Game Guard Project (Project)

The research project 'Game Guard' is about exploring ready to use fawn rescuing systems, which can be integrated in existing workflows in a user-optimized, safe and efficient way. The focus is on two platforms: a handheld, ground-based and an airborne version. Both systems follow the approach discover – mark – rediscover – rescue and save.Before mowing, fawns are searched and detected by suitable...

Collaborative project: Personalized Decision Support at Point of Sale (PerHEPS) - subproject 2 (Project)

The goal of the project is a prototype that supports customers to match their personal preferences with product properties most conveniently at the point of sale. Primary goal is to prevent customers from information overload and to ease their decision making. Not the completeness of information is in the focus, but the personalized provisioning and evaluation of products along the preferences of...

Prevalence of human brucellosis, Q-fever and rickettsiosis infections in febrile patients and risk factors related to high risk occupational groups in Northern and Nairobi, Kenya (Project)

In many parts of the world including the Sub-Saharan region brucellosis, Q fever and rickettsioses are a major health threat. In humans, these infectious diseases manifest as relatively unspecific flu-like diseases. Intensive animal husbandry and international trade with animals have aggravated the situation over the last years. The study aims at estimating the prevalence of these diseases in...

Food-borne nanomaterials: dysregulation of gut-associated immunity – Development of an in vitro test for risk assessment (Project)

In this interdisciplinary project, we are combining the sciences of food toxicology, immunology and nanomaterials to study the effects of nanoparticles on the digestive system. Background The rapid increase in nanotechnology applications results in the deliberate or accidental incorporation of nanoparticles in food. This makes it all the more important to gain a better understanding of the...

Gastrointestinal exposure to nanoscale iron compounds in foods: absorptive pathways and potential toxicity (Project)

The human body is well able to absorb and utilise nanostructured iron compounds. Such compounds are therefore of interest for the iron fortification of foods. In this project, we aim to study the absorption mechanisms and the potential toxicity of such compounds. Background In earlier studies we were able to show that nanostructured iron compounds are readily bioavailable and often have reduced...

Biochar Europe - Biochar as option for sustainable resource management (Project)

This COST Action connects scattered European Biochar research to enable quick implementation of intelligent material flow management systems, to maintain or improve soil quality while efficiently sequestering carbon in the long-term. Innovative Biochar strategies can help the EU mitigating greenhouse gases, while industries and farmers benefit from new markets, opportunities and use of improved...

EuroChar - Biochar for Carbon sequestration and large-scale removal of greenhouse gases (GHG) from the atmosphere (Project)

The transfer of Carbon from the atmosphere into useful carbon deposits is currently a key challenge. Transferring biomass to carbon-rich materials with potential mega-scale application is an option to sequester carbon from plant material, taking it out of the short-term carbon cycle and therefore binding CO2 efficiently and even in a useful, productive, way into longer term non-atmospheric carbon...
