Abstract The inventory of books in the library of Bāyazīd II compiled by ʿAṭūfī at the request of the sultan is a major witness to Ottoman cultural history in the sixteenth century. By crossing codicological and textual perspectives, the paper will seek …

Abstract Taking into consideration the trials that Mulay Zaydān’s library housed at El Escorial went through in the course of its history, we realise that it does not include all the manuscripts that belonged to the Saʿdian sultan. It should be remembered …

Abstract MS Or.5, preserved at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, contains a Safavid Shāhnāme dated Shavvāl 990/ September-October 1582. Included in Angelo Michele Piemontese’s catalogue of Persian manuscripts in Italian libraries (1989), the manuscript, …

Abstract This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of a significant Qurʼanic manuscript discovered in the Geniza of the Imām Riḍā shrine in Mashhad, comprising 244 fire-damaged folios. The manuscript's colophon identifies its scribe as Abū ʿAlī …

Abstract The study of Medieval bookbinding in the Muslim world has come up against major methodological problems, but faces also (and perhaps because of these problems) a certain scepticism on the part of specialists in manuscript studies. The Escorial …

Abstract If we consider the role of the book as a communication tool, an analysis of its different materials and forms can reveal aspects of its use and function. For example, its dimensions and form can influence its mobility, its materials can affect …

Abstract This lecture will explore the molecular basis of the dialogue between the nervous and immune systems, highlighting cytokines, stress mediators and shared receptors. It will also show how the major sensory systems (notably the vagal system, …

Abstract Biological invasions are one of the main threats to biodiversity. Numerous studies have demonstrated the harmful effects of biological invasions in species extinctions, particularly among island species. However, biodiversity is not only limited …

Abstract This lecture, based on the work of our research group, will address some specific aspects of biological invasions worldwide, in particular how to predict what future invasive alien species will be, and in which regions of the world they will …

Abstract How does a biological system set up a body plan to produce a final organism with everything in the right place and orientation? I will discuss a developmental system (parhyale) that exploits activity and cell division to establish four-fold …

Abstract To conclude the lecture series, we will explore the perceptions and concepts developed by the ancient Mesopotamians themselves to account for the complex relationships between societies and environments. In particular, we will focus on the motif …

Abstract Over the last three decades, the highly tunable properties of NHCs and other stable singlet carbenes have led to a variety of applications. We will discuss a novel facet of carbenes, i.e., their reductive properties, which allows carbenes to …

Abstract We demonstrate water activation by a photocatalytic phosphine-mediated radical process, generating a PR3-H2O radical cation intermediate, where both hydrogen atoms are used in the following chemical transformation through sequential cleavage of …

Abstract Originally discovered via vapor-phase pyrolysis of p-xylene , 1 [2.2]paracyclophanes (pCps) have garnered significant attention due to their unique three-dimensional architecture2 and inherent planar chirality. 3 Despite their promising …

Abstract As part of the organic chemistry, radical chemistry is an important research area as the one electron reactivity is complementary to the ones of the two electrons and polar manifolds. In this regard, electrochemistry, which enjoy a renewal, …

Abstract Historically, group-1 alkali metal chemistry is dominated by +1 oxidation state. As the least electronegative elements in the Periodic Table, zero-valent alkali metals are prone to give out their only valence shell electron, i.e., acting as …

Abstract Our group aims to study the total synthesis of complex natural products. We particularly deploy oxidative coupling strategies via single electron transfer (SET) processes among others tactics. We also study electrochemistry to access three …

Abstract Since the pioneering report of the oxidative three-component Passerini reaction using a stoichiometric oxidant, [1] oxidative Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCRs) have opened new avenues for accessing diverse chemical space from …

Abstract Photoinduced electron transfer is the key step in photoredox catalysis. We will briefly review the essential parameters affecting photoinduced electron transfer and how we can control them for the benefit of synthesis. Next, we discuss recent …

Abstract Computational quantum physics has recently seen a dramatic increase in its capabilities, precision, and predictive power. The advances have been driven by method and code development, benchmark, and collaboration. Together with exciting recent …

Abstract After a brief introduction to the CGDD, the research sub-department and their involvement in geoengineering, this talk will present current French positions on the two main families of techniques, carbon removal (EDC) and solar radiation …
