Nutrient sensing in plants – NUTSE
The mineral nutrition of most terrestrial organisms (bacteria, fungi, plants) relies on the uptake of inorganic ions from the soil. However, the availability of these ions dramatically fluctuates in both time and space. To face this constraint, all organisms are able to develop a wide range of adapt
Methods and tools to optimize planing, design, construction and operation of structural covers over transportation infrastructures in urban areas – CANOPEE
Road and railway infrastructures in urban contexts generate visual, acoustic and atmospheric pollution, as well as deep disconnection within urban structures. To compensate for this issue, infrastructure covers are being developped, without any «doctrine« or specific rules to comply with. This rese
Efficient Management for Door-to-Door Freight Service Networks – Respet
. . . . The industrial research project RESPET aims to develop quantitative approaches for a central problem in freight transportation : the management of door to door freight transportation services. The problem addressed is characterized by a global optimization of the transportation chains (and
Innovative tools for groundwater monitoring : passive sampling combined with isotope characterization – ORIGAMI
The last European regulation relative to the quality of waters aims to reach a good ecological and chemical status before 2015. A network of measurements is thus implemented for the surveillance of water including groundwater. In this context monitoring tools are needed. The classical approach used
Potential impacts of CO2 geological storage on groundwater quality – CIPRES
France is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, which in particular includes the transposition of the European Directive on the geological storage of CO2. Indeed, groundwater protection is not explicitly taken into account in the European Directive on CO2 storage. The main actions ment
ELECtrical NANO-imPRINT for the industrial fabrication of nanoparticle-based sensors – ELECNANOPRINT
test test test test Many countries including France have recently launched ambitious R&D programs in order to promote the emergence of nanotechnologies. This strong interest is caused by the exploration of the innovative properties of nano-objects that could lead to many potential applications. For
Laser printing of organic thin film transistors – ILTO
In the frame of the project e-PLAST (ANR Blanc 2006), CINaM (Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille) and LP3 laboratories have succeeded to print for the first time an Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) by means of a laser process. This process called LIFT (Laser-Induced Forward Tran
Control of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in food products by a rational use of the oxydoreduction potential – Food-Redox
Store the food while preserving their properties, microbiological safety, and with a technology with a low environmental impact is a permanent challenge in food processing. The objective is to use a new parameter, the redox potential (Eh) that can be modulated in processes to increase the lifetime o
MULTI spectral SOLar cells based on SIlicon – MULTISOLSI
The MULTISOLSI project consists in studying, designing and optimizing the electrical junction between two relaxed lattice mismatched materials with zero or negligible strain relaxation defects, namely Ga1-xInxAs and Si in the first instance, in order to optimize a final GaAs/Si/ Ga0.24In0.76As tripl
Water Oil Laden Foam – WOLF
Our understanding of oil and aqueous foam interactions is only partial and so far, it is limited to foam stability using thermodynamic concepts such as entering coefficients and disjunction pressure. Yet, less is known on the ingestion mechanism of oil by the foam, on the transport and dispersion
