Faced with widespread consumerism and individualism, the erosion of the authority of the educational system, rising violence in certain schools, and even religious and...

Over the last decades, the evolution of acquisition techniques yields the generalization of detailed 3D objects, represented as huge point sets composed of millions of...

Lighting market is a widespread distribution mass market undergoing radical transformation faced with new environmental restrictions. It fits into an environmental...

Humans and monkeys can process objects in natural scenes very rapidly and the three chapters of this<br />thesis try to define the different aspects of the early...

Our work deals with effective connectivity to detect and quantify relations between cerebral structures involved in the initiation and the diffusion of epileptic...

At large packing fraction, disordered packings of particles with repulsive contact interactions jam into a rigid state where they withstand finite shear stresses...

The European Directive, known as IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) imposes to the more pollutant industries to apply best available techniques (BAT)...

Enyne cycloisomerisations induce the formation of cyclic or polycyclic compounds from unsaturated substrates in a single step. These réactions catalysed by transition...

This thesis aims to define a design methodology for high performance applications on future embedded processors. These architectures require an efficient usage of...

In the rapid visual processing theory, visual information is encoded in the firing latency of the cells, a scheme that readily explains its speed. In the present...

This work is at the crossroads of operator algebra and<br />non-commutative probability theories. Some properties of<br />$\Gamma_{q}(H_{\R})$ are...

After the peak period during the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2100-1800/1750 B.C.), around 1750 B.C. the Oxus civilization knows a phase of deep transformations leading to...

Distribution activities have been the least studied domain of the electricity sector; over the last few years though, strong debates emerged with regards to the...

We investigate the effect of a backgroung rotation on the decay of a turbulent flow in a confined geometry. Turbulence is generated by rapidly towing a grid in a...

Agriculture must evolve into a more environmentally-friendly approach, while remaining economically viable and socially interesting, which is necessary so that the...

In this PhD dissertation, we investigated the way of exploiting the demand forecasts for the upstream flow management in a context of mass production of highly diverse...

In this thesis, we focus on developing deterministic and heuristic approaches for solving some classes of optimization problems in Telecommunication and Mobility &...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) forms have an established role in oncogenesis and tumor cell function by increasing the capacity of proliferation and cell invasion. ROS...

Nowadays, mobile users integrate multiple wireless network interfaces in their devices, like IEEE 802.11, 2G/3G/4G cellular, WiMAX or Bluetooth since these...

For many years now, passive observation of the ocean surface, using, in particular, of source of opportunities from positioning satellites (GNSS), has been a very...
