Contextualization: The project was conducted in the municipality of Puerto Asís, Department of Putumayo, focusing on the phenotypic characterization of morpho-agronomic traits of Theobroma cacao. This study is particularly relevant due to the absence of germplasm banks and breeding programs in the region, which is located in the Colombian Amazon. T...
Older adults are an inherently heterogeneous population with various underlying pathologies, medication use, and habits. In this study, the variability of this population was studied for the gastric and duodenal fluid volumes, as the amount of gastrointestinal volumes could play an essential role in the dissolution of drugs. The fluid volumes were ...
Theta burst stimulation (TBS) can modulate cortical excitability but suffers from high inter-subject variability. Modified TBS frequency patterns (30 Hz) showed consistent inhibitory aftereffects, but further research into the time course of these effects is needed. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a 30 Hz continuous TBS (cTBS) proto...

The concept of free will has challenged physicists, biologists, philosophers, and other professionals for decades. The constrained disorder principle (CDP) is a fundamental law that defines systems according to their inherent variability. It provides mechanisms for adapting to dynamic environments. This work examines the CDP's perspective of free w...
The building of a tree is the result of wood growth through successive division, expansion and maturation of living cells at the periphery of the trunk and branches. During this process, diameter growth is combined with sapwood pre-stress to allow posture control by the generation of growth forces in the living wood cells. These mechanical aspects ...
Optimizing yield and seed quality in soybean production is critical for both profitability and meeting market demands. However, within-field variability in soil properties poses a challenge in determining optimal management strategies to maximize soybean yield, seed quality, and profitability. This work aimed to evaluate the spatial variability of ...

In 2020, the NIH and FDA issued guidance documents that laid the foundation for human subject research during an unprecedented pandemic. To bridge these general considerations to actual applications in cardiovascular interventional device trials, the PAndemic Impact on INTErventional device ReSearch (PAIINTERS) Working Group was formed in early 202...
Large language models (LLMs) can be used to automate software engineering tasks, with the hope of boosting developers' productivity without sacrificing reliability. In this talk, I will briefly present two initiatives: the défi Inria LLM4Code and the CodeCommons project around SoftwareHeritage, exemplifying ongoing research efforts. Then, I will sh...
Ce travail a pour objectif de développer des modèles conjoints permettant de prendre en compte rigoureusement la variabilité individuelle d’un marqueur longitudinal comme facteur de risque d’événements de santé. Ces modèles conjoints combinent un modèle linéaire mixte avec une variance résiduelle hétéroscédastique pour décrire l’évolution dans le t...

The Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) is an important input for the Earth’s climate. To describe the competing contributions of sunspots and faculae on irradiance variability, the San Fernando Observatory (SFO) irradiance model has two components: One component is an index derived from a continuum image that provides a sunspot signal. The other componen...
