We consider the problem of detecting a signal of interest corrupted by Gaussian noise with unknown mean and covariance matrix when the training samples available have a different mean. We evaluate the robustness of well-known adaptive detectors designed under the assumption of a same mean. More precisely, statistical representations of the generali...
Modal analyses are essential steps in structural design. Simple and quick numerical procedures and design tools for modal and dynamic analysis of bonded joints would be an attractive option to increase the efficiency of the design process in its early phases. This paper offers a simple and quick numerical tool dedicated to the modal analysis of sin...
The influence of the chromia volatilization on the oxidation kinetics of Inconel 625 was investigated at 900 ◦C under flowing wet air (74%N2-18.5%O2-7.5%H2O) through an interdisciplinary approach, coupling experiments and gas phase simulation. Oxidation tests showed a strong decrease in the volatilization rate of lined-up samples from the inlet to ...
Solar drying and liming are commonly used for sludge treatment, but little is known about their efficiency on antibiotics and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) removal. This study aimed to investigate the removal of antibiotics and PAHs during solar drying of Limed Sludge (LS) and Non-Limed Sludge (NLS). Thus, organic matter fractionation and...
Agricultural soils are exposed to multiple contaminants through the use of agrochemicals or sewage sludge, introducing metals, nanomaterials and others. Among nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are known for their large surface area and adsorption capabilities, possibly modifying other element behavior. However, to date, very little is known ab...
The dynamics of V-shape swirled lean premixed methane/air flames enriched with hydrogen is examined for two injection schemes. The response of the flames submitted to harmonic flowrate modulations is compared when hy- drogen is premixed with the main methane/air flow and when it is injected pure as a pilot jet, directly at the flame base. Experimen...
A large variety of flow configurations involve an aero-acoustic coupling and the complexity of the interaction can make the analysis difficult. In the purpose to decompose these flows in simpler phenomena, the spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) algorithm can be used. Compared to POD, this method adds up a discrete Fourier transform bef...
β-FeSi2 is a promising material for thermoelectric application, especially if it can be nanostructured to decrease the lattice contribution to the thermal conductivity. It can be even more interesting if the entire chain of processes implemented to obtain it is not too time and energy consuming. In this paper we report a simple route to synthesize ...
Non-linear numerical modeling, widely used in research and development to understand many complex processes such as forming or machining, does not guarantee the success of a study to be performed. Indeed, the numerical simulation uses finite element codes where the models already integrated are not based on shapes adjustable to any type of study. I...
Steady-States Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) refer to the sustained rhythmic activity observed in surface electroencephalography (EEG) in response to the presentation of repetitive visual stimuli (RVS). Due to their robustness and rapid onset, SSVEP have been widely used in Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI). However, typical SSVEP stimuli are str...
