Development of a clinical protocol for the validation of a detection test for ??amyloid aggregates in retinal scan images.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is difficult to detect early before apparent manifestations of cognitive decline. Current detection methods rely on expensive and hardly accessible imaging techniques (PET scans). Optina Diagnostics developed a new camera as well as innovative image processing methods to propose a non-invasive test to identify the presence of […]

Grandir les hassidim de demain : l’expérience de New York

Comment les enfants grandissent-ils au sein des communautés juives hassidiques de New York ? Quelles représentations guident les pratiques des mères dans ce processus ? De quelle façon le genre, la langue et l’école sont pensés et interviennent dans la socialisation des enfants ? Et enfin, comment se déroulent les interactions entres mères et enfants […]

Sex: It’s a matter of the heart

Heart failure is a complex cardiovascular disease with increasing global burden while the prognosis for patients remains poor. Risk factors and the type of heart failure differ between men and women. These differences can be due to sex – referring to biological differences – or gender – referring to social differences. In our project we […]

Les stratégies de pensée critique?des étudiant·e·s sur le Web social

Des fausses nouvelles aux the?ories du complot, la question de l’e?valuation de l’information est au cœur de l’actualite? sociale, e?conomique ou environnementale. En effet, pour certains, Internet et les re?seaux sociaux contribueraient a? la diffusion de rumeurs vis-a?-vis desquelles les jeunes et, par conse?quent, les e?tudiant·e·s ne seraient pas suffisamment outille?s. Pourtant, plusieurs de ces […]

Up-res Deformation Field Learning for Highly Detailed Data-driven Liquids

The objective of the proposed project is to procedurally increase the visible resolution of a coarse liquid simulation within a machine learning pipeline for the visual effects (VFX) industry. We introduce an optical flow-based learning approach to model the deformations between a coarse input liquid simulation and its equivalent at a higher resolution. The deformation […]

Development and optimization of a new roll-to-roll atmospheric pressure plasma reactor: deposition of functional nanocomposite coatings on polymer and paper rolls

Wood and wood-related substances have been among the most important materials in human history. Today, various forms of wood are being used in numerous industries, and therefore a significant market exists for improved and functionalized wood-based products. In this context, we’re proposing an atmospheric-pressure plasma-based approach to treatment of wood-based surfaces using a roll-to-roll cold […]

Modeling the effect of environmental factors and animal-dispersed woody plants on the spatial distribution of new Iberian forests

Seed dispersal by vertebrates such as birds and rodents have been investigated extensively in Mediterranean vegetation over recent decades. Seed dispersal, at long and short distances, allow plants to colonize vacant habitats and trigger dynamic processes that increase new pioneer woody plants in the Mediterranean region. Despite that the seed dispersal by vertebrates has been […]

Validation du modèle d’arthrose provoqué par la MIA chez la souris

Il y a peu de traitements efficaces pour réduire les symptômes de douleur associés à l’arthrose. Ceci est en partie dû à nos connaissances limitées sur le sujet. Plusieurs modèles ont été développés et celui qui se démarque est celui de l’injection intra-articulaire de mono-iodoacétate (MIA). Bien que le modèle de MIA chez le rat […]

Les enjeux éthiques et juridiques en intelligence artificielle appliquée à la santé

De nombreuses questions éthiques, juridiques et de politique publique en matière de régulation se posent dans le domaine de l’intelligence artificielle et restent encore sans réponse, celles qui nous intéressent s’énoncent dans le domaine de la santé mentale. En effet, la création des machines d’apprentissage se fait par l’entrée de données massives traduites en algorithme […]
