noise Assisted nonlinear Dynamics in Optomechanical Resonators – ADOR
Noise-assisted nonlinear dynamics in optomechanics with a versatile system whose central element is a suspended photonic crystal membrane including an optical cavity. These simple or coupled nano-opto-electro-mechanical resonators can be used as a basic system to pursue three main goals: stochastic amplification, noise-enhanced synchronization between coupled or uncoupled resonators, and chaos.
The Explanatory Scope of Generalized Darwinism: Towards Criteria for Evolutionary Explanations Outside Biology – GENDAR
question with the aim of determining the explanatory scope of Darwinian evolutionary theory. It targets three
Social Uses of War Ruins: Resilience, Commemorations and Heritage – RUINES
The purpose of the RUINES project is to analyse the evolution of political and social uses of wae ruines from 16th c. to the present day, as vehicles and symptoms of a systematic historical view characterised by the conversion of warlike events as tokens of a contemporary world that is essentially catastrophic and traumatic.. The central hypothesis is that the way in which societies relate to the vestiges of war says something about how they relate to the past.
Smart and innovative packaging, post-harvest rot management and shipping of organic citrus fruit – BiOrangePack
problems of this supply chain. Consistently with the scope, specific objectives include: i) Reduction (from
Shaping inequalities or building social bonds? Ceremonial economy under and after socialism in Central Asia (1960s-2020s) – CEREMONIAC
The Ceremoniac project aims to analyse and understand the rationales behind the inflation of ceremonial expenditure in Central Asian societies from the end of the Soviet period until today. It aims at questioning the production or reinforcement of inequalities, generated by these practices while they remain powerful vectors of social cohesion.
QUANTum communications with Integrated high-dimensional biphoton FrequencY states – QUANTIFY
within this context, and more precisely within the scope of quantum communication, while keeping in mind
Prescribing and modeling renovation works using Energy Efficiency Rating Scales - Socio-technical and economic analysis of a public policy instrument – PREMOCLASSE
In a context where the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) plays an increasing role in guiding the renovation sector (prioritisation of buildings to be renovated, conditioning of aid, but also modelling of energy demand, and, in the future, enforceability), PREMOCLASSE provides interdisciplinary knowledge (sociology, economics, building techno-economics).
Photovoltaic spatial light modulators for self-activated dynamic glazing – PSLM
The project focuses on a new type of self-activated smart window, called «photovoltaic spatial light modulator« (or PSLM), which could become an effective way to manage solar radiation in buildings. The project aims to improve the performance and expand the application possibilities of these novel devices.
Photoactive ligands for VEGFr two photon inactivation in retinal diseases. – Phinact
to target retinal neovascularisations within the scope of the treatment of age related macular degeneration
PARAsitoid based DEcision tools for insecticide use reduction against grape and wheat agrosystem pests – PARADE
Biological control by natural enemies’ conservation against insect pests, as the European grape-berry moths and the cereal aphids, is a promising strategy. Farmers are more and more aware of the important role that natural enemies may play on the control of crop pests. Developing decision support tools based on an early and efficient assessment of in-field parasitism rate of these pests will support them to reduce insecticides by preserving and improving the natural pest regulation.
