The evolution of information use in ecology – EVO-INF-COL
genetically coded. Such a major discovery calls for a general theory of information in a biological context [...] address these questions by studying communication in a sexual selection context and how acquired knowledge [...] that the diversity of the (nongenetic) knowledge of a population surpasses its genetic heritage? We believe
thermoDynamics in Cavity Quantum ElectrodynamIcs – Qu-DICE
designing and realizing a new type of solid-state quantum engine. The engine will consist of a single semi-conducting [...] practical tools to harness thermal noise, turning it into a resource. Heat engines efficiently convert heat produced [...] engines. In these devices, information appears as a physical resource that can be consumed to produce
Optomechanical quantum sensors at room temperature – QuaSeRT
of the devices at room temperature, a crucial requirement for a realistic application scenario as sensors [...] states of a sensor is an important pre-requisite for the quantum revolution, e.g., for implementing a quantum [...] research in cavity optomechanics has recently achieved a major breakthrough: the first observation of quantum
Allostery and conformational dynamics in GPCR signaling – allosig
well as G protein-independent pathways. As a consequence, a given drug can possess distinct intrinsic [...] structures, but these only offer a limited number of static snapshots of a dynamic process. Hence, answering [...] GPCRs exhibit complex signaling behaviors. Indeed, a single receptor can activate more than one G protein
Pancreas and Kidney organogenesis: developmental and disease molecular mechanisms – KiPancreas
Hnf1b null-allele exhibit a normal phenotype, while mice homozygous for a null allele, generated by [...] conditional inactivation, display respectively a more extreme or a partial phenotype compared to that of HN [...] insulin secretion and liver dysfunction as well as a variety of developmental disorders including pancreas
Fine-tuning the germinal centre reaction: understanding the molecular mechanisms for the regulation of B cell responses by TGFß – FiReBird
TGFß and avß8 that simply cannot be proposed a priori through a “classical” hypothesis-driven approach and [...] selection), and 2) class-switch recombination to promote a fitting response. The GC reaction is thus critical [...] diseases. Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFß) is a known modulator of Ab responses, but so far studies
HIgh-index dielectric nanostructures for controlled LIGHT emission and propagation (HiLight) – HiLight
A current challenge in the information and communication society is to provide new high-speed, low-c [...] (Purcell effect), directivity of the emission in a chosen direction, and waveguide coupling for propagation [...] propagation or remote excitation of emitters, ideally on a broadband spectrum. The HiLight project methodology
Violence endogène et portées sociales d'une catastrophe écologique: corps individuels, corps sociaux dans l'aprés Katrina. – Katrina-NOLA

We will [...] conceptualized by John Dewey) and their effect on a series of tensions created by the catastrophe and [...] be imputed in the chain of catastrophic events). A first hypothesis is that under conditions of tech
Experiments on Motivation, Incentives and Rationality – EMIR
monetary incentives can sometimes exert a negligible or even a negative influence on motivation and p [...] these agents to behave as efficiently as possible in a situation where there is imperfect or incomplete [...] - Incentives and competition. If the agents have a better knowledge of their abilities than the principals
How subjective confidence modulates performance and belief: conceptual, developmental, and psychopathological issues – Confidence
