Plus que des cadavres, moins que des fantômes by Gregory Delaplace

“…En effet, si saisir la « culture » consiste à faire apparaître plus que des corps immobiles sur l’image, ce qui nécessite la mise en place de dispositifs complexes permettant de capturer leur présence devant l’objectif, les premiers ethnographes sont soucieux de ne pas trop en faire non plus, car la « culture » est censée se manifester d’une façon plus subtile que les fantômes révélés par la photographie spirite. …”

Interpolation-Based Modeling Methodology for Efficient Aeroelastic Control of a Folding Wing by Chengyu Yue, Yonghui Zhao

“…The aeroelastic model of a folding wing varies with different configurations, so it actually represents a parameter-varying system. Firstly, a new approach based on interpolation of local models is proposed to generate the linear parameter-varying model of a folding wing. …”
