Dental Microwear textures of extant ruminants from the Bauges Regional Natural Park, France
No full textThis dataset contains dental microwear surfaces disto-buccal facets of the lower second molars of extant wild-sampled specimens of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus), mouflon (Ovis gmelini) and chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) from the Bauges Regional Natural Park, France. Material is stored at the Palevoprim Lab, University of Poitiers, France. Details are given in Merceron et al. (2021).

Margot LOUAIL and Gildas MERCERON
This dataset contains dental microwear surfaces on crushing (f9, f10, f12, f13) and shearing (f1, f3, f4) facets on upper decidual premolars either right (dex) or left (sen) of controlled fed pigs at the GenESI Station at the Lusignan-Rouillé INRAe station, Nouvelle Aquitaine, France. Details are given in Louail et al. (2025).
Here are provided three different files for each specimen:
• Plu files: these files are the raw data extracted from the Leica DCM8 “Trident” stored at the PALEVOPRIM lab. Plµx files are also provided.
• Mnt files: these files include all pre-treatments ran on the Plu files. We batch-applied with a template on the Plu files. In a few cases, we adjusted the settings manually. All changes were saved in the mnt.
• Sur files: these files are the final studiables issued the mnt files. This is the data on which we can extract texture parameters.
A template is provided:
• Zinv200+ 100: this template is applied on the plux files obtained from dental molds, meaning the plux reproduces an inversed relief of the dental texture. A Z inverse operator is included in the template. 200 makes reference to the extraction of a 200x200 µm area and 100 to a 100x100 µm area on which analysis are run. PDF version of the template is provided so one could generate the very same procedures using open free software.
Each facet was scanned using “TRIDENT”, a Leica DCM8 (Leica Microsystem) white light confocal profilometer housed at the PALEVOPRIM lab (CNRS and University of Poitiers; numerical aperture: 0.90; working distance: 0.9 mm; Leica Microsystems). Scanned surfaces were pre-treated under LeicaMap v. 8.0 (Leica Microsystems, Mountain technology; see Merceron et al., 2016 including SI for more details). A 200 × 200 μm (1551 × 1551 pixels) leveled area was generated from each surface and used for Dental Microwear Texture Analysis.

Component-based Verification in a Synchronous Setting
No full textFormal verification of properties in reactive real-time systems is crucial, as these systems are often safety-critical. Such systems are successfully implemented using synchronous languages, where refinement is a relevant operation. This paper investigates the interplay between this operation and formal verification. It turns out that, while for the refined program component-based verification of properties expressed using suitable temporal logics is easily achieved, component-based verification from the point of view of the refining program is best achieved with observers. Our results are based on a translation of synchronous programs into Boolean automata. Their practical relevance is illustrated with a protocol case study
Specifying and verifying reactive systems in a multi-language environment
No full textThe multi-language environment Synchronie supports the design and formal verification of synchronous reactive systems.
It integrates three synchronous languages and also three ways to specify properties: the temporal logic with future operators CTL, the temporal logic with past operators Past TL, and observers, which are particular synchronous programs. It is argued that this multi-language feature provides an answer to two major issues of formal verification: facility of formalizing properties and facility of verifying large systems. The approach is illustrated with the case study of a time-triggered protocol
Scenarios for a Learning Grid
No full textLearning GRID is both a concept and a Special Interest Group of the European Network of Excellence Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope is a Network of Excellence funded by the European Commission which brings together European
research teams in Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The Learning GRID Special Interest Group gathers researchers who want to contribute to an improvement of e-learning practices through the use of the Learning GRID
concept. Its key idea reads as Learning Grid technology allows for a direct and personalized experience in realistic contexts and boosts creation of virtual dynamic
communities. After introducing briefly Kaleidoscope, this article presents the learning GRID concept and several scenarios that this technology makes possible
À propos de la question de la simulation dans l'hypocondrie : étude d'un cas
No full textFrieda Rossel and Colette Merceron, The question of malingering in hypocondria.
In this article, the authors discuss the difference established by the DSM between malingering and factitious disorders and analyse a case of suspicious malingering based upon projective techniques and deterioration tests by a subject claiming to suffer from somatic and also amnesic troubles. The psychological exam puts into evidence a psychotic structure of paranoic nature.

L'examen psychologique met en évidence une structure psychotique de nature paranoïaque.
