Des traces et des hommes : projet interdisciplinaire pour interpréter les comportements techno-économiques des Néandertaliens
2009
Cette contribution expose les problematiques du PCR « Des Traces et des Hommes », un projet de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les modalites d’acquisition et de traitement des matieres vegetales et animales au Paleolithique moyen en Europe occidentale. Elle presente brievement les differentes experimentations effectuees entre 2007 et 2009 et les resultats preliminaires obtenus dans chacun des themes developpes.
Vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy for probing the expression of chirality in mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes
2020
Mechanically interlocked molecules can exhibit molecular chirality that arises due to the mechanical bond rather than covalent stereogenic units. Developing applications of such systems is made challenging by the absence of techniques for assigning the absolute configuration of products and methods to probe how the mechanical stereogenic unit influences the spatial arrangements of the functional groups in solution. Here we demonstrate for the first time that Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) can be used to not only discriminate between mechanical stereoisomers but also provide detailed information on their (co)conformations. The latter is particularly important as these molecules are now…
Algorithms for Anti-Powers in Strings
2018
Abstract A string S [ 1 , n ] is a power (or tandem repeat) of order k and period n / k if it can be decomposed into k consecutive equal-length blocks of letters. Powers and periods are fundamental to string processing, and algorithms for their efficient computation have wide application and are heavily studied. Recently, Fici et al. (Proc. ICALP 2016) defined an anti-power of order k to be a string composed of k pairwise-distinct blocks of the same length ( n / k , called anti-period). Anti-powers are a natural converse to powers, and are objects of combinatorial interest in their own right. In this paper we initiate the algorithmic study of anti-powers. Given a string S, we describe an op…
Online Computation of Abelian Runs
2015
Given a word $w$ and a Parikh vector $\mathcal{P}$, an abelian run of period $\mathcal{P}$ in $w$ is a maximal occurrence of a substring of $w$ having abelian period $\mathcal{P}$. We give an algorithm that finds all the abelian runs of period $\mathcal{P}$ in a word of length $n$ in time $O(n\times |\mathcal{P}|)$ and space $O(\sigma+|\mathcal{P}|)$.
Fast computation of abelian runs
2016
Given a word $w$ and a Parikh vector $\mathcal{P}$, an abelian run of period $\mathcal{P}$ in $w$ is a maximal occurrence of a substring of $w$ having abelian period $\mathcal{P}$. Our main result is an online algorithm that, given a word $w$ of length $n$ over an alphabet of cardinality $\sigma$ and a Parikh vector $\mathcal{P}$, returns all the abelian runs of period $\mathcal{P}$ in $w$ in time $O(n)$ and space $O(\sigma+p)$, where $p$ is the norm of $\mathcal{P}$, i.e., the sum of its components. We also present an online algorithm that computes all the abelian runs with periods of norm $p$ in $w$ in time $O(np)$, for any given norm $p$. Finally, we give an $O(n^2)$-time offline randomi…
Symbolic integration of hyperexponential 1-forms
2019
Let $H$ be a hyperexponential function in $n$ variables $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ with coefficients in a field $\mathbb{K}$, $[\mathbb{K}:\mathbb{Q}] <\infty$, and $\omega$ a rational differential $1$-form. Assume that $H\omega$ is closed and $H$ transcendental. We prove using Schanuel conjecture that there exist a univariate function $f$ and multivariate rational functions $F,R$ such that $\int H\omega= f(F(x))+H(x)R(x)$. We present an algorithm to compute this decomposition. This allows us to present an algorithm to construct a basis of the cohomology of differential $1$-forms with coefficients in $H\mathbb{K}[x,1/(SD)]$ for a given $H$, $D$ being the denominator of $dH/H$ and $S\in\mathbb{K}[x…
Mahonian STAT on words
2016
In 2000, Babson and Steingrimsson introduced the notion of what is now known as a permutation vincular pattern, and based on it they re-defined known Mahonian statistics and introduced new ones, proving or conjecturing their Mahonity. These conjectures were proved by Foata and Zeilberger in 2001, and by Foata and Randrianarivony in 2006.In 2010, Burstein refined some of these results by giving a bijection between permutations with a fixed value for the major index and those with the same value for STAT , where STAT is one of the statistics defined and proved to be Mahonian in the 2000 Babson and Steingrimsson's paper. Several other statistics are preserved as well by Burstein's bijection.At…
Estimating with kernel smoothers the mean of functional data in a finite population setting. A note on variance estimation in presence of partially o…
2014
In the near future, millions of load curves measuring the electricity consumption of French households in small time grids (probably half hours) will be available. All these collected load curves represent a huge amount of information which could be exploited using survey sampling techniques. In particular, the total consumption of a specific cus- tomer group (for example all the customers of an electricity supplier) could be estimated using unequal probability random sampling methods. Unfortunately, data collection may undergo technical problems resulting in missing values. In this paper we study a new estimation method for the mean curve in the presence of missing values which consists in…
Strengthening of steel-reinforced concrete structural elements by externally bonded FRP sheets and evaluation of their load carrying capacity to face…
2014
The paper has proposed a limit analysis procedure for a preliminary design of RC elements strengthened by externally bonded FRP sheets. The procedure, based on a multi-yield-criteria limit analysis approach, has led to a reliable prediction of peak loads and failure modes of the analyzed elements (slabs) by simultaneously considering the limit state of the constituent materials, so resulting very useful in many applications of engineering interest. The attention has been focused on hospital applications in which increment of service loads or realization of openings can weaken some structural elements that have been strengthened by FRP sheets.
A bridge over troubled water? Celebrities in journalism connecting implicit and institutional politics
2013
This article looks empirically into how audience members evaluate celebrities in journalism; whether and how celebrities help them to envisage their relationship to politics and media and consequently regard themselves as citizens. The analysis generates a broad and audience-based understanding of celebrities in nine focus group discussions, wherein more than 50 citizens in Finland discussed their favourite celebrities. The discussions revealed three interpretative frames explaining what the celebrities represent to the participants: normative, critical and alternative. In the first two, the groups impose a critical view on celebrities, whereas only the latter one comes close to the optimi…
