Modalités d’écriture collaborative et didactique ludique : Les applications pédagogiques des « 24 heures du roman » dans les programmes du Français Langue Seconde
Authors: Lebrec Caroline 
Published: August 2017

À l’occasion du quatre-centenaire de la présence francophone en Ontario, de nombreuses manifestations culturelles ont eu lieu au cours de l’année 2015. De ces événements sont restées des traces, notamment un livre « Sur les traces de Champlain : Un voyage extraordinaire en 24 tableaux », co-publié par la maison d’édition franco-ontarienne Prise de parole (2015) et l’association franco-ontarienne « L’Écriture en mouvement » ; cette dernière ayant également publié un jeu de cartes « Canada 1615 ».
Cette étude présente le projet des « 24 heures du roman », propose une analyse des modalités d'écriture collaborative dans le livre « Sur les traces de Champlain : Un voyage extraordinaire en 24 tableaux » et propose enfin une application pédagogique expérientielle des modalités d'écriture collaborative de « Canada 1615 », dans un cadre de didactique ludique. Cette séquence pédagogique a été mise en place dans le cadre des cafés-rencontre de la section française du Département d'études langagières à l’Université de Toronto à Mississauga.
Une visite de la littérature narrative française au présent (1980/2007)
Authors: Blanckeman Bruno 
Published: August 2017

On peut difficilement présenter la littérature française au présent sans prendre parti, en tant que lecteur,
professeur et critique, en tant qu’animal raisonnablement cultivé, ce que je tenterai de faire avec détermination
et circonspection. Détermination, s’il s’agit d’affirmer qu’il existe bel et bien aujourd’hui une littérature vivante
en France. Un discours convenu affirme pourtant volontiers le contraire. On stigmatise souvent, ici ou là, le
formalisme et le narcissisme des romans actuels, leur perte de liens avec l’histoire de leur temps, leur déficit
d’imaginaire. On fait parfois, là ou ici, de cette faillite le symptôme d’une déclin plus général, celui d’une culture
dont au regard de son prestige passé on déplore la mort en cours, tantôt avec les larmes d’Andromaque tantôt
avec celles d’un crocodile. Mais de quelles littératures, et de quels états de culture, parle-t-on au juste?
Entre l’exil et l’asile : l’inter-dit silencieux dans Le Pavillon des miroirs de Sergio Kokis
Authors: Urquhart Steven 
Published: August 2017

Lorsqu’on parle du premier roman de Sergio Kokis, Le Pavillon des miroirs, on souligne à
juste titre le caractère autobiographique du roman manifeste par le va-et-vient narratif entre le
présent du narrateur/peintre au Québec et le souvenir de sa jeunesse au Brésil ainsi que les
enjeux de son exil et la nature vive et grotesque des images qui hantent son imagination.
Francine Bordeleau résume ce dernier aspect en disant que « les images sont puissantes,
l’écriture brûlante, et certains passages, paroxystiques atteignent une sorte de fureur. Kokis n’est
pas un tiède » (10). Cependant, on constate également au cours d’une analyse détaillée du roman
l’importance de la question du silence et la place considérable qu’il occupe dans la pensée du
narrateur.
Xénototalité : l’utopie, l’uchronie et l’anticipation canadiennes-françaises et québécoises dans l’optique de l’allégorie nationale
Authors: Serruys Nicholas 
Published: August 2017

La science-fiction canadienne-française et québécoise, genre romanesque dont la linéarité spatio-temporelle est
souvent éclatée, explore des considérations révisionnistes de l’histoire, des conceptualisations nouvelles du présent
et des « conjectures rationnelles » du futur. Elle dépasse le cadre des moeurs et des valeurs du vécu pour en
esquisser une pensée alternative au delà et en deçà des frontières empiriques, concevant et se concevant
autrement.
Learning in two butterfly species when using flowers of the tropical milkweed Asclepias curassavica: No benefits for pollination
Authors: Ramos Bruna de Cássia Menezes , Rodríguez‐Gironés Miguel Angel , Rodrigues Daniela 
Published: August 2017

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:The ability of insect visitors to learn to manipulate complex flowers has important consequences for foraging efficiency and plant fitness. We investigated learning by two butterfly species, Danaus erippus and Heliconius erato, as they foraged on the complex flowers of Asclepias curassavica, as well as the consequences for pollination.METHODS:To examine learning with respect to flower manipulation, butterflies were individually tested during four consecutive days under insectary conditions. At the end of each test, we recorded the number of pollinaria attached to the body of each butterfly and scored visited flowers for numbers of removed and inserted pollinia. We also conducted a field study to survey D. erippus and H. erato visiting flowers of A. curassavica, as well as to record numbers of pollinaria attached to the butterflies’ bodies, and surveyed A. curassavica plants in the field to inspect flowers for pollinium removal and insertion.KEY RESULTS:Learning improves the ability of both butterfly species to avoid the nonrewarding flower parts and to locate nectar more efficiently. There were no experience effects, for either species, on the numbers of removed and inserted pollinia. Heliconius erato removed and inserted more pollinia than D. erippus. For both butterfly species, pollinium removal was higher than pollinium insertion.CONCLUSION:This study is the first to show that Danaus and Heliconius butterflies can learn to manipulate complex flowers, but this learning ability does not confer benefits to pollination in A. curassavica.
Transitions from distyly to homostyly are associated with floral evolution in the buckwheat genus (Fagopyrum)
Authors: Wu Ling‐Yun , Wang Bo , Schoen Daniel J. , Huang Shuang‐Quan 
Published: August 2017

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Documenting trait transitions among species with dimorphic flowers can help to test whether similar patterns of selection are responsible for divergence in floral traits among different species. Heterostyly is thought to promote outcrossing. Theory suggests that the evolutionary transition from heterostylous to homostylous flowers should be accompanied by a reduction in floral size in which pollen size and style length are expected to covary. Patterns of such correlated floral trait evolution have not, however, been widely examined.METHODS:The evolutionary history of heterostyly and homostyly was reconstructed from a molecular phylogeny of 13 species of Fagopyrum and two outgroups, based on one nuclear gene (nrITS) and three chloroplast regions (matK, atpB‐rbcL, and psbA‐trnH spacer). Floral traits of nine Fagopyrum species including pollen number and size, as well as stigma depth (length of the capitate stigma), were measured and ancestral characters of the herkogamic condition were reconstructed.KEY RESULTS:Three transitions from distyly to homostyly were observed. In two transitions, flower size (corolla diameter, pedicel length), herkogamy (stigma‐anther distance) and pollen production decreased, but stigma depth and pollen size did not. Changes of anther height and style length were inconsistent. The predicted positive relationship between style length and pollen size in the two transitions to homostyly was not observed.CONCLUSIONS:Floral evolution accompanying transitions to homostyly in Fagopyrum were found to be consistent with predictions of mating system evolution theory, and the correlation of traits in distylous vs. homostylous species revealed that pollen size generally correlates with stigma depth rather than style length.
CosmosDG: An hp-adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Code for Hyper-resolved Relativistic MHD
Authors: Anninos Peter , Bryant Colton , Fragile P. Chris , Holgado A. Miguel , Lau Cheuk , Nemergut Daniel 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
We have extended Cosmos++, a multidimensional unstructured adaptive mesh code for solving the covariant Newtonian and general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, to accommodate both discrete finite volume and arbitrarily high-order finite element structures. The new finite element implementation, called CosmosDG, is based on a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) formulation, using both entropy-based artificial viscosity and slope limiting procedures for the regularization of shocks. High-order multistage forward Euler and strong-stability preserving Runge–Kutta time integration options complement high-order spatial discretization. We have also added flexibility in the code infrastructure allowing for both adaptive mesh and adaptive basis order refinement to be performed separately or simultaneously in a local (cell-by-cell) manner. We discuss in this report the DG formulation and present tests demonstrating the robustness, accuracy, and convergence of our numerical methods applied to special and general relativistic MHD, although we note that an equivalent capability currently also exists in CosmosDG for Newtonian systems.
Optimization of the Cathodic Protection Design in Consideration of the Temperature Variation for Offshore Structures
Authors: Hong M.-S. , Hwang J.-H. , Kim J.H. 
Published: August 2017

The temperature effect on the current density which closely related to cathodic protection (CP) design was examined using electrochemical tests. A case study of an optimized CP design for the floating production storage and offloading using a computational analysis tool was also performed. The electrochemical test results showed that the current density and the surface resistance of the specimen (EH36) at 28°C are lower and higher, respectively, compared with the 5°C condition; this phenomenon is the result of a calcareous deposit that was verified by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy surface analyses. The polarization curves which contained the effect of calcareous deposits according to the temperature were used as the computational analysis input data. The simulation results showed that the structure under the 5°C condition did not satisfy the CP criteria (−800 mVSCE to −1,050 mVSCE) at the bottom shell and the mooring chain. It had higher potential than −800 mVSCE. Although the structure at 28°C satisfied the protective potential range, it was sufficiently unstable for the prediction of the corrosion damage. To optimize and resolve the identified problems, the CP design was changed by CP methods, anodes quantities, and anodes distribution. Consequently, the structure at 5°C is sufficient for the satisfaction of the protective-potential criteria (&lt; −800 mVSCE) at the bottom shell and the mooring chain. In the case of the structure at 28°C, a more-even potential distribution was achieved.
Enhancing resilience to coastal flooding from severe storms in the USA: international lessons
Authors: Lumbroso Darren M. , Suckall Natalie R. , Nicholls Robert J. , White Kathleen D. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract. Recent events in the USA have highlighted a lack of resilience in the coastal population to coastal flooding, especially amongst disadvantaged and isolated communities. Some low-income countries, such as Cuba and Bangladesh, have made significant progress towards transformed societies that are more resilient to the impacts of cyclones and coastal flooding. To understand how this has come about, a systematic review of the peer-reviewed and grey literature related to resilience of communities to coastal flooding was undertaken in both countries. In both Cuba and Bangladesh the trust between national and local authorities, community leaders and civil society is high. As a consequence evacuation warnings are generally followed and communities are well prepared. As a result over the past 25 years in Bangladesh the number of deaths directly related to cyclones and coastal flooding has decreased, despite an increase of almost 50 % in the number of people exposed to these hazards. In Cuba, over the course of eight hurricanes between 2003 and 2011, the normalized number of deaths related to cyclones and coastal floods was an order of magnitude less than in the USA. In low-income countries, warning systems and effective shelter/evacuation systems, combined with high levels of disaster risk-reduction education and social cohesion, coupled with trust between government authorities and vulnerable communities can help to increase resilience to coastal hazards and tropical cyclones. In the USA, transferable lessons include improving communication and the awareness of the risk posed by coastal surges, mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into the education system and building trusted community networks to help isolated and disadvantaged communities, and improve community resilience.
A New Turn-On Fluorometric Detection Method for the Determination of Ag(I) in Some Food and Water Samples
Authors: Saçmaci Şerİfe , Saçmaci Mustafa , Ülgen Ahmet 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
A new sensitive and selective turn-on fluorometry procedure for the determination of silver using a laboratory-built fluorometry system is described herein. After synthesis and characterization, a [2-((E)-{[3′,6′-bis(ethylamino)-2′,7′-dimethyl-3-oxospiro[isoindole-1,9′-xanthen]-2(3H)-yl]imino}methyl)cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-yl] (cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-yl)iron (DKMS) fluorescent reagent was used for the first time. Ag(I) was complexed with the new fluorescent reagent, and direct measurements were made using fluorometry without any separation/preconcentration. The fluorescence intensity of the Ag(I)–DKMS complex remained unchanged for over 18 h at room temperature and was a linear function of the concentration of Ag(I) in the 0–2.5 mg/L range. The optimum determination conditions were established by testing different reagent quantities, the acidity and pH of the sample, and the effect of temperature and interfering ions. The LOD of the method was 1.00 μg/L whereas the RSD was 0.1% for 0.1 mg/L Ag(I) concentration. “The developed method was applied successfully for the Ag(I) determination of silver in burn cream, anode slime, some food and water samples”. Results of the analysis of Certified Reference Materials (NCS DC73349 Bush Branches and Leaves – Trace Elements, and CWW-TM-D Certified Wastewater and Trace Metals) are in good agreement with the certified values.
Spatial and temporal variability of sea level rise hot spots over the eastern United States
Authors: Valle‐Levinson Arnoldo , Dutton Andrea , Martin Jonathan B. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractRegional sea level rise (SLR) acceleration during the past few decades north of Cape Hatteras has commonly been attributed to weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, although this causal link remains debated. In contrast to this pattern, we demonstrate that SLR decelerated north of Cape Hatteras and accelerated south of the Cape to >20 mm/yr, > 3 times the global mean values from 2011 to 2015. Tide gauge records reveal comparable short‐lived, rapid SLR accelerations (hot spots) that have occurred repeatedly over ~1500 km stretches of the coastline during the past 95 years, with variable latitudinal position. Our analysis indicates that the cumulative (time‐integrated) effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation determine the latitudinal position of these SLR hot spots, while a cumulative El Niño index is associated with their timing. The superposition of these two ocean‐atmospheric processes accounts for 87% of the variance in the spatiotemporal pattern of intradecadal sea level oscillations.

AbstractTurbulent fluxes across the air‐water interface are integral to determining lake heat budgets, evaporation, and carbon emissions from lakes. The stability of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) influences the exchange of turbulent energy. We explore the differences in over‐lake ABL stability using data from 39 globally distributed lakes. The frequency of unstable ABL conditions varied between lakes from 71 to 100% of the time, with average air temperatures typically several degrees below the average lake surface temperature. This difference increased with decreasing latitude, resulting in a more frequently unstable ABL and a more efficient energy transfer to and from the atmosphere, toward the tropics. In addition, during summer the frequency of unstable ABL conditions decreased with increasing lake surface area. The dependency of ABL stability on latitude and lake size has implications for heat loss and carbon fluxes from lakes, the hydrologic cycle, and climate change effects.
Layered Double Hydroxides: Structure–Property Relationships
Authors: He Shan , Han Jingbin , Shao Mingfei , Liang Ruizheng , Wei Min , Evans David G. , Duan Xue 
Published: August 2017

AbstractLayered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of anion‐intercalated functional materials that are also known as hydrotalcite‐like compounds. This chapter focuses on the structural properties of LDH materials and recent advances in theoretical studies of the LDHs structure. To understand the structure of LDHs, it is necessary to start from the structure of brucite [Mg(OH)2], which is of the CdI2type, typically associated with small polarizing cations and polarizable anions. The unique structure of LDHs provides a confined microenvironment for the intercalated guest molecules and thus results in controllable structures and performances for LDHs‐based materials. Multiple quantum well (MQW) structure is an important insight to study the confinement and host‐guest interaction of LDHs. The outstanding properties of LDHs and LDH‐intercalated materials give them great potential in imaging, therapy, drug delivery, and multimodal applications.
Structural Diversity in Complex Layered Oxides
Authors: Uma S. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThis chapter gives a review of complex layered oxides, comprising of their structures, inherent properties, and applications. It introduces the concepts related to layering along with their classifications. This is followed by a description of unique topochemical reactions that are characteristic of layered arrangement. In order to comprehend the subject of complex layered oxides, it is also beneficial to study them under the various structural families as has been the practice adopted in the literature. The chapter also details the various families of layered oxides and their characteristics. The significance associated with layered materials is their ability to undergo topochemical reactions at low temperatures (<500 °C). This particular approach commonly referred to as the chimie douce referring to the soft chemistry methods suggests a definite structural relationship between the reactants and the products.

Templated Synthesis for Nanostructured Materials
Authors: Kuroda Yoshiyuki , Kuroda Kazuyuki 
Published: August 2017

AbstractNanostructured solids with controlled porosities and morphologies are important for catalysis, separation, optics, electronics, energy storage, drug delivery, and so on. In order to design nanostructured solids, templated synthesis, using various molecules, molecular assemblies, and porous materials as templates, has been developed. In this chapter, preparative methods for nanostructured solids by templating are reviewed. In typical cases, metal cations are used for the structural control of metal oxides with various frameworks. Organic molecules are used as templates of microporous materials such as zeolites. Assemblies of surfactants or block copolymers are used as templates of mesoporous materials. Colloidal crystals consisting of latex particles or colloidal silica are used as templates of three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous materials. Emulsions, solvent droplets, ice, and biominerals are also used as templates of macroporous materials. These processes are classified according to templates, framework components, solidification methods, and removal methods of templates. Morphologies are also controlled as particles, rods or nanowires, and films by the deposition of materials in shaped nanospace or by sol–gel methods. These methods are combined for the control of hierarchical structures containing pores with different scales and/or controlled morphologies. Nanostructured materials are applied as catalysts, catalyst supports, photocatalysts, separation media, optical materials, secondary batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and so on. Templated synthesis is quite useful to control nanostructures, morphologies, and functions of solid‐state materials.
Nanolithography Based on Surface Plasmon
Authors: Ueno Kosei , Misawa Hiroaki 
Published: August 2017

Abstract

In this chapter, we describe the following three characteristic nanolithography techniques based on surface plasmon resonance: (i) the plasmon interference lithography technique, which can form periodic line and space patterns below the diffraction limit on a photoresist substrate utilizing interference of the propagating surface plasmon resonance; (ii) the nanogap‐assisted surface plasmon nanolithography technique, which uses ultimate near‐field lithography exposed by a local near field at a nanogap with a single nanometer‐width induced by localized surface plasmon resonance; and (iii) a unique plasmon lithography technique using a scattering light emitted when localized surface plasmon resonance couples with a radiation mode as an exposure source. All of these methodologies are nanolithography techniques based on surface plasmon resonance, which transfers the nanopatterns below the diffraction limit of light on a photoresist substrate.

Published: August 2017

Abstract

Solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (
ssNMR
) is a powerful and flexible tool for deriving structural and dynamical information for a broad variety of material classes ranging from metals, intermetallics, and ceramics over organic, inorganic, and metal–organic frameworks to molecular crystals and polymers. The combination of relaxation experiments, lineshape analyses, and 2
D
exchange techniques spans a dynamical window of about 14 decades with correlation times ranging from 10
−12
s for fast ion conduction and up to 100 s for the relaxation close to the glass transition.
ssNMR
is element selective and thus able to identify chemical building units and simultaneously probes their homo‐ and heteronuclear through‐bond and through‐space connectivities, orientation correlations, as well as distances up to a few nanometers. Thus,
ssNMR
is ideally suited and often used to complement diffraction studies and quantum chemical calculations. It does not suffer from a loss of long‐range order and may equally be applied to crystalline, disordered, and amorphous materials to make progress on the structure elucidation of complex compounds. This chapter provides an overview of fundamental aspects of
ssNMR
, including the most important nuclear spin interactions and their typical spectral lineshapes for both wideline and high‐resolution experiments. Based on this, we describe the development and application of various 1
D
and 2
D
NMR
techniques, for both structural and dynamical aspects, on selected examples taken from the recent literature. In particular, we focus on strengths, weaknesses, and the expressiveness of the individual methods.
