Steroidogenomics analysis of adrenal steroid excess – STEROMICS
The morbidity and mortality associated with excess adrenal steroids is significant in the absence of treatment.Getting a better understanding of the mechanisms of these disturbances would allow to manage them more effectively and generally to better understand frequent pathologies in which disturban
Cultural policies, local heritage and collaborative approaches in Eastern Insulindia – POPEI-coll
The project focuses on two societies in Eastern Insulinde (Atauro, East Timor; and Tanjung Bunga, Flores, Indonesia), where different cultural policies are expressed, but which in both cases fail to reflect the heritage visions of the populations. The main objective is to analyse, through an interdi
Everyday trade unionism in Africa – SyndiQuAf
The project «Syndicalisme au quotidien en Afrique« (Syndicaf) brings together anthropologists, historians and politicians who will study trade unionism since the end of the colonial period in three countries: Burkina Faso, Senegal and Sudan. A little-studied subject, trade unionism nevertheless c
Time in the Wild: Mastering time during real world navigation – WildTimes
Scientific Objective & Working Hypotheses 1: Distortions of subjective time perception as a function of the moments in real-time transportation. Our first objective will be dedicated to survey the un-/under-explored real-life experience of time distortions. Scientific Objective & Working Hypothese
Combining Magnetic Spectroscopy and Modern Multireference Methods to Understand the Properties of Bio-Inspired and Enzymatic Multicopper Systems – CUBISM
Copper active sites play central biological roles, including electron transfer, dioxygen binding, activation and reduction, as well as denitrification processes. Enzymatic copper centers are extremely diverse in geometric and electronic structure, and range from mononuclear sites to dinuclear, trinu
Multiscale modelling of solvent phases for solvent extraction – MULTISEPAR
The recycling of rare earths is all the more important as their extraction is currently mainly carried out by a single country, at a high environmental cost. Liquid-liquid extraction enables these metals to be recycled by separating them selectively. Certain metallic elements, in ionic form, are tra
Microstructure design and machining of a beta metastable titanium alloy – DEMUTI
The optimization of machining processes has been the subject, over the last decades, of technological developments aimed at improving the machinability of titanium alloys and thus controlling the cost of machining. However, it remains perfectible for improvement, especially when metastable phases ap
Subsea Water Isotope Sensors: A novel tool for continuous and in-situ analysis – SWIS
Main Objectives: Developping a novel instrument for in situ continous measurements of dD and d18O of water. An novel dedicated optical spectrometer will be developped and coupled to a membrane based extraction system. Main issues araised: 1) The alignment of the optical cavity was not as easy a
ROBOVOX - Robust Vocal Identification for Mobile Security Robots – ROBOVOX
This project is dedicated to robust voice identification for mobile security robots and offers solutions integrating supportive modalities for voice recognition, taking advantage of the human-robot interaction context. RAS RAS 1. Mohammad Mohammadamini, Driss Matrouf, Paul-Gauthier Noé. Denoising x-
PhasE PolyPhenism Emergence and associated Risks – PEPPER
Phase polyphenism has been hypothesized as an evolutionary response to cannibalism avoidance. Group movement was also proposed as an adaptation to predation risk. Alternatively, we propose that phase polyphenism could emerge as a response to variable conditions of resource, mainly vegetation. The
