In August 2005, a intense flashflood occurs on the Vorz catchment affecting the village of Saint-Agnès. This event highlighed the difficulties to forecast the...

Docetaxel (Dtx) is an anticancer drug widely used in therapy. However, severe allergic reactions and peripheral neurotoxicity are caused by the intravenous...

In this thesis we address the numerical approximation of the incompressible NavierStokes equations evolving in a moving domain with the spectral element method and...

Through a critical state of the art, this thesis explores new methods of knowledge engineering for the development of a collective intelligence focused stimulation,...

Partially depleted SOI technologies (PD-SOI), offer advantages in terms of speed and dynamic power consumption compared to bulk technologies. The main drawback of the...

The goal of this study is twofold. The first aspect is to develop a model of erosion production for black marls based on data collected in two experimental watersheds...

We have studied possibles access to two new molecular families that are azacyclooctatrienes and [6.4.6.4]azafenestradienes by using a new synthesis methodology : the...

The theory of General Relativity is probably not the ultimate theory of gravity. This affirmation is motivated by theoretical considerations linked to search to a...

order to answer the absence of complete and realistic data on behalf of the industry, the knowledge of the behaviour of MnZn ferrite's which equip the cores of the...

In modern society, land development can increase the amount of stormwater runoff and its associated pollutant loads to receiving waters (Barrett et al., 1998). Several...

In temperate conditions, studies dealing with spatio-temporal instabilities in climate sensitivity of forest tree species are scarce and often led at local and...

Giant magnetostrictive materials have been available in commercial quantities for over ten years, leading to the design of actuators for industrial and research...

The growth of the semiconductor integrated circuit industry over the last years has been fueled by continued miniaturization of transistors to ever-smaller dimensions....

The work described here is grounded by two major observations. Firstly, most of the French intonation models agree on the existence of two levels of prosodic phrasing:...

This research focuses on multimodal pedagogical communication in synthetic (virtual) worlds. The study investigates the interplay between verbal and nonverbal...

In this thesis, we investigate the optimization of Raptor codes for various channels of interest in practical wireless systems. First, we present an analytical...

The primary goal of the thesis is to study localization of Laplacian eigenfunctions in bounded domains when an eigenfunction is mainly supported by a small region of...

Abstract: Capture-recapture methods are generally used to describe populations when observation processes are imperfect. In the context of disease surveillance, they...

Ice might play an important roIe in the composition of the atmospheric gaseous phase : (l) during its formation, it can incorporate some trace gases by simultaneous...

The need for both high quality images and light structures is one of the main driver in the conception of space telescopes. An e fficient wave-front control will then...
