Optical Control of the Movement and Organization of Nanoparticles – COME-ON
COME-ON aims at demonstrating controlled light-induced organization of individual nano-sized objects using photomechanically active azo-derivative molecules. Indeed, the cis-trans photoisomerization of such molecules is known to produce huge average mass-transport effects in polymeric hosts. However
Geraniol against multi-drug resistant bacteria – GIRC
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in human health. During the last two decades, only a few molecules where proposed by the Major Companies, and with some exception (inhibition of bacterial peptide deformylase) they target the same process in bacterial cells. Indeed, there is an urgent n
Permanent Activity Monitoring and Attack Localization – SCALA
SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems are used in many business sectors such as transportation, energy, telecoms or water distribution. Most of these sectors are defined in Europe as mission critical sectors and, as a consequence, critical installations have to be protected. For
Interactions bactéries - ANTIBIotiques dans les installations de traitement des EAUx usées – ANTIBI-EAU
Scientific background and objectives: The presence in the environment of pharmaceutical substances is a public health problem. These biologically active, hydrophilic and persistent substances are introduced in the water cycle by wastewater and are discharged in the environment, if the barrier const
High resolution flow measurement based on a bidirectionnal frequency shifting loop – MECHOUI
The consortium composed of Thales R&T (TRT), the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Physique (LIPhy) end the Unité de Mécanique de l’ENSTA Paris introduces a novel architecture for optical fiber based distributed sensing with high spatial resolution and high bandwidth capability. This unique instrume
Bio-based production of hydrocarbons using a new photoenzyme – PHOTOALKANE
The climatic consequences of using fossil reserves make it necessary to develop more environmentally-friendly biofuels. While most industrial developments have focused on the production of bioethanol or oil (converted to biodiesel), microbial production of medium-chain hydrocarbons (C7-C13) is emerg
Heterogeneous Component Design Technology – HELICITY
The main objectives are: Objective 1: to develop a complete hierarchical modeling approach as well as a multi-level design flow allowing reuse, architectural exploration and verification at the system level, and based on an industrially accepted modeling language. Objective 2: to extend a graph-ba
spreading of granular pastes: from the particle to end use properties – PASTFLOW
The objective should be realized by adequate modelling of the rheology of the granular paste on the basis of rheological tests, particle-based micro-structural experimental as well as simulation-based investigations. The main focus is on the development of microscale-based models, which predict the
Vectorization of iridium(III) complexes using siderophore surrogates : a Trojan horse strategy against Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria – VECTRIUM
The bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a crucial issue in many countries. Urgent innovative solutions are needed to fight infections caused by nosocomial Gram-negative bacilli, such as P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, etc. Alternatives strategies to antibiotherapy are expected to broaden the therape
New generation of machine-learning based Models for Aerodynamics Computations – NEWMAC
In this project, the goal is to investigate new machine learning methodologies to improve turbulence models for aeronautical applications. In aerodynamics, the models currently used in industry are based on strong approximations and are calibrated on very simple configurations. These models have ser
