Eco-Stock solutions for the valorization of complex industrial waste heat – SOLUTEC
Nowadays, the industry looses more than 20% of the energy it consumes in flue gases under the form of so-called waste heat. More than 3500 TWh are lost every year in the world, emitting unnecessarily 2500 Mt CO2eq and a shortfall of around 200 billion €. Waste heat rejected by industry in France rea
Reaching Efficient & high-Load Operation of Anaerobic Digestion – RELOAD
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a mature technology that converts biomass (agricultural waste, etc.) into biogas, a renewable energy source. This biogas is upgraded into biomethane, a «clean« biofuel that massively reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. However, the feed-in tariffs t
Regulating digital economy’s environmental pollution – DIGIPOLL
In 2021, the digital economy appears more than ever a wealth of opportunities for economic agents. However, behind the scenes also lie major environmental concerns. Digital devices are fueled with data which are processed, transferred and stored by data centers, which need tremendous electricity and
Toward a multi-stakeholder socio-seismological observation network for seismic risk reduction in Haiti – OSMOSE
Over the past 50 years, earthquakes cost US$ 800 billions – mostly developed countries – and 1.3 million human lives – mostly in developing countries. While these figures show no sign of inflection, risk awareness continues to apply the classic approach where knowledge owned by scientists is transla
Early History of the Opium Poppy in Europe and Southwestern Asia – POPPY
The POPPY project aims to determine the origin and early diffusion of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.). Opium poppy could be the sole plant domesticated during the Neolithic period in Europe, at least from the middle of the sixth millennium. The main objectives of the project are to 1) identi
Development of a new concept in plant protection applied to apple scab – ENFIN!
Apple tree cultivation, which represents a world market of 58 million tons, is the most treated agricultural production in France. The fight against the scab disease due to the ascomycete fungus Venturia inaequalis (Vi), represents 50% of the total treatments carried out in orchards, that is to say
Mercury methylation by microorganisms: from cell to environment – MicroMer
Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that can be transformed into monomethylmercury (MMHg), a neurotoxic compound that bioamplifies and bioaccumulates in trophic chains. Microorganisms regulate the level of MMHg either directly (by methylating inorganic Hg (Hg(II)) and by demethylating MMHg) or indire
Role of Corticoids in Ocular Rosacea – ROCOR
Due to the limited understanding of disease mechanisms and the lack of specific diagnostic tests, OR is underdiagnosed. Yet, it is estimated that 10 to 50% of patients with skin rosacea (representing 10% of the general adult population) have ocular involvement. The current therapeutic options offer
French medical doctors: specialty and practice location choices – MedSpe
For years, health policymakers have been concerned about the inadequate supply of physicians and their maldistribution across medical specialties and territories. In OECD countries, the analysis of physician workforce shows that public policy-makers face two recurrent problems: some specialties are
Automatic generation of multimodal data of mechanical parts assemblies for machine learning in product reverse engineering – GENERAT3D
Collecting and labeling data for machine learning can be a time-consuming task, especially in a multimodal context (reverse engineering can be done from several modalities) where it is necessary to have labeling (by part) in several types of representations (B-Rep models, images, point clouds, depth
