Towards a metric of the commensurability of interpretative frameworks
Knowledge resulting of the interpretation by an individual of information, it cannot always be handled as an object. Indeed, we create knowledge when filtering... -
Experimental evaluation of a statistical speech synthesis system, HTS, for fr...
The work presented in this thesis is about TTS speech synthesis and, more particularly, about statistical speech synthesis for French. We present an analysis on the... -
Minimization of calibrated loss functions for image classification
Image classification becomes a big challenge since it concerns on the one hand millions or billions of images that are available on the web and on the other hand... -
The civil procedure law of the european union does it form a procedural order ?
Even if it is conceded that the European Union law necessarily involves the renewal of traditional and national legal concepts, order can emerge from disorder. As a... -
Stability modeling of isolated rock blocks at the surface of underground exca...
Failure of rock blocks located at the surface of underground excavations is a common problem in discontinuous rock masses. Since exact methods that take into account... -
Small animal 4D SPECT imaging : assessment of respiratory motion and iodide b...
The aim of this thesis is to investigate temporally evolving phenomena with the use of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).The first part of this thesis... -
Reducing conditions associated to serpentinization : magnetic monitoring of S...
Slow-spreading ridges are fed by a magmatic input and the exhumation of mantle peridotites. Part of the magmatic heat is evacuated through the hydrothermal circulation... -
Developping a novel GPR-based paleoseismology. Case studies on the active str...
Collecting information on past strong earthquakes is crucial to anticipate the characteristics of the future strong earthquakes that threaten us. A part of the traces... -
Vibrationnal modes and mechanical behaviour of silicia glasses : a numerical ...
This thesis discusses the mechanical and vibrationnal behaviour of silica glasses. Here, classical molecular dynamics methods are used to model a glass using asmoothed... -
Programming models and execution models for parallel and hybrid architectures...
We focus on large parallel hybrid architectures based on a combination of general processors (eg Intel Xeon) and accelerators (Nvidia GPU). Using with efficiency these... -
Modeling and simulation of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging for cardiac f...
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) appears currently as the unique imaging modality to investigate noninvasively both ex vivo and in vivo three-dimensional... -
Methods for cooperative guidance
The thesis objective is to define and study the performances of cooperative guidance methods of autonomous aerial vehicles. The interest of cooperative guidance is to... -
Observations of seismic interactions and of a nucleation phase before some la...
We present three studies about earthquake interactions and the nucleation phase of big earthquakes. The first part of this work deals with the northwestern Turkey,... -
Geomicrobiology of Alchichica alkaline lake microbialites (Mexico)
Stromatolites are organosedimentary structures resulting from the activity of microbes. Fossil stromatolites are considered to be among the oldest traces of life on... -
Exploring the recognition of membrane curvature by the ALPS motif
Some biological processes such as vesicular transport are regulated by motifs that guide proteins to curved membranes. One of them is the ALPS (Amphipathic Lipid... -
Understanding magmatic processes and seismo-volcano source localization with ...
In this thesis, we study the seismo-volcanic source localization using data recorded by new sensor arrays composed of three-component (3C) seismometers deployed on... -
Variation of shear wave velocity in the fluid-solid transition of clay. Clay ...
Landslides affect many clay slopes in the world and regularly threaten people in urban areas mountainous. These landslides are characterized by a slow velocity but... -
Modelling of diagenetic overprints in carbonate platforms using gas automata....
Once deposited, sediment is affected by diagenetic processes during their burial history. These diagenetic processes are able to affect the petrophysical properties of... -
Sparse representations for multivariate signals
In this thesis, we study approximation and learning methods which provide sparse representations. These methods allow to analyze very redundant data-bases thanks to... -
Contribution of in situ measurements in the evaluation of the seismic vulnera...
This PhD thesis is focused on the correlation between ground motion and the buildings response. In particular, we interested in reducing the uncertainties that occur...
