Minimization of water consumption in agro-food industries by developing a combined approch integrating Water Footprint and Pinch methods – MINIMEAU
In a context of increasing pressure on water resources in France, sustainable access to quality water has become a vital issue for most food industries (FFIs), which consume it for a wide variety of purposes: from ingredient water to cleaning water, not forgetting water used in heat transfers. Most
Mitochondrial and protease dysfunction in progeroid Cockayne syndrome cells and during age-associated processes – CS_AGE
We study the underlying mechanism of the altered pathway that we identified in CS cells, where oxidative and nitrosative stress (ROS/RNS) promotes overexpression of the HTRA3 protease, which results in the degradation of the key mitochondrial DNA polymerase POLG1 responsible for replication of the o
Mobile Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells – MobiDiC
Sodium borohydride is a fuel of high-energy density, easier to store and transport than gaseous hydrogen. Its oxidation in a direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) would lead to an electrochemical generator capable to compete (or even overwhelm) lithium batteries in terms of energy density and therefor
Modeling Ion Adsorption in Microporoux Carbons – MAICANANO
This program aims to bring the scientific and mathematical bases necessary for the understanding and the prediction of the mechanisms of transport and the adsorption of the ions of the electrolyte in confined nanopores, i.e., under conditions where the double electrochemical layer theory is no longe
Modeling of the durability of concrete constructions – MODEVIE
«The feedback shows that better management of aging structures, in a context of sustainable development, requires appropriate tools for predicting the performance and life of the structures. Furthermore, the development of such tools is also today an important issue that emerged during the conceptio
Modelling and Analysis of the Combustion of aeronautics fuels and Alternative Hydrocarbons in Conventional and Hybrid Compression Ignition engines – MACH2
To reach the objectives set by the ACARE European Commitment to reduce drastically CO2 and nitrogen oxide emissions, but also noise of the air transport sector in 2020, the aeronautics industry is looking forward breakthrough powertrain technical solutions. For light aircrafts (helicopters, general
Modelling charge transport in solid dielectrics under electrical stresses and implication on materials reliability in electrical engineering – ModElec
The main objectives of this project are as follow: - The development of a transport model including physical mechanisms like polarization, recombination and diffusion; - The understanding of the conditions where some particular phenomena are observed experimentally - The validation of the transpo
Modulating the gene networks underlying phenotypic robustness in plant quantitative immunity – PRobIty
Our key hypothesis is that QDR robustness emerges at the global scale from the architecture of plant and pathogen gene networks, and involves conserved genes with diverse molecular functions. The rationale behind this research is based on our preliminary results showing that regulatory changes affec
Molecular Characterization of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Membranes for Gas Separation under Harsh Conditions – MOLHYB
Gas separation by dense polymer membranes is a very promising alternative to the cryogenic distillation or adsorption separation processes due to its much lower energy costs. This is critical for chemical industries, where the separation of mixtures accounts for over 50% of the energy costs. In addi
Molecular ENgINeering of the triplet state energy level of BipoLar organic semi-condUctors: Towards nEw molecular designs. – Men in blue
The research topic we wish to develop herein deals with novel molecular designs of host materials for high-efficiency/stability blue Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diodes (PhOLEDs). Indeed, in order to reduce the energy consummation, new efficient sources of low-energy white light are require
