Table Maker's Dilemma – TaMaDi
In floating-point (FP) arithmetic having fully-specified “atomic” operations is a key-requirement for portable, predictable and provable numerical software. Since 1985, the four arithmetic operations are IEEE specified (it is required that they should be correctly rounded). This is not fully the cas
Modèlisation et simulation des impacts multiples dans les systèmes mécaniques multicorps – Multiple Impact
The goal of this project is to study so-called multiple-impact laws, with and without friction, in order on one hand to improve the capabilities of numerical methods, on the other hand to better understand the dynapics of nonsmooth multibody mechanical systems. The two aspects (theory and numerics)
Génomique évolutive des chromosomes X et Y de Silene latifolia, une plante dioïque – siXY
Sex chromosomes are unusual chromosomes. They are the very important players in differences between men and women because of their role in sex determination and sexual dimorphism. Mutations on sex chromosomes are considered a major source of human genetic diseases, including developmental abnormalit
Interaction and Transport at a Mesoscopic Scale - Experiments – ITEM-Exp
The goal of the project is to reveal and characterize electron interactions in semiconductor nanostructures like quantum point contacts. These interactions are indeed strong at low electron density (below the first conductance plateau) and are thought to be responsible for the conductance anomalies
Evaluation of anti-inflammatory properties of different sources of wheat grain dietary fibres – WHEAFI
The consumption of 25g to 35g of dietary fibers a day for adults is recommended in most of the countries. This objective is far from being reached in particular in France where the average consumption is about 17g / day. . Cereal products can contribute to increase the consumption of dietary fibers
In vivo mechanical identification of tissues using medical imaging – IMANDEF
IMANDEF is a project in biomechanics. The scientific objective is to enhance the constitutive equations used for modelling the mechanical behaviour of soft tissues in the human body. This entails developing numerical tools and experimental systems for characterizing the in vivo mechanical properties
Stratosphere impact on tropical climate – STT-CLIM
Until the 1990s, the scientific community that was studying climate, its variability and evolution, had no specific interest for the middle-atmosphere. However, lately, several institutes have intensifed their efforts in order to study the influence of the stratosphere on the climate. Traditionnally
El-Niño : lessons from the past using simulations and observations – ELPASO
plus tard plus tard plus tard plus tard The El-Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the major mode of climate variability in the tropical regions (Philander, 1990). It is a manifestation of the strong ocean-atmosphere coupling in the tropical Pacific and occurs every 2 to 7 years. Its monitoring, und
Séquençage du génome de la vigne – SGV
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
Off-label Use in Psychiatric Specialty – PSYHAMM
Psychiatric diseases are a public health priority: they represent almost 20% of health spending and if we add the direct and indirect costs costing almost double the cost of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. Drug prescriptions shows a field where the therapy is evolving with more or less
