The world&#8217;s oil fields are very different from a geological perspective, and we understand very little of the surface chemistry that takes place in them. Sometimes the minerals trap the oil in the ground, sometimes they don\u2019t. The projects&#8217; purpose are to shed light on this by using modern scientific methods of analysis. BP&#8217;s interest in the project is that the research findings might be used to retrieve more oil from existing fields. The UCPH interest is that it explores new areas in an analytical, chemical and geological sense.<\/p>\n<p>The University Post has previously written about donations from BP which can reveal the world&#8217;s earliest life forms in the article here. It was funding from BP, that enabled UCPH chemistry associate professor Tue Hassenkam to buy a NanoNR2 &#8211; a combined atomic force microscope and infrared spectroscope &#8211; which he could use in a completely different context when he analysed the millions-of-years-old rocks in Greenland which confirmed geology professor Minik Rosing\u2019s dating of the earliest life on Earth.<\/p>\n<h1>Arla Foods &#8211; DKK 26.5 million<\/h1>\n<p><em>Supports 23 projects, including some named \u2018Pushing the limit in cheese manufacture\u2019, \u2018A pinch of salt\u2019 and \u201cIs there room for butter in a healthy diet?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The PhD thesis,\u201cIs there room for butter in a healthy diet?\u201d investigates the effects of various types of dairy products on cardiovascular diseases and Type 2 diabetes with focus on butter and milk.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the experiments, the researcher studied the effect of a moderate intake of butter compared with an intake of olive oil. In another experiment, the researcher compared the effect of a daily intake of 0.5 litres of full and skimmed milk. In a final experiment, the researcher compared the effect of drinking one litre semi-skimmed milk on a daily basis with a corresponding intake of soft drinks with sugar.<\/p>\n<p>The results support the current dietary recommendations of prioritising intake of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g. olive oil or rapeseed oil) instead of butter to prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, there is room for a moderate intake of butter in a healthy diet among people with normal cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n<p>However, the researcher found no evidence for the current dietary recommendations that healthy people of normal weight should choose low-fat dairy products. And the PhD thesis concludes that whole milk and semi-skimmed milk can be included on an equal footing with skimmed milk in a healthy diet.<\/p>\n<h1>The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) &#8211; DKK 8.3 million<\/h1>\n<p><em>Supports 2 projects, including ARO-Superconducting qubits.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The project focuses on topics relating to professor Charles Marcus&#8217; activities to create\/develop quantum electronics (Quantum Devices).

The world&#8217;s oil fields are very different from a geological perspective, and we understand very little of the surface chemistry that takes place in them. Sometimes the minerals trap the oil in the ground, sometimes they don\u2019t. The projects&#8217; purpose are to shed light on this by using modern scientific methods of analysis. BP&#8217;s interest in the project is that the research findings might be used to retrieve more oil from existing fields. The UCPH interest is that it explores new areas in an analytical, chemical and geological sense.<\/p>\n<p>The University Post has previously written about donations from BP which can reveal the world&#8217;s earliest life forms in the article here. It was funding from BP, that enabled UCPH chemistry associate professor Tue Hassenkam to buy a NanoNR2 &#8211; a combined atomic force microscope and infrared spectroscope &#8211; which he could use in a completely different context when he analysed the millions-of-years-old rocks in Greenland which confirmed geology professor Minik Rosing\u2019s dating of the earliest life on Earth.<\/p>\n<h1>Arla Foods &#8211; DKK 26.5 million<\/h1>\n<p><em>Supports 23 projects, including some named \u2018Pushing the limit in cheese manufacture\u2019, \u2018A pinch of salt\u2019 and \u201cIs there room for butter in a healthy diet?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The PhD thesis,\u201cIs there room for butter in a healthy diet?\u201d investigates the effects of various types of dairy products on cardiovascular diseases and Type 2 diabetes with focus on butter and milk.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the experiments, the researcher studied the effect of a moderate intake of butter compared with an intake of olive oil. In another experiment, the researcher compared the effect of a daily intake of 0.5 litres of full and skimmed milk. In a final experiment, the researcher compared the effect of drinking one litre semi-skimmed milk on a daily basis with a corresponding intake of soft drinks with sugar.<\/p>\n<p>The results support the current dietary recommendations of prioritising intake of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g. olive oil or rapeseed oil) instead of butter to prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, there is room for a moderate intake of butter in a healthy diet among people with normal cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n<p>However, the researcher found no evidence for the current dietary recommendations that healthy people of normal weight should choose low-fat dairy products. And the PhD thesis concludes that whole milk and semi-skimmed milk can be included on an equal footing with skimmed milk in a healthy diet.<\/p>\n<h1>The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) &#8211; DKK 8.3 million<\/h1>\n<p><em>Supports 2 projects, including ARO-Superconducting qubits.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The project focuses on topics relating to professor Charles Marcus&#8217; activities to create\/develop quantum electronics (Quantum Devices).
