This thesis gives an analogue to the classical Schur-Weyl duality in the setting of Deligne categories. Given a finite-dimensional unital vector space V (i.e. a vector space V with a distinguished non-zero vector 1) we give a definition of a complex tensor power of V. This is an Ind-object of the Deligne category Rep(St) equipped with a natural action of gl(V). This construction allows us to describe a duality between the abelian envelope of the category Rep(St) and a localization of the category Op/t,v (the parabolic category 0 for gl(V) associated with the pair (V, 1)). In particular, we obtain an exact contravariant functor SWt from the category Repab(St) (the abelian envelope of the category Rep(St)) to a certain quotient of the category Op/t v. This quotient, denoted by 0 p/t v, is obtained by taking the full subcategory of Op/t v consisting of modules of degree t, and localizing by the subcategory of finite dimensional modules. It turns out that the contravariant functor SWt makes Op/t v a Serre quotient of the category Repab(St)OP, and the kernel of SWt can be explicitly described. In the second part of this thesis, we consider the case when V = C[infinity] . We define the appropriate version of the parabolic category 0 and its localization, and show that the latter is equivalent to a "restricted" inverse limit of categories Op/t1CN with N tending to infinity. The Schur-Weyl functors SWt,CN then give an anti-equivalence between the category Op[infinity]/t C[infinity]and the category Repab(Se). This duality provides an unexpected tensor structure on the category Op[infinity]/t C[infinity].

Texte intégralIn this work, we are interested to tackle the problem of link prediction in complex networks. In particular, we explore topological dyadic approaches for link prediction. Different topological proximity measures have been studied in the scientific literature for finding the probability of appearance of new links in a complex network. Supervided learning methods have also been used to combine the predictions made or information provided by different topological measures. The create predictive models using various topological measures. The problem of supervised learning for link prediction is a difficult problem especially due to the presence of heavy class imbalance. In this thesis, we search different alternative approaches to improve the performance of different dyadic approaches for link prediction. We propose here, a new approach of link prediction based on supervised rank agregation that uses concepts from computational social choice theory. Our approach is founded on supervised techniques of aggregating sorted lists (or preference aggregation). We also explore different ways of improving supervised link prediction approaches. One approach is to extend the set of attributes describing an example (pair of nodes) by attributes calculated in a multiplex network that includes the target network. Multiplex networks have a layered structure, each layer having different kinds of links between same sets of nodes. The second way is to use community information for sampling of examples to deal with the problem of classe imabalance.

Texte intégralThe overall organization of the nuclear pore complexes (NPC) has been evolutionary conserved. Yet variations in organisms likely provide important clues to NPC functions. While most NPC proteins (nucleoporins or Nups) have been identified in S. Cerevisiae and vertebrates, few nucleoporins have been characterized in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. During my PhD, through sequence homology with S. Cerevisiae, I have identified and further functionally characterized 6 novel S. Pombe nucleoporins. Biochemical approaches have confirmed the organization of these Nups within conserved NPC subcomplexes. While examination of the S. Pombe deletion mutants revealed different viability phenotype as compared to their S. Cerevisiae orthologues, functional studies indicated that the involvement of this complex in NPC distribution and mRNA export has been partly conserved between these highly divergent yeasts. Unexpectedly microscopic analyses of the S. Pombe mutants showed additional cell division defects (spindles, chromosome segregation and septation) reminiscent to some GTPase Ran-cycle mutants. Consistently I further showed a specific functional link between the SpNup107 complex and the Ran pathway. During mitosis, the Human Nup107 complex colocalizes with kinetochores suggesting an as yet unidentified evolutionary conserved role of these Nups in mitosis, even though this feature does not seem to be conserved in S. Pombe. These differences between yeast S. Pombe and vertebrates could be associated to some specificity related to closed versus opened mitosis. My work has thus provided additional clues of the involvement of the Nup107 complex in cell division mechanisms

Texte intégralSince 1960 and the result of Karatsuba, we know that the complexity of the multiplication (of integers or polynomials) is sub-quadratic: given a ring R, the product in R[X] of polynomials a_0 + a_1 X and b_0 + b_1 X, for any a_0, a_1, b_0 and b_1 in R, can be computed with three and not four multiplications over R: (a_0 + a_1X)(b_0 + b_1X) = m_0 + (m_2 - m_0 - m_1)X + m_1X^2, with the three multiplications m_0 = a_0b_0, m_1 = a_1b_1 et m_2 = (a_0 + a_1)(b_0 + b_1). In the same manner, Strassen's algorithm allows one to multiply two matrices 2nx2n with only seven products of matrices nxn. The two previous examples fall in the category of bilinear maps: these are functions of the form Phi : K^m x K^n -> K^l, given a field K, linear in each variable. Among the most classical bilinear maps, we have the multiplication of polynomials, matrices, or even elements of algebraic extension of finite fields. Given a bilinear map Phi, computing the minimal number of multiplications necessary to the evaluation of this map is a NP-hard problem. The purpose of this thesis is to propose algorithms minimizing this number of multiplications. Two angles of attack have been studied. The first aspect of this thesis is to study the problem of the computation of the bilinear complexity under the angle of the reformulation of this problem in terms of research of matrix subspaces of a given rank. This work led to an algorithm taking into account intrinsic properties of the considered products such as matrix or polynomial products over finite fields. This algorithm allows one to find all the possible decompositions, over F_2, for the product of polynomials modulo X^5 and the product of matrices 3x2 by 2x3. Another aspect of this thesis was the development of fast asymptotic methods for the integer multiplication. There is a particular family of algorithms that has been proposed after an article by Fürer published in 2007. This article proposed a first algorithm, relying on fast Fourier transform (FFT), allowing one to multiply n-bit integers in O(n log n 2^{O(log^* n)}), where log^* is the iterated logarithm function. In this thesis, an algorithm, relying on a number theoretical conjecture, has been proposed, involving the use of FFT and generalized Fermat primes. With a careful complexity analysis of this algorithm, we obtain a complexity in O(nlog n 4^{log^* n})

Texte intégralThe ecology of the“southernmost” green frogs was studied by comparing the life history traits, which were found to be positively related to the fitness of the tadpoles. This research project mainly consisted of 1) the genetic identification of frogs, 2) the evaluation of the contribution of morphometry in the morphological identification and the analyses of these limits, 3) the geographic distribution of five taxa (R. Ridibunda, R. Lessonae, R. Perezi, R. Kl. Esculenta R. Kl. Grafi) in the south of France by studying 9 populations and 4) the study of the local processes of adaptation. The protein electrophoresis allowed the taxonomic identification of the frogs (specific allozymic markers) and the presence of new alleles for R. Perezi: and R. Lessonae was evidenced. On the contrary, of all the 24 variables and ratios measured, no morphological traits made it possible to differentiate between the 5 taxa. The averages indicate an interspecific and intraspecific overlapping. Although, this work clearly highlighted that the ecotypic variations masked the specific variations. The distribution of R. Lessonae in the South of France constitutes an improvement in the knowledge of the geographic distribution of this species. Moreover, one new of contact zone between 2 distinct complexes of hybridization, the P-G and the L–E systems, was localised in a temporary pond in the south of France. The local processes of adaptations were highlighted by experimental protocols which allow the comparison of the ecological performances (indirect measurement of fitness) of the taxa of the complex R. Perezi - R. Kl. Grafi, through life history traits like larval development, survival and weight at metamorphosis in 2 different types of environments: temporary and permanent. We, thus, conclude that the green frog taxa show/demonstrate specifics responses at genetic and phenotypical levels (local adaptation) to the variations of the abiotic and biotic environmental factors. However the tadpoles of the temporary environment present a better fitness when compared with their siblings of permanent environments in context of temporary ponds

Texte intégralThe relevance of the zonal RANS/LES coupling methods for the unsteady simulation of turbulent flows is presented. The problems to be solved in order to develop a strategy of zonal coupling are outlined. Two of these problems are addressed. The first one is the improvement of the strategies of the zonal coupling to extend the area of influence of the LES zone in the RANS zone as far as possible. The proposed solution is based on an original RANS eddy viscosity reconstruction method, combined with a correction for the RANS turbulence model. The second one deals with the generation of a realistic turbulence at the inflow of the LES domains thanks to an enrichment of the RANS solutions, in order to reduce as much as possible the size of the LES domains. This turbulence is generated through LES inflow conditions based on databases. These techniques are applied to the flow around an airfoil at high Reynolds number and high angle of attack

Texte intégralIn this thesis, we consider first the problem of low dimensional signal subspace estimation in a Bayesian context. We focus on compound Gaussian signals embedded in white Gaussian noise, which is a realistic modeling for various array processing applications. Following the Bayesian framework, we derive algorithms to compute both the maximum a posteriori and the so-called minimum mean square distance estimator, which minimizes the average natural distance between the true range space of interest and its estimate. Such approaches have shown their interests for signal subspace estimation in the small sample support and/or low signal to noise ratio contexts. As a byproduct, we also introduce a generalized version of the complex Bingham Langevin distribution in order to model the prior on the subspace orthonormal basis. Numerical simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithms. Then, a practical example of Bayesian prior design is presented for the purpose of radar detection.Second, we aim to test common properties between low rank structured covariance matrices.Indeed, this hypothesis testing has been shown to be a relevant approach for change and/oranomaly detection in synthetic aperture radar images. While the term similarity usually refersto equality or proportionality, we explore the testing of shared properties in the structure oflow rank plus identity covariance matrices, which are appropriate for radar processing. Specifically,we derive generalized likelihood ratio tests to infer i) on the equality/proportionality ofthe low rank signal component of covariance matrices, and ii) on the equality of the signalsubspace component of covariance matrices. The formulation of the second test involves nontrivialoptimization problems for which we tailor ecient Majorization-Minimization algorithms.Eventually, the proposed detection methods enjoy interesting properties, that are illustrated on simulations and on an application to real data for change detection

Texte intégralFSI industrial applications are often described by complex geometries and materials. In order to accurately predict their behavior, high computational costs are associated, both in time and in computational resources. To improve the quality of the prediction without penalizing the computational time, and to reduce the computational time without impacting the accuracy that is available today, two main axes are explored in this work. The first one is the study of an asynchronous algorithm that could allow the use of complex structural models. The second axis consists of the study of the strip method while combining the use of a RANS model and a non-linear FEM model. On the one hand, the study of asynchronicity in the FSI domain revealed different aspects of interest that must be addressed before the approach can be used industrially. However, a first treatment of the limitations found showed signs of an improvement that could lead to a promising algorithm, one that naturally lies between the implicit external algorithm and the implicit internal algorithm. On the other hand, it was shown that the strip method developed in this work achieves a significant reduction in calculation time while maintaining excellent accuracy

Texte intégralThe thesis consists of 6 papers. (1) We calculate the generators of SA₃(ℝ)-invariants for parabolic surfaces. (2) We calculate rigid relative invariants for rigid constant Levi-rank 1 and 2-non-degenerate hypersurfaces in ℂ³: V₀, I₀, Q₀ having 11, 52, 824 monomials in their numerators. (3) We organize all affinely homogeneous nondegenerate surfaces in ℂ³ in inequivalent branches. (4) For a directed harmonic current near a non-hyperbolic linearized singularity which does not give mass to any of the trivial separatrices and whose trivial extension across 0 is ddc-closed, we show that the Lelong number at 0 is: 4.1) strictly positive if the eigenvalue λ>0; 4.2) zero if λ is a negative rational number; 4.3) zero if λ<0 and if T is invariant under the action of some cofinite subgroup of the monodromy group. (5) We construct non-extendable, in the sense of Hartogs, holomorphic line bundles in any dimension n>=2. (6) We show that circulant matrices having k ones and k+1 zeros in the first row are always nonsingular when 2k+1 is either a power of a prime, or a product of two distinct primes. For any other integer 2k+1 we exhibit a singular circulant matrix

There are two forms of RC-RNase, free form and latent form, found in the oocyte of bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana). The latent form of RC-RNase is complexed with an RNase inhibitor (RCI). This RC-RNase-RCI complex was purified to homogeneity by a combination of phosphocellulose chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography and affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of RCI, estimated by 6% SDS-PAGE,is about 110,000 Daltons. The RCI could be irreversibly activated by heating to 60 C for 20 minutes, 3 M of urea oruM of p-hydroxymercuribenzoate(p-HMB). Further purification of RCI from RC-RNase-RCI complex was tried and discussed.

Complex diseases are typically caused by combinations of molecular disturbances that might vary strongly in different patients. Endophenotypes offer a simplified approach to this problem by reducing genetic heterogeneity. To construct endophenotype of complex disease, a supervised learning method, support vector machine (SVM), was firstly tried to apply. However, there were several difficulties. For example, high-dimension data structure and missing value of covariates in control dataset. These problems were reduced the accuracy of prediction in SVM. Since molecular dissimilarities often exist between patients with indistinguishable disease symptoms, and these unique molecular features may underlie pathogenic heterogeneity. In order to detect molecular dissimilarities between patients and to reduce the complexity of high-dimension data, we have explored an endophenotype-identification analytic procedure that combines non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and adjusted rand index (ARI). To evaluate this procedure, we compared it with a common used method principal component analysis with k-means clustering (PCA-K). A simulation study with gene expression datasets that added genotype informative was conducted to examine the performance between our procedure and PCA-K. Our results showed that NMF was superior to PCA-K. Additionally, we performed our proposed procedure with a publicly available dataset of Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). NMF distilled information associated with 1,116 transcripts into three metagenes and three molecular subtypes among patients with LOAD ( ): MS1 ( ), MS2 ( ), and MS3 ( ). ARI was then used to determine the most representative transcripts for each metagene. As results, 123, 89, and 71 metagene-specific transcripts were identified for MS1, MS2, and MS3, respectively. These metagene-specific transcripts could be treated as endophenotypes. Our findings revealed that MS1 might have a specific biological characteristic relative to APOE gene comparing to other molecular subtypes and MS2 might be a normal-like subtype. Our proposed procedure provided an alternative approach to investigate the pathogenic mechanism of disease to better understand the relationship between phenotype and genetic information.

Part II : The Magdalena Metamorphic Core Complex, North Central Sonora, Mexico ». Thesis, 1989. https://thesis.library.caltech.edu/8067/2/Nourse_ja_1989.pdf.
Texte intégralThe geology and structure of two crustal scale shear zones were studied to understand the partitioning of strain within intracontinental orogenic belts. Movement histories and regional tectonic implications are deduced from observational data. The two widely separated study areas bear the imprint of intense Late Mesozoic through Middle Cenozoic tectonic activity. A regional transition from Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary plutonism, metamorphism, and shortening strain to Middle Tertiary extension and magmatism is preserved in each area, with contrasting environments and mechanisms. Compressional phases of this tectonic history are better displayed in the Rand Mountains, whereas younger extensional structures dominate rock fabrics in the Magdalena area.
In the northwestern Mojave desert, the Rand Thrust Complex reveals a stack of four distinctive tectonic plates offset along the Garlock Fault. The lowermost plate, Rand Schist, is composed of greenschist facies metagraywacke, metachert, and metabasalt. Rand Schist is structurally overlain by Johannesburg Gneiss (= garnet-amphibolite grade orthogneisses, marbles and quartzites), which in turn is overlain by a Late Cretaceous hornblende-biotite granodiorite. Biotite granite forms the fourth and highest plate. Initial assembly of the tectonic stack involved a Late Cretaceous? south or southwest vergent overthrusting event in which Johannesburg Gneiss was imbricated and attenuated between Rand Schist and hornblende-biotite granodiorite. Thrusting postdated metamorphism and deformation of the lower two plates in separate environments. A post-kinematic stock, the Late Cretaceous Randsburg Granodiorite, intrudes deep levels of the complex and contains xenoliths of both Rand Schist and mylonitized Johannesburg? gneiss. Minimum shortening implied by the map patterns is 20 kilometers.
Some low angle faults of the Rand Thrust Complex formed or were reactivated between Late Cretaceous and Early Miocene time. South-southwest directed mylonites derived from Johannesburg Gneiss are commonly overprinted by less penetrative north-northeast vergent structures. Available kinematic information at shallower structural levels indicates that late disturbance(s) culminated in northward transport of the uppermost plate. Persistence of brittle fabrics along certain structural horizons suggests a possible association of late movement(s) with regionally known detachment faults. The four plates were juxtaposed and significant intraplate movements had ceased prior to Early Miocene emplacement of rhyolite porphyry dikes.
In the Magdalena region of north central Sonora, components of a pre-Middle Cretaceous stratigraphy are used as strain markers in tracking the evolution of a long lived orogenic belt. Important elements of the tectonic history include: (1) Compression during the Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary, accompanied by plutonism, metamorphism, and ductile strain at depth, and thrust driven? syntectonic sedimentation at the surface. (2) Middle Tertiary transition to crustal extension, initially recorded by intrusion of leucogranites, inflation of the previously shortened middle and upper crustal section, and surface volcanism. (3) Gravity induced development of a normal sense ductile shear zone at mid crustal levels, with eventual detachment and southwestward displacement of the upper crustal stratigraphy by Early Miocene time.
Elucidation of the metamorphic core complex evolution just described was facilitated by fortuitous preservation of a unique assemblage of rocks and structures. The "type" stratigraphy utilized for regional correlation and strain analysis includes a Jurassic volcanic arc assemblage overlain by an Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous quartz pebble conglomerate, in turn overlain by marine strata with fossiliferous Aptian-Albian limestones. The Jurassic strata, comprised of (a) rhyolite porphyries interstratified with quartz arenites, (b) rhyolite cobble conglomerate, and (c) intrusive granite porphyries, are known to rest on Precambrian basement north and east of the study area. The quartz pebble conglomerate is correlated with the Glance Conglomerate of southeastern Arizona and northeastern Sonora. The marine sequence represents part of an isolated arm? of the Bisbee Basin.
Crosscutting structural relationships between the pre-Middle Cretaceous supracrustal section, younger plutons, and deformational fabrics allow the tectonic sequence to be determined. Earliest phases of a Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary orogeny are marked by emplacement of the 78 ± 3 Ma Guacomea Granodiorite (U/Pb zircon, Anderson et al., 1980) as a sill into deep levels of the layered Jurassic series. Subsequent regional metamorphism and ductile strain is recorded by a penetrative schistosity and lineation, and east-west trending folds. These fabrics are intruded by post-kinematic Early Tertiary? two mica granites. At shallower crustal levels, the orogeny is represented by north directed thrust faulting, formation of a large intermontane basin, and development of a pronounced unconformity. A second important phase of ductile strain followed Middle Tertiary? emplacement of leucogranites as sills and northwest trending dikes into intermediate levels of the deformed section (surficial volcanism was also active during this transitional period to regional extension). Gravitational instabilities resulting from crustal swelling via intrusion and thermal expansion led to development of a ductile shear zone within the stratigraphic horizon occupied by a laterally extensive leucogranite sill. With continued extension, upper crustal brittle normal faults (detachment faults) enhanced the uplift and tectonic denudation of this mylonite zone, ultimately resulting in southwestward displacement of the upper crustal stratigraphy.
Strains associated with the two ductile deformation events have been successfully partitioned through a multifaceted analysis. R_f/Ø measurements on various markers from the "type" stratigraphy allow a gradient representing cumulative strain since Middle Cretaceous time to be determined. From this gradient, noncoaxial strains accrued since emplacement of the leucogranites may be removed. Irrotational components of the postleucogranite strain are measured from quartz grain shapes in deformed granites; rotational components (shear strains) are determined from S-C fabrics and from restoration of rotated dike and vein networks. Structural observations and strain data are compatable with a deformation path of: (1) coaxial strain (pure shear?), followed by (2) injection of leucogranites as dikes (perpendicular to the minimum principle stress) and sills (parallel to the minimum principle stress), then (3) southwest directed simple shear. Modeling the late strain gradient as a simple shear zone permits a minimum displacement of 10 kilometers on the Magdalena mylonite zone/detachment fault system. Removal of the Middle Tertiary noncoaxial strains yields a residual (or pre-existing) strain gradient representative of the Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary deformation. Several partially destrained cross sections, restored to the time of leucogranite emplacement, illustrate the idea that the upper plate of the core complex bas been detached from a region of significant topographic relief. 50% to 100% bulk extension across a 50 kilometer wide corridor is demonstrated.
Late Cenozoic tectonics of the Magdalena region are dominated by Basin and Range style faulting. Northeast and north-northwest trending high angle normal faults have interacted to extend the crust in an east-west direction. Net extension for this period is minor (10% to 15%) in comparison to the Middle Tertiary detachment related extensional episode.

Crystal Structure of Cytotoxic RC-RNase3 from Rana catesbeiana in Complex with Heparin Abstract The Rana catesbeiana (bullfrog) ribonucleases, which belong to the RNase A superfamily, exert cytotoxicity and lectin activity. RC-RNase3 has a unique base preference for pyrimidine-guanine rather than pyrimidine-adenine in RNase A. The crystal structure of RC-RNase3 in complex with heparin disaccharide was determined to resolution of 1.6Å. Heparin is one type of glycosaminoglycan locating primarily on the surface of cells or in the extra-cellular matrix. The overall structure of RC-RNase3-heparin complex consists of seven β-strands and three α-helices that present a bowl shape. Heparin was found locating between sheet 1 (β1, β2, β4, and β5) and sheet 2 (β3, β6, and β7). One of the sulfate groups in heparin takes place in a very close position to the free sulfate in the retro binding RC-RNase6 and d(CpG) complex. More interestingly, two sulfate groups in heparin are close to the phosphate groups of d(ApCpGpA) in the catalytic binding RC-RNase and d(ApCpGpA) complex. Our results indicate a new binding mode where heparin sharing approximately the same binding site to the catalytic and retro binding modes. Crystallization and Preliminary X-ray Diffraction Analysis of Muscarinic Toxin-Like Protein, BM14 and BM8 from Bungarus multicinctus Abstract Two novel proteins BM14 and BM8 were isolated from Bungarus multicinctus (Taiwan banded krait) venom. BM14 and BM8 are sequence identical except Lys37-Lys38 in BM14 and Glu37-Ala38 in BM8. In contrast to BM8, BM14 exhibited an activity on binding to the M2 muscarinic acetlycholine (mAchR) receptor subtype, indicating Lys37 and Lys38 of BM14 play the crucial roles on binding to M2 mAchR. Although BM14 and BM8 shared a 20-38% sequence identity with snake venom cardiotoxins, they did not show the cytotoxicity. Eight out of ten Cys residues in BM14 and BM8 are located at the conserved positions as those in neurotoxin, cardiotoxin and muscarinic toxin protein sequences, so called the three-finger protein. BM14 and BM8 crystals were grown by the hanging drop vapor diffusion method. The crystals of BM14 diffract to 3.0Å and belong to the tetragonal space group I422 with unit-cell parameters a=81.68Å, b=81.68Å, c=207.30Å, and α=β=γ=90°. The crystals of BM8 diffract to 3.8 Å and belong to the hexagonal space group with unit-cell parameters a=55.37Å, b=55.37Å, c=338.0Å, α=β=90°, and γ=120°.
