The politics of UN agencies’ exit from post-war African contexts – POLEXA
If international operations are not supposed to last over time, their withdrawal, whether in Afghanistan in 2021 or Mali in 2022, often leads to great improvisation and sometimes chaos. While the end of military interventions has received considerable media and academic attention, the issue of the e
Thermogenesis by creatine futile cycling: approaching the molecular mechanism – ThermoCreatine
Brown and beige adipocytes can generate heat from chemical energy, independently of canonical thermogenesis processes. These adipocytes feature a creatine-based adaptive thermogenesis process activated not only after short-term cold response and long-term cold acclimation, but also possibly by diet.
Sustainable Process Design for Catalytic Polymerization to In-Chain Functionalized Polyethylenes – SUPRCAT
Polyethylene is the largest produced plastic material, used in many key technology areas. Its production efficiency is superior to most other plastics in terms of environmental impact. The linear hydrocarbon chains of polyethylene (HDPE) enable crystalline packing and provide excellent mechanical p
Does cell quiescence prevent LOH induced by CRISPR? – CRISPR-SAFE
CRISPR-Cas9 is a breakthrough that has propelled regenerative medicine into a new era. Considerable progress is being made by several ongoing clinical studies using CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease in fields such as immunotherapy, regenerative medicine, and monogenic diseases. Nevertheless, a major concern is t
Interactions between large structures, gravity waves and micro-turbulence – LASWATEX
In 2021, the Nobel Committee for Physics reminded that, in a context of global warming, the modern understanding of the variability of the Earth’s climate is based on the existence of clear separations of processes in terms of space and time scales, whose prediction requires interdisciplinary effort
Do new environmental regulations support emergent agricultural frontiers in Brazil? – SOYLANDIA
In Brazil, agroindustrial expansion has accelerated since the 2000s, with new combinations of monocrops (mainly soybeans) and cattle ranching, despite various instruments of environmental regulation (rural environmental cadastre, deforestation licenses, water licences, etc.). We hypothesize that th
ORAI3 loss drives neuroendocrine transdifferentiation of prostate cancer – AURORA
Calcium is a second messenger involved in various intracellular signaling pathways regulating proliferation, apoptosis, secretion and migration. These calcium signalings require in particular a fine regulation of the exchanges of calcium ions between the extracellular medium and the cytosol ensured
DIpoles on Networks as miNimal modEls of bRain MicrOvascular dySfuncTion – INNERMOST
Blood microcirculation supplies neurons with oxygen and clears their neurotoxic waste through a dense capillary network connected to larger tree-like vessels. This microvascular architecture results in highly heterogeneous blood flow and travel time distributions, whose consequences on brain pathoph
Stable inorganic thin film photovoltaic devices for a sustainable Internet of Things – Siphon
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next technological revolution. 12.2 billion IoT devices were already connected in 2021 and the proliferation rate forecast is very high. Most of these devices are wireless, operate indoors and are powered through a primary battery, whose lifetime is about 8-25 mon
Private Disclosures in Competing Mechanisms – ACMP2023
The proposed project aims at studying a broad class of situations in which multiple designers compete by offering mechanisms to multiple agents, as in the case of platforms competing to attract users, auctioneers competing to attract bidders, or marketplaces competing to attract trading partners to
