Le nombre de personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus a connu une augmentation considérable à l’échelle mondiale. Ce bilan est préoccupant, considérant la possibilité accrue de développer une démence avec l’âge. La maladie d’Alzheimer est le type de trouble neurodégénératif le plus répandu, représentant jusqu’à 70% des cas de démence. La détection rapide des […]

L’objectif du projet de recherche qui sera réalisé à l’Université d’Aix-Marseille est de créer et valider un modèle numérique de la tête, du cou et du torse. Ce modèle permettra d’évaluer l’effet des colliers cervicaux préhospitaliers sur la mobilité et les contraintes mécaniques dans la moelle épinière suite à une blessure au cou. Les colliers […]

L’œuvre de Christophe Tarkos a souvent été comparé à celui de Samuel Beckett par la presse. Cependant, à ce jour, aucune étude savante n’a exploré les liens qui unissent ces deux auteurs en ce qui a trait à leur utilisation idiosyncratique de la langue. Par conséquent, ce projet vise à analyser le livre « PAN […]

This research project regards the rehabilitation programs of stroke patients, and how to improve the understanding of their effectiveness. Although it is recognized that rehabilitation programs help stoke patients with motor recovery, the extent and progression of raw neural adaptation over the rehabilitation process often remains invisible to the physiotherapist, despite the presence of biomedical […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson, provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the student(s) as well as the expected outcomes. (Approx. 150 words)

Aujourd’hui, les applications automobiles exigent des capteurs de position à différents endroits des véhicules ; par exemple sur la pédale d’accélération. Traditionnellement, ces capteurs ont été équipés par des potentiomètres. Avec la tendance à l’augmentation de la complexité technologique, il y a des risques croissants de défaillances des systèmes électriques et / ou électroniques. ISO […]

Most of the thermobarometric methods available to measure the pressure and temperature of metamorphism rely on the assumption of thermodynamic equilibrium and knowledge of the partitioning of elements between minerals. The pressure estimates obtained from these methods could be affected by chemical diffusion and/or variation in stress distribution, common during metamorphism. Furthermore, they also may […]

The world’s music is created with a variety of sounds and structures. For example, traditional Japanese music and classical Western music use different key signatures, rhythms, and instruments. This has suggested to music cognition researchers that different musical traditions might require unique mental processes and even distinct brain areas. Indeed, research by Professor Rie Matsunaga […]

Sensorineural hearing loss involves damage to hair cells, the sensory transducers of the auditory system, and/or the auditory neurons that transmit this information to the brain. Once these cells are lost the body does not naturally regenerate them. Elsewhere it has been shown that cells of one type may be converted into another cell type. […]

Ranking biological data is a difficult task for various reasons. Hence several ranking methods have been proposed, but none of them has been deployed on systems currently used by the scientific community. This is why a good solution is, given a set of rankings, to find a consensus ranking that reflect their common points while […]

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a popular tool for the deposition of thin film materials that are common in solar cells, sensors and display technologies. However, the need for a vacuum environment and slow material growth rates restricts ALD applicability in large scale commercial and industrial materials production. Atmospheric Pressure Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (AP-SALD […]

This project aims at investigating productive uncertainty as a determinant factor in stimulating the exploration of innovation. Data will be collected through stakeholder interviews and observations of technological intelligence practices at Université de Bordeaux’s Via Inno lab. Via Inno engages with industrial partners to explore future development opportunities, which present an ideal case study to […]
