Accounting for the water interconnectedness within Mediterranean catchments under water shortage crisis and global changes – AQUEDUCT
Agriculture, both rainfed and irrigated, along with forest cover, emerges as the sectors using the most water in many Mediterranean countries. To address drought and water scarcity in Mediterranean catchments, one solution is to manage water demand and use by crop and forest covers. This entails: i
Neurotensin-polyplex: Tool for a novel gene therapy of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer – NTS-polyplex
Lung cancer is the main cause of death from cancer with 5-year survival across all stages at 15-20%. About 80% of these tumors are from non–small-cell histological type (NSCLC), including adenocarcinomas, squamous cell, and large cell carcinomas. Surgery is generally accepted as the best treatment o
Observation of the territory for the understanding of the evolution of administrative boundaries and settlements. Building Geo-Historical data bases and Ontological approach. – GéoPeuple
/ / / / History of the French population and territory since the 18th century until now is quite well known at the department's and province's level. However, it is far less explored at the scale of the smallest administrative units, the communes, where the people have their everyday life. The reaso
The evolution of information use in ecology – EVO-INF-COL
Evolution by natural selection can only occur if differences among individuals are transmitted among generations, i.e. if variation is heritable. Thus, one of the great challenges in evolution is to understand the informational mechanisms underlying heritability. Recent studies in behavioral ecology
Original Measurement of Energy using a Geometrical Approach – OMEGA
Since the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe in 1998, understanding the nature of dark energy, or highlighting a change in the laws of general relativity scale, has become one of the major challenges of modern cosmology. From the observational point of view, it is necessary to h
The New IRAM KID Arrays (NIKA): a continuum camera for millimeter wave astronomy – NIKA
In May 2011, IRAM (Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique) issued a call for tender for the next generation continuum instrumentation of the 30-m telescope at Pico Veleta (Spain). The NIKA (New IRAM KIDs Arrays) consortium answered with a detailed proposal to build a large-format, dual-color (150
A golden nearby SN sample from the Zwicky Transient Facility-II Survey (ZTF-II) – ZTF
Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) are the only cosmological probe able to map accurately the cosmic expansion and structure formation in the late Universe -- the other techniques (BAO, RSD) being cosmic variance limited at low redshifts. The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is the only instrument able to
Composition of Low Albedo Solar System surfaces – CLASSY_Ukraine
Our Solar System is the only planetary system that can be thoroughly explored by spacecrafts and by the analysis of planetary samples in the laboratory. It provides a unique glance at the mechanisms leading to stars and planets formation, a vision that is complementary to that derived from remote ob
