Functional aspects and physisopathological impact of intracytoplasmic lipid inclusions in mycobacteria – ILIome
Infection with M.tb leads to the formation of granulomas in the lung, where some of the infected macrophages accumulate lipids in lipid bodies (LB) giving the cells a foamy appearance. In such foamy macrophages (FM), M.tb is able to hydrolyze host lipids into fatty acids that are reused as lipid res
Platform to analyse Floating-Point arithmetic – INTERFLOP
Intensive usage of floating-point (FP) arithmetic in today’s real software affect numerical quality and reproducibility of program. The problem of the detection, localization and correction of numerical bug is entering a new area with the tremendous increases in computational horsepower needed to ad
LSMO uncooled bolometer for THz applications – BOLOTERA
Today, a consensus has emerged to say that detection in the terahertz (THz) band [100 GHz – 10 THz] - or millimeter / sub-millimeter wavelength ranges – could help to answer to several important societal issues, such as material detection/identification, non-destructive testing or security imaging.
Micro-Plasma synthesis of heterostructures of 2D films of Boron Nitride and Graphene – PlasBoNG
The PlasBoNG project aims to develop a new energy-efficient micro-plasma reactor operating at high pressure (100s mbar) and low temperature ( < 800 °C) for the synthesis of large surface areas (10s cm2) of films and heterostructures of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphene, and to understand t
Architecture of complex systems in intelligent immersion – ArchiTOOL
To address the limitations of current systems engineering tools, the project is based on three complementary technological levers: virtual reality, intelligent assistance, and unified interactive modeling. On one hand, an immersive virtual reality environment was developed to replace low expressiven
Multi-disciplinary design approach of Eco-Innovations MULTI-users and MULTI-cycles of upgrade – MULTi-Eco-Innov
The prospect of upgradability and sharing of everyday consumer goods is emerging as a promising ecological path, suggesting an optimization of the resources involved, including raw materials, energy and labor, and a reduction of the harmful environmental impacts associated with conventional modes of
Antimicrobial peptides nanodelivery systems based on Aptamers/Mesoporous silica nanoparticles – ALES
The excessive use of antibiotics has led to emergence of bacteria strains, which are resistant to a range of antimicrobials, including first-choice agents for the treatment of humans. By 2050, the death toll caused by the antimicrobial resistance could exceed the one related to cancer and diabetes c
Electro-molecular signature of the subthalamic nucleus-related functional territories for an accurate electrode implantation and directional stimulation – CuSTIMprint
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has now become a mainstay of functional neurosurgery in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The interest of its indication in obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) is currently assessed in several clinical trials since some groups have demonstrated
Active functional devices using PARity-TIme SYMmetry Optics – PARTISYMO
The progress of nanotechnologies has triggered the emergence of many photonic artificial structures: photonic crystals, metamaterials, plasmonic resonators. Recently the intriguing class of PT-symmetric devices– referring to Parity-Time symmetry – has attracted much attention. Their distinctive feat
