From genes to shape-Towards development of a computable flower – Genes2Shape
From a mechanistic point of view, it is widely accepted that regulatory molecular networks interfere with the properties of the structural cellular elements (cell wall, cytoskeleton) to induce particular growth patterns. How this occurs and how this is coordinated in space is not known. To obtain a
Freedom of expression and equal participation – EgaLibEx
Philosophy and legal theory have often questioned the external limits of freedom of expression, focusing on acts of expression that are deemed to threaten other freedoms or social interests, for example defamation, incitement to racial hatred or apology for terrorism. Much less attention has been pa
Cultural Scenes, Ambiances and Urban Change – SCAENA
Cultural and creative activities are at the heart of the profound changes that are currently affecting urban societies, their territories and their development. It challenges public policies as they constitute a powerful vector of innovation, resilience of industrial territories, the production of s
Bismuth for antimonide based semiconductors – BIOMAN
The antimonide based semiconductors are the material system comprising GaSb, AlSb, InAs and all their related alloys, such as GaInAsSb or AlGaAsSb for example. They have unique properties in terms of band-gap, band-offsets and carrier effective masses, making them the materials of choice for realizi
Labour market responses to taxes: a structural approach – Structtax
Social security contribuions represent a considerable proportion of labour cost across all OECD countries (25% in 2008), rising to 40% in some continental European countries. The aim of the Structax project is to estimate the impact of social security contributions on the labour market based on e
The transition from Latin to French: constitution and analysis of a Latin-French digital corpus – PaLaFra
While there is no gap in the written record of sources preserved since Antiquity, the transition from Latin to French is still poorly understood. One of the first reasons for this is the fact that languages change continuously. Different language registers corresponding to the situation, the region,
The physics of multicellular organization in bacteria – BactPhys
We propose a novel approach to study bacterial multicellular organization based on physical mechanisms in order to identify the minimum elements of biochemical regulation required to coordinate complex processes such as bacterial clustering, stream formation, and fruiting body formation. This is a m
Excited States of BiO-relevant systems: towards ultrafast DYnamics with conformational Resolution – ESBODYR
While the absorption of light by biomolecules is ubiquitous in Nature and used in many fields of research, the understanding of the underlying ultrafast process following the photon absorption is still limited. In this project,conformer-selective excited state dynamics of bio-relevant systems (isola
Arakelov geometry and Diophantine geometry – Gardio
Since the end of the 19th century, the analogy between number fields and function fields has played a crucial role in arithmetic geometry. The interpretation of this analogy in the geometric framework has led to the definition of arithmetic varieties over the ring of integers of a number field.
Groups, Actions, Metrics, Measures and Ergodic theory – GAMME
These subjects have witnessed major progress in the last fifteen years, thanks to an increasing convergence between them. Our goal is to internationally disseminate the knowledge on these thematics, through postdoctoral positions, conferences and advanced courses. We also wish to stimulate young mat
