This paper proposes a new approach in the field of energy conversion systems analysis and synthesis. The method is based on a generic and multi-platform description syntax, that clearly separates the information concerning the physical behavior of the mode ...
Atomic force microscopy is being increasingly used to explore the physical properties of biological structures. This technique involves the application of a force to the sample and a monitoring of the ensuing deformation process. The available experimental ...
The aim of this thesis was to explore the statistical physics and the mechanical properties of individual biomolecules, to study their interactions, and to develop new techniques based on atomic force microscopy (AFM). First, we exploit the high resolution ...
This paper presents a new approach for estimating physical properties of deformable models from experimental measurements. In contrast to most previous work, we introduce a new method based on particle filters which identifies the different stiffness prope ...

The "segmentation clock" is thought to coordinate sequential segmentation of the body axis in vertebrate embryos. This clock comprises a multicellular genetic network of synchronized oscillators, coupled by intercellular Delta–Notch signaling. How this syn ...
Simulation is frequently used in the study of multi-agent systems. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is not necessarily clear how faithfully the details of the simulated model represent the behavior of the physical system. Often, the effects of the environm ...
This work describes the development of a software framework allowing to simulate range data acquired with different kind of sensors such as stereo camera and ultrasonic probe. The sensors characteristic error are modeled with probability density functions. ...
Transport of fluid in and around nanometer-sized objects with at least one characteristic dimension below 100 nm renders possible phenomena that are not accessible at bigger length scales. This research field is termed nanofluidics and received its name on ...
Thanks to its physical characteristics, Ultra-wideband (UWB) is one of the most promising technologies for indoor pedestrian navigation. UWB radio localisation systems however experience multipath phenomena that decrease the precision and the reliability o ...
We present a novel yet simple 3D stereo vision tracking algorithm which computes the position and orientation of an object from the location of markers attached to the object. The novelty of this algorithm is that it does not assume that the markers are tr ...
