Event Samantha Besson The common law of international representation Lecture 23 Feb 2023 10:00 to 11:30 Event Jean-Luc Fournet Introduction : School is everywhere... you just have to find it ! (2) Lecture Abstract School documentation : its biases and limitations (2) The biggest hurdle facing anyone wishing to work on schooling from papyri is whether or not they are dealing with a school text. This brings us to a review of the criteria for belonging to … 22 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Valentin De Bortoli Maximum entropy image synthesis Seminar Abstract Recent years have seen a boom in neural network-based techniques for image synthesis. These methods are most often based on the minimization of a function, for which the minimizers are assumed to be the solutions of the synthesis problem. In this … 22 Feb 2023 11:15 to 12:30 Event Stéphane Mallat Entropy increase and macrocanonical assemblies Lecture Abstract The entropy rate of a Markov chain is calculated as a function of its transition matrix. It is shown that the Kullback-Liebler distance (relative entropy) always decreases for two probability distributions evolving along a Markov chain. If the … 22 Feb 2023 09:30 to 11:00 Event Benoit Coasne Adsorption and fluid transport in nanoporous materials Seminar Abstract Due to their nanometric porosity and high specific surface area, nanoporous materials are at the heart of fundamental research aimed at studying the role of nanoconfinement and surface forces on thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Moreover, by … 22 Feb 2023 15:30 to 17:00 Event Lydéric Bocquet Fluctuations at nanoscales : transport and fluctuating surfaces Lecture As Feynman remarked, " Everything that living things do can be understood in terms of the jigglings and wigglings of atoms ". At nanometric scales, fluctuations become predominant. How do they affect transport, and can we take advantage of them for … 22 Feb 2023 14:00 to 15:30 Event François-Xavier Fauvelle To Ethiopia with Cosmas (6th c.), Benjamin (12th c.), Marco (13th c.)

Princesses could also become priestesses, like those dedicated to Sin in Ur or Šamaš in … 20 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Laure Ségurel The evolutionary history of humans : what DNA has taught us Seminar Abstract Population genetics is the discipline of tracing the evolutionary history of populations and species by analyzing their DNA sequences. This alternative to archaeology enables us to better understand the movements of past populations, their … 20 Feb 2023 11:00 to 12:00 Event Virginie Courtier-Orgogozo How DNA sequences have changed our view of the living world Lecture The sequencing and comparison of DNA sequences has made it possible to discover important phenomena in living organisms that were previously hidden from our senses. Reconstruction of kinship links between species, biogeography, evolution of character … 20 Feb 2023 10:00 to 11:00 News Digital publication of Prof. Emmanuelle Porcher's opening lecture Emmanuelle Porcher, chair Biodiversity and ecosystems Emmanuelle Porcher Pollination : a balance in peril While biodiversity is often understood as the variety of life forms, it is also characterized by the diversity of interactions between living beings : competition, cooperation, predation...

Everyone was able to grasp the power of this conversational agent, but how it worked remained a mystery to many. … Published on 22 November 2024 Event Tamsir Ndiaye The experience of cooperation in the management of a transboundary watercourse : the case of the Organization for the Development of the Senegal River (OMVS) Seminar Abstract The Organization for the Development of the River Senegal (OMVS) is unique in many respects. 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.
