Assessing Resilience of DEep COrals – ARDECO
Like tropical coral reefs, cold-water coral (CWC) reefs form complex habitats providing important ecosystem services. But Cold Water Corals also have to cope with ocean warming and acidification, which could significantly reduce their fundamental niche if they are unable to adapt.
Intrinsically-Robust and Control-Aware Motion Planning for Robots in Real-World Conditions – CAMP
The ambition and scientific novelty of CAMP is to develop a general and unified “intrinsically-robust and control-aware motion planning framework” and to demonstrate the applicability of this new framework to real robots in real-world challenging tasks.
Aerosol-Cloud Interactions: the role of organic compounds on cloud droplet activation – ORACLE
ORACLE aims to fundamentally improve the understanding of the role organics play in CCN activation through combined experimental and modelling work. The main objectives are:<br />- First, to investigate the evolution of surface tension in a growing solution droplet<br />- Second, to elucidate the effect of co-condensation on particle growth and surface tension
Role of Piezo1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension – HTAP
In pulmonary hypertension (PH), both an increase in arterial reactivity and a structural remodeling, causing a thickening of the muscular medial layer of small pulmonary arteries (PAs), are implicated in the etiology of the disease.Several arguments point to an important role for mechanical stress in the stimulation of PA smooth muscle cells (SMCs) proliferation. We hypothesize that opening of the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in PA SMCs is implicated in experimental and human PAH.
Cracking the role of RFRP3 in seasonal breeding with genome editing. – GMO-Phen
Is the RFRP3 peptide really involved in the central control of seasonal reproduction in sheep and hamsters? Is it possible that these neurons are responsible for the opposite timing of reproduction (autumn for the sheep, spring for the hamster) in these species?
Rey’s Ornament Image investigation – ROIi
Authenticating ornaments through computer vision: the case of Marc Michel Rey
Simulations and Observations of Uranus and Neptune atmospheric Dynamics – SOUND
Simulations and observations of Uranus' and Neptune's atmospheres to understand their atmospheric dynamics and climate.
Gymnasia and Athletic Culture in Western and Southern Asia Minor in the Hellenistic and Roman period – GymnAsia
Agonistic Cultures in Western and Southern Asia Minor in the Hellenistic and Imperial Periods
Is the gut microbiota a key driver of social evolution in insects? – MicroSoc
Why and how animal social life emerged from solitary ancestors remains a long-standing question in biology. This project tests the hypothesis that social evolution is driven not only by benefits to group members but also by advantages gained by the microbes they host.
Identification of patients at risk of torsade de pointes, a life-threatening arrhythmia, using ECGs and deep learning – DeepECG4U
Some cardiovascular diseases (congenital long QT syndrome, cLQTS) or drug-induced long QT syndrome (diLQTS), can cause Torsade de Pointes (TdP), a life-threatening arrhythmia. On the ECG, the QT interval is prolonged, but the waveforms have specificities, thus being poorly predictive of TdP. New predictive approaches are needed to improve physician assessment and reduce the risk of TdP events.
