Development of Ecological Accounting for Marine Environment – DECLAMER
Facing the actual issues that threaten the world’s biodiversity, the improvement of the accounting of the impacts and dependencies of businesses in relation to natural and human capital is an emergency. Numerous institutional frameworks call for a transformation of the economy toward a stronger sust
Privacy-preserving Approaches for Biometric Recognition Systems – PRIVABIO
Biometric recognition refers to the automated recognition of individuals based on their physical, biological or behavioural characteristics. Since biometric characteristics cannot be lost or forgotten, biometric authentication solutions are in general prefered over their password or physical token c
Exploring Twitter streams for Social and Economic impact of COVID in France. – XTCOVIF
Social media have promoted new forms of social interaction, and have changed the way people communicate and interact.

The House of Mame at Tours (1796-1975) : two centuries of publishing for young people The eponymous publishing house founded by Charles-Pierre Mame, in Angers in 1779, gave birth in Tours, a generation later, to what would become a publishing and printing empire in the 19th century. Two of Mame's so
Interactions Privé-Public dans la Production des espaces Périurbains. (Un jeu entre individus, acteurs privés et collectivités locales) – IP4
Public-Private Interactions in the Production of Suburban areas (a game between individuals, private actors and local governments) Does suburbanization yield to new models in the production of urban space ? The issue raised connects to the genesis of urban edges' areas, and of the underlying forces
A quest for biological roles of novel small RNAs discovered in a human pathogen: Helicobacter pylori – RARHePy
Gene regulation was up to recently believed to be exerted mainly by proteins. However it has become obvious that small non coding RNA may play an important role in the control of gene expression. The complete sequencing of many genomes from bacteria to mammals, led to the discovery of numerous RNAs,
Bacterial tyrosine kinases: a new class of enzymes as innovative therapeutic targets – BACTYRKIN
- - - - Protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation plays a dominant role in signal transduction networks. However, for many years, protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation was considered a cell's regulatory arsenal that was exclusive to eukaryotes and it was only after a long period of controversy t
Automatic Reformulation Search – ARS
This project focusses on automatic methods for finding alternative formulations of a given optimization problem. These are usually expressed in terms of known parameters, decision variables (which may be integer and/or continuous), objective function(s) and constraints. Although equivalent formulati
Antigen presenting cells in alloimmune response to factor VIII (FVIII): exploring innovative therapeutics through the molecular dissection of endocytic pathways – ERF8
Hemophilia A is a rare X chromosome-linked recessive disorder that concerns 1/5000 individual. Genetic abnormalities in the FVIII gene result in qualitative or quantitative defects in FVIII production. In its severe form, hemophilia A is a life-threatening, crippling hemorrhagic disease. Treatment o
Histoires et Théories de l'Interprétation – HERMES
This project aims at investigating the nature of interpretation in a plurality of disciplinary fields (such as Literature, Medicine, Law, Sciences of Religion), to identify issues and conflicts between competing theories of interpretation (especially between objective and subjective theories) and to
