- From the first earthquakes to the eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise, a shield volcano on the eastern side of Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean, the extraordinary adventure of a team of vulcanologists led by Jean-Louis Cheminée.
- Nutrition in poor countries, is essentially based on the consumption of legumes, such as beans, whose rich in protein and vitamins can compensate for the lack of animal protein. Legumes are unfortunately decimated by pests such as weevils, as insecticides do not reach the favorable stage of development. The film shows how important it is to know in detail the life cycle of weevils to seek effective means of control.
- Microscopic observation of original etchings and engravings produced experimentally to demonstrate that the sequences of lines in Azilian pebbles (10 000-8 000 BC. J.C.) were made very quickly and by the same tool. This refutes the hypothesis that they are among other calendars. These objects seem rather have symbolic meaning inherited from the cultural world of the Upper Paleolithic.
- In the Shadow of the drawer - Eco-epidemiology of Chagas disease Chagas disease, a typical case of vector disease ravaging the entire South American continent. Refusing to stick only to a bio medical approach, a multidisciplinary research team has developed a comprehensive method of studying this disease. This is for her to identify and assess the importance of all parameters involved in the process of infection to define the appearance of risk areas and understand the conditions under which the triatomine vector of the disease, even its natural wild habitat to settle into homes and transmit the disease to humans. The film offers a series of preventive actions and a reflection on the responsibility of man in his actions to amend the dynamic equilibrium of ecosystems.
- Despite its familiarity, the concept of time raises many difficulties whose number grows as we attempt to analyze it. For example, it is very difficult to define the time. However, physicists have managed to make time an operative concept. - What time is? Time is first an indefinable word. - Does time exist? What kind of existence we attribute to him? - How to compare, oppose, objective time and subjective time? - The time he runs evenly? Compared to What does it flows? Has it an original? Will it end? Is it reversible? Is it cyclical or linear? - The arrow of time, second law of thermodynamics, entropy - The relativistic revolution duration are not absolute, the concept of simultaneity between two events loses its meaning. - General relativity, gravitation theory: space-time couples to matter and energy. Problem of the origin of time. - The fact of operating a measurement on a quantum system he introduced irreversibility? - Can the particles back in time?
- Excavations at the Pataud shelter and the surrounding sites in the late 50s by the American professor Hallam Movius can trace human evolution over the past 15 000 years of occupation, between 35 000 and 18 000 years Our era. This constant human settlement, from Neanderthals to Magdalenians, tracks the progress in the lithic and bone industry and the birth of an artistic expression that will find its fulfillment in the Magdalenian. real views of the site, tools, drawings, animations and drawings by reconstruction of habitats and landscapes.
- What will be in the future the life in the planet Earth?. Cyborgs, robots, implants...a fantasy of the science-fiction movies?. Maybe not.
- Lost in the middle of the Southern Ocean, under the 40th roaring, the Crozet archipelago is home to three million king penguins, half of the world population. Unlike most high sea birds, this species is expanding. Yet all stages of the reproductive cycle are as many events to overcome. The film follows these steps: research and recognition of a partner from thousands of similar spot shortages, weather, predators, lack of food in winter, considerable mortality in chicks. Even in these most isolated islands in the world, the answer lies in the imbalance caused by man and king penguins are only regain their original numbers.
- When it comes to circulate a liquid at high speed in low pressure conditions, there is vapor bubbles formations, a virtually inescapable phenomenon that erodes facilities, limits the performance and causes noise and very annoying vibration. EDF, the Directorate General for Armaments, some industry leading research together to address an often forgotten cavitation by manufacturers when designing a facility ..
- With few hundred Magdalenian representations painted, drawn and engraved, the cave of Font-de-Gaume remains a major Paleolithic parietal sites. The analysis of the thematic and symbolic organization reveals the spectacular dominance of bison along the main axis of the network and the pervasiveness of tectiform sign to the bottom of the galleries. This geometric sign is distinctive of Font-de-Gaume and three other neighboring Magdalenian caves.
