For those who study it, nonlocality is the mother of all physics riddles, implicated in a broad cross section of the mysteries that physicists confront these days—not just the weirdness of quantum particles but also the fate of black holes, the origin of the cosmos and the essential unity of nature. 4, record 1, English, - quantum%20nonlocality

Il existe une tension connue entre la théorie quantique et la relativité, car les effets quantiques ne permettent pas d'envoyer des messages plus vite que la lumière, mais sont juste à la frontière de cette possibilité. C'est ce qu'on appelle souvent la non-localité quantique. 1, record 1, French, - non%2Dlocalit%C3%A9%20quantique

The method used in the present study allows us to propose different alternatives of dike profiles. Alternatives have been selected with respect to the wave conditions and to economical considerations. The best profile is defined as a berm dike with a trapezoidal cross section. It is a permeable rocky structure. 1, record 2, English, - berm%20dike

L’intérêt fondamental des digues à berme est d’autoriser une réduction significative de la taille des blocs de carapace et, dans une certaine mesure, de permettre une conception de l’ouvrage adaptée aux matériaux disponibles à proximité du site de construction. [...] Ce type de digue s’est largement répandu depuis les années 80 avec plus de 60 réalisations répertoriées dans le monde, accompagnées de la publication de nombreux travaux théoriques, expérimentaux et retours d’expériences. Les références existantes montrent que les digues à berme sont adaptées à des conditions de site difficiles, comparables à celles du port de Roscoff en termes de profondeur d’eau et de caractéristiques de houle. 3, record 2, French, - digue%20%C3%A0%20berme

La démarche proposée par cette présente étude a permis d'établir plusieurs propositions de profils en fonction des paramètres hydrodynamiques et des critères économiques. Il en résulte que le profil idéal est une digue trapézoïdale munie d'une berme et composée d'un enrochement de blocs de basalte de poids compris entre 700 kg (revêtement) et 3.5 kg (corps). 2, record 2, French, - digue%20%C3%A0%20berme
