Active fault systems at an incipient plate boundary in the Alboran Sea – ALBANEO
Earthquakes are the natural hazard with greatest impact on the world's populations, yet predicting when and where they will occur remains a key challenge. This is because earthquake triggering, and the consequent seismic and tsunami hazard potential, depends on the interplay of a range of regional a
Adaptation mechanisms in food-fermenting Penicillium fungi – FUNGADAPT
Studying adaptive divergence, a key process in evolutionary biology, is essential for understanding the adaptation of organisms to their environment and how biodiversity arises. Domestication is a good model for studying adaptive divergence, as it involves strong and recent selection for known trait
Adapting linguistic representations during social interactions: a dynamic view of spoken human communication – REaDY-SPOK
The project seeks to address the question of how communication shapes people’s mental representations and whether people’s states of mind become increasingly similar as they interact due to linguistic representation adaptation. The purpose of the project is to examine whether spoken human communicat
Adaptive Characteristic Mapping Method for the Euler Equations – CM2E
We develop a numerical method for transport dominted problems with extreme resolution capabilities using the characteristic flow map. extremely high resolution capabilities of the scheme obtained by decomposing the flow map and appropriate remapping X.-Y. Yin, K. Schneider and J.-C. Nave. A Charac
Adaptive Stereovision Systems in Man, Monkey and Machine – 3D3M
Numerous works have defended the hypothesis that the visual system of primates adapts its limited resources to primarily process the most frequent properties in the environment. This so-called «efficient« coding would make it possible to compactly represent the properties of the visual scene at the
Additive Manufacturing Process Industrialisation – Indus-ADDI
The transition from proof of concept to industrialization of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes is not a smooth ride. Additive manufacturing is a new process that offers significant potential in the manufacture of highly functional parts. Numerous research studies have demonstrated the functional
Advanced Studies on Language Complexity
ASLAN began in Sept. 2011 and reached full speed in early 2014. All intended goals were confirmed by the midterm evaluation led by the ANR. This successful trajectory reinforced our ambition in terms of impact and extension of scope (2016-2019). RESEARCH activities have covered intended scientific d
Advanced magnetocaloric materials for adiabatic refrigeration – Matadire
The existing ADR technologies utilize commercially available paramagnetic salts that are efficient at low temperatures 0.1-0.2K. To develop magnetic refrigeration into a competitive cooling technique for a wide temperature range 0.1-4K we performed detailed experimental and theoretical investigation
Aeroclipper Cyclone Intensity Observation – MICA
Tropical cyclones are a major threat for many countries. They generate strong winds and deadly floods that damage buildings and infrastructure and severely disrupt civil and military organization. A precise forecast of the trajectory and intensity of tropical cyclones makes it possible to take the n
Aerosol - Cloud interactions in contrasted Marine Environments – ACME
A realistic quantification of the spatiotemporal evolution of ice particles in clouds remains one of the fundamental problems in atmospheric sciences. There are many questions regarding how ice are nucleated and, in particular, why ice particles concentrations often exceed the ice-nucleating particl
