Temporal Logic To Query Semantic Graphs Using The Model Checking Method
2012
International audience; Semantic interoperability problems have found their solutions due to the use of languages and techniques from the Semantic Web. The proliferations of ontologies and meta-information have improved the understanding of information and the relevance of search engine responses. However, the construction of semantic graphs is a source of numerous errors of interpretation or modeling, and scalability remains a major problem. The processing of large semantic graphs is a limit to the use of semantics in current information systems. The work presented in this paper is part of a new research at the border of two areas: the semantic web and the model checking. This line of rese…
Asymptotic bit frequency in Fibonacci words
2021
It is known that binary words containing no $k$ consecutive 1s are enumerated by $k$-step Fibonacci numbers. In this note we discuss the expected value of a random bit in a random word of length $n$ having this property.
In Vitro Arrhythmia Generation by Mild Hypothermia - a Pitchfork Bifurcation Type Process
2015
International audience; The neurological damage after cardiac arrest (CA) constitutes a big challenge of hospital discharge. The therapeutic hypothermia (34°C-32°C) has shown its benefit to reduce cerebral oxygen demand and improve neurological outcomes after the cardiac arrest. However, it can have many adverse effects, among them the cardiac arrhythmia generation represents an important part (up to 34%, according different clinical studies). Monolayer cardiac culture is prepared with cardiomyocytes from new-born rat directly on the multi-electrodes array, which allows acquiring the extracellular potential of the culture. The temperature range is 37°C - 30°C - 37°C, representing the coolin…
Détection d'Anomalie dans les Signaux Physiologiques
2015
International audience; Les signaux physiologiques sont des séries temporelles riches en informations. Analyser ces signaux pour extraire ces informations, pour établir un diagnostic ou encore pour prédire une évolution, nécessite des outils performants et adaptés à leurs caractéristiques intrinsèques. En effet le comportement d'un système biologique dépend des variations de très nombreux paramètres, ce qui le rend alors presque imprévisible. Les méthodes issues de la théorie du chaos et de la dynamique non linéaire apportent des éléments qui permettent de comprendre ce type de comportements, et d'établir ainsi un lien qualitatif avec des modèles mathématiques bio-inspirés ou phénoménologiq…
The effect of the geomagnetic field on cosmic ray energy estimates and large scale anisotropy searches on data from the Pierre Auger Observatory
2011
We present a comprehensive study of the influence of the geomagnetic field on the energy estimation of extensive air showers with a zenith angle smaller than $60^\circ$, detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The geomagnetic field induces an azimuthal modulation of the estimated energy of cosmic rays up to the ~2% level at large zenith angles. We present a method to account for this modulation of the reconstructed energy. We analyse the effect of the modulation on large scale anisotropy searches in the arrival direction distributions of cosmic rays. At a given energy, the geomagnetic effect is shown to induce a pseudo-dipolar pattern at the percent level in the declination distribution t…
Retrievals of soil moisture and optical depth from CAROLS
2011
International audience; We propose in this paper to evaluate a method to retrieve soil moisture (SM) and vegetation optical thickness, in areas of unknown roughness and unknown vegetation water content in view of operational applications, by using airborne Tb measurements acquired in South-West of France. Results are compared to in situ measurements, manual and automatic ones included in SMOSmania network, in the South-West of France.
Parabolic pulse generation through passive reshaping of gaussian pulses in a normally dispersive fiber
2007
We numerically and experimentally demonstrate that a Gaussian pulse can be reshaped into a pulse with a stable parabolic intensity profile during propagation in normally dispersive nonlinear fibers.
All-Optical Measurement of Background, Amplitude and Timing Jitter for high speed pulse trains or prbs sequences using autocorrelation function
2006
We present a simple method for all-optical measurements of background, amplitude- and timing-jitter of ultra high speed pulse trains or prbs sequences using the jitter dependences of the intercorrelation-peak shape.
Nonlinear spectral compression in optical fiber: A new tool for processing degraded signals
2017
International audience; We propose two new applications of the spectral focusing by self-phase modulation that occurs in a nonlinear optical fiber. We numerically show the possibility of using nonlinear spectral compression to improve the optical signal to noise ratio and mitigate the amplitude jitter of the signal pulses. We also demonstrate experimentally that use of spectral focusing in a combination with an external sinusoidal phase modulation achieves efficient suppression of coherent spectral background.
Translucent medium
2013
8 pages; article in McGraw-Hill Science & Technology Encyclopedia; International audience; A medium allowing light to pass through partially or diffusely. An object cannot be seen clearly through translucent matter. In the most accepted meaning, translucency is used to describe a medium transmitting most of the light but scattering it more or less so that objects seen through it are blurry with soft contours and without details. The closer the object is to the medium the sharper its image through it. There are many examples of such media among natural or manufactured artifacts, including wax paper, milky water, colloidal and hydrogel materials, aerogels, smoke, fog, clouds, optical ceramics…
