Jamais les fonctions de pollinisation (déterritorialisation et reterritorialisation) de la traduction n’ont été plus importantes qu’aujourd’hui. Comment peut-on utiliser les technologies de l’information et de la communication au service de la traduction des textes cult...

International audience; This paper formulates a joint redundancy and imperfect preventive maintenance planning optimization model for series–parallel multi-state degraded systems. Non identical multi-state components can be used in parallel to improve the system availab...

Purpose Peripheral vision (PV) or side vision refers to that which is visible to the eye while being outside of its central area of focus. PV enables organisms to detect movement and potential threats in their environment. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to ...

Abstract Healthcare projects with apparent productivity gaps require all available IT innovation mechanisms. The objective of this study is to investigate the predictors of the development of IT innovation mechanisms to improving healthcare business. This includes the u...

Unit-cell based finite element models are developed to completely characterize the role of porosity distribution and porosity volume fraction in determining the elastic, dielectric and piezoelectric properties as well as relevant figures of merit of 3-3 type piezoelectr...

In production planning, there can be situations where the ability to meet customer demands is constrained by inventory capacity rather than production capacity. This situation often happens in petrochemical manufacturing, food processing, and glass manufacturing. Only a...

A new kind of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) system is proposed to support the integration and collaboration in Concurrent Engineering (CE). The kernel of the system is the Co-operative Design Modeller (CoDeMo), which supports the multiple-views knowledge integration in th...

We pursue the technique of "holes" to study the retracts of an ordered set. This is applied to establish a close connection between the class of absolute retracts and the class of dismantlable ordered sets.

Extensive extractions of natural resources such as metals led to degraded landscapes oftentimes inhospitable to plants and other organisms. Conversion of such unhealthy environments to productive ecosystem requires the formation of soils. This paper reports on our effor...

International audience; Although the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road has been steadily increasing in the last few years, the problems of autonomy and limited driving range of EVs still represent a big challenge for automotive industry. In this paper, we fi...
