Electrochemical pressure impedance spectroscopy for transport characterization in electrochemical cells – EPISTEL
Electrochemical pressure impedance spectroscopy (EPIS) is known to show a high sensitivity towards transport processes in cells with gaseous reactants. For polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), EPIS is expected to allow the observation of mass transport, i.e. gas transport in the gas diff
Ultradispersed metal catalysts for energy applications involving hydrogen – UltraCat
Heterogeneous catalysis is a crucial process for saving and producing energy. It often involves precious metals, the amount of which must be drastically reduced for a sustainable human development. Last-generation electron microscopes have recently enabled the emergence of so-called supported “singl
HOMinin TECHnology Cognition, motricity and behaviour of the first stone-tool makers – HOMTECH
Over the past 20 years, new discoveries and studies have revealed an unexpected archaeological record of increased, an hominin diversity associated with a complex evolutionary history. In this context, understanding past hominin diversity in terms of taxonomy, diet, locomotor skills and cultural beh
Hydrothermal transformation of cellulosic substrates assisted by photocatalysis – PHOTHER
Fossil resources are not inexhaustible and a source of pollution. The objective is then to replace them with one of the most important renewable sources of carbon, the cellulosic part of lignocellulosic biomass, which is inedible. However, nowadays high pressure and temperature and expensive materia
Flexibility and neural dynamics of conscious access – FlexConscious
At the heart of our cognition is a very intriguing divide: even when we are awake, our brain can process external stimulation either consciously (“I have perceived it”) or non-consciously (“I have not perceived anything”). In the past forty years, major advances have been made in the identification
The Integration by Religions of Migrants in Burkina Faso – Relinsert
This project started from questions related to the work of the American anthropologist E.P. Skinner and from several field observations carried out previously by members of the team. In the 1950s, Skinner noted that Moose migrants in Côte d'Ivoire, who were often practicing «traditional« religions w
Manipulation and obsolescence of online information – MOII
The project has two axes. Axis 1: obsolete information. Why do job seekers prefer recent listings, and why do advertisers frequently renew their listings? A plausible explanation for these two phenomena lies in the existence of outdated information on matching markets. There is little doubt about t
Université de Paris
Le but de l'Initiative d'Excellence (IdEx) "Université de Paris" est d'accompagner la création de « Université de Paris » (UP), établissement expérimental issu de la fusion des universités Paris Descartes et Diderot et intégrant l'Institut de physique du globe de Paris (IPGP) comme établissement com
Enzyme platform for the synthesis of chiral aminoalcohols – TRALAMINOL
The TRALAMINOL project addresses the challenges of innovative development of sustainable biotechnological processes for the synthesis of amino alcohols through a multidisciplinary approach. The biocatalytic synthesis of amino alcohols has not yet been systematically explored. Thus, the TRALAMINOL co
Investigating large scale bioreactor effects in microbial application – ScaleApp
Traditional bioprocessing engineering-based scale up procedures cover reactor design and stirrer operation, but not physiological adaptation of the cells to variable environmental conditions prevalent in such technical cultivation systems. This decoupled approach between engineering and microbial ph
