Theory of strongly correlated photonic systems (CORPHO)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,

"The physics of complex quantum systems with controllable interactions is emerging as a fundamental topic for a broad community, providing an opportunity to test theories of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems and opening interesting applications such as quantum simulators. Recently, in solid-state structures with effective photon-photon interactions the rich physics of quantum fluids of ...

Dynamics-aerosol-chemistry-cloud interactions in West Africa (DACCIWA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

"Massive economic and population growth and urbanisation are expected to lead to a tripling of anthropogenic emissions in southern West Africa (SWA) between 2000 and 2030, the impacts of which on human health, ecosystems, food security and the regional climate are largely unknown. An assessment of these impacts is complicated by (a) a superposition with effects of global climate change, (b) the st ...

Arithmetic of automorphic motives (AAMOT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2018,

The primary purpose of this project is to build on recent spectacular progress in the Langlands program to study the arithmetic properties of automorphic motives constructed in the cohomology of Shimura varieties. Because automorphic methods are available to study the L-functions of these motives, which include elliptic curves and certain families of Calabi-Yau varieties over totally real fields ( ...

Clonal evolution in acute leukemia: from molecular and functional profiling towards therapeutic intervention (CEVAL)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

"Clonal evolution represents a driving force for cancer cells and a major challenge for therapy. There is a long-standing knowledge that clonal diversification and selection allows cancer cells to pass through distinct steps of transformation. More recently has emerged the concept that ""more malignant"" leukemia subclones can persist after treatment leading to relapse. My research is focused on t ...

ECO innovative methodologies for the valorisation of construction and urban waste into high grade TILES (LIFE ECO TILES)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Background Currently, more than half of all materials extracted globally (over three billion tonnes/year in the EU only) are transformed for use in construction. The EU aims to reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector by recycling or re-using large amounts of these materials, thus reducing the consumption of raw materials and helping pro ...

Drying of complex fluids on soft substrates (SOFTEVA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2017,

"The study of soft materials has received a growing attention in last decades.Broadly speaking, these materials present viscoelastic properties giving them the ability to be highly deformable.Recently, new interests have been found in the wetting of soft deformable surfaces because of the many applications in material science, chemistry and biology for cosmetics, medicine, new printing technologie ...

Reconsidering Niels Bohr's Interpretation of Quantum Physics (BOHRREC)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"This project aims at a deeper understanding of Niels Bohr’s philosophical thought on quantum mechanics. Bohr was one of the creators of what is known as the old quantum theory, developed in the years 1913–1925, and one of the most influential interpreters of the new quantum theory, which was developed in 1925–1927 and is the version accepted by physicists today.Though influential, Bohr’s thought ...

Dual cancer nanotherapies combining magnetic and plasmonic hyperthermia (DUALNANOTHER)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

This project is designed to provide answers to questions not yet covered in the literature regarding hyperthermia cancer therapy based on the activation of magnetic and/or plasmonic nanomaterials. It aims at understanding and measuring nanoparticle-based heat-generating potential in environments that gradually approach the in vivo situation. The originality of the approach proposed is to combine i ...

Monitoring Genetically Modified Organisms in Food and Feed by Innovative Biosensor Approaches (GMOsensor)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Most of transgenic plants are derived from crops of worldwide critical importance to food and feed producers: soybean, maize, rapeseed and cotton. Although the advantages presented by the genetically modified organisms (GMO), such as herbicide tolerance or resistance to insects, their cultivation has raised numerous concerns in the European Union (EU) and other parts of the world about food safety ...

Circulating modernity: the role of student missions sent to Europe in the scientific and social modernization of pre-colonial Morocco (1873-1912) (EuroMoroccanScience)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

The proposed project will analyze the scientific and social modernization of pre-colonial Morocco resulting from the circulation of young medical, scientific and engineering students in Europe in the period 1873-1912. This general aim will be achieved by: I. Mapping the identity, family background, social extraction and previous education of Moroccan students; II. Determining the actual scientific ...
