Etude numérique d'équations aux dérivées partielles non linéaires et dispersives
2011
Numerical analysis becomes a powerful resource in the study of partial differential equations (PDEs), allowing to illustrate existing theorems and find conjectures. By using sophisticated methods, questions which seem inaccessible before, like rapid oscillations or blow-up of solutions can be addressed in an approached way. Rapid oscillations in solutions are observed in dispersive PDEs without dissipation where solutions of the corresponding PDEs without dispersion present shocks. To solve numerically these oscillations, the use of efficient methods without using artificial numerical dissipation is necessary, in particular in the study of PDEs in some dimensions, done in this work. As stud…

Contrôle quantique adiabatique : technique de passage adiabatique parallèle et systèmes dissipatifs
2011
The first part of this thesis is devoted to the theoretical analysis of adiabatic processes allowing the transfer of population from an initial state to a target state of a quantum system. The strategy of parallel adiabatic passage, in which the coupling parameters are specifically designed to optimize the adiabatic passage corresponding to parallel eigenvalues at all times, allows one to combine the energetically efficiency of pi-pulse and related strategies with the robustness of standard adiabaticpassage. The second part of this thesis concerns the effects of the dissipation in adiabatic passage. The non-adiabatic transition probability formula of a two state system with dissipation is e…
Paix et Constitutions
2013
International audience; De tout temps, la paix a été une préoccupation essentielle des sociétés humaines qui se sont organisées par le droit pour éviter « le fléau de la guerre ». La paix, antithèse de la guerre, intéresse tout naturellement l’État. Comme modèle institutionnel d’organisation des sociétés, l’État, cadre conceptuel de référence, reste concerné à un double titre pour concrétiser juridiquement cette aspiration à la paix. En premier lieu, il faut constater que cette volonté de limiter, voire d’interdire la guerre, a affecté surtout le rapport qu’entretiennent les États entre eux. Tous les États étant égaux dans la société internationale, chaque État doit se soumettre aux obligat…
EGFL7 ligates αvβ3 integrin to enhance vessel formation
2013
Angiogenesis, defined as blood vessel formation from a preexisting vasculature, is governed by multiple signal cascades including integrin receptors, in particular integrin αVβ3. Here we identify the endothelial cell (EC)-secreted factor epidermal growth factor-like protein 7 (EGFL7) as a novel specific ligand of integrin αVβ3, thus providing mechanistic insight into its proangiogenic actions in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, EGFL7 attaches to the extracellular matrix and by its interaction with integrin αVβ3 increases the motility of EC, which allows EC to move on a sticky underground during vessel remodeling. We provide evidence that the deregulation of EGFL7 in zebrafish embryos leads …
La perception des accords aromatiques : un exemple d'interactions perceptives dans les mélanges odorants
2007
Diplôme : Dr. d'Université; Dans le monde de la parfumerie et de l'aromatique, il existe un terme particulier définissant la formation d'une nouvelle qualité odorante à travers le mélange et la fusion de plusieurs odeurs : l'accord. Ce terme, largement employée parmi ces experts, n'avait jamais donné lieu à des études scientifiques approfondies.L' objectif de cette thèse a été de démontrer la réalité de l'accord en olfaction et de montrer qu'il repose sur des interactions perceptives influençant la qualité de l'odeur. Nous avons en particulier étudié les déterminants physico-chimiques, perceptifs et cognitifs des accords aromatiques. Dans un premier temps, nous avons démontré que la percept…
Photo-thermal control of surface plasmon mode propagation at telecom wavelengths
2016
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is the promising versatile platform proposed for guiding electromagnetic waves at nanoscale dimensions. In this context dynamic control of SPPs prop- agation is of paramount importance. Thermo-optical (TO) effect is considered as an efficient technique for performing active control of plasmonic devices. Among the thermo-optical based plasmonic devices demonstrated so far TO coefficient is dominantly provided by a dielectric material on top of the metal sustaining the SPP mode, however, the role of TO properties of the metal has been rarely investigated for plasmonic applications especially at the telecom frequency ranges. Therefore, the aim of this thesis i…
Inhibitory activities of short linear motifs underlie Hox interactome specificity in vivo
2015
Hox proteins are well-established developmental regulators that coordinate cell fate and morphogenesis throughout embryogenesis. In contrast, our knowledge of their specific molecular modes of action is limited to the interaction with few cofactors. Here, we show that Hox proteins are able to interact with a wide range of transcription factors in the live Drosophila embryo. In this context, specificity relies on a versatile usage of conserved short linear motifs (SLiMs), which, surprisingly, often restrains the interaction potential of Hox proteins. This novel buffering activity of SLiMs was observed in different tissues and found in Hox proteins from cnidarian to mouse species. Although th…
γ2-Adaptin, a Ubiquitin-interacting Adaptor, Is a Substrate to Coupled Ubiquitination by the Ubiquitin Ligase Nedd4 and Functions in the Endosomal Pa…
2008
gamma2-Adaptin is a putative member of the clathrin adaptor protein family with unknown physiological function. We previously reported that gamma2-adaptin acts as a ubiquitin receptor by virtue of its ubiquitin-interacting motif. Here we demonstrate that this motif mediates a specific physical interaction with the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4 and promotes ubiquitination of gamma2-adaptin. By mapping regions of Nedd4 involved in binding to gamma2-adaptin, we identified its C2 domain to be essential, whereas the WW and HECT domains are dispensable. Consistent with this, we uncovered that the C2 domain of Nedd4 is ubiquitinated itself and as such is recruited by the ubiquitin-interacting motif of ga…
The emergence and the evolution of the obligatory characteristic of cognitive automatisms
2013
The aim of this thesis is to examine the emergence and the evolution of the obligatory characteristic of cognitive automatisms. To achieve this, we devised a new experimental situation called musical Stroop. The basic arrangement comprises a treble staff with a note in various positions. A name of a note is printed inside the note. For the congruent condition, the note name is congruent with the note position on the staff, whereas in the incongruent condition, note name and position are incongruent. We showed that musicians process the incongruent condition slower than the congruent condition (Study 1). This effect, named Musical Stroop Effect (MSE), is generated by the automaticity of note…
