In this thesis, cooperative networks are studied under the assumption that the source is uncertain about the channel in operation. In the first chapter, cooperative...

During the last century, most of the meaningful frequency bands were licensed to emerging wireless applications. Because of the static model of frequency allocation,...

The aim of this thesis is answering to two significant problems in the field of automatic control: the state estimation and the robust model predictive control for...

This work focuses on the design, realization and characterization of high power, low noise 1.5 µm diode lasers for microwave applications and more particularly for...

This thesis deals with the problem of estimating the probability of failure of a system from computer simulations. When only an expensive-to-simulate model of the...

Large scale penetration of distributed generation is one of the most important challenges that Smartgrids will need to deal with. Among the possible solutions to...

This thesis focuses on the application of model predictive control approaches to optimize the combined cycle power plants start-ups. Generally, the optimization of...

Advanced mobile communication systems are characterized by a dense deployment of different types of wireless access points. Since these systems are primarily limited...

This work deals with the development of a VOC removal method by non-thermal plasma which has several advantages including flexibility, compactness and limited...

This thesis addresses the challenges encountered when dealing with signal decomposition problems with an unknown number of components in a Bayesian framework....

Some diseases with variable age of onset are due to the presence of predisposing gene mutations. Precise estimation of the age-specific cumulative risk (wich are...

Ovarian hormones, estradiol and progesterone, are known to promote breast carcinogenesis in BRCA1 mutated women. Using normal mammary gland xenografted in mice, we...

In this thesis, we studied the transport of single fibers and suspensions of fibers in microfluidic geometries. This collaboration work between Schlumberger and...

This research presents an analysis of the relationship between knowledge and proof through a mathematical concept: reflective symmetry (in a situation of construction...

The intent of the present work was the development of a high-order discontinuous Galerkin scheme for solving the gas dynamics equations written under total Lagrangian...

This thesis addresses the problem of imaging of model systems planar silicon pn junctions, fabricated by localized epitaxy, using the novel energy-filtered X-ray...

New classes of multidentate ligands, associating iminophosphoranes with thiolate or phenoxide, have been developed. These ligands could be easily synthesised from...
