Valuation of extra-long investments
Are we collectively too selfish, acting insufficiently for the well-being of future generations, or are we, on the contrary, too virtuous and too long-termist? These questions form the core of this re
Vapour-liquid-solid growth of diamond Hexagonal Silicon NanoWires
The calculated band structure of 2H-Si exhibits an indirect band gap at 0.95 eV (C. Rödl, et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 045207, 2015) that becomes direct in nanowires (Amato, Nano Lett. 16, 5694, 2016). The associated electronic properties make it a wonderful candidate for future nano opto-electronic devices. The goal of the project is to devise a method for preparing nanowires that would naturally possess that metastable structure.
Varying Variability
Most modern software systems (operating systems like Linux, Web browsers like Firefox or Chrome, video encoders like x264 or ffmpeg, servers, mobile applications, etc.) are subject to variation or com
Vertebrate opsins for vision restoration
Our most cherished sense, vision, begins with the process of phototransduction, a process performed by the highly specialized photoreceptor cells of the retina. Seven transmembrane proteins are respon
Virtual Patient Simulation Tool for Training Health and Social Care Staff Working with People with Alzheimer's Disease or Related dementia

Visualizing interactions between XCR1+ dendritic cells and lymphocytes and deciphering their molecular regulation
XCR1+ dendritic cells (DC) represent a minor population of immune cells in human and mouse. Yet they are strong activators of innate lymphoid cells (ILC) and CD8+ T cells, which effector responses all
Vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities of Irrigated Agriculture in North Africa
Irrigated agriculture is a major feature of the Mediterranean basin, and has expanded tremendously in the past decades, through access to a previously untapped resource, groundwater. Within the perspe
