The organization has enabled its member states to pool their financial and human resources to invest in the construction of major development … 17 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Edouard Bard Sea level at the Last Glacial Maximum Lecture 17 Feb 2023 15:00 to 16:30 Event Laurence Boisson de Chazournes Dams and other hydraulic structures : between tension and cooperation Lecture Abstract The construction of dams and other hydraulic structures can be a source of tension and dispute between riparian states. International law attempts to dispel them through confidence-building measures, based in particular on the communication of … 17 Feb 2023 10:00 to 11:00 Event Jean-Luc Fournet A curious wooden tablet from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo Seminar Abstract The public will be asked to consider the functions of a wooden tablet containing a contract written in Greek on one side, dating from the 7th century AD. The reverse, containing a text in Coptic, may provide the … 16 Feb 2023 15:30 to 17:00 Event Vinciane Pirenne-Delforge Singing Demeter : theHomeric Hymn (1) Lecture The Hymn " Homeric " to Demeter has been preserved as part of a collection of thirty-three hymnal pieces in honor of a whole series of divinities, whose hexametric form has associated them with Homer's name. Both the date and length of these poems vary. … 16 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Jean-Luc Fournet Introduction : School is everywhere... you just have to find it ! (1) Lecture Abstract The centrality of schools The centrality of the school explains why the State and the Church were particularly interested in it during the period we're looking at. The former paid increasing attention to teaching, and for this reason was the … 15 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Bruno Loureiro Statistical physics and neural networks Seminar Abstract Despite the rapid evolution in the development and deployment of machine learning methods in almost all areas of society, our theoretical understanding of the mechanisms behind this success remains rather limited. As discussed several times in … 15 Feb 2023 11:15 to 12:30 Event Stéphane Mallat Ergodicity and Markov chains Lecture Abstract The Shannon-MacMillan-Breiman theorem proves the asymptotic equipartition property in typical sets, as soon as the process is ergodic. The notion of ergodicity and Birkhoff's theorem are introduced, but not proved. The main argument of the proof … 15 Feb 2023 09:30 to 11:00 Event Nikita Kavokine Quantum plumbing: where fluid dynamics meet condensed matter physics Seminar Abstract Liquids are usually described within classical physics, whereas solids require the tools of quantum mechanics. I will show how in nanoscale systems this distinction no longer holds. At these scales, liquid flows may in fact exhibit quantum … 15 Feb 2023 15:30 to 17:00 Event Lydéric Bocquet Flow, from hydrodynamic slip to quantum friction Lecture At nanometric scales, surface effects obviously become predominant. Wall friction effects play a key role, impacting all transport processes - fluid, ionic, etc. They originate in molecular friction at the interface between the fluid, e.g. water, and the … 15 Feb 2023 14:00 to 15:30 Event Laurence Plazenet Handwriting pathologies in the classical age Seminar Abstract Seventeenth-century authors say almost nothing about their own writing practice or their conception of their work, even though it was during this period that the advent of the author took place. This is because writing is linked to the … 14 Feb 2023 18:00 to 19:00 Event William Marx " What will become of Europe's intellectual capital ? " Lecture Abstract Valéry's schema of the two mountains presupposes a hierarchy between works, according to the degree of exigency they carry. From this stems an essential problem : how do we know what type of aesthetic requirement is carried by a work ? What … 14 Feb 2023 17:00 to 18:00 Event Vincent Maisonneuve Fluorinated materials as positive electrodes for Li- and Na-Ion Seminar 13 Feb 2023 17:00 to 18:00 Event Jean-Marie Tarascon AMXO4 polyanionic insertion materials with the emergence of LiFePO4 and its LiFe1-xMnxPO4 derivatives Lecture 13 Feb 2023 16:00 to 17:00 Event Antoine Lilti Discovering Europe Lecture 13 Feb 2023 14:30 to 15:30 Event Dominique Charpin Families and gods Lecture Religion is most often studied through the lens of official worship. We'll be looking at the intimacy of families, observing domestic spaces reserved for worship (" chapels ") and family devotions through the legends of cylinder … 13 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Guy Bunin Many-Species Dynamics in Ecosystems Seminar Interactions between species in nature can lead to fluctuations in population sizes, as for example in a two-species predator-prey system. What dynamical behavior should we expect when many species are involved, as is often the case in nature? I will … 13 Feb 2023 11:15 to 12:15 Event Bernard Derrida Asymmetric neural networks and random automata Lecture 13 Feb 2023 09:30 to 11:00 Event Sylvain Charlat The emergence of Darwinian individuality : towards a meta-evolutionary perspective Seminar Abstract From intragenomic conflicts to mutualistic symbioses, biological interactions invite us to question the foundations of a rarely-explained concept that is nonetheless essential to Darwinian reasoning : the individual. The individual as " level of … 13 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Virginie Courtier-Orgogozo The living world is embedded in a historical process Lecture The machine metaphor does not apply well to living elements. Every cell derives from a cell. Every living thing derives from another living thing. The future dynamics of an ecosystem can only be understood in the light of its past history. Synthetic … 13 Feb 2023 10:00 to 11:00 Series Colonial/post-colonial, the proper use of concepts. Crisis in the East : the failure of Arab nationalism (continued) Henry Laurens, chair Contemporary History of the Arab World Lecture 24 Nov 2021 → 12 Jan 2022 Event Pedro Arrojo-Agudo Water commoditization and the human right to drinking water and sanitation Seminar Abstract Although water is essential to life, it is often regarded as an economic good that must be managed according to the logic of the market. This commodification of water carries risks and impacts on respect for human rights to drinking water and … 10 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Véronique Izard Cognitive foundations of mathematics Seminar 10 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:30 Event Stéphane Mischler Constructive Krein-Rutman theorem and applications Seminar Abstract In this talk, I will present results concerning a constructive approach to the Krein-Rutman theorem motivated by the asymptotic analysis of evolution PDEs.
