Derivational Morphology in Extension – DEMONEXT
Demonext consists in the construction of a French morphological database (MDB) that describes the derivational properties of words in a systematic manner. The MDB will meet multiple needs, such as empirical confirmation of morphological hypothesis and elaboration of new ones, design of natural language processing (NLP) tools, vocabulary teaching and the treatment of developmental or acquired language disorders.
Impact of Fatty Acid Metabolism in Adipose Tissues and Liver on Insulin Resistance – HepAdialogue
ponsive transcription factor, ChREBP, to control de novo lipogenesis and fat cell insulin signaling. [...] sensitivity through its major role in the control of de novo fatty acid synthesis in the liver. The nuclear [...] factors will be investigated in preclinical models of type 2 diabetes and tissue samples from human cohorts
Laboratory of Excellence for Dental Applications - Consolidation – CONSO-LEAD
devices are considered, but thanks to "Agence Nationale de la Recherche" funding within the LabCom framework [...] could constitute the first large scale use for this type of materials. Ongoing developments on new zir
Elastocaloric Coupling in Polymers for Solid State Refrigeration – ECPOR
Refrigeration is used daily for the preservation of food or medicine (vaccine), for the reliability of electronic devices, as well as for the well-being of people. Based on the compression-expansion cycle of a gas, it presents some disadvantages: difficult integration in embedded systems and strong environmental impact. It is therefore necessary to develop alternative technologies in the field of solid state physics.
A Biomimetic Approach to Tissue Mechanics – BOAT
mechanical behavior of these emulsions under various types of mechanical perturbations. First we will introduce [...] analysis will allow us to distinguish between two types of behavior in the emulsion: (1) the droplets can [...] disrupted while new adhesions will have to be created de novo. The dynamical response of this emulsion, in
Integrated system of bioremediation – biorefinering using halophyte species – HaloSYS
The selected halophytes species cultivation on salt affected soils aimed on developing new value chains from obtained biomass. The work will be conducted on the monitoring the soil purification degree, the biomass and seeds yield, and their chemical composition. Possibilities of extracting active biomolecules and micronutrients from obtained biomass. A high knowledge transfer potential as alternative economic solution on bringing back into use for agricultural the farmland damaged by saltwater.
Pluralism of online news – PIL
The digitization of the media is an a priori favorable factor for the formation of plural opinions, which guarantee the proper functioning of democracy. However, this pluralism of content and sources is not in itself synonymous with quality of information. Our hypothesis is precisely that digital technology, through economic models and information practices, could affect quality by facilitating the circulation of inferior information.
Vapour-liquid-solid growth of diamond Hexagonal Silicon NanoWires – HexaNW
The calculated band structure of 2H-Si exhibits an indirect band gap at 0.95 eV (C. Rödl, et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 045207, 2015) that becomes direct in nanowires (Amato, Nano Lett. 16, 5694, 2016). The associated electronic properties make it a wonderful candidate for future nano opto-electronic devices. The goal of the project is to devise a method for preparing nanowires that would naturally possess that metastable structure.
Linking Chromatin remodelers and CTCF in mammalian Topological Domain structure and function – 3D-reMODEL
