Projet Collectif "Science Avec et Pour la Société" – SAPSCOTEDAZUR22
Université Côte d'Azur will be the lead institution for the collective ANR SAPS Côte d'Azur project, alongside four partners: the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement (INRAE), the Institut Nation
Physical and Intrinsic Security of Embedded Neural Networks – PICTURE
Today, a major challenge in Machine Learning (ML) is edge-deployed models and more particularly neural networks in a large variety of embedded platforms with high interests shown on porting deep neural networks (DNN) for inference purpose. Many reasons explain the direct use of neural networks on ed
Innovative sustainable organic sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum L.)-based cropping systems to boost agrobiodiversity, profitability, circularity, and resilience to climate changes in Mediterranean small farms – SEA FENNEL4MED
The project objective deals with the introduction of Mediterranean sea fennel (C. maritimum L) germplasm well adapted to climate change and Mediterranean conditions (water shortage, low soil fertility, high salinity) for the development of new sustainable organic cropping systems, able to increase t
Treatment of fake news and informational vagueness: a hybrid approach between deep learning and symbolic AI – HYBRINFOX
The HYBRINFOX project aims to contribute to the fight against online misinformation by studying and developing possible synergies between symbolic AI and deep learning approaches for the detection of fake news (aka. infox). The main lever is the identification of vague information, likely to introdu
Modeling of street trees for urban micro-climatology – TIR4sTREEt
Transpiration is a physiological phenomenon whereby a tree emits water into the air in gaseous form, via the stomata of its leaves, to ensure photosynthesis and, at the same time, regulate its temperature. Transpiration also activates the circulation of sap from the roots to all the plant's organs.
Massive black hole mergers: light and gravitational waves – MBH_Waves
Gravitational waves from massive black holes (MBHs), 1e4-1e9 solar masses, are a new frontier that Pulsar Timing Arrays and LISA are opening to us: the first hint of the stochastic background from MBH binaries has been revealed this year by NANOGrav. MBH binaries can also be detected electromagnetic
Electroleaching-Electrodeposition For recovery of Precious metals from electrical / electronic equipments – EE4Precious
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEE), and especially Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), represent a secondary resource rich in precious metals (PM). So-called “rich” PCB (laptops, smartphones, tablets, data centers…) contain typically 50-100 ppm of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), and 50-500 ppm
Boosting technologies of orphan legumes towards resilient farming systems in the Greater Mediterranean Region: from bench to open field – BENEFIT-Med
The current climate change scenario predicts that global warming will have a dramatic impact on the Mediterranean basin, posing additional threats to the sustainability of current farming systems. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased food insecurity. BENEFIT-Med will pr
Novel Fungal Lipids AMinoacylation Systems – N-FLAMS
We recently showed that ergosterol (Erg), a major sterol in fungal membranes, can be aminoacylated by an enzyme we discovered: Ergosterol Aspartate synthase (ErdS). This enzyme aminoacylates the 3’OH of Erg with aspartate (Asp) yielding ergosteryl-aspartate (Erg-Asp). We also discovered a second pro
PhotobiofilmExplorer – PhotobiofilmExplorer
The first objective of this project is to validate our hypothesis of resistance associated with the production of allelopathic substances. The second is to characterise and produce these new bio-compounds that can be used for human and animal health. Our main targets are antibiotics, but other activ
