In the last few years there has been an increasing interest in using traditional animal breeding techniques to improve important traits such as growth rate in freshwater crayfish. However, a major impediment to such programs is an inability to reliably identify individuals or family groups for long periods because of the non-retention of external tags through ecdysis.

Environmental impact assessment of goods and services is nowadays a major challenge for both economic and ethical reasons. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a wellaccepted methodology for modelling environmental impacts of human activities. One stage of the LCA methodology is Life Cycle Inventory (LCI), which consists of decomposing economic activities as elementary processes linked together...

Those of us who take an essentially Keynesian view in macroeconomics are often accused, somewhat unjustly, I believe, of minimizing the importance of monetary forces. That contention was probably true 20 years ago for a variety of historical and institutional reasons. But much water has passed over the dam since that time, and I believe it would now be difficult to find an example of the popula...

but it has also involved a narrowing of the perspective. Few subjects more certainly demand an international perspective than war. To mention only a couple of facts that support this remark, let me remind the reader that: (1) as the aggressive interpretation of Darwinism was often presented as a typical German craze, something more should have been said on Germany at least; (2) there were natio...

The effect of hydration on the vertical ionization energy (VIE) of thymine was characterized using equation-of-motion ionization potential coupled-cluster (EOM-IP-CCSD) and effective fragment potential (EFP) methods. We considered several microsolvated clusters as well as thymine solvated in bulk water. The VIE in bulk water was computed by averaging over solvent-solute configurations obtained ...

" Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value " Albert Einstein appris à être sérieuse, persévérante, intègre, attentive aux opportunités de la vie et qui m'ont toujours encouragée à partir et faire mes choix professionnels.

Nous proposons dans cet article un modèle de trajectoire sémantique qui supporte une certaine complexité dans la représentation des trajectoires. Nous considérons ainsi que la trajectoire est composée de multiples aspects qui constituent autant de perspectives selon lesquelles il est possible de l’observer. Nous permettons par ailleurs la représentation de facteurs explicatifs ayant influencé l...

Nous vous présentons cet article montrant le coeur d'un enfant de 11 ans bien portant sur plan physique et psychique, présentant une duplication totale bien segmentée du ventricule droit et de l'oreillette droite par un anneau issu de la duplication de l'anneau tricuspidien. Cette malformation a été découverte dans le cadre d'investigation des douleurs thoraciques atypiques. Nous n'avons pas re...

Résumé. Les développements récents en tarification de l’assurance non-vie se concentrent majoritairement sur la maîtrise et l’amélioration des Modèles Linéaires Généralisés. Performants, ces modèles imposent cependant à la fois des contraintes sur la structure du risque modélisé et sur les interactions entre variables explicatives du risque. Ces restrictions peuvent conduire, dans certaines sou...
