Logic Duality, Conformity, and Survival in the French Film Industry, 1987-2008
This dissertation explores how logic duality, that is the coexistence of two institutional logics in an industry, affects firm strategic behaviors, and how in return... -
UNC5H dependence receptor apoptotic signalisation and tumorigenesis
Dependence receptors are a new class of pro-apoptotic receptor able to induce a survival signal in presence of their ligand and, on the opposite site to induce... -
Grain Size and localization of deformation in the lithosphere
In this thesis, I studied the impact of grain size on the rheology of the mantle of the Earth. We propose a new model of grain size evolution and show that the... -
Numerical analysis of partial differential equations with random coefficients...
This work presents some results about probabilistic and deterministic numerical methods for partial differential equations with stochastic coefficients, with... -
Development of Kossel microdiffraction for strain and stress analysis at the ...
X-ray diffraction is a non-destructive method frequently used in materials science to analyse the stress state at a macroscopic scale. Due to the growing complexity of... -
Laser control of quantum systems by ultrafast parallel adiabatic passage : ap...
In this work we establish and test the technique of parallel adiabatic passage (PLAP) thatoptimizes the adiabatic passage in the sense that it selects specific paths... -
Study and realization of an UWB microwave radar based on phase conjugation
This thesis deals with non-destructive electromagnetic imaging. Its originality lies, primarily, in a marked experimental approach, which has led to the realization of... -
Relations between climatic fluctuations, carbon cycle perturbations and carbo...
The Early Cretaceous is punctuated by carbon cycle perturbations, associated with organic matter burial episodes and carbonate production crises. These events coincide... -
