Outline Horse riders achieve a very high compliance of helmet wearing, yet equestrian activities still represent the highest rate of head-related accident and emergency admissions. One limitation is the protection that can be offered by traditional, foam-based materials. This PhD focuses on identifying emerging design approaches and technologies that provide new opportunities to leverage improved performance that can achieve better head protection products. This PhD project has been designed to work between Cardiff University and Champion Hats, a successful collaboration established over the past 5 years. Dr Theobald's research group are experienced researching new concepts within sports...
VC International Scholarship in Low-Cost Secure Energy Storage Situational Awareness for Rural Homes
Type: Funding | Location: United Kingdom | Company/Institute: Cardiff University | Updated: 25/03/2020
Outline The project aims to address energy-related issues faced by poor people living in rural and remote parts of the world. Millions of people either do not have electricity or cannot afford it. According to World Health Organization (WHO), many small rural and public facilities in resource-constrained settings suffer from unreliable energy networks. A study of 11 major sub-Saharan African countries found that roughly 1 in 4 health facilities had no access to electricity, and only about one-third of hospitals had reliable electricity access. Africa's current average 43% access rate to electricity is half of the global access rate of 87% (2019). In many rural villages, people use illegal...

Outline Many people living in developing countries face serious problems of poor air quality (AQ) due to vehicle traffic. According to World Health Organization (WHO), 97% of cities in low-and-middle income countries with more than 100,000 inhabitants do not meet WHO air quality standards (WHO Global Ambient Air Quality Database, update 2018). As per the Sustainable Mobility for All initiative (SuM4All), low and middle-income countries pay the highest price, countries with a relatively low GDP per capita tend to see higher concentrations of PM2.5, a type of particulate matter generated primarily by road traffic. As a consequence, a majority experience health issues and their life expectancy...

Outline Over the last 40 years, there has been a significant increase in overweight and obesity in high, middle- and low-income countries. This PhD would conduct secondary analysis of existing Demographic and Health Surveys, Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey and other secondary data sources to look at the relationship between a national level of urbanisation and increases in body mass index. This PhD will be the first truly global study of this phenomenon, considering a range of measures of urbanization, nutritional status and nutritional policies as well as utilizing a range of advanced quantitative methods. This PhD will aim to present a clear narrative of the different nutritional...

Outline Chitosan is a biodegradable polymer obtained from natural, abundant and renewable sources. Chitosan has been the focus of much research into its applications as an antimicrobial, and for its ability to capture heavy metals from contaminated water. To impart mechanical strength, chitosan can be deposited as a thin film onto a supporting substrate, which might be in the form of nanoparticles, fibres, or large surface-area materials. In order to optimise the functionality of these chitosan films, a fundamental understanding of the nature of the interactions between the chitosan and the substrate is required. It is the purpose of this project to provide this insight using molecular...

Outline Many mathematical models that describe problems in science and engineering are defined in high dimensional spaces. Examples can be found in a diverse range of application areas such as quantum chemistry, kinetic theory descriptions of materials (including complex fluids), the chemical master equation governing many biological processes (e.g. cell signalling) and models of financial mathematics (e.g. option pricing). The mathematical description of these problems is invariably in terms of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs). For practical problems these systems do not possess analytical solutions and therefore it is necessary to solve them numerically. It is important...

1. Announcement "Sapienza" University of Rome offers 30 three-year-full-time postgraduate PhD positions with fellowship for attaining the degree of "Dottore di Ricerca" (PhD) in the Doctoral Schools listed here: https://www.uniroma1.it/sites/default/files/field_file_allegati/appendix... Each fellowship amounts to EU 19.800,00 per year; this amount includes national insurance contributions (INPS) that fellowship recipients are required to pay. The fellowship does not cover any possible annual entrance fee and does not increase for research periods spent abroad. Mobility is allowed only for a country other than that of origin. The PhD Programme lasts three years. At the end of the first and...
Type: Funding | Location: Poland | Company/Institute: Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange NAWA | Updated: 23/03/2020
Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) is pleased to announce the second edition of the programme for post-doctoral incoming researchers: The Ulam Programme. We would like to invite you to be a part of this unique and valuable experience which will help you to develop your career by intensifying international mobility as well as will allow you to establish scientific cooperation with excellent host institutions in Poland. The Ulam Programme will allow both recognised and promising scientists with at least the doctoral degree, to visit Poland in order to strengthen the scientific potential of Polish entities and to participate in their scientific activities, primarily research...
Type: Funding | Location: Poland | Company/Institute: Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange NAWA | Updated: 23/03/2020
The aim of the Polish Returns Programme is to allow prominent Polish scientists to return to their country and take up employment in Polish higher education institutions, scientific units or research institutes. The Programme will create optimal conditions for returning scientists to conduct world-class scientific research or developmental work in Poland. The funds obtained under the Polish Returns Programme are to ensure salaries for Returning Scientists and allow them to create a Project Group (research team). Polish higher education institutions, scientific units and research institutes will be able to acquire specialists with international experience and knowledge in the field of the...
