SECTOR: Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (Project)
...It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor storage. By combining torrefaction with pelletisation or briquetting, biomass is converted into a high-energy-density commodity solid fuel or bioenergy carrier with superior properties in view of (long-distance) transport, handling and storage, and also in many major end-use applications (e.g., co-firing in pulverised-coal fired power plants, (co-)gasification in entrained-flow gasifiers and combustion in distributed pellet boilers. ...

EUBerry. The sustainable improvement of European berry production, quality and nutritional value in a changing environment: Strawberries, Currants, Blackberries, Blueberries and Raspberries. (Project)
...This project will apply the most recent technical advances in: a) Identifying germplasm of the main berry fruit genera appropriate for sustainable production throughout the EU, with respect to fruit quality and environmental adaptation and expanding use of modern breeding strategies to accelerate the release of new berry fruit cultivars into the future; b) Ensuring and expanding high-quality production systems to improve availability of high-quality fresh berries for consumers by focusing on the modern cultivation techniques for berry season extension, on adaptation to different cultivation conditions and systems, as well as to climate change, and on reducing the impact on environment in different European regions; c) Developing and applying validated methods to control and maintain fruit nutritional quality, improving shelf-life of fresh berries and increasing their availability to consumers; d) Developing economic studies to verify the impacts of the new technologies in increasing berry economic viability, farmer and consumer attractiveness; e) Disseminate and communicate the results to research scientists, academia, technical services, growers, market organizations, consumers, food industries, health authorities and regulatory and legislative authorities....

Factors controlling concentrations and losses of dissolved carbon and nitrogen from semi-natural, agricultural and re-wetted bogs in Lower Saxony (Germany) (Project)
...Data from the “Ahlenmoor” clearly showed that concentrations of both C and N depend on groundwater levels and thus land use. ...The comparison of field results with laboratory column experiments emphasized the importance of soil hydrologic processes and conditions (e.g. pore water velocity) on DOC concentrations. ...

Total genome sequencing of S. aureus, B. cereus and clostridia by NGS: Genetic structures of antibiotic resistance, virulence factors and species demarcation (Project)
...The unit "Microbial Toxins" uses whole genome sequencing (WGS) to characterize isolates of the pathogenic species groups presumptive Bacillus (B.) cereus, Clostridia (C.), and coagulase-positive Staphylococci (S.). In the field of Bacilli, the focus is on issues concerning species differentiation within the B. cereus group, fine typing of isolates (e.g. outbreak strains, biopesticidal strains) and new virulence markers. ...

Investigation of inhalation toxicity and adverse cardiovascular effects of flavors in e-cigarette vapor using a realistic exposure model (Project)
...The objective of this in vitro study is to examine the toxicity of common flavouring agents in e-liquids and to ascertain the dose-response relationship between flavourings and lung cells and secondary tissues for the purpose of human risk assessment. ...In a preliminary study a system for aerosol generation was developed that allows the production of representative and reproducible aerosols from e-liquids with different flavours, with emissions monitored on a puff-by-puff basis. The same methodology will be employed to expose cells to flavoured e-cigarette aerosols. The findings of this project will facilitate the identification of the toxicological effects of flavours in e-cigarette aerosols on human lung cells and on cell models of secondary organs....
