Yoko–Dovyren Layered Massif: Composition, Mineralization, Overburden and Dump Rock Utilization

The crustacean cuticle: structure, composition and mineralization.

Crustaceans have a rigid exoskeleton, which is made of a layered cuticle, covering the soft body parts for protection from conspecific competitors and/or interspecific predators. Calcium carbonate adds rigidity to the crustacean cuticle, which consequently means that growth only occur at each molt. The current study presents a review of existing literature on crustacean exoskeleton cuticle phys...

Modal and thermal analysis of Les Arches unstable rock column (Vercors massif, French Alps)

Instability of a High Alpine Rock Ridge: the Lower Arête Des Cosmiques, Mont Blanc Massif, France

Rockfalls are dominant in the rock slopes and rock ridge morphodynamics in high mountain areas and endanger people who pass along or stay there, as well as infrastructure that host them (cable cars, refuges). Risks are probably greater now because of fast permafrost degradation and regression of surface ice, two consequences of the atmospheric warming of the last decades. These two commonly ass...

Layered Composition for Timed Automata

We investigate layered composition for real-time systems modelled as (networks of) timed automata (TA). We first formulate the principles of layering and transition independence for TA, and demonstrate the validity of the communication closed layer (CCL) laws in such a setting, by means of an operator for layered composition that is intermediate between parallel and sequential composition. Next...
