In this paper, we present condition based solutions to k-set agreement problems. A condition C is a set of input vectors to the problem. We identify a class of conditions that allow to solve k-set agreement in spite of f crashes in an asynchronous system. Moreover, we design a protocol that is always safe: it is guaranteed to terminate when the input vector belongs to C or there are less than k...

Le discours sur la demolition recourt generalement a des registres emotionnels et genere conflits. Cela est particulierement evident dans les debats autour de l’avenir quartiers logements sociaux, fortement influence par images stigmatisantes lequel l’investissement symbolique considerable, tant pour habitants que institutions publiques. Lorsque l’objet en question une « architecture d’auteur »...

This paper first presents a duration-dependent hypothesis regarding the parameters of the two component extreme value (TCEV) distribution and proposes a simple model to obtain the rainfall depthduration relationship both at ungauged sites and at short record gauged sites in the Sicilian region. Then, by using the annual maximum peak flood and the annual maximum mean daily discharge recorded in ...

We study the size of the sets of gradients of bump functions on the Hilbert space `2, and the related question as to how small the set of tangent hyperplanes to a smooth bounded starlike body in `2 can be. We find that those sets can be quite small. On the one hand, the usual norm of the Hilbert space `2 can be uniformly approximated by C 1 smooth Lipschitz functions ψ so that the cones generat...

I review a recent progress in understanding the Regge asymptotics in perturbative QCD including the behaviour of the structure functions of DIS at small Bjorken x. Résumé Je présente un progrès récent dans la compréhension du comportement asymptotiquè a la Regge de QCD perturbative, incluant le comportement de la fonction de structure de la diffusion profondément inélastique pour les petites va...

Use of output from global Circulation Models (GCMs) by regional or small scale rainfall-runoff models necessitates the disaggregation of the hydrological information available from GCMs to smaller scales. The hydrological processes of interest commonly occur at much smaller scales than those being modelled by GCMs. The present work examines the disaggregation of areally averaged monthly rainfal...
