Study by light-trap of the seasonal abundance of the forest insects in French Guyana. This study was part of a general investigation on the relationships between the frugivore-insectivore vertebrate communities and their environment (old secundary forest). Light-traps w...

Juniperus excelsa is the second most widespread conifer tree in Lebanon. It grows in sites where no other conifer can survive. Despite its high ecological value, until now no field study was made in order to characterize these woodlands in Lebanon. We gathered data on t...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is an ideal observation tool for small scales robotics. It has the potential to achieve automated nano-robotic tasks such as nano-handling and nano-assembly. Path following control of nano-robot end effectors using SEM vision feedback ...

International audience; Sensory feedback from touch is critical for many tasks carried out by robots and humans, such as grasping objects or identifying materials. Electronic skin (e-skin) is a crucial technology for these purposes. Artificial tactile skin that can play...

National audience; Le terme « cascade de l’azote » désigne l’ensemble des transferts successifs des formes réactives de cet élément depuis leur introduction dans l’environnement par l’activité humaine jusqu’à leur retour par dénitrification dans le réservoir de di-azote...

International audience; This paper proposes a new control-oriented model to compute the magnetic field created by a coil. A major challenge for untethered microscale mobile robotics is the control of objects for precise and fast displacements. In this work, we propose t...

International audience; Rainfall forecasting is a major issue for anticipating severe meteorological events and for agriculture management. Weather radar imaging has been identified in the literature as the best way to measure rainfall on a large domain, with a fine spa...

International audience; Climate change directly threatens food security in West Africa through a negative impact on productivity of the main staple food crops. However, providing consistent future crop yield projections in the region remain challenging because of uncert...

International audience; Up to now, all attempts to retrieve martian water vapor from nadir observations have focused their analysis on a single spectral domain and comparison between the results of various experiments showed the difficulty to reconcile the water vapor d...
