Distinguishing between two crus : as easy as picking the right side ? : Effect of expertise on conceptual and perceptual representations of Beaujolai…
2017
L’expertise a été étudiée en psychologie cognitive afin de comprendre les mécanismes psychologiques et les compétences intervenant dans différents domaines d’expertise. Dans le domaine du vin, les quelques études menées suggèrent que les experts organiseraient leurs connaissances autour de « prototypes » de couleur ou de cépage. L’objectif général de cette thèse visait à répondre aux questionnements théoriques concernant les représentations des vins d’experts et de novices, ainsi qu’aux questionnements de la filière concernant les perceptions des vins du Beaujolais. Pour cela, l’effet de l’expertise sur les représentations des vins a été évalué en comparant les performances de trois panels …
Bending effect on the risk for delamination at the reinforcement/matrix interface of 3D woven fabric composite using a shell-like RVE
2012
This paper presents a computational homogenisation-based technique for flexural effects in textile reinforced composite planar shells. An homogenisation procedure is used for the in-plane and the out-of-plane behaviour of three-dimensional woven composite shells, taking the in-plane periodicity of the material into account while relaxing any periodicity tying in the thickness direction. Several types of damage (matrix or reinforcement cracking, delamination, …) can appear in a composite material. In this paper, material non-linear computations are used to assess the importance of bending on the risk for delamination at the reinforcement/matrix interface. The normal and tangential stresses a…
Travailler dans la recherche privée au sortir d'une école d'ingénieur
2011
In this paper, we analyse the incentives for graduates from engineering schools to work in R&D activities. First, we focus on the remuneration of R&D activities in private companies. The results suggest clearly a lower remuneration of R&D in comparison to other activities, all things being equal. Then, we test the hypothesis of a "taste of research". According this hypothesis, engineers working in R&D activities are willing to accept lower earnings due to intrinsic benefits they get from their work. The results do not fully validate this hypothesis. Indeed, engineers involved in R&D activities have a greater dissatisfaction about the remuneration they receive, but also concerning many aspec…
Assessment wine aroma persistence by using an in vivo PTR-ToF-MS approach and its relationship with salivary parameters
2019
To better understand wine aroma persistence, the nasal cavity of nine volunteers was monitored by Proton Transfer Reaction-Time of Flight-Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) after they rinsed their mouths with three rosé wines (one control and the same wine supplemented with two tannin extracts) during four minutes. Wines were aromatised with a mixture of five target aroma compounds. Results showed that wine aroma persistence was highly compound-dependent: while esters disappeared very fast, other compounds such as linalool remained in the oral cavity for longer times after wine expectoration. A low effect of tannins (at 50 mg/L) on nasal cavity parameters was observed, with the exception for th…
Integration of thermal building simulation and VR techniques for sustainable building projects
2013
Déjà présent sur HAL mais sans le fichier pdf; The importance of energy efficiency and integration of advances in building design and VR technology have led this research to focus on thermal simulation results visualized in a virtual environment to optimize building design. This paper combines the principle of integration for thermal calculation and scientific visualization in VR. The method is to use CAD models (extensively used in architectural design) to analyze a building's thermal performance and visualize it, as well as simulating it through VR technology. Interaction between users and objects in a virtual world are certainly through techniques of visualization metaphors. The object o…
Knowledge engineering and semantic formalism of symbolic relations. From medieval network to web 3.0
2020
A search has always been at the center of human concerns, the one of conditions and means to represent, to control well, and to communicate effectively with his environment. While technological advances and electronic gadgets such as smartphones, the Web, and online social networks currently allow addressing this concern, it has not always been the case. Our works in this thesis treat medieval documents considered as a medium of communication and as a model of the social network in the Middle Ages. These documents are called medieval illuminations. They were luxurious paintings used in that time to represent the environment and ideal world for elites such as prince, duke, etc. Those paintin…
Analysis of laser shock waves and resulting surface deformations in an Al-Cu-Li aluminium alloy
2012
Abstract Laser shock processing is now a recognized surface treatment for improving fatigue or corrosion behaviour of metallic materials through the generation of a compressive stress field. In turn, the analysis of shock wave propagation is of primary importance to predict numerically morphological and mechanical surface modifications. Considering experimental and numerical analyses of shock wave propagation, and surface deformations induced by single impacts, a 2050 aluminum alloy having different microstructures was investigated under laser-shock loading. In a first step, the evolution of shock wave attenuation and elastic precursor amplitude was correctly reproduced by finite element si…
Adapting to Dynamic LEO-B5G Systems : Meta-Critic Learning Based Efficient Resource Scheduling
2022
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite-assisted communications have been considered as one of key elements in beyond 5G systems to provide wide coverage and cost-efficient data services. Such dynamic space-terrestrial topologies impose exponential increase in the degrees of freedom in network management. In this paper, we address two practical issues for an over-loaded LEO-terrestrial system. The first challenge is how to efficiently schedule resources to serve the massive number of connected users, such that more data and users can be delivered/served. The second challenge is how to make the algorithmic solution more resilient in adapting to dynamic wireless environments.To address them, we first…
Sensor Fusion Combining 3-D and 2-D for Depth Data Enhancement
2012
Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras are known to be cost-efficient 3-D sensing systems capable of providing full scene depth information at a high frame rate. Among many other advantages, ToF cameras are able to provide distance information regardless of the illumination conditions and with no texture dependency, which makes them very suitable for computer vision and robotic applications where reliable distance measurements are required. However, the resolution of the given depth maps is far below the resolution given by standard 2-D video cameras which, indeed, restricts the use of ToF cameras in real applications such as those for safety and surveillance. In this thesis, we therefore investigate…
When the nose must remain responsive: glutathione conjugation of the mammary pheromone in the newborn rabbit
2014
In insects, xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes were demonstrated to regulate pheromones inactivation, clearing them from the olfactory periphery and keeping receptors ready for stimulation renewal. Here, we investigate whether similar processes could occur in mammals, focusing on the pheromonal communication between female rabbits and their newborns. Lactating rabbits emit in their milk a volatile aldehyde, 2-methylbut-2-enal, that elicits searching-grasping in neonates; called the mammary pheromone (MP), it is critical for pups which are constrained to find nipples within the 5 min of daily nursing. For newborns, it is thus essential to remain sensitive to this odorant during the whole nursin…
