Competition and Bargaining in Vertical Chains – CBVC
Vertical chains designate industry structures where some firms (at the upstream level) supply other firms (at the downstream level). Imperfect competition usually prevails at both levels, and upstream and downstream firms also bargain with one another.
PhotoSwitchable Chain Magnet – PhotoSCM
This project is developped in the M3 (“magnetic Molecular Materials”) group of the CRPP (Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal) located at Pessac. It also involves a strong collaboration with the “molecular science “ group of the ICMCB (Institut de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Bordeaux). The project consists in the preparation and characterizations of photo-switchable single-chain magnets, made of the one-dimensional assemblies of Single Molecule Magnets (SMM) and photomagnetic building blocks.
Nanosecond data analysis by fiber Bragg grating in energetic materials – ANDROMEDE
The understanding of the transition processes in energetic materials is essential for safety and performances. The ANDROMEDE project aims to open new fields in dynamic measurement with fiber Bragg gratings using ultra-fast spectrometry. The goal of the project is to achieve the measurement of the shock velocity and pressure distributions. For this purpose, two optoelectronic diagnostics with sub –millimeter spatial resolution will be developed and tested on specific experimental setups. <br /><br />
Composites with Controllable Conductivity layers for Hyper frequency Applications – 3CAH
The aim of the 3CAH project is to design new composite materials presenting controllable conductivities. The composite structures generally associate hearts and skins dielectric materials which ensure
Catalytic biogas conversion under polarization – POLCA
The main objective of the project is to contribute to the deeper understanding of the various phenomena involved in the catalytic reforming reactions of fuels to produce hydrogen when the catalytic pr
The Evolution of the French Preposition System – PRESTO
Diachronic study of the use, semantics and discourse values of a number of simple prepositions from Old French (9th century) to the present.
The life of Greek portraits – EIKON
The research project concentrates on portrait statues from the Ancient Greek world from the 5th to the 1st centuries BC. The idea is to study the dynamic processes of transmission, reception and changes from when they were erected to when they were destroyed. Studying from one side the “portrait practices”, such as coronations, repairs or honorary customs based on them and from the other side their “recontextualisation”, in other words the alterations in their environment or their utilizations.
Morphological and multi-wavelength constraints on the coeval growth of galaxies and their super-massive black holes – MORPHOSTAR
MORPHOSTAR consists in an original program with the aim of connecting simultaneously the structural characteristics of distant star-forming galaxies with (i) the stellar mass they have already built, (ii) their current rate of star-formation and (iii) their activity of nuclear accretion. This work is based on the analysis of high resolution imaging obtained with the Hubble space telescope, combined with the use of hydro-dynamical simulations of galaxy formation.
