Implementation of a microfluidic device "point of care" (in situ) for the pre-concentration and separation by inertial forces of Plasmodium spp. in infected blood
This project designs and tests a lab-on-a-chip device with a “point of care” function that allows the detection of Malaria in a shorter time and smaller sample volumes than those required by current clinical diagnostic techniques.

Impacts of alluvial mining in the Madre de Dios Basin: physical effects and mitigation planning
This project explores the interactions between flow, sediment transport, and channel change in rivers in association with the distribution of mercury along the food chain. This project involves an integrated assessment of a coupled natural-human system in southeastern Peru where there is an urgent need to develop science-based sustainable practices and conservation of natural resources.

Image techniques applied to assets of patrimonial interest
Place:Zoom
For some time now, and in different fields, different imaging techniques have been used to support research work. Thus, assets of artistic and cultural interest in their wide variety can be studied in both their historical and conservation aspects with the help of different imaging techniques.
The Institute of Conservation and Restoration (early 1960s) was the embryo of the current Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain and already in its beginnings some of the techniques were applied, today in use in the Laboratory of Physical Studies of this institution.These techniques range from photography with visible radiation, endoscopy, fluorescence induced by u.v radiation, infrared photography, infrared reflectography and radiography on film and on a digital sensor.
In this webinar, there will be a brief presentation of the application of these techniques.
Day: October 22
