Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in ciliates: proximal causes and long-term evolutionary consequences – INFERNO
Small RNAs are very often used in eukaryotes as genomic ‘immune systems’ to control transposable elements. They have also been implicated in non-Mendelian inheritance phenomena in a variety of organisms. We propose to use the ciliate P. aurelia to shed some new phylogenetic light on the evolutionary
Multi-scale regionalization and monitoring of soil evaporation from readily available data and a mixed modeling approach – MIXMOD-E
Agronomic, hydrologic, meteorologic and climatic predictions rely on a multi-scale representation of soil evaporation over extended areas. The partitioning of evapotranspiration into soil evaporation and plant transpiration is important for modeling vegetation water uptake, land surface-atmosphere i
Development of an ultra-thin monitor for charged particle beams – PEPITES
Proton therapy is a cancer-fighting technique using proton beams, which allows better preservation of healthy tissue than conventional radiotherapy while remaining effective in destroying tumours. However, during the treatment, the correct delivery of the dose requires continuous and precise measure
Insecurity and spaces: social distribution and political participation – INSOCPOL
Spatial analysis is a time-honored thread of the observation of crime. The background of this interest was migration and those neighbourhoods where immigrants moved in. Focus on spaces has reemerged in particular in the last third of the 20th century through attention given to urban disorders. Studi
Vapour-liquid-solid growth of diamond Hexagonal Silicon NanoWires – HexaNW
2H silicon nanowires NWs have been obtained at LPICM, in the plasma-enhance chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) reactor PLASFIL (J. Tang, et al. Nanoscale 9, 8113-8118, 2017). The goal of the project is to understand how the 2H polytype naturally forms in NWs prepared by PECVD vapour-liquid-solid gr
Online index of biblical quotations in the literature of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages – BIBLINDEX
The BIBLINDEX project is supported by the Institut des Sources Chrétiennes, a CNRS research team in patristics, currently enjoying a high level of international recognition through its series of published editions. The project is based on the resumption of Biblia Patristica, printed indexes of bibli
Instruction, information, communication, education. Medical and sanitary film in France, 1900-1960 – MedFilm
A systematic and massive appeal to communication campaigns for the preservation of the population’s health has been reinvested in a number of health policies following sanitary health crises at the end of the 20th century (New Public Health). Since the beginning of the 20th Century “knowing how to p
STructuring by Inversion the Local InterStellar Medium – STILISM
Our objective is to provide a realistic and detailed three-dimensional (3D) mapping of the interstellar matter (ISM) distribution in the Sun vicinity, within a kiloparsec wide volume. This 3D distribution of gas and dust, based on the inversion of distance-limited data and their combination with int
Laboratory convection experiments with internal, non-contact, microwave generated heating, applied to Earth’s mantle dynamics – TERRA-MWH
The first objective of this project is to develop a novel, specific MW generator type, firmware controlled from an embedded system, and to use it for mixed convection experiments. In convection experiments, a certain number of parameters (viscosity, density) of the experimental fluids need to be mod
Mieux prévoir l’évolution de la neige en présence d’impuretés : entretien avec Marie Dumont, lauréate des prix « Jeunes Chercheurs » de l’EGU et l’IUGG
Quelles impuretés absorbantes se déposent dans la neige et pourquoi étudiez-vous plus précisément leur devenir au sein du manteau neigeux ? Marie Dumont : Des particules en suspension dans l’air, telles que le carbone suie ou des poussières minérales comme le sable saharien, peuvent se dépose
