Computational Aided Engineering Tools for the Design of Thermites-based systems – OASYS
Reactive materials are composites or physical mixtures that demonstrate self-sustaining exothermic reactions upon receiving an initial energy input. This category of materials is distinctive within the realm of energetic materials, differing from explosives in the manner in which reaction fronts pro
Control of molecular processes in contact with an environment – CoMoc
1- Scientific background and objectives The control of molecular processes in contact with an environment, such as the trapping and handling of molecules inside nanocages, opens important prospects. Among many intended applications we can highlight the design of nanomachines, miniaturized classical
Control of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in food products by a rational use of the oxydoreduction potential – Food-Redox
Store the food while preserving their properties, microbiological safety, and with a technology with a low environmental impact is a permanent challenge in food processing. The objective is to use a new parameter, the redox potential (Eh) that can be modulated in processes to increase the lifetime o
Controling the pest Drosophila suzukii with the sterile insect technique: maturation and efficacy – SuzuKIISS.ME
Strawberry, raspberry and cherry farmers lack solutions to control the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii (DS). Here, we will maturate the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) targeting DS. SIT has shown great efficacy to control many insects in foreign countries. It prevents reproduction by wild females th
Controlling factors and their interplay in catalytic molecular films. A key for their optimization in the pursuit of modern energy challenges. – CATMEC
To meet rising energy demand, inexpensive and carbon-neutral energy sources must be developed. Solar-driven electrochemical splitting of water to molecular hydrogen and oxygen are small molecule transformations that hold promise as routes of storing sunlight in energy-dense chemical bonds. Activat
Controlling surfactant therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome with two-phase flow and machine learning – INHALE
Surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) consists of instilling a liquid-surfactant mixture into the trachea of premature newborns, whose high alveolar surface tension makes their lungs stiff and difficult to inflate. Despite indisputable efficacy, the dose and administration method have been primarily
Convergent Metrics for Digital Calculus – CoMeDiC
Discrete exterior calculus has emerged in the last decade as a powerful framework for solving discrete variational problems in image and geometry processing. It simplifies both the formulation of variational problems and their numerical resolution, and is able to extract global optima in many cases.
Converting an urban wasteland into a sustainable and educational living-lab, based on a replicable phytomanagement approach – ECOPOLIS
The ECOPOLIS project is structured around three specific objectives: (1) characterize in a complete spatial and quantitative way the pollution, the mobility of pollutants, the environmental and human impacts of the site, using innovative methods that will be deployed on site to meet the technologica
Cooling devices based on non-equilibrium transport in semiconductor heterostructures – GELATO
GELATO aims at designing disruptive highly efficient thermionic cooling nano-devices. It is motivated by the urgent technological need to control joule heating in nanoelectronics in a context of energy shortage. So far, most of the studies on solid-state cooling are based on the classical thermoelec
Cooperative Perception and Communication in vehicular technologies – CooPerCom
One of the main objectives of this project is to determine how we can improve the reliability and robustness aspects of the embedded systems and sensors which are becoming ubiquitous, more numerous and more complex over time. As the number of sensors and systems increases, the challenge of insuring
