In the field of road safety, internal injuries including abdominal injuries cannot be predicted through crash-tests using dummies. Numerical simulation is a promising...

The study of the behaviour of concrete at high temperatures is of great importance to determine the stability and strength of concrete structures in fire conditions....

The quality of the on-line differentiation with a noisy signal plays an important role in various applications involving different areas (1D and 2D). In the present...

In a general manner, the present thesis focuses on electrostrictive polymers which can be used either as flexible electromechanical actuators or as sensors or energy...

Multi-spectral images have the advantage of providing complementary information to resolve some ambiguities. But, the challenge is how to make use of the...

This study aims at understanding the influence of the dopant compensation on the performances of solar cells based on solar-grade silicon purified via metallurgical...

The earth's climatic system consists in several components which strongly interact (atmosphere, ice sheets, oceans, lithosphere and biosphere). Numerical modelling is...

Ice cores are a fantastic tool to study the past climate of our planet. Recently, the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) allowed to extract the Dome...

The literature about the effects of globalisation on poverty and inequality in developing countries has been flourishing. However, there is no consensus emerging about...

Le document de thèse est composé des textes suivants : 1. Le texte de présentation de la thèse (60 pages) 2. Les 4 tirés à part des publications annexées (102 pages): -...

The daily practice of an activity generates a set of knowledge that results in a know-how, a mastery, a skill a person gains over time. In order to take advantage of...

In April 2002, the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez Frías, was removed from power for approximately forty-eight hours and replacing by an acting president, Pedro...

In this thesis, we investigate experimentally as well as theoretically collective effects in dilute clouds of cold atoms. In order to study the competition between...

Pluripotent Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) have the potential to develop into cells of the three germ layers and of the germ line. Therefore, they are used as a model to...

Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) are characterized by a compressive strength much higher than Very High Performance Concrete (VHPC) currently...

Within the overall framework of seismic risk analysis and management two approaches are presented. First, the Pseudo-Adaptive Uncoupled Modal Response Analysis (PSA)...

This thesis deals with extremes statistics which has become an attractive subject in optics since a comparison with oceanic rogue waves has been proposed at the end of...

The polarization of light was introduced last ten years ago in the field of imaging system is a physical phenomenon that can be controlled for the purposes of the...

Learners' needs and demands about long-life professional training have changed, thus requiring efficient and motivating training solutions. In the present-day...
