Identifying diatom regulatory long noncoding (lnc)RNAs for increased biomass production for biorefinery applications – DiaLincs
Diatoms are very promising organisms for biofuel production since they can produce high quantities of lipids when nutrient depleted. We hypothesize that diatom lncRNAs expressed under nutrient stress are likely to be major players in the pathways regulating energy and biomass production which is supported by preliminary data.
REal-GAs effects on Loss mechanisms of ORC turbine flows – REGAL-ORC
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power systems offer a great potential for waste heat recovery and environmental-friendly power generation but relatively little is known regarding the impact of real-gas effects on loss mechanisms in ORC turbine expanders. A further increase of ORC turbine efficiencies can only be achieved if relevant non-ideal compressible fluid dynamical phenomena are better understood and modeled.
BRIDging the environment(al) Gap: promising catalyst materials to performant fuel cells Electrodes – BRIDGE
The present project aims at identifying and unlocking obstacles limiting the implementation of promising O2 reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst materials, identified after fundamental and model investigations in well-controlled laboratory conditions, into efficient PEMFC cathodes.
Gender and health inequalities in CONSTANCES: social determinants of the male-female differences in healthy ageing – GINCO
Social determinants of healthy ageing in women and men<br /><br />The GINCO project focuses on the social determinants at the intersection of the professional, social and family spheres. Using data from the CONSTANCES cohort, it is based on a life-course approach to health determinants. Its aim is to suggest levers for action, particularly through public policies, to improve the chances of ageing in good health and reduce inequalities.
Hydrogen molecular ions for precision physics – HYMPE
Molecular hydrogen ions H2+ or HD+ are sufficiently simple quantum systems to allow comparisons between theory and experiment at an extraordinary level of accuracy. This makes possible a better determination of some fundamental constants, but also the search for new effects beyond the standard model of particle physics.
Nanostructured Materials for Advanced Na Solid-sTate battERies – Na-MASTER
The main objective of this project is to develop by the synergic effect of both experiments and theory a full Sodium All Solid-State Battery (Na-ASSB) with superior performances in order to new solutions for electrochemical energy storage devices (cheaper, safzer, ...)
How does Cell-to-Cell Communication regulate Fruit Growth ? – 3C-FruitGrowth
Cell division is a major process in plant growth and helps define the number of cells in a developing organ, thus influencing its final size. The mechanism that temporally and spatially controls cell division during growth is still unknown, but probably involves cell-to-cell communication, which is mediated by wall- and membrane-spanning channels called plasmodesmata (PDs), providing signal mobility.
Effect of Titanium dioxide dietary particles on host-gut microbiota interactions: role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor and impact on the development of metabolic disorders and colon cancer. – TitADiet
Particles of TiO2 are used as colorant (additive E171) in several processed food. The aim of TitADiet is to explore the consequences of chronic oral exposure to E171 in the occurrence and/or the aggravation of metabolic disorders and intestinal tumor lesions. A link with intestinal dysbiosis and its consequences on the intestine, immunity and metabolism will be evaluated.
Research on the Impacts of Wind Turbine Noise on Humans: sound, perception, health – RIBEolh
Wind energy is expanding rapidly in France as elsewhere in the world, but the population is worried about the health impacts of wind turbine noise. The annoyance is often described as resulting from infrasounds (IS) whereas the acoustic pressures of IS emitted by wind turbines would be below the perception thresholds. However, the inaudibility of IS does not exclude their action on the inner ear or the central nervous system.
