On the effects of fluid pressure variations on rock-mass and fault mechanical behaviour

In the past 20 years, the growing interest in deep geo-reservoirs for purposes such as carbon storage, waste water disposal, or geothermal energy exploitation have led to large-volume fluid injections into the upper continental crust. These fluid injection ...

Repair as Practice and Knowledge. An Ethnography of Two Repair Cafés

Jérôme Baudry

Current repair initiatives, from networks of repair cafés run by local volunteers to community-turned-company iFixit, have been very successful at putting questions of repair and maintenance at the forefront of public debate. However, they have done so in ...

Spiral spin-liquid and the emergence of a vortex-like state in MnSc2S4

Jonathan White, Gregory Scott Tucker, Romain Sibille, Shang Gao

Spirals and helices are common motifs of long-range order in magnetic solids, and they may also be organized into more complex emergent structures such as magnetic skyrmions and vortices. A new type of spiral state, the spiral spin-liquid, in which spins f ...

Does computational neuroscience need new synaptic learning paradigms?

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea

Computational neuroscience is dominated by a few paradigmatic models, but it remains an open question whether the existing modelling frameworks are sufficient to explain observed behavioural phenomena in terms of neural implementation. We take learning and ...

Structure formation with massive neutrinos: going beyond linear theory

Julien Lesgourgues, Diego Blas Temino

We compute non-linear corrections to the matter power spectrum taking the time-and scale-dependent free-streaming length of neutrinos into account. We adopt a hybrid scheme that matches the full Boltzmann hierarchy to an effective two-fluid description at ...

Simulation of nonverbal social interaction and small groups dynamics in virtual environments

Anthony Guye-Vuillème

How can the behaviour of humans who interact with other humans be simulated in virtual environments? This thesis investigates the issue by proposing a number of dedicated models, computer languages, software architectures, and specifications of computation ...
