Motile Outbreaks: Situating Ebola Resurgence in Human Mobilities in Guinea and the DRC – MOUT.
The main objective of our project is to explore the resurgence of Ebola outbreaks in Guinea in 2021 and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2021 by studying human motilities. These resurgences are exceptional events within the exceptional history of deadly infectious disease outbreaks. They are
Farms And Networks Mobilised Together In Agri-Food Systems Transformation – FERMENTS Agri-Alimentaires II
Many scientific studies, even if they differ in their findings and recommendations, constantly refer to the need for transition in agricultural and food systems in order to meet the very contemporary challenges. Facing these challenges, a number of initiatives, often resulting from the combined acti
Interferences in Design Methodology for High-performance Multi-Core Platforms – InterMCore
When a system is safety-critical, a certification activity must evaluate whether it is compliant with the appropriate standards in that domain. In the avionic and automotive domains, targeted by InterMCore, a key and open challenge is the safe and efficient use of heterogeneous high-performance mult
Caribbean Active SeismoTectonics: Shedding light on the seismic and tsunami hazards – CAST
Strike-slip faults are thought to create lower magnitude earthquakes and smaller tsunamis, if at all, compared to subduction zones. However, strike-slip faults have recently produced tsunamis larger than anticipated, highlighting that their seismic and tsunamigenic potential is likely underestimated
Precision of collective, distributed, dynamic gene regulation – DISTANT
Summary: Quantitative elucidation of how protein expression is regulated with high precision, and how and why it can fail, is important for understanding the basic biology of organism development, as well as the genesis of many diseases. In the context of development, this precision leads to boundar
Immunocompetence and vascularisation for a skin-on-a-chip model. – INCREASE
Every year, 115 million animals are used worldwide for basic research, toxicological evaluation of chemicals, drugs, pesticides, biocides and medical devices (MD). The ethical and regulatory context encourages the limitation of animal experimentation in these fields. Concerning MDs, the protection o
Investigating IPO8-dependent immune dysregulation of the GUT: from mechanism to precision medicine – IPOGUT
A novel connective tissue disorder combining vascular and skeletal abnormalities has been recently associated to bi-allelic loss of function variants in IPO8. IPO8 codes for importin 8, a member of the ?-karyopherin family involved in cytoplasm-to-nucleus shuttling of a broad range of cargos. We hav
An Integrated Test of Climate Hypotheses: Paleoclimate Cycles and Plankton Evolution in the Pleistocene equatorial Indian Ocean – ITCH
Oceanic plankton are sensitive to physical and biochemical changes in the surface ocean, and are key modulators of the ocean carbon cycle via photosynthesis and calcification. Fossil plankton remains exported to the seafloor and preserved in sediments thus hold key clues on both past climate changes
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
Predicting speaker's usages in oral French : quantitative, experimental and comparative approaches of syntactic alternation – PULCO
One of the main aims of current work in quantitative and experimental syntax is to identify factors with predictive power on speakers' choices when faced with syntactic alternations, i.e. cases where the speaker has a choice between two or more syntactic structures to express equivalent meanings.
