The main objective of this thesis is to improve the understanding of the position and characteristics of karst conduits within a rock massif. Such a characterisation is an important issue in civil engineering and in hydrogeology. Today in practice dissolut ...
Classically, fundamental diagrams are estimated front aggregated data at a specific location. Such a measurement method may lead to inconsistency, which mainly explains the current controversy about their shape. This paper proposes a new estimation method ...

The precise analog of the theta-quantization ambiguity of Yang-Mills theory exists for the real SU(2) connection formulation of general relativity. As in the former case theta labels representations of large gauge transformations, which are super-selection ...
International sea-freight container transport has grown dramatically over the last years and container terminals play nowadays a key-role in the global shipping network. Increasing competition and competitiveness among terminals require more and more effic ...
We consider the recovery of an airline schedule after an unpredicted event, commonly called disruption, that makes the planned schedule unfeasible. In particular we consider the aircraft recovery problem for a heterogeneous fleet of aircrafts, made of regu ...

Marseille présente un territoire déséquilibré, une fragmentation Nord/Sud claire, avec une mer inaccessible dans la partie Nord, suite à une colonisation progressive du littoral par l'activité portuaire. Il fût un temps où les marchandises débarquaient de ...
Point source searches with the IceCube neutrino telescope have been restricted to one hemisphere, due to the exclusive selection of upward going events as a way of rejecting the atmospheric muon background. We show that the region above the horizon can be ...
In theories with a large number N of particle species, black hole physics imposes an upper bound on the mass of the species equal to M-Planck/root N. This bound suggests a novel solution to the hierarchy problem in which there are N approximate to 10(32) g ...
Due to the limited pumping capacity in lowland water systems, reduction of system failure requires anticipation of extreme precipitation events. This can be done by Model Predictive Control that optimizes an objective function over a certain time horizon, ...
