The first phase in the history of French Assyriology came to an end with the outbreak of the First World War. In the two decades leading up to this event, fieldwork previously carried out by the French and English was marked by the arrival of new nations. …

Abstract Multiresolution theory provides a mathematical framework for constructing orthonormal wavelet bases, and obtaining a fast computation of decomposition coefficients in a wavelet base. The starting point is the approximation of signals x at …

Interview with Philippe Jordan The Collège de France welcomes the Opéra national de Paris The first event in this cycle took place on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 6:30 pm in the Marguerite de Navarre amphitheater. Philippe Jordan, music director of the …

Résumé L’analyse de Fourier est l’un des outils les plus importants de la combinatoire additive. Étant donné un sous-ensemble d’un groupe abélien fini, la transformation de Fourier de sa fonction caractéristique encapsule une grande partie de …

Analyzing batteries during operation and diagnosing malfunctions at an early stage is essential for increasing efficiency and user safety. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a rather unique non-invasive and non-destructive technique, as it can …

The challenge is to extend the life of batteries while increasing their reliability, hence the need to develop non-intrusive diagnostic technologies capable of detecting what is happening inside commercial batteries during use. The sources of failure are …

Abstract The seminar presented the Koran 12-21 website. The aim of the site is to make several translations of the Qur'an, from the 12th to the 21st century , easily accessible to a wide audience, thus creating a virtual library. The site mainly includes …

Abstract Today, no one could claim to have read everything. However, there was a time when such a claim was still possible, just after the invention of printing. The lecture reviews a few examples of these humanist dreams of perfect libraries: Conrad …

Abstract Biodiversity research is driven, on the one hand, by the desire to know more about the organisms with which we share our planet, but also by the need to understand how ecosystems function, so as to be able to use them and predict how they will …

In 1905, aged eighty, Oppert died. His last years, darkened by near-blindness, had been marked by his bitterness towards the younger Assyriologists, with the exception of Charles Fossey, who had all his favors. His succession was opened at the Faculty …

Over the last ten years, advances in paleogenomics have given new impetus to the history of the Black Death, not only through the answers they provide, but above all through the new questions they open up. By attempting to understand the epistemological …

Abstract In low dimensions, nonlinear approximation is generally based on the existence of local regularities. The lecture shows that wavelet bases play a special role, as they allow us to obtain near-optimal approximations of functions that are locally …

Résumé Le phénomène de concentration de la mesure consiste en ce qu’une somme de nombreuses petites quantités aléatoires suffisamment indépendantes a de grandes chances d’être proche de sa moyenne. Ce phénomène permet de prouver de nombreux résultats pour …
