Direct synthesis of DImethyl ether from synGAS – DIGAS
DIGAS project aims at developing a heterogeneous catalytic process for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from sustainable sources and for several energy applications. The project goes in the frames of the Challenge “Clean, safe and effective energy” for the Young Scientist competition. Sy
Self-Assembled AlGaN Nanostructures Design, Modelling, Opto-Electronic Properties for UV Emitters – NANOGANUV
Gallium Nitride (GaN) based materials have emerged as the leading technology for a wide range of optoelectronic applications in the visible range. In particular, blue emitting lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) have led to the development of widely used “white LEDs” and “Blu-Ray” technologies.
a Physical InterNet cross-docking hUb conTrol System – PI-NUTS
The PI-NUTS (“Physical InterNet cross-docking hUb conTrol System”) project contributes to the Physical Internet (p) field, which is an innovative paradigm, breaking with the usual approaches of current actual logistic systems. The aim of this new paradigm is to fight the unsustainability symptoms in
Valorization of new High Added Value Compounds (HAVC) from European vine and wine production solid wastes – technological, economical and social issues – VALUXTRACT
The extraction yield of bio-active compounds from plant materials is influenced mainly by the process of extraction. The traditional extraction technique employs large amounts of solvents. New processes such as Pulsed Electric Fields, High Voltage Electric Discharges and Subcritical Water Extraction
Combined effects of tree plantation expansion and climate change on the hydro-sedimentary functioning of tropical mountain watersheds: aquatic microbial diversity as a proxy land use transition – TecItEasy
x x x x Rapid expansion of tree plantations worldwide simplifies landscape mosaics and is suspected to accelerate land degradation (soil and water resources, erosion of microbial functional diversity). In many tropical catchments, the combined effects of economic, demographic and climate pressures a
Absorbent falling film with free-surface instabilities: exploration – FRAISE
FRAISE project intends to optimize energy conversion through falling-film absorption processes. Its main technological outcome is the development of innovative concepts for the design of efficient desorbers, which represents the bottleneck for the conception of new compact absorption machines adapt
Polymer-Assisted Synthesis of Sulphide CATAlysts for hydrotreatment reactions – PASSCATA
Worldwide growth of the global mobility of people and merchandises, along with industrial activity have resulted in a severe increase in airborne pollutants concentration in the last decades. The production of cleaner fuels used for on-road and off-road transportations has been imposed to refiners a
Leveraging Insurance for services providers cohabitation over Cognitive Radio Networks – LICoRNe
Efficient spectrum management and optimization are becoming the cornerstones for the deployment of our future mobile communications systems and, in this way, severely impact the incredible deployment of various mobile wireless technologies that would enable the instantiation of the 4G vision. As a d
High energy efficiency heat pumps for relectrified vehicles and trains – ELEC-HP
The ELEC-HP project aims at developing a family of automotive heat pumps to be sustituted to heating by electric resistances. Barriers to overcome are as follows: - use a refrigerant with a GWP < 150, which presents good energy efficiency in heating for -20 °C outdoor temperature and in cooling
Control of molecular processes in contact with an environment – CoMoc
1- Scientific background and objectives The control of molecular processes in contact with an environment, such as the trapping and handling of molecules inside nanocages, opens important prospects. Among many intended applications we can highlight the design of nanomachines, miniaturized classical
