The HI-to-H2 transition in the high redshift Universe – HIH2
The conversion from atomic gas (HI) into molecular gas (H2) in galaxies is a fundamental process deeply linked not only to the onset of star-formation but also to the feeding of active galactic nuclei. This means that this process is key in the evolution of normal galaxies as well as those hosting a
The French Yellow Vests: A Pluridisciplinary Approach to Popular Politicization and Mobilization – GILETSJAUNES
The objective of this project is to shed light on three complementary research questions using empirical data collected during the first months of the mobilisation and during the project's duration: How do the socio-spatial and sociological characteristics of the GJs show a recomposition of working
The EYE, a WINdow to neurovascular coupling – EyeWin
The goal of the EyeWin project is to provide an advanced clinical tool to probe neurovascular coupling in the retina at the micrometer and millisecond scale, so as to analyze NVC through high resolution stimulation and imaging of vascular response biomarkers. The Eyewin project aims therefore to exp
The DESI Lyman-alpha data: first analysis and contraints on neutrinos and Dark Matter – DESI-Lya
With the advent of new-generation optical surveys, a major step forward can be taken on fundamental questions in particle physics and cosmology, none the least being the unknown values of the neutrino masses (Mnu) and the nature of dark matter (DM). The Lyman-alpha (Ly-a) forest is a measurement of
The Costs of Cognition from an Information-Theoretic perspective: experimental validation – CoCogIT
The first objective of the present project is to provide empirical evidence for the link between information cost and cognitive effort and to assess the validity of the local and global limited capacity hypotheses regarding the nature of this link. This issue will be tackled in work package 1 (WP1).
The Behavioral and Computational Nature of Range Dependent Decisions – RANGE
Individual decision-making drives major financial, social, environmental and health outcomes. Most choices are made under uncertainty and require continuous arbitrage. Standard economic theory assumes stable, complete and context-invariant preferences defined on an absolute scale of utility. However
Testing the evolutionary species interactions - abiotic stress hypothesis – E-SIASH
Summarized as the “Species Interactions – Abiotic Stress Hypothesis” (SIASH), theory suggests that abiotic forces set range boundaries under stressful conditions, while biotic interaction are most relevant in benign environments. While central to basic and applied research this hypothesis 1) lacks t
Testing the Ménage à Trois Hypothesis – MATHTEST
The project aims to test the involvement of intracellular Chlamydiales pathogens in the cyanobacterial symbiosis which led to the evolution of photosynthetic eukaryotes. We therefore studied their specific involvement in three metabolic pathways and their importance in the structuring of plant genom
TeraHertz time domain spectrometer for the determination of optical properties of suspended micro and nanoparticles in the air in a controlled environment – STEPSON
The present project proposes to develop and operate a new and innovative TeraHertz (THz) broadband measurement bench in time domain (Time-Domain Spectroscopy, TDS), between 200 GHz and 5 THz, of CRI of suspended micro-nanoparticles in the air in a controlled environment. The use of an algorithm deve
Tenebrescent minerals by in silico Modelling – TeneMod
The photochromism, also called tenebrescence by mineralogists, is the reversible change of colour of a material upon light irradiation. This is a growing research area since this phenomena can be used in several high-tech applications. Two main research axes are developped in that field. The first o
