Development of an integrative modelling approach to evaluate the human foetal internal exposure to a contaminant, applied to Bisphenol A as a probe – Modelexpo
bisphenol A (BPA) is of special concern due to its estrogen-like properties. BPA is also a molecule of [...] The exposure to xenobiotics during prenatal life is a major concern for toxicologists. Xenobiotic exposure [...] repeatedly been suggested to be involved in the onset of a variety of biological effects later in life, even
DYnamics of a turbuleNt plasmA and Magnetic inductiOn – DYNAMO
The goal of this project is to extend studies on turbulent induction and elementary MHD processes led from liquid metals to plasmas. To that end, controlled flows are driven in a slightly magnetized plasma column. The impact of these controlled flows on the temporel dynamics of the fluctuations of the plasma parameters (for instance the influence of a controlled rotation on drift wave dynamics) is also addressed.
The role of GENetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity in adaptations to changing Environments: a genomic analySIS of a biological invasion – GENESIS
A central theme in evolutionary biology and conservation biology alike is the process of adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Theoretically both genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity can maintain the fitness of populations. Two major questions remain unanswered: Are low levels of neutral variation indicative of low adaptive potential to future change in environmental conditions? What is the role of phenotypic plasticity in the response to environmental challenges?
Insight into the Precambrian oceans from a biogeochemical study of a present-day analog: the lake Dzinai Dzaha, Mayotte. – Dziani
Sedimentary rocks consitute the only record of the primitive oceans. To understand them and hence to characterize ancient oceans, we need to look at the sediments from a variety of well characterized modern aquatic systems. The Dziani Dzaha is one of them.
From a collaboration platform to a business digital ecosystem – ECOPACK
Each device will associate with a specific type of interaction and with a specific type of task. Individuals [...] where each contributor is identified as a user in relation with a specific collaborative group. The use [...] the dynamic evolution of knowledge articulation in a collaborative group. We specifically endorse the reference
Make a sustainable success of a well-balanced nutrition and sensorially adapted for Seniors – RENESSENS
Culinary dependence refers to a situation in which a senior delegates all or part of his or her food-related activities to a third party (household helper, meal delivery service, institution). Within the population of seniors with culinary dependence, 1 in 2 people is undernourished or at risk of malnutrition.

One way is to promote a strong ecologisation of agriculture reducing inputs
Development of a drug-candidate: a phosphorus-based dendrimer with anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory properties – TREE-DRUG
There is an unmet medical need to treat more efficiently the chronic inflammatory diseases whose incidence and prevalence are increasing because of the aging population in developed countries, with raising costs for the society.
Short telomeres in patients at high cardiovascular risk: a simple marker or a major determinant of accelerated arterial aging – TELARTA
is, we hypothesize that TL is not just a simple marker, but a real determinant of arterial aging. That [...] atherosclerosis and accelerated aging since it serves as a biomarker of the cumulative burden of inflammation [...] because TL reflects cellular repair capacity and a short LTL denotes diminished repair reserves.
