CORDIS-JRC

In close collaboration with international nuclear research organisations, scientists from the JRC described a method to improve the analysis of cross section measurements at a cold neutron beam. This work is part of the JRC contribution to improve the accuracy of nuclear data, which are important for the development of innovative reactor systems.

JRC scientists have compiled and published an overview of the legislation and practical modalities for the implementation of radionuclide monitoring in foodstuff in the European Union. The overview also provides an outline of the monitoring programmes instituted by the Member States and stresses the importance of the quality of data.

A patient having AIDs or undergoing chemotherapy has a compromised immune system and is very vulnerable, particularly to multi-drug–resistant fungi. As most anti-fungal drugs are severely toxic there is a large gap in a world market worth USD 4 billion annually.

Researchers have investigated play behaviour in pigs as a way to measure overall livestock animal welfare.

Play behaviour is believed to be a good indicator of animal welfare since it is an indication of the pleasure that animals experience when they are relaxed. There is, however, little information available on play behaviour in animal production systems.
