The present thesis is devoted to a detailed study of the Casimir force exerting between two parallel metallic plates whose conducting behaviour is described on the microscopic level. In the semi-classical regime, which corresponds to large separations and ...
In healthy subjects, sensorimotor after-effects of prism adaptation are known to be symmetric (they appear after using leftward and rightward optical deviations), whereas cognitive after-effects are asymmetric (they appear after using a leftward optical de ...
This report is the extension to the case of sparse approximations of our previous study on the effects of introducing a priori knowledge to solve the recovery of sparse representations when overcomplete dictionaries are used. Greedy algorithms and Basis Pu ...
An overview is given of the experimental method, the analysis technique and the results for trace tritium experiments conducted on the JET tokamak in 2003. Observations associated with events such as sawtooth collapses, neo-classical tearing modes and edge ...
Interaction forces between ionizable surfaces across an electrolyte solution on the Poisson-Boltzmann level are discussed within the constant regulation approximation. The chemical response of each surface is expressed in terms of two parameters, namely, t ...
Ruthenium-based anticancer chemotherapies are making significant advances in clinical trials. Until recently, the focus has been on coordination complexes, and mechanisms such as "activation by reduction" and "transferrin-targeted delivery" have been propo ...
This report studies the effect of introducing a priori knowledge to recover sparse representations when overcomplete dictionaries are used. We focus mainly on Greedy algorithms and Basis Pursuit as for our algorithmic basement, while a priori is incorporat ...
Potential solutions for energy storage are presented, in the context of renewable energies and in relation with new opportunities in the domain of the use of classical resources as fossils. From the classical pumped hydro storage to smaller energy quantiti ...
The motion correspondence problem, one of the classical examples of perceptual organization, addresses the question of how elements are grouped across space and time. Here, we investigate motion correspondences using a new feature attribution technique. We ...

The primary visual cortex (V1) is pre-wired to facilitate the extraction of behaviorally important visual features. Collinear edge detectors in V1, for instance, mutually enhance each other to improve the perception of lines against a noisy background. The ...
