Phase-space GRANULation in fusion plasmas – GRANUL
Thermonuclear fusion is an ideal solution to the energy crisis: a clean, safe, global, abundant and sustainable source of energy. A promising approach is to heat an ionized gas (a plasma) of hydrogen isotopes at 150 million degrees, and confine it in a donut-shaped magnetic field. After decades of p
K8/F508del-CFTR, a new target for corrector therapy in cystic fibrosis – CORCF
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomic life-limiting disease which affects more than 70000 patients around the world. It is caused by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) gene coding for the CFTR protein. The most frequent mutation is the deletion of the 508th amino
New integrative sustainable system from C4 photosyntetic miscanthus to biological synthesis of valuable C4 compounds – BioC4
Because of the finite nature of fossil fuel resources and the imminent climate change caused by their intensive use, the demand for renewable materials and bio-based chemicals for industrial applications, as well as for renewable energy, will steadily increase. Due to the inherent techno-economic
Virtual damping for vibroacoustic design of future launchers – ARIAN
The control of damping is a major problem in the dimensioning of space and land vehicles. By reducing or eliminating costly structural tests, the absence of damping models can lead to over designing the structure instead of insuring its vibration comfort, which constitutes the main objective of the
Towards a smart blood culture bottle: Machine learning assisted electrochemical profiling to provide early in-situ identification of bloodstream infection pathogens – E-MOC
Despite all improvements in the diagnosis of infectious diseases in the last 20 years, the socioeconomic burden of bloodstream infections (BSI) is still high for every country all around the world. Approximately 20% of global mortality worldwide (11 million deaths per year) is related to sepsis. Thu
Advanced 2D and 3D material design for operando techniques of bioelectrocatalysis – MatOpeBioCat
Enzymatic electrocatalysis is regarded as an eco-friendly process for various applications in the field of electrochemical energy conversion as well as environmental and medical sensing. Thanks to advanced 2D and 3D electrode design, ranging from planar, over array to 3D porous transparent conductin
Incident Management in Crowd Gathering – GIRAFE
During the next Olympic Games in Paris 2024, France will face a major security challenge because of a series of sports events, relayed around the World, involving personalities and the public. The history of the Games and sports has unfortunately already left traces of painful events, which we have
Catalytic upgrading bio-oils obtained from hydrothermal liquefaction of µ-algae . – RAFBIOALG
Thanks to their fast growth and their high lipids content, micro-algae are considered as potentially-excellent candidates to provide third generation biofuels in the future. Nevertheless, some knowledge gaps still need to be tackled. In the downstream of the value chain, the challenge is to reach te
Interdisciplinary and multi-tracer scientific exploitation of the GEOTRACES GEOVIDE cruise results, through modelling and observations – GEOMOBS
The scientific analysis of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) data in the ocean, obtained through GEOTRACES cruises, is often conducted using simplified tools such as box models, one-dimensional models, or optimal multiparametric analyses. These approaches generally do not allow for the full integra
BIOcompatible and BIOfunctional porous electrodes for miniaturized enzymatic biofuel cells – BIO3
The objective of our work is to design a fully integrated, extremely miniaturized and perfectly biocompatible glucose/O2 biofuel cell (BFC) as an in-vivo source of electricity that may power for example, a subcutaneously implanted, continuous glucose monitor for diabetes management. However, nume
