L'Arc jurassien franco-suisse, une communauté de destin?

La Franche-Comté reste à ce jour une des trois régions françaises, avec Rhône-Alpes et l'Alsace, à conserver une frontière internationale extérieure à l'Union européenne, cheminant sur près de 230 km. Cette frontière tangible sépare deux communautés de vie mais unit également leur destin. L'espace transfrontalier de l'Arc jurassien est propice aux échanges, que génèrent les différentiels monétaires, administratifs et sociaux existants entre la France et la Suisse

Fourier Spectrum Analysis of the New Solar Neutrino Capture Rate Data for the Homestake Experiment

The paper provides results of the Fourier spectrum analysis of the new Ar-37 production rate data of the Homestake solar neutrino experiment and compares them with results for earlier data, revealing the harmonic content in the Ar-37 production in the Homestake experiment.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures combined in one eps file, uses espcrc1.sty (included), to appear in Nuclear Physics

A subset of precise UML for Model-based Testing

This paper presents an original model-based testing approach that takes a UML behavioural view of the system under test and automatically generates test cases and executable test scripts according to model coverage criteria. This approach is embedded in the LEIRIOS Test Designer tool and is currently deployed in domains such as Enterprise IT and electronic transaction applications. This model-based testing approach makes it possible to automatically produce the traceability matrix from requirements to test cases as part of the test generation process. This paper defines the subset of UML used for model-based testing and illustrates it using a small example

Solar Resonant Diffusion Waves as a Driver of Terrestrial Climate Change

A theory is described based on resonant thermal diffusion waves in the sun that appears to explain many details of the paleotemperature record for the last 5.3 million years. These include the observed periodicities, the relative strengths of each observed cycle, and the sudden emergence in time for the 100 thousand year cycle. Other prior work suggesting a link between terrestrial paleoclimate and solar luminosity variations has not provided any specific mechanism. The particular mechanism described here has been demonstrated empirically, although not previously invoked in the solar context. The theory also lacks most of the problems associated with Milankovitch cycles.Comment: in press with The Journal of Atmospheric and Solr Terrestrial Physic
