    L’objectif principal de cette Ă©tude est d’amener des rĂ©ponses concrĂštes Ă  la question de recherche « comment valoriser Ă  long terme les cinĂ©mas de Sierre afin d’attirer et de fidĂ©liser un public plus nombreux et d’atteindre les objectifs de rentabilitĂ© ?», dans le but de maintenir une politique culturelle pour la Ville de Sierre et d’assurer la pĂ©rennitĂ© des cinĂ©mas de la ville. Une des solutions envisagĂ©es est la fidĂ©lisation de la clientĂšle au travers divers Ă©vĂ©nements mis en place par l’association Ecran Total nouvellement crĂ©e (2013). Pour rĂ©aliser cette Ă©tude, trois axes analyses ont Ă©tĂ© choisis. PremiĂšrement, une analyse de marchĂ© a Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©e afin de dĂ©peindre la situation dans laquelle le marchĂ© du cinĂ©ma Ă©volue et d’observer les Ă©ventuelles menaces. Puis, une analyse concurrentielle de marchĂ© a permis d’entrevoir les stratĂ©gies des cinĂ©mas romands ainsi que celles des cinĂ©mas en dehors de la Suisse, concernant les animations et les Ă©vĂ©nements organisĂ©s afin d’affiner le business modĂšle des cinĂ©mas sierrois. Pour finir, des entretiens qualitatifs ont Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©s avec les diffĂ©rents acteurs, internes et externes, des cinĂ©mas sierrois, afin de positionner ces derniers par rapport aux autres cinĂ©mas. Les rĂ©sultats de cette Ă©tude ont permis de comprendre quelle Ă©tait la situation actuelle des cinĂ©mas sierrois et quelles pourraient ĂȘtre les pistes d’amĂ©lioration envisageables afin d’attirer et de fidĂ©liser la clientĂšle. De ces rĂ©sultats, un plan de communication comprenant diverses suggestions de scĂ©narii d’évĂ©nements a pu ĂȘtre dĂ©crit. L’association Ecran Total est libre de s’en inspirer afin de proposer un ou plusieurs nouveaux Ă©vĂ©nements dans les salles sierroises

    21-cm cosmology

    Imaging the Universe during the first hundreds of millions of years remains one of the exciting challenges facing modern cosmology. Observations of the redshifted 21 cm line of atomic hydrogen offer the potential of opening a new window into this epoch. This would transform our understanding of the formation of the first stars and galaxies and of the thermal history of the Universe. A new generation of radio telescopes is being constructed for this purpose with the first results starting to trickle in. In this review, we detail the physics that governs the 21 cm signal and describe what might be learnt from upcoming observations. We also generalize our discussion to intensity mapping of other atomic and molecular lines.Comment: 64 pages, 20 figures, submitted to Reports on Progress in Physics, comments welcom

    Detecting the 21 cm Forest in the 21 cm Power Spectrum

    We describe a new technique for constraining the radio loud population of active galactic nuclei at high redshift by measuring the imprint of 21 cm spectral absorption features (the 21 cm forest) on the 21 cm power spectrum. Using semi-numerical simulations of the intergalactic medium and a semi-empirical source population we show that the 21 cm forest dominates a distinctive region of kk-space, k≳0.5Mpc−1k \gtrsim 0.5 \text{Mpc}^{-1}. By simulating foregrounds and noise for current and potential radio arrays, we find that a next generation instrument with a collecting area on the order of ∌0.1km2\sim 0.1\text{km}^2 (such as the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array) may separately constrain the X-ray heating history at large spatial scales and radio loud active galactic nuclei of the model we study at small ones. We extrapolate our detectability predictions for a single radio loud active galactic nuclei population to arbitrary source scenarios by analytically relating the 21 cm forest power spectrum to the optical depth power spectrum and an integral over the radio luminosity function.Comment: 20 pages, 17 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA

    Accelerating the CM method

    Full text link
    Given a prime q and a negative discriminant D, the CM method constructs an elliptic curve E/\Fq by obtaining a root of the Hilbert class polynomial H_D(X) modulo q. We consider an approach based on a decomposition of the ring class field defined by H_D, which we adapt to a CRT setting. This yields two algorithms, each of which obtains a root of H_D mod q without necessarily computing any of its coefficients. Heuristically, our approach uses asymptotically less time and space than the standard CM method for almost all D. Under the GRH, and reasonable assumptions about the size of log q relative to |D|, we achieve a space complexity of O((m+n)log q) bits, where mn=h(D), which may be as small as O(|D|^(1/4)log q). The practical efficiency of the algorithms is demonstrated using |D| > 10^16 and q ~ 2^256, and also |D| > 10^15 and q ~ 2^33220. These examples are both an order of magnitude larger than the best previous results obtained with the CM method.Comment: 36 pages, minor edits, to appear in the LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematic
