Experimental Observation of a Large Low-Frequency Band Gap in a Polymer Waveguide
2018
The quest for large and low-frequency band gaps is one of the principal objectives pursued in a number of engineering applications, ranging from noise absorption to vibration control, and to seismic wave abatement. For this purpose, a plethora of complex architectures (including multiphase materials) and multiphysics approaches have been proposed in the past, often involving difficulties in their practical realization. To address the issue of proposing a material design that enables large band gaps using a simple configuration, in this study we propose an easy-to-manufacture design able to open large, low-frequency complete Lamb band gaps exploiting a suitable arrangement of masses and stif…

School Staff-centered School Development by Communicative Action: Working Methods for Creating Collective Responsibility - From the Idea to Action
2020
School development is often seen as a concerted (re-)action to educational policies, curriculum development, and change in education laws or regulations, and sometimes, as stakeholders’ reactions to low school performance. Generally, school development incorporates organizational, managerial, and educational activities and measures. This is done to adapt to the new situation to achieve the desired changes and goals initiated by a given curriculum reform. In contrast, this paper focuses on school staff–driven development: It describes how teachers together with paraprofessionals contribute to school-development. Using collective responsibility creating working methods of communication, the e…

A Changing Media Landscape. Science, the Public and the Press: The Case of Climate Change
2013
Economic restructuring in the media industry has eliminated many professional journalists’ jobs, reductions that may have been hardest on specialized journalists reporting areas like science, technology, economics, or international affairs. This makes audiences even more dependent on new, often social, media for scientific information. The concept of «critical science literacy» is introduced as a way to capture the skills needed to navigate science news in the evolving media landscape. While these same skills were needed to make sense of science in the «old» media world as well, the contemporary shift resulting in attenuation of authoritative journalistic voices is likely to continue, deman…

: " Si tu veux la paix, prépare la guerre " ou " si tu veux la paix, prépare la paix " ?
2012
International audience; A la fin du IVe siècle dans son Traité de l'art militaire (De re militari), le chrétien Végèce a écrit : " qui désire la paix, se prépare donc à la guerre ". Son ouvrage, utilisé comme manuel de moralisation du guerrier par l'Eglise catholique, est encore qualifié au début du XIXe siècle par des stratèges militaires de " Livre d'or " des règles de la guerre. Mais cet adage toujours présent dans l'esprit de nos contemporains a été dénoncé en 1841 par le saint-simonien Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin qui a écrit : " si tu veux la paix, prépare la paix ". Le mouvement pacifiste qui s'est développé depuis les conflits napoléoniens peine à reprendre son souffle à la fin de la…
Is a seminar based on student-created screen capture videos a meaningful way of learning?
2008
We ran a problem-based seminar with screen capture videos. The students worked in small groups of two or three students or they completed the coursework individually. In this seminar the students had a workspace in the Optima environment for publishing their coursework videos. At the final phase of the course the students were expected to familiarize themselves with the presentations of other groups. In this paper we analyze the benefit of our problem-based coursework on the web by comparing the different phases of it. After each phase the students were expected to analyze the benefit of it for their learning. peerReviewed

The use of very high resolution images for studying Posidonia oceanica reefs
2020
Posidonia oceanica is an endemic Mediterranean seagrass that forms wide and dense meadows from the surface up to about 40 m depth. This species can develop a biogenic structure called matte, a typical terraced formation built up by itself, consisting of intertwined rhizomes, roots and sediment, which may allow shoots to reach the sea surface forming reefs (récif barrière), considered natural monuments. Posidonia oceanica reefs are particularly exposed to the ongoing increase in temperature and in storm frequency and intensity due to climate change, with negative repercussions on their conservation. Much more attention must be paid to the implementation of monitoring tools able to detect ear…
