Nonlinear Time-Series Adaptation for Land Cover Classification

2017

Automatic land cover classification from satellite image time series is of paramount relevance to assess vegetation and crop status, with important implications in agriculture, biofuels, and food. However, due to the high cost and human resources needed to characterize and classify land cover through field campaigns, a recurrent limiting factor is the lack of available labeled data. On top of this, the biophysical–geophysical variables exhibit particular temporal structures that need to be exploited. Land cover classification based on image time series is very complex because of the data manifold distortions through time. We propose the use of the kernel manifold alignment (KEMA) method for…

L'habitat et la nécropole celtes de Cagny Carrefour Philippe

2015

The site of Cagny on the "Plaine de Caen" was excavated from February to July 2008 and was the first site in Lower Normandy to reap the benefits of large sacle mechanical earth moving, the entire site being revealed over 13.6 acres. Beyond the two enclosures identified during a prior archaeological evaluation, this strategy, prescribed by the Ministry of Culture and Communication's archeological service in Lower-Normandy, resulted in the detection of unexpected remains and occupations. Indeed, we were able to study a settlement dating back to the Middle Neolithic II and a large necropolis with monuments dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Ages. For the Iron Age, features revealing domestic…

Contribution and effectiveness of ski and pole forces in selected roller skiing techniques on treadmill at moderate inclines

2023

BackgroundMost of the studies about the effects of incline on cross-country skiing are related to the metabolic efficiency. The effective skiing biomechanics has also been indicated to be among the key factors that may promote good performance. The aims of this study were to provide biomechanical characteristics and investigate the relative contribution and effectiveness of ski and pole forces in overcoming the total external resistance with double poling (DP) and Gear 3 (G3) techniques at varying moderate uphill inclines.Methods10 male cross-country skiers participated in this study. Custom-made force measurement bindings, pole force sensors, and an 8-camera Vicon system were used to colle…

Au-delà de la frontière : la Charte de Lampedusa, un exemple de réécriture des droits contre la logique de l’enfermement

2015

The paper describes the elaboration of the Charter of Lampedusa. It focuses on the political and geopolitical upheavals of 2014, paying particular attention to the evolving humanitarian-military devices of border management and controls deployed in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Borders are analyzed not only with respect to their function of geographic separation, but also as social, cultural, and economic markers. The objectives and limits of the Charter are explored in light of its capacity to represent an alternative vision against the political, economic, social and cultural predominant model in Europe. It is argued that this model needs to be completely restructured. The alternative visi…

Inter-area oscillations in the 500-kV Vietnamese power system

2019

The paper presents the study of the 500-kV Vietnamese power system. The oscillatory response of the system is analyzed both with a modal analysis and a time domain analysis. The 500-kV system of Vietnam is modeled in details, including all the power plants with the corresponding regulators. The model is developed in collaboration with the Institute of Energy Science IES-VAST of Vietnam and it is validated with the data provided by the National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC) of Vietnam. The simulation results reveal a clear identification of potential inter-area oscillations between North and South of the Country. A worsening of the observed phenomenon should be considered as possible, especial…

Graphic hyperboles and critical dystopia in Miguel Brieva's drawings

2020

Dorothée CHOUITEM, Louis IMPERIALE, Joanna WILK-RACIĘSKA (coord); International audience; Dans les dessins de Miguel Brieva (Séville, 1974), l’humour participe assurément d’un exercice de déconstruction. Critique, moqueur, destructeur, son geste graphique se complait dans la propension à l’exagération, à l’hyperbole et au « superlatif ». L’intention est de mettre au jour les nouvelles formes de violence de la période présente de l’hypercapitalisme. La félicité n’étant guère questionneuse, c’est le dessin, en tant qu’outil de monstration, qui sera chargé de présenter les contreparties de nos jouissances acquises. Les images auront ici pour ambition de participer au renversement des insoutena…

Living in Dignity in the XXIst Century: Poverty and Inequality, a paradox in Societies of Rights and Democracy?

2013

In 2010, The Council of Europe Social Cohesion, Research and Early Warning Division and the Directorate General of Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of European Commission launched the project entitled "Human rights of people experiencing poverty". This Guide is therefore the outcome of the meetings, exchanges of experiencex and theoretical discussions between more than 50 experts from academic, associative and trade union circles, and from individuals who, for various reasons, can be regarded as direct witness of contemporary poverty. Part I of this guide begins with the analysis of the inequalities in wealth distribution and of their effects in terms of insecurity and rising povert…
