The practice of sustainable mobility in Latin American cities: a comparative study of Bogotá (Colombia) and Lima (Peru) – MODURAL
The project examines the sustainability of commuting to work and to places of study in two Latin American metropolises (Bogotá and Lima). The latter bring together 10 million inhabitants and are marked by strong socio-residential segregation and a growth model that favours sprawl on the outskirts ra
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
The molecular mechanisms underlying the transition from acute to chronic pain! Insights from an unconventional Myosin protein – Myochronic
Transition from acute to chronic pain represents a major medical problem worldwide. Its impacts on health care costs and social lives of patients are dramatic. Chronic inflammatory, neuropathic or postoperative pain occurs as a consequence of aberrantly prolonged sensitization of pain pathways both
The Starch Food Niche: Human Adaptation, Genes and Culture – Starch4Sapiens
Starch4Sapiens aims to analyze and compare the biological and behavioral changes that made possible efficient starchy food metabolization which occurred in Eurasia between the Upper Pleistocene and Neolithic (from ca 126 ka to 12 ka, 6). Our hypothesis is that regular consumption of large amounts of
The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe at Next-to-Leanding Order – COSMO@NLO
The recent highlighting of an accelerated expansion of the universe is a fantastic challenge in fundamental physics. Identifying the origin of this acceleration remains a widely open question: it could be a new component in the energy content of the universe as well as a modification of the laws of
The LISP-Lab Platform for Future Internet Services – LISP-Lab
The ever-increasing growth of the Internet, accelerated by the massive deployment of mobile data services, raises scalability and performance issues that need to be addressed for the sake of a more robust Internet infrastructure. These issues are mostly due to the use of a single IP numbering space
The CUltural crucible : the Reorganization and Renewal of Institutions in the CUltural capitals LAndscape - CURRICULA – CURRICULA
The project confronts (1) cities of southern Europe (Marseille, Genoa, Bologna) and from the north (Wrockaw and Umeå), (2) cities recently designated «European Capitals of Culture« (Marseille - ECC 2013, Umeå - ECC 2014, Wrockaw - ECC 2016) and cities that were formerly elected ECC in the past (Geno
The Bureau des longitudes (1795-1932): from French Revolution to Third Republic – BDL1795-1932
Nowadays researchers have to encourage the development of scientific and technical culture, thus promoting an interdisciplinary and comparative reflection on the interrelations between science and society. The ANR project “BDL1795-1932 works in this perspective; starting from the study of an institu
The Ambient Assisted Living joint programme based on article 185
The AAL JP 4 th call aims at ICT based solutions which help older persons to sustain their optimal level of mobility for as long as possible, enhancing their individual sense of confidence, autonomy, competence, security and safety. The call addresses issues that inherently enable older perso
The Ambient Assisted Living joint programme (AAL) article 185
The ANR and CNSA in association with AAL joint programme (AAL JP) are launching the 4 th call for projects “ICT based solutions for Advancement of Older Persons’ Mobility” . The AAL JP is a demand-driven research and development funding programme for innovative ICT based products,
