Dynamic Multilevel Methods and the Numerical Simulation of Turbulence

By: Thierry Dubois,François Jauberteau,Roger Temam

This book describes the implementation of multilevel methods in a dynamical context, with application to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. The general ideas for the algorithms presented stem from dynamical systems theory and are based on the decomposition of the unknown function into two or more arrays corresponding to different scales in the Fourier space. This timely monograph should appeal to graduate students and researchers alike, providing a background for applied mathematicians as well as engineers.

Evaluation and Decision Models

A Critical Perspective

By: Denis Bouyssou,Thierry Marchant,Marc Pirlot,Patrice Perny,Alexis Tsoukias,P. Vincke

1. 1 Motivations Deciding is a very complex and difficult task. Some people even argue that our ability to make decisions in complex situations is the main feature that distinguishes us from animals (it is also common to say that laughing is the main difference). Nevertheless, when the task is too complex or the interests at stake are too important, it quite often happens that we do not know or we are not sure what to decide and, in many instances, we resort to a decision support technique: an informal one-we toss a coin, we ask an oracle, we visit an astrologer, we consult an expert, we think-or a formal one. Although informal decision support techniques can be of interest, in this book, we will focus on formal ones. Among the latter, we find some well-known decision support techniques: cost-benefit analysis, multiple criteria decision analysis, decision trees, . . . But there are many other ones, sometimes not presented as decision support techniques, that help making decisions. Let us cite but a few examples. • When the director of a school must decide whether a given student will pass or fail, he usually asks each teacher to assess the merits of the student by means of a grade. The director then sums the grades and compares the result to a threshold. • When a bank must decide whether a given client will obtain a credit or not, a technique, called credit scoring, is often used.

Evaluation and Decision Models with Multiple Criteria

Stepping stones for the analyst

By: Denis Bouyssou,Thierry Marchant,Marc Pirlot,Alexis Tsoukias,Philippe Vincke

Formal decision and evaluation models are so widespread that almost no one can pretend not to have used or suffered the consequences of one of them. This book is a guide aimed at helping the analyst to choose a model and use it consistently. A sound analysis of techniques is proposed and the presentation can be extended to most decision and evaluation models as a "decision aiding methodology".

The Insanity of the Artist

Creating at the Edge of the Abyss - Essais - documents

By: Thierry Delcourt

Salvador Dalí sublimated his madness without ever falling into it. Antonin Artaud, confronted with the traumas of childhood, oscillated all his life between an overflowing creation and accesses of madness. Niki de Saint Phalle, thanks to artistic expression, cured herself of a deep depression linked to the trauma of incest. Vincent van Gogh, in order to reach the summit of his art, put himself in danger to the point of committing suicide. Camille Claudel exhausted herself in her creation and ended up being interned and never creating again. Based on the life and work of a dozen artists of genius, Thierry Delcourt tries to understand these artists’ transition from the summits of creation and the artistic abyss. Why do some people fall into madness while others go through life without a hitch? Why do some sick people find healing through creation? Why do many artists have an obsessive need to create relentlessly? To these fascinating questions, this book offers striking answers about creation on the brink of the abyss. Thierry Delcourt, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, editor-in-chief of the journal Psychiatries, has written Je suis ado et j'appelle mon psychanalyste (Max Milo, 2016) and La fabrique des enfants anormaux (Max Milo, 2021).

Satellite and Terrestrial Hybrid Networks

By: Pascal Berthou,Cédric Baudoin,Thierry Gayraud,Matthieu Gineste

This book offers the reader the keys for a successful understanding, integration and usage of satellite systems in addition to next generation terrestrial networks. The DVB-S2/RCS system is used to illustrate the integration challenges. The presentation uses a system approach, i.e. it tackles the terrestrial and satellite telecommunication systems’ complexity with a high level approach, focusing on the systems’ components and on their interactions. Several scenarios present the different paths that can be followed for the integration of satellite systems in terrestrial networks. Quality of Service management techniques in terrestrial and satellite systems and the solutions to help them to interoperate are provided. Inter-system mobility solutions and performance problems are then addressed. The solutions proposed in this book have been developed within the framework of European and French funded research projects and tested with simulated or real testbeds.

Violence and the Civilising Process in Cambodia

Violence and the Civilising Process in Cambodia

By: Roderic Broadhurst,Thierry Bouhours,Brigitte Bouhours

In 1939, the German sociologist Norbert Elias published his groundbreaking work The Civilizing Process, which has come to be regarded as one of the most influential works of sociology today. In this insightful new study tracing the history of violence in Cambodia, the authors evaluate the extent to which Elias's theories can be applied in a non-Western context. Drawing from historical and contemporary archival sources, constabulary statistics, victim surveys and newspaper reports, Broadhurst, Bouhours and Bouhours chart trends and forms of violence throughout Cambodia from the mid-nineteenth century through to the present day. Analysing periods of colonisation, anti-colonial wars, interdependence, civil war, the revolutionary terror of the 1970s and post-conflict development, the authors assess whether violence has decreased and whether such a decline can be attributed to Elias's civilising process, identifying a series of universal factors that have historically reduced violence.

The World of André Le Nôtre

But as Thierry Mariage makes clear in this detailed and lucid book, the garden style that Le Notre brought to perfection need not be seen in opposition to the later "English" one; rather, he claims, they represent two points along a continuum that exists between the natural and cultural worlds.

Electrohydraulic Fracturing of Rocks

By: Christian La Borderie,Thierry Reess,Wen Chen,Olivier Maurel,Franck Rey-Berbeder,Antoine de Ferron

This book presents a new fracturing technique that should be considered as a potential alternative, or a companion technique, to hydraulic fracturing of tight gas reservoirs and low permeability rock masses. As opposed to hydraulic fracturing which generates a few numbers of large cracks, electro-hydraulic fracturing induces diffuse micro-cracking and fragmentation of rocks. Laboratory tests demonstrate that increases of permeability by two orders of magnitude can be reached, without major cracking in tested specimens. This book discusses the principles of this new technique, reports experiments which have been developed is order to prove the concept and finally describes the numerical model from which the potentialities of this technique in representative reservoir conditions can be assessed.

The Analytical Process

Journeys and Pathways

By: Thierry Bokanowski

The term 'psychoanalytical process', though occurring but rarely in Freud's works, has become firmly established nowadays despite being hard to define, explain, or pin down in conceptual or meta-psychological terms. Although it is often employed as equivalent to 'psychoanalytic work', currents of thought that draw on the idea display a certain ambivalence, for it can relate both to a theory of treatment (the practice of analysis) and to a theory of mind (a theory of psychic functioning). Before developing his own original perspectives about the consequences of the heterogeneity of psychic functioning, the author examines how various practitioners have approached this subject since Freud. He shows how each has shed useful new light on this issue, leading to a diversity of points of view, thereby justifying the idea of the 'process' within psychoanalytic treatment.

Silence on tue

By: André Glucksmann,Thierry Wolton

Un gouvernement prend son peuple en otage, l'affame, inonde le monde de photos terribles et réclame de l'argent. L'opinion publique mondiale a réagi immédiatement, avec générosité, bravo ! Mais aussi avec aveuglement. André Glucksmann et Thierry Wolton révèlent les dessous de la plus grande opération d'aide et de charité qu'ait connue l'histoire humaine. Comment la dictature éthiopienne a laissé venir la famine, comment elle organisa et mit en scène l'information et pourquoi les institutions internationales, parfaitement au courant, couvrent les scandales et les crimes des autorités communistes locales. Informations, émotions, mobilisations, c'est sur le petit écran que se noue notre rapport à l'autre : un milliard cinq cents millions de Terriens ont regardé en même temps et les terribles images de la famine et la retransmission du plus grand concert pop et charitable. André Glucksmann et Thierry Wolton essaient de définir le principe d'une morale de l'extrême urgence qui fonde la nouvelle solidarité électronique. Dans la guerre des images, les démocraties sont en retard ; elles subissent les mises en scène terroristes sans interroger la stratégie qui les prémédite. L'URSS a pris de l'avance en Afrique, elle fournit les munitions, tandis que l'Occident livre le blé. L'Afrique rouge est bien partie.
