[PROJECT] CONPHIRMER - Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals Interception using Radiofrequency
Methods in Realtime
ID: 261670
Start date: 2011-07-01, End date: 2014-12-31
The CONPHIRMER consortium has come together to put into the hands of customs officers and other agents of law enforcement a portable and easy-to-use sensor for telling genuine medicines from fakes without having to remove the medicines from their packaging. With this device a...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Baseline
The NEMESIS model provides baseline scenario describing national and sectoral trends for European countries (the 15 European members plus Norway) on 2005-2030, and thus highlights main challenges that Europe should meet in the next 25 year.
The European growth does not excee...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Detection of day-night patterns in CO2 column signal retrieved from TOVS instrument
The first retrievals of CO2 from space using the observations from the TOVS instrument on the NOAA polar satellites exhibit credible upper troposphere CO2 concentration patterns (Chedin et al., 2003). This pioneering work demonstrates that remote sensing of CO2 from space is a...

[REPORT SUMMARY] BOGCM PISCES, model runs, sediment coupling (Community sediment model: sediment composition and benthic oxygen fluxes)
During OROIS, a sediment module was implemented to the standard PISCES model. The development of the sediment module closely followed Heinze et al. (1999). The description of POC remineralisation, limited to oxide degradation in Heinze et al. (1999), was extended to sub-oxide ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Laboratory experiments, CaCO3
The quantification of in-situ carbonate dissolution rates relies on an accurate parameterisation of carbonate dissolution kinetics, which implies an improved knowledge of the rate constant and the solubility product. Dissolution, both it in the water column and surface sedimen...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Ocean model validation with natural radiocarbon
All 13 OCMIP-2 groups made standard simulations for natural and anthropogenic C-14. Responsibilities for analyzing C-14 were split according to the nature of each component: GOSAC adopted the responsibility of analyzing simulated vs. observed natural C-14 (a tracerof deep-ocea...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Links with End-Users and Use of Indices
Summary:
Both in Italy and in France we have worked in close co-operation with potential end-users, viz. the Amministrazione Provenciale di Ferrara and the Conseil Général du Département de la Gironde, respectively. Therefore, we have developed methods to use as indices for de...
