Approche des groupes culturels et de leurs interactions entre Rhin et Rhône à la transition Bronze-Fer

2014

Cultural groups and their interactions follow from complex dynamics, delicate to grasp due to many unknown factors. However, it is still possible to define an approach to this problem with the use of elements from pre-established models, taking in consideration the different types of information offered by archaeological remains. The present analysis is part of a doctorat defended in April 2013 about cultural groups and exchanges dynamics, in a study area going from the Saône-Rhône confluence to the Mosel‘s mouth, from the 10th to the 8th centuries BC. More particularly, this work used metalwork types and deposit context as cultural indicators. The controntation of the results from the fact…

Communiquer sur le goût, du discours à la méthode

2013

Based on the original scientific field of taste communication, the article exposes the setting up of a methodology specific to the communication sciences. Explicating the specificity of the taste and using multidisciplinary tools, we build a communication methodology specific to the communication of sensory attribute.

Role of Chemerin in Cardiovascular Diseases.

2022

(1) Background: Obesity is closely connected to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Excess fat accumulation is associated with metabolic malfunctions that disrupt cardiovascular homeostasis by activating inflammatory processes that recruit immune cells to the site of injury and reduce nitric oxide levels, resulting in increased blood pressure, endothelial cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis. Adipose tissue produces adipokines, such as chemerin, that may alter immune responses, lipid metabolism, vascular homeostasis, and angiogenesis. (2) Methods: We performed PubMed and MEDLINE searches for articles with English abstracts published between 1997 (when the first re…

Identifiability problem for recovering the mortality rate in an age-structured population dynamics model

2014

In this article is studied the identifiability of the age-dependent mortality rate of the Von Foerster–Mc Kendrick model, from the observation of a given age group of the population. In the case where there is no renewal for the population, translated by an additional homogeneous boundary condition to the Von Foerster equation, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the initial density that ensures the mortality rate identifiability. In the inhomogeneous case, modelled by a non-local boundary condition, we make explicit a sufficient condition for the identifiability property, and give a condition for which the identifiability problem is ill-posed. We illustrate this latter case wit…

Communication visuelle autour du Camp du Château à Salins-les-Bains (Jura, France) : mise en évidence d’un réseau de relations visuelles à l’âge du B…

2018

Des campagnes de prospections systématiques menées depuis plusieurs années dans le secteur du Camp du Château à Salins-les-Bains ont permis la mise au jour de 40 dépôts de l’âge du Bronze dans des contextes topographiques particuliers. La bonne précision de leur localisation permet de mesurer les liens de perceptibilité entre les lieux de dépôt et des points marquants du paysage naturel et social de l’âge du Bronze, en particulier des sites de hauteur. La topographie de la région a en effet favorisé la constitution d’une véritable toile de relations visuelles tout autour du Camp du Château. Les dépôts semblent marquer les frontières de l’espace visible depuis celui-ci. La mise en place d’un…

On the Influence of Grammars on Crossover in Grammatical Evolution

2021

Standard grammatical evolution (GE) uses a one-point crossover (“ripple crossover”) that exchanges codons between two genotypes. The two resulting genotypes are then mapped to their respective phenotypes using a Backus-Naur form grammar. This article studies how different types of grammars affect the resulting individuals of a ripple crossover. We distinguish different grammars based on the expected number of non-terminals chosen when mapping genotype codons to phenotypes, \(B_{avg}\). The grammars only differ in \(B_{avg}\) but can express the same phenotypes. We perform crossover operations on the genotypes and find that grammars with \(B_{avg} > 1\) lead to high numbers of either very sm…

Decoration composition of Iberian Iron Age ivory artifacts identified by no-destructive chemical analyses

2019

Se analizan mediante análisis no destuctivos 5 mangos de marfil con decoración incrustada. Se detecta ámbar y estaño. In this work, five unique Iberian Iron Age handles have been studied. The use of portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and Fourier transform near–infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy no-destructive techniques has allowed us to identify two raw materials (amber and tin) used to decorate the ivory handles.Due to the finesse of their inlaid decoration and the value and exoticismof thematerial employed for their manufacture, these ivory objects are really exceptional Iberian archaeology findings. Interestingly, it has been possible to determine that tin was used as an adherentmaterial to…

On the suffix automaton with mismatches

2007

International audience; In this paper we focus on the construction of the minimal deterministic finite automaton S_k that recognizes the set of suffixes of a word w up to k errors. We present an algorithm that makes use of S_k in order to accept in an efficient way the language of all suffixes of w up to k errors in every window of size r, where r is the value of the repetition index of w. Moreover, we give some experimental results on some well-known words, like prefixes of Fibonacci and Thue-Morse words, and we make a conjecture on the size of the suffix automaton with mismatches.

Fish Diets in Aquaponics

2019

AbstractFish and feed waste provide most of the nutrients required by the plants in aquaponics if the optimum ratio between daily fish feed inputs and the plant growing area is sustained. Thus, the fish feed needs to fulfil both the fish’s and plant’s nutritional requirements in an aquaponic system. A controlled fish waste production strategy where the nitrogen, phosphorus and mineral contents of fish diets are manipulated and used provides a way of influencing the rates of accumulation of nutrients, thereby reducing the need for the additional supplementation of nutrients. To optimize the performance and cost-effectiveness of aquaponic production, fish diets and feeding schedules should be…
