Abstract Meso-scale turbulence was originally observed experimentally in various suspensions of swimming bacteria, as well the collective motion active colloids. The corresponding large scale dynamical patterns were reproduced a simple model polar fluid, assuming constant density particles. Recent, more detailed studies variety experimental realizations fluids revealed additional interesting as...

We propose a three-scale hierarchical representation of scenes and objects and show how this representation is suitable for both computer vision capture of models from images and efficient photo-realistic graphics rendering. The model consists of: (1) a conventional triangulated geometry on the macro-scale; (2) a displacement map, introducing pixel-wise depth with respect to each planar model f...

The paper reviews some recent numerical applications for the interpretation and exploitation of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring results obtained from historical masonry structures and materials. Among possible numerical techniques, the finite element method and the distinct method are considered. The analyzed numerical models cover the entire scale range, from microstructure and meso-structur...

Purpose: It has been widely noted that existing healthcare systems do not always function effectively for the transgender population. Despite existing healthcare barriers, however, transgender individuals have been shown to have positive healthcare experiences. This study explored a cohort of transgender individuals who had positive healthcare experiences, and those who were involved in creatin...

Within this project, Meteo-France is in charge of evaluating the transport of the patch of pollution at the sea surface and the atmospheric dispersion of the chemical substance linked to its evaporation. A modelling system has been settled, which consists of the coupling of two models: The first one, MOTHY, is Meteo-France operational drift forecast system in case of marine pollution. It is a t...
