Hominin BipedalismS: Exploration of bipedal gaits in Hominins thanks to Specimen-Specific Functional Morphology – HoBiS
HoBiS is a multidisciplinary research project that aims to better understand one of the most striking characteristics of the human lineage, the habitual bipedality and the diversity of its past forms. It proposes 1) to implement an approach that integrates comparative and experimental biology, paleo
Self-monitoring of language in production – SLIP
By taking into account the complexity of linguistic representations (through various linguistic levels), contexts of monitoring load (varying the tasks) and components of monitoring (internal and external) while assessing simultaneously three hypothesis and using a multi-method approach we expect to
French episcopal acta of the Middle Ages: a multi-media edition and analysis – ACTEPI
1. After gathering the episcopal acta, now widely dispersed, of 17 dioceses (about 8000 acta in total), the first objective is to offer a complete and multi-media critical edition, by diocesan collection. Each one will integrate the «e-Cartae« collection, «Actépi« sub-collection, of the Presses univ
Aluminium, Architecture & Heritage, XX-XXIst centuries – ARCHIPAL
The aim of ARCHIPAL Aluminium, Architecture & Heritage, 20th – 21st Century program is to identify the place of aluminium in the architecture history, to understand its heritage processes and to inventory its presence and its state of conservation in the French built heritage. It will contribute to
Amino Acid Asymmetry – AAAs
Proteins and nucleic acids are functional biopolymers composed of L-amino acids and D ribose subunits that break chiral symmetry. The origin of the symmetry-breaking event is unknown. The photochemistry model by which circularly polarized light (cpl) can induce an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) in organ
Cultural Scenes, Ambiances and Urban Change – SCAENA
Cultural and creative activities are at the heart of the profound changes that are currently affecting urban societies, their territories and their development. It challenges public policies as they constitute a powerful vector of innovation, resilience of industrial territories, the production of s
Mode of action of biosourced phytostimulants on a multi-stress signalling pathway – BioPhyt
Phytostimulants stimulate plant growth at low doses. Generally, it is not known how phytostimulants act on plants. Knowing their mode of action could greatly help to use them more rationally and to assess their harmlessness to the environment. The fact that STOP1 and ALMT1 are conserved in plant s
BodY-ControllEd robotic ProSthetic for arm amputees – BYCEPS
The objective of BYCEPS project is thus to develop a biomimetic upper-limb prosthesis that offers a fine, natural and simultaneous control of its movements acting in symbiosis with the body of its wearer, thus allowing transhumeral amputees to regain more capacities and greater autonomy, without hav
HYDrothermal sIntering : a Low temperature process for the densIfication of Ceramics – HYDILIC
The development of high-performance ceramics is highly dependent on the sintering processes used. The challenge is to enable densification at low temperature in order to overcome current technological barriers (low-cost and energy-saving process; sintering of metastable, low decomposition temperatur
Fluorinated Ligands Approach for the Inhibition of Rotamases – F-LAIR
The incorporation of fluorine atoms into biomolecules has gained a considerable interest as they are known to modulate the properties of pharmaceuticals. Fluorine can often favorably and predictably alter the biophysical and chemical properties, such as lipophilicity, chemical stability, metabolic
