International audience; Installation of an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion pilot plant (OTEC) off the Caribbean coast of Martinique is expected to use approximately 100 000 m 3 h-1 of deep seawater for its functioning. This study examined the potential effects of the co...

AbstractMonitoring vessel traffic in coastal regions is a key element of maritime security. For this reason, additional ways of detecting moving vessels are explored by using the unique structure of their wake waves based on pressure measurements at the seabed. The expe...

We investigate the use of Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for signal detection in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. We present an analytical photon counting model for the SiPM and clarify the related noise sources. Then, for a typical UWOC link,...

This paper presents a novel autonomous environmental monitoring methodology based on collaboration and collective decision-making among robotic agents in a heterogeneous swarm developed within the project subCULTron, tested in a realistic marine environment. The swarm s...

Automatic personality analysis has gained attention in the last years as a fundamental dimension in human-To-human and human-To-machine interaction. However, it still suffers from limited number and size of speech corpora for specific domains, such as the assessment of ...

Academic Search is a timeless challenge that the field of Information Retrieval has been dealing with for many years. Even today, the search for academic material is a broad field of research that recently started working on problems like the COVID-19 pandemic. However,...

Network coding can be very useful in achieving a balance between energy efficiency and end-to-end packet error in sensor networks, particularly if only a subset of the nodes act as encoding nodes. In this article, a mathematical model and a heuristic algorithm are propo...

Fish have developed advanced hydrodynamic sensing capabilities using neuromasts, a series of collocated inertial sensors distributed over their body. We have developed the hydromast, an upscaled version of this sensing modality in order to facilitate near bed sensing fo...

International audience; The use of hydrogen as an alternative for electric energy storage has emerged recently. Being composed of small molecules, hydrogen has a strong ability to migrate in porous medium and can also be highly reactive with rock-forming minerals. In th...

The increasing volume of data being produced, curated, and made available by research infrastructures in the environmental science domain require services that are able to optimize the delivery and staging of data for researchers and other users of scientific data. Spec...
