Thermomorphic Polyethylene-Supported Organocatalysts for the Valorization of Biomass and CO2 – ThermoPESO
With the depletion of the fossil carbon reserve and the need to limit emissions of greenhouse gases, the utilization of renewable biomass as a feedstock has become a necessity in the long term and a real challenge for chemists and biochemists. However, the use of the biomass implies that many techno
Thermogenesis by creatine futile cycling: approaching the molecular mechanism – ThermoCreatine
Brown and beige adipocytes can generate heat from chemical energy, independently of canonical thermogenesis processes. These adipocytes feature a creatine-based adaptive thermogenesis process activated not only after short-term cold response and long-term cold acclimation, but also possibly by diet.
Thermochemical Study of Wildfire Propagation – TSWP
Wildfires are a growing issue, especially during periods of drought in areas with Mediterranean climate where uncontrollable fires are observed such as megafires, too large and strong to be confined, and eruptive fires, too fast and unpredictable to be able to fight. There are several firefighting c
Thermal Deformations of Concrete: predictive modeling for tailored design and adaptation – THEDESCO
Critical questions regarding the thermal behavior of cement-based materials remain unanswered. In particular, the physical origins of the following aspects are still to be addressed: 1. Concerning the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), cement-based materials exhibit at least two non-trivial be
The workers' socio-cultural worlds in the retail's logistic: geographically and socially disseminated ? A visual and cross-national ethnography in the world cities' backstages – WORKLOG
Logistics hide behind every shelf of the supermarket, it is involved with each click of the mouse validating the cart of an online shopping site, it materializes in the millions of packages delivered every day at the doors of companies. If we can hardly imagine the world unfolding behind the scenes
The vestibular system: a hidden sense for a core sense of self – VESTISELF
The VESTISELF Project aims at advancing the rather recently initiated development of the interdisciplinary research field of cognitive vestibular neuroscience, by systematically linking basic human vestibular physiology to the cognitive psychology of the self. - Identification of factors favoring de
The practice of sustainable mobility in Latin American cities: a comparative study of Bogotá (Colombia) and Lima (Peru) – MODURAL
The project examines the sustainability of commuting to work and to places of study in two Latin American metropolises (Bogotá and Lima). The latter bring together 10 million inhabitants and are marked by strong socio-residential segregation and a growth model that favours sprawl on the outskirts ra
The politics of UN agencies’ exit from post-war African contexts – POLEXA
If international operations are not supposed to last over time, their withdrawal, whether in Afghanistan in 2021 or Mali in 2022, often leads to great improvisation and sometimes chaos. While the end of military interventions has received considerable media and academic attention, the issue of the e
The microbiome-gut-brain axis in Autism Spectrum Disorder – MICROBIAUTISM
Microbioautism have the following aims: 1) Determine in mice the impact of fecal supernatant of ASD patients (FS-ASD) on gut and brain functions and associated cellular and molecular changes. 2) Identify the role of the secondary bile acids, desoxycholic acid (DCA), as a putative candidate in gut an
The memory of riverine sediments used to predict the environmental impact of new technologies – TRAJECTOIRE
Le projet TRAJECTOIRE vise à établir, aux exutoires des grands bassins versants français (Rhône, Loire, Seine, Garonne, Rhin, Meuse, Moselle), les trajectoires des contaminants apportés par l'Homme. Il s'agit d'étudier leur parcours, depuis leur introduction dans l'environnement, jusqu'à leur présen
