Constitutionnalisme et exclusion : critique du regard français sur le modÚle canadien de pluralisme
La recherche vise Ă mettre en Ă©vidence les relations entre constitutionnalisme et exclusion dans le cadre dâunecritique du regard français sur le modĂšle canadien de pluralisme. La problĂ©matique de lâexclusion, ĂȘtre altĂ©risĂ©en raison de lâidentitĂ© du droit, naĂźt des silences de la comparaison diffĂ©rentielle France â Canada. Une critiqueidentitaire permet de dĂ©placer la triple dialectique de la comparaison : positivisme c. pluralisme, universalisme c.diffĂ©rentialisme et rĂ©publicanisme c. libĂ©ralisme pluraliste. La problĂ©matique de lâorientation identitaire du droitest commune aux deux systĂšmes juridiques. Aussi, la recherche est relative Ă lâidentitĂ© du constitutionnalisme.Lâexclusion se dĂ©finit comme le dĂ©calage entre lâorientation identitaire du constitutionnalisme et lâidentitĂ© ducorps du sujet. La mĂ©thode dâanalyse proposĂ©e, afin de traiter de lâexclusion en droit, et dĂ©placer la comparaison,est tripartite : mettre en Ă©vidence lâorientation identitaire du constitutionnalisme, en identifier la structureidentitaire, pour, enfin, en dĂ©terminer les Ă©trangers ou « Autres. » La recherche vise Ă dĂ©placer la comparaison enproduisant une phĂ©nomĂ©nologie de lâexclusion constitutionnelle, ou « dehors constitutifs, » avec une typologiedes Ă©trangers du droit. La dĂ©monstration sera faite dans le cadre des conflits de la religion et de lâorientationsexuelle dĂ©montrant lâorientation blanche, hĂ©tĂ©ropatriarcale et hĂ©tĂ©ronormative du droit constitutionnel.This research intends on proving how constitutionalism and exclusion collide one against the other trhough a critique of the french gaze on a supposedly canadian model of pluralism. This negative comparison's silencesbetween France and Canada gave birth to this question of how one is being excluded and othered based on the identity of constitutional law. This critique, that focuses on identities, is shifting those three dialectics supporting the aforementioned negative comparison: positivism v. pluralism; universalism v. differentialism; republicanism v. liberal pluralism. France and Canada share this issue of how reality is oriented towards specific identities. This research is, then, a critique of constitutional identities. Exclusion is defined as the gap between the orientation of law's identitiesnd the bodily reality of its subjects.The analytical tool developed here to tackle exclusionin law has three steps:shedding lighton the orientations of constitutionalism, its identity structure, and its constitutional Others.The research purports on turning shcolars' critical gazetowards this phenomenology of constitutional exclusion, its "constitutive outside," by deciphering a typologyof constitutional Others. Thiw will be through the collisions of freedom of religionand sexual orientation. Constitutionalism is per se oriented towardshe ascendency of whiteness, patriarcalism and heteronormativity
Etude péridynamique de la rupture de particules sous impact
La réduction en poudre des matériaux, ou comminution, est un procédé omniprésent dans divers secteurs industriels. La maßtrise de la distribution des tailles de particules est un enjeu déterminant pour garantir les qualités d'usage des produits. Dans cette étude on s'intéressera plus particuliÚrement à la modélisation numérique de la fragmentation de particules individuelles 2D soumises à des impacts à différentes énergies. La mécanique de la rupture de ces particules est étudiée à l'aide d'une approche péridynamique. La propagation des fissures est étudiée ainsi que l'appartion de fragments. Enfin, la statistique des tailles de fragments est obtenue sur une collection de particules broyées à partir d'une analyse d'images basée sur un algorithme de type floodfill
Orientational order of carbon nanotube guests in a nematic host suspension of colloidal viral rods
In order to investigate the coupling between the degrees of alignment of
elongated particles in binary nematic dispersions, surfactant stabilized
single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been added to nematic suspensions of
colloidal rodlike viruses in aqueous solution.We have independently measured
the orientational order parameter of both components of the guest-host system
by means of polarized Raman spectroscopy and by optical birefringence,
respectively. Our system allows us therefore to probe the regime where the
guest particles (CNTs) are shorter and thinner than the fd virus host
particles. We show that the degree of order of the CNTs is systematically
smaller than that of the fd virus particles for the whole nematic range. These
measurements are in good agreement with predictions of an Onsager-type
second-viral theory, which explicitly includes the flexibility of the virus
particles, and the polydispersity of the CNTs.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Fractal properties of the frontier in Poissonian coloring
We study a model of random partitioning by nearest-neighbor coloring from
Poisson rain, introduced independently by Aldous and Preater. Given two initial
points in respectively colored in red and blue, we let independent
uniformly random points fall in , and upon arrival, each point takes
the color of the nearest point fallen so far. We prove that the colored regions
converge in the Hausdorff sense towards two random closed subsets whose
intersection, the frontier, has Hausdorff dimension strictly between
and , thus answering a conjecture raised by Aldous. However, several
topological properties of the frontier remain elusive.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figures. Comments welcome

Crowdsourcing the georeferencing of historical pictures
Countless organizations own archive pictures which are not used due to the difficulty of localizing them. Only the participation of volunteers can help to identify the image content. Through an accessible web interface called smapshot, citizens are able to georeference historical images without any prior specific competence. To avoid the volunteers to face the complexity of 3D digitization and navigation, we implemented a state of the art photogrammetry camera orientation algorithm in the platform. Currently several thousand images from all around Switzerland have been georeferenced by the crowd. At this time the tool is mainly used by the population for the visualization experience and the nostalgia behind it. The ambition is to support scientists to analyze landscape evolution
Artificial Gene Regulatory Network and Spatial Computation: A Case Study
International audienceThis paper explores temporal and spatial dynamics of a population of Genetic Regulatory Networks (GRN). In order to so, a GRN model is spatially distributed to solve a multi-cellular ArtiïŹcial Embryogeny problem, and Evolutionary Computation is used to optimize the developmental sequences. An in-depth analysis is provided and show that such a population of GRN display strong spatial synchronization as well as various kind of behavioral patterns, ranging from smooth diffusion to abrupt transition patterns
