Liquidity in Lightly Regulated Markets – Lancelot
A lightly-regulated financial market is characterized by one or more of the following features: (i) low levels of transparency regarding trading and market activity; (ii) weak reporting or disclosure obligations on the part of market participants regarding transactions, positions or leverage; (iii)
Cellular, molecular and systems-level mechanisms underlying the establishment of a brain cognitive reserve in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease – CoRehAlz
The “cognitive reserve” model suggests that individuals with greater brain reserve capacity (i.e. with higher level of education or occupational attainment) may develop resilience to neurodegenerative damage and optimize behavioral abilities through differential recruitment of neural networks and/or
Integrated resonators for multicolor infrared photodetection – INTREPID
The study of optical properties of metal nanostructures has been significantly increasing during the last decade, a field known as plasmonics, motivated by interesting properties such optical filtering and concentration of light. The development of this expertise is especially relevant to infrared i
Towards generation of new luminescent and multifunctional hybrid nanoparticles for bioimaging and biosensing – HYBIOTAG
Progress in biomedical imaging depends on the development of probes that combine low toxicity with high sensitivity, resolution, and stability. Toward that end, a new class of highly fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles with narrow size distributions and enhanced photostability, known as C do
Characterization of forms of social and economic organizations associated with « firm agriculture » – AGRIFIRME
The project « AGRIFIRME « is a research project coordinated by François Purseigle. The project began in January, 2010 and lasted 36 months. It benefited of a 139 990 euros ANR grant for a global cost of 203 091 euros. The “AGRIFIRM” project aimed to identify and characterize what is commonly refer
Modelling past and future land cover changes in the Pyrenees – MODE RESPYR
The MODE-RESPYR project (Modeling Past and future land cover changes in the Pyrenees) aims to reconstruct ancient and contemporary past land cover changes and project future possible changes at various spatial and temporal scales in the Pyrenees. Indeed, land cover changes have significant impacts
African lexicons : reference corpus, quantitative studies – RefLex
The RefLex project aims at testing a set of fundamental hypotheses concerning the structure and the evolution of African languages that are often mentioned in the literature, but whose validity was never demonstrated on an empirical basis. These hypotheses share the peculiarity that they can only be
Feeling in control of one's own action: a behavioural approach in healthy volunteers and mental diseases. – FeelInControl
Several cognitive impairments have been described in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. These deficits impact severely on the patients’ psychosocial functioning. It follows that remediating these impairments is of great benefit. However, despite important progress, the mechanisms of
Non-Gaussian Cosmostatistics and the Beginning and Evolution of the Universe – CosmoStats
The Planck space craft is mapping the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies across the entire sky with unprecedented resolution, signal-to-noise, and frequency coverage. To date, CMB observations have focused largely on the two-point correlations (or power spect
Biomarkers for electromagnetic exposures to future wireless systems – BioREF
Possible health hazards due to utilization of electromagnetic field in telecommunication technologies represent nowadays a major public worry. Due to the saturation of the lower part of the electromagnetic spectrum and the need of very high data rate transmissions, the operating frequencies of emerg
