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
Statistical Regionalization Models Intercomparisons and Hydrological Impacts Project – StaRMIP
The aim of this project is to study the uncertainties of statistical regionalization (downscaling) of precipitation (PR) and temperature (T) at high resolution (HR) in the European region (as defined in Euro-CORDEX) and their hydrological impacts in the Mediterranean region. Indeed, this region has
Stable inorganic thin film photovoltaic devices for a sustainable Internet of Things – Siphon
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next technological revolution. 12.2 billion IoT devices were already connected in 2021 and the proliferation rate forecast is very high. Most of these devices are wireless, operate indoors and are powered through a primary battery, whose lifetime is about 8-25 mon
Stabilization process in marine surface robotics inspired by swimming snakes – SSSNAEQ
In order to develop a truly bio-inspired approach, the strength of SSSNAEQ lies in a multi-disciplinary study at the intersection of biology, physics and robotics. The scientific challenge here is to develop new models of fluid-structure interactions at the surface of a fluid, concise enough to
Spin and Valley Dynamics in 2D van der Waals Materials – 2D-vdW-Spin
The physical properties of atomic monolayers are often very different from those of their parent bulk materials. Prime examples are graphene and monolayers of MoS2, as their ultimate thinness makes them extremely promising for applications in electronics and optics. At the same time, they give acces
Sphingosine-1-phosphate Signaling in the Peripheral Vasculature. – SphiPerVasc
In three work packages we shall address: 1) The capacity of luminal and vessel wall produced S1P and S1P receptors to support myogenic tone and flow-mediated dilation of resistance arteries as well as total renal vascular resistance. 2) The sources of S1P that sustain endothelial S1PR1 activation
Sphingolipids as crucial links between COVID-19 and neurodegeneration – GSLSALSCOV
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) synthesized in the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum are incredibly diverse but are essential for membranes, lipid rafts, the glycocalyx, lysosomal function; small changes can have major effects, but their immense diversity the sugar and lipid moieties poses difficulties in a
Speed-up parallel programing with broadcast communications based on hybrid radio network on chip – RAKES
The de facto way of programming multi/manycore chips assumes that the memory is shared, and the hardware support for that is cache coherence throughout the memory hierarchy. The question of enabling the scaling of the protocol needed to ensure coherence is recurrent, because it requires to broadcast
Spectral Superdiffusive Phonon Sensor – SPiDER-man
Three challenging tasks shall tackle several scientific issues, especially in the development and the calibration of the SPSS. Among them, there is the handling of a TDTR heterodyne device to work at frequencies up to 10 THz, where thermal wave propagation dominates, keeping low signal to noise rati
Space-based Observations of the ice Sheets: Ice mass changes evaluated from 2013 to present. – SOSIce
The advent of spaceborne remote sensing first allowed the collection of large amounts of data over remote and isolated places such as the ice-sheets. For the first time, continent-wide mappings have enabled a more precise description of the dynamical and geometrical structure of the ice-sheets and h
