Statistical formats to optimize evidence-based decision making: A behavioral approach
2013
Abstract Statistical information is crucial for managerial decision making. The decision-making literature in psychology and mathematical cognition documents how different statistical formats can facilitate certain types of decisions. The present analysis is the first of its kind to assess the impact of statistical formats in the presentation of data from market research on both the optimality of market decisions and the time required to perform the decision-making process. An economic experiment provides the data for this study. The experiment presents statistical information in simple frequencies and relative frequencies using numerical and pictorial representations in the context of diff…
Minimum information about a biofilm experiment (MIABiE): standards for reporting experiments and data on sessile microbial communities living at inte…
2014
The minimum information about a biofilm experiment (MIABiE) initiative has arisen from the need to find an adequate and scientifically sound way to control the quality of the documentation accompanying the public deposition of biofilm-related data, particularly those obtained using high-throughput devices and techniques. Thereby, the MIABiE consortium has initiated the identification and organization of a set of modules containing the minimum information that needs to be reported to guarantee the interpretability and independent verification of experimental results and their integration with knowledge coming from other fields. MIABiE does not intend to propose specific standards on how biof…
Performance Comparison of SSMF and UltraWave Fibers for Ultra-Long-Haul 40-Gb/s WDM Transmission
2007
International audience; We experimentally compare the performance of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) and UltraWave fiber (UWF) for ultra-long-haul (ULH) 40-Gb/s wavelength-division-multiplexing transmissions. We used the carrier-suppressed return-to-zero amplitude-shift-keying (CSRZ-ASK) and the carrier-suppressed return-to-zero differential-phase-shift-keying (CSRZ-DPSK) formats, which are particularly well-adapted to 40-Gb/s pulse-overlapped propagation. We demonstrate that transmission distance well beyond 2000 km can be reached on UWF with both the CSRZ-ASK and CSRZ-DPSK formats, or on SSMF with the CSRZ-DPSK format only, thus indicating that SSMF-based infrastructure of incumbent car…

Compression of binary images based on covering
1995
The paper describes a new technique to compress binary images based on an image covering algorithm. The idea is that binary images can be always covered by rectangles, univocally described by a vertex and two adjacent edges (L-shape). Some optimisations are necessary to consider degenerate configurations. The method has been tested on several images representing drawings and typed texts. The comparison with existing image file compression techniques shows a good performance of our approach. Further optimisations are under development.
Exploratory Study of the Intrusion Perceived On E-advertising Formats: In Search of a Classification
2011
The aim of this paper is firstly to define intrusive advertising based on psychology literature and an exploratory qualitative study with 18 participants. We then propose a classification of advertising formats available to advertisers according to their intrusive characteristics, in particular regard to their display mode.
E-advertising Formats and Intrusion Perceived
2013
E-advertising Formats and Intrusion Perceived Abstract : The aim of this paper is firstly to define intrusive advertising based on marketing and in psychology literature. We identify the elements favoring the intrusion perceived as well as the intrusive attributes of the formats of advertising. We also envisage the consequences of the intrusion perceived for the main actors of the publicity.

Economic Double Censorship
2020
This chapter explores the censorship impact generated by economic logic on the selection and coverage of topics in factual formats and current affairs documentaries on French television. This prelimina- ry research studies more specifically the subcontracting relationships between TV channels and production companies from semi- structured interviews with various categories of professionals (managers of TV press agencies, journalists, directors, Commissioning Editor). The analysis distinguishes two types of censorship ef- fects. The competitive relationships and the business models of the broadcasters condition their positions in the media field and thus exercise a structural censorship on t…
