Although extensive data exist at the national level, the picture becomes less clear on careful inspection. An EU-backed project developed indicators to measure poverty at the local level.http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=OFFR_TM_EN&ACTION=D&RCN=11147http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=OFFR_TM_EN&ACTION=D&RCN=11153Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:00:01 GMTOffersEuropean researchers have developed a novel bioelectronic nose that mimics an animal''s nose.

It focuses on a novel clinical data collection and analysis approach to address and treat psychosocial difficulties faced by people with different brain and neurological disorders.http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=OFFR_TM_EN&ACTION=D&RCN=11160http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=OFFR_TM_EN&ACTION=D&RCN=11168Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:00:01 GMTOffersThe most fearsome aspect of cancer depends on the ability of cancer cells to spread from a primary tumour and to form new cancers in distant organs. The process is known as metastasis and scientists are edging closer to new preventative therapies.http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=OFFR_TM_EN&ACTION=D&RCN=11168http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=OFFR_TM_EN&ACTION=D&RCN=11177Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:00:01 GMTOffersAsia produces most of the seafood on European tables and their research savvy is catching up fast with that in Europe.
