"Evidence-based medicine” approaches began to be formalized in the early 1990s to promote a conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in decision-making on care for individual patients. These approaches were subsequently extended to other spheres of public decision...

L’article cherche à analyser l’origine de la très grande disparité des estimations du célibat en milieu agricole dans la littérature scientifique française en s’intéressant à la construction statistique et sociologique de ce phénomène. Les différences de définition de la...

<alinea/> From the early 1990s ?evidence-based medicine? (EBM) was formalized to promote the most judicious use possible of available knowledge by practitioners, the word ?evidence? referring simultaneously to factual evidence, empirical corroboration, and proof.

We investigate a gravitational system in dimension one, started from some "uniform" random initial data. In Section 2, a connection is established with the additive coalescent. An hydrodynamic limit is obtained in Section 3 and it suggests a new construction of the standard additive coalescent....

The solutions of Burgers equation with white noise initial velocity are closely connected to the convex hull of a Brownian excursion with parabolic drift . We derive from the law of the minimum [sigma] and the location [eta] of the minimum of s|-2es/s(1-s) a complete description of the convex...

[paper in French]This paper aims to understand the disparity of the estimations of farmer’s celibacy through many French scientific publications. This inquiry has been focused on the statistical and sociological construction of celibacy and agriculture. The differences in the definition of...
