Barrier island hydro-morphodynamics driven by typhoon events – KUN-SHEN
Taiwan is located in a sub-tropical region exposed to extreme meteorological events and is on the track of numerous major typhoons. More than 38 typhoons crossed Taiwan in less than 10 years. Moreover, the South-Western coast of Taiwan displays well-expressed lagoonal systems that do not exist elsew
Thermoelectricity of quantum matter – QuanTherm
There has been a recent surge in the quest for useful thermoelectric materials partly motivated by the environment-friendliness of thermoelectric refrigerators and generators. In fundamental research on electron organization in solids, thermoelectricity has emerged as a very sensitive, even if poorl
Cooperative Perception and Communication in vehicular technologies – CooPerCom
One of the main objectives of this project is to determine how we can improve the reliability and robustness aspects of the embedded systems and sensors which are becoming ubiquitous, more numerous and more complex over time. As the number of sensors and systems increases, the challenge of insuring
Information Extraction and Interpretation for multi-scale Remotely Sensed Imagery – XIMRI
Remote sensing is a key technology for the observation of the Earth. The interpretation of remote sensing images is a challenging task. In the past decades, the resolutions of remote sensing images increased drastically. From MODIS (200m), LANDSAT (30m) to QuickBird (0.6m) and GeoEye (0.5m), the s
On the origins of grammar: from structural complexity in auditory sequences to syntactic structures. – Origram
A still unresolved issue in the fields of theoretical linguistics, neurolinguistics, and cognitive psychology of language processing is how the unique ability to process syntactic structure emerged in humans, underpinning the specificity of Language Faculty (LF). Furthermore, recent research on the
CIRCULATION OF IRON PRODUCTS IN THE IRON-AGE OF EASTERN FRANCE AND SOUTHERN GERMANY: MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TOWARDS THE PROVENANCE OF ANCIENT IRON – CIPIA
The aim of the CIPIA program was to consider ferrous metals as a mean to understand a part of economical trade at the end of the Hallstatt and the beginning of La Tène. For the first iron Age (Hallstatt D : 600-475 av. JC), we studied the trade networks linked to ferrous metals and wanted to verify
Sequencing and comparative genomics of Escherichia coli plasmids: a way to understand the evolutionary success of extended-spectrum ß-lactamases – RepliColScope
The spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is becoming an extremely serious clinical and public health problem worldwide. In recent year, we have observed a dramatic increase of the resistance to the third generation cephalosporins that are regularly used for empirical therapy of Enterobacteriacea
Development and utilization of new generation phenotyping tools to analyse genetic determinants of nitrogen fertilisers use efficiency in bread wheat. – PHENOBLE
To match the increase in demand of cereals in the next 50 years, wheat yield has to be improved by 2% per year. This challenge will be met only if a new paradigm is built in wheat breeding and agronomic practices. Advances in crop productivity are related to the understanding of yield limiting facto
Unified Modelling Platform for Building and Systems Energy Efficiency – PLUMES
Digital modeling and simulation are major contributors to the current trend towards low-energy, smart buildings, and the related software tools have become indispensable in current design practices. Such approaches enable to accurately predict the energy behaviour of buildings in order to optimize d
In and ex situ link : water transport and distribution through the working ion exchange membrane – INEXTREMIS
INEXTREMIS is a fundamental research project, exploratory type, which aims to contribute to the understanding of coupled charge/mass (proton/water) transport phenomena involved in the operation of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. That in order to establish relevant links between the evolution of the
