The political economy consequences of international migration for origin countries. Senegalese and Malian case studies – POLECOMI
Are migrants major actors of the African political life?
Monetary Policy, Financial Constraints and International Trade – TRAMOFIN
The project wants to identify and detail microeconomic mechanisms and their interactions with aggregate dynamics, epecially in an open economy context.<br /><br />
Degradation of Amines in Liquid Matrix and Analysis : Toxicity or Innocuousness for ENvironment? – DALMATIEN
CO2 capture technologies enable to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless the most mature technology is based on CO2 absorption by organic compounds which may be slowly degraded to form new molecules. It’s necessary to make sure that no molecules detrimental to environment are emitted to atmosphere in treated flue gases. This is the aim of DALMATIEN (Degradation of Amines in Liquid Matrix and Analysis: Toxicity or Innocuousness for ENvironment?).
The effects of climate change on parasites: toward an integrative and predictive approach – INCLIMPAR
This study aims at predicting the effects of climate change on the spatial distribution of parasites while integrating both climatic and non-climatic variables in distribution models. This will be the first attempt to develop such an integrative project.
Predicting contemporary evolution and population persistence in a changing environment – ContempEvol
Combining experimental and modeling approaches to better understand and predict the eco-evolutionary dynamics observed ‘live’ in nature or in the laboratory, and disentangle their underlying mechanisms, notably the role relative contributions of genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity.
Integrative Mobile genetics Elements hijacking the bacterial Chromosome dimer resolution machinery: contribution to the emergence of new pathogenic strains. – IMEX
Bacteria possess a dedicated site-specific recombination machinery, the Xer machinery. Numerous mobile genetic elements hi-jack this machinery to integrate into the genome of their bacterial host. Their presence often correlates with the evolution towards pathogenicity of bacteria. This is notably the case for cholera epidemic strains.
Mechanism of inhibition of a novel target of beta-lactam antibiotics – CarbaTub
Emergence of resistance to multiple antibiotics requires the indentification and chartacterization of new targets for drug developement. The aim of our project is to characterize a promising target for the tretament of multidrug resistant tuberculosis
Archaeological Researches on Metal and Pottery Assemblages from the Oxus Basin to the Indus Valley during Protohistory. – ROXIANA
ROXIANA: the first attempt for analyzing ancient potteries and metal at such a scale in protohistoric Middle Asia.<br />ROXIANA was designed for a better understanding of the development of ancient technologies in Middle Asia, in a time of early urbanization North and South of Hindu Kush (5th-1st millennia BCE).<br />Pottery and metal belong to the «pyrotechnologies« (technologies of fire),a part of craftmanships that were a crucial development on the way of emergence of urban societies in the Old World.<br />
Evo-devo of the diversification and loss of dentition in Birds – PIAFS
Today, no species of bird has teeth. However, most had some at the time of dinosaurs, the Mesozoic. We aim at understanding why and how the avian dentitions have disappeared in the meantime. Then, in the Cenozoic, a now-extinct clade of seabirds, the Odontopterygiformes, evolved jawbones with tooth-like bony outgrowths. Here too, we are investigating the possible modes of development and evolution of these unique and extinct structures.
