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
Sub-Exponential Approximate and Parameterized Algorithms – S-EX-AP-PE-AL
The topic of this project is the design of efficient approximation algorithms for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Such problems abound in all fields of science and engineering - in fact the vast majority of interesting problems are NP-hard and therefore do not admit fast (polynomial-tim
Metal Organic Thiolate Coordination Polymers as Innovative Thermoelectric Materials – MOTIC
The chemistry of coordination polymers (CPs) opens up great perspectives for the development of new materials such as in the field of electronics and in energy-harvesting for the recycling of waste heat by thermoelectric effects. These materials consist of an organic matrix crossed by electrical con
Assembly of thermoplastic hybrid carbon composite thermosetting:customization of complex structures – SHORYUKEN
Dans l'industrie moderne, l'impression 3D révolutionne la fabrication de composants automobiles, ferroviaires, aéronautiques, ainsi que des prothèses et orthèses. Ce procédé transforme les modèles 3D en objets réels, permettant la production de pièces complexes et sur mesure, sans le coût de moules
Energy consumption measurements and optimization in mobile networks – ECOMOME
Through project ECOMOME, we propose to address the scientific challenges and societal concerns related to the environmental impact of mobile networks. For this, we define three specific objectives: - O1: Conduct the first independent study on mobile network energy consumption, considering both the
Porous hydrogel under perfusion: modeling and optimization of an in vitro model of bone defect reconstruction – HydrOs
Bone is a living tissue that is subjected to various stimuli. Cells receive mechanical, chemical or biophysical signals through their environment. The information translates into a capacity to adapt to any environmental modification. In the context of bone tissue engineering (BTE), this property can
Adjusting nitrate fluxes in plant growth responses to shade or temperature – NitReST
Plants constantly adjust their development in response to variations of environmental parameters, both above and below ground. How do plants sense and integrate various concomitant external signals? How does each signal influence the response to another? These questions are at the heart of the NitRe
Search for new THERMOelectric and magnetic chalcogenides with DFT as a guiding tool – ThermoDFT
The search for thermoelectric materials is an active topic, and promising new families such as chalcogenides have emerged in recent years with the figure of merit ZT reaching 1 or above. One of the possible tuning parameters of ZT in chalcogenides containing transition-metal cations is magnetism whi
Natural Geotextiles in green road infrastructures – GEONAT
Petrosourced geotextiles have been widely used for several decades in road structures, in particular for separation function. They preserve the characteristics of the subgrade by limiting contamination by fine materials from the fill layer. They are of economic and ecological interest, both because
Artificial Intelligence Methods for Energetic Particle transport in fusion plasmas – AIM4EP
Energetic particles are ubiquitous in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. They contain a significant fraction of the plasma energy and are thus vital for the performance of fusion devices such as ITER. However, the presence of energetic particles and the fact that fusion plasmas are complex system
