Geothermal resources of crustal-scale fault zones: exploring new systems for competitive geothermal power production – GERESFAULT
The objective of GERESFAULT is to enhance the amount of energy extracted from the subsurface in France and Europe, by exploring new geothermal systems: crustal fault zones. Usually, geothermal exploration is focused on areas where subsurface temperatures are anomalously high. Here, GERESFAULT focus
Smart Autonomous Microscopy – SAMic
To meet this challenge, we will pursue three objectives: 1) Applicative, by developing two experimental biology applications for which the use of SAMic is mandatory. 2) Technological by designing the smartCam-LEAD (Localized Events Advanced Detector) module. 3) Proof of concept with the developme
cOnception of bioresorbable self-rolled Patchs for the local trEatment of inflammatioN induced in the coloN after irradiation – OPENN
Pelvic cancers are among the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide. Radiotherapy (RT) plays a growing place in the management of malignant pelvic diseases. Even though great advances have been made in RT delivery techniques, radiation exposure of significant volumes of normal bowel persists, i
Implementing FAIR principles for Theia/OZCAR in situ data information system – FairTOIS
The aim of the Theia/OZCAR Information System (IS) is to make all in situ continental surface data visible and easy to access, facilitate their discovery on a single portal, allow their interoperability and foster their citation. The development of the Theia/OZCAR IS started in 2017. It is joint
Molecular and evolutionary principles governing enzyme regioselectivity – dEEPEN
Our project deals with the prediction and design of enzymatic functions. To that end, we study a family of hydroxylases (the flavin monooxygenases, FMOs) which are able to realise their hydroxylation reaction at different positions of the aromatic ring of the ubiquinone (UQ), a molecule that is key
Explainable artificial intelligence for anti-money laundering – XAIforAML
Financial institutions and government authorities want to introduce more advanced AI tools in AML-CFT processes. Financial institutions see AI as a way to reduce costs. Regulators see AI as a way to identify more criminal networks that currently escape prosecution (the director of Europol estimates
Ultra-Rapid Sintering: Multiphysics Simulation, Mechanisms, Control And Stabilization – ULTRARAPIDE
Flash (ultra-rapid) sintering is a new sintering approach allowing sintering in mere seconds. This project addresses the main inherent heating instabilities, microstructural inhomogeneity and regulation issues of this abrupt process. Flash sintering will be applied to advance sintering techniques su
PARAsitoid based DEcision tools for insecticide use reduction against grape and wheat agrosystem pests – PARADE
The present project targets the use of very efficient parasitoids that occur naturally in cereals and grapes. In this project, we will develop decision support tools for these two crops based on the same reasoning: assessing the occurrence of key parasitoids and developing decision support tools to
Ecological consequences of Temperature induced Body size shifts – EcoTeBo
The general objective of EcoTeBo is to assess and understand how temperature and top predator body size reduction affect trophic interactions, community dynamics, and ecosystem functioning. While the body size of the other species within the community level are also likely to be affected by temperat
Glacial--Interglacial variations of the carbon cycle induced by climatic changes in Himalaya – GI-NOAH
The work plan for this project includes: 1) chronological calibration by the use of pollen assemblages and the analysis of oxygen isotopes of foraminifera shells. 2) On the basis of chronological information, sampling and treatment of samples (washing and controlled decarbonation) in view of miner
