Aerosol-Cloud Interactions: the role of organic compounds on cloud droplet activation – ORACLE
Cloud droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere form on ubiquitous aerosol particles. Predictions of cloud droplet size and number concentration derived from aerosol properties are still poor, leading to large uncertainties in the radiation budget and climate projections. Cloud droplet formation on cloud c
Benzothioxanthene and derivatives: promising building blocks for organic electronics – BTXI-APOGEE
BTXI-APOGEE is a highly innovative and therefore challenging project since almost everything remains to be discovered. Great forgotten of the organic electronic success story, the benzothioxanthene turns out to be a promising and high potential block in terms of synthetic versatility and properties.
Advanced Monte Carlo Methods for Medical Physics – MoCaMed
The numerical simulation of particle transport in medical physics, known as Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), is widely used in the research and development of medical imaging systems and radiotherapy treatment systems. However, the growing need for detailed and accurate simulations results in extremely
Reactive Electrochemical MEMbranes Bioreactor for the valoRization of wastewater – REMemBer
Wastewater represents a massive amount of water (13 to 15 million m3 / day in France) that could be used as a potentially worthwhile resource, regardless of seasonal droughts. However, wastewater treatment plants are currently not able to achieve in a cost-effective way a sufficient water quality fo
Theoretical, Experimental, and Computational Study of Carriers Localization in Nitride Devices – TECCLON
Modern (opto)electronic devices rely on band engineering capabilities, made possible by the use of semiconductor heterostructures in which band gaps, offsets and strains in the active layers are optimized by associating pure compounds and alloys. High electron mobility transistors create two-dimensi
TeraHertz time domain spectrometer for the determination of optical properties of suspended micro and nanoparticles in the air in a controlled environment – STEPSON
The present project proposes to develop and operate a new and innovative TeraHertz (THz) broadband measurement bench in time domain (Time-Domain Spectroscopy, TDS), between 200 GHz and 5 THz, of CRI of suspended micro-nanoparticles in the air in a controlled environment. The use of an algorithm deve
Optimization of Required and Accessible Manufacturing Made Necessary by an Eminent Sanitary Crisis – Odefrance
The ODEFRANCE project aims to provide the Hauts-de-France region with the capacity to take care of patients in crisis period when marketed pharmaceutical specialties can no longer be transported due to a disruption in the supply chain. Indeed, the latest health crisis has shown that certain specialt
Pseudopaline trafficking in Pseudomonas aeruginosa – PseudoTraffic
Metallophores are molecules with a high affinity for metals, synthesized, secreted and recovered by bacteria in order to ensure constant availability of metals, especially in most hostile environments such as the one encountered during bacterial infection of a host. In this context, we have recently
Peptidoglycan cross-linking by L,D-transpeptidases in Clostridioides difficile: role in antibiotic resistance and toxin release – DIFFICROSS
C. difficile poses a serious, ongoing, public health threat. Patients are typically colonized by C. difficile after antibiotics treatment, which disrupts the intestinal microbiota homeostasis. ß-lactam antibiotics are recognized as major causative agents of C. difficile infection but the molecular m
Earth Observation with Optimal Transport for Artificial Intelligence – OTTOPIA
Earth Observation, whether it be by satellites, airborne captors or drones, allows a better understanding of the dynamics of environmental systems or our human society. It is a decisive tool to measure the impact of mankind on earth. In the last 50 years, the fast development of spatial missions and
