Description of the project goal and tasks
The idea of the project COACCEL is to develop a new method and a measurement system for assessing the quality and/or deterioration of the joints of building structures. The method is based on two basic approaches:
1) Mathematical analysis of the correlations of coaxial vibrations of the joined structural elements in six degrees of freedom (three of them are linear accelerations and other three ones are angular accelerations) using 3-D accelerometers and 3-D gyroscopes
2) Analysis of the natural frequencies of mechanical oscillations of the constituent elements. The project is a synergy of the branches of construction engineering, electronics, sensors and signal processing. Therefore, to realize the project, the interaction between the Riga Technical University and the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science is foreseen.

Aim of the project: Exoelectron emission from inorganic solid nanolayers for dosimetry of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
The project was carried out between 2005 and 2007.
Funded by the grant of the Latvian Council of Science 04.1175
Head of the project: prof. Gennādijs Sagalovičs
Aim of the project: The project is logical continuation of the previous project No.01.0611. The developed technique of exoelectron emission defectoscopy based on calculations of energy parameters of surface of components makes it possible to optimize wide range of processes for manufacturing of the components, thereby achieving improvements in safety parameters.

Aim of the project: Development and improvement of exoelectron spectroscopy technique for study of changes in human bones over centuries with the emphasis on pathological changes that were formed during human life. The bones from XIII – XVI centuries found during archaeological excavations in the garden of Riga Cathedral as well as bones from XIX – XX centuries were studied.
The project was carried out between 2004 and 2006.
