LightRIM : superresolved low cost Random Illumination Microscopy – LightRIM
Despite their high price, super-resolved fluorescence microscopes, either scanning or structured illumination microscopes (SIM), used in biology imaging platforms, often show degraded performances due to sample induced optical aberrations. We have recently developed an easy to use techniquethat p
Mechanisms controlling Li incorporation and isotope fractionation in CaCO3 minerals – MeLiCa
It is centered on the comprehension of the Li chemical and isotopic effects associated with the coprecipitation of Li in carbonates in the cases of Li sorption and Li inorganic precipitation with the most common CaCO3 minerals calcite and aragonite by coupling the state-of-the-art concepts and tools
The impact of artisanal mining : Evidence from Sub-Saharan African countries – ArtiMining
The aim of this project is to explore the impact of artisanal mines (legal or illegal) on the economic development of Sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2021. This project proposes to collect exhaustive information for all Sub-Saharan African countries on the opening/closing of artisanal m
The IRON cycle in deep-sea hydrothermal vents: role of iron-reducing and iron-oxidizing MIcroorganisms and impact on MInerals alteration – IRON2MI
In front of the increasing societal demand for deep-sea mining and the future quantification and exploitation of the deep-sea mineral resources, it is of importance to better understand the contribution of the microbial compartment on the mineral alteration processes that can participate to the modi
Sphingolipids as crucial links between COVID-19 and neurodegeneration – GSLSALSCOV
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) synthesized in the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum are incredibly diverse but are essential for membranes, lipid rafts, the glycocalyx, lysosomal function; small changes can have major effects, but their immense diversity the sugar and lipid moieties poses difficulties in a
Chemical genetics tools for investigating DNA junctions – InJUNCTION
Alternative nucleic acid structures encompass all DNA structures that deviate from the canonical Watson-Crick double helix, or duplex-DNA. These structures are currently being actively studied to understand where, when and how they fold in human cells and to identify the biological processes they ar
On the Cognitive principles underlying operational biases in the temporal domain – CoPrOBTeD
1. Functional locus of the TME Does the TME emerge during perception or during the motoric reproduction? To test this notion, we will separate the perceptual and cognitive processing stages from the motor production phase by asking participants to judge whether the estimated outcome is larger than
STart-ups: Entrepreneurial trajectories and Funding of Innovation – STEFI
From 2014 to 2020, the Hauts de France regional innovation strategy (SRI) consolidated all of its innovation and entrepreneurship mechanisms. The new strategic plan resulted in the development of a system for detecting, accompanying, and supporting innovative projects, based on the Astride database
Chemical and optical evolution of TITAn's aerosols under high-energy RADiation – TITARAD
The 13-year (2004-2017) exploration of the Saturnian system by the Cassini-Huygens mission has revealed that Titan's atmospheric chemistry is by far the most complex of any observed in the solar system. In the upper atmosphere, Cassini's mass spectrometers (INMS and CAPS) detected the presence of po
Single Granule oMics to support starch synthetic biochemistry – SinGraMics
Starch is a main storage form of carbon for plants. It is composed by glucose polymers forming water insoluble granules that harbour a wide range of sizes and morphologies regarding to their origin (e.g., plant species, organs, tissues, cells). In addition, starch granules contain minor fractions of
