Pestilences and human societies: emergence, evolution and bio-cultural transformations – PSCHEET
This project intends to widen reflection on past plague mortality crises by combining textual, archaeological and biological data from several European burial sites. We wish to engage interdisciplinary and innovative research on the Justinian plague) and on ancient, supposedly plague, epidemics. The two main objectives are : to track pestilences itineraries and to analyse and interpret their social and cultural impact.
PhasE PolyPhenism Emergence and associated Risks – PEPPER
Locust species alternatively display harmless solitarious and gregarious phenotypes. When gregarious, they create migrating bands and swarms that are devastating for all types of agriculture. This plasticity, named phase polyphenism, give them advantages to be a real hazard for agriculture all around the world. What are the evolutionary origins of these capacities? How should we forecast swarming locust outbreaks?
Phase-space GRANULation in fusion plasmas – GRANUL
The efficiency of future fusion reactors, such as tokamaks, depends on our understanding of turbulent processes, in order to control them. In the core of the 150 million degrees plasma, we expect a new kind of turbulence, characterized by the presence of many sub-structures, which trap charged particules.
Phonological Networks in Language Production and Comprehension. – PhoNet
In a joint effort of French and German scientists specializing, respectively, in speech production and speech comprehension, this project will perform parallel production and comprehension experiments in French and German to improve our understanding of the brain mechanisms of language.
Phosphorus sequestration: contribution of magnetotactic bacteria in oxic–anoxic transition zones – PHOSTORE
The project stems from our recent demonstration that a group of magnetotactic bacteria strongly accumulate P at the oxic-anoxic interface in the water column of the ferruginous Lake Pavin (Massif Central, France; Rivas-Lamelo et al. 2017, Geochem. Persp. Lett.). These bacteria constitute a new and relevant model for studying the cycling of P by microorganisms in freshwater environments, the molecular mechanisms of P sequestration and their influence by environmental parameters.
Photo-induced processes in multi-component surface-supported metal-organic frameworks – PhotoMOF
Photo-induced processes in multi-component surface-supported metal-organic frameworks
PhotobiofilmExplorer – PhotobiofilmExplorer
It is crucial to identify new drugs to deal with pathogens that are resistant to current antibiotics. Most of the microalgae species cultivated in biofilms by the start-up Inalve are capable of forming biofilms that are highly resistant to biological contamination thanks to the synthesis of allelopathic compounds. <br />The objective of the project is to characterise and produce these new bio-compounds that can be used for human and animal health.
Photochromic Inorganic Fluorides – PRIDE
Photochromic inorganic oxides or fluorides are able to indicate the UV dose received by their color change under irradiation. This will involve moving from proof of concept on a particular chemical composition to paints that can be used as UV dose indicators.
Photodesorption induced by UV, X-rays and Electrons on Surfaces – PIXyES
The PIXyES project proposes to synergize different experimental and theoretical approaches to unveil the phenomenon of photodesorption, a mechanism poorly understood from a fundamental point of view, but whose importance is crucial for understanding and exploiting the observations of molecules in the coldest regions of the interstellar medium, namely the regions of stars and planets formation.
