This conference is not available on video. This second conference will focus on the two metaphors of peace institutions, mechanical and organic, and their respective influences on the method of " peace engineers " in Europe. The progress of the Industrial …

Abstract The evolution of animal species, including humans, is punctuated by migrations over varying distances in response to environmental change. The analysis of ancient genomes has not only characterized these movements and the evolution of migrating …

This lecture will discuss how paleogenomic data have completely changed our view of the settlement of Europe. We'll see that Europe's current populations are the result of several interbreeding events, between the first Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, …

Abstract Spin squeezing is a well-established " quantum technology ", where well-chosen correlations in an ensemble of two-level systems reduce the statistical uncertainty of spectroscopic measurements. After an introduction outlining the issues at stake …

Abstract Hyperuniformity is the property of collections of random points for which the variance of the number of points in a large box is negligible compared to the volume of the box. This notion, introduced by S. Torquato (a theoretical chemist) in the …

Abstract As in the rest of the world, including the West, the history of Việt Nam is no exception to a masculine writing of history, where women have been so few of its actors and authors. While the image of the female warrior runs through Vietnamese …

The main temple at Aï Khanoum, a reopened debate. The Oxus temple at Takht-i Sangin, a long-standing debate. …

Abstract Among the wide and heterogeneous documentation on papyrus dealing with the explanation and interpretation of the Homeric poems, the glossaries represent the most widespread typology. This paper aims to illustrate the Homeric glossaries as textual …

The -phoros compounds are numerous in the Greek language and refer to the fact of " porter " or " apporter " something. In the context of cults, priestly titles or titles of servants on this theme are legion : bearers of branches, bearers of baskets, and …

Abstract This first lecture will describe the emergence of persistent data structures in two different historical contexts : on the one hand, the emergence of purely functional programming languages and their equational approaches to program derivation …

This first lecture takes us from the slopes of the Himalayas, between India and Nepal, to the Clivus Capitolinus that leads to the Capitol of ancient Rome in the 1st  century BC. Different times and places, but similar problems : horses and mules pulling …

Abstract I have chosen to illustrate the second degree through the papyri of Dioscorus of Aphrodite ( 6th   century). These texts, found in a jar in 1905, paint the picture of a Dioscorus who was a teacher, if we take the trouble to examine the books in …

Abstract The last five   decades have seen the construction of a new branch of statistical physics that studies highly disordered systems. Starting with the study of spin glasses, this field has expanded to cover complex systems in various branches of …

Abstract Gaussian processes are defined by their means and covariances. The covariance matrix of a stationary process is a convolution operator that is diagonalized in the Fourier basis. Its eigenvalues define the spectral power of the process. Multiscale …
