description: Model Predictive Control (MPC) has become a popular framework in embedded control for high-performance autonomous systems. However, to achieve good control performance using MPC, an accurate dynamics model is key. To maintain real-time operation, the dynamics models used on embedded systems have been limited to simple first-principle models, which substantially limits their representative power. In contrast to such simple models, machine learning approaches, specifically neural networks, have been shown to accurately model even complex dynamic effects, but their large computational complexity hindered combination with fast real-time iteration loops. With this work, we present Real-time Neural MPC, a framework to efficiently integrate large, complex neural network architectures as dynamics models within a model-predictive control pipeline. Our experiments, performed in simulation and the real world onboard a highly agile quadrotor platform, demonstrate the capabilities of the described system to run learned models with, previously infeasible, large modeling capacity using gradient-based online optimization MPC. Compared to prior implementations of neural networks in online optimization MPC we can leverage models of over 4000 times larger parametric capacity in a 50Hz real-time window on an embedded platform. Further, we show the feasibility of our framework on real-world problems by reducing the positional tracking error by up to 82% when compared to state-of-the-art MPC approaches without neural network dynamics.

description: Le plâtre est un matériau couramment utilisé dans les infrastructures actuelles en tant que régulateur thermique et, dans un contexte de construction durable, c’est un matériau intéressant par sa recyclabilité. Dans le patrimoine, on le retrouve couramment en application directe comme enduit de finition ou comme support de peintures. C’est également une solution utilisée pour se prémunir des effets d’un incendie, le processus de déshydratation induit par l’élévation de température assurant la fonction de protection passive. Le transfert d’eau de déshydratation, potentiellement associé à des ions sulfates véhiculés en phase gazeuse, peut cependant être problématique par les désordres chimiques et mécaniques dans les matériaux sous-jacents qu’ils pourraient induire. Les conséquences d’une telle contamination sont d’autant plus importantes dans les monuments historiques où le concept de conservation des matériaux originaux est primordial lors des opérations de restauration. Dans ce projet d’article, le cas de plaques planes à base de plâtre d’épaisseur constante et chauffée sur une face est étudié expérimentalement pour caractériser le transfert de masse, caractériser et doser les sels solubles piégés au cours du temps à la face non exposée du panneau par chromatographie ionique. Le risque de contamination est alors formulé en recourant à un hémihydrate de sulfate de calcium commun du marché d’aujourd’hui.

description: Given a natural $n$, we construct a two-coloring of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the maximum metric satisfying the following. For any finite set of reals $S$ with diameter greater than $5^{n}$ such that the distance between any two consecutive points of $S$ does not exceed one, no isometric copy of $S$ is monochromatic. As a corollary, we prove that any normed space can be two-colored such that all sufficiently long unit arithmetic progressions contain points of both colors.

description: Le recenti trasformazioni culturali, sociali ed economiche della società spagnola hanno prodotto un notevole cambiamento delle famiglie, quanto a tipologie, forme di legame, ruoli dei singoli membri e valori da trasmettere. Di fronte a questo scenario profondamente mutato i servizi per la prima infanzia hanno il compito di adeguarsi e di stabilire modalità adeguate per favorire la relazione con le famiglie. Le autrici prendono in analisi le barriere che ostacolano una corretta relazione tra scuola e genitori e poi procedono a indicare una serie di tappe seguendo le quali tale relazione può svilupparsi in modo efficace e productivo per la formazione dei più piccoli. Particolare attenzione è riservata all’associazionismo dei genitori, trascurato dalle istituzioni, e invece considerato dalle autrici un elemento imprescindibile per un’educazione democratica.

description: Il contributo, di natura teorica, è centrato sul valore formativo della lettura e sul ruolo dei genitori nell’iniziazione alla pratica della lettura. Quest’ultima si configura in maniera differente a seconda delle varie fasi dello sviluppo evolutivo. Mentre nella fase pre-scolare il libro si presenta come un oggetto con cui familiarizzare il bambino, attraverso l’associazione di suoni e immagini alle parole, verso i tre-quattro anni ha avvio la fase della narrazione condotta dall’adulto, genitore o educatore. La fase della vera e propria lettura autonoma avviene nella seconda infanzia, quando il ruolo del genitore o dell’insegnante si trasforma, assumendo i compiti di stimolare alla lettura, di proporre una gamma variegata di letture e di formare a una organizzazione dei tempi della lettura stessa. L’adulto assume anche una funzione dialettica nella relazione con il figlio, fondata sul confronto dei punti di vista in rapporto ai contenuti letti, così da sviluppare l’abitudine all’ascolto reciproco delle rispettive argomentazioni. Un approccio, questo, che non si esaurisce con il raggiungimento dell’età adulta, ma che si configura come uno stile da coltivare lungo tutto l’arco della vita.

description: La relazione tra lettura e studio implica un vicendevole condizionamento i cui effetti si ripercuotono in ambito culturale, sociale ma anche politico ed economico. Il presente contributo ripercorre le fasi di costruzione dei processi di apprendimento della lettura, anche attraverso un’analisi dei precursori, sottolineando la necessità di un’attenzione costante al rapporto tra lettura funzionale e lettura sensuale. Nell’ambito della relazione educativa, l’approccio metacognitivo rappresenta una metodologia efficace per promuovere le abilità di studio poiché, avvalendosi anche del sostegno dei processi motivazionali, favorisce la lettura strategica. Il riferimento costante al ruolo e alla responsabilità degli adulti per incoraggiare e rafforzare la lettura, viene sostenuto anche da indicazioni operative differenziate in base alle diverse età, dall’asilo nido alla scuola secondaria di secondo grado.

description: Being able to reliably transfer the quantum state from one system to another is crucial to developing quantum networks. A standard way to accomplish this transfer of information is by making use of an intermediate information carrier (e.g., a photon) that is emitted by the first system and absorbed by the second. For such a scenario one can develop an effective description by eliminating the intermediate degrees of freedom, which yields an effective direct coupling between the two systems. If, however, the spectral properties of the two systems are different, the photon's time-frequency shape needs to be appropriately modified before it reaches the second system. We study here the effective description that results when we thus manipulate the intermediate photon. We examine a unitary transformation, $U$, that time reverses, frequency translates, and stretches the photon wave packet. We find that the concomitant modifications to the effective description can best be understood in terms of a change to the state's time argument, $ρ(t) = ρ_1(\tilde{t}) \otimes ρ_2(t)$, where $\tilde{t}$ is a fictitious time for the first system that is stretched and runs backward. We apply this theory to three-level $Λ$-systems inside optical cavities, and we numerically illustrate how performing the unitary transformation $U$ results in improved quantum state transfer.

description: Background: Few studies have used the same references across countries to examine the trends of over- and underweight in older children and adolescents. Objective: Using international references, we examined the trends of overweight and underweight in young persons aged 6–18 y from 4 countries. Design: Nationally representative data from Brazil (1975 and 1997), Russia (1992 and 1998), and the United States (1971–1974 and 1988–1994) and nationwide survey data from China (1991 and 1997) were used. To define overweight, we used the sex- and age-specific body mass index cutoffs recommended by the International Obesity Task Force. The sex- and age-specific body mass index fifth percentile from the first US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to define underweight. Results: The prevalence of overweight increased during the study periods in Brazil (from 4.1 to 13.9), China (from 6.4 to 7.7), and the United States (from 15.4 to 25.6); underweight decreased in Brazil (from 14.8 to 8.6), China (from 14.5 to 13.1), and the United States (from 5.1 to 3.3). In Russia, overweight decreased (from 15.6 to 9.0) and underweight increased (from 6.9 to 8.1). The annual rates of increase in the prevalence of overweight were 0.5% (Brazil), 0.2% (China), −1.1% (Russia), and 0.6% (United States). Conclusions: The burden of nutritional problems is shifting from energy imbalance deficiency to excess among older children and adolescents in Brazil and China. The variations across countries may relate to changes and differences in key environmental factors.

description: Hyperbolic curvature flow is a geometric evolution equation that in the plane can be viewed as the natural hyperbolic analogue of curve shortening flow. It was proposed by Gurtin and Podio-Guidugli (1991) to model certain wave phenomena in solid-liquid interfaces. We introduce a semidiscrete finite difference method for the approximation of hyperbolic curvature flow and prove error bounds for natural discrete norms. We also present numerical simulations, including the onset of singularities starting from smooth strictly convex initial data.

In the latter we recall the emergence of the famous Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz-like equation which has been found by Mayer expansion techniques. Here we combine efficiently these to field theory arguments. In a nutshell, we find natural and resolutive the introduction of a new operator $\nabla$ that distinguishes the singularities within and outside the integration contour of the partition function.

description: Dallo studio sui servizi educativi per la prima infanzia in Israele emerge un quadro piuttosto articolato e ricco di esperienze e di interventi. Fin dalla sua fondazione, lo Stato di Israele, ha sostenuto e considerato prioritario l’inserimento della fascia di età 3-6 anni all’interno dell’intero sistema scolastico pubblico. Per i bambini in età 0-3, invece, l’offerta educativa è rimasta vincolata alle organizzazioni private o locali. All’interno di queste differenti tipologie di interventi si inseriscono le proposte educative offerte dai kibbutzim e dalle associazioni, in particolare quella internazionale della WIZO. L’articolo vuole quindi offrire una riflessione introduttiva su una realtà sociale che sta ancora interrogandosi su quali servizi progettare per una richiesta sempre più in crescita di interventi educativi di qualità per i bambini della prima infanzia.

Experimental caracterization and multi-scale modeling of the linear viscoelastic properties of aged asphalt concretes

description: RILEM ageing procedure allowing to simulate in laboratory in short time the ageing that usually occurs between 5 and 10 years in asphalt pavement in-situ is used to prepare aged asphalt concrete (AC) specimens. Four accelerated ageing durations (0, 3, 6 and 9 days) are considered to simulate the long-term ageing (LTA). The bitumens of the aged AC are extracted and then characterized. Their shear modulus |G*| and phase angle φ are measured from -20°C to 80°C at different frequencies and calibrated with the well-known 2S2P1D model. The parameters of the latter are used as input data in a multi-scale model. This model relies on three scales: the mastic scale (bitumen + fillers smaller than 63 µm), the mortar scale (mastic + sand smaller than 2 mm) and the AC scale (mortar + coarse aggregates from 2 to 10 mm coated with thin bituminous mastic). Its implementation combines Mori-Tanaka scheme (adapted to a matrix/inclusion medium) at both mastic and mortar scales and a self-consistent scheme (adapted to a disordered medium) at the AC scale with a possible contact between the coarse aggregates necessary to well predict the moduli of AC at high temperature and low frequency. Based on the rheological properties of the bitumen and aggregates and the volume fractions of the constituent materials, the multi-scale model allows to predict the stiffness moduli (|E*|) and the phase angle of the AC at each ageing level. The predictions of the multi-scale model agree with the measurements over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.

Results of combining the WRA and the FP resonance can be utilized to eliminate the necessity of using the index matching technique and the core-shell structure for enhancing the performance of extraordinary optical transmission devices. Further, the outcomes of combining the WRA and the FP resonance can elucidate some of the unexplained results in the literature.

description: The “Festa dei Gigli” is held annually on June 22nd in Nola, Campania, in honor of San Paolino, the city’s co-patron saint, and is celebrated by thousands of people who come from all over the world to take part in this event. The “giglio” is a wooden obelisk, 25 meters high and weighing about 12 quintals, covered in papier-mache, and named after eight ancient craft guilds: “Ortolano”, “Salumiere”, “Bettoliere”, “Panettiere”, “Beccaio”, “Calzolaio”, “Fabbro” and “Sarto”. The gigli are carried by about 120 men, called “paranza,” following the rhythm of the music played by musicians and singers on two wooden boards. The procession winds through the historic streets of the city, from Sunday morning until the first light of the following day. The article also compares the “Festa dei Gigli” to other historic events, such as the “trionfi” of medieval Florence, and describes the origins of the “ex voto” tradition.*

description: Le béton, produit de construction manufacturé le plus consommé au monde, réputé pour sa facilité d’utilisation et sa durabilité, est très décrié pour son impact environnemental. Pour diminuer cet impact, le développement de bétons plus respectueux de l’environnement et toujours adaptés aux conditions d’exposition des ouvrages constitue un objectif sociétal majeur. Pour qualifier ces bétons, il est possible depuis le début des années 2000 d’appliquer une approche dite « performantielle » qui consiste à appréhender leur durabilité en considérant, en plus de certaines données liées à la formulation, certaines propriétés du matériau dont on sait qu’elles présentent un intérêt pour prévoir l’évolution de celui-ci lorsqu’il est exposé à des conditions environnementales données. Cependant, cette approche performantielle ne faisait pas l’objet de règles normatives détaillées que ce soit au niveau français comme au niveau européen. L’objectif du Projet National PerfDuB (Approche Performantielle de la Durabilité des ouvrages en Béton), lancé en 2015, était de définir une méthodologie reconnue pour la mise en œuvre de l’approche performantielle et faisant consensus parmi tous les acteurs (fournisseurs de constituants, producteurs de béton, prescripteurs et utilisateurs). Ce projet, doté d’un budget de près de 4 M€ et regroupant une cinquantaine de partenaires volontaires, a conduit à l’établissement d’un fascicule de documentation (FD P18-480) et à la mise au point de plusieurs essais de caractérisation, dont la plupart ont été normalisés. Cet article a pour objectif de présenter la contribution du Projet National PerfDuB aux enjeux de développement durable en termes d’optimisation technico-économique des ouvrages en béton et le saut technologique majeur que permet l’approche performantielle de la durabilité des ouvrages en béton basée sur une obligation de résultats par rapport aux pratiques actuelles basées sur une approche de prescription de moyens.

description: Recently, some authors removed the big-bang singularity and predicted an infinite age of our universe. In this paper, we show that the same result can be obtained in string theory and M-theory; however, the shape of universe changes in different epochs. In our mechanism, first, N fundamental string decay to N D0-anti-D0-brane. Then, D0-branes join to each other, grow and and form a six-dimensional brane-antibrane system. This system is unstable, broken and present form of four dimensional universes , one anti-universe in additional to one wormhole are produced. Thus, there isn't any big-bang in cosmology and universe is a fundamental string at the beginning. Also, total age of universe contains two parts, one in related to initial age and second which is corresponded to present age of universe ($t_{tot}=t_{initial}+t_{present}$). On the other hand, initial age of universe includes two parts, the age of fundamental string and time of transition ($t_{initial}=t_{transition}+t_{f-string}$). We observe that only in the case of ($t_{f-string}\rightarrow \infty$), the scale factor of universe is zero and as a result, total age of universe is infinity.

description: We present a method to automatically calculate time to fixate (TTF) from the eye-tracker data in subjects with neurological impairment using a driving simulator. TTF presents the time interval for a person to notice the stimulus from its first occurrence. Precisely, we measured the time since the children started to cross the street until the drivers directed their look to the children. From 108 neurological patients recruited for the study, the analysis of TTF was performed in 56 patients to assess fit-, unfit-, and conditionally-fit-to-drive patients. The results showed that the proposed method based on the YOLO (you only look once) object detector is efficient for computing TTFs from the eye-tracker data. We obtained discriminative results for fit-to-drive patients by application of Tukey's honest significant difference post hoc test (p < 0.01), while no difference was observed between conditionally-fit and unfit-to-drive groups (p = 0.542). Moreover, we show that time-to-collision (TTC), initial gaze distance (IGD) from pedestrians, and speed at the hazard onset did not influence the result, while the only significant interaction is among fitness, IGD, and TTC on TTF. Obtained TTFs are also compared with the perception response times (PRT) calculated independently from eye-tracker data and YOLO. Although we reached statistically significant results that speak in favor of possible method application for assessment of fitness to drive, we provide detailed directions for future driving simulation-based evaluation and propose processing workflow to secure reliable TTF calculation and its possible application in for example psychology and neuroscience.

Modélisation thermique des matériaux environnant la grotte de Lascaux

description: La conservation du patrimoine est un enjeu social de plus en plus prégnant à cause du changement climatique. La grotte de Lascaux est particulièrement affectée par ce dérèglement qui pourrait engendrer l’apparition d’altérations sur les parois ornées. Afin de limiter cet impact, nous menons des travaux sur les transferts thermiques dans le massif rocheux. De par la nature du site, la caractérisation du massif rocheux ne peut être effectuée que par des méthodes non destructives. La tomographie de Résistivité Electrique (TRE) nous permet de mesurer la résistivité des matériaux constituant le massif rocheux autour de la grotte. La classification de ces données par des algorithmes de Machine Learning a permis de décomposer le massif en plusieurs zones présentant des propriétés similaires. L’interpolation par krigeage a permis de construire un modèle 3D subdivisé en domaines supposés thermiquement homogènes. L’utilisation de méthodes inverses sur des mesures de température (capteurs installés dans la grotte et à la surface du sol) nous ont fourni une estimation des propriétés thermiques des matériaux. Cette meilleure compréhension des transferts thermiques qui s’opèrent dans l’environnement de la grotte permettra une stratégie de conservation plus aboutie qu’actuellement. Cette méthodologie est applicable aux ouvrages souterrains, à la géothermie et aux ouvrages d’art.

description: We compute multi-instanton amplitudes in the sine-Gordon quantum mechanics (periodic cosine potential) by integrating out quasi-moduli parameters corresponding to separations of instantons and anti-instantons. We propose an extension of Bogomolnyi--Zinn-Justin prescription for multi-instanton configurations and an appropriate subtraction scheme. We obtain the multi-instanton contributions to the energy eigenvalue of the lowest band at the zeroth order of the coupling constant. For the configurations with only instantons (anti-instantons), we obtain unambiguous results. For those with both instantons and anti-instantons, we obtain results with imaginary parts, which depend on the path of analytic continuation. We show that the imaginary parts of the multi-instanton amplitudes precisely cancel the imaginary parts of the Borel resummation of the perturbation series, and verify that our results completely agree with those based on the uniform-WKB calculations, thus confirming the resurgence : divergent perturbation series combined with the nonperturbative multi-instanton contributions conspire to give unambiguous results. We also study the neutral bion contributions in the ${\mathbb C}P^{N-1}$ model on ${\mathbb R}^1\times S^{1}$ with a small circumference, taking account of the relative phase moduli between the fractional instanton and anti-instanton. We find that the sign of the interaction potential depends on the relative phase moduli, and that both the real and imaginary parts resulting from quasi-moduli integral of the neutral bion get quantitative corrections compared to the sine-Gordon quantum mechanics.

Già durante la gestazione esso è utile per creare un ambiente affettivamente ricco (voci, espressioni in motherese, canti, musiche). Fin dai primi mesi di vita, inoltre, il bambino trova continue occasioni per sperimentare con voce, corpo e strumenti vari. Questo bagaglio sonoro forma nel soggetto una vera e propria identità musicale, fatta di esperienze prenatali e neonatali, di emozioni, sensi e valori costruiti intorno alla musica. Ecco dunque una nuova frontiera di studio: l’autobiografia musicale, per rivedere la propria identità da questo punto di vista così essenziale, eppure ancora inesplorato.

Three Strategies for Changing Attributions about Severe Mental Illness

description: The effects of three strategies for changing stigmatizing attitudes—education (which replaces myths about mental illness with accurate conceptions), contact (which challenges public attitudes about mental illness through direct interactions with persons who have these disorders), and protest (which seeks to suppress stigmatizing attitudes about mental illness)—were examined on attributions about schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses. One hundred and fifty-two students at a community college were randomly assigned to one of the three strategies or a control condition. They completed a questionnaire about attributions toward six groups—depression, psychosis, cocaine addiction, mental retardation, cancer, and AIDS—prior to and after completing the assigned condition. As expected, results showed that education had no effect on attributions about physical disabilities but led to improved attributions in all four psychiatric groups. Contact produced positive changes that exceeded education effects in attributions about targeted psychiatric disabilities: depression and psychosis. Protest yielded no significant changes in attributions about any group. This study also examined the effects of these strategies on processing information about mental illness.

description: We introduce the notion of cell division-induced activity and show that the cell division generates extensile forces and drives dynamical patterns in cell assemblies. Extending the hydrodynamic models of lyotropic active nematics we describe turbulent-like velocity fields that are generated by the cell division in a confluent monolayer of cells. We show that the experimentally measured flow field of dividing Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells is reproduced by our modeling approach. Division-induced activity acts together with intrinsic activity of the cells in extensile and contractile cell assemblies to change the flow and director patterns and the density of topological defects. Finally we model the evolution of the boundary of a cellular colony and compare the fingering instabilities induced by cell division to experimental observations on the expansion of MDCK cell cultures.

Effet de la variation de température sur les conditions de collage entre les couches des chaussées bitumineuses
Creators: name: AL BACHA, Marina
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2023

description: Les couches de surface d’une chaussée routière sont soumises à l’action de plusieurs mécanismes d’endommagement, causés par le passage des véhicules lourds. Ainsi, dû à leur comportement viscoélastique, les contraintes et les déformations générées dans les couches bitumineuses sont fortement dépendantes de la charge du véhicule et des conditions climatiques. Dans le cadre du projet de recherche Binary, la quantification des contraintes et des déformations dans les couches de surface bitumineuses est réalisée en laboratoire et en vraie grandeur, en utilisant un essai accéléré sur chaussée, réalisé sur 4 structures de chaussée différentes. Par ailleurs, des simulations numériques à l’aide du logiciel de modélisation de chaussées Viscoroute© 2.0, sont réalisées afin de comparer avec les résultats expérimentaux. Le but de cet article est d’étudier l’effet de la variation de température sur la distribution des déformations de part et d’autre de l’interface entre la couche de roulement, et l’assise de chaussée. Les résultats montrent que contrairement à ce qui est supposé dans les méthodes de dimensionnement des chaussées, les interfaces entre les couches ne sont pas parfaitement collées, mais que les conditions de contact varient considérablement avec la température. Cela peut générer des contraintes de traction importantes dans les couches de surface, ce qui entraine des risques de fissuration de ces couches.

Régularisation en compression d’un modèle de Mazars modifié

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering

description: Dans le cadre des méthodes de simulations du comportement mécanique des structures en béton par éléments finis, la régularisation des paramètres de traction du modèle matériau par la méthode de Hillerborg est aujourd’hui largement acceptée. Par nature, ses limites peuvent néanmoins être constatées sur des structures dont le fonctionnement est principalement gouverné par l’écrasement du béton en compression. La définition de l’énergie de fissuration en compression (et notamment sa mesure) est cependant encore largement discutée dans la communauté scientifique, mais l’absence de régularisation en compression lors de telles simulations conduit à une forte dépendance de la réponse au maillage, ce qui peut mener à un comportement trop fragile par rapport à ce qui est observé expérimentalement.. Cette contribution présentera une nouvelle loi de comportement sur la base d’un critère de Mazars, intégrant à la fois une régularisation en traction et en compression, à l’aide de la modification de la loi d’évolution de l’endommagement en compression. Son application sur des cas-tests représentatifs montrera notamment l’intérêt d’introduire une régularisation en compression pour réduire la dépendance de la solution numérique au maillage.

Des «nouveaux grands-parents» et grand- parentalité: entre prescriptions normatives et ouvertures

description: Young, more numerous, socially active, with a newly positive image, increasingly involved in games of family solidarity, and having a close relationship with their grandchildren in a framework of new bonds of affection: these are some of the features of the new portrait of grandparenthood. In reality, the range is quite wide since the art of being grandparents, and the way in which grandparents play their role, for different reasons, can vary. This article invites us to ask ourselves about the social, cultural and psychological conditions that favour and hinder both the construction of the grandparents’ identity, and how they perform their functions in a transforming society. In this work, grandparenthood is considered as: a) a challenge between generations, with regard to which we investigate the principle of keeping a “good distance” as the normative rule; b) a stage in life that implies a new definition of gender identities and attributions of roles within the couple, with regard to which we specifically dwell on the figure of the grandfather.

description: L’impression 3D permet de fabriquer des structures en disposant la matière aux endroits stratégiques, fabriquer des géométries creuses et limiter ainsi les ressources utilisées. Dans le cadre de l’impression 3D de béton à grande échelle appliqué au secteur de la construction, une optimisation et une étude du mélange utilisé sont nécessaires afin de ne pas consommer abusivement de ciments [1]. Cet article se propose d’utiliser des modèles d’empilement granulaire (notamment le modèle de l’empilement compressible [2]) pour formuler des bétons imprimables et réduire les quantités de ciments en en substituant une partie par des liants alternatifs. Le respect du cahier des charges pour un process d’impression 3D y est détaillé : pompabilité, extrudabilité et structurabilité. Les performances mécaniques de différents mix sont comparées, en flexion et compression puis sont ensuite validés lors d’une session d’impression 3D en laboratoire et en usine.

description: Bayesian procedures designed to quantify truncation errors in perturbative calculations of quantum chromodynamics observables are adapted to expansions in effective field theory (EFT). In the Bayesian approach, such truncation errors are derived from degree-of-belief (DOB) intervals for EFT predictions. Computation of these intervals requires specification of prior probability distributions ("priors") for the expansion coefficients. By encoding expectations about the naturalness of these coefficients, this framework provides a statistical interpretation of the standard EFT procedure where truncation errors are estimated using the order-by-order convergence of the expansion. It also permits exploration of the ways in which such error bars are, and are not, sensitive to assumptions about EFT-coefficient naturalness. We first demonstrate the calculation of Bayesian probability distributions for the EFT truncation error in some representative examples, and then focus on the application of chiral EFT to neutron-proton scattering. Epelbaum, Krebs, and Meißner recently articulated explicit rules for estimating truncation errors in such EFT calculations of few-nucleon-system properties. We find that their basic procedure emerges generically from one class of naturalness priors considered, and that all such priors result in consistent quantitative predictions for 68% DOB intervals. We then explore several methods by which the convergence properties of the EFT for a set of observables may be used to check the statistical consistency of the EFT expansion parameter.

description: In the context of a tower of (strongly Birkhoff) Galois structures in the sense of categorical Galois theory, we show that the concept of a higher covering admits a characterisation which is at the same time absolute (with respect to the base level in the tower), rather than inductively defined relative to extensions of a lower order; and symmetric, rather than depending on a perspective in terms of arrows pointing in a certain chosen direction. This result applies to the Galois theory of quandles, for instance, where it helps us characterising the higher coverings in purely algebraic terms.

description: The phase-space quasi-probability distribution formalism for representing quantum states provides practical tools for various applications in quantum optics such as identifying the nonclassicality of quantum states. We study filter functions that are introduced to regularize the Glauber-Sudarshan $P$ function. We show that the quantum map associated with a filter function is completely positive and trace preserving and hence physically realizable if and only if the Fourier transform of this function is a probability density distribution. We also derive a lower bound on the fidelity between the input and output states of a physical quantum filtering map. Therefore, based on these results, we show that any quantum state can be approximated, to arbitrary accuracy, by a quantum state with a regular Glauber-Sudarshan $P$ function. We propose applications of our results for estimating the output state of an unknown quantum process and estimating the outcome probabilities of quantum measurements.

description: Parmi les stratégies de l’association Cembureau pour réduire l’impact carbone des matériaux cimentaires, l’une d’elle repose sur le piégeage du CO2 par carbonatation des granulats de béton recyclé (GBR) provenant du concassage de structures en fin de vie. Les gaz à forte concentration en CO2 rejetés par les cimenteries pourraient être utilisés pour un tel procédé. La température de ces gaz pouvant atteindre 150°C, il est important de comprendre l’impact de la température sur la carbonatation. Le but de cette étude est ainsi d’examiner l’effet de la température sur les deux principales étapes limitantes de la carbonatation : la diffusion du CO2 à l’état gazeux dans le matériau et les réactions de carbonatation des hydrates dans sa solution interstitielle. Pour cela, des études expérimentales ont été réalisées en conditions isothermes pour déterminer, d’une part, le coefficient de diffusion gazeuse de mortiers secs et, d’autre part, les vitesses de réactions de poudres de mortier immergées en solution carbonatée. Les résultats montrent que la température favorise faiblement la diffusion gazeuse et les cinétiques en solution entre 25 et 60°C.
