The Role of Differential Parameters in Beltrami's Work
1997
Abstract Differential parameters play a relevant role in Beltrami's mathematical work. They are employed in different contexts, in order to express some well-known results in a new way and to extend potential theory and the theory of elasticity to a Riemannian manifold. The author aims to show that differential parameters enabled Beltrami to solve many mathematical questions and that they constitute the first step toward the conception of tensor calculus. Les parametres differentiels jouent un role important dans l'oeuvre mathematique de Beltrami. Ils sont employes en contextes differents, pour exprimer dans une maniere nouvelle quelques resultats bien-connus et pour generaliser la theorie …
LA FERRURE PÉRIPLANTAIRE, HISTOIRE D'UNE POLÉMIQUE
2014
Pierre Charlier, veterinarian of a transport company of Paris, presented 1765 a revolutionary method of far-riery. His horse shoe was made of an iron hook inlaid into the edge of the wall that limited the wear of the hoof while the sole and frog came into contact with the ground and limited slips.

L'héritage de Buffon
2009
Buffon naturaliste, mathématicien, chimiste, styliste. Buffon aux multiples facettes, à la force de travail phénoménale, à la tête d'un monument : l'Histoire naturelle.

Comment les idées de Buffon ont-elles cheminé, aux XVIIIe, XIXe et XXe siècles, dans le dédale de la pensée des autres chercheurs, dans l'Europe et au-delà, dans les théories scientifiques ou la littérature moderne ? Au centre du réseau de ses correspondants, critique de Linné, précurseur de Darwin, Buffon jette des ponts vers la biologie moderne, tisse des liens avec les penseurs de l'avenir, avance aux côtés des artistes inspirés de son œuvre, à l'écoute des oiseaux, animaux, grands singes q…

Territories and governance, a research-action actor's point of view
2010
International audience; Once repositioned four different experiences in relation to issues of governance, in a first step, we shall come back very briefly on our initial and very traditional approach of the governance and of the relationships between actors. Then, drawing on the four axes of analysis suggested by A. Dauphine, presenting different situations encountered, we will propose an other way we used to better understand governance by and for observation a complex system: the territory.
The treatments of pursiness in the ancient time
2009
The pursiness is a very old disease known since antiquity whose name comes from the fact that affected horse have difficulties to expirate air and produce a movement of forced expiration to expel air. This symptom is now mainly related to pulmonary emphysema. Treatments remained generally the same from antiquity to the nineteenth century. They used mainly bleeding and therapeutic mixtures supposed to work on the lung. The revolution was to come in the nineteenth century with the use of arsenic.
