Mega Array of Microphones for the Identification of Environmental aeroacoustic Sources – MAMIES
The objective of the MAMIES project is to develop a new methodology for identifying aeroacoustic sources in wind tunnels. This type of sources, resulting from the interaction of a flow and an obstacle, is at the origin of noise emissions in the environment, for example for transport or certain noise
Mediterranean thermohaline circulation sensitivity: lessens from the past for future – MEDSENS
We combine (1) reconstructions of Mediterranean conditions during high amplitude perturbation events using several proxies (indicators/tracers) with (2) numerical simulations obtained with a high spatial resolution (1/8º) regional model enabled several proxies. The target is oriented towards the ana
Medieval Spirituality: Textual sociology and the formation of interiority (12th-15th c.) – SPIRITUS
The SPIRITUS project will study the circulation and reception of widely copied spiritual texts in the central and late Middle Ages (12th – 15th c.). To do this, the project will treat a corpus of five 12th-century spiritual works known in some 1,970 manuscripts which, paradoxically, were very widely
Mechanisms of error-free lesion tolerance – GENOBLOCK
We have two main objectives: 1) Pursuing the genetic study of DNA damage tolerance and understanding the molecular mechanisms of DA in bacteria. We expect to better understand the structure of a replication fork encountering a lesion and therefore the molecular mechanisms of lesion tolerance. Combin
Mechanisms of colonization and dissemination of a bacterial pathogen in a human population, the example of Neisseria meningitidis – PATHONEM
Much has been done in the understanding of the mechanisms allowing bacteria to disseminate from their port-of-entry. On the other hand, the understanding of how bacterial pathogens colonize their niche at the port-of-entry remains poorly understood, the study of this important step has been hampered
Mechanisms of adaptation to Climate Change: how will phenotypic plasticity, microevolution and migration affect forest trees phenology ? – MeCC
In this project, we aim at studying the interplay of the three above mechanisms to describe and forecast adaptation of forest trees to climate change. More specifically, we want to (1) evaluate the adaptive value of phenotypic plasticity in current and future climates at different spatial and tempor
Measuring Acidification in the Arctic Ocean – MACAO
The Arctic Ocean is the most vulnerable region with the strongest pH decrease compared to other regions of the ocean. However, there are very few direct pH measurements due to the lack of a system for continuous measurements although efforts are being made to develop such a system. As a consequence,
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
Map simulation tool for the agro-ecological evaluation of land use change scenarios in tropical insular environment – DESCARTES (DEfinition, Simulation CARtog
Reunion, a small island in the Indian Ocean area, is characterized by a dynamic population and an economy that must scope with strong space constraints. These constraints result in land use issues such as: How Reunion agriculture can reconcile the objectives of the various sectors while contributing
Manganese Antioxidants for Delivery to Gut and Inflammation Control: design and evaluation – MAGIC
-Superoxide dismutase (SODs) are metalloenzymes involved in cellular protection against oxidative stress. Their catalytic activity of superoxide dismutation can be reproduced by low molecular weight Mn complexes, called SOD mimes (SODm). The general characteristics of SODs (redox potential, electros
