Abstract The second lecture is devoted to wind "manipulation" practices. This inventory allows us to compare Christian and non-Christian cultural fields, to specify their modalities, their raison d'être and their fields of action, and to identify their …

Abstract In ancient Greece, oracular sanctuaries, and Delphi in particular, were the place where " the greatest, the most beautiful and the first of the laws " (Plato ,Republic , 427b)  were produced: oracles. Attributed to the god himself, these rulings …

Climate change is probably the most complex global challenge to which the environmental sciences have been alerted since their inception. It has, or is likely to have, major impacts on health, via a variety of more or less finely characterized …

After a reminder of the important notions developed in the third lesson, concerning in particular the development of the zebrafish pectoral fin and the two types of skeleton that make it up (endo- and exo-), the use of marker genes appears necessary to …

The asymptotic symmetries of three-dimensional AdS spaces with Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions have played a significant role in the discovery and subsequent developments of the AdS/CFT correspondence (or gauge/gravity duality), in particular in …

Résumé On est revenu sur la forme prise par le réalisme des universaux dans le platonisme et on a précisé ses difficultés, à partir de ce qu’en dit Platon lui-même et de la critique qu’en fait Aristote. Parmi les problèmes : celui de leur nature éminente …

Abstract The principles and parameters model (Chomsky, 1981) introduced a precise and flexible approach to the uniformity and variation of language : human languages are systems governed by universal principles, but involving binary choice points, the …

Abstract The first lecture presents Agobard's treatise, placing it in the general context of the interpretation of weather and representations of the physical world in Christian ideology. Agobard's theology of nature is representative of a current of …

While, for multifactorial pathologies, it is generally impossible to attribute the occurrence of a disease to a specific exposure at the individual level, it is possible, by changing the scale, to quantify the number of cases attributable to this factor …

After a reminder of the important concepts developed in the second lesson, particularly concerning genetic and cellular approaches to chiridial limb development, this third lesson begins with a discussion of the difficulty of finding good model fish to …

t\bar T$ and $ J\bar T$ - deformed CFTs provide an interesting example of non-local, yet UV-complete two-dimensional QFTs that are entirely solvable. They are holographically dual to AdS$_3$ gravity with mixed boundary conditions for the non-dynamical …

Abstract In previous lectures, we have studied the many facets of the relationship between law and economics, and in particular the influence of philosophy. This led us to a clearer understanding of the fundamental relationship between the use of wealth …
