WAter vapor LIdar NEtwork ASsimilation – WaLiNeAs
Southern France is struck by ~ 7 heavy precipitation events (HPEs) per year on average during the fall (September-November). HPEs occurring in small and steep watersheds are responsible for the triggering of flash floods with a sudden and often violent onset and rapid rise of rivers, typically from
Impact of co-exposure to nanoceria and benzo-(a)-pyrene on human placental barrier – PregNanoBaP
This project aims to set up the placenta toxicology bases in response to two highly relevant contaminants from environmental pollution when they are encountered together in mixture: BaP and nanoceria. These two pollutants are contaminants to which pregnant woman and the unborn child are daily expose
Origins of divergence – The causes of pre- and post-zygotic isolation barriers in Spodoptera frugiperda – ORIGINS
The objectives of the project are: 1) Unambiguous identification and characterization of diverging genetic loci between the strains. Using a new population genomics approach, all loci diverging between the strains will be identified. The identified genetic variants will be classified according to
DihydrouridinE RNA modification marks: written and erased by the same enzyme – DERASE
D is among the most abundant modified bases of the transcriptome, found mainly in cytosolic and mitochondrial tRNAs and occasionally in cytosolic rRNA, nuclear 5S RNA from rat, and chromosome-associated RNA. It might conceivably occur in other types of RNAs such as mRNA. Resulting from a redox react
Miniaturized Multi-axis Quantum Sensors – MiniXQuanta
Objective 1: Development of new methods for multidimensional inertial measurements using cold atoms We aim to demonstrate the experimental implementation of new methods for multidimensional inertial measurements using interferometers with free falling cold atoms. We developed a protocol of atom o
Intelligent Estimation Algorithms for Smart Mobility – ArtISMo
In this project, we will propose original ideas and we will develop efficient estimation algorithms reconstructing the state variables necessary for the control and diagnosis of the autonomous and connected vehicle. The problems considered are the tracking of vehicles, the estimation of sensor and a
Longitudinal study on ageing and social inequality – ELVIS
Three main objectives structure the Elvis project Objective 1: Assess social inequalities at retirement age The Elvis project aims first to establish an overview of social inequalities at age 60, a pivotal moment in the transition to retirement. These inequalities are the result of different profess
Integration of Microseism and Coda Correlations as a New Dataset for Deep Earth Seismic Imaging – TerraCorr
The main objective of the Project is to explore the possibility to use seismic wave fields emerging from the correlation of long recordings (a.k.a. seismic interferometry) to probe the Earth’s deep interior. In practice, we want to build and mine a new and robust dataset of seismic signals that are
Exploring the dynamics of X-linked gene expression in female B cells: implication in humoral immunity to influenza virus – XiToll-BFlu
There is a sex bias in humoral immunity in humans and mice. In adults of childbearing age, basal immunoglobulin concentration, B cell count and antibody responses are higher in females compared to males. This difference is also observed in the immune response against RNA viruses (influenza viruses).
TeraHertz time domain spectrometer for the determination of optical properties of suspended micro and nanoparticles in the air in a controlled environment – STEPSON
The present project proposes to develop and operate a new and innovative TeraHertz (THz) broadband measurement bench in time domain (Time-Domain Spectroscopy, TDS), between 200 GHz and 5 THz, of CRI of suspended micro-nanoparticles in the air in a controlled environment. The use of an algorithm deve
