Adaptation to variable pesticide doses – SilentAdapt
The massive use of pesticides since the 50's was a major revolution in our societies (agonomy, medecine). The evolution of resistance in treated organisms is a situation where the process of adaptation has the most immediate consequences on a massive scale. It is however often envisioned in a simplified ecological context. The originality of this project is to focus on the impact of gradient and low doses of pesticide.
Lanthanide complexes as Trojan Horse for proteins structural studies – Ln23
The Ln23 project proposes to exploit lanthanide complexes noted [Ln], as Trojan Horses for structural determination of proteins by developing original and straightforward methodologies for three complementary structural techniques, namely X-ray crystallography including crystallogenesis, Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and solid-state NMR. Ultimately, the dissemination of these new integrative tool in the structural biology community.
Social Mobility, Social Exclusion and Social Networks – SOSOSO
The object of this research project is to analyse the impact of social networks on two distinct but related phenomena: social mobility and social exclusion. The key role played by networks on mobility and exclusion has been widely documented in the social sciences, particularly in sociology, but ignored in economics. Our objective in this project is to shed new light on this literature by importing recently developed concepts in network economics.
Dynamic Matching and Interactions: Theory and Experiments – DynaMITE
The objective of this project is to develop a new generation of theoretical models of dynamic matching, voting and networks by embedding static decisions in dynamic models represented by Markov processes. The project is subdivided into three sub-projects. Dynamatch is devoted to the study of dynamic matching problems., Dynavote focuses on dynamic voting models. Dynanet is a project on dynamic formation of networks.
New Religiosities in Turkey: Reenchantment in a Secularized Muslim Country ? – NEORELIGITUR
This project intends to study the emergence and development of new religiosities in Turkey, a secularized Muslim country. Using diachronic and synchronic standpoints, it raises the question - until now not tackled by research on religions in Turkey, which is dominated by studies on Islam (Sunnism, Alevism) and Sufism -, - of religious reconfigurations, of their forms and registers, and of their historical complexity.
Living Together: Society and urbanism of an antique City of Italy. – VESUVIA
The aim of the project is to conduct an innovative archaeological study mobilizing all available sources, From the 18th c. the site has been excavated by a system of tunnels whose objective was to recover artefacts, works of art, antique decor elements to feed the collections of the kings of Naples. The archaeological study of Herculaneum therefore requires first to discover the context of all elements of material culture.
Algebraic Complexity – CompA
An algebraic version of the «P=NP ?« problem
Mate choice for good genes or compatible genes : an integrative approach with a focus on the major histocompatibility complex – CMatecHoice
Nowdays, biodiversity is disappearing at a speed a thousand times superior to the historical rate, thus mortgaging our future. Mate choice of partner is a true architect of biodiversity.
Making invisible powers present in the Himalayas – présencedesprits
This program of primary anthropological research aims to contribute to the renewal of our understanding of possession in general (including shamanism) through 1) the study of the various ways in which invisible powers are made present, including their many material representations (artefacts, ritual language, natural events) and 2) the comparative study of these through their variations and transformations in Himalayan societies.
