Les processus de dégradation et préservation des ressources naturelles s’accompagnent souvent tensions conflits entre les acteurs territoires. Le cadre services écosystémiques (SE) est désormais communément utilisé pour analyser ces penser termes d’une meilleure gouvernance. Nous développons ici l’idée impertinente selon laquelle l’intégration du concept très contesté disservice écosystémique (...

Distributed Software Engineering (DSE) concepts in Computer Science (or Engineering) Degrees are commonly introduced using a hands-on approach mainly consisting in teaching a distributed and component-based technology platform (as Java Enterprise Edition or Microsoft .NET) and proposing the students to develop a small distributed software application with it. Though this approach provides some ...

BACKGROUND We sought to investigate the use of a new parameter, the projected effective orifice area (EOAproj) at normal transvalvular flow rate (250 mL/s), to better differentiate between truly severe (TS) and pseudo-severe (PS) aortic stenosis (AS) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). Changes in various parameters of stenosis severity have been used to differentiate between TS and...

Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is one of the major regulators of eosinophilic granulocytes in vivo. IL-5 exerts its pleiotropic effects by binding to the IL-5 receptor, which is composed of an IL-5-specific alpha chain and a common betac chain shared with the receptors for IL-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Previous studies have shown that binding of IL-5 to its receptor triggers ...

The sulfated polysaccharide dermatan sulfate (DS) forms proteoglycans with a number of distinct core proteins. Iduronic acid-containing domains in DS have a key role in mediating the functions of DS proteoglycans. Two tissue-specific DS epimerases, encoded by DSE and DSEL, and a GalNAc-4-O-sulfotransferase encoded by CHST14 are necessary for the formation of these domains. CHST14 mutations were...

In the cerebellum, retrograde release of glutamate (Glu) by Purkinje cells (PCs) participates in the control of presynaptic neurotransmitter release responsible for the late component of depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE), as well as for depolarization-induced potentiation of inhibition (DPI). It might also participate in the depolarization-induced slow current (DISC) in PCs...

Objective: To assess the accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and the optimal dose of dobutamine to detect myocardial viability in patients with ischaemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction who are taking β blockers, using the recovery of function six months artery revascularisation as the benchmark. Patients: 17 patients with ischaemic LV dysfunction (ejection fraction < 40%) an...

Over more than a century there has been debate about the interactions of kangaroos and introduced domestic stock, especially sheep, in the semi-arid and arid rangelands. The potential for competition between the species is still controversial, with pastoralists generally assuming that exploitative competition is a continuing feature of the rangelands, with competition by kangaroos leading to re...

OBJECTIVE To examine an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) compared with diabetes support and education (DSE) on 4-year change in fitness and physical activity (PA), and to examine the effect of change in fitness and PA, adjusting for potential confounders, on glycemic control in the Look AHEAD Trial. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects were overweight/obese adults with type 2 diabetes m...
