Mechanical Energy Storage and Absorption in Microporous Materials by High-Pressure Intrusion of Electrolyte Solutions – MESAMM
The project is devoted to development of new highly efficient heterogeneous lyophobic systems for mechanical energy storage and absorption based on high pressure intrusion-extrusion of electrolyte solutions in hydrophobic microporous materials such as pure-silica zeolites (zeosils) and Metal-Organic
Realistic modelling for Earth's magnetic field reversals – revEarth
The overarching goal of this project is to understand Earth’s magnetic field reversals using convective geodynamo simulations that operate in the low viscosity and strong magnetic field regime, while exhibiting polarity reversals that are not driven by inertia. 1) The implementation of the AMS rare
Search engine for environmental genomic sequencing data – SeqDigger
The central objective of this proposal is to provide an ultra fast and user-friendly search engine that compares a query sequence, typically a read or a gene (or a small set of such sequences), against the exhaustive set of all available data corresponding to one or several large-scale (meta)genomic
Origami-based structures for multi-modal Robots – OrigaBot
The OrigaBot project aims to develop an innovative mobile robot based on a new family of origami structures for robots with a flexible mechanical structure that is active, reconfigurable and deformable. The OrigaBot will be a multimodal locomotion mobile robot with a reconfigurable structure to roll
Atmospheric River Climatology in Antarctica – ARCA
Over much of Antarctica, the surface mass balance (SMB) is controlled by a few extreme events, resulting in high natural variability in this variable. In particular, it has recently been shown that extreme moisture intrusions related to atmospheric rivers (AR) from the Southern Ocean are major sourc
EcoHealth approach for the evaluation of SDHI fungicides use: exposome and hazards for biodiversity and human health – SoEcohealth
The catalytic region of the SDH is highly conserved across species: SDHI target mitochondrial functions that are not only critical in agricultural fungi, but also in all animals and plant species that have mitochondria. With respect to human health, genetic diseases and cancer genetics provide evide
Pestilences and human societies: emergence, evolution and bio-cultural transformations – PSCHEET
The first objective is to identify these epidemics as precisely as possible (archaeological facts, chronology, DNA of pathogen), to retrace their itineraries and understand their dispersal. For the time being, although the chronology and expansion of Justinian plague can be more readily followed tha
Emergent communication through curiosity-driven multi-agent reinforcement learning – ECOCURL
The ECOCURL project is grounded in the following hypotheses: • H1: Intrinsically-motivated learning can encourage emergent communication in cooperative multi-agent environments by guiding the agents towards the autonomously discovery of a diverse set of skills for improving their control over the e
Distribution of HYdrogen in the protoplanetary Disk and deliveRy to the Terrestrial planEts – HYDRaTE
Through an exhaustive and systematic investigation of the hydrogen-bearing phases in chondrites, the HYDRaTE project will: (i) shed new light on the distribution of water and organics in the protoplanetary disk, (ii) bring fundamental constraints on the formation environment(s) of chondrules, the ma
Role of intracellular trafficking in the control of Immunoglobulin Receptor-mediated diseases – IDEA
The mechanisms by which IRAP controls FcR activation and how these impacts diseases are unknown and will be investigated by the 4 working packages of the IDEA project: WP1. Understand the molecular mechanisms by which IRAP facilitates FcgR activation : This WP will include cellular biology method
