degree of control over composition and morphology will be employed and further developed. Furthermore, novel protocols will be developed for the implementation of the photocatalysts into a liquid paint, allowing for the deposition of robust photoactive layers onto flat surfaces, without compromising the photoactivity of immobilized photocatalysts. Such paintable photoreactors are envisaged particularly as low-cost devices for detoxification of water from highly toxic persistent organic pollutants which represent a serious health issue in many remote rural areas of Vietnam and other countries. The 4G-PHOTOCAT project will provide novel scientific insights into the correlation between compositional/structural properties and photocatalytic reaction rates under sunlight irradiation, as well as improved fabrication methods and enhanced product portfolio for the industrial partners. Finally, 4G-PHOTOCAT will lead to intensified collaboration between scientists working at the cutting edge of synthetic chemistry, materials science, heterogeneous photocatalysis, theoretical modelling, and environmental analytics, as well as to unique reinforcement of cooperation between scientists and industry partners from EU and ASEAN countries.
The current project proposal discloses a novel biorefinery process for a sustainable, waste free, low energy conversion route of negative value marine waste streams into high value, high performance chemical intermediates and products for the polymer industry. The project has a strong emphasis on technology development and transfer to low-tech and developing countries in the EU and associated ICPC and therefore will significantly contribute to the technological and economic leadership of the EU. The technologies disclosed in this project will foster the natural growth of sustainable economies in the EU and beyond by eliminating the need for fossil resources to preserve and exceed the current standard of living. The innovative technologies developed in this project will apply novel concepts for the production of bio-based platform chemicals that act as 'drop-ins' for existing and novel polymer production processes with high atom efficiencies. The unique assembly of the current consortium consisting of academics, SME's and large scale chemical industry partners, clearly has the scientific and technical expertise to rapidly transform laboratory based results into novel product lines at an accelerated time frame. As a part of the strategy the consortium has included Demonstration Activities as require by the FP7-KBBE-Call.
