AVIAN GLYCATION RESISTANCE: PHYLOGENETIC AND ECOLOGICAL ROOTS, MECHANISMS AND INDIVIDUAL FITNESS LINKS. – AGEs
Exploring biodiversity generally brings unexpected observations. One of them is that evolution has led to a large diversity of animal longevities with paradoxical physiological responses to environmental constraints. Birds’ glycemia is diabetic-like and it does not match with their long healthy life
Advanced gravitational waves detector CALibration for accurate COsmology – ACALCO
After the first observation of gravitational waves (GW) in 2015, the LIGO and Virgo collaborations made in 2017 the first observation of GW coming from the final cycles of two orbiting neutron stars that eventually collided. The major breakthrough with this event (GW170817) was the localization of t
Air pollution mitigation actions for megacities in Africa : Abidjan, as a real world laboratory study – APIMAMA
Project APIMAMA (Air PollutIon Mitigation Actions for Megacities in Africa: Abidjan, as a real-world laboratory study) Key words: air pollution, exposure, sanitary risks, particulate pollution, vulnerability, emissions, attenuation, adaptation, infrastructures, mobility, ecosystemic approach, susta
An innovative pipeline to establish the complete Plasmodium vivax life-cycle in the laboratory – VICTOR
The overall objective of the VICTOR project was to establish a complete experimental model of P. vivax in the laboratory, addressing one of the most complex bottlenecks in malaria research. Unlike P. falciparum, which has benefited for decades from continuous in vitro cultures enabling major advance
Ascending smoke vortices in the stratosphere – ASTuS
The major volcanic eruptions of the past (Lakki 1784, Tambora 1815, Krakatoa 1883, Pinatubo 1991) disrupted the climate over periods of several months to a few years. Other less significant eruptions (Sarychev 2009, Nabro 2011, Calbuco 2025, Raikoke 2019, …) induced an instantaneous radiative distur
Availability and transfer of trace elements through Arctic terrestrial food-chains and their health implications to large Arctic wildlife (ATCAF) – ATCAF
The Arctic is one of the fastest-changing regions on Earth. Rising temperatures and increasing human activities are altering natural chemical cycles in the environment, including the availability of trace elements. Some of these elements, such as copper, selenium, and zinc, are essential for animal
Biofilm Adaptation to Biocides and Impact on Antibioresistance – BAoBAb
The BAoBAb project is positioned at the interface between food safety and the fight against antimicrobial resistance, within a One Health framework. While antibiotic use is recognised as a major driver of resistance selection, the role of biocides used for surface disinfection remains poorly assesse
Building Nationalism in Inner Asia: The Empowerment of the Tibetan Revolution in the early 20th century – NATINASIA
The subject of the 1911 Chinese Revolution in Tibet, the various factors, both internal and external, that conditioned it, its unfolding, and its consequences on Inner Asia’s geopolitics has not yet been studied. This project proposes a connected history of the revolution in Tibet by taking into con
Children in decolonisation: forced migrations and individual construction (France – 1945-1980) – EN-MIG
The aim of this project is to examine historically the effects of post-colonial biopolitical logics on the personal construction of children who are victims of forced mobility. It seeks to understand the individual drivers of integration in children and young people uprooted in the context of the de
Complex Predicates in Languages: Emergence, Typology, Evolution – COMPLETE
Although the term “complex predicates” is well established in linguistics, it is still a theoretical challenge. Complex predicates are generally defined as sequences of phonologically independent words, which together behave like a single predicate; but this definition covers a broad range of constr
