Treatment of proton transport-related congenital disorders of glycosylation by manganese supplementation – TreatProCDG
Glycosylation is a protein and lipid posttranslational modification influencing many biological and physiological processes. Thousands of proteins are ‘glyco-proteins’. As a result, genetic defects in glycosylation pathways lead to mostly severe diseases, called ‘Congenital Disorders of Glycosylatio
Sustainable Polymers for Advanced Materials in Aerospace and Transport – SPACE-MAT
The University of Bordeaux (UBx) on behalf of the Laboratory of Organic Polymer Chemistry’s Institutions, i.e. the CNRS and National Polytechnic Institute of Bordeaux (Bordeaux INP), together with two industrial partners - ArianeGroup and GTT - are joining forces to propose an industrial chair in th
Innovative synthesis of hIghly dispersed Pt-free metallic nanoparticles for dehydrogenation reactions involved in liquid organic hydrogen carriers – INSIDE-Nano
Generally, noble metal-based catalysts are applied to catalyze hydrogenation/dehydrogenation (HYD/DH) reactions due to their high catalytic activity and selectivity. However, their high cost and scarcity limit their large-scale use in fields of application yet considered essential to respond to curr
Microtubule lattice renewal organizes the neuron – MicRON
A unique cytoskeletal architecture allows neurons to establish a complex and polarized arborization, and to maintain it for decades while ensuring the adaptation necessary for cognitive processes. Microtubules are dynamic polymers of tubulin that form tracks for the long-range transport of neuronal
Disordered honeycomb panels optimized to minimize structural impacts of non-stationary loadings on aircraft and aerospace components – DIZZY
The concept of Anderson localization has an untapped potential that could help improve aerospace and transport engineering by enabling the development of lightweight and robust materials capable of mitigating non-stationary dynamic loadings of high energy. Initially developed to explain the metal-in
CentrifugAl iNstabilities and Turbulence in plAsmas: from LaboratOry plasmas to JUPiter's magnetospherE – CANTALOUPE
The rotation of magnetized plasmas, ubiquitous in the universe and technological applications, is known to lead to centrifugal instabilities and ultimately to an intense cross-field turbulent transport. In this proposal, we will address open issues raised by recent observations of centrifugally unst
Theory and Applications of the Geometry of Entropy Regularized Optimal Transport – THEATRE
Optimal transport, including its entropic regularization, plays an increasing role in our understanding of optimization schemes arising from machine learning problems. The good behavior of such optimization problems and the resulting algorithms are shrewdly related to the geometry induced by the met
SUPER-resolution flow diagnostics for Scalar Transport And Dissipation – SUPERSTAD
To predict and understand heat and mass transport in turbulent flows found in reactors or in nature, lab experiments are needed in which fine enough measurements would be performed to avoid smoothing over small turbulent structures. In this project we propose to qualify and apply an optical techniqu
Integrating operator health and performance dilemmas into the planning and scheduling of intelligent production systems – Prod4Human
The production of goods faces increasing challenges in optimization due to product diversity, heightened consumer demands, and fluctuating demand. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the e-commerce sector, often referred to as the “parcel factory,” which is directly impacted by these varia
SaferTramDriving – SaferTramDriving
Since the 2000s, tramways have become established in many cities as the main mode of public transport. Tramways are an attractive form of surface mass transit (high passenger flow, safe solution, clean energy) for local authorities. Furthermore, its cost is also lower than that of the other mass tra
