Unparalleled properties-those of hidden ground states-are being unleashed by exploiting large strains in concert with the ability to precisely control dimensionality and stabilize metastable phases in epitaxial oxide heterostructures. For example, …

With the study of Peter Lewis's very large house in Lindhurst, Ohio, which occupied him for almost five years, and the problems encountered in the construction of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, for which the project was launched in 1987, …

The starting point for this conference is a relatively simple question: how can we move from the injunction to innovate to an effective capacity to innovate? To answer this question, Joelle Forest proposes to consider the relationship between innovation …

We'll illustrate the wealth of approaches, from basic research to invention and innovation. We'll try to explain the role of market needs and the contribution of science and technology. Drawing on personal experiences (Leonardo da Vinci, Steve Jobs, …

The civil law tradition (of Romanist inspiration) remained marginal in the history of English law. The professional "niches" for university-educated lawyers were restricted: neither in the upper echelons of government, nor in the main courts of justice, …

The earliest Coptic texts are literary, with just one exception, a private letter found at Kellis (Dakhla oasis) - a singular document that is, for the time being, an oddity. This late 3rd or early 4th century document has been variously interpreted as …

Abstract The aim of this paper was to illustrate the growing influence of literature on artistic production during the 12th century, through the presence of poetic inscriptions and the representation of famous literary episodes. Shāhnāme occupies a …

The previous lecture considered surfaces in 3-dimensional space, but it is useful to triangulate surfaces immersed in higher-dimensional spaces. Spaces with dimensions greater than 3 are naturally encountered when we're interested in dynamic systems and …

Knowledge of ancient Greek is required for the seminar. …

Abstract This seminar has been devoted to the presentation of a possible way to make usual quantum mechanics fully compatible with physical realism, defined as the statement that the goal of physics is to study entities of the natural world, existing …

Abstract Starting with this lecture, we turned our attention to the case of an interacting gas. This lesson was devoted to the low-temperature regime, for which the state of the gas can be described as a "quasi-condensate", i.e. a condensate with a …
