Résumé : International audience
We show that a new definition of the asymptotic structure of the (C,E,P)-algebras (which are a refinement of the Colombeau Generalized Algebras) allows to define a natural topology on them. Furthermore, this topology can be mixed with functorial aspects of the construction in order to give extension principles, which give powerful tools to solve singular differential problems in this framework.

Résumé : International audience
Deep-seated gravitational spreading (DSGS) affects the slopes of formerly glaciated mountain ridges. On Mars, DSGS has played a key role in shaping the landforms of the giant Valles Marineris troughs. Though less spectacular, DSGS is common in terrestrial orogens, where understanding its mechanics is critical in the light of the ongoing climate change because it is a potential source of catastrophic landslides in deglaciated valleys. We conducted parametric numerical studies in order to identify important factors responsible for DSGS initiation. DSGS models are computed using an elastoviscoplastic finite element code. Using ADELI's software, we reproduce topographic ridge spreading under the effect of valley unloading. Two types of spreading topographic ridges are investigated, homogeneous or with horizontal rheological layering. We find that gravitational instabilities are enhanced by high slopes, which increase gravitational stress, and low friction and cohesion, which decrease yield stress. In the unlayered ridge, instability is triggered by glacial unloading with plastic strain concentration inside the ridge and at the base of the high slopes. Vertical fractures develop in the upper part of the slope, potentially leading to fault scarps. Ridge homogeneity promotes a deformation mode controlled by uphill-facing normal faulting and basal bulging. In the second case, the ridge encompasses horizontal geological discontinuities that induce rock mass anisotropy. Discontinuity located at the base of the slope accumulates plastic strain, leading to the formation of a sliding plane evolving into a landslide. The presence of a weak layer at ridge base therefore promotes another slope deformation mode ending up with catastrophic failure. Mechanical conditions and slope height being equal, these conclusions can probably be extrapolated to Earth. Compared with Mars, DSGS on Earth is inhibited because terrestrial topographic gradients are lower than in Valles Marineris, an effect counterbalanced by increased gravitational stress, where the intensity of deformation is enhanced because of the Earth gravity potential.

Résumé : International audience
These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract. Human behaviors are increasingly recognized to play a key role in the spread of infectious diseases. Although a set of social and cognitive determinants has been consistently found to affect the adoption of health protective behaviors aiming to control and prevent a variety of infections, little is currently known about the ecological drivers of these behaviors in epidemic settings. In this article, we took advantage of the outbreak of chikungunya, a reemerging mosquito-borne disease, that occurred in French Guiana in 2014–15 to test empirically the assumption proposed by Zielinski-Gutierrez and Hayden that the proximity of the disease and perceptions of the natural environment may considerably shape public response to an emerging health threat. To achieve this, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among high school students of the region (N = 1462) at an early stage of the epidemic. Surprisingly, spatial analysis of the collected data leads to counterintuitive results as the participants who lived in the most affected area expressed less concern about the disease and practiced preventive behaviors less frequently than did other participants. These paradoxical results may be attributed to the possible activation of risk denial processes which have previously been observed in the risk perception literature, and described by several social and psychological defensiveness theories.

Résumé : International audience
We present some remarks about the embedding of spaces of Schwartz distributions into spaces of Colombeau generalized functions. Following ideas of M. Nedeljkov et alii, we recall how a good choice of compactly supported mollifiers allows to perform globally the embedding of D' () into G (). We show that this embedding is equal to the one obtained with local and sheaf arguments by M. Grosser et alii, this giving various equivalent technics to embed D'() into G ().

Résumé : International audience
We give a description of various algebras of generalized functions based on the introduction of pseudo-ultranorms on spaces of sequences in given locally convex function algebras. We study sheaf properties of these algebras, needed for microlocal analysis, and also consider regularity theory, functoriality and different concepts of association and weak equality in a unified setting. Using this approach, we also give new results on embeddings of ultradistribution and hyperfunction spaces into corresponding algebras of generalized functions.

Résumé : International audience
We propose a new geometric approach to describe the qualitative dynamics of chemical reactions networks. By this method we identify metastable regimes, defined as low dimensional regions of the phase space close to which the dynamics is much slower compared to the rest of the phase space. These metastable regimes depend on the network topology and on the orders of magnitude of the kinetic parameters. Benchmarking of the method on a computational biology model repository suggests that the number of metastable regimes is sub-exponential in the number of variables and equations. The dynamics of the network can be described as a sequence of jumps from one metastable regime to another. We show that a geometrically computed con-nectivity graph restricts the set of possible jumps. We also provide finite state machine (Markov chain) models for such dynamic changes. Applied to signal transduction models, our approach unravels dynamical and functional * corresponding author capacities of signalling pathways, as well as parameters responsible for speci-ficity of the pathway response. In particular, for a model of TGFβ signalling, we find that the ratio of TGFBR2 to TGFBR1 receptors concentrations can be used to discriminate between metastable regimes. Using expression data from the NCI60 panel of human tumor cell lines, we show that aggressive and non-aggressive tumour cell lines function in different metastable regimes and can be distinguished by measuring the relative concentrations of receptors of the two types.

Résumé : International audience
In a previous work, one of the authors has studied a numerical treatment (by fully implicit discretizations) of a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes-like problem and has proved existence and convergence results for the resulting discretized systems with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. In this work, we propose some new preconditioned multilevel versions of inexact-Newton algorithms to solve these equations. We also develop another multilevel preconditioner for a nonlinear GMRES algorithm. All of the preconditioners are based on incremental unknowns formulations.

"L'informatique affective est l'informatique qui se réfère à, résulte de, ou influence délibérément les émotions" (Picard (1997)). Singulièrement, l'équi-libre psychosocial est désormais considéré comme une préoccupation majeure pour la santé, tant sur le plan individuel que public. Prédire les émotions hu-maines via des méthodes non-invasives est un challenge propulsé notamment par le développement des systèmes d'accompagnement intelligents. Afin de dé-terminer l'état émotionel d'un individu, ayant potentiellement un trouble psy-chosocial, il convient de traiter tant les émotions expressives que neutres. Une approche originale de classification de l'information émotionelle à partir de vi-déos est proposée.

Résumé : International audience
The interlocking leaves of tank-forming bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) collect rainwater and detritus, thus creating a freshwater habitat for specialized organisms. Their abundance and the possibility of quantifying communities with accuracy give us unparalleled insight into how changes in local to regional environments influence community diversity in small water bodies. We sampled 365 bromeliads (365 invertebrate communities) along a southeastern to northwestern range in French Guiana. Geographic locality determined the species pool for bromeliad invertebrates, and local environments determined the abundance patterns through the selection of traits that are best adapted to the bromeliad habitats. Patterns in community structure mostly emerged from patterns of predator species occurrence and abundance across local-regional environments, while the set of detritivores remained constant. Water volume had a strong positive correlation with invertebrate diversity, making it a biologically relevant measure of the pools' carrying capacity. The significant effects of incoming detritus and incident light show that changes in local environments (e.g., the conversion of forest to cropping systems) strongly influence freshwater communities. Because changes in local environments do not affect detritivores and predators equally, one may expect functional shifts as sets of invertebrates with particular traits are replaced or complemented by other sets with different traits.

Résumé : International audience
The number of satellites and remote sensing sensors devoted to earth observation becomes increasingly high, providing more and more data and especially images. In the same time the access to such a data and to the tools to process them has been considerably improved. In the presence of such data flow - and regarding the necessity to follow up and predict environmental and societal changes in highly dynamic socio-environmental contexts - we need automatic image interpretation methods. This could be accomplished by exploring some strengths of artificial intelligence. Our main idea consists in inducing classification rules that explicitly take into account structural knowledge, using Aleph, an Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) system. We applied our proposed methodology to three land cover/use maps of the French Guiana littoral. One hundred and forty six classification rules were induced for the 39 land-cover classes of the maps. These rules are expressed in first order logic language which make them intelligible and interpretable by non-experts. A ten-fold cross validation gave average values for classification accuracy, specificity and sensibility equal to, respectively, 98.82 %, 99.65% and 70%. The proposed methodology could be valuably exploited to automatically classify new objects and/or help operators using object-based classification procedures.

Résumé : La représentation que les femmes ont d’elles-mêmes et du monde va indéniablement conditionner leurs engagements dans la République des mâles. Or dans l’échelle de ses objectifs, la femme antillaise ne fait pas de son engagement militant une priorité. Certes, le contexte culturel dans lequel elle évolue n’est pas étranger à cette posture qu’elle adopte. Cependant, de façon paradoxale, elle se distingue par ses capacités d’entreprendre et de réussir dans le monde des affaires. Sans doute une longue tradition de débrouillardise pour la survie de sa progéniture et d’elle-même, en d’autres termes pour l’oikonomia, constituerait la matrice d’une telle compétence économique.
The view that women have of themselves and of the world undoubtedly conditions their commitments to the “Republic of males”. In its list of priorities, the Caribbean woman does not exhibit a militant commitment to sex equality. Certainly, the cultural context in which women live does not encourage this stance. Nevertheless, paradoxically, Caribbean women are able to succeed and prosper in the business world. Perhaps a long tradition of resourcefulness for the survival of her offspring and of herself, in other words for the oikonomia, constitutes the basis for such an economic competence. Introduction

Résumé : International audience
Analog sandbox models have been set up to study the impact of syntectonic erosion on thrust wedges with one and two decollement levels. Different accretion mechanisms are activated depending on interactions between surface processes and wedge mechanics: frontal accretion, backthrusting, underthrusting and underplating due to decollement induced duplex formation at depth. These mechanisms may function simultaneously, being located at different parts across the wedge. For all the experiments, a high friction is imposed at the base of models and the volume of eroded material remains equal to the volume of newly accreted material, maintaining a constant surface slope during the shortening. Erosion limits the forward propagation of thrust wedges and favors the underthrusting of basal layers allowing duplex formation. Erosion promotes development of major backthrusts in the thrust wedges without or with one decollement, but no backthrusts was formed in the wedges with two decollements. Slow erosion allows lower extent of basal underthrusting in comparison with regular-rate erosion. Variations in the erosion taper lead to changes in duplex geometry and exhumation rate in thrust wedges with one or two decollements. The 6 degrees erosion taper promotes formation of antiformal stack at the rear part of thrust wedge, high rate of basal underthrusting and high extent of erosional removal. The cover layers are nearly completely eroded above the antiformal stack and form the synformal klippe in frontal part of thrust wedges. The 8 degrees erosion taper allows development of individual ramp-anticlines and active forward thrusting of cover layers above the decollement and low rate of basal underplating below it, with consequent low extent of erosional removal. The results of our experiments support the observations on structural evolution and erosion in the Alberta Foothills of the Canadian Rockies.

Résumé : International audience
We show first results of 3D simulation of sea currents in a realistic context. We use the full Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible viscous fluid. The problem is solved using a second order incremental projection method associated with the finite volume of the staggered (MAC) scheme for the spatial discretization. After validation on classical cases, it is used in a numerical simulation of the Pointe à Pitre harbour area. The use of the fictious domain method permits us to take into account the complexity of bathymetric data and allows us to work with regular meshes and thus preserves the efficiency essential for a 3D code.

Résumé : National audience
Objectif L’objectif était d’identifier des formes d’organisation du travail et d’étudier leur association avec les douleurs de l’épaule et le syndrome de la coiffe des rotateurs (SCR) chez les salariés, à partir des données du programme de surveillance épidémiologique des troubles musculo-squelettiques mis en œuvre dans les Pays de la Loire. Méthodes Entre 2002 et 2005, la participation volontaire de 83 médecins du travail a permis d’inclure par tirage au sort 3710 salariés lors de leur visite médicale périodique. Seize variables organisationnelles ont été recueillies par auto-questionnaire. Les symptômes de l’épaule ont été recueillis à l’aide d’un questionnaire de type nordique et le SCR a été diagnostiqué par le médecin à l’aide d’un examen clinique standardisé. Une classification ascendante hiérarchique (CAH) des variables organisationnelles puis des salariés ont permis d’identifier les différentes formes d’organisation du travail. Les associations entre les formes d’organisation du travail et les douleurs de l’épaule et le SCR ont été étudiées par des régressions logistiques ajustées sur des facteurs individuels, biomécaniques et psychosociaux. Résultats Cinq classes d’organisation du travail ont été identifiées. Une classe de salariés s’est révélée fortement exposée aux contraintes organisationnelles : – travail en équipe postée ; – polyvalence ; – faible latitude décisionnelle ; – répétitivité des tâches ; – rythme de travail imposé par : – le déplacement automatique d’un produit ou d’une pièce/la cadence automatique d’une machine, – la dépendance immédiate vis-à-vis du travail des collègues, – des normes de production ou des délais à respecter, – des contrôles ou une surveillance permanents. À l’inverse, elle était moins exposée au rythme de travail imposé par une demande extérieure (public, client) que l’ensemble de l’échantillon. Par rapport à cette classe, les salariés des quatre autres classes avaient un risque plus faible de douleurs de l’épaule au cours des 12 derniers mois (OR de 0,6 [0,5–0,7] à 0,8 [0,6–0,9]), permanentes au cours des 12 derniers mois (OR de 0,6 à 0,8 [0,5–1,0]) et au cours des 7 derniers jours (OR de 0,6 [0,4–0,9], à 0,8 [0,6–1,0]). L’association était non significative pour le SCR (p = 0,11). Conclusions L’étude a montré une association significative entre les douleurs de l’épaule et l’exposition à des contraintes organisationnelles. Ces résultats seront à confirmer à l’aide de modèles à équations structurelles

We consider in this paper a cascade system of two parabolic equations, governed by a quasi-linear nonlocal operator. We study the null controllability of this problem with a control subject to constraints. We begin by proving the existence of a unique control of minimal norm for the linear problem. We combine these results with a fixed-point theorem to conclude.

We present a study about AFM imaging of living, moving or self-immobilized, bacteria in their genuine physiological liquid medium. No external immobilization protocol, neither chemical nor mechanical, was needed. For the first time, the native gliding movements of Gram-negative Nostoc cyanobacteria upon the surface, at speeds up to 900microns/h, were studied by AFM. This was possible thanks to an improved combination of a gentle sample preparation process and an AFM procedure based on fast and complete force-distance curves made at every pixel, drastically reducing lateral forces. No limitation in spatial resolution or imaging rate was detected. Gram-positive and non-motile R. wratislaviensis bacteria were studied as well. From the approach curves, Young modulus and turgor pressure were measured for both strains at different gliding speeds and are ranging from 20±3 to 105±5MPa and 40±5 to 310±30kPa depending on the bacterium and the gliding speed. For Nostoc, spatially limited zones with higher values of stiffness were observed. The related spatial period is much higher than the mean length of Nostoc nodules. This was explained by an inhomogeneous mechanical activation of nodules in the Nostoc. We also observed the presence of a soft extra cellular matrix (ECM) around the Nostoc. Both strains left a track of polymeric slime with variable thicknesses. For R. wratislaviensis, it is equal to few hundreds of nanometers, likely to promote its adhesion to the sample. While gliding, the Nostoc secretes a slime layer the thickness of which is in the nanometer range and increases with the gliding speed.

Résumé : International audience
The effect of trace concentrations of Ti on the rate and mechanism of hydrogen diffusion in pure forsterite was investigated experimentally. Forsterite doped with 350–400 ppm Ti (predominantly octahedral Ti3+, minor tetrahedral Ti4+) was prepared by diffusing Ti into pure synthetic forsterite at high temperature (1500 °C), very low oxygen fugacity (~QFM-5) at atmospheric pressure. The Ti-doped forsterite was then diffusively hydroxylated in a piston-cylinder apparatus at much lower temperatures (650–1000 °C) and higher oxygen fugacities, at 1.5–2.5 GPa, with chemical activities buffered by forsterite-enstatite or forsterite-periclase and partial pressure of H2O equal to total pressure. This produced hydrogen concentration-distance profiles of several hundred micrometers in length. Diffusion of hydrogen through the Ti-doped forsterite, even at very high Embedded Image , does not lead to redox re-equilibration of the high Ti3+/ΣTi ratio set during the synthesis of the starting material at extremely reducing conditions—the metastable point defects are partially preserved.Three main hydroxylated point defects are observed; hydroxyl is associated with Ti4+ (titano-clinohumite point defects), Ti3+ (and possibly other trivalent cations), and M-site vacancies. Concentration-distance profiles represent an interplay between diffusion and reaction (i.e., site rearrangement) to form the observed point defects. In all experiments, the concentration-distance profiles of the hydroxylated Ti defects coincide with the concentration-distance profiles of the M-site vacancy substitution, with the same crystallographic anisotropy. This suggests that the macroscopic movement of hydrogen through the crystal is due to one diffusion mechanism (the diffusion of hydroxylated M-site vacancies). The net H diffusion coefficient [logD(ΣH)], between 650–1000 °C, is Embedded Image where the values of logD0(ΣH) parallel to [100] and [001] directions are −3.0 ± 0.4 and −2.2 ± 0.4, respectively; diffusion is therefore around one order of magnitude faster along the c axis than along the a axis. The diffusion of hydrogen is slightly faster in Ti-doped forsterite than in pure forsterite. There is no effect of chemical activity or oxygen fugacity on the rate of diffusion. Hydrogen diffusion profiles represent a complex interplay between the movement of H through the crystal lattice and point-defect reactions to maintain charge balance.

Résumé : The Gulf of Aigues-Mortes (NW Mediterranean Sea) is a midshelf zone whose scale is an intermediate between the nearshore scale (0–10 m depth) and the coastal scale (including the whole continental shelf). Its hydrodynamics is investigated for the first time. ADCP, CTD and thermosalinograph data were collected during three short cruises (HYGAM; March 6–7, 20–21, April 5–6, 2005). They were scheduled approximately every 15 days to sample the gulf circulation under different weather conditions. Moreover, the cruise data were used to validate the Symphonie model, a 3D primitive equations circulation model. The circulation features displayed by in situ data were well reproduced by Symphonie. A downscaling modelling approach was implemented, the largest scale being obtained by the replay of the MFSTEP regional model of the North-Western Mediterranean Sea. The analysis, closely coupling in situ measurements and model results, provides information that would not have been obtained using data separately. The great variability of the oceanic circulation at this scale is well evidenced. Winds are the main forces, not only locally but also at a larger scale. North winds generate coherent structures interacting with the general Mediterranean circulation. The explanation of the induced currents is then not straightforward, some of them being, for example, northward. South and southeast winds reinforce the sloping surface, the latter allowing the geostrophic equilibrium with longshore currents. This study, focused on the end of winter 2004–2005, also enhances the heat fluxes from offshore to nearshore, as well as the initiation of shelf dense waters. The knowledge of the midshelf oceanic circulation is then applied to run a numerical experiment which describes both the dispersion of a fictive contaminant from a point S (at the centre of the GAM), and evaluates the risk of contamination of the beaches along the GAM shores.

The main purpose of this paper is to propose a deterministic mathematical model with control variable which describes the spatiotemporal spread of emph{Salmonella} within a laying flock. This model assume an indirect transmission of the disease within the flock through the bacteria density in the environment. We provide a mathematical analyze of the null controllability of the model: we begin to construct a family of solutions to the linear null-controllability problem using the the Carleman inequality. Then, by a generalized Leray-Shauder fixed point theorem, we show that one can bring the system to rest at final time T.
