Solar wind dynamical structures, jets and switchbacks: emergence and evolution – SOLSTICES
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP), launched in 2018, has unraveled a much more dynamic solar wind than expected by previous theories and observations. In particular, it has observed many magnetic field reversals, associated with velocity jets, during its perihelia. These so-called ‘switchbacks’, have bee
Developing a material approach to model the impact of the Conquest and colonization on the Andean, African and Afro-descendant populations of northern Peru (16th - 18th centuries) – MICA
In South America, since the beginning of the 16th century, colonization introduced deep ruptures in the organization of pre-Hispanic societies of the Central Andean Area, corresponding to modern Peru. These changes have affected the daily life of these populations, disrupted by forced displacements,
Homo fabulator - The performativity of illusory representations – HomoFab
How can we explain that the publication of The Sorrows of Young Werther triggered a wave of suicides among European readers, or that the release of The Birth of a Nation resurrected a dying Ku Klux Klan? If fiction sometimes influences reality, is it not because reality itself is, at least in part,
The Body in Embodiment: Specifying the Role of Peripheral Input in Grounded Cognition – EMBODIED
There is increasing scientific attention to the role that the body plays in human mental functioning. The view is bolstered by an exponential growth in supportive evidence revealing that mental contents are often grounded in bodily experiences and that models that rely on symbolic, abstract, and amo
FIeLd grading CERamic for high voltage Applications – FILCERA
Electrical energy is essential for the devices efficiency and safety, either in civilian or military applications. Prospects for very significant gains in terms of energetic efficiency, compactness, power and robustness are highly expected for power electronic systems. Such systems evolution, requir
Nebulization of anti-viral peptides to fight against Nipah virus infection – NebuNipaStop
Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic virus of Henipavirus genus, capable of causing severe encephalitis and respiratory illness in humans. Since its emergence in 1998 in Malaysia, NiV reappeared in 2001 in India and Bangladesh, where epidemics, with an average mortality rate of 70%, are occurring almost
Active array of Quasi optical beamformers – RAFQO 2016
Thales Alenia Space (TAS-F) and IETR developed a unique know-how at the best international level on quasi-optical beamformers (FF-QO), by initiating their collaboration in the ASTRID project GRAIK. A bidirectional pillbox beamformer in Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology was designed and
Assessing CHILdren Exposure to environmental chemicals using target and non-target strategies – ACHILE
Assessing human exposure to chemicals can be carried out by measuring chemicals or their biomarkers in human specimens. This approach allows an aggregate measure of exposure that provides a picture of the amount of chemicals absorbed into the body considering all routes of uptake and all sources. A
A highly Sensitive 99mTc-NTP 15-5 SPECT imaging targeting proteoglycans for assessing ostearthritis response to innovative therapeutic approaches. – A-SPECT
Osteoarthritis (OA), in the context of an aging population, has a major impact on the quality of life of patients and is a very significant health problem in western countries. OA is a slowly, progressive, ultimately degenerative disorder of movable joints, mainly characterized by pain and functiona
Intensified Reactor Structures for Intrinsically Secure processes. – IRSIS
To develop their industrial capability in a sustainable way, the European countries have to invest in new production methods and tools. A breakthrough in chemical production could be achieved by adapting technologies for the production of key chemicals to new markets using Process Intensification (P
