Femmes prises, femmes désirantes dans l’oeuvre d’Anne Hébert

Cet article porte sur la représentation de la sexualité dans l’oeuvre d’Anne Hébert; plus précisément, sur la matérialité des échanges sexuels. En prenant comme élément central le motif de la « désirance » des personnages féminins, l’analyse permet d’isoler quatre cas de figures : les femmes prises, violées; les femmes désirantes auxquelles est imposé un rapport violent; les femmes désirantes dont le désir n’est pas reconnu et, enfin, les femmes désirantes qui rencontrent un homme tout aussi désirant. Au final, cette lecture, qui s’appuie aussi bien sur la sociologie de la sexualité, la notion de genre et des rapports sociaux de sexe que sur la notion d’intersubjectivité, permet de revisiter certaines interprétations critiques sur la sexualité des femmes chez Hébert – notamment en regard de leur agentivité sexuelle

Theory of weakly damped free-surface flows: a new formulation based on potential flow solutions

Several theories for weakly damped free-surface flows have been formulated. In this paper we use the linear approximation to the Navier-Stokes equations to derive a new set of equations for potential flow which include dissipation due to viscosity. A viscous correction is added not only to the irrotational pressure (Bernoulli's equation), but also to the kinematic boundary condition. The nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation that one can derive from the new set of equations to describe the modulations of weakly nonlinear, weakly damped deep-water gravity waves turns out to be the classical damped version of the NLS equation that has been used by many authors without rigorous justification

Stabilization of an arbitrary profile for an ensemble of half-spin systems

We consider the feedback stabilization of a variable profile for an ensemble of non interacting half spins described by the Bloch equations. We propose an explicit feedback law that stabilizes asymptotically the system around a given arbitrary target profile. The convergence proof is done when the target profile is entirely in the south hemisphere or in the north hemisphere of the Bloch sphere. The convergence holds for initial conditions in a H^1 neighborhood of this target profile. This convergence is shown for the weak H^1 topology. The proof relies on an adaptation of the LaSalle invariance principle to infinite dimensional systems. Numerical simulations illustrate the efficiency of these feedback laws, even for initial conditions far from the target profile.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Visco-potential free-surface flows and long wave modelling

In a recent study [DutykhDias2007] we presented a novel visco-potential free surface flows formulation. The governing equations contain local and nonlocal dissipative terms. From physical point of view, local dissipation terms come from molecular viscosity but in practical computations, rather eddy viscosity should be used. On the other hand, nonlocal dissipative term represents a correction due to the presence of a bottom boundary layer. Using the standard procedure of Boussinesq equations derivation, we come to nonlocal long wave equations. In this article we analyse dispersion relation properties of proposed models. The effect of nonlocal term on solitary and linear progressive waves attenuation is investigated. Finally, we present some computations with viscous Boussinesq equations solved by a Fourier type spectral method.Comment: 29 pages, 13 figures. Some figures were updated.

MusA: Using Indoor Positioning and Navigation to Enhance Cultural Experiences in a museum

In recent years there has been a growing interest into the use of multimedia mobile guides in museum environments. Mobile devices have the capabilities to detect the user context and to provide pieces of information suitable to help visitors discovering and following the logical and emotional connections that develop during the visit. In this scenario, location based services (LBS) currently represent an asset, and the choice of the technology to determine users' position, combined with the definition of methods that can effectively convey information, become key issues in the design process. In this work, we present MusA (Museum Assistant), a general framework for the development of multimedia interactive guides for mobile devices. Its main feature is a vision-based indoor positioning system that allows the provision of several LBS, from way-finding to the contextualized communication of cultural contents, aimed at providing a meaningful exploration of exhibits according to visitors' personal interest and curiosity. Starting from the thorough description of the system architecture, the article presents the implementation of two mobile guides, developed to respectively address adults and children, and discusses the evaluation of the user experience and the visitors' appreciation of these application
