Baron Dupuytren (1777-1835) and congenital dislocation of the hip.

dren's fractures, though perhaps he is best known for his description in 1832 of the contracture of the palmar aponeurosis that was named after him. However, in retrospect, probably his most important contribution was in relation to congenital dislocation of the hip. Although this condition had been discussed in Hippocratic times and mentioned occasionally by other writers, it is to Dupuytren that

We describe QCompere consortium submissions to the REPERE 2013 evaluation campaign. The REPERE challenge aims at gathering four communities (face recognition, speaker identification, optical character recognition and named entity detection) towards the same goal: multimodal person recognition in TV broadcast. First, four mono-modal components are introduced (one for each foregoing community) co...

Vanishing Homology Guillaume

In this paper we introduce a new homology theory devoted to the study of families such as semi-algebraic or subanalytic families and in general to any family definable in an o-minimal structure (such as Denjoy-Carleman definable or ln − exp definable sets). The idea is to study the cycles which are vanishing when we approach a special fiber. This also enables us to derive local metric invariant...

Professionals versus Students ∗ Guillaume

Most economic theories make general claims. That is, economic models rarely start with assumptions such as: the firms are picnic tables producers in Korea... Hence, whenever one engages in applied work testing a model, there will be issues of generalizability of the results to other data sets, environments, subject population, etc. Such concerns extend to experimental data sets since, in partic...
