American Contemporary Theater in France – ACTiF
Unlike France, which has adopted since WWI an offensive role to ensure cultural diplomacy to maintain its rank in the Concert of Nations, the US federal government has been proactive only in matters that it considers vital to the promulgation of its political model, the enforcement of its national s
Amino Acid Asymmetry – AAAs
Proteins and nucleic acids are functional biopolymers composed of L-amino acids and D ribose subunits that break chiral symmetry. The origin of the symmetry-breaking event is unknown. The photochemistry model by which circularly polarized light (cpl) can induce an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) in organ
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
An antimicrobial origin of organelle targeting peptides – ChloroMitoRAMP
To survive, the proto-endosymbiont had to be able to resist the innate immunity of the host cell, which includes the production of Helical Amphiphilic AntiMicrobial Peptides (HA-RAMPs), a primary defence mechanism of ubiquitous significance. Bacteria facing the action of HA-RAMPs produced by the hos
An inter- and transdisciplinary project to study collaborations in sustainability science – COLLAB2
We understand collaborations as complex social processes, which need to be understood over time. The main objectives of the project are to 1. characterise inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations in the field of sustainability sciences: content, stages of projects where collaboration takes pl
Analyse in situ de la performance
Le but du projet PerfAnalytics est d'apporter aux partenaires sportifs des résultats scientifiques et techniques qui valorisent les nombreuses ressources vidéo prises habituellement in-situ sur le terrain en entraînement et en compétition. Les vidéos seront analysées soit directement, soit en croise
Analysis and Separation of Complex signals: Exploiting the Time-frequency structure – ASCETE
ASCETE is a methodological project whose objective is to focus on the development of adpative methods to decompose complex non stationary signals in a small number of physically significant components. The emphasis will be put on reassignment approaches, and we will seek to circumvent some of their
Analysis of SNARE-mediated regulation of plasma cell biology – PC-SEC
Antibodies (Ab) are essential for efficient and long-term protection against infection. They are produced by plasma cells (PCs) corresponding to the last stage of B cell differentiation and play an essential part in host protection and tissue homeostasis directly by neutralizing pathogens but also b
Analysis of the interplay between digestive microbiota and immune system in the development of rheumatoid arthritis – BactRiA
Background: Recent investigations have suggested a mucosal origin of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because of its remarkable association with several mucosal inflammatory conditions. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis of a cross-reaction between auto-immune antibodies directed at both mic
