Ultrasound-based techniques for soft jammed materials (USOFT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"Soft materials are involved in most parts of our everyday life. In spite of a tremendous industrial importance, their properties still confront the physicists with challenging questions. Indeed, the constituents of soft materials are often stuck into a disordered structure, as for oil droplets in a concentrated emulsion like mayonnaise and for attractive particles in a colloidal gel. This phenome ...

"Leibniz’s Enlightenment. Debates on Faith and Reason in Early modern Europe, 1668-1710" (LEIBENLIG)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"The project is a historical reconstruction of the philosophical debates concerning faith and reason in the Early Modern Republic of Letters as seen through the eyes of the German polymath G.W. Leibniz (1646-1716). It will be conducted at the Centre d’Etudes en Rhétorique, Philosophie et Histoire des Idees (CERPHI UMR 5037), a research unit based at the École Normale Supérieure in Lyon. It will be ...

An adaptive multi-scale approach to the computational study of glycerol dehydration (multi-scale glycerol)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

The objective of this research is to develop and apply computational methods for the investigation of chemical reactivity in any aqueous, catalytic, or biological environment. This will result in a complete multi-scale strategy for effective and accurate investigation of these complex processes. The applicant will develop new methods for efficient electronic structure calculations and strategicall ...

SIgnals and REgulatory Networks in early plant embryogenesis (SIREN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"The focus of SIREN’s network partners within this present project is to train young biologists in using integrated approaches to study and understand SIgnals and REgulatory Networks (SIREN) in early plant embryogenesis at their internationally acknowledged European research sites. The multidisciplinary, interface-oriented approach will give fundamental insight into the regulatory system of early ...

Computing Real-World Phenomena with Dynamically Changing Complex Networks (DYNANETS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Recent advances in experimental techniques such as detectors, sensors, and scanners have opened up new windows into physical and biological processes on many levels of detail. The complete cascade from the individual components to the fully integrated multi-science systems crosses many orders of magnitude in temporal and spatial scales. The challenge is to study not only the fundamental processes ...

Conformational Dynamics of Proteins by Solid-State NMR (Protein Dynamics)

Start date: Sep 22, 2008, End date: Sep 21, 2011,

Conformational dynamics are intimately linked to the biological activity of proteins, thereby regulating the essential processes of life. In particular protein motion plays an essential role in catalysis, allowing conformational rearrangements to align key catalytic amino acids and in ligand binding allowing the entry of co-factors into areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. Mobility also pla ...
