Dark Estuaries: Mapping coastal aquifer biodiversity in a changing world
Subterranean estuaries extend inland into coastal aquifers inhabited by a surprising diversity of subterranean animals with peculiar ecological and evolutionary features.How comple...
Achieving a new European Energy Awareness.
AURORA aims at an innovative long-term citizen engagement with energy sustainable behaviours empowering civil society to adopt a leading role in the energy cycle and to be real act...
Resolving the Perceptual Prediction Paradox
Our sensory receptors are bombarded with noisy, continuous streams of information.From these streams, our brains must construct percepts that are (1) veridical representations of t...
State-of-the-art simulations of quantum many-body systems with the next-generation tensor network algorithms
One of the biggest and most relevant challenges in physics is the accurate study of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, which give rise to very remarkable phenomena like...
Cosmochronology within the stellar neighbourhood: Leaving no star and planet behind
The stellar population near the Sun, which contains the brightest specimens of almost all types of stars and planets, is a key research area that remains poorly explored.The spacec...
Towards the discovery of cellular RNA-binding proteins with master regulatory roles in virus infection
RNA is a central molecule for RNA virRNA is a central molecule for RNA virus infection. However, viral genomes encode very few proteins that are able to interact with viral RNA. He...
GAIA-BInaries: Formation and fundamental pRoperties Of Stars and planeTary systems
Systems with close stellar-mass or planetary-mass companions are ubiquities in the universe. However, the processes that shape the architecture of these systems are still not under...
Atomically dispersed iridium catalysts for efficient and durable proton exchange membrane water electrolysis
The “green hydrogen” produced by water electrolysis using renewable energy as power input will play a vital role in the decarbonization of various sectors, particularly the heavy i...
Computationally-enhanced molecular sensing using optical frequency combs
Air pollution is an increasingly important concern in larger cities and industrial areas.To date, much attention has been devoted to monitoring of particulate matter (PM), yet sens...
Selfish Genome Exclusion under Hybridogenesis
Selfish genetic elements increase their transmission at the expense of others. The ultimate reasons for their increased transmission are generally well understood.However, the mole...
Catalytic Reforming of Glycerol to Hydrogen and Biopropane in Hydrothermal Media
The ultimate goal of this 15 months Fellowship, entitled “Catalytic Reforming of Glycerol to Hydrogen and Biopropane in Hydrothermal Media” (HYDROGAS) is to train a talented resear...
Reprogramming of the leukemic microenvironment by small extracellular vesicles: from characterization to therapeutic application
The proposed program, to be developed by Dr Pablo Morande, aims at investigating interactions between chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B-cells and their microenvironment, with a...
A Novel Rapid Nucleic Acid Isolation Microchip Intergrated in the FASTGENE PCR Microfluidics Device for Point of Care Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases
The catastrophic impact of infectious diseases including the recent coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic on global health cannot be over emphasized.Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based...
Sleep microstructure in Parkinson's Disease and REM-sleep Behavior Disorder
Idiopathic REM sleep Behavior Disorder (iRBD), a condition characterized by abnormal behaviors during sleep associated with dream enactment, is considered a prodromal state of Park...
From chromatin fibers to lamina-associated domains: what are the recognition determinants?
Lamina-associated domains (LADs) are large chromatin domains anchored to a protein meshwork coating the inner nuclear envelope, the nuclear lamina (NL). They cover 40% of the human...
The Invisible Women: Nameless and Forgotten Stories of the Rubber Boom (Bolivian Amazonia, 19-20th centuries)
Mainly limited to a male gaze, the history of the Rubber Boom in Bolivian Amazonia (1870-1920) seems to be somewhat biased.The sources of the period present us with a hyper-masculi...
Beyond hydrodynamics
What do black holes and particular exotic materials, where strong correlations preclude any description based on weakly-coupled quasiparticles, have in common?Their low energy dyna...
Hopf algebroids in quantum differential geometry
While cohomology theories of various kinds are known on algebras, here we explore the much harder problem of what is the ‘homotopy’ of an algebra as a geometric object? For example...
Intra and inter-generational effects of heatwaves on sexually selected traits and reproductive success
Heatwaves are a current problem faced by society and are increasing in frequency and intensity under ongoing climate change.While many climate change studies exist, those investiga...
KNOWLEDGE FOR PREVENTION. TECHNIQUES FOR REPAIRING SEISMIC DAMAGE FROM MEDIEVAL PERIOD TO MODERN ERA
Techniques for repairing seismic damages are specific solutions implemented in buildings to combat, mitigate or prevent the earthquake effects.Although this type of technique was u...
