Improvement of metaheuristics for continuous optimization
Metaheuristics are general algorithmic frameworks, often nature-inspired, designed to solve complex optimization problems. Among representative metaheuristics,... -
Rheological properties of Red Blood Cells
In this work, the rheological properties of human blood are investigated by two different approaches. The flow properties of plasma, the liquid component of blood, is... -
Biodiversity and functional spatial structures in apple orchards : Potential ...
Generalist predators have been merely studied in conservation biological control studies in apple orchards. This work aimed to determine the potential of invertebrate... -
Observations and modeling of planetary systems around nearby stars.
Debris disks orbiting in the environment of nearby stars are a very important indicator of extrasolar planetary systems properties. From space and from the ground,... -
Porous materials by aggregation and consolidation of hydrophobized silica sus...
Porous materials were synthesized by aggregation and consolidation of silica nanoparticles in water, followed by a drying step in which the silicic network experiences... -
Effects of structural asymmetry on current-induced domain wall motion.
The aim of this thesis is to study the effect of the magnetic Oersted field on current-induced domain wall (DW) motion in IrPy bilayer nanostripes. We optimized the... -
Hydrodynamics of microswimmers
The suspensions of microscopic objects with the ability to propel themselves into the surrounding fluid are systems of growing interest in the scientific community.... -
Algebraic combinatorics on orders of permutations
This thesis comes within the scope of algebraic combinatorics and studies problems related to three orders on permutations: the two said weak orders (right and left)... -
Asymptotic behavior of jump processes and applications for branching models
The aim of this work is to study the long time behavior of a branching particle model. More precisely, the particles move independently from each other following a... -
Protein encapsulation in polymeric particles prepared in CO2 media using non-...
To date, protein encapsulation for sustained-release purpose remains a challenge in the field of microencapsulation. Owing to many benefits that it can offer to... -
Computational studies of the formation of Nafion ultra-thin films inside PEMF...
Nafion inside Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) catalyst layers can be found as an ultra-thin film coating the catalyst and the catalyst support... -
Knowledge models with identifiable parameters of solar desiccant cooling systems
Desiccant Air Unit (DAU) offers a complete control of air temperature and humidity in the conditioned space. Its key component is the desiccant wheel which provides... -
Detachment control in a vaned diffuser of a centrifugal fan
The performance improvement of turbomachinery operating at off-design conditions can be achieved by the understanding of unsteady phenomena which are occuring in its... -
Electro-active polymers : Modeling and characterization and its application t...
The concept of energy harvesting generally relates to the process of using ambient energy, which is converted, primarily (but not exclusively) into electrical energy... -
Soft X-ray Resonant Magnetic Reflectivity : a probe for complex magnetization...
This thesis deals about depth resolved magnetic profile of ultrathin Fe layers studied by soft X-ray Resonant Magnetic Reflectivity (SXRMR). This SXRMR technique... -
Models and Tools for Designing Mixed Reality Learning Games
Game-based learning is one efficient pedagogical concept that uses game principles to incite learners to engage into learning activities. Learning Games (LG) are... -
Measurement of electron reconstruction performance and search for Supersymmet...
The first three years of operation of the ATLAS experiment at LHC, with fruitful results, have opened the way to experimental physics at the TeV scale. The work... -
Re-writings of the Bible by Paul Claudel, André Gide and Albert Camus
The focus of this study is on textual links between ten fictional works by three French writers and the Bible. The text-orientated study illuminates how palimpsestuous... -
Measurement of the Z boson differential cross-section in transverse momentum ...
This work presents the measurement of the Z boson differential cross section in transverse momentum (ptz), in the electron-positron decay channel, using the ATLAS... -
Study of multi-channel wideband receiver architectures.
This thesis is a partnership between the BL TVFE of NXP Semiconductors and ESIEE. Its goal is to provide a solution to multi-channel reception for cable network. This...
