Industrial Crops producing added value Oils for Novel chemicals (ICON)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2013,
Replacing fossil oil with renewable resources is perhaps the most urgent need and the most challenging task that human society faces today. Cracking fossil hydrocarbons and building the desired chemicals with advanced organic chemistry usually requires many times more energy than is contained in the final product. Thus, using plant material in the chemical industry does not only replace the fossil ...

A systems approach to defining membrane protein networks and applications (TranSys)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
Membrane proteins are macromolecules of huge academic and biotechnological importance. They account for ~30% of genes in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, and perform a spectrum of essential cellular functions. Despite their importance, these proteins are poorly understood with respect to membrane insertion, folding and complex formation. Even less is known of the interactions between membrane p ...

Synthetic Pathways to bio-inspired information processing (BION)
Date du début: 15 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 14 oct. 2011,
We shall use data from neuroanatomy and neurophysiology as a guide for the fabrication of deterministic and complex self-assembled networks of polymeric non linear elements with adaptive properties. The main objective is the realization of a new technology for the production of functional molecular assemblies, which can perform advanced tasks involving learning and decision making, and which can b ...

African Migrant Women (AfricanMigrantWomen)
Date du début: 17 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 16 avr. 2011,
On the margins of the EU, African women migrants can be important transmitters of social cultural practices. But in certain societies of immigration (France, Spain) these women, because of the ageing factor can be victims of some kind of discrimination. Often their husbands can replace them for new co-spouses. This situation creates tensions and that is, for the women, all the more constraining ...

"Commercialisation of Invention and the Economy of Knowledge. Britain-France, 18th Century" (C.I.T.E.K.)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2010,
"Our research project focuses on the social consequences of the diffusion of technical culture from the 18th-century to the beginning of the 19th-century. Considering the rise of audiences for technology, we would like to understand how the dissemination of useful knowledge and invention fostered public support and processes of appropriation and participation, for instance through the rise of med ...

Seismology of flaring coronal loops (FLAREseis)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2010,
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and oscillations, observed in astrophysical, laboratory and space plasmas provide us with an excellent tool for the remote diagnostics of the plasmas, which are, in particular, implemented in the techniques of solar coronal seismology, Earth’s magnetospheric magnetoseismology, and MHD spectroscopy of tokamaks. The identification of MHD modes in quasi-periodic pulsa ...

The role of adipose tissue in obesity: beta cell crosstalk (ADIBET)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008,
Obesity is an emerging threat to European health and more effective and sustainable therapies are urgently needed to tackle it. Adipose tissue is acknowledged to be a key player in lipid metabolism and plays multiple roles in regulating whole-body physiology, through the secretion of hormones called adipokines. However adipokine secretion and its mediated crosstalk with other tissues are not well ...
