Premodern Philosophic and Scientific Hebrew Terminology: Studies on its Emergence and the Creation of an Internet-Based Historical Lexicon – PESHAT
The creation of the pre-modern Hebrew scientific and philosophical terminology began at the end of the first millennium C.E. and lasted until the 16th century. We wish to study systematically and create a lexicon of this pre-modern specialized Hebrew vocabulary in the disciplines of philosophy (incl
Astronomical time scale for the Cenozoïc and Mesozoïc era. – ASTS-CM
Background: International project for a Cenozoic-Mesozoic Astronomically-Tuned Time Scale Due to planetary perturbations, the orbit of the Earth is slowly changing in time, as is the orientation of its spin axis. These changes induce variations of the insolation on Earth (Milankovitch, 1941) that af
Galactic Archaeology: A Radial Velocity Experiment to Unveil the History of the Milky Way – RAVE
RAVE (RAdial Velocity Experiment) is an ongoing and ambitious program to measure precise radial velocities and chemical abundances of a million nearby stars, using the UK Schmidt Telescope and the 6dF multi-object fibre spectrometer at Siding Spring Observatory (Australia). RAVE will be a giant leap
Processing of Polychromatic Interferometric Data for Astrophysics – POLCA
By combining the light from several telescopes, Optical Interferometry (OI) provides the highest angular resolution (milliarcsecond resolution) in many fields such as stellar physics, star and planet formation, and environment of extra galactic black holes. In this field, the pioneering work in Fran
Bayesian hierarchical inversion for mass spectrometry. Application to discovery and validation of new protein biomarkers. – BHI-PRO
The general scientific and economic goals are to improve the efficiency of the discovery, validation and marketing of protein biomarkers. Mass spectrometry (MS) based studies significantly shorten the delay with respect to standard immunoassays approaches and give directly access to multidimensional
Archaeal DNA Repair – CoCoGen
Today, 506 genome sequences are available, among which 80% are bacterial, and another 2400 are ongoing genome projects. Comparative genomics is a major challenge in post-genomic biology. Identifying common genomic structures, as well as differences between genomes is a prerequisite to understand gen
Caractérisation multi-longueurs d'ondes des propriétés statistiques de la population des amas de galaxies pour l'étude de la physique de formation et d'évolution des structures – EPAMASSTAT
Our study is based on the exploitation of X-ray selected samples (from the XMM-Newton satellite), we combine the X-ray signal to the gravitational lensing signal to optimise the mass determination of clusters. We also work on the construction and the exploitation of the catalogue of clusters from t
Séquençage de la vigne – Sequençage Vigne
The aim of the project is to make a 6X shotgun sequencing of the Vitis vinifera genome to complete a 6X shotgun sequence generated by Génoscope (3X) and by an Italian consortium (3X). The shotgun sequence will be assembled using complementary data like BAC end sequences. The sequence contigs will be
Genetic Clusters to determine Asthma risk and Treatment decisions – GenCAST
Asthma is a frequent disabling chronic respiratory disease. In France, asthma prevalence in children is 11%. Global asthma related costs are high ($81.9 billion in USA). It is a complex multifactorial disorder resulting from the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Asthma is a hetero
Knowledge Integration for Digital convolution, Image Segmentation and Measurement – KIDICO
In image processing, the solution to any problem requires the use of knowledge concerning the acquisition device and the imaging domain. Our research deals with the development of approaches in image processing and segmentation based on discrete geometry, discrete topology and mathematical morpho
