ERCIM “ Alain Bensoussan ” Fellowship

During my fellowship, I was incorporated into the image group on the “Human Motion Imitation” (HUMIM) project. This project consists in proposing a human motion model implying different mathematical techniques. Consequently, this project implies different skills in computer science, human physiology, mechanics and physics, optimisation’s problems, differential geometry and statistics, and requi...

Chromatop~ores from photoreaction centerless strain F24 of R h o d o ~ ~ i r i ~ u m rubru~ were subjected to different doses of y radiation. Target theory was applied to the induced decay of the B880 holochrome pigments as analyzed by absorption spectroscopy of the membranes and of organic solvent extracts. Destruction of bacteriochlorophyll is associated with a target size of 7 kDa. This indi...

is itself of a non-mechanical origin because it is caused by the coupling of the system to the environment that is described statistically by temperature and other thermodynamic parameters. The origin of these statements goes back to the years when it was impossible to solve equations of motion for systems with a macroscopic number of degrees of freedom. However, with the growth of computing po...

A Tribute to Alain Colmerauer

As an invited contributor to this Festschrift honoring Alain Colmerauer, I feel compelled to give not only an account of his main research contributions, but also of my perspective on the motivations behind them. I hope that this will provide the reader with a glimpse of how a focused, tenacious, rigorous, and inventive mind like Alain’s picks research problems and proceeds to solve them. The h...
