In recent years, cold atomic systems have been recognized as very promising tools for quantum simulators and for applications in quantum technology. In particular, a...

The main objective of this thesis is to exploit the photometric information avail- able in large photo collections of outdoor scenes to infer characteristics of the...

This thesis demonstrates experimentally at the laboratory scale the detection and localization, in transmission, of a wavelength-sized target in a shallow ultrasonic...

Plate tectonics postulate that plates are rigid and that deformations focus on their boundaries, generally narrow in oceanic areas. Some oceanic plates appear to...

OPTIMAL GROWTH MECHANISMS IN WALL-BOUNDED SHEAR FLOWS, IN PARTICULAR, PLANE COUETTE AND PLANE POISEUILLE FLOW, WITH AND WITHOUT A DESTABILIZING WALL-NORMAL TEMPERATURE...

Socially responsible investment (SRI) is gaining ground, partly because of the rise of sustainable development issues and the effects of recent financial crises, which...

During the relativistic interaction between a short and intense laser pulse and an underdense plasma, electrons can be injected and accelerated up to hundreds of MeV...

This thesis is a contribution to the problem of a complex system prognosis. More precisely, it concerns the model-based prognosis approach and the thesis is divided...

This thesis deals with femtosecond pulse shaping and temporal characterization. The originality of the work resides in the proposed approach in which metrology plays...

The objective of this thesis is the elaboration of polycrystalline silicon, on borosilicate glass substrate, by a Continuous Wave laser annealing of amorphous silicon...

In dieser Doktorarbeit wird ein partiotionierter Ansatz zur Lösung nichlinearer stark gekoppelter Fluid-Struktur-Interaktionsprobleme behandelt. Dabei werden die...

As well as the ready-made, almost a century ago, turned the question “what is art?” into its opposite (“how can say something isn’t art?”, something wouldn’t be...

This thesis describes an experimental study on fluctuations of a Brownian particle immersed in a fluid, confined by optical tweezers and subject to two different kinds...

This thesis validates the concept of mixed electron/proton ceramic conductors to be used as anode materials for intermediate temperature steam electrolyzer. The...

Reactive metals are currently produced from their oxide by multiple steps reduction techniques. A one step route from the oxide to the metal has been suggested for...

Nowadays in France, building fire safety strategy performance analysis relies on a fire engineering study. This kind of study aims at calculating fire risk for several...

Interval arithmetic is a means to compute verified results. However, a naive use of interval arithmetic does not provide accurate enclosures of the exact results....

The pervasiveness of the semiconductor industry in an increasing range of applications that span human activity stems from our ability to integrate more and more...

Supercontinuum sources made possible major break through in spectroscopy metrology and biology like the development of optical coherent tomography. Photonics crystal...

The design of self-timed integrated circuits, including QDI (Quasi-Delay Insensitive) circuits, lead to robust circuits against variabilities in manufacturing...
