Atmospheric CORRosion and mechAnical alteration of bronze BELLs: a sound and artistic heritage in danger ? – BellACorr
The bronze bell (22% wt Sn - a / d phases) is a musical and communication instrument, but also by its ornamental epigraphy, a work of art. It is a historical and cultural heritage to be preserved. From its implementation, the bell is subjected to a physicochemical alteration due to an aggressive environment, and mechanical to ring it. Proposing a micro-infiltrating mechanism of its alteration and quantifying the impact on its sound qualities is a major issue for the bell conservation.
Language contact in Northern China – Historical and Typological perspectives – LCNC
We will study linguistic changes due to language contact in the history of the Chinese language. Many researches have been carried out on contact phenomena, but they have mainly been devoted to inflectional languages, and not to isolating languages such as Chinese. Three periods will be covered from the Middle Ages to the present day. A linguistic and sociolinguistic analysis of will allow us to propose new hypotheses and refine general theories on language contact on language contacts.

Towards Ligand-Induced Fluorescent Proteins – InducedFluo
The UnaG protein emits intense and bright green light once the bilirubin (BR) ligand is bound to the protein. BR is an indirect marker of various human liver functions UnaG is therefore a promising direct medical tool to track liver disease as well as a probe to detect cardiovascular diseases. The project aims to model this new class to understand its electronic, spectral, and conformational properties as well as to design new ligands or mutants enlarging the possible applications.
''Insane persons'' and ''native''. A legal history of a double discrimination in the French Africa (end of 9th-1960) – AMIAF
The AMIAF research project intends to carry out a legal and historical survey of the legal administrative discourses and practices which determined the construction and functioning of the status of native madness in African territories colonised by France between the last two decades of the 19th century and 1960.
Spectral Superdiffusive Phonon Sensor – SPiDER-man
SPiDER-man is devoted to the development of a new instrumentation to probe ballistic-diffusive transfer in nanostructured semiconductors. Over the past decade, rapid improvement of experimental techniques devoted to nanomaterial characterization has arisen. Yet, if those approaches allow spectacular temporal or spatial resolution of heat transfer at nanoscales, they can scarcely describe the ballistic-diffusive regime that exists when length scale and energy carriers mean free path are similar.
Short time scale landscape evolution and topographic signature of extreme climatic and tectonic events – TOPO-Extreme
River terraces, knickpoints, alluvial fans and other morphological markers are routinely used to date and quantify landscape response to changes in climate or tectonics over long time-scale (>10.000 yr). However, those markers are rarely used to assess the natural variability of extreme events’ frequency and magnitude because both the formation and the evolution of those markers in response to internal or external solicitations remains poorly studied.
Bio-physicochemistry of tropical clouds at Maïdo (La Réunion Island): processes and impacts on secondary organic aerosols formation – BIO-MAIDO
The tropical environment of the island of La Réunion presents optimal conditions for studying the formation of SOA: (1) many biogenic compounds, SOA precursors, are emitted in large quantities and strong sunlight and high temperature promote their chemical transformations; (2) due to the high occurrence of clouds on slope, this site allows assessing the influence of aqueous processes in the formation of SOA.
