We explore the possibility that Z ′ couplings can be probed using decay modes which involve neutrinos once Standard Model backgrounds are directly determined by the data itself. For some models, sufficient statistics are available at either the SSC or LHC to render these modes useful for coupling determina-tions, provided the mass of the Z ′ is not much larger than 1 TeV, if we assume other new...

Résumé. Cet article se place dans le cadre du subspace clustering, dont la problématique est double : identifier simultanément les clusters et le sousespace spécifique dans lequel chacun est défini, et caractériser chaque cluster par un nombre minimal de dimensions, permettant ainsi une présentation des résultats compréhensible par un expert du domaine d’application. Les méthodes proposées jusq...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease that is characterized by tissue fibrosis, microvasculopathy, and autoimmunity. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common complication of SSc and is one of the frequent causes of mortality in SSc. Although the exact etiology of SSc remains unknown, clinical and experimental investigations have suggested that genetic and environmental fact...

Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC) has been used extensively for subspace iden-tification tasks due to its theoretical guarantees and relative ease of implemen-tation. However SSC has quadratic computation and memory requirementswith respect to the number of input data points. This burden has prohibitedSSCs use for all but the smallest datasets. To overcome this we propose a n...

OBJECTIVE SSc is characterized by microvascular abnormalities and leucocyte infiltration. Previous studies have suggested a proadhesive phenotype in SSc skin, but the functional consequences of this phenotype are not fully understood. Molecules known to mediate leucocyte adhesion include those present at intracellular junctions, such as junctional adhesion molecule-B (JAM-B), JAM-C and CD99, as...
