Designing collaborative software for mobile ad hoc networks presents news challenges : in a MANEt, devices are mobile, resources are scarce and because of an absence of infrastructure, everything is decentralized. Therefore, algorithms for collaborative application on wired networks cannot be used as is, and new algorithms, adapted to MANet, have to be defined. This thesis proposes a set of alg...

La fièvre aphteuse (FA) est une maladie virale transfrontalière hautement contagieuse qui affecte les mammifères artiodactyles.

Parasitological analysis of 5 sediment samples from latrine deposits spanning the time period from about 1880 to the 1930s are presented. Two sediment samples are from a latrine used by EuropeanAmericans.

Monagrillo (3520–1300 cal BC) is Panama’s oldest pottery. Archaeologists assumed it was a low-fired expedient ware made with any available clay. We studied 1) clay sources (thin sections; DTA; shrinkage, porosity, and plasticity tests), 2) manufacturing techniques (xeroradiography; thin sections; visual inspection), and 3) firing temperature (SEM-EDS; porosity tests). We identified two clay typ...

Its origins, along with IPBES conceptual framework in which it embedded, transdisciplinary, action-oriented, inclusive also embraces pluralism. NCP provides both generalizing context-specific perspectives...
