Boosting Lignocellulose Biomass Deconstruction with Designer Cellulosomes for Industrial Applications (CellulosomePlus)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
The major bottleneck for plant biomass processing is fiber saccharification: the conversion of cell wall lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars (en route to production of value-added chemicals like second generation biofuels). Some microbes enhance this step by using natural self-assembling proteinaceous nanocatalists known as cellulosomes. CellulosomePlus targets rational design of optim ...

Ecohydrological interfaces as critical hotspots for transformations of ecosystem exchange fluxes and biogeochemical cycling (INTERFACES)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
"INTERFACES is a supra-disciplinary training and research network that aims (1) to develop conceptual process understanding of the role of ecohydrological interfaces (i.e. system boundaries) for the transport and transformation of fluxes of heat, energy and water and interlinked biogeochemical cycles (C, N, O) at micro- to landscape-scale; and (2) to create the next generation of supra-disciplinar ...

Tuning the properties of NanoCarbon with Fluorination (NANOCF)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
Low-dimensional carbon structures such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have raised tremendous interest in recent years both from fundamental and technological perspectives. However, the tunability of the density of electronic states of graphene and carbon nanotubes remains a limiting factor for their implementation in modern nanotechnology. It has been recently shown that the energy bandgap of gr ...

Complex dynamics of driven granular solids: Physics and applications (ComGranSol)
Date du début: 1 août 2013, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2017,
Granular materials are collections of macroscopic grains that interact via dissipative and nonlinear forces. These materials display a complex behavior which remains a challenging problem. The better understanding of this behavior is of great practical importance in pharmaceutical and food industries as well as in natural processes such as land sliding and avalanches. In addition, granular media a ...

Research of new marine inhibitors targeted against desease-relevant proteins kinases (OCEANCHArCoT)
Date du début: 24 juin 2014, Date de fin: 23 juin 2017,
Project OCEANCHArCoT – OCEAN CHemodiversity Against Cell cycle Targets.Protein Kinases (PKs) are involved in various human pathologies such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases or can be targeted to alter the life cycle of various parasites such as those responsible neglected parasitic diseases such as leishmaniasis and malaria. There are no physiological events not involving significant changes ...

Multiple Scattering description of Ballistic Electron Emission Miscroscope for materials used in spin injection (MS-BEEM)
Date du début: 19 mai 2014, Date de fin: 18 oct. 2016,
Spintronics is now a major challenge at the international level with the prospect of manipulating, storing and transporting the electron spin in semiconductors. This will lead to a whole new family of much faster devices, working at low power, including programmable spin transistors. It has been demonstrated that the efficiency of spin injection is strongly dependent on the structure of the interf ...
