Locomotion is an essential evolutive innovation of living beings that allows them to colonize and dominate the planet. As diverse as animal morphologies are (living) and were (extinct), their locomotion modalities are also diverse. In particular, animal mo ...
We present multi-wavelength single-shot ptychography, a technique which is ideally suited for imaging dynamically evolving plasmas. Through improvements to single-shot ptychography and a novel probe constraint, wavelength-multiplexed single-shot ptychograp ...
We present an exact mathematical framework for electromagnetic wave propagation in periodically time-modulated media, in which the permittivity is homogenous and modulated in a step-varying fashion. By using Hill’s equation theory, we show that this proble ...
Systems biology is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together all the basic sciences through the use of computational and bioinformatics tools, to provide a more integrative view of the complex molecular interactions taking place within and among cells ...
In a mixture of metal ions and complexes, it is difficult to predict ecological risk without understanding the contribution of each metal species to biouptake. For microorganisms, the rate of uptake (internalization flux) has not only a major influence on ...

In this report, we investigate mathematical algorithms for image reconstruction in the context of positron emission tomography (a medical diagnosis technique). We first take inspiration from the physics of PET to design a mathematical model tailored to the ...

The collective dynamic behavior of large groups of interacting autonomous agents (swarms) have inspired much research in both fundamental and engineering sciences. It is now widely acknowledged that the intrinsic nonlinearities due to mutual interactions c ...

Polymer plasma laser ablation has been investigated theoretically. An elegant mathematical tool using the fractal structure of space-time was developed. The model was verified with good accuracy on the existing experimental results. ...
The erosion of a surface by a sediment-laden flow is an inherently multiscale phenomenon which includes physical interactions covering many orders of magnitude in both length and time scales. Conforming to the nature of the problem, we propose a novel mult ...
Free surface flows in several shallow rectangular basins have been analyzed experimentally, numerically and theoretically. Different geometries, characterized by different widths and lengths, are considered as well as different hydraulic conditions. First, ...
