Ignition Fundamentals for Internal Combustion Engines – FAMAC
To develop a high performance ignition system at acceptable cost for the automotive industry, it is important to avoid strong technology changes by conserving the spark based system. For this it is important to understand the energy path from the power electronics through the arc until the initiatio
Imagerie Nanométrique Femtoseconde par diffraction X cohérente – I-NanoX
A microscope resolution is limited by the illuminating wavelength. Alternative techniques that can break this barrier are not compatible with time resolved studies of ultrafast phenomena. Changing the spectral domain is a way to solve that problem. However, usual visible techniques cannot be transpo
Impact of Inland Navigation on the Environment – INFLUE
The French river network consists of approximately 18,000 km of waterways, of which 8,500 km are navigable. This network includes rivers and canals that have been developed and opened for transport. France has one of the longest networks of navigable waterways in Europe. This mode of transport has t
Impact of STress on uRban trEEs on ciTy air quality – sTREEt
Urban vegetation is a source of ecosystem services, such as reduction of heat island phenomenon via evapotranspiration or support for pollution deposition. Trees emit a number Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) that can react with atmospheric primary pollutants to form secondary pollutants,
In vivo and in silico production of mutants affecting photosynthetic pathways: experimental development and modeling of metabolic pathways that influence photosynthetic yields downstream of photosynthetic electron transfer in green algae. – ChloroPaths
Photosynthetic cells exposed to excess light use metabolic pathways to dissipate reducing power towards oxidative reactions. These pathways influence the energetics of the cell and either reduce photosynthetic performance because energy is no longer used for CO2 fixation or increase energy conservat
In vivo proof of concept of molecules against hemolytic uremic syndrome – AntiHUS
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections affect hundreds of thousands of people annually in industrialized countries, including approximately 265,000 people in the United States according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 50% of people that experience Shi
In-Situ Topological Reduction of Scientific 3D Data – TORI
Modern scientific methods heavily rely on large-scale 3D simulations. However, current data production speeds are much higher than storage speeds (5 orders of magnitude on typical supercomputers). This imbalance constitutes a major bottleneck in the scientific computing pipeline, such that most of t
In-Situ X-ray LAMinography with Bi-axial Loads for the Multiscale Investigation of DAmage Formation in Materials for Transportation – LAMBDA
In the pursuit of lighter materials and optimized thin-walled components for transportation, knowledge about the characteristic ductile damage mechanisms in metal sheets is key.As the study of damage in materials has, up to now, been focussed on proportional loading, the strain-damage interaction is
In-situ forming implants for periodontitis treatment – Imperio
Periodontitis is a highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium, leading to the destruction of the tooth supporting tissues and finally to tooth loss. Microorganisms in the patients’ periodontal pockets produce molecules, which directly attack the host tissue and/or cause an im
In-situ measurement and design of the electronic conductivity at all scales of a composite electrode for lithium battery – CALICE
The development of new lithium batteries with high energy density, high power and high cyclability is targeted. To reach this long-term goal, a fundamental understanding of the so called “formulation” of the composite electrode, i.e. the relationships between its processing, its morphology at differ
