Adaptive Stereovision Systems in Man, Monkey and Machine – 3D3M
Numerous works have defended the hypothesis that the visual system of primates adapts its limited resources to primarily process the most frequent properties in the environment. This so-called «efficient« coding would make it possible to compactly represent the properties of the visual scene at the
High-rise living and the inclusive city (HIGHRISE) – HIGHRISE
The High-Rise project initially wished to analyze the capacity that remained to produce an inclusive city in the context of accelerating verticalization of today's metropolises. Most of the new vertical programs are indeed residential, with major consequences on the daily life of urban dwellers. H
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
Entrainment and Mixing of heterogeneous fluids in COnfined COunter-flow Reactor – EMCO2Re
Electric power generation is one of the major issues in the context of eco-responsible economic developments. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, by 2040, natural gas (for gas turbines) and renewables would be the top two fuel types for electricity generation. Natural gas and renewables woul
Farm value and farm transfer: perspectives from economics and sociology – FARM_VALUE
The project’s objective is to contribute to scientific knowledge and to provide new perspectives to farm stakeholders and policy-makers on farm transfers, focusing specifically on the role of the value of the farm in this process. The project aims at carrying for the first time in the literature a t
Bio-olfacticides: More Food and less pesticides in insect control – DEMETER
Noctuids are some of the most devastating pests. Many behaviors involved in the damage caused to crops (reproduction, recognition and choice of the host plant and oviposition sites, etc.) are closely linked to the olfactory capacities of these insects. This sensory modality thus appears as a privile
Stellar Evolution with Rapid Rotation – ESRR
The goal of this project is the construction of stellar models able to manage both rapid rotation and secular time evolution, with a parallel development of tools useful for spectroscopy, interferometry and seismology allowing the full exploitation of the data available on these stars. It aim
Elaboration of Functionalized Matrices for Uses in Skin Wound Healing and Regeneration – Healskin
Healskin is a collaborative program with complementary expertise conducted by three academic/clinical research teams and a private company, Silab. Our goal is to elaborate and develop natural and innovating biomaterials for tissue regeneration and wound healing. This new technology is based on the i
Bioinspired chitosan cardiac patches: assemblies with the secretome of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for cardiac tissue regeneration – MYOCHITO
Myocardial infarction is one of the most deadly cardiovascular diseases in the world and in France, and is considered as one of the major pathologies of the 21st century. It occurs when the heart is no longer sufficiently supplied with oxygen by the blood, causing the death of the damaged cells. Ven
Development of atmospheric plasma Enhanced SPatial ATomiC layer deposition (SALD) for application to silicon Heterojunction solar cells – DESPATCH
Si solar cells are the main photovoltaic technology being used nowadays. While efficiencies reached are approaching the theoretic maximum, cost is still an issue to be fully competitive with fossil fuels. A new technology called Silicon Heterojunction Solar (HET) Cells has been developed in which th
