Résumé : International audience
Many iterative processes can be interpreted as discrete dynamical systems and, in certain cases, they correspond to a time discretisation of differential systems. In this article the authors propose generating numerical methods in numerical linear algebra by modelling the linear system to be solved as a given state of a dynamical system; the solution can be reached asymptotically, as a (asymptotically stable) steady state, but also as a finite time (shooting methods). In that way, any (stable) numerical scheme for the integration of such a problem can be presented as a method for solving linear systems. The authors discuss aspects of this approach, which allows them to recover some known methods but also to introduce new ones. Finally, some convergence results and numerical illustrations are presented.

Résumé :  
For a comprehensive evaluation of human influences on the genetic system, the simulation model EGO-GENE was developed. The model combines population genetic and population dynamic processes with forest growth models. The dynamics of genetic structures (single locus and multilocus genotypes up to 200 loci) can be simulated. Spatial and temporal genetic dynamics are included in the model. Overlapping or separated generations can be created and different modes of mating systems can be implemented. The model can be run with empirical and fictitious input data. The simulated genetic structures can be directly analysed with established genetic analysis programmes. An example demonstrates the use of the model far validation of interactions among components of the mating system. Another example demonstrates the applicability of the model in decision-making for seed sampling strategies. The genetic differences between the adult trees and the harvested seeds and the danger of genetic drift regarding to different seed sampling strategies are investigated by use of the genetic distance and the reproductively effective population size.

Résumé : International audience
Data integration and knowledge capitalization combine data and information coming from different data sources designed by different experts having different purposes. In this paper, we propose to assist the underlying model merging activity. For close models made by experts of various specialities on the same system, we partially automate the identification of a Greatest Common Model (GCM) which is composed of the common concepts (core-concepts) of the different models. Our methodology is based on Formal Concept Analysis which is a method of data analysis based on lattice theory. A decision tree allows to semiautomatically classify concepts from the concept lattices and assist the GCM extraction. We apply our approach on the EIS-Pesticide project, an environmental information system which aims at centralizing knowledge and information produced by different research teams.

Résumé : From measurements obtained at high level frequency over a long period of time, we aim to determine the different characteristics of the flow situated in the IFREMER (French Research Institute for Exploration of the Sea) wave and current flume tank in Boulogne-Sur-Mer. This 2 data measured with a LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry) allows to get the characteristics of turbulence and the incident velocity fluctuations. The well-controlled conditions in the flume and the high sampling frequency of LDV system will give us a good estimate of the different flow characteristics such as dissipation, the Reynolds number, the injection scales, Taylor and Kolmogorov. The objective is to place the marine current turbine in this flow and then to study the influence of turbulence on the rotor of this turbine. The flow velocity is imposed and two different rates of turbulence are analysed.
A partir de données à haute fréquence acquises pendant une longue période de temps, on cherche à déterminer les différentes caractéristiques de l’écoulement généré au bassin d’essais à houle et courant d’IFREMER à Boulogne-Sur-Mer. Ces données mesurées avec un système LDV permettent de caractériser la turbulence et les fluctuations de la vitesse du courant incident. Les conditions contrôlées du bassin et les longues périodes d’acquisition du système LDV nous donneront une bonne estimation des différentes caractéristiques de l’écoulement tels que la dissipation, le nombre de Reynolds, les échelles d’injection, de Taylor et de Kolmogorov. Dans un deuxième temps nous étudions les effets de la turbulence de l’écoulement sur le comportement d’une hydrolienne tri-pale à axe horizontal.L’objectif est de placer la maquette d’hydrolienne dans cet écoulement et étudier l’influence de la turbulence sur le rotor de cette turbine. La vitesse de l’écoulement est imposée et deux taux de turbulence différents ont été étudiés.

Résumé : En mettant côte à côte les modèles de construction des habitations sucrières caribéennes et des cités ouvrières métropolitaines, on constate de troublantes similitudes entre ces deux systèmes sociospatiaux. Chacun des modèles correspond à un stade différencié de l’expansion du capitalisme industriel : l’hypothèse défendue ici consiste à montrer que le discours hygiéniste serait venu occulter le recouvrement de ces deux modèles de logement patronaux, parce que le premier était largement entaché par la « question esclavagiste » dont l’industrialisme métropolitain, incarné dans le second, souhaitait se débarrasser. Et l’occultation de cette part d’héritage dans la mémoire du modèle des cités ouvrières pourrait s’expliquer par la cécité dont a longtemps été saisie la société française quant à son passé esclavagiste puis colonial. Ce lien entre les deux modèles sociospatiaux ne semble d’ailleurs faire l’objet d’aucune construction patrimoniale, dans le monde industrialisé comme dans la Caraïbe, alors même que chaque modèle pris isolément tendrait à se patrimonialiser.
When the building models of living quarters on Caribbean sugar plantations are compared to workers’ housing estates in Metropolitan France, we find unsettling similarities between the two socio-spatial systems. The models each correspond to a different stage in the spread of industrial capitalism: the hypothesis advanced here argues that “hygienist” discourse could have worked to obscure the overlap between these two models of company-owned housing since the former was sullied by the “slavery issue” from which Metropolitan industrialism, embodied by the latter, wanted to distance itself. The omission of this aspect of its heritage from the memory of the workers’ housing estate model may be explained by French society’s long-standing refusal to acknowledge its slavery-based and then colonial past. The connection between these two socio-spatial models does not appear to be of interest in the heritage-making process in either the industrialised world or the Caribbean despite the fact that each model on its own is beginning to be recognised as part of the local heritage.

Résumé : The Great Glen Fault (GGF) is a major lithospheric strike-slip fault system that cuts across the Caledonian orogenic belt of Scotland. It separates the Northern Highlands terrane from the Grampian terrane. Movement history along the fault extends at least into the Early Palaeozoic. The low-temperature history of the Scottish Highlands covers a significant period from the Late Palaeozoic to the Present, but the magnitude of vertical movements that affected the GGF area during that time is still a matter of debate. Fission track analysis on detailed vertical profiles in the Ballachulish and Strontian complexes, as well as on a profile oriented northeastwards across the GGF, reveals distributed differential vertical movements along the fault during the Late Palaeozoic. The Mesozoic denudation is estimated at a maximum of 2 km before a more recent widespread exhumation event that started at around 40–25 Ma, leading to 1.6 to 2 km of erosion. La Great Glen Fault (GGF) est un système décrochant lithosphérique majeur qui traverse la chaîne calédonienne d'Écosse. Il sépare les domaines des Northern Highlands et de Grampian. L'histoire tectonique de ce système remonte au moins au Paléozoïque inférieur. L'histoire de la dénudation des Highlands d'Écosse s'étend du Paléozoïque supérieur jusqu'au Présent, mais l'ampleur des mouvements verticaux ayant affecté la zone autour du système de la GGF pendant cette période est toujours sujette à débat. Les analyses traces de fission réalisées sur des profils verticaux dans les complexes granitiques du Ballachulish et de Strontian, ainsi que sur un profil plus au nord-est à travers la GGF, mettent en évidence des mouvements différentiels distribués de part et d'autre de la faille au Paléozoïque supérieur. La dénudation mésozoïque est estimée au maximum à 2 km, avant un dernier épisode de surrection généralisée à partir de 40–25 Ma, qui provoque environ 1,6 à 2 km d'érosion.

Résumé : At this moment, the quasi-totality of the catches of the 95 licensed or French trawlers fishing on the shelf of French Guyana is thrown overboard, except for shrimps. This waste, which has been going on for 20 years in French Guyana, is the consequence a very specific production system which has just been the focus of a study by some French scientists who assessed it and tried to provide some solutions. It appears that the use of these neglected resources can be made at three different levels: 1) by making the boats keep the totality of the species they already partially keep, 2) by making them keep a series of complementary species which can be sold directly as raw fish products, 3) by collecting the leftovers for the making of sub-products or flour.
Actuellement la quasi-totalité des captures à l'exclusion des crevettes, réalisées par quelques 95 chalutiers licenciés ou français travaillant sur le plateau de Guyane française est rejetée à la mer. Ce gaspillage qui dure depuis 20 ans en Guyane est dû à un système de production très particulier et vient de faire l'objet d'une étude de scientifiques français qui l'ont estimé puis ont tenté de proposer des solutions. Il apparaît que l'utilisation de ces ressources actuellement négligées peut être conçue à 3 niveaux: 1) en faisant garder par les armements la totalité des quelques espèces qu'ils conservent déjà mais très partiellement, 2) en faisant conserver une série complémentaire d'espèces directement commercialisables en tant que produits de la mer en l'état, 3) en collectant le reliquat pour transformation à terre en sous-produits et farine. Le niveau 1 peut être atteint sans modification importante du système de production, il pourrait faire l'objet d'une obligation réglementaire. Le niveau 2 remet en question la conception du travail des armements. L'occupation très importante des navires par des produits autres que la crevette ne sera acceptée que si des transformateurs à terre savent provoquer ces apports de moindre valeur mais disposant de marchés. Le niveau 3 reste une hypothèse puisqu'il implique que 30000 tonnes de produits farinables puissent être collectées, transformées et exportées hors de Guyane alors qu'aucune structure ni marché n'existe encore dans ce domaine.

Résumé : International audience
The ability to produce sound has been known for decades inBalistidae. Sounds of many species have been recorded and a varietyof sound-producing mechanisms have been proposed, includingteeth stridulation, collision of the buccal teeth and movements of thefins. The best-supported hypothesis involves movements of thepectoral fin against the lateral part of the swimbladder, called adrumming membrane. In this study, we describe for the first time thesounds made by the blackbar triggerfish Rhinecanthus aculeatus,which are like short drum rolls with an average duration of 85 ms,193 Hz dominant frequency and 136 dB SPL level at 3 cm distance.The sounds are a series of pulses that result from alternate sweepingmovements of the right and left pectoral fins, which push a system ofthree scutes that are forced against the swimbladder wall. Pulses fromeach fin occur in consecutive pairs. High-speed videos indicate thateach pulse consists of two cycles. The first part of each cyclecorresponds to the inward buckling of the scutes, whereas the secondpart of the cycle corresponds to an apparent passive recoil of thescutes and swimbladder wall. This novel sound productionmechanism is probably found in many members of Balistidaebecause these peculiar scutes occur in other species in the family.Comparison of sound characteristics from fishes of different sizesshows that dominant frequency decreases with size in juveniles butnot in adults.KEY WORDS: Acoustic, Communication, Swimbladder

This paper presents our response to the first interna- tional challenge on Facial Emotion Recognition and Analysis. We propose to combine different types of features to automatically detect Action Units in facial images. We use one multi-kernel SVM for each Action Unit we want to detect. The first kernel matrix is computed using Local Gabor Binary Pattern histograms and a histogram intersection kernel. The second kernel matrix is computed from AAM coefficients and an RBF kernel. During the training step, we combine these two types of features using the recently proposed SimpleMKL algorithm. SVM outputs are then averaged to exploit temporal information in the sequence. To eval- uate our system, we perform deep experimentations on several key issues: influence of features and kernel function in histogram- based SVM approaches, influence of spatially-independent in- formation versus geometric local appearance information and benefits of combining both, sensitivity to training data and interest of temporal context adaptation. We also compare our results to those of the other participants and try to explain why our method had the best performance during the FERA challenge.

Résumé : The late Quaternary has experienced large glacial/interglacial climatic variations and related 10's to 100 meters high-amplitude sea level fluctuations at Milankovich frequencies from 10's to 100 kyr during which carbonate platform tops have been exposed and re-flooded in many occasions. This study focuses on the accumulation of calci-turbidites, the aragonite onset/sharp increase in fine sediments and their timing in deep basins adjacent to carbonate platforms. A particular emphasis is developed on the occurrence of the first gravity flow event and aragonite onset/sharp increase and their linkage to the initial re-flooding of the platform tops during deglaciations. Three basins adjacent to isolated platforms in the Bahamas, the Northern Nicaragua Rise, and the Gulf of Papua, were selected to represent pure carbonate versus mixed systems, in quiescent versus tectonically active settings, and various carbonate bank top morphologies, ranging from atoll to relatively deeply and narrowly flooded flat top banks. In spite of these differences, each record illustrates a clear relationship between the timing of platform top re-flooding and initiation of significant carbonate export by gravity flows and low-density plumes into the surrounding basins. The concept of "re-flooding window" is introduced to characterize the prolific period of time during which bank and atoll-tops are flooded enough to produce large export of bank-derived aragonite and of calci-turbidites in adjacent basins. According to our datasets, the main re-flooding windows have occurred mainly on the last part of the sea level rise at each glacial termination (T), those periods being marked by some of the highest rates of sea level rise. The analysis of a long-piston core from the earthquakes-prone Walton Basin (Northern Nicaragua Rise) demonstrates that sea level, not seismic activities, played a major role as trigger mechanism for the initiation of gravity flows since the last four glacial/interglacial transitions, and supports the existence of an extra glacial termination during the early portion of the transition from MIS 7.4 to MIS 7.3 (TIIIA).

Résumé : International audience
We carried out morphotectonic studies along the left-lateral strike-slip Bogd Fault, the principal structure involved in the Gobi-Altay earthquake of 1957 December 4 (published magnitudes range from 7.8 to 8.3). The Bogd Fault is 260 km long and can be subdivided into five main geometric segments, based on variation in strike direction. West to East these segments are, respectively: the West Ih Bogd (WIB), The North Ih Bogd (NIB), the West Ih Bogd (WIB), the West Baga Bogd (WBB) and the East Baga Bogd (EBB) segments. Morphological analysis of offset streams, ridges and alluvial fans-particularly well preserved in the arid environment of the Gobi region-allows evaluation of late Quaternary slip rates along the different faults segments. In this paper, we measure slip rates over the past 200 ka at four sites distributed across the three western segments of the Bogd Fault. Our results show that the left-lateral slip rate is similar to 1 mm yr(-1) along the WIB and EIB segments and similar to 0.5 mm yr(-1) along the NIB segment. These variations are consistent with the restraining bend geometry of the Bogd Fault.;Our study also provides additional estimates of the horizontal offset associated with the 1957 earthquake along the western part of the Bogd rupture, complementing previously published studies. We show that the mean horizontal offset associated with the 1957 earthquake decreases progressively from 5.2 m in the west to 2.0 m in the east, reflecting the progressive change of kinematic style from pure left-lateral strike-slip faulting to left-lateral-reverse faulting. Along the three western segments, we measure cumulative displacements that are multiples of the 1957 coseismic offset, which may be consistent with a characteristic slip. Moreover, using these data, we re-estimate the moment magnitude of the Gobi-Altay earthquake at M-w 7.78-7.95.;Combining our slip rate estimates and the slip distribution per event we also determined a mean recurrence interval of similar to 2500-5200 yr for past earthquakes along the different segments of the western Bogd Fault. This suggests that the three western segments of the Bogd Fault and the Gurvan Bulag thrust fault (a reverse fault bounding the southern side of the Ih Bogd range that ruptured during the 1957 earthquake) have similar average recurrence times, and therefore may have ruptured together in previous earthquakes as they did in 1957. These results suggest that the western part of the Bogd Fault system, including the Gurvan Bulag thrust fault, usually behaves in a 'characteristic earthquake' mode.

Résumé : International audience
The Cerro del Almirez massif (Nevado–Filábride Complex, Betic Cordillera, SE Spain) is composed of antigorite (Atg-) serpentinite and chlorite (Chl-) harzburgite separated by a thin reaction front formed in a palaeo-subduction setting. These ultramafic rocks preserve unique prograde structures related to the pre- and peak high-pressure event (1.6–1.9 GPa and 680–710 °C). The oldest subduction-related structures are preserved in Atg-serpentinites: a penetrative S1 foliation and associated L1 stretching lineation that formed in a non-coaxial regime with a top-to-the-W sense of shear. This planar–linear fabric is crosscut by olivine ± Ti-clinohumite veins, formed during the prograde breakdown of brucite and pre-metamorphic clinopyroxene, which form a system of veins decimetres long. They record embrittlement processes due to the release of 6 vol.% of H2O associated with brucite dehydration. The growth of prograde olivine and/or tremolite porphyroblasts is syn- to post-kinematic in relation to the S1 foliation. Further reactions at higher temperature related to the complete breakdown of the Atg (i.e. Atg-out) are post-kinematic to S1. Prograde Chl-harzburgite is crosscut by sets of conjugate zones associated with grain-size reduction of olivine grains. These grain-size reduction zones are interpreted as brittle structures generated by hydrofracturing due to overpressure fluids in a compressional setting at low-differential stresses.Structures related to the exhumation process are mainly preserved in the metasedimentary host rock, where an S2/L2 planar–linear fabric developed within a shear zone dominated by a non-coaxial regime with a top-to-the-W sense of movement in a transpressional regime. Peak metamorphic conditions deduced for the schists are similar in pressure (1.3–1.9 GPa) but lower in temperature (560–590 °C) compared to the ultramafic rocks in contact with them, suggesting a major shear zone at the base of the ultramafic massif during D2 deformation in a right-handed transpressional regime.

Résumé : International audience
Few studies have been undertaken to assess the possible effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on the reproductive hormone balance in animals or humans with often contradictory results. We investigated possible direct endocrine disruption by BPA of the fetal testes of 2 rat strains (14.5-17.5 days post-coitum) and humans (8-12 gestational weeks) and under different culture conditions. BPA concentrations of 10-8M and 10-5M for 72h reduced testosterone production by the Sprague-Dawley fetal rat testes, while only 10-5M suppressed it in the Wistar strain. The suppressive effects at 10-5M were seen as early as 24h and 48h in both strains. BPA at 10-7-10-5M for 72h suppressed the levels of fetal rat Leydig cell insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3). BPA exposure at 10-8M, 10-7M, and 10-5M for 72h inhibited testosterone production in fetal human testes. For the lowest doses, the effects observed occurred only when no gonadotrophin was added to the culture media and were associated with a poorly preserved testicular morphology. We concluded that (i) BPA can display anti-androgenic effects both in rat and human fetal testes; (ii) it is essential to ascertain that the divergent effects of endocrine disruptors between species in vitro do not result from the culture conditions used, and/or the rodent strain selected; (iii) the optimization of each in vitro assay for a given species should be a major objective rather than the search of an hypothetical trans-species consensual model-system, as the organization of the testis is intrinsically different between mammalian species; (iv) due to the uncertainty existing on the internal exposure of the human fetal testis to BPA, and the insufficient number of epidemiological studies on the endocrine disruptive effects of BPA, caution should be taken in the extrapolation of our present results to the human reproductive health after fetal exposure to BPA.

Résumé : International audience
The French West Indies (F.W.I.) were French colonies with a specific legal frame until 1946 when they became French departments. Since that time the legal frame in force concerning archaeological heritage protection is exactly the same than in metropolitan France. In this system all the laws relating to cultural heritage are grouped in the "Code du Patrimoine" (Heritage code), which contains several topics such as archives, museums, archaeology and historic monuments. Some articles refer to the Penal Code, the Code of Urban Development, the Environmental Code or the Mining Code. These laws are supplemented by various decrees that define the applying conditions for different areas: rescue archeology (decree 2004-490), INRAP , advisory bodies, the content of the field reports, penal provisions, etc ... The heritage laws have been created in 1917 (Historic Monuments) and 1941 (archaeology). The law on rescue archeology is in force only since 2001 and is an application of the European Convention of Malta (1992). However, the implementation of the regulation and of the institutions in charge of is application in the French West Indies is fairly recent. In this presentation after a general presentation of the archaeological heritage protection French system we will focus on the different aspects of is application in F.W.I.: difficulties linked to the application of a system suited for metropolitan France, the level of the French West Indian people implication in the archaeological heritage protection and the future perspectives.

Résumé : The development on the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries implies to improve integrated analysis of fisheries by considering the biological as well as the socio-economic dimensions of the exploitation and thus, an improvement in the knowledge of fleets structure, evolution and activity. Since 2000, Ifremer has been implemented a Fisheries Information System (FIS), a multidisciplinary monitoring network allowing an integrated and comprehensive view of fishery systems including biological, technical, environmental and economical components. The FIS covers all the French fisheries, including the so-often neglected small-scale fisheries. One of the originalities of the FIS lies in the fleet monitoring procedure: a comprehensive collection of annual activity calendars aiming at characterizing the inactivity or activity of the vessels each month of the year and, in the latter case, the métiers practised (use of a gear to target one or several species) and the main fishing areas. This survey covers all the French fishing fleets and provides minimum but exhaustive information on the vessels. It is particularly instructive for the small-scale fisheries, where catches and effort data are often incomplete. Furthermore, this exhaustive data allows stratifying the fleet in fleets (typologies) and thus provides the basis (i) for the implementation of sampling schemes to estimate catches, landings, discards or economic performance of the different fleets and (ii) for the development of a fleet-métier matrix giving the possibility of identifying at the time, the structure of the whole fleet in fleets, the métier polyvalence of the vessels and the allocation of fishing effort on the different exploited fishing resources.

Résumé : International audience
The purpose of our study is to model a geothermal reservoir. When geothermal reservoir are assumed to be composed of pure water, the transfer of mass and energy is classically described by two balance equations: mass balance equation and the energy balance equation. In addition to those equations, fluid velocity ist classically given by the Darcy law while thermodynamic properties, inferred from theoretical or empirical equations of state, are used to close the mathematical system. Once this system is closed, there exist different solutions. The first one is to solve for pressure and temperature with a variable switch to saturation in the two-phase region (e.g. TOUGH2). The second one is to solve for pressure and enthalpy to increase stability of phase transition between single and two-phase states (e.g. Hydrotherm). We adopted the second option and chose te use a splitting method to get rid of the complexity of coupling equations and a finite volume method for the spatial discretization. Selecting object-oriented languages, we developed a multi-language framework, combining Python, Fortran and a C++ implementation of IAPWS (from the freesteam project) including the supercritical equations, in porous media velocity is given by Darcy law and to close the system physical properties are determined by the IAPWS-IF97 thermodynamic formulation. We resolve the equations in pressure and enthalpy instead of pressure and temperature in order to increase stability and to handle easier the passage from a single-phase to a two-phase system. We solve the system by using a splitting method - to get rid of the complexity of coupling equations - and a finite volume method. We offer some freedom to users thanks to the implementation of several methods like explicit or implicit Euler, Runge-Kutta or BDF2 for time solvers or GMRES and BICGSTAB for the linear solver. We can handle several boundary conditions like no-flow - describing a boundary which can not exchange matter with the exterior - or like a mixed-therm condition - a Dirichlet condition to the pressure and a Dirichlet or an outflow condition to the temperature in order to describe a recharge or a discharge zone - ... We're developing a multi-language framework, combining Python, Fortran and the C++ implementation of IAPWS (from the freesteam project). All these languages are object-oriented. We've applied this simulation model to the dogger in Paris, France, to several one-dimensional systems and a two-dimensional one made by Coumou with the CSMP++ platform. The dogger is a reservoir exploited to produce heat by pumping water at 70 and reinjecting it in the reservoir at 40. In the one-dimensional systems we wanted to observe the process of heat transfer from a higher temperature boundary to a smaller one in a high-energy domain. The last simulation shows the natural convection of water in a fault. For every simulation we compared the solutions we found with an other code (TOUGH2 or CSMP++) and they agreed. The next step will be to model the geothermal plant in Guadeloupe, West Indies. It's the only place in France - and in the West Indies so far - producing electricity with the earth power. The temperature can reach up to 1000 and the pressure range is around a few hundreds MPa. In some surface zones we can see two-phase water at atmospheric pressure. In the 1980s Bouillante was a laboratory for France. Since 1995 Bouillante has given 30GWh electricity a year to the Guadeloupeans.

Résumé : This work is devoted to the theoritical research and to the numerical calculus of weak solutions (in the sens of generalized functions) for the non linear transport equation((∂u)/(∂t))(x,y,t)+a(x,y,t)((∂f(u))/(∂x))(x,y,t)+b(x,y,t)((∂g(u))/(∂y))(x,y,t)=0 pour t>0with the initial condition u(x,y,0)=u₀(x,y) where the functions {(x,y,t)→a(x,y,t)} and {(x,y,t)→b(x,y,t)} belong to L^{∞}(R²×R⁺) (but can be discontinuous), the functions f and g are smooth and monotonous, the function {(x,y)→u₀(x,y)} belongs to L^{∞}(R²). We recall the necessary notions on nonlinear generalized functions for introducing their tensorial product. The main results (to determine the weak solutions) are sufficient conditions so that, when a sum of généralized functions (like Heaviside or Dirac products) is associated with zero, each terms of the sum is equal to zero. Thanks to these theoretical results, we can solve the Riemann problem with the help of a solver written like tensorial product of Heaviside functions (or like a sum of tensorial product of Heaviside functions) in order to obtain the weak solutions. These weak solutions allow to develop two dimensional numerical Godunov type schemes. Then, numerical tests are performed which give a comparison between the results obtained by these 2D schemes and the ones of the splitting method. These tests prove that the 2D numerical schemes are as reliable as the ones obtained by splitting. They are also more simple in their expression. Moreover, a more detailed comparative study of the two types of numerical schemes show that the 2D schemes are far less expensive in the linear case as well as in the non linear case. They are stable for the L^{∞} norm, unlike the splitting schemes. At least some perspectives as well as an existence theorem of a strong solution "almost eveywhere" for linear hyberbolic systems are studied.
Nous nous intéressons à la recherche et au calcul numérique de solutions faibles (au sens des fonctions généralisées) de l'équation de transport non linéaire((∂u)/(∂t))(x,y,t)+a(x,y,t)((∂f(u))/(∂x))(x,y,t)+b(x,y,t)((∂g(u))/(∂y))(x,y,t)=0 pour t>0complétée de la condition initiale : u(x,y,0)=u₀(x,y) où les fonctions {(x,y,t)→a(x,y,t)} et {(x,y,t)→b(x,y,t)} appartiennent à L^{∞}(R²×R⁺) (mais peuvent être discontinues), les fonctions f et g sont lisses et monotones, la fonction {(x,y)→u₀(x,y)} appartient à L^{∞}(R²). Des rappels sur les fonctions généralisées nous permettent d'introduire leur produit tensoriel. Un des résultats clés (pour déterminer ultérieurement les solutions faibles cherchées) donne des conditions suffisantes pour que, lorsqu'une somme de fonctions généralisées (de type produit d'Heaviside ou de Dirac) est associée à 0, chacun des termes de la somme est nul. Grâce à ces résultats théoriques, on résout le problème de Riemann 2D à l'aide d'un solveur s'écrivant comme produit tensoriel de fonctions type Heaviside (ou comme somme de produit tensoriel de fonctions type Heaviside) afin d'obtenir les solutions faibles. Ces solutions faibles permettent la construction des schémas numériques de type Godunov 2D. Nous les validons par des test numériques comparant les résultats obtenus par ces schémas 2D et ceux de la méthode du splitting. Ces tests montrent que les schémas numériques 2D sont aussi fiables que ceux par splitting, alors qu'ils sont plus simples dans leur écriture. Une étude comparative plus complète entre les deux types de schémas numériques montre de plus que les schémas 2D sont nettement moins coûteux à la fois dans les cas linéaire et non linéaire et qu'ils sont stables pour la norme L^{∞}, contrairement aux schémas par splitting. Enfin des perspectives ainsi qu'un théoréme d'existence de solutions fortes "presque partout" pour des systèmes hyperboliques linéaires sont abordés.

Résumé : International audience
To determine whether exercise modality affects arterial hypoxemia (EIAH) during training-intensity exercise, 13 triathletes performed 20 min of cycling (C) followed by 20 min of running (R): C-R, and two weeks later, 20 min of R followed by 20 min of C:R-C. Each trial was performed at an intensity slightly above the ventilatory threshold and close to the daily training intensity (75 % of VO2max). Ventilatory data were collected continuously using an automated breath-by-breath system. Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) was measured after each C and R segment and arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) was monitored continuously via pulse oximetry. The metabolic rate was similar across modalities and trials, i.e., C-R (53.8 +/- 3.8 vs. 51.1 +/- 5.3 ml.min(-1).kg(-1)) and R-C (52.2 +/- 4.5 vs. 53.2 +/- 4.6 ml.min(-1).kg (-1)). EIAH showed significantly greater severity for R compared to C irrespective of the order (p < 0.05 for both trials). R values of PaO2 (and SpO2) for C-R and R-C were 88.7 +/- 6.0 mm Hg (93.0 +/- 0.6 % SpO2) and 86.6 +/- 7.3 mm Hg (93.5 +/- 0.6 % SpO2) and C values were 93.7 +/- 8.4 mm Hg (95.4 +/- 0.4 % SpO2) and 91.4 +/- 5.4 mm Hg (94.8 +/- 0.3 % SpO2). R ventilatory data described a significantly different breathing pattern than C, with higher respiratory rate (35.9 b.min(-1) vs. 51.1 b.min(-1) for C-R, p < 0.01; and 50.0 b.min(-1) vs. 41.5 b.min(-1) for R-C, p < 0.01) and lower tidal volume (2636 ml vs. 2282 ml for C-R, p < 0.02 and 2272 ml vs. 2472 ml for R-C, p < 0.05). We concluded that EIAH was greater during running than cycling for a similar metabolic rate corresponding to training intensity and that EIAH could thus be considered dependent on exercise modality.

Résumé : Architectural analyses of temperate tree species using a chronological approach suggest that the expression of epicormic branches is closely related to low growth rates in the axes that make up the branching system. Therefore, sole consideration of epicormic criteria may be sufficient to identify trees with low secondary growth levels or with both low primary and secondary growth levels. In a tropical tree such as Dicorynia guianensis (basralocus), where chronological studies are difficult, this relationship could be very useful as an easily accessible indicator of growth potentials. A simple method of architectural tree description was used to characterize the global structure of more than 1650 basralocus trees and to evaluate their growth level. Measurements of simple growth characters [height, basal diameter, internode length of submittal part (top of the main axis of the tree)] and the observation of four structural binary descriptors on the main stem (presence of sequential branches and young epicormic branches, state of the submittal part, global orientation), indicated that epicormic branch formation is clearly related to a decrease in length of the successive growth units of the main stem. Analysis of height vs. diameter ratios among different tree subgroups, with and without epicormic branching, suggested that trees with epicormic branches generally have a low level of secondary growth compared with primary growth.

Résumé : Cell signaling contains the whole biological mecanisms allowing the response of a cell to its microenvironnement in an adapted way. Many extremely intertwinned biological reactions are involved in a network that behaves as a complex system. The understanding of cell response requires the development of data acquisition technics and methods to formalize data into models. This point is the main drive of this thesis. We present here two approaches in order to analyse different granularities of cell signaling. In the first one, we used differential model to study the role of a new component of TGF-β canonical pathway. In the second one, we explored the combinatorial complexity of cell signaling, developing a discrete formalism based on guarded transitions. In this approach, we interpreted the whole database Pathway Interaction Database into a single unified model of signal transduction. Simulation and analysis methods, such as reachability and invariance research, have been developed. The interests are presented through an application on cell cycle regulation by cell signaling, and a global analysis on the regulation of genes compared to experimental data.
La signalisation cellulaire regroupe l'ensemble des mécanismes biologiques permettant à une cellule de répondre de façon adaptée à son microenvironnement. Pour ce faire, de nombreuses réactions biologiques entrent en jeux avec un important enchevêtrement, créant ainsi un réseau dont le comportement s'apparente à un système complexe. Le compréhension de la réponse cellulaire à une stimulation passe par le développement conjoint des techniques d'acquisition de données, et des méthodes permettant de formaliser ces données dans un modèle. C'est sur ce dernier point que s'inscrivent les travaux exposés dans cette thèse. Nous présentons ici deux approches visant à répondre à des questions de natures différentes sur la signalisation cellulaire. Dans la première nous utilisons un modèle différentiel pour étudier le rôle d'un nouvel interactant dans la voie canonique du TGF-beta. Dans la seconde nous avons exploré la combinatoire de la signalisation cellulaire en développant un formalisme discret basé sur les transitions gardées. Cette approche regroupe l'interprétation de la base de données Pathway Interaction Database dans un unique modèle dynamique de propagation du signal. Des méthodes de simulations et d'analyses inspirées des techniques de vérification de modèles telles que l'atteignabilité et l'invariance ont été développées. En outre, nous avons étudié la régulation du cycle cellulaire en réponse à la signalisation, ainsi que la régulation des gènes de notre modèle en comparaison avec des données d'expressions.
