In vivo G-Quadruplexes Topologies and Identification of Proteins Partners – G4-TopIPro
G-quadruplex (G4) DNA consists in the formation, from guanine rich nucleic acids, of tetrameric structures resulting from the association, via Hoogsteen type hydrogen bonds, of guanine tetrads and their stacking. Numerous studies demonstrate the important biological role of G4, now considered to be
Search of Oscillations at very short distance with Lithium6 Detector at SCK-CEN BR2 – SoLid
The neutrino is one of the most enigmatic ingredient of the standard model of particle physics. Because of its weak interaction with matter and despite enormous experimental progress, its nature and its fundamental properties remain unknown: Dirac / Majorana, CP violation, absolute mass scale, other
Developing the cellulolytic bacteria Clostridium phytofermentans and Clostridium cellulolyticum as catalysts to convert plant biomass into higher alcohols – Phytocell
Clostridium phytofermentans and Clostridium cellulolyticum could be developed to meet all the requirements for direct transformation of biomass into butanol by Consolidated BioProcessing (CBP). To date, comparatively little research has focused on cellulolytic, anaerobic bacteria as CBP organisms, m
New Atomic Layer Deposition Route for Boron Nitride Thin Films – ALaDiN
Renewable clean energy and environment are two of the most major concerns for the coming decades. Carbon-based nanostructured materials are leading materials due to their outstanding chemical and physical properties. Less investigated hexagonal boron nitride (BN)-based nanostructures such as nanotub
Supply chain design with an environmental performance-sensitive demand – CONCLuDE
The environmental performance of products has become a competitive factor for companies and an important purchasing criterion for customers. However, this environmental performance depends on logistical decisions such as the location/allocation of production sites, the choice of suppliers, the selec
Usage and interaction of synchronous 4D simulation for collaborative decision support in Architecture, Engineering and Construction – 4DCollab
4D modeling (i.e. BIM model + time) enables the construction stages of a building to be simulated. However, the construction industry has yet to integrate this new practice into its work processes. The scientific community has demonstrated, through a number of empirical analyses, that 4D simulation
Solar thermochemical conversion of CO2 and water into fuel using non-stoichiometric oxygen-exchange redox materials – SUNFUEL
The production of synthetic fuels (H2, syngas, liquid fuels) is a major challenge, in particular when produced from clean and novel renewable processes without any fossil resources. The reduction of CO2 emissions requires a strong decrease of fossil energy utilization while developing CO2-free renew
Institut Convergences en Agriculture Numérique
#DigitAg vise à rassembler, animer et structurer les forces scientifiques pluridisciplinaires pour favoriser le développement d’une agriculture numérique responsable en France et dans les pays du Sud en s’appuyant sur 3 piliers: la recherche, l’enseignement et l’i nnovation.
Collaborative Agile Miniaturized Robotics for ultra-precise assembly – COLAMIR
Benefiting from increased flexibility compared to industrial machines, robotics has taken a prominent place in the manufacturing industry, thus reducing the cost of production diversification. Today, however, the low rate of robotization in French SMEs should challenge the robotics community, partic
Multi-channel wavelength-resolved Albedometer for Black Carbon Measurement – MABCaM
This all integrated compact photonic albedometer consists of two main devices : (1) an innovative broadband optical cavity coupled to a high-sensitivity CCD spectrometer to form a BroadBand Cavity enhanced Extinctiometer (BBCE) for wavelength-resolved extinction measurements; (2) a multi-microphone
