Abstract Over the past 8,000 years, Southwest Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean have seen the rise of cities, states and empires. Climate fluctuations are generally considered to be a significant factor in these changes because in pre-industrial …

Abstract The concept of resilience has rapidly gained remarkable importance in socio-ecological systems theory. The word resilience appears thousands of times in the latest IPCC assessment report. A historical perspective can help us understand its …

Abstract Since Babbage and Lovelace's analytical machine, the machine language executed by processors has typically consisted of a succession of instructions in sequence. But efficient implementation in hardware requires instructions to be executed in …

Abstract In contrast to classical imperative programming, declarative programming is concerned with describing the expected results of a program, without making explicit the sequence of elementary computational steps that produce these results. Do we …

Abstract What are the difficulties in gaining acceptance for and actually implementing environmental protection policies ? And more generally, how do you regulate businesses in relatively weak …

Abstract In this presentation, we will discuss opportunities for accelerating the simulation of physical systems at equilibrium with machine learning. These methods rely heavily on deep generative models, which are highly flexible probabilistic models …

We are now focusing on parametric models that admit a Gibbs energy. The aim is to estimate the parameters that best approximate the distribution of the training base samples. The distribution to be estimated is approximated by a distribution with a …

Abstract In 1187, Richard the Lionheart and Philip Augustus expressed their joy at finding each other with such spectacular displays of affection that King Henry   II declared himself "   deeply astonished by the vehement love that existed between them, …

Abstract The dialogue between Plato and Aristotle is important for knowing how to read. It is against this backdrop that we need to understand, for example, sensitivity reading and the debates it provokes, a type of reading that corresponds less to a new …

Abstract Globular clusters are systems made up of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of stars, held together by gravity. Long considered very simple systems, made up of stars of the same age and with the same chemical properties, they now reveal a …

Abstract Stars form in clusters. The most common star clusters form in the discs of galaxies; they are young, not very concentrated and open. They dilute and break up rapidly. Globular clusters, on the other hand, are much richer, more concentrated and …

Abstract We will discuss the biophysical regulation of cell proliferation under spatial confinement, and the key role macromolecular crowding plays in modulating biogenesis under mechanical …

Abstract " Men are born and remain free and equal in rights ". Could there be a more universal formulation of modern values ? The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted by the French National Assembly on August 26   1789 , is …

Abstract When experimentally confronted with discrimination or recall tasks, non-human primates and pre-language children are able to assess whether they are likely to give a correct answer before responding. They can also modulate their decision …

Abstract In the Aristotelian tradition, the content of a judgment involves two   terms: what is being talked about (the subject) and what is being said about it (the predicate). The act of attributing the predicate to the subject is what guarantees the …
