Dynamique et contrôle optique des molécules froides

Le travail theorique presente dans cette these concerne la formation de molecules ultra-froides bialcalines et le controle de leurs degres de liberte externes et internes. Cette etude est motivee par les nombreuses experiences en cours visant a l'obtention d'un gaz quantique degenere de molecules dans leur etat fondamental absolu. Le schema de formation etudie repose sur le processus de transfert adiabatique stimule (STIRAP) realise en presence d'un potentiel optique de piegeage (reseau optique) des atomes et des molecules.Nous avons determine les parametres du reseau optique (intensite et frequence du champ laser) qui permettent de pieger efficacement des dimeres d'alcalins en evaluant la polarisabilite dynamique acquise par les molecules soumises a un champ externe. Ces calculs reposent en particulier sur la connaissance detaillee de la structure electronique des molecules. Nous avons identifie des plages de longueur d'ondes dites « magiques » ou la polarisabilite est la meme pour chaque niveau peuple au cours du transfert adiabatique, permettant ainsi un transfert optimal. Ce formalisme nous a egalement permis d'obtenir les coefficients Van der Waals de l'interaction a longue portee necessaires pour etudier les taux de collisions entre molecules.Nous avons realise une etude plus detaillee de la molecule RbCs. En etudiant precisement la probabilite de transition de la molecule vers un niveau excite, nous avons propose un schema STIRAP pour transferer des molecules de RbCs, initialement dans un niveau vibrationnel excite, vers leur etat rovibrationnel fondamental.Ces travaux ont montre l'importance de la connaissance precise de la structure hyperfine de l'etat electronique moleculaire excite pour realiser un gaz degenere de molecules dans un etat quantique bien defini. Un modele asymptotique nous a permis d'obtenir une premiere estimation de la structure hyperfine des courbes d'energies potentielles des premiers etats moleculaires excites des molecules Cs2 et RbCs.
Tree species composition and structure of dry forest in Mutis Timau Protected Forest Management Unit of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Almulqu AA, Arpornpong N, Boonyanuphap J. 2018. Tree species composition and structure of dry forest in Mutis Timau Protected Forest Management Unit of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 496-503. Plots 10,000 m2 were established in four sites of Mutis Timau Protected Forest Management Unit (Mutis Timau PFMU), in order (Koonkhunthod 2007)to determine tree species density, basal area, importance value index, species richness and to identify the relationship betwen species richness and abundance of trees. A total of 94 species belonging to 72 genera and 45 families were recorded. Species richness and forest structure were different between sites. Moraceae was the dominant tree family at most sites, particulary for Eucalyptus urophylla. The results suggest controlling the number of species, level on species distribution pattern, silvicultural interventions to pioneer species through thinning liberation, seeding and planting (pioneer species) could accelerate the tree regeneration of Mutis Timau PFMU in Kupang District, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia.
Global Risk and Market Conditions

We test various international asset pricing models with multiple risk factors in a large cross section through time. Despite the cross-sectional variation of our sample countries, the integration hypothesis is supported even when we pool Emerging with Developed Markets. Besides the world market risk which is always significant and robust in all our models, time-varying intertemporal risk is priced alongside exchange rate risk. Yet, disentangling currency and intertemporal risks requires careful analysis when conditional time-variation is introduced, as both risks are likely proxies of the state variables that affect asset prices over time. A model with residual intertemporal risk in addition to the other sources of risk is statistically different from one with only currency risk and delivers a small and insignificant alpha on average and through many of the weeks in our time sample. Across the countries, the fit of the conditional model with multiple risk factors is three times better for Developed Markets than for Emerging Markets.
EFFECT OF RATIONS INCLUSION GUAVA BY-PRODUCTS WITH OR WITHOUT PROBIOTIC ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF GROWING GOAT KIDS

لإhis study aimed to determined effect of guava by-product (GBP) substitution at level 20% of concentrate feed mixtures with or without commercial probiotic (Enviva®PRO) on the performance of growing goat kids. Twenty-four growing Zaraibi male kids weighted 15 kg body weight in average and 7 months old; assigned to three groups (8 in each). Feeding trial lasted for 90 days. Animals were fed clover hay plus CFM (R1), CFM including 20% GBP (R2) or supplemented with probiotic, 5g/h/day (R3). Results showed insignificant differences in most nutrients and fiber fractions digestibilities and TDN values among treatments. Ruminal pH and TVFAs values did not differ significantly among treatments. While, ruminal NH3-N concentrations were significantly (p<0.05) higher with R2 and R3 compared to R1. Results indicated that neither GBP nor probiotic had an adverse impact on goats health which all blood parameters were within the normal range. There were no significant differences among treatments in total and average daily gain. Both R2 and R3 had lower total DM and TDN intake compared to R1. Meanwhile R3 group had the best feed conversion and the highest economical efficiency. It could be concluded that guava by-product (GBP) at level 20% of CFM and probiotic supplementation (5g/h/d) in growing kids goats rations had no adverse effects on productive performance with enhancing in economical efficiency.
TIME MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: PERCEPTIONS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS’ PRINCIPALS IN KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA

This study investigated the perceptions of secondary school principals (SSP) regarding time management practices (TMP) and sought to identify problems in time management in schools. A stratified sample of 344 secondary school principals was selected from seven divisional headquarter districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. For data collection, a questionnaire was developed after review of related literature and previous studies comprising six categories of time management practices(TMP); scheduling contacts, managing meetings, delegation practices, managing paperwork, establishing priorities and handling interruptions- constructed to help (SSP) focus on essential tasks. Results show that heads manage their time in schools frequently by using practices of scheduling contacts, goal setting, planning activities, prioritizing tasks, delegating works to subordinates, managing paperwork, and managing unnecessary interruptions. Main problems that they face regarding time management were poor planning, unnecessary telephone calls, frequent interruptions by visitors, multitask, unscheduled meetings, failure to delegate, dump of papers on desk, do not prioritize tasks, do not make “to-do” list, lack of training, junk mails, and do not know how to say “no” to subordinates. Introductory courses, workshops, seminars should be arranged for in-service principals to equip them with skills, knowledge and attitude on adequate time management practices and prioritizing tasks.
A STUDY ON KNOWLEDGE OF PRIMI MOTHERS ON SELF MANAGEMENT OF MINOR DISCOMFORTS OF PREGNANCY

'A study on knowledge of primi mothers on self-management of minor discomfort of pregnancy with a view to develop information' was carried out in Justice K.S Hegde Charitable hospital on 100 primi-gravida mothers by using purposive sampling technique. The findings of the study showed that 87% of the primi mothers were in the age group of 21 – 30 years, 37% of the women had high school education, 70% of the subjects were Hindus, 77% belonged to joint families and 53% were in the gestational age group of 29 – 40 weeks. Most 59% of the Primigravida mothers had poor knowledge, 29% had average knowledge, and 12% had good knowledge regarding minor discomforts of pregnancy and its self-management. Area wise knowledge of Primigravida mothers reveals deficiency in most of the areas, but the lowest mean percentage of score is 28.25% with a standard deviation of 1.74 in the area of knowledge related to Circulatory and Nervous system, which indicated that the maximum knowledge deficit is in this area. 2 There was significant association between knowledge of Primigravida mothers and age, educational qualification. The calculated ? values were 3.953 and 12.603 respectively which are more than the table value 3.84 and 7.82 at 0.05% level of significance. Hence, the research hypothesis was accepted. The result of the study proved that Primigravida mothers had poor knowledge regarding minor discomforts of pregnancy and its selfmanagement. The findings of the study showed that there was a need to educate all women on preparation towards motherhood. Providing an information booklet on minor discomforts of pregnancy and its management, an uneventful antenatal period can be expected from the mother.
A Comparison of the Tax-Motivated Income Shifting of Multinationals in Territorial and Worldwide Countries

This paper tests for differences in the tax-motivated income shifting behaviors of multinationals subject to different systems of taxing foreign earnings. I find that multinationals subject to territorial tax regimes shift more income than those subject to worldwide tax regimes, but that the difference in shifting is not statistically different when the worldwide firms can defer repatriation of the shifted income. I also find that the difference in shifting is greater when the multinational is cash-constrained in its home country. In additional tests, I find that worldwide firms bear the dead-weight cost of having cash trapped in foreign subsidiaries while territorial firms do not.
The Evolutionary Diversity of Mosses – Taxonomic Heterogeneity and its Ecological Drivers

Abstract Mosses (division Bryophyta) are characterized by the dominance of haploid, poikilohydric gametophytes, and relatively persistent sporophytes that are dependent on the gametophyte generation. Because they are poikilohydric, tend to be desiccation tolerant, and have primarily ectohydric water uptake mechanisms, the ecological requirements of mosses tend to differ from those of vascular plants. We review recent research on phylogenetic relationships and morphological and ecological diversity among mosses. Ancestral character state reconstructions illustrate the evolution of habitat preferences and the relationships between these and morphological variation. These reconstructions reveal the convergent evolution of both epiphytic and aquatic habitat preferences, as well as several reversals from epiphytic to other terrestrial habitats. Morphological character states connected to ectohydry, such as lack of water-conducting stem central strands, may be more prone to adaption driven by environmental conditions, while connections between endohydry and environmental conditions remain ambiguous and require further study. The distribution of the most elaborate endohydric water-conducting structures may be phylogenetically determined rather than resulting from adaptation to habitats. Among the early diverging lineages in the Bryophyta, shifts to cladocarpy may be connected to epiphytic lifestyles. We discuss ecological drivers of aspects of plant architecture including acrocarpous, pleurocarpous and cladocarpous perichaetial positions, and sporophytic reductions, the latter being common in dry, frequently disturbed terrestrial environments and in epiphytic habitats, but also occasionally found in aquatic habitats.
Interplay between Social Media and Traditional Media: A Study in the Motion Picture Industry

Marketers leverage multiple media outlets to promote products. There are three types of media: paid (e.g., advertising on TV), owned (e.g., company website), and earned (e.g., consumers’ word-of-mouth) media. The effects of individual media channels or the interplay between different paid media outlets have been studied by prior literature. However, less is known about the interplay across different media types. We investigate how social media marketing (including both owned and earned media) and the interplay between traditional paid media and social media affect product sales. Since prior studies examining the interaction between different paid media outlets show mixed results (e.g., they find both complementarity and substitution among different outlets), the interaction across media types might also be complex. We hypothesize that product appeal may be a factor that dictates the relationship between media interplay and sales. Specifically, we analyze how promotional activities across different media types influence the box office revenues of 200 movies in their opening weekends and subsequent weeks, respectively. We find that (1) social media marketing is positively associated with product sales. In particular, social earned media appears to affect sales mostly in the initial product launch period; (2) in general, there is a substitution effect between traditional paid media and social media on product sales; (3) traditional paid media complement social media for narrow appeal products but substitute social media for broad appeal products. Our study provides important theoretical and managerial implications for future research and practice.
Germinação e desenvolvimento de plântulas de girassol ornamental em substratos

The ornamental sunflower is a growing crop in recent years due to its rapid return on investment and expressive representation in the flower market, and research on the ideal substrate for seedling production is essential to maximize information for the crop. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the germination and development of ornamental sunflower seedlings in different substrates compositions. The experiment was installed in a greenhouse, where they were put to germinate, seeds of sunflower type “Vincent’s Choice” in poliestileno trays on substrates with or without addition Slow Release Fertilizer (SRF) at the dose 2 g L-1. The experimental design was completely randomized with 4 treatments [T1- Charcoal + pine bark + peat + expanded vermiculite (1:1:1:1), T2- Coconut fiber + carbonized rice hull + peat + expanded vermiculite (1:1:1:1), T3- Charcoal + pine bark + peat + expanded vermiculite (1:1:1:1) + SRF, T4- Coconut fiber + Carbonized rice hull + peat + expanded vermiculite (1:1:1:1) + SRF] with 8 replicates of 8 seeds, totaling 64 seeds per substrate. It was evaluated: the percentage, index and average germination time, chlorophyll content, length, fresh and dry mass of shoot and root. It was observed that there was no difference in the percentage of germination, but T2 and T4 promoted emergency in the lowest mean time (3.19 and 3.46 days, respectively) with a higher rate of velocity (2.43 and 2.25 respectively), still, T4 presented increments with more than 50% of fresh and dry mass. Thus, it is concluded that the T4 substrate is recommended for germination and development of ornamental sunflower type “Vicent’s Choice”.
In vitro repellency evaluation of selected botanical extracts against cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne

To investigate the percent repellent outcomes of the chosen botanical extracts against adults cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne Anobiidae: Coleoptera) an experiment was carried out at the Entomology Section, Department of Agricultural Sciences, University of Haripur, in 2015. Two native botanical extractions obtained from Mentha longifolia (Mint) Lamiaceae and Momordica charantia (Bitter Gourd) Cucurbitaceae were tested for finding the repellent outcomes against Lasioderma serricorne while exposing them for ten days. The concentrations of botanical materials were 25, 50 and 75%. Each treatment was replicated three times with completely randomized design (CRD). Outcomes confirmed that highest repellency was observed at tenth day of exposure by M. longifolia i.e. 86.667% at 75% concentration versus L. serricorne, followed by M. charantia at the same dose (75%) where the percent repellency was 76.67. The experiment further confirmed that as the exposure time and the concentrations increased the percent repellent outcomes of the L. serricorne also increased.

Activity patterns and habitat use of pudu deer (Pudu puda) in a mountain forest of south-central Chile

ABSTRACT The pudu (Pudu puda) is a small, endemic deer, and the only native ungulate found in Chilean and Argentinean temperate forests. Its ecology, including its double role as an herbivore and as a prey, is poorly known. Therefore, it is pressing to gain a better understanding of the pudu given that its habitat is being transformed rapidly by anthropogenic causes. On a coastal mountain range in south-central Chile, we conducted a habitat use study and examined the activity patterns of the pudu using camera traps. The study area was a large native forest patch, surrounded by commercial plantations which would not constitute a habitat for this deer. Using a sampling effort of 7559 camera days, we found that this deer was largely nocturnal with little activity during daytime. The pudu selected Araucaria forests, and avoided Nothofagus forests. These behaviours suggest that the pudu traded off habitat use patterns and activity time to avoid predation, mainly by puma which is the top predator in the rich local community of carnivores occurring in the latter habitat.
Smoked vs dry-cured alentejano and white pig loins

This study aim is to evaluate the characteristics of both types of pig loins from Alentejano and Exotic pigs, manufactured with distinguish processes, taking in account that smoked technology is most appreciated in Portugal, than in the other European countries, whom preferences stands in cured products by drying technology. In the study, 6 Alentejano pigs, crossbred at 50% with Duroc and reared in free-range system, classified as class 2 by decree-law no95/2014, and 6 crossbreed White pigs, reared in intensive system were used, weighting 120 kg and 100 kg, respectively, after slaughtering. The loins processing was in “Salsicharia Estremocense Lda”. The evaluation between Alentejano breed and White crossbreed loins, smoked and dry-cured, were made physical and chemical analysis (pH, aW, WHC, moisture content, ash, fat, protein, TBARS, TVB-N) and sensory analysis (QDA). No significant differences were showed in pH, moisture and WHC in the loins processed by the two technologies, as well as in the nutritional value. Lipid profile also had not shown significant differences, nor even due to the breed neither to the technology, however it should be highlighted that the Alentejano loins had an amount of 13% fat while the Exotic loins had shown 8% fat content. The TVB-N content was higher in Alentejano loins, for both technologies, and TBARS varies along the processing, however this parameter didn’t distinguish the different technologies.There were significant differences between the breeds and the technologies in sensory color and bitter taste. The sensory analysis heightens, in the two breeds, the smoked technology, and thus the panellists overall acceptability.
Identification et caractérisation des sites de transport de CadA, l'ATPase-cadmium de Listeria Monocytogenes.

Les ATPases de type P1 assurent le transport d'ions metalliques lourds tels que le Cu+, le Cd2+ ou le Zn2+ a travers une membrane. Ce transport, qualifie d'actif parce que s'exercant en sens inverse du gradient electrochimique de l'ion transporte, utilise l'energie liberee lors de l'hydrolyse de l'ATP. Une etude accomplie en 1992 indique que 36% des Listeria monocytogenes sont resistantes a de hautes concentrations de Cd2+. Cette resistance est associee a la presence de plasmides, parmi lesquels pLm74 qui presente une sequence de 2136 paires de bases codant pour un polypeptide de 711 acides amines nomme CadA. Ce polypeptide possede les 3 sequences signatures des ATPases de type P, les motifs DKTGT, MxTGD et TGDGxNDxP et les 2 sequences signatures des ATPases de type P1, les motifs CXXC et CPC. L'objectif de cette these etait la recherche des acides amines constituant la voie de passage du Cd2+ au sein du domaine transmembranaire de CadA. Ce travail a necessite l'expression de CadA dans la levure Saccharomyces cerevisiae et la caracterisation du phenotype de sensibilite au Cd2+ induit par la presence de CadA. Il a aussi necessite une etude enzymatique de CadA au cours de laquelle nous avons montre que le Cd-ATP pouvait remplacer le Mg-ATP dans le cycle enzymatique de la proteine. Quatre helices transmembranaires (3, 4, 6 et 8) constitueraient la voie de passage du Cd2+ dans CadA. Au sein de ces helices, les acides amines M149, C354 et T684 pourraient faire partie du site de liaison tandis que E164 et C356 pourraient etre importants dans le processus de dissociation du metal. P355 et D692 seraient necessaires a la phosphorylation de l'enzyme. L'etude des domaines cytoplasmiques N (liaison des nucleotides) et P (phosphorylation) de CadA a ete aussi abordee au cours de cette these. La caracterisation fonctionnelle d'ATPases chimeriques a mis en evidence la possibilite d'echanger le domaine de phosphorylation entre differentes ATPases de type P.
Dietary net energy for gilts from 25 to 100 kg body weight

ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and carcass characteristics of gilts from 25 to 100 kg body weight (BW) fed diets with increased net energy (NE) levels. Seventy-two gilts with initial BW of 23.24±2.47 kg were allotted to one of six dietary treatments (2300, 2380, 2460, 2540, 2620, and 2700 kcal NE kg−1) using a completely randomized block design, with two pigs per replicate, and six replicates per treatment. Corn-soybean meal-based diets were formulated to be [. ]
Nutritive value of malted flours of finger millet genotypes and their use in the preparation of burfi.

Five finger millet genotypes viz., PES-400', PES-176', PES-110', PRES-4' and PRES-5' were malted. Malting of finger millet resulted in significant changes in nutrient composition, neutral detergent fibre, crude fat and vitamin C. Calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin C ranged from 516.00 to 596.00, 8.26 to 15.10, 1.66 to 2.22 and 5.08 to 8.74 mg/100 g, respectively in malted flour of finger millet genotypes. Results of sensory evaluation of burfi prepared from malted finger millet flour showed that the overall acceptability scores of all the genotypes ranged from fair to good as rated by the panelists.
