Résumé : International audience
More and more animal species are endangered. In order to study and protect them, several measures have been taken, which now seem to show their limit. This work focuses on the counting process, a key issue for any project that aims to protect animals. Indeed, this paper proposes an algorithm for automatic counting of singing birds in their habitat by using wireless sensors fitted with microphone. Sensors are used to record audio samples of bird songs. These samples are used to extract some kinds of song fingerprint that are thereafter used to recognize the bird species, through a classification process. Afterwards, by analyzing data which have been collected by a central base, the network structure derived from detection fields of sensors, allows our algorithm to propose an estimate of singing birds in the habitat. This paper details the counting algorithm which uses graph theory and audio inputs comparison. Finally, we demonstrate our scheme efficiency through experimentations.

Résumé : We reviewed the literature concerning fish aggregation devices (FADs) to determine areas of relative research deficiency. Using specific searches of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts ( ASFA) database from 1978 to December 2003 and a classical search of the pre-1978 literature, we collected 407 references on FADs. Publications before 1980 were predominantly peer-reviewed, although non-peer reviewed literature has dominated since 1980, due to the numerous technical reports produced as FADs became more widely used in artisinal and large-scale industrial. sheries in the 1980s. Most studies of the ecology of FAD-associated fish were descriptive, with few mensurative experimental studies and even fewer manipulative experimental studies that tested specific hypotheses, due to inherent difficulties in working in the open ocean on objects that are temporary in space and time. Research on the ecology of FAD-associated fish has focused on moored FADs, despite the major FAD-based. sheries being around drifting FADs. Publications presenting information on moored FADs outnumbered papers on drifting FADs by a ratio of 3.5: 1. We recommend that greater emphasis be placed by. sheries scientists and funding agencies on researching drifting FADs to provide better information for management of large-scale FAD-based industrial. sheries. Future research should focus on determining the patterns of use of drifting FADs by pelagic species, the underlying sensory processes of attraction and the ecological consequences for individual fish stocks and the wider pelagic ecosystem of the use of FADs as. sheries enhancement tools.

Résumé : International audience
EmailPrintRequest PermissionsThe emergence of new communication means such as online newspapers and exchange and sharing websites allow us to go further in the understanding of diffusion phenomena. Indeed, these public discussion areas are now firmly established in our societies and are known to be strong sensors of both human behaviors and collective feelings. In this paper we focus on diffusion phenomena that occur on Twitter and we propose a set of measures that aims to characterize globally and locally the processes. Our objective is to identify what are the conditions in which a person decides to forward the information. Our measures have been used to study two events occurred in January 2015: the presentation of Microsoft HoloLens, a new augmented reality headset, and the political election in Greece. The results obtained show a strong heterogeneity in the individual behaviours involved in the diffusion process. Our approach has been implemented into a graphical tool which is able to conduct real time analysis on any kind of topics occurring on Twitter.

International audience
The work presented in this paper is part of a global framework which long term goal is to design a wireless sensor network able to support the observation of a population of endangered birds. We present the first stage for which we have conducted a knowledge discovery approach on a sample of acoustical data. We use MFCC features extracted from bird songs and we exploit two knowledge discovery techniques. One that relies on clustering-based approaches, that highlights the homogeneity in the songs of the species. The other, based on predictive modeling, that demonstrates the good performances of various machine learning techniques for the identification process. The knowledge elicited provides promising results to consider a widespread study and to elicit guidelines for designing a first version of the automatic approach for data collection based on acoustic sensors.

Résumé : International audience
Context: Woodcutting is a very old technology but scientific research is scarce on the subject. In the last 50 years much work on basic mechanisms as well as industrial processes has been done in France. Aims: The specific nature of wood introduces strong differences between wood and metal cutting processes. The paper focuses on French teams' contributions. Results: The basic aspects of the tool–material interaction for different basic modes in woodcutting are highlighted. In primary conversion such as sawing, veneer cutting or green wood chipping, huge progress comes from automation and the possibility of linking the process to log and product quality through new sensors. In secondary processing much has been done on the links between the cutting process, surface qualification and the properties of these surfaces for further processing, such as gluing or coating. Tool wear depends on the cutting process, timber quality, and species. Trade-offs are required in tool technology and coating technologies may improve tool life. Conclusion: A large amount of knowledge and innovation has come from 50 years of worldwide research effort, with France being particularly active in this period. The transfer of skills from metals cutting industry was often a key, but much is needed to move closer to both metal cutting sector and woodcutting skills among craftsmen.

Résumé : International audience
Due to their geographic location and traditional diet, rich in seafood and marine mammals, the Inuit living in Arctic Quebec are exposed to high amounts of pollutants, including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). While the adverse developmental effects of these pesticides on child cognitive functions are well known, the effects of developmental exposure to OP on sensory processes have not been investigated. The aim of this longitudinal study was to assess the effects of prenatal and childhood exposure to 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (p,p'-DDT) and its major metabolite 1,1,-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (p,p'-DDE), on visual processing in Inuit children in Nunavik (Arctic Québec). p,p'-DDT and p,p'-DDE concentrations were determined from umbilical cord and 5- and 11-year plasma samples. Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were successfully recorded in 150 children at 4 contrast levels (95%, 30%, 12%, and 4%). Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted to determine the association between p,p'-DDT, or p,p'-DDE, exposure and VEPs while controlling for the effects of various confounders, including fish nutrients and other contaminants. p,p'-DDE measured in umbilical cord plasma was significantly related to the amplitude of the N150 response at the lowest contrast (4%). In addition, 5-year p,p'-DDE plasma concentration was significantly associated with decreased N75 amplitude. These findings indicate that p,p'-DDE exposure, both pre- and postnatally, during early childhood is associated with visual processing impairment later in life.

Résumé : International audience
Lateralization, i.e. the preferential use of one side of the body, may convey fitness benefits for organisms within rapidly-changing environments, by optimizing separate and parallel processing of different information between the two brain hemispheres. In coral reef-fishes, the movement of larvae from planktonic to reef environments (recruitment) represents a major life-history transition. This transition requires larvae to rapidly identify and respond to sensory cues to select a suitable habitat that facilitates survival and growth. This ‘recruitment’ is critical for population persistence and resilience. In aquarium experiments, larval Acanthurus triostegus preferentially used their right-eye to investigate a variety of visual stimuli. Despite this, when held in in situ cages with predators, those larvae that previously favored their left-eye exhibited higher survival. These results support the “brain’s right-hemisphere” theory, which predicts that the right-eye (i.e. left-hemisphere) is used to categorize stimuli while the left-eye (i.e. right-hemisphere) is used to inspect novel items and initiate rapid behavioral-responses. While these experiments confirm that being highly lateralized is ecologically advantageous, exposure to chlorpyrifos, a pesticide often inadvertently added to coral-reef waters, impaired visual-lateralization. This suggests that chemical pollutants could impair the brain function of larval fishes during a critical life-history transition, potentially impacting recruitment success.

Résumé : While it is well known that the ocean is one of the most important component of the climate system, with a heat capacity 1,100 times greater than the atmosphere, the ocean is also the primary reservoir for freshwater transport to the atmosphere and largest component of the global water cycle. Two new satellite sensors, the ESA Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and the NASA Aquarius SAC-D missions, are now providing the first space-borne measurements of the sea surface salinity (SSS). In this paper, we present examples demonstrating how SMOS-derived SSS data are being used to better characterize key land–ocean and atmosphere–ocean interaction processes that occur within the marine hydrological cycle. In particular, SMOS with its ocean mapping capability provides observations across the world’s largest tropical ocean fresh pool regions, and we discuss from intraseasonal to interannual precipitation impacts as well as large-scale river runoff from the Amazon–Orinoco and Congo rivers and its offshore advection. Synergistic multi-satellite analyses of these new surface salinity data sets combined with sea surface temperature, dynamical height and currents from altimetry, surface wind, ocean color, rainfall estimates, and in situ observations are shown to yield new freshwater budget insight. Finally, SSS observations from the SMOS and Aquarius/SAC-D sensors are combined to examine the response of the upper ocean to tropical cyclone passage including the potential role that a freshwater-induced upper ocean barrier layer may play in modulating surface cooling and enthalpy flux in tropical cyclone track regions.

Résumé : Society's needs for a network of in situ ocean observing systems cross many areas of earth and marine science. Here we review the science themes that benefit from data supplied from ocean observatories. Understanding from existing studies is fragmented to the extent that it lacks the coherent long-term monitoring needed to address questions at the scales essential to understand climate change and improve geo-hazard early warning. Data sets from the deep sea are particularly rare with long-term data available from only a few locations worldwide. These science areas have impacts on societal health and well-being and our awareness of ocean function in a shifting climate. Substantial efforts are underway to realise a network of open-ocean observatories around European Seas that will operate over multiple decades. Some systems are already collecting high-resolution data from surface, water column, seafloor, and sub-seafloor sensors linked to shore by satellite or cable connection in real or near-real time, along with samples and other data collected in a delayed mode. We expect that such observatories will contribute to answering major ocean science questions including: How can monitoring of factors such as seismic activity, pore fluid chemistry and pressure, and gas hydrate stability improve seismic, slope failure, and tsunami warning? What aspects of physical oceanography, biogeochemical cycling, and ecosystems will be most sensitive to climatic and anthropogenic change? What are natural versus anthropogenic changes? Most fundamentally, how are marine processes that occur at differing scales related? The development of ocean observatories provides a substantial opportunity for ocean science to evolve in Europe. Here we also describe some basic attributes of network design. Observatory networks provide the means to coordinate and integrate the collection of standardised data capable of bridging measurement scales across a dispersed area in European Seas adding needed certainty to estimates of future oceanic conditions. Observatory data can be analysed along with other data such as those from satellites, drifting floats, autonomous underwater vehicles, model analysis, and the known distribution and abundances of marine fauna in order to address some of the questions posed above. Standardised methods for information management are also becoming established to ensure better accessibility and traceability of these data sets and ultimately to increase their use for societal benefit. The connection of ocean observatory effort into larger frameworks including the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) and the Global Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES) is integral to its success. It is in a greater integrated framework that the full potential of the component systems will be realised. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Résumé : International audience
Wood debris are an important component of mangrove marine environments. Current knowledge of the ecological role of wood falls is limited by the absence of information on metazoan colonization processes over time. The aim of this study was to provide insights to their temporal dynamics of wood eukaryotic colonization from a shallow water experiment in a mangrove swamp. Combined in situ chemical monitoring and biological surveys revealed that the succession of colonizers in the mangrove swamp relates with the rapid evolution of sulfide concentration on the wood surface. Sulfide-tolerant species are among the first colonizers and dominate over several weeks when the sulfide content is at its maximum, followed by less tolerant opportunistic species when sulfide decreases. This study supports the idea that woody debris can sustain chemosynthetic symbioses over short time-scale in tropical shallow waters.

Résumé : The aim of this paper is to present in a practical fashion the status of the use of remote sensing for the study of coral reef environments through the analysis of work published in the years 1980-2000. We review the scales of the potential work and of that actually conducted, the principal applications and their limiting factors. We detail these limitations which are of a technological nature (spatial and spectral resolution of sensors), as well as often of a conceptual (role of remote sensing in the study) or methodological (image processing) nature. The understanding of these limitations, in relation to the reality of the field, allows identification of work which could be undertaken in the years 2000.
Cet article présente, de façon pragmatique, le bilan de l’usage de la télédétection pour l’étude des milieux coralliens, à travers l’analyse des travaux publiés dans les vingt dernières années. Nous exposons les échelles de travail potentielles et celles réellement pratiquées, les principales applications et leurs facteurs limitants. Nous détaillons ces limites qui sont d’ordre technologique (résolutions spatiales et spectrales des capteurs), mais aussi bien souvent d’ordre conceptuel (place de la télédétection dans l’étude), ou méthodologique (traitement des images). La compréhension de ces limites, confrontées à la réalité du terrain, permet de cadrer les travaux qui pourront être menés au début du troisième millénaire.

Résumé : International audience
The data available in the literature concerning wood cutting forces permit to build models or to simulate the main wood machining processes (milling, sawing, peeling etc.). This approach contributes to a better understanding of formation of wood surfaces and chips and the data may be helpful to optimize cutting geometry, reduce tool wear, improve tool material, and to size tool-machines. The models may also be useful for industrial application in two ways: (1) providing data to optimise the settings for a given operation (batch approach) and (2) building predictive models that could be the basis of an online control systems for the machining processes (interactive approach). A prerequisite for this is that numerous machining tests on different wood materials are performed based on experiences with different kind of tools and experimental devices. With potential industrial applications in focus, the emphasis of this review was on the wood peeling process, which is a very demanding special case of wood cutting. Though not so many industrial machines are equipped with expensive force sensors, there is a lot of high quality information available about cutting forces which may be useful to improve the scientific or technologic knowledge in wood machining. Alternative parameters, such as vibration or sound measurements, appear to be promising substitutes in the praxis, particularly to feed online control systems of any wood cutting process.

Résumé : International audience
This study presents two algorithms that count birds with wireless sensors equipped with microphones. Audio inputs are parametrized to get some kind of fingerprints which are used to recognize the song of the birds in a classification process. Afterward, counting algorithms derive an estimate of the number of singing birds in the habitat. Unlike traditional approaches which leverage the audio waveform to get the location of the targets, we use a trilateration technique on graphs derived from the detection of the birds. These graphs exhibit nice properties which enable the finding of the estimate in polynomial time. Further, experiments are conducted and confirmm the efficiency of our counting algorithms even in the presence of noise.

Résumé : Given the technological development of embedded satellite sensors, the potential of available satellite images increases so that the question now arises of their most efficient exploitation possible. This is the purpose of the CARTAM-SAT project to fluidize the processing workflow from satellite images to users. The thesis is part of this framework.Processing operations relating to images have evolved over the years. Low-resolution images were processed by a so-called pixel approach while the high-resolution has allowed the development of a so-called object approach. The latter focuses on analysing not about the isolated pixels, but about groups of pixels representative of concrete objects on the ground. Thus, in principle, these are groups of pixels with a domain-specific remote sensing semantics.Along with satellite imagery, knowledge representation has evolved. The standards of representation have benefited from the expansion of the web to give rise to standards like OWL. This one is widely based on description logics that allow the use of automated reasoners able to infer implicit knowledge.This thesis is at the junction of these two sciences and provides an ontological approach for analysing satellite images. The aim is to formalize different types of knowledges and conceptualizations implicitly used by image processing programs and by remote sensing experts, and then reasoning automatically on an image description to obtain one semantic interpretation.This general principle may have numerous technical variations. The implementation consisted in a prototype combining a satellite image analysis library and an ontology-based reasoner. The implementation proposed in the thesis allows to explore four technical variations of the principle that lead to discussions on the complementarity of pixel and object analysis paradigms, the representation of some of the spatial relations and the role of knowledge in relation to processing.
Étant donnée l'évolution technologique des capteurs embarqués à bord des satellites, le potentiel d'images satellitaires accessible s'accroît de telle manière que se pose maintenant la question de son exploitation la plus efficace possible. C'est l'objectif du projet CARTAM-SAT que de fluidifier la chaîne de traitement depuis les satellites jusqu'aux utilisateurs des images. La thèse s'inscrit dans ce cadre. Les traitements relatifs aux images ont évolué au cours des années. Les images basse résolution étaient traitées par une approche dite pixel alors que la haute résolution a permis le développement d'une approche dite objet. Cette dernière s'attache à analyser non plus des pixels isolés, mais des groupes de pixels représentatifs d'objets concrets sur le terrain. Ainsi, en principe, ces groupes de pixels sont dotés d'une sémantique propre au domaine de la télédétection. La représentation des connaissances a évolué parallèlement aux images satellitaires. Les standards de représentation ont profité de l'expansion du web pour donner naissance à des standards comme OWL. Celui-ci repose en grande partie sur les logiques de description qui permettent l'utilisation de raisonneurs automatiques capables d'inférer une connaissance implicite.Cette thèse se place à la jonction de ces deux sciences et propose une approche ontologique d'analyse des images satellitaires. Il s'agit de formaliser différents types de connaissances et de conceptualisations implicitement utilisés par les logiciels de traitement d'image et par les experts en télédétection, puis de raisonner automatiquement sur la description d'une image pour en obtenir une interprétation sémantique.Ce principe général est susceptible de nombreuses déclinaisons techniques. La mise en œuvre a consisté en la réalisation d'un prototype alliant une bibliothèque d'analyse d'images satellitaires et un raisonneur basé sur les ontologies. L'implémentation proposée dans la thèse permet d'explorer quatre déclinaisons techniques du principe qui mènent à des discussions sur la complémentarité des paradigmes d'analyse pixel et objet, la représentation de certaines relations spatiales et la place de la connaissance par rapport aux traitements.

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 : International audience
This article aims to specify the challenges related to adapting the Disability Creation Process (DCP) model to the experience of chronic disease, specifically Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this perspective, a conceptual clarification is proposed because the DCP is mainly used to study populations in situations of disability due to motor, sensory, mental or behavioral disabilities. However, this model seems to be able to adequately read the specific experience of HIV, and help to understand differently life trajec-tories of people living with HIV (PLHIV). Indeed, HIV infection, despite its status as a "chronic disease", continues to contribute to the risk of social isolation. Body modifications induced by the disease or its treatment has an impact on how others view PLHIV. They expose the visibility of HIV status and, ultimately, the fear of social exclusion. In this respect, the analysis of the DCP may allow us to understand the varia-tions in the quality of social participation and identify the phases of vulnerability by focusing on body image in particular induced by the infection or treatments. This approach provides the opportunity for new insight into the influence of social environments (particularly health management or community support) with re-gards to the lifestyle and the daily experiences of socially disadvantaged people.
Cet article tente de spécifier les enjeux d’une adaptation du modèle du Processus de production du handicap (PPH) au vécu de la maladie chronique, et plus spécifiquement du virus de l’immunodéfi-cience humaine (VIH). Dans cette perspective, un éclaircissement conceptuel est proposé, car le PPH a principalement été utilisé pour étudier les populations vivant des situations de handicap liées à des incapa-cités motrices, sensorielles, intellectuelles ou comportementales. Ce modèle semble toutefois en mesure de renouveler la lecture de l’expérience spécifique du VIH, et d’aider à saisir autrement les trajectoires de vie des personnes vivant avec le VIH (PVVIH). En effet, l’infection au VIH, malgré son statut de « maladie chronique », demeure associée à un risque d’isolement social. Les modifications corporelles induites par la maladie ou par son traitement confronte les PVVIH au regard de l’autre. Elles exposent à la visibilité du statut sérologique et, in fine, à la peur de l’exclusion sociale. Dans ce cadre, l’analyse du Processus de production du handicap peut permettre de comprendre les variations de la qualité de la participation sociale et d’identifier les phases de vulnérabilité en s’intéressant notamment au rapport au corps induit par l’infection et les traitements. Cette approche offre l’opportunité d’un nouvel éclairage sur le poids des envi-ronnements sociaux (notamment des dispositifs de prises en charge sanitaire ou d’accompagnement communautaire) sur les habitudes de vie et l’expérience quotidienne d’un public fragilisé socialement.

Résumé : On the basis of an existing multiparameter borehole fluid sensor(p, T Cw, pH, Eh), a new downhole tool designed for 200 bars and 75 degrees C was developed to measure the spontaneous electrical potential in situ with great precision (better than a mu V). To this end, the new sensor is based on the use of unpolarizable Pb/PbCl2 electrodes either at the surface or downhole. In situ testing has demonstrated a capacity to identify several subsurface sources of natural electrical potential such as diffusion ones (membrane potential in the presence of clays, Fickian processes due to pore fluid salinity gradients), or else the electrokinetic mechanisms with gradients in pore fluid pressure. As a consequence, Multi-Sensors Electrical Tool (MuSET) might be used as an "electrical flow meter" sensitive to both horizontal and vertical fluid flow in a vertical borehole.

Résumé : International audience
The number of satellites and sensors devoted to Earth observation has become increasingly elevated, delivering extensive data, especially images. At the same time, the access to such data and the tools needed to process them has considerably improved. In the presence of such data flow, we need automatic image interpretation methods, especially when it comes to the monitoring and prediction of environmental and societal changes in highly dynamic socio-environmental contexts. This could be accomplished via artificial intelligence. The concept described here relies on the induction of classification rules that explicitly take into account structural knowledge, using Aleph, an Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) system, combined with a multi-class classification procedure. This methodology was used to monitor changes in land cover/use of the French Guiana coastline. One hundred and fifty-eight classification rules were induced from 3 diachronic land cover/use maps including 38 classes. These rules were expressed in first order logic language, which makes them easily understandable by non-experts. A 10-fold cross-validation gave significant average values of 84.62%, 99.57% and 77.22% for classification accuracy, specificity and sensitivity, respectively. Our methodology could be beneficial to automatically classify new objects and to facilitate object-based classification procedures.
