Abstract:
“Heterosex” occupies a contradictory position in academic feminism. While much research has been done through the decades, the substantive research focus, and the theoretical approaches used to conceptualise and explain it, have remained more limited. This has produced significant empirical gaps and limitations, and while feminists have remarked on this for some time (Albury, 2008, Segal, 1994), it has not been seriously addressed. The diversity of knowledge production has continued to remain “strangely repressed” (Smart, 1996). This thesis represents an intervention in relation to this landsc

From the simple electronic vibrator to the complex assemblages of cybersex, sex and technology have always intersected. The dynamic relations between sexuality and technology are constantly changing along with the ways in which human beings achieve psychological and bodily pleasure through these devices. Sex machine, a term that denotes an automated device that can assist human in the pursuits of sex, has been broadly defined as therapeutic and pleasure machines in the West. Large numbers of sex machines have been documented in Europe and America starting from the nineteenth century, and were

La pratique artistique de Piotr Kowalski (1927-2004) est singulière. Mathématicien, scientifique puis architecte, Piotr Kowalski s’oriente dès les années soixante vers la sculpture et créé des outils d’art qui matérialisent des lois physiques ou de pensée. Ses « machines à faire des vierges » agissent sur le spectateur comme principe cognitif en proposant d’expérimenter directement une connaissance. La démarche de Piotr Kowalski rompt avec l’idée romantique de l’artiste isolé dans son atelier. Convaincu que la sculpture doit produire avec les moyens contemporains, il travaille dans les usines

The thesis falls into the field of machine olfaction and accompanying experimental set up for chemical gas sensing. Perhaps more than any other sensory modality, chemical sensing faces with major technical and conceptual challenges: low specificity, slow response time, long term instability, power consumption, portability, coding capacity and robustness. There is an important trend of the last decade pushing artificial olfaction to mimic the biological olfaction system of insects and mammalians.

In the first part of the thesis, we use recent results in kernel smoothing and integral-operator learning to design a generic strategy to speed up various kernel methods.

Initially, both general and specific user interface software influences are examined, and it is shown how these needs can be met using new

Technical advances in the past decade have enabled the development of very fast but expensive component placement machines for the production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). However, when these fast machines have to assemble small volumes of many different types of circuit boards, the machine set-up time becomes much more important than the assembly rate of each board.

Abstract:
The goal of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project has been to characterize all the functional elements of the human genome. These elements include expressed transcripts and genomic regions bound by transcription factors (TFs), occupied by nucleosomes, occupied by nucleosomes with modified histones, or hypersensitive to DNase I cleavage, etc. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) is an experimental technique for detecting TF binding in living cells, and the genomic regions bound by TFs are called ChIP-seq peaks. ENCODE has performed and compiled results from tens of thousands of

Abstract:
The work presented in this thesis aims to make contribution to the understanding and application of six-legged statically stable walking machines in both theoretical and practical levels. In this thesis five pieces of work, performed with and for the three-joint six-legged Robot-EA308, are presented: 1) Standard gaits, which include the well-known wave gaits, are defined and a stability analysis, in the sense of static stable walking, is performed on an analytical level. Various definitions are given<br>theorems are stated and proved. 2) A free gait generation algorithm with reinforcement lear

Abstract:
This thesis reports the performance of a simple classifier as a function of its training data set. The classifier is used to remove analog tests and is named the Test Removal Classifier (TRC). The thesis proposes seven different training data set designs that vary by the number of wafers in the data set, the source of the wafers and the replacement scheme of the wafers. The training data set size ranges from a single wafer to a maximum of five wafers. Three of the training data sets include wafers from the Lot Under Test (LUT). The training wafers in the data set are either fixed across all lo

Nous avons developpe une heuristique d'ordonnancement de transactions temps reel dans un environnement non deterministe. Elle accepte des contraintes de temps plus ou moins fortes pour des transactions temps reel doux comme pour des transactions temps reel dur. Notre heuristique repose sur une politique d'acces au processeur par multithreading. Le temps total d'execution d'une transaction est estime en fonction d'une charge probable independante de la charge reelle. Nous montrons que les performances de notre heuristique dependent de la charge du systeme mais surtout de la sous-evaluation du n

Abstract:
Did you stand at a door with a bunch of keys and tried to find the right one to unlock the door? Did you hold a flower and wonder the name of it? A need of object recognition could rise anytime and any where in our daily lives. With the development of mobile devices object recognition applications become possible to provide immediate assistance. However, performing complex tasks in even the most advanced mobile platforms still faces great challenges due to the limited computing resources and computing power. In this thesis, we present an object recognition system that resides and executes wit
