La phylogénie des cercopithecinés encore en costruction.
2013
Les cercopithecines (guenons et autres taxa corrélées) sont un groupe de singes africains qui se composent d'environ 36 réelles espèces avec une évolution et une phylogénie três difficile à reconstruire. L’approche scolaire a la tendance à proposer la clusterisation du groupe en question en deux: strictement arboricoles et terrestres. Avec la présente, nous analysons de façon critique les différentes reconstructions phylogénétiques proposées aujourd’hui tout en conduisant une analyse sur la base des aspects moléculaires, chromosomiques et écologiques des espèces incluses dans le "groupe d'espèces" actuellement reconnu. Cette approche multidisciplinaire inclue la morphologie, l'écologie régi…
Energy-Efficient and Secure Resource Allocation for Multiple-Antenna NOMA with Wireless Power Transfer
2018
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered as one of the promising techniques for providing high data rates in the fifth generation mobile communication. By applying successive interference cancellation schemes and superposition coding at the NOMA receiver, multiple users can be multiplexed on the same subchannel. In this paper, we investigate resource allocation algorithm design for an OFDM-based NOMA system empowered by wireless power transfer. In the considered system, users who need to transmit data can only be powered by the wireless power transfer. With the consideration of an existing eavesdropper, the objective is to obtain secure and energy efficient transmission among mul…

Les compétences non académiques ressenties par les ingénieurs diplômés en France, une analyse des évolutions sur le long terme
2014
Depuis 1571 et la création du collège maritime des Accoules (Marseille), les buts affichés des écoles de formation d'ingénieur répondent à l'objectif d'enseigner de solides bases scientifiques et technologiques : cela afin de comprendre les processus mis en jeu et pouvoir ainsi les faire évoluer. Au-delà de ces savoirs, les buts comprennent aussi des références à des compétences sociales (bon citoyen, bon meneur d'hommes...). Longtemps dans l'histoire moderne, cela a évolué, par exemple entre les formations militaires, ou civiles d'inspiration publique ou privée. Les ressorts de ceci tiennent à la transformation de la société : le secteur militaire s'est étiolé, le modèle industriel fordien…
Removing krypton from xenon by cryogenic distillation to the ppq level
2017
The XENON1T experiment aims for the direct detection of dark matter in a detector filled with 3.3 tons of liquid xenon. In order to achieve the desired sensitivity, the background induced by radioactive decays inside the detector has to be sufficiently low. One major contributor is the β-emitter 85Kr which is present in the xenon. For XENON1T a concentration of natural krypton in xenon natKr/Xe<200ppq (parts per quadrillion, 1ppq=10-15mol/mol) is required. In this work, the design, construction and test of a novel cryogenic distillation column using the common McCabe–Thiele approach is described. The system demonstrated a krypton reduction factor of 6.4 · 10 5 with thermodynamic stability a…
Adaptive high-gain extended kalman filter and applications
2010
The work concerns the ``observability problem” --- the reconstruction of a dynamic process's full state from a partially measured state--- for nonlinear dynamic systems. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is a widely-used observer for such nonlinear systems. However it suffers from a lack of theoretical justifications and displays poor performance when the estimated state is far from the real state, e.g. due to large perturbations, a poor initial state estimate, etc… We propose a solution to these problems, the Adaptive High-Gain (EKF). Observability theory reveals the existence of special representations characterizing nonlinear systems having the observability property. Such representations…
Finite element analysis of laser shock peening of 2050-T8 aluminum alloy
2015
Laser shock processing is a recently developed surface treatment designed to improve the mechanical properties and fatigue performance of materials, by inducing a deep compressive residual stress field. The purpose of this work is to investigate the residual stress distribution induced by laser shock processing in a 2050-T8 aeronautical aluminium alloy with both X-ray diffraction measurements and 3D finite element simulation. The method of X-ray diffraction is extensively used to characterize the crystallographic texture and the residual stress crystalline materials at different scales (macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic).Shock loading and materials’ dynamic response are experimentally…
Antiferromagnetic Interactions in Copper(II) µ-Oxalato Dinuclear Complexes: The Role of the Counterion
2018
We report the preparation, crystal structure determination, magnetic properties and DFT calculations of five oxalato-bridged dicopper(II) complexes of formula [Cu-2(bpy)(2-)(H2O)(2)(C2O4)](CF3SO3)(2) (1), [Cu-2(bpy)(2)(C2O4)](PF6)(2) (2), [Cu-2(bpy)(2)(C2O4)](ClO4)(2) (3), [Cu-2(bpy)(2)Cl-2(C2O4)]center dot H2O (4) and [Cu-2(bpy)(2)(NO2)(2)(C2O4)] (5) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and C2O42-= oxalate). Compounds 1, 2, 4 and 5 crystallize in the monoclinic system and 3 crystallizes in the triclinic system. The oxalate ligands in 1-5 adopt the bis-bidentate coordination mode and the two bpy molecules act as terminal ligands. The coordination of the counterions and the surroundings of the copper(II) …
Batch fermentation process: Modelling and direct sensitivity analysis
2009
Based on a nonlinear model, this article realizes an investigation of dynamic behaviour of a batch fermentation process using direct sensitivity analysis (DSA). The used nonlinear mathematical model has a good qualitative and quantitative description of the alcoholic fermentation process. This model has been discussed and validated by authors in other studies. The DSA of dynamic model was used to calculate the matrix of the sensitivity functions in order to determine the influence of the small deviations of initial state, control inputs, and parameters from the ideal nominal values on the state trajectory and system output in time. Process optimization and advanced control strategies can be…
Adverse drug reactions in some African herbal medicine: literature review and stakeholders’ interview
2014
International audience; Background: In view of the large consumption of herbal medicine in Africa countries, it is likely that many adverse drugs reactions go unrecorded with either patients failing to present to health services, or no pharmacovigilance analysis being made, or the analysis not being reported centrally. This problem is of interest especially for those who are working in the general area of adverse drug reactions or stakeholders in the domain of herbal medicine for considering safety issues. Methods: We are particularly interested in the way that the use of very wellknown and highly valued plants is linked to the observation of adverse drug reactions in African countries. We …
