Full textMalaria remains the leading cause of death among parasitic infections worldwide. Currently, there are major concerns about the spread of resistance to artemisinin derivatives that are the basis of first-line antimalarial treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new antiplasmodial molecules with a novel mechanism of action. For this purpose, our laboratory has previously described the synthesis and biological activities of a chemical library of α-trichloromethylated azaheterocycles including a hit molecule in the quinazoline series which presents the best biological profile.The first part of this work focused on 4-carboxamide quinazoline pharmacomodulation. In order to complete the SARs, scaffold hopping strategies allowed us to obtain new compounds in the quinoxaline and phthalazine series. By structural simplification, new compounds in the pyrimidine, pyridazine and pyrazine series were obtained. Finally, in order to explore the benzene part of the quinazoline and quinoxaline rings, new thienopyrimidine and pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine derivatives were also synthesized. More than 110 new original molecules were obtained, among them several new hit molecules were obtained. The physicochemical and in vitro pharmacokinetic properties were determined in order to initiate the study of their in vivo activity on Plasmodium berghei. In addition, in order to elucidate the mechanism of action of these compounds, which differs from those of commercial antimalarials, we have recently identified by immunofluorescence that these molecules target the apicoplast of P. falciparum, an organelle essential to parasite survival

Full textThe aim of this work is to demonstrate the applicability of innovative materials, such as Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) industrialized components (profiles), structural adhesives, for the realization of curtain walls with high mechanical and thermal performances and low environmental impact. This objective with the “Technological Simplification” principle is verified. This latter is the guiding principle to the base of the search and experimental tests carried out by the research group. The teamwork coordinator and patent inventor is Prof P.Munafò, with him I developed a “System for the realization of building façade” (n. 102015000087569). The “Technological Simplification” principle allows the building components realization with high performance and easy to assemble, by using a limited number of pieces. All this involves lower energy consumption in the production, assembly, maintenance and disposal phases. For this reason, the construction element can be considered environmentally sustainable. In this thesis, the feasibility of the constructive system for the realization of building façade, through the experimental tests and component life cycle analysis, is verified. The components and materials properties both in laboratory conditions and after different types of ageing conditions (durability) are tested. The interaction between building components and environment, from the production to ultimate disposal (LCA - Life Cycle Assessment) are analysed. The methods used were mostly of the experimental type. The material mechanical properties both in environmental conditions and in different types of ageing conditions were analysed, such as continuous condensation (ISO 6270-2) and UV irradiation (ASTM D904–99). Additional test with combined artificial ageing (climatic chamber and exposure to UV radiation - Tcc+Tuv – and the other way around - Tuv+Tcc) were tested. The numerical and analytical studies were carried out, with the objective to check and validate the results obtained through experimental tests. The main outcome was the validation of the patents basic ideas, which is a key point in the industrialization process of the construction elements (Structural Member). The aim of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of the use of pultruded Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) profiles, adhesively joined with other materials (i.e. steel), in the construction sector. The objective is both to reduce the GFRP profiles deformation under loading conditions, and to avoid the brittle fractures that could occur in bolted joints. In the building engineering field, in fact, these issues (deformations and brittle fractures) prevent the use of pultruded materials. In the research activity, the possibility to adhesively join a steel laminate on the pultruded profile mullion for curtain walls was verified. The containment of the deformations and the prevention of brittle fractures in the bolted joint were checked, in order to verify the pultruded curtain wall feasibility, both constructively and for its structural and energy performances. Experimental results, in fact, demonstrated that the use of GFRP profiles, bonded with structural adhesives and combined with steel, is successful on curtain walls, even when they are exposed to adverse environmental conditions. The feasibility of the curtain wall implementation with high performance is verified.

Full textNumerical geological models help to understand the spatial organization of the subsurface. They are also designed to perform numerical simulations to study or predict the rocks physical behavior. The internal structures of geological models are commonly discretized using meshes to solve the physical governing equations. The quality of the meshes can be, however, considerably degraded due to the mismatch between, on the one hand, the geometry and the connectivity of the geological objects to be discretized and, on the other hand, the constraints imposed on number, shape and size of the mesh elements. As a consequence, it may be desirable to modify a geological model in order to generate good quality meshes that allow realization of reliable physical simulations in a reasonable amount of time. In this thesis, I developed strategies for repairing and simplifying 2D geological models, with the goal of easing mesh generation and simulation of physical processes on these models. I propose tools to detect model elements that do not meet the specified validity and level of detail requirements. I present a method to repair and simplify geological cross-sections locally, thus limiting the extension of modifications. This method uses operations to edit both the geometry and the connectivity of the geological model features. Two strategies are thus explored: geometric modifications (local enlargements of the layer thickness) and topological modifications (deletions of small components and local fusions of thin layers). These editing operations produce a model on which it is possible to generate a mesh and to realize numerical simulations more efficiently. But the simplifications of geological models inevitably lead to the modification of the numerical simulation results. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of model simplifications on the physical simulations, I present three applications of the method: (1) the simulation of seismic wave propagation on a cross-section within the Lorraine coal basin, (2) the site effects evaluation related to the seismic wave amplifications in the basin of the lower Var river valley, and (3) the simulation of fluid flows in a fractured porous medium. I show that (1) it is possible to use the physical simulation parameters, like the seismic resolution, to constrain the magnitude of the simplifications and to limit their impact on the numerical simulations, (2) my method of model simplification is able to drastically reduce the computation time of numerical simulations (up to a factor of 55 in the site effects case study) while preserving an equivalent physical response, and (3) the results of numerical simulations can be changed depending on the simplification strategy employed (in particular, changing the connectivity of a fracture network can lead to a modification of fluid flow paths and overestimation or underestimation of the quantity of produced resources)

The typical machine learning algorithms looks for a pattern in data, and makes an assumption that the signal to noise ratio of the pattern is high. This approach depends strongly on the quality of the datasets these algorithms operate on, and many complex algorithms fail in spectacular fashion on simple tasks by overfitting noise or outlier examples. These algorithms have training procedures that scale poorly in the size of the dataset, and their out-puts are difficult to intepret. This thesis proposes solutions to both problems by leveraging the theory of optimal transport and proposing efficient algorithms to solve problems in: (1) quantization, with extensions to the Wasserstein barycenter problem, and a link to the classical coreset problem; (2) natural language processing where the hierarchical structure of text allows us to compare documents efficiently;(3) Bayesian inference where we can impose a hierarchy on the label switching problem to resolve ambiguities.

Full textReconstructing surfaces with data coming from an automatic acquisition technique always entails the problem of mass of data. This implies that the usual processes cannot be applied directly. Therefore, it leads to a mandatory data reduction process. An effective algorithm for a rapid processing while keeping the original model is a valuable tool for constructing an optimal surface and managing the complex data.In this dissertation, we present methods for building an optimal geological surface from a huge amount of 3D points extracted from seismic cubes. Applying the process to the whole set of points induces an important risk of surface shrinking so that the initial boundary extraction is an important step permitting a simplification inside the surface. The global surface shape will then be better kept for the reconstruction of the final triangular surface. Our proposals are based on the regularity of data which permits, even if data are missing, to easily obtain the neighboring information. Firstly, we present a new method to extract and simplify the boundary of an elevation surface given as voxels in a large 3D volume having the characteristics to be sparse. Secondly, a method for simplifying the surface inside its boundary is presented with a rough optional simplification step followed by a finer one based on curvatures. We also keep into consideration that the density of data must gradually change in order to receive in the last step a triangulated surface with better triangles. Thirdly, we have proposed a new and fast method for triangulating the surface after simplification

Full textA body-in-white (biw) is a complex structure which consists of several elements that are made of different materials and assembled mainly by spot welds, generally above 80%. At the design stage, several criteria must be verified numerically and experimentally by the car prototype, as the biw durability. In the current economic context, the policy of reducing energy and other costs led automotive companies to optimize the vehicle performances, in particular by reducing very consistently the mass of the biw. As a consequences, some structural design problems appeared. In order to be validated, validation test benches are carried out upstream on a prototype vehicle. They are very costly to the manufacturer, especially when fatigue tests do not confirm the cracks areas identified by numerical simulations. The thesis is focused on numerical biw durability analysis. It covers all the numerical analysis to be implemented to study the biw durability behavior. The main objective is to develop a numerical simulation process to ensure a good level of durability prediction. It means to be able to have a good correlation level between test bench results and numerical fatigue life prediction. This thesis has led to:_ analyze the biw mechanical behavior and the excitation forces applied to the biw during the validation tests,_ establish a new fatigue data editing technique to simplify load signal,_ create a new finite element spot weld model,_ develop a new fatigue life prediction of spot welds. The studies have thus improved the level of biw fatigue life prediction by:_ identifying the majority of critical areas on the full biw,_ reliably assessing the relative criticality of each area,_ accurately estimating the lifetime associated with each of these areas

Full textSoftware validation remains a crucial part in software development process. Two major techniques have improved in recent years, dynamic and static analysis. They have complementary strengths and weaknesses. We present in this thesis a new original combination of these methods to make the research of runtime errors more accurate, automatic and reduce the number of false alarms. We prove as well the correction of the method. In this combination, static analysis reports alarms of runtime errors some of which may be false alarms, and test generation is used to confirm or reject these alarms. When applied on large programs, test generation may lack time or space before confirming out certain alarms as real bugs or finding that some alarms are unreachable. To overcome this problem, we propose to reduce the source code by program slicing before running test generation. Program slicing transforms a program into another simpler program, which is equivalent to the original program with respect to certain criterion. Four usages of program slicing were studied. The first usage is called all. It applies the slicing only once, the simplification criterion is the set of all alarms in the program. The disadvantage of this usage is that test generation may lack time or space and alarms that are easier to classify are penalized by the analysis of other more complex alarms. In the second usage, called each, program slicing is performed with respect to each alarm separately. However, test generation is executed for each sliced program and there is a risk of redundancy if some alarms are included in many slices. To overcome these drawbacks, we studied dependencies between alarms on which we base to introduce two advanced usages of program slicing : min and smart. In the min usage, the slicing is performed with respect to subsets of alarms. These subsets are selected based on dependencies between alarms and the union of these subsets cover the whole set of alarms. With this usage, we analyze less slices than with each, and simpler slices than with all. However, the dynamic analysis of some slices may lack time or space before classifying some alarms, while the dynamic analysis of a simpler slice could possibly classify some. Usage smart applies previous usage iteratively by reducing the size of the subsets when necessary. When an alarm cannot be classified by the dynamic analysis of a slice, simpler slices are calculated. These works are implemented in sante, our tool that combines the test generation tool PathCrawler and the platform of static analysis Frama-C. Experiments have shown, firstly, that our combination is more effective than each technique used separately and, secondly, that the verification is faster after reducing the code with program slicing. Simplifying the program by program slicing also makes the detected errors and the remaining alarms easier to analyze

Full textWith the evolution of Web technology, healthcare documentation is becoming increasinglyabundant and accessible to all, especially to patients, who have access to a large amount ofhealth information. Unfortunately, the ease of access to medical information does not guaranteeits correct understanding by the intended audience, in this case non-experts. Our PhD work aimsat creating a resource for the simplification of medical texts, based on a syntactico-semanticanalysis of verbs in four French medical corpora, that are distinguished according to the levelof expertise of their authors and that of the target audiences. The resource created in thepresent thesis contains 230 syntactico-semantic patterns of verbs (called pss), aligned withtheir non-specialized equivalents. The semi-automatic method applied, for the analysis of verbs,in order to achieve our goal is based on four fundamental tasks : the syntactic annotation of thecorpora, carried out thanks to the Cordial parser (Laurent et al., 2009) ; the semantic annotationof verb arguments, based on semantic categories of the French version of a medical terminologyknown as Snomed International (Côté, 1996) ; the acquisition of syntactico-semantic patternsof verbs and the contrastive analysis of the verbs behaviors in the different corpora. Thepss, acquired at the end of this process, undergo an evaluation (by three teams of medicalexperts) which leads to the selection of candidates constituting the nomenclature of our textsimplification resource. These pss are then aligned with their non-specialized equivalents, thisalignment leads to the creation of the simplification resource, which is the main result of ourPhD study. The content of the resource was evaluated by two groups of people : linguists andnon-linguists. The results show that the simplification of pss makes it easier for non-expertsto understand the meaning of verbs used in a specialized way, especially when a certain set ofparameters is collected

Full textThis thesis relates to various methodological developments and their applications in NMR in chiral liquid crystal solvents. Firstly, we have shown that experiments using selective pulses allowed us to extract information from proton and carbon-13 spectra which were inaccessible on the standard monodimensional spectra. We then used these techniques to measure a maximum of dipolar couplings in order to specify, in an unambiguous way, the relative configurations of stereogenic centres in rigid molecules. We showed that for the steroid DHEA, only one relative geometry of the substituents was compatible with all the measured dipolar couplings and led to a correct standard deviation between calculated and experimental dipolar couplings. This method is extremely promising because it is much less ambiguous than the more traditional methods used in isotropic media. Finally, we developed this method in the case of flexible molecules where the problem becomes more complicated because of the correlation between molecular conformation and orientational order. The number of parameters to be re-iterated explodes rapidly, whereas the number of measurables remain constant, and thus a general treatment is not possible. By studying for example, the 1,2-dibromopropane, we showed that the problem is manageable, under the condition of using a parametric model to calculate the average value of order parameters for each conformation. The parameters to be re-iterated, are then much fewer and the problem can be dealt with. Thus, we showed that, with four bond indices and the geometry of different conformers obtained by ab initio calculations, we could obtain an excellent agreement between the calculated and experimental dipolar couplings, and determine without ambiguity the relative configuration of the methylenic protons compared with the configuration of the chiral center

Abstract For the free or forced vibration analysis of a uniform beam carrying any number of concentrated elements (such as fixed lumped masses, elastically-mounted lumped masses, linear springs, rotational springs, or spring-damper-mass systems), the analytical-and-numerical-combined method (ANCM) is one of the most simple and accurate approaches in addition to the conventional finite element method (FEM). From the existing literature one finds that the ANCM has been used in the "flexural vibration" analysis of the uniform beams, but use of the ANCM to the "torsional" vibration analysis of the rotating shafts carrying multiple concentrated elements (such as propellers, pulleys, or couplings) is not found yet. Hence, the first objective of this thesis is to investigate the free and forced torsional vibration characteristics of a propulsive shafting system by means of the ANCM. Besides, the literature relating to the dynamic analysis of the "non-uniform" beams without carrying any concentrated elements is rare and the study on the flexural vibration analysis of the "non-uniform" beams carrying any number of concentrated elements is not found yet. Therefore, the second objective of this thesis is to deal with the latter problem with the ANCM. For a multi-bay beam-like lattice girder, one of the main information required by the designers is the natural frequencies and mode shapes for the "global" (or whole) structure. But the dynamic analysis results obtained from the conventional FEM are composed of the natural frequencies and mode shapes for the "global" structure and those for the "local" structural members. These results often trouble the designers very much. Hence, a lot of researchers devoted themselves to the study of the structural-simplification method (SSM) of such kind of lattice girders to save computer time and to exclude the natural frequencies and mode shapes for the "local" structural members during the dynamic analysis. However, for the "three-dimensional" multi-bay beam-like lattice girders, the accuracy of the existing SSM is still not satisfactory. This is one of the reasons why the third objective of this thesis tries to present a lumped-mass model to incorporate with the stiffness matrix derived based on the rigid-plane assumption to improve the accuracy of the existing SSM.

Literature shows that excessive structures of systems and unacceptably heavy computation often restrain the applications of neuro-fuzzy systems. Thus, a novel structure simplification algorithm , SSA ,is proposed as the preprocess of all neuro-fuzzy systems. Two stages of processes comprise SSA. First, by combining the concepts of correlation matrix and Principal Component Analysis, the number of input variables can be significantly reduced without much loss of information content about training data. In order to minimizing the number of memberships used for fuzzy inference, the technique of sliding-window scanning is then applied to efficiently partition the domain space for each pairs of selected input and output signals. After the operation of SSA, the initial status of a neuro-fuzzy system is automatically and properly established without any human expertise. To illustrate the performance and generality of SSA, some benchmarks were respectively tested in both the well-known Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Network (ANFIS) and the hybrid system of SSA and ANFIS by using MATLAB simulator. Those benchmarks include the approximation of a sinc function with two inputs, the prediction of Mackey-Glass chaotic time series with four inputs, and the prediction of Gas furnace time series with ten inputs. Experiments showed that, in problems of both function approximation and prediction, SSA can significantly reduce the nodes used in ANFIS, speed up the learning and inference processes, and largely improve the capabilities of identification and generalization.

Nowadays, performance-based design became more and more popular for building design, so that inelastic analysis became an important tool to solve this problems. In this research, the effective of three inelastic analysis methods will be compared. They are Displacement Coefficient method, Capacity Spectrum method and Time History method. Secondly, we will also use the concept of lateral stiffnesses of frames to distribute horizontal load to each frame. According to this concept, one can distribute the torsion due to horizontal loading in 3D structure to frames. Also according to this technique, one can use 2D analysis to estimate results of 3D analysis.

Automated generalization is a important and necessary process in computerp-assisted graphy. It is used to process the data of maps on a larger scale, and then produces a smaller one automatically. Linear features are dominant in conventional maps, and own higher percentage in the vectorized digital maps. So the subject of this study is line, such as administrative boundary line, coast line etc.. There are many find of simplification aglorithm, while in order to process in computer, it is more important that data sructure of data simplitied. A movel simplification algorithm and data structure are introduced in this thesis, which improve the building of binary generalization tree made in Douglas algorithm. they process the coordinates effectively for the purpose of archieveing the goal of logical zooming.

For representing much more realistic visual effects, numerous polygons are often used in many applications of virtual reality and 3D computer graphics today. The number of polygons used in the complicated CG scene becomes more and more. Manipulating and rendering these polygons makes the rendering system a heavy burden. The main purpose of Levels of Detail(LOD)is to reduce the computing cost at the rendering stage by switching among the multi-resolution 3D models according to the actual needs of system and environments. However, the appearance of the model will become coarser certainly while the resolution is reduced. Therefore, simplifying the complexity of models and preserving the appearances of objects at the same time is a very important research issue for LOD. In this paper, to solve the problem mentioned above, we propose a perception-oriented LOD system by introducing the concept of 3D skeleton. The 3D skeleton is a simplified description to its original model. It provides important information to keep whole appearance while model is simplified. Hence, skeleton is taken into consideration first before we simplify models. Then model is divided appropriately in accordance with the alignment of the skeleton. The regions and vertices which represent the features of whole model could be found according to the relationship between the model and its 3D skeleton. Afterward the basic shape of the model could be preserved by reserving important feature regions and vertices while model is simplified. Furthermore, the properties about shape recognition are also taken into account to improve the result of simplification.
