"Où que vous parliez, il y a toujours quelqu’un pour se vanter d’en faire plus ou d’en avoir fait plus sans jamais se plaindre. Des courageux, des solides, des vrais hommes. Ceux-lŠ ont un rond de serviette sur les plateaux de télévision. On les invite car ils donnent de si jolies leçons de courage au peuple.
Car il ne suffit pas d’être harassé. Il faut l’être avec le sourire, en ravalant ses mots."

Ils sont épuisés (mais il paraît qu'ils ne travaillent pas encore assez)
Les gens sont épuisés. C’est ce que je constate, à longueur d’année, en consultation. Ils courent après le temps, jonglent avec les plannings des uns et des autres. Leur vie est un Tetris permanent. Ils arrivent épuisés en consultation. Le fauteuil tremble sous leur poids. Parfois, il leur faut de longues minutes pour atterrir.

Adaptive Network Selection for Latency-Aware V2X Systems under Varying Network and Vehicle Densities
This paper presents ANS-V2X, an Adaptive Network Selection framework tailored for latency-aware V2X systems operating under varying vehicle densities and heterogeneous network conditions. Modern vehicular environments demand low-latency and high-throughput communication, yet real-time network selection is hindered by diverse application requirements and the coexistence of multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs) such as 4G, 5G, and ad hoc links. ANS-V2X employs a heuristic-driven approach to a…

Lifespan Pancreas Morphology for Control vs Type 2 Diabetes using AI on Largescale Clinical Imaging
Purpose: Understanding how the pancreas changes is critical for detecting deviations in type 2 diabetes and other pancreatic disease. We measure pancreas size and shape using morphological measurements from ages 0 to 90. Our goals are to 1) identify reliable clinical imaging modalities for AI-based pancreas measurement, 2) establish normative morphological aging trends, and 3) detect potential deviations in type 2 diabetes. Approach: We analyzed a clinically acquired dataset of 2533 patients …

A Note on Helicoidal Singular Minimal Surfaces
Let $α\in\r$ and let $\vec{v}\in\r^3$ be a unit vector. A singular minimal surface $Σ$ in Euclidean space is a surface $Σ$ whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies $H=α\frac{\langle N,\vec{v}\rangle}{\langle p,\vec{v}\rangle}$, where $N$ is the unit normal vector of $Σ$. In this short note we study singular minimal surfaces which are invariant by a one-parameter group of helicoidal motions. We prove that if $Σ$ is a helicoidal singular minimal surface, then the axis of the helicoidal motion is …
