International audience; Poplar (Populus) species can relatively accumulate high concentrations of heavy metals such as cadmium and zinc in their aboveground tissues. Cd accumulation in poplar is 30 times higher as compared to other woody species. Zn concentrations in le...

Background This work aimed at characterizing 12 isolates of the genus Tuber including Tuber melanosporum (11 isolates) and Tuber brumale (one isolate). This was done using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, confirming their origin. Results Analysis of their ma...

International audience; To the Editor:The Aicardi–Goutières syndrome is a genetic encephalopathy that is associated with childhood illness and death. The syndrome is hypothesized to be due to misidentification of self-derived nucleic acids as nonself and the subsequent ...

This work studies the linear approximation of high-dimensional dynamical systems using low-rank dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). Searching this approximation in a data-driven approach can be formalised as attempting to solve a low-rank constrained optimisation problem....

Tandis que les zones de montagne moins peuplées apportent les ressources en eau qui permettent aux plaines de prospérer, les habitants des zones montagneuses continuent à souffrir de pauvreté, de faibles productivités agricoles accompagnées de dégradation environnementa...

Development of new systems for disabled and elderly people’s assistance requires a multidisciplinary approach based on new technologies according to users’ needs. Intelligent wheelchairs can help this category of people to live more independently. The purpose of this pa...

Crop growth simulation models can differ greatly in their treatment of key processes and hence in their response to environmental conditions. Here, we used an ensemble of 26 process-based wheat models applied at sites across a European transect to compare their sensitiv...

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>Population genetics have been greatly beneficial to improve knowledge about biological invasions. Model-based genetic inference methods, such as approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), have brought this improvement to a higher le...

In an increasingly complex scenario for network management, a solution that allows configuration in more autonomous way with less intervention of the network manager is expected. This paper presents an evaluation of similarity functions that are necessary in the context...
