BiGUV – Agricultural waste valorisation process compliant with the circular economy principles

15th Cycle, 2019, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

As Fossil resources are becoming a less desirable feedstock for the realization of many products, an alternative bioeconomy transforming renewable resources in valuable products could provide viable solutions to the global challenges posed by environmental, economic and societal sustainability. Globally, about 998 million tonnes of agricultural waste are produced yearly. Moreover, the composition of agricultural […]

ALZGAR – ALZheimer’s GARden

15th Cycle, 2019, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most frequent form of dementia, hindering independence and memory and causing a progressive withdrawal from family and society. The more the patients are isolated, the faster the disease progresses. Therefore, engaging patients in social activities and encouraging them to build and maintain strong relationships is crucial to preserve their independence

Theralight: Lightwave technologies for theranostics of tumors

14th Cycle, 2018, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Thermal Ablation (TA) is a class of interventional techniques that deploy electromagnetic energy sources to treat malignant diseases by inducing thermal damage and, eventually, coagulation necrosis in tissues. Among similar techniques, laser thermal ablation (LTA) stands out as particularly promising. The main limitations of LTA, however, are the restricted dimensions of the area ablated with
