The purpose of the thesis is to fill a gap in the publications about Viollet-le-Duc, outlining his profile as an architect through a chronological study of his projects, whether built or not, of his theoretic writings and, when useful, of his restoration w ...
Neuroscientific theories aim to explain paradigm cases of consciousness such as masking, binocular rivalry or the transition from dreamless sleep to wakefulness. The most popular theories are based on computational principles. Recurrent processing is a key ...
The formation pathway of biominerals archetypes, namely calcium carbonate (CaC) and calcium phosphates (CaPs), was investigated using a multidisciplinary approach.
The time-resolved analytical data were collected using a controlled-composition method and i ...
In a recent article M. Colyvan has argued that Quinean forms of scientific realism are faced with an unexpected upshot. Realism concerning a given class of entities, along with this route to realism, can be vindicated by running an indispensability argumen ...
With the progress made in miniaturizing systems over the last decades, understanding materialsâ behavior at small scales has become a necessity.
In this context, glass behavior has remained largely unknown, partly for technological reasons and partly due ...
Mathematical models, along with scientific theory and practical experiments, are a crucial part of modern engineering and science. The author takes a look at the role mathematical models play in topics ranging from vascular simulation to weather forecastin ...
This article presents a mapping method that seeks to provide urban planning with a general overview of the underground resources of an urban area. Resource potentials (for buildable space, groundwater or geomaterial extraction and geothermal energy) tend t ...
This paper describes the techniques and physical parameters used to produce stable centimetric water drops in microgravity, and to study single cavitation bubbles inside such drops (Parabolic Flight Campaigns, European Space Agency ESA). While the main sci ...
