Mass electricity storage by thermal geodoublet & CO2 as working fluid – SeleCO2
Most of the industrial countries are experiencing challenges regarding control of peak power consumption and renewable energy development. To face these challenges, massive electricity storage are to play an increasing role. However, more mature technologies such as hydraulic gravity energy storage
Physical Chemistry process for the synthesis of sustainable marine materials for the littoral preservation – EcoCorail
These ast years, one observe to a considerable increase of the oceanic coastal errosion, due to progressive increase of seawater and violent climate phenomenon. French coast are particularly impacted with the move backwards of sand dune and beachs and also by cliffs erosion for example. Different me
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
TheRmo-Actuated Migration in a microsystem – TRAM
Bubble/droplet driving has been commonly investigated in soft microfluidic chips, using surfactants to stabilize the dispersed phase, involving simultaneously different phenomena that makes the behaviour of the elements especially difficult to predict. Oppositely, we propose to quantify the influen
Cellular Solid State NMR Spectroscopy of membrane proteins from Corynebacteriales – CoryneNMR
Corynebacteriales is a suprageneric actinomycetes group that includes corynebacteria, mycobacteria, nocardia, rhodococci. These Gram+ bacteria are important in several ways: pathogenic mycobacterial species, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. leprae, are known to cause severe infectious dis
Geometrical approach for Porous media flows: theory and numerics – GEOPOR
The GeoPor project proposal aims to gather experienced and promising researchers from different fields of mathematics, more precisely optimal transportation for the analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) and numerical analysis, for studying the equations governing multi-phase flows in po
Optimising CNS-targeted neurotensin-peptide-vector conjugates for induction of therapeutic hypothermia – VEC2Brain
Central Nervous System (CNS) diseases are the world’s leading cause of disability. The brain's blood vessels possess unique anatomical and physiological features - collectively known as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) - that substantially limit the delivery of drugs to the nervous tissue. Strategies f
Quantum dot sensitized p-type wide band gap semiconductors for photoelectrochemistry – QuePhelec
The QuePhelec project proposal aims at the fabrication and study of new architectures for photoelectrochemical applications: assemblies of quantum dots (QDs) on p-type wide band gap semiconductors. By properly choosing the chemical and electronic nature of the components of the assembly, of the conn
Prediction of the physical properties of next-generation refrigerant fluids – PREDIREF
On account of the constraints imposed by the European and International legislations, the refrigerant industry must constantly find alternative refrigerant fluids that have lower impacts on the global warming of Earth and Ozone layer. Besides the safety and environmental constraints, these alte
Involvement of microRNAs in the response to SRI antidepressants – miR-Dep
Depression concerns more than 350 millions people over the world according to WHO data, placing this pathology as a major concern for public health. Depressive states are associated to a decrease in the brain of the level of serotonin, which regulates mood, anxiety and appetite. SRI Antidepressants
