high strain RAte, TEmperature and Small-scale mechanical properties of materials – RATES
The RATES project aims to develop a unique expertise on a national scale (and almost unique in the world) on the measurement/modeling of the behavior of materials at the scale of a few microns (scale of surface layers, coatings, areas affected by new manufacturing processes) at very high strain rates and very high temperatures.
An inter- and transdisciplinary project to study collaborations in sustainability science – COLLAB2
Although the growth of collaborations is a major current trend in the life sciences, little is known about how they influence the working practices of researchers and their partners. <br />COLLAB² aims to provide a broad and in-depth view of these collaborations, based on a study of three structures where they play a major role: «zones ateliers« (ZA), human-environment observatories (OHM) and biosphere reserves (BR).
IntpTN3, a unique RecA-independent homology-directed recombinase: mechanism, structure, partners and applications – IntpTN3
(1) Characterization of the enzymatic activity of homologous recombination in vitro of hybrid enzymes. (2) Isolation and characterization of potential protein partners of these enzymes. (3) Use of these enzymes in homologous intact DNA recognition assays. (4) Resolution of the three-dimensional structure of these enzymes.
S5: Synchronous Slow Slip & Seismic Swarm – S_5
Catching, modelling and understanding Slow Slip and Seismic Swarms along the Andean subduction in Ecuador, Peru and Chile
A new biphasic microgel as lipoxin delivery system for tissue engineering – BILIPOX
We hypothesize that exogenous provision of LXA4 could dampen excessive inflammation in pulpitis and peridontitis. The specific goal of this project is to evaluate the potential benefits of a new Biphasic Microgel (BPMG) as lipoxin A4 (LXA4) delivery system. This functionalized BPMG aims both to modulate inflammation and to promote tissue repair or regeneration in pulpitis and periodontitis
Propositional Reasoning for Large-Scale Optimization. Application to Clean Energy Mobility Issues – Massal'IA
Propositional reasoning has been already successfully used in real optimization. However, the state of the art does not allow to treat more complex information. This proposal aims at obtaining significant advances in automatic reasoning and large-scale optimization by combining propositional reasoning (SAT and Max-SAT) and machine learning, by taking into account complex information with incomplete and uncertain data that are evolving over time.
Impact of a school-based autism anti-stigma intervention: the IDEAL program – IDEAL
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social communication and the presence of restricted interests and stereotyped behaviors, with a current prevalence estimated at around 1 in 100 children. Today, more and more children with ASD have access to schooling (National Disability Conference, 2016). However, the challenge of inclusive schooling is still far from being met.
Biophysics of microalgae flotation – FLOTALG
Development of a novel flotation method for microalgae harvesting
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.
Surface and volume modulation of fast deforming cells and organelles – SurVol
Cells are often described as almost spherical objects. However, the dense environment of the tissues keeps them away from this simple shape. Cells can undergo rapid deformation as they migrate through dense tissue and as they move through blood capillaries. In this project, we propose to study the large deformations of cells, the associated responses and their importance for the migration of immune cells.
