FWC said Marshal stopped to assist the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) with a vehicle accident at MM 93 in the northbound lane Marshal saw a vessel on a trailer heading north matching the description of the striking vessel he had been looking for earlier that day. Marshal followed the vessel in tow and found the vessel to have a faulty brake light Marshal found that the trailer tag was also expired Marshal conducted a vehicle stop at MM 99 and approached the vehicle to tell the driver why he stopped him FWC said Marshal noticed damage to the vessel consistent with the accident at Robbie’s Marina. was arrested and taken to the Plantation Key Jail Get Keys Weekly delivered right to your inbox along with a daily dose of Keys News an environmental science and electrical engineering major has won a Fulbright Scholarship to research “hybrid-supercapacitors” —a new form of energy storage with potential benefits for renewable energy—in the Paris suburb of Cachan in France Wang has spent his SCU years developing and exploring his passion for the environment and honing his engineering talent towards sustainable endeavors he hopes to combine the two to develop technologies to combat climate change and create sustainable and reliable energy and food solutions for people in developing nations “This is an incredible opportunity to explore the societal implications of technology and make a difference,” said Wang “I have so many professors and mentors to thank for helping me combine engineering and environmental science the way I envisioned Environmental science gave me the fuel to continue pursuing engineering by providing context to different problems and electrical engineering enables me to come up with technological solutions to help address them.” Last summer through Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship’s Global Social Benefit Fellowship program he conducted action research in Zambia with VITALITE a social enterprise that distributes solar-powered products to the poor He has conducted research with the School of Engineering’s Latimer Energy Lab and mapped the effects of high-density traffic areas on residential health as part of the inaugural class of SCU Mapping Health Scholars He is chair of the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and chair of the STEM Advisory Representative Committee He is currently an intern at the Center for Sustainability and has also interned at Burns & McDonnell He is a tour guide for the School of Engineering and has served as a dorm counselor for the Summer Engineering Seminar which helps high school students unfamiliar with engineering learn more about it he won a scholarship from the PES Scholarship Plus Initiative from the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) a leading provider of information on power and energy for the betterment of humanity Industry and academic representatives select scholarship recipients who are high achievers with great potential to make an impact across the power and energy industry He also was awarded an internship and educational scholarship from Silicon Valley Power (SVP) sponsored by the American Public Power Association’s Demonstration of Energy and Efficiency Development program to assess and improve the efficiency of the distribution grid in Santa Clara.

However, scientific police can find it difficult to make use of such fingerprints when they are too light or their contrast is too low. When someone places their finger on an object, they leave behind a trace composed of water, salts, fats, amino acids, and, potentially, DNA the most widely used technique is fuming (spraying a substance in the atmosphere of an airtight enclosure) of a cyanoacrylate compound best known as "Super Glue." This reacts with the elements present in the fingerprint and polymerizes leaving a white deposit that technicians can then photograph and analyze this technique can at times entail certain difficulties when the fingerprint support is of light color the contrast with the fingerprint is too low to be photographed the deposit will be too tenuous to obtain an exploitable image crime scene investigators can opt for a second treatment using a colorant this post-treatment poses several problems The products in question are toxic and carcinogenic and have to be used in a fume cupboard whose cost is usually beyond the means of most police stations this process can require up to 48 hours and can degrade the fingerprints through leaching which in most cases compromises the sampling of DNA numerous chemists have been trying for the past three decades to come up with a product allowing fluorescent fingerprints to be detected directly The newly developed Lumicyano allows this with the use of a conventional cyanoacrylate; to manage this the researchers combined cyanoacrylate with a molecule of the tetrazine family the smallest fluorescent colorants known to date Tetrazine molecules are fumed along with the cyanoacrylate onto the fingerprint support and adhere to the deposit using a simple UV lamp or forensic lighting techniques; the fluorescent traces are visible and can be photographed Lumicyano does not destroy the DNA that can sometimes be extracted from fingerprints The product will be presented at the forthcoming Worldwide Internal State Security Exhibition (Milipol scheduled for 19-22 November 2013 in Paris Nord Villepinte John Wallace was with Laser Focus World for nearly 25 years He obtained a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and physics at Rutgers University and a master's in optical engineering at the University of Rochester www.ehl.edu The observer’s role in quantum mechanics has been confirmed to be very weird indeed Researchers in France have finally carried out John Wheeler’s famous “delayed choice” thought experiment in which the intent is to determine exactly when photons decide to act like particles or waves; the experiment relies on a single-photon source developed for quantum-cryptography experiments The particle/wave debate in quantum mechanics has raised the specter of the observer as an inherent part of the act of measurement and lured the philosophically minded physicist John Wheeler to ask: does a photon know it’s being watched he proposed a variation on the famed Young’s double-slit experiment in which the decision to observe wave or particle behavior is made after the photon has passed the slits Several attempts have been made over the years to carry out the thought experiment but complications have arisen largely in the search for a sufficiently stable single-photon source Alain Aspect and Philippe Grangier at the Laboratoire Charles Fabry de l’Institut d’Optique (Paris France) have been working on such sources since the 1980s for similar single-photon interference work they joined Jean-François Roch and colleagues at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (Cachan The team’s single-photon source is the fluorescence provided by optically pumping a single nitrogen vacancy inside a diamond nanocrystal which is bound in a spin-coated polymer on a dielectric mirror In contrast to the more common downconversion or attenuation approaches to single-photon production the fluorescence-based source is extremely stable and leaves no doubt that just one photon is available for experimenting The source is ideal for quantum cryptography but clearly lends itself to more fundamental research “This is one of the most fascinating quantum states of light that you can imagine,” Roch says “We had the idea that it was worth using this amazingly stable source for revisiting the single-photon-interference experiments to realize Wheeler’s gedanken experiment.” The experiment uses a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (see figure) at the end of which is an output beamsplitter and an electro-optic modulator (EOM).1 In the absence of a voltage applied to the EOM the arrival of a photon at either detector clearly indicates the photon’s path within the interferometer the paths effectively recombine and it is impossible to know which path the photon took the detectors register an interference pattern Wheeler’s experiment is realized because the decision to apply a voltage to the EOM is made when the photon is already midway through a path of some 48 m between the input and output beamsplitters That choice is made by a quantum random-number generator that measures the shot noise on a white-light source; positive and negative values of the noise serve as a digital on/off for the EOM the decision to look for waves or particles influences the behavior of the photon in the past The result-quantum-mechanically unsurprising but until now unattempted-is that the experimental photon acts as a particle when the beamsplitter is not active but as a wave when the beamsplitter is active; it doesn’t matter that the beamsplitter is activated or deactivated after the photon “chooses” its character “This is a beautiful example of quantum strangeness,” says Marlan Scully a professor at both Princeton and Texas A&M University with a long history in quantum-optics experiments “The photon cannot ‘know’ if the beamsplitter is in place or not-the choice of wave-like (beamsplitter in) or particle-like (beamsplitter out) is made well after the light pulse has left the input beamsplitter.” but considers such affirmations of quantum mechanics inherently useful our ordinary images fail at one point or another,” he says “Pointing out exactly where they fail is always very useful and stimulating.” Jason Palmer is a freelance writer based in Florence August 2: Excelia acquires the premises of its Paris site thereby securing a fourth campus of its own with the aim of contributing to Excelia’s development strategy in the French capital This real estate transaction is an integral part of the group’s strategic plan and it is envisaged that some 1,500 learners will be studying on the Paris-Cachan campus within the next 3 years This acquisition represents an investment of €25 million Just one year after inaugurating its Paris operations on the campus of aivancity in Paris-Cachan The building boasts a total floor area of some 4,000m² This acquisition provides Excelia with a Paris-based site its 4th very own campus to complement those in La Rochelle As one of the most technologically connected campuses in France Excelia’s Paris site has been designed to offer a unique learning experience Its innovative layout fosters discussion and sharing This experiential learning environment is at the heart of the Paris-Cachan higher education hub which brings together several major schools including the EPF School of Engineering. students benefit from a comprehensive range of services (CROUS A strong base for Excelia’s development in Paris This new campus for Excelia is part of the group’s drive to accelerate its development in the French capital the objective is to welcome 1,500 learners within the next 3 years Excelia’s development is centred on 3 key areas: The introduction of new programmes – these will complement Excelia Business School’s BBA programme which was launched in the capital in 2020 Additional programmes to be launched on the new campus: there will be 4 Masters of Science: Luxury & Creative Industries Management as well as Excelia Tourism School’s Bachelor in Tourism and Hospitality Management in its entirety Accelerating Excelia’s international dimension – the Paris campus will increase Excelia’s visibility and its appeal to international students Establishing Paris as a recognised campus not only in terms of the ecological transition but also in the field of technology – with this in mind aside from Excelia’s long-standing commitment to the ecological transition from which all the programmes benefit to be offered on the campus) stand out for their intrinsic ‘sustainable’ dimension Excelia is pursuing its approach of skills hybridisation This is supported by the development of close partnerships with the schools on the Paris-Cachan hub in particular through the imminent implementation of a framework agreement with EPF Excelia’s application to join the Alliance for Science and Technology as well as continued collaboration with aivancity A determination to continue working actively with aivancity Excelia will continue to work with aivancity with the two schools collaborating academically both through their programmes and in the field of research The first tangible evidence of this will be the organisation of the 4th Edition of the International Research Day on Artificial Intelligence (JIRIA) on Excelia’s Paris campus will be held on 16th & 17th May 2024 “With the acquisition of our own premises within this rapidly expanding higher education hub Excelia is once again demonstrating its clear ambitions for expansion in Paris These ambitions are in line with our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan in particular the desire to develop a range of educational programmes that meet the needs of the businesses of tomorrow and the objective of boosting the group’s international dimension This acquisition also attests to Excelia’s determination to drive forward its development plans: in less than 3 years the group has established three campuses of its very own and now Paris.” says Bruno

However, the city and its surrounding suburbs (or banlieues) make up the region of Île-de-France This consists of eight administrative departments Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne, Val-de-Marne, Val-d’Oise According to statistics from 2020, 19% of the population of metropolitan France live within Île-de-France making it the most populated region in the country demographics vary significantly throughout the departments Seine-Saint-Denis in the northeast and Val-d’Oise in the northwest were formerly industrial and working-class zones the southern department of Essonne and the western department of Yvelines are predominantly inhabited by the upper class reputations also vary from suburb to suburb and Maisons-Laffitte are known to be some of the most affluent and desirable areas in Paris are also considered to be ‘unsafe’ while other residential areas like Fontenay-aux-Roses To give you more of an overview of the Paris suburbs below is a summary of some of the most popular ones to live in among the expat community Situated just 14km from the center of Paris, Chatou is a family-friendly suburb with many green spaces, making it the perfect location for those looking to escape the bustling city and enjoy some nature. However, although it is only a 15-minute commute with the RER line A meaning that many residents (or Catoviens) choose to own cars and houses usually have parking Chatou is perhaps best known for its Ile des Impressionistes (Island of Impressionists) which is located in the Seine River and got its name due to its popularity among multiple 19th-century artists such as Monet and Renoir and open woodland where visitors can relax and enjoy nature Art is still an important part of life in Chatou, and it hosts multiple art, music, and antique festivals every year, including the Chatou Island Festival and the National Antique Fair Whether you are single and looking to move to Paris for work, or you are a parent with young children seeking peace and quiet the rest of the town continues with its daily routine While Versailles may be more suited to working people and families, students might find themselves more drawn to Orsay. The university town is located 20km southwest of Paris, with a direct train providing easy access to the capital. The RER B is the cheapest option for those who commute daily and it takes around 30 minutes to reach the Cité Universitaire stop Orsay offers a mix of affordable apartments and family homes with gardens with a two-bedroom apartment costing between €1,000 and €2,100 per month these prices vary yearly depending on inflation The suburb provides ample green space, with the Bois de la Cyprenne – a small forest inside the city – offering a scenic escape from the hustle and bustle. Osary also boasts a variety of entertainment, including lectures and exhibitions at the Musée d’Orsay Those who love nightlife will also enjoy the various bars and restaurants in the student quarters. it can take up to an hour to reach the city by car or even longer during peak times. although all that remains are outbuildings Another attraction is the Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud racecourse, where the Saint-Cloud Grand Prix takes place every year. Rock music lovers might also find themselves in this suburb when the annual Rock en Seine festival comes to town Saint-Germain-en-Laye is a quintessential French town that embraces a diverse and multicultural community. Located 15km west of Paris, the suburb is most suited to expat families, and is home to Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye; one of the top international schools in France which features beautiful gardens and a panoramic view of western Paris All of this is only 20 minutes away from the capital, with multiple bus routes and local trains on the RER A line connecting the two Located 7km northwest of Paris, in the department of Hauts-de-Seine, Neuilly-sur-Seine is one of the most expensive cities in France with rental prices exceeding €12,000 per square meter those looking to rent or buy in the area will need to have a hefty budget Although it is close to Paris, the suburb is relatively quiet and primarily residential with many family homes and multiple parks attracting expats with children. It is also home to Marymount and offers easy access to other international schools in the neighboring 16th arrondissement. which attract thousands of tourists each year Commuting to the center of Paris is an easy 20-minute metro trip or a half-hour drive for those who are brave enough to face the city’s infamous traffic. There are also multiple buses and local rail connections that provide easy access to the rest of the country Situated in the affluent department of Yvelines, Croissy-sur-Seine is particularly attractive to expats due to its strong English-speaking community and the fact that it is home to the British School of Paris; one of the best international schools in France Similar to other popular suburbs, Croissy-sur-Seine is well connected to Paris, with the RER A line taking around 20 minutes which is ideal for those looking to commute Nogents-sur-Marne is a charming commuter town that lies 10km east of Paris on the River Marne. The suburb offers convenient access to the Bois de Vincennes which features several lakes The River Marne is also a popular destination for swimming and rowing enthusiasts those surrounding Paris are diverse in terms of demographics While some are known for their excellent amenities it might not be the most suitable place to live for those with children it is important to do your research and ask for recommendations from local expat groups to ensure that it is a safe and desirable place to live Martina has been living abroad for almost ten years She moved to the Netherlands to pursue her master’s and later kickstarted her career in marketing although her passion for writing never left so she decided to freelance and follow her love for storytelling and sharing stories with the world Study Inspired by 2010 Tsunami Yields Findings That Fly in the Face of Generations of Common Wisdom Contact: Robert Perkins at (213) 740-9226 or perkinsr@usc.edu A long-held belief that offshore islands protect the mainland from tsunamis turns out to be the exact opposite of the truth Common wisdom — from Southern California to the South Pacific — for coastal residents and scientists alike has long been that offshore islands would create a buffer that blocked the power of a tsunami computer modeling of tsunamis striking a wide variety of different offshore island geometries yielded no situation in which the mainland behind them fared better increasing flooding on the mainland by up to 70 percent “This is where many fishing villages are located in the belief that they will be protected from wind waves Even Southern California residents believe that the Channel Islands and Catalina will protect them,” said Costas Synolakis of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering a member of the multinational team that conducted the research The research was inspired by a field survey of the impact of the 2010 tsunami on the Mentawai Islands off of Sumatra The survey data showed that villages located in the shadow of small offshore islets suffered some of the strongest tsunami impacts worse than villages located along open coasts Subsequent computer modeling by Jose Borrero adjunct assistant research professor at the USC Viterbi Tsunami Research Center showed that the offshore islands had actually contributed to — not diminished — the tsunami’s impact Synolakis then teamed up with researchers Emile Contal and Nicolas Vayatis of Ecoles Normales de Cachan in Paris; and Themistoklis S who both have joint appointments at Ecoles Normales de Cachan and University College Dublin to determine whether that was a one-of-a-kind situation of which Dias was the corresponding author was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A on Nov The team designed a computer model that took into consideration various island slopes “Even a casual analysis of these factors would have required hundreds of thousands of computations each of which could take up to half a day,” Synolakis said Machine learning is a mathematical process that makes it easier to identify the maximum values of interdependent processes with multiple parameters by allowing the computer to “learn” from previous results The computer starts to understand how various tweaks to the parameters affect the overall outcome and finds the best answer quicker results that traditionally could have taken hundreds of thousands of models to uncover were found with 200 models “This work is applicable to some of our tsunami study sites in New Zealand,” said Borrero who is producing tsunami hazard maps for regions of the New Zealand coast “The northeast coast of New Zealand has many small islands offshore and our modeling suggests that this results in areas of enhanced tsunami heights.” “Substantial public education efforts are needed to help better explain to coastal residents tsunami hazards and whenever they need to be extra cautious and responsive with evacuations during actual emergencies,” Synolakis said The research was funded by EDSP of ENS-Cachan; the Cultural Service of the French Embassy in Dublin; the ERC; SFI; University College Dublin; and the EU FP7 program ASTARTE.

I would prefer to be classified as an experimentalist ‘I would prefer to be classified as an experimentalist.’ Does he think the art bureaucracy he so distrusted has improved since ‘The situation is worse,’ he responds categorically ‘Artists don’t have a say in the decision-making process The market is practically the only system that gives value to contemporary creation we need to find new ways of assigning value institutions internationally adhere to that system.’ We’ll have to see if such a paradigm shift becomes conceivable in the post-pandemic era This is an extended version of an article originally featured in the May 2020 issue of Wallpaper* (W*254) – on newsstands now and available for free download here escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox perrotin.com What: The Pierre Hardy 101 sneakers from the Poworama capsule collection Who: Pierre Hardy has been designing shoes under his own name for 20 years The Parisian-born Hardy graduated from L’Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan with a degree in plastic arts he eventually got a job at Dior designing shoes but eventually designing the men’s collections as well Hardy launched his eponymous label in ’99 In 2001 the French luxury house appointed him creative director of the fine jewelry and “Haute Bijouterie” collections Why: This update on Hardy’s 101 sneaker is part of the Poworama capsule collection inspired by the Summer 2012 Collector Poworama sneaker The original shoe paid tribute to the Pop Art movement of the ’60s and Roy Lichtenstein in particular This version of the 101 knocks the theme out of the park with distinct graphic elements and a lot of fun an explosion of joy and lightness,” says Hardy “This collection is full of dynamism Where: Pierrehardy.com Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on all the latest fashion news and juicy industry gossip document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "afb916ca57500827c8ae472c03b149fa" );document.getElementById("d628b68082").setAttribute( "id" and website in this browser for the next time I comment GET OUR HAUTEST STORIES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX - Could you tell us about collaborative research in which you’ve been involved - How would you explain the difference between the research systems in France and Japan One typical feature of the public research structure in France is the UMRs (Unités Mixte de Recherché which are units resulting from the association of research organizations such as CNRS and institutions of higher education such as universities multiple universities and research bodies cooperate by providing research budgets one UMR has several full professors or equivalent level staff and the system is different from the Japanese academic chair system Another difference is that in most cases in France a student starts research in the last semester of his or her second year of their master's course and carries out research full time in the laboratory once they are enrolled in the doctoral course they immediately start to engage in research work on a full-time daily basis as a member of a laboratory many French researchers are thus impressed by the number of students in the laboratories and some of them would like the French students to start laboratory work from an earlier stage master’s students have research training for three to four months during the first year of their master’s course This training is not necessarily carried out in their university and recently an increasing number of students are going abroad for this research periods in foreign laboratories were introduced and in many departments students are required to have international experience of this kind about 70 percent of the master’s students go on toward doctoral degrees - How do you see the current situation at French universities when they apply for outside funding Could you give some examples from your experience a federation gathering 19 research and higher education institutions Along with partners such as Universite Paris-Sud and École Polytechnique ENS Cachan is now on the way to transfer school buildings into the Saclay area by 2018 doctoral and master's degrees are cooperatively conducted within and granted by Université Paris-Saclay extensive financial resources through means such as IDEX ("Initiative of Excellence") and LABEX ("Laboratory of Excellence") were granted making collaboration within the federation possible and deepening the relationships between the partner institutions so that they may gather their forces As a major part of the French research and higher education policy these federations are developed on a nationwide scale Considered the " backbone " of the Grand Paris Express, line 14 was extended to the north and south on June 24 Orly airport can now be reached from Saint-Denis Pleyel in just 40 minutes As work continues on the 60 or so new stations, Société des grands projets is taking advantage of the European Heritage Days to open the doors of 8 of them to the general public to discover the construction sites of 8 Grand Paris Express stations the Le Bourget Aéroport station and the eagerly-awaited La Courneuve Six-Routes station as well as architectural and artistic activities in the heart of the stations Please note that tours of each station are free of charge and do not require registration " on-site reception will be subject to availability " and " mediation will be carried out in groups of around 20 people " Find the full program here And that's not all, as Société des grands projets is also opening the doors of La Fabrique du métro for the European Heritage Days for a free program of activities for young and old alike self-guided tours of the museum and a wooden construction playground
