Scenarios for innovative management of urban wastewaters based on source separation – DESIGN
While centralized purification systems are encouraged to move towards recovery channels, it is becoming increasingly evident that certain issues are difficult to meet in a «sewage« approach. Dilution and mixing lead to certain barriers. The source separation of urban effluents (brown water, gray wat
Trichogramma for plant protection: Pangenomics, Traits, and establIshment Capacities – TriPTIC
Several initiatives were launched to regulate the use of chemical inputs including pesticides (e.g. European Directive REACH) and France has adopted the Ecophyto 2018 plan aiming at reducing pesticide use. In this context, the development of effective biological control programs against pests has be
Genetic Databases and Witnesses. Genealogy, Social issues, Circulation – FiTeGe
In a context of the increasing technicisation of police and legal investigations, the emergence of genetic analyses has substantially changed practices in this field. More generally, new professional tools are being developed, which evolve, give rise to new moral and political controversies, and cir
Magnetic bistability in new molecular systems based on bridging anionic ligands – BISTA-MAT
The BISTA-MAT project, gathering four complementary groups which are recognized in their respective fields (Brest: Partner 1, Nancy: Partner 2, Bordeaux: Partner 3 and Versailles: Partner 4), deals with molecular bistability which is, undoubtedly, one of the most searched properties in molecular mat
Mathematics: Objectivity by representation – MathObRe
The aim of our project is to argue for a twofold (hypo)thesis: (a) Mathematical representations established by stipulations contribute to the constitution of mathematical ontology and to shaping of mathematical reasoning. (b) Mathematical object-constitution is analogous to scientific object-const
Attraction and Selection in Cultural Evolution – ASCE
In recent years, important theoretical advances have clarified the relationship between biological and cultural evolution and raised the question of the balance between selection and directed transformations occurring during transmission. Ideally, transmission chains experiments, in which the result
GEOVIDE, An international GEOTRACES study along the OVIDE section in the North Atlanctic and the Labrador Sea – GEOVIDE
The main objectives of the GEOVIDE project are to (i) better know and quantify the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and the carbon cycle in a decadal variability context, adding new tracers; (ii) map the Trace Element and Isotope (TEI) distribution with their physical and chemical speciation
New Implications of Lyman-Alpha forests for Cosmology – NILAC
Merging the expertise of experimentalists and theorists, the aim of this project is to optimally exploit the information embedded in quasar spectra in order to provide the tightest constraints to date on neutrino masses, on inflation, and on the nature of dark matter. Specifically, it will address t
exo-PlanetarY high-Temperature Hydrocarbons by Emission and Absorption Spectroscopy – e-PYTHEAS
In order to analyze the large number of hot and complex spectra of brown dwarfs, exoplanets and AGBs available today and to infer unique information on the chemistry and dynamics of their atmospheres, new spectroscopic parameters are needed. Water vapor and methane are the main opacity sources det
Art and Architecture in German Travel Accounts to Paris and Versailles in the Baroque Era – ARCHITRAVE
The project aims at scrutinizing the content of six substantial German travel accounts dating from 1685 to 1723, the only hitherto known from the baroque era in which profound and reasoned judgements and opinions on French art and architecture have been rendered. These manuscripts and printed docume
