Levodopa (L-DOPA) taken along with a peripheral DOPA-decarboxylase inhibitor is commonly used as an effective anti-Parkinson’s agent.

General MA2024TEA558A101 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Poultry is an affordable and sustainable source of animal protein in Morocco. To align with SDG2 and with the plan Maroc Vert, the poultry industry needs to abandon the use of antibiotics as growth promotors to prevent antimicrobial resistance, a growing global health threat. Microalgae have growth and immunostimulant properties and could potentially replace antibiotics in poultry feed. They have addition advantages as they could enhance the nutritional quality of eggs and/or chicken meat. The proposed TEAM project will use locally isolated and…

However, the construction of new transmission infrastructure is a big issue, not only in Ecuador, but also globally. As such, the current Transmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP) decision-making process, a weakness in today’s system planning, needs to be improved. Therefore, having appropriate decision-making tools that can support stakeholder`s interaction, can help to speed up the development process of transmission infrastructure which…

General EC2023SIN379B125 01/09/2023 - 31/08/2025 The Ecuadorian Daule Peripa dam and its down-stream Daule river, both parts of the Guayas River Basin (GRB), are of utmost importance for the local communities as they directly depend on these water bodies for their drinking water, the cattle’s drinking water and for irrigation. The GRB however struggles with pollution and harmful algae blooms (HABs), caused by an overgrowth of toxic cyanobacteria. Besides local communities, they impact the water utility companies by clogging filters and leading to extra costs for removing the toxins. Until now…
