Les formes de la vie conjugale des jeunes couples «âgés»

Résumé Caradec (Vincent). - Les formes de la vie conjugale des «jeunes» couples «âgés» Cet article cherche à mettre en évidence la diversité des formes conjugales adoptées par les couples qui se forment entre partenaires âgés de plus de 50 ans. Quatre formes ont pu être distinguées à partir d'un corpus d'entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès de soixante couples : vie en couple marié ; cohabitation simple ; cohabitation intermittente et cohabitation alternée. L'article s'efforce ensuite de dégager les logiques qui ont présidé au choix de ces formes conjugales et d'étudier les possibles évolutions. Il apparaît qu'au-delà d'un effet de « contagion intergénérationnelle » qui rend moins illégitime parmi les personnes « âgées » une union non sanctionnée par le mariage, ces diverses formes conjugales constituent des réponses aux problèmes spécifiques auxquels ces conjoints sont confrontés : présence de grands enfants et de petits-enfants avec qui l'on souhaite poursuivre de bonnes relations; possession d'un patrimoine, et en particulier d'une maison à laquelle certains sont particulièrement attachés ; existence d'un passé conjugal qu'il ne s'agit pas d'oublier ou de renier.
Mathematical Analysis of Models for Tumour Angiogenesis

We deal with well known two mathematical models of tumour angiogenesis. We first review the solvability and the asymptotic profile of the solution to a parabolic ODE system proposed by Othmer and Stevens. Next we consider the model of tumour induced angiogenesis by Anderson and Chaplain in the same line. We modify Anderson and Chaplain model to the same type system of Othmer and Stevens model. This implies a similarity between these models and we can show the existence of global solutions and numerical simulations of Anderson and Chaplain model by using such similarity.
A Two-State Ant Colony Algorithm for Solving the Minimum Graph Bisection Problem

The graph bisection problem is an important problem in printed circuit board layout and communication networks. Since it is known to be NP-complete, approximation algorithm have been considered. In this paper, we propose a so-called two-state ant colony algorithm for efficiently solving the problem. In the proposed algorithm two kinds of pheromone and two kinds of heuristic information are introduced to reinforce the search ability. The proposed algorithm is tested on a large number of instances and is compared with a heuristic algorithm and a genetic algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is superior to its competitors.
Posttraumatic Nightmares: Psychodynamic Explorations

Despite the early interest of Freud and Ernest Jones, posttraumatic nightmares have long been exempt from psychodynamic investigation. The neglect is accounted for by one simple reason: posttraumatic nightmares have not been viewed as psychodynamic events at all. Rather, they have been assumed to be literal replays of trauma to which the dreamer was subjected; in Freud's terms, such nightmares have been understood as simple "manifest content" lacking and latent meaning. In Posttraumatic Nightmares, Melvin Lansky challenges this long-accepted view in the first comprehensive study of posttraumatic nightmares as true mental products rather than signs of posttraumatic reaction. Lansky's study draws on a unique research project. He and his colleagues compared nightmare texts with conscious reports of trauma in a population of 200 psychiatric inpatients hospitalized over a seven-year period. This project showed that patients' retelling of nightmare scenarios was significantly discrepant from the patients' waking accounts of their traumas. Furthermore, the distortions served the dream work in the manner of everyday dreams: they helped to screen out intolerable latent dream thoughts. Posttraumatic Nightmares is not only an empirically grounded expansion of psychoanalytic dream theory to the phenomena of posttraumatic nightmares. It is a refinement of dream theory per se. Enriching psychoanalytic theory with the insights of family systems theory, recent trauma research, and contemporary perspectives on affect, Lansky proceeds to a clinically compelling finding: that posttraumatic nightmares, understood psychodynamically, can play a major role in the treatment of trauma victims.
Effect of Ecabet Sodium Enema on mildly to moderately active ulcerative proctosigmoiditis: an open-label study

OBJECTIVES:Ecabet sodium (ES), a nonabsorbable antigastric ulcer agent, has been shown to adhere to the region of an ulcer. It topically enhances gastric mucosal defensive factors such as the endogenous prostaglandins, capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves, nitric oxide, and mucin. All of these mucosal defensive factors play an important role in maintaining the mucosal integrity of the colon and rectum. Therefore, we investigated the effect of ES in patients with mildly to moderately active ulcerative proctosigmoiditis.METHODS:In an open-label study, seven patients with mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis (UC) who had an inflamed mucosa in the rectum and/or sigmoid and were resistant to 4-wk topical and systemic standard treatment were treated with an ES enema b.i. d. for 14 days. The enema consisted of ES (1 g) and tepid water (20 or 50 ml). These patients were assessed by the Clinical Activity Index, colonoscopically, and histologically before and after the ES therapy. The ES therapy was started after obtaining informed consent from the patients.RESULTS:Six of the seven patients responded to therapy and achieved clinical, endoscopic, and histological remissions. One patient was withdrawn because of increased stool frequency. All six patients who completed the study showed a significant change in the mean Clinical Activity Index score from 5.3 ± 1.4 (mean ± SD) to 0.5 ± 0.8 (p < 0.05), in the colonoscopic score from 3.0 ± 0.9 to 0.8 ± 0.4 (p < 0.05), and in the histological score from 2.7 ± 0.5 to 0.5 ± 0.6 (p < 0.05), and achieved remission at the end of the study. There were no side effects attributable to the ES therapy. Five of the six patients are still in clinical remission after a median follow-up period of 5 months.CONCLUSIONS:The ES enemas proved to be a safe and potentially useful adjuvant therapy currently available for treating patients with mildly to moderately active ulcerative proctosigmoiditis. A controlled study is necessary to confirm our results.
Target Identification of Compounds from a Cell Viability Phenotypic Screen Using a Bead/Lysate-Based Affinity Capture Platform

The pharmaceutical industry has been continually challenged by dwindling target diversity. To obviate this trend, phenotypic screens have been adopted, complementing target-centric screening approaches. Phenotypic screens identify drug leads using clinically relevant and translatable mechanisms, remaining agnostic to targets. While target anonymity is advantageous early in the drug discovery process, it poses challenges to hit progression, including the development of backup series, retaining desired pharmacology during optimization, discovery of markers, and understanding mechanism-driven toxicity. Consequently, significant effort has been expended to elaborate the targets and mechanisms at work for promising screening hits. Affinity capture is commonly leveraged, where the compounds are linked to beads and targets are abstracted from cell homogenates. This technique has proven effective for identifying targets of kinase, PARP, and HDAC inhibitors, and examples of new targets have been reported. Herein, a three-pronged approach to target deconvolution by affinity capture is described, including the implementation of a uniqueness index that helps discriminate between bona fide targets and background. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated using characterized compounds that act on known and noncanonical target classes. The platform is subsequently applied to phenotypic screening hits, identifying candidate targets. The success rate of bead-based affinity capture is discussed.
Towards a reconceptualisation of skill: A study of skills in higher education.

The concept of skill has become increasingly important in the discourse of education over recent years and now appears to have assumed a central position in the debate surrounding the purpose and function of higher education. Skill is a construct which is now required to function as a unifying principle and conflates into one notion, previously separate understandings of national economic competitiveness, skilled performance and higher education. It is a construct which is over-used and under-theorised and paradoxically (for such a 'unifying' concept) appears to be fractured by fundamental inconsistencies and structural ambiguities. The aim of this study is to reveal the nature of the problem which impacts on higher education and skill, and to place skill in an appropriate context within higher education. This is undertaken by analysing the literatures which hold skill as a central concept; by attempting to construct a logical framework to provide greater clarity and focus in the use of skill within the discourse of education; to establish an appropriate underpinning rationale for delimiting the use of skill in educational discourse; and to seek to influence educational debate on the appropriate and incommensurable uses of skill within the discourse of education. The research deploys discourse analysis - notably the social constructionist theories of Ernesto Laclau and Chantale Mouffe (1985) - and argues that skill has become a nodal point both within the discourse of education and a floating Signifier between the several discourses which hold skill as a central concept. The study argues that the current conception of skill is both antithetical to skill production within higher education and inimical to the purposes and function of higher education. And further, that skill now functions as a social myth, embodying a new ideology which continues to inflict serious bilateral damage on both higher education and skill.
EMPIRICAL STUDY OF SOFTWARE INTERFACE FAULTS - AN UPDATE.

In [Perry 85] we reported work in progress on the analysis of software interface faults in a large software system. In this update of that work, we complete the analysis of the interface faults for this large system and extend our results. In our original analysis, we determined that there were 15 categories of interface faults in the prima facie interface fault set of errors reports. We add one new category as a result of our completed analysis: hardware/software interface problems. We summarize our original findings for the set of errors determined by our operational definition of interface faults, present our new findings for the single-file interface faults, and then present the characterization of interface faults with respect to the total error population.
Vesselness for text detection in historical document images

Text detection is typically the first step for any text processing such as hand-written text recognition, layout analysis, line detection, or writer identification. This paper describes a new method to detect text in images, particularly in historical document images. For a robust detection, we propose the use of the vesselness filter as a new preprocessing step for text detection. We show, that this step improves the detection rate significantly. At the locations segmented by this filter, SIFT keypoints are detected which are spatially clustered. Overlapping windows from these clusters are subsequently VLAD encoded and classified in text and non-text. We evaluate this approach on a newly created database, where we achieve an F1-score of 92%. Additionally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this method for line segmentation.
A novel oncogene related to c‐mil is transduced in chicken neuroretina cells induced to proliferate by infection with an avian lymphomatosis virus.

Non‐dividing neuroretina cells from chicken embryos are induced to proliferate after a long latency, following infection with Rous associated virus type 1, an avian retrovirus which does not carry a transforming gene. We have isolated from these proliferating cells an acutely mitogenic retrovirus, designated IC10, which contains a novel oncogene. Nucleotide sequencing showed that the IC10 virus has transduced 1101 nucleotides of cellular origin inserted between the gag and env genes of RAV‐1. This oncogene, designated v‐Rmil, is 70.1% homologous to v‐mil. v‐Rmil encodes a protein of 40,976 daltons sharing 83.8% homology with the catalytic domain of the v‐mil protein. Divergence with the v‐mil gene product is observed at the NH2‐ and COOH‐terminal portions of the v‐Rmil protein. Restriction analysis of normal chicken DNA indicated that v‐Rmil is derived from a cellular gene distinct from c‐mil. The c‐Rmil gene is transcribed through a major mRNA, greater than 10 kb in length, that is detected at much higher levels in neuroretinas, as compared to other embryonic tissues.
Realization of dynamic biped walking stabilized by trunk motion on a sagittally uneven surface

The authors introduce a control method for dynamic biped walking stabilized by trunk motion on a sagitally uneven surface, that is for a biped walking robot which has a trunk to stabilize its walking, and its effectiveness as supported by walking experiments using a biped walking robot. This control method is based on the introduction of a new concept called a virtual surface, to consider the ZMP (zero moment point) on an uneven surface, and the main algorithm for computing the trunk motion which compensates for lower-limbs motion and time trajectory of the arbitrarily planned ZMP on the virtual surfaces. Using this control method in a number of experiments, the biped walking robot WL-12RIII (Waseda Leg-12 Refined III) which has a trunk, realized dynamic biped walking on stairs with a step height of 0.1 m and a trapezoidal terrain with an inclination of +or-10 deg. The walking period was 2.6 sec/step on the stairs, and 1.6 sec/step on the trapezoidal terrain. So that, the effectiveness of this control method was experimentally supported. <<ETX>>
D-Plan: Efficient Collision-Free Path Computation for Part Removal and Disassembly

We present a novel approach to compute a collision-free path for part disassembly simulation and virtual prototyping of part removal. Our algorithm is based on sample-based motion planning that connects collision-free samples in the configuration space using local planning. In order to effectively handle the tight-fitting scenarios, we describe techniques to generate samples in narrow passages and efficient local planning algorithms to connect them with collision-free paths. Our approach is general, makes no assumption about model connectivity or object topology, and can handle polygon soup models that frequently arise in CAD applications. We highlight the performance on many challenging benchmarks including the Alpha puzzle, maintainability of the windscreen wiper motion, and disassembly of a seat from the interior of a car body.
An Overview of SURGE: a Reusable Comprehensive Syntactic Realization Component

This paper describes surge, a syntactic realization front-end for natural language generation systems. By gradually integrating complementary aspects of various linguistic theories within the computational framework of functional uni(cid:12)-cation, surge has evolved to be one of the most comprehensive grammars of English for language generation available today. It has been successfully re-used in a variety of generators, with very di(cid:11)erent architectures and application domains.
Fumigaclavine C from a Marine-Derived Fungus Aspergillus Fumigatus Induces Apoptosis in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells

Recently, much attention has been given to discovering natural compounds as potent anti-cancer candidates. In the present study, the anti-cancer effects of fumigaclavine C, isolated from a marine-derived fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus, was evaluated in vitro. In order to investigate the impact of fumigaclavine C on inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis in breast cancer, MCF-7 cells were treated with various concentrations of fumigaclavine C, and fumigaclavine C showed significant cytotoxicity towards MCF-7 cells. Anti-proliferation was analyzed via cell mobility and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. In addition, fumigaclavine C showed potent inhibition on the protein and gene level expressions of MMP-2, -9 in MCF-7 cells which were manifested in Western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results. The apoptosis induction abilities of the fumigaclvine C was studied by analyzing the expression of apoptosis related proteins, cell cycle analysis, DNA fragmentation and molecular docking studies. It was found that fumigaclavine C fragmented the MCF-7 cell DNA and arrested the cell cycle by modulating the apoptotic protein expressions. Moreover, fumigaclavine C significantly down-regulated the NF-kappa-B cell survival pathway. Collectively, data suggest that fumigaclavine C has a potential to be developed as a therapeutic candidate for breast cancer.
Distributed Machine Learning with Self-Organizing Mobile Agents for Earthquake Monitoring

Ubiquitous computing and The Internet-of-Things (IoT) raises rapidly in today's life and is becoming part of self-organizing systems (SoS). A unified and scalable information processing and communication methodology using mobile agents is presented to merge the IoT with Mobile and Cloud environments seamless. A portable and scalable Agent Processing Platform (APP) is an enabling technology that is central for the deployment of Multi-agent Systems (MAS) in strong heterogeneous networks including the Internet. A large-scale distributed heterogeneous seismic sensor and geodetic network used for earthquake analysis is one example, which can be extended by ubiquitous sensing devices like smart phones. To simplify the development and deployment of MAS in the Internet domain agents are directly implemented in JavaScript (JS). The proposed JS Agent Machine (JAM) is an enabling technology. It is capable to execute AgentJS agents in a sandbox environment with full run-time protection, low-resource requirements, and Machine Learning as a service. A simulation of a seismic network and real earthquake data demonstrates the deployment of the JAM platform. Different (mobile) agents perform sensor sensing, aggregation, local learning and prediction, global voting, and the application.
Real-Field Formulation of Norm-Related Problems in the Frequency Domain

In this paper the isomorphism existing between the fields of real and complex numbers is explored in the context of some typical norm-related problems defined in the frequency domain. It is shown that certain properties of complex-valued linear equations are preserved, and some interpretations are clarified, by a transformation such that only real-valued matrices and vectors are involved. Useful results concerning singular values and typical measures of matrix size, such as norms and the determinant, are obtained. An application to the modeling of uncertainty based on identification data is included. By use of the results derived in this paper, the optimization task in the original problem formulation is transformed to a convex optimization problem based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).
YND1, a Homologue of GDA1, Encodes Membrane-bound Apyrase Required for Golgi N- andO-Glycosylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae *

The gene for the open reading frame YER005w that is homologous to yeast Golgi GDPase encoded by the GDA1gene was cloned and named YND1. It encodes a 630-amino acid protein that contains a single transmembrane region near the carboxyl terminus. The overexpression of the YND1 gene in thegda1 null mutant caused a significant increase in microsomal membrane-bound nucleoside phosphatase activity with a luminal orientation. The activity was equally high toward ADP/ATP, GDP/GTP, and UDP/UTP and ∼50% less toward CDP/CTP and thiamine pyrophosphate, but there was no activity toward GMP, indicating that the Ynd1 protein belongs to the apyrase family. This substrate specificity is different from that of yeast GDPase, but similar to that of human Golgi UDPase. The Δynd1 mutant cells were defective in O- and N-linked glycosylation in the Golgi compartments. The overexpression of the YND1 gene complemented some glycosylation defects in Δgda1disruptants, suggesting a partially redundant function of yeast apyrase and GDPase. From these results and the phenotype of the Δynd1Δgda1 double deletion showing a synthetic effect, we conclude that yeast apyrase is required for Golgi glycosylation and cell wall integrity, providing the first direct evidence for the in vivo function of intracellular apyrase in eukaryotic cells.
