Giacomo Casanova et Cecille von Roggendorff

Ce texte cherche à analyser l’échange épistolaire entre Giacomo Casanova et Cecille von Roggendorff, à partir du 6 février 1797 jusqu’à la mort de Casanova, le 4 juin 1798. Cette correspondance encadre non seulement un rapport précepteur-écolière, mais, peu à peu, le vieux libertin agît comme un père inquiet pour sa fille. Nous essayerons de suivre les étapes de cette connaissance réciproque à travers les vicissitudes quotidiennes, les maladies de Casanova et les états mélancoliques de Cecille, la tentative de ce dernier de la placer comme dame d’honneur chez les filles du duc Pierre de Curlande. Le compte rendu lettre par lettre met l’accent sur les interlocuteurs et permet une mise à jour de la narration que l’auteur de l’Histoire de ma vie a consciemment décidé d’arrêter avant ses dernières années passées à Dux.&#x0D; This essay attempts to analyze the exchange between Giacomo Casanova and Cecilia von Roggendorff, during the two years before Casanova’s death in Dux, Bohemia (4 June 1798). Such correspondence represents the step-by-step evolution of a teacher-pupil relationship into a father-daughter one, with the old libertine getting increasingly worried about her. Our analysis follows such mutual exchange through everyday matters such as Casanova’s illness and Cecilia’s melancholy, the former’s attempt to place her into the court as the duke Pierre de Curlande’s maid of honor. By means of a letter-by-letter account, some light is shed on the interlocutors and Casanova’s narration in his Histoire de ma vie, which omits his last years spent in Dux.

Cross-border network of lagoons, lakes and ponds

This project intends to take on the challenge of developing innovative integrated governance models for the natural and cultural sites of the cooperation area. It aims to create a sustainable cross-border management system for more effective public initiatives to protect and promote the ecosystem heritage of lakes, lagoons and ponds. The Municipality of Alghero will develop a joint action plan in coordination with the Municipalities of Massarosa and Orbetello, CIRSPE, Lucca Province, the Department of Upper Corsica, IFREMER and the Department of Var. This plan will integrate the management and promote the ecosystem of cross-border lagoons, lakes and ponds, and related itineraries. Pilot actions will implement the plan on the natural and cultural sites of Calich, Massaciuccoli, Orbetello, Biguglia, the Ancient Salt Pans of Pesquiers and Villepey. The plan includes an experimentation and capitalisation action on the Serchio river area. The joint action plan will be based on the pre-existing wetland management models, under national regulations, and envisages a path of shared development and joint implementation with the partners sharing their experiences and knowledge for the creation of a cross-border management model. The integrated and cross-border management of the natural and cultural heritage of the lagoons, lakes and ponds will start when all the partners have acquired the necessary knowledge and shared the basic know-how. RETRALAGS is part of the Blueprint policy framework, 2000/60/EC Framework Directive objectives and COM/2012/0670 report results and is the ideal continuation of the cross-border projects ZOUMATE, ZOUMGEST, RETRAPARC, MONIQUA, AISC, SICOMAR and MOMAR as well as the transnational project WATER IN CORE.

Sustainable plasmon-enhanced catalysis

Industries creating inorganic, organic, and agricultural chemicals use a staggering 4.2% of the worldwide delivered energy, mainly from unsustainable fossil fuels. Meanwhile, the sun provides energy that could be utilized to power photochemical reactions sustainably and cleanly. Recent advances revealing how localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs), light-driven electron oscillations in metal nanoparticles, can concentrate light at the molecular scale made the dream of efficient photochemistry one step closer. However, plasmonic materials are almost exclusively constructed from the rare and unsustainable metals Ag and Au. In addition to being incompatible with current industrial practices relying on catalytic surfaces to lower energy barriers and guide reactions, Ag and Au cause prohibitive cost challenges for real-world applications. But there is hope: several of the few metals predicted to sustain LSPRs and become potential alternatives to Ag and Au are amongst the most abundant, i.e. sustainable, elements on Earth (Al, Mg, Na, K).
The way forward, and key objective of my proposal, is thus to design, synthesize, and understand multimetallic nanostructures where a cheap, Earth-abundant plasmonic material traps and concentrates (sun)light directly at a catalytic surface to efficiently and intelligently power and choreograph chemical reactions. To achieve this ambitious goal, I devised a project concurrently advancing important aspects of sustainable plasmon-enhanced catalysis, from the development of two synthetic approaches for Earth-abundant plasmonic-catalysts, to the fundamental studies of light-trapping in these new materials with state-of-the-art numerical and experimental approaches and the unravelling of the relative contribution of plasmon-generated hot electrons, enhanced field, and heat using key model chemical reactions. These results will help develop a more sustainable future by lowering our reliance on both fossil fuels and rare metals.
Remote ischemic conditioning in lymphoma patients receiving anthracyclines.

The increasing life expectancy of the population and the development of effective therapies result in a growing population of aged cancer survivors, which frequently have comorbidities for developing heart failure (HF). Anthracyclines (AC) are still first line treatment for many cancer types, but up to 35% of patients who received them develop cardiotoxicity and HF. The trade-off between cancer and chronic HF is of massive psychological burden for patients, and of devastating economic consequences for healthcare systems. We aim to test the efficacy of a novel intervention (remote ischemic preconditioning) to reduce the incidence of AC-induced HF. We have selected Non-Hodgkin lymphoma as the target population, since it is diagnosed at advanced comorbid age in both genders. This will also allow us study gender differences in AC-induced HF. A phase II randomized clinical trial enrolling 608 patients undergoing AC chemotherapy will be done. Primary endpoint will be based on serial cardiac magnetic resonances exams. Taking advantage of the recruited population and data gathered, we will further validate 2 novel cardiac magnetic resonance imaging methods: a novel early marker of cardiotoxicity, and a new sequence allowing a massive reduction of acquisition time. We will also study a personalized strategy to empower patients in clinical trial execution, which includes Patient-Reported Outcome and Experience Measures (PROMs and PREMs). Our final goal is to reach the patient level by implementing the novel strategy at the clinical level while paving the way for a future large phase III trial. For this endeavour, we count on a multidisciplinary consortium, where different stakeholders of this process are part of the study, from scientists to industry, and from healthcare providers (physicians and nurses) to patients. RESILIENCE deals with 2 of the most frequent non-communicable diseases in Europe (cancer and HF), responsible for a big proportion of healthcare expenditures.
Is Child Work Detrimental to the Educational Achievement of Children? Results from Young Lives Study in Ethiopia

The objective of this study was to explore the effect of child work on educational achievement as measured by the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). Identifying the causal effects of child work on education is made difficult because the choice of work and/or schooling is made simultaneously and may be determined by the same potentially unobserved factors. Therefore, both Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Instrumental Variable (IV) estimation methods were used to identify the effect of child work on educational achievement. We used dummy variables for drought, crop failure and pests and diseases, for increases in the prices of food, and for urban locality as instruments which are highly, though not directly, correlated with achievement in education. The results obtained showed that child work had a negative effect on child achievement in education. Numerically, an increase in the number of hours worked per day by one resulted in a reduction in the PPVT score of a child by 6.2 percent. Therefore, it is important to design mechanisms that enable households to withstand income shocks without resorting to child work. The Government of Ethiopia might need to consider implementing a programme that provides financial incentives to households to send their children to school regularly, thus potentially increasing their educational achievement.

Improving Ecological Connectivity in the Alps

ECONNECT aims at the enhancement of ecological connectivity in the Alpine space. Protection of biodiversity and natural heritage – a central necessity to cope with the challenges of climate change – requires an integrated approach which beyond protected areas considers high biodiversity areas and corridors as linking elements of an Alpine ecological network. International umbrella organisations linked to the Alpine Convention, scientific institutions and local implementation partners have joined forces to demonstrate needs and options for action and develop innovative instruments for ecological connectivity. Pilot applications involving different stakeholders result in long-term implementation. To overcome legal and administrative constraints policy recommendations are presented ensuring effective cross-border cooperation and procedural harmonisation. Knowledge transfer and dissemination are guaranteed by the widely ramified structure of partners and the strategic use of networks.
Value CoCreation (VCC) Language Design in the Frame of a Smart Airport Network Case Study

The design and engineering of collaborative networks and business ecosystems is a discipline that requires an outstanding and upfront attention of the value cogenerated among the parties involved in the business exchanges of these networks. Understanding this value cocreation is undoubtedly paramount, first to adequately sustain the design and the development of the information system that brings about this value, second, to support the communication between the information system designers, and third to allow discovering new cocreation opportunities amongst the networks companies. In that context, we proposed an abstract language (metamodel) that structures, and provides an explanatory semantics to, the cocreation of value between information system designers, allowing a better definition of the collaboration and of each one value propositions. The design of this language is achieved in the frame of the design science theory and accordingly follows an iterative improvement approach based on real case studies from practitioners. This paper introduces the second iteration of the language based on a real case in a Smart Airport Network.
Light-Controlled nanomagnetic computation schemes

Computation using nanomagnets could serve as a low-power alternative to existing CMOS technologies. Here, binary information is encoded into two stable magnetic configurations of single-domain nanomagnets. In the last ten years, significant progress has been made towards the implementation of nanomagnetic networks for computation, either in the form of Boolean logic gates, or for more complex optimisation tasks. However, operational reliability and on-the-fly tuneability have remained problematic.

Here, we propose to use surface-plasmon-induced local heating schemes to enable local, selective, and fast optical control of the relaxation pathways of nanomagnetic arrays. This novel approach towards the active manipulation of thermal magnetic relaxation potentially allows for the implementation of low-power, ultra-fast advanced computation schemes, such as reservoir computing.
Fate of mammary stem cells during tumorigenesis and clinical implications

One of the most challenging questions in breast cancer biology is to elucidate the origin of tumor heterogeneity and its contribution to therapy failure. Accumulating evidence suggests that the cell-of-origin, the cell that acquires the first oncogenic event, may define the molecular portrait of the resulting tumor. The fate of mammary Stem Cells (MSC) upon oncogenic perturbation has been poorly explored. Moreover, the Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway regulates proliferation/differentiation of MSC and is found hyperactive in breast cancer cells, for example through mutations in PIK3CA, the gene coding for its catalytic subunit. I hypothesize that expression of PIK3CA mutations will perturb mammary tissue homeostasis, initiate mammary cancer and trigger formation of stem-like cancer cells. Using state-of-the-art in situ genetic lineage tracing, I will determine the fate of MSC (identified recently as Procr+ cells) after conditional expression of PIK3CA hotspot mutations (H1047R, E545K). I will also characterize early molecular events responsible for promotion of transformation (Aim 1). When tumors develop, I will determine tumor phenotype and eventual progression to metastasis (Aim 2). Consequently, this study will generate a new mouse model of breast cancer that will be useful for preclinical studies. A panel of PI3K inhibitors is currently under Clinical investigation and clinical reports have shown that the combination of standard chemotherapy with PI3K inhibitors reduces tumor growth but drug-resistance often occurs. To identify resistance mechanisms to PI3K inhibitors, I will generate in vivo models of drug-resistance (Aim 3). My studies will use both hypothesis driven and unbiased approaches, they should: 1. better elucidate transformation of MSC and the resulting tumor heterogeneity, 2. pinpoint novel targets/biomarkers. Ultimately this knew knowledge should result in better therapies for patients.

Two part sprocket wheel (1) adapted to engage modular belt modules in a conveyor belt, where said two part sprocket wheel (1) comprises: - two periphery elements (10,11), each periphery element (10,11) having an outer edge (13) and inner edge (12) and a web body (9) there between, where sprocket teeth (15) are provided on the outer edge (13), and where the inner edge (12) has an engagement surface, and where each periphery element (10,11) has means (16) for being connected and fastened to and adjacent periphery element (10,11), such that the two periphery elements' outer edges (13) form a full circle, said circle being arranged in a common plane, wherein centrally in the sprocket wheel (1) an aperture (20) is provided, said aperture (20) being dimensioned to accommodate a substantially rectangular axle, where the longitudinal axis of the axle is perpendicular to the common plane of the two part sprocket wheel (1), where each part of the sprocket wheel (10,11) has four engagement ridges (21, 22, 23, 24), which engagement ridges (21,22,23,24) when the sprocket wheel is mounted around the axle will engage the axle, where a first pair of ridges (21,22) are arranged orthogonal to each other, and where a bent out section (25), connects the two engagement ridges (21,22), where a second pair of engagement ridges (23,24) is mirrored the first pair (21,22), such that the two engagement ridges (22,23) of different pairs being in the same plane are separated by a cut-out (26), and where parallel to the inner edge, a certain distance away from the aperture (20), assembly flanges (27,28) are provided, where each assembly flange is provided with an aperture (30) on either side of the web (9), where said aperture (30) is surrounded by an upstanding circumferential ridge (31), said ridge on its distal end being provided with centering and engagement means (32), such that as two sprocket wheel parts (10,11) are assembled to a sprocket wheel (1), the centering and engagement means (32) on a first sprocket wheel part (10) engages and centers the corresponding centering and engagement means (32) on the second sprocket wheel part (11), whereby the apertures (30) on the first and second sprocket wheel parts (10,11) overlap, and assembly bolts (33) may be inserted in order to connect and fix the two parts of the sprocket wheel to each other.
Predicting suicide

There is a pressing need for improvements in methods that accurately measure and predict those most likely to engage in suicide and self-harm. Traditional methods that rely solely on explicit self-reports are limited because participants can be unwilling to express thoughts or behaviours that they perceive to be socially deviant. In addition, they might not have introspective/conscious access to certain thoughts that can increase their risks of engaging in self-injurious behaviours. Similar impression management problems occur for researchers addressing prejudice and stereotyping, and consequently, implicit tasks that measure automatic biases are of immense value in clinical and social domains. This project will use the Simple Implicit Procedure (SIP) - a highly advanced implicit measure that was developed and validated by the applicant to overcome the limitations in existing implicit measures- to predict those most likely to attempt suicide. The SIP can be used to precisely specify the cognitive mechanisms that are driving an automatic bias, which will offer researchers across a host of domains crucial additional information. This additional insight can be used to assist with the development of interventions aimed at reducing problematic behaviours or thoughts. This project will also use a biopsychosocial approach to determine crucial factors that heighten the risks of suicide, addiction and prejudice. The training I will receive will secure me as the leading figure in advanced implicit measurement, with the necessary infrastructure and international collaborations developed, to establish a lab aimed at providing solutions to major societal problems. Using both front-line pragmatic methods and broad theoretical perspectives to better understand the causes of self-injurious behaviour, addiction and prejudice, I will be better placed to make recommendations to policy makers, who can then greatly improve the lives of the most vulnerable people in our society.
A new four-plasma categorization scheme for the solar wind

A three-parameter algebraic scheme is developed to categorize the solar wind at 1 AU into four plasma types: coronal-hole-origin plasma, streamer-belt-origin plasma, sector-reversal-region plasma, and ejecta. The three parameters are the proton-specific entropy Sp = Tp/np2/3, the proton Alfven speed vA, and the proton temperature Tp compared with a velocity-dependent expected temperature. Four measurements are needed to apply the scheme: the proton number density np, the proton temperature Tp, the magnetic field strength B, and the solar wind speed vsw. The scheme is tested and is found to be more accurate than existing categorization schemes. The categorization scheme is applied to the 1963–2013 OMNI2 data set spanning four solar cycles and to the 1998–2008 ACE data set. The statistical properties of the four types of plasma are examined. The sector-reversal-region plasma is found to have statistically low alpha-to-proton density ratios and high Alfven Mach numbers. The statistical relations between the proton and alpha-particle-specific entropies and oxygen and carbon charge-state-density ratios Sp, Sα, O7+/O6+, and C6+/C5+ from ACE are examined for the four types of plasma: the patterns observed imply a connection between sector-reversal-region plasma and ejecta and a connection between streamer-belt-origin plasma and coronal-hole-origin plasma. Plasma occurrence rates are examined and solar cycle patterns are found for ejecta, for coronal-hole-origin plasma, and for sector-reversal-region plasma.
Supply chain risk management: a literature review

Risk management plays a vital role in effectively operating supply chains in the presence of a variety of uncertainties. Over the years, many researchers have focused on supply chain risk management (SCRM) by contributing in the areas of defining, operationalising and mitigating risks. In this paper, we review and synthesise the extant literature in SCRM in the past decade in a comprehensive manner. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we present and categorise SCRM research appearing between 2003 and 2013. Second, we undertake a detailed review associated with research developments in supply chain risk definitions, risk types, risk factors and risk management/mitigation strategies. Third, we analyse the SCRM literature in exploring potential gaps.
Using Prediction Market Prices to Differentiate Factors that Influence the Highest and Lowest Priced Tickets in Dynamic Pricing for Major League Baseball

The use of prediction markets is extended to explain differences in preferences of fans that purchase different price levels of tickets under dynamic pricing for Major League Baseball. Using data from eleven teams, this research investigates similarities and differences in variables that affect ticket prices for the highest-priced and lowest-priced tickets. Key contrasts between the groups are found to stem from distinct preferences for uncertainty of outcome, measured by betting market odds, and team quality. It is also shown that differences between the groups are attributable to sensitivity to factors such as key opponents, weekend games, opening day, and temperature.
POST DRIVER SAFETY SYSTEM

A post driver having a shielding structure able to be raised and lowered on guides of and/or relative to a mast structure which guides the monkey or hammer. The monkey and/or a member or members dependent from it (e.g. whether part of a post cap or not) is able to interact with the shielding structure in order to uplift it to allow access to the impact zone or to where at least the top region of a post to be driven is, or is to be, positioned. The shield structure extends below the impact zone, i.e. where the impact face of the monkey will engage a post or post cap to be driven. Repeated blows by the monkey can be made with the lowered safety shield not moving with the monkey.
