Scattering resonances and Pseudospectrum : stability and completeness aspects in optical and gravitational systems

2022

The general context of this thesis is an effort to establish a bridge between gravitational andoptical physics, specifically in the context of scattering problems using as a guideline concepts andtools taken from the theory of non-self-adjoint operators. Our focus is on Quasi-Normal Modes(QNMs), namely the natural resonant modes of open leaky structures under linear perturbationssubject to outgoing boundary conditions. They also are referred to as scattering resonances.In the conservative self-adjoint case the spectral theorem guarantees the completeness andspectral stability of the associated normal modes. In this sense, a natural question in the non-self-adjoint setting refers to the char…

Cicatrici: El secreto de sus ojos di Sacheri e Campanella

2012

In 2005 the Argentinian writer Eduardo Sacheri published The Question in Their Eyes (La pregunta de sus ojos).  The novel narrates on a double level, both fictional and temporal, the decision of a retired prosecutor to come to terms with a case of rape and murder which had taken place years earlier: his life had been shattered by the consequences of that tragedy, and writing about it would be a way to start living again.  The director Juan José Campanella - widely famous for having directed episodes of the television series Law & Order, but especially as the director of successful films such as El hijo de la novia - decided to adapt the novel and involved Sacheri in the project: the close c…

"Nodier and sadism: the "monstrous turpitudes" of Smarra"

2021

Nodier studies have scarcely examined the relationship between Nodier and Sade, the first one having apparently done everything to lessen his interest in the sulphurous work of the marquis. However, little is known, Nodier is the inventor, or the propagator of the word “sadism” in the French language, which appeared for the first time in 1834, in the 8th edition of the "Dictionnaire Universel" by Boiste, that, precisely, revised, amended and largely amplified by Nodier. The objective of this article is to shed light on this immorality-stricken relationship between a writer concerned about his reputation and in search of respectability (Nodier was elected to the Académie française in 1833, a…

Epidemiological survey on 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' and putative vectors in Western Sicily

2018

Bois noir (BN) associated with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ is an important grapevine yellows disease widespread in Europe and Mediterranean regions. During a two years survey (2014-15) carried out in a 10-year-old vineyard located in San Giuseppe Jato (PA), symptoms of Bois noir were observed on cvs Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Nero d’ Avola. Incidence of the disease increased over the two years, reaching values of about 34 % on cv Chardonnay. Ca. ‘P. solani’ was detected on symptomatic leaf samples from all cultivars with the highest percentage on cv Chardonnay followed by Pinot noir and Nero d’Avola. Further surveys were performed in order to highlight the epidemiology of the disease by…

Le pantheon africain

2014

La conversion religieuse, poursuivie par des ordres religieux, des confréries visant cet objectif ainsi que par de “pieux patrons”, s’articule comme un puissant système d’intégration de l’esclave. Nous analyserons ici le cas d’Antoine l’Éthiopien (mort en 1549), corsaire, musulman, marié, capturé dans la première moitié du XVIe siècle dans les eaux d’Augusta et celui de Benoît le Maure (1524-1589), né en Sicile d’esclaves originaires d’Afrique centrale déjà chrétiens. Dans ces deux cas, l’adhésion au troisième ordre franciscain devient un instrument qui permet non seulement l’affranchissement mais encore l’accès à la gloire des autels. Bienheureux le premier, saint le seco…

Des soldats noirs face au Reich: les massacres racistes de 1940

2015

International audience; Une « guerre pour la civilisation » germanique et pour l’Europe blanche : c’est ainsi que les nazis présentaient leur entreprise, qui avait également une dimension de revanche sur la Première Guerre mondiale et sur la « honte noire » infligée par les Français. En effet, depuis les années 1920, racistes et xénophobes allemands ne décoléraient pas : la France avait osé faire occuper le territoire de l’Allemagne par des soldats noirs, issus des troupes coloniales, et les nazis furent les plus virulents à le dénoncer. Lors de la campagne de France, en mai-juin 1940, environ trois mille de ces soldats coloniaux furent en conséquence assassinés, en dehors de toute action d…

Le trou noir de synthèse, un divertissement éducatif ?

2013

National audience; Au-delà de l'argument pédagogique, l'emploi d'images de synthèse dans les émissions télévisées sur l'astronomie relève aussi du spectacle ludique, que certains créateurs assument sans complexe. Cet article propose justement de confronter deux programmes mettant en scène - de manière diamétralement opposée - la découverte d'un super-trou noir au centre de la Voie Lactée, afin de révéler leur promesse respective, la manière dont ils la tiennent et questionner ainsi la pertinence de la dichotomie traditionnelle " éducation / divertissement ".

Phenological model performance to warmer conditions: application to Pinot noir in Burgundy.

2014

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Aim</strong>: The current work aims to assess the performance of two phenological models - a linear model (<em>Grapevine Flowering</em> <em>Véraison</em> model, <em>GFV</em>) and a curvilinear model (<em>Wang and</em> <em>Engel</em> model, <em>WE</em>) - to warmer temperature conditions for the grapevine variety Pinot noir in Burgundy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods and results</strong>: Simulations using historical data from the 1973-2005 period were similar between models and consistent with observations. To mimic pot…
