RÉSUMÉ. Le matching, est une opération importante pour les processus assurant l’interopérabilité de systèmes d’information notamment pour des applications telles que l'échange, l'intégration et la transformation de données. Toutefois, la problématique du matching se pose avec acuité lorsque le nombre et le volume des schémas de données est important. C’est notamment le cas pour les applications...

We study classical dynamics of a probe Dp-brane moving in a background sourced by a stack of Dp-branes. In this context the physics is similar to that of the effective action for open-string tachyon condensation, but with a power-law runaway potential. We show that small inhomogeneous ripples of the probe brane embedding grow with time, leading to folding of the brane as it moves. We give a ful...

We present a theoretical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model describing the time-dependent expulsion of a three-dimensional coronal mass ejection (CME) out of the solar corona. The model relates the white-light appearance of the CME to its internal magnetic Ðeld, which takes the form of a closed bubble, Ðlled with a partly anchored, twisted magnetic Ñux rope, and embedded in an otherwise open backg...

There is normally the need for different grid architectures depending on the constrains: from enterprise infrastructures, to partner or outsourced ones. We present the technology that enables the creation and combination of different grid architectures, offering the possibility to create federated grids that can be easily deployed as compute utilities on grid infrastructures based on the Globus...

RÉSUMÉ. L’étude des changements d’occupation et d’utilisation des sols à une échelle locale par télédétection repose sur des méthodes de classification nécessitant une forte intervention des opérateurs, ce qui limite fortement leur transposabilité. Cet article présente une méthode de classification orientée objet basée sur une analyse en ondelettes et la théorie des évidences de Dempster-Shafer...

La construction automatique de scénarios à partir des signaux (séries temporelles) produits par les appareils de surveillance de patients en anesthésie réanimation est le premier pas vers l’élaboration de systèmes de monitoring intelligent. Mais dans ce contexte, les connaissances a priori ne sont pas suffisantes pour orienter efficacement un apprentissage à partir des données complexes que son...

Additional Contributions:We are indebted to themycological laboratory staff of Sun Yat-sen University, Sun Yat-senMemorial Hospital, including Li Yan Xi, MD, PhD; ChangMing Lu, MD; Sha Lu, MD, PhD; and Ying Hui Liu, MD, without whose invaluable assistance this study could not have been performed. These persons received no payment for their contributions beyond that received in the normal course...

Understanding how Earth has sustained surface liquid water throughout its history remains a key challenge, given that the Sun's luminosity was much lower in the past. Here we show that with an atmospheric composition consistent with the most recent constraints, the early Earth would have been significantly warmed by H(2)-N(2) collision-induced absorption. With two to three times the present-day...
