France : retour sur désinvestissement
Authors: Plane Mathieu , Ducoudré Bruno , Madec Pierre , Péléraux Hervé , Sampognaro Raul 
Published: February 2016

Après une croissance décevante en 2014 (+0,2 %), l’économie française s’engage dans une reprise lente, sa capacité de rebond à court terme étant entravée par un tissu productif dégradé par plusieurs années de désinvestissement. L’inertie des anticipations, les surcapacités existantes, la crise immobilière, le ralentissement chinois et la consolidation budgétaire, bien que moins aiguë que par le passé, limitent la reprise en 2015. Sur l’ensemble de l’année, la France enregistrerait une hausse du PIB de 1,1 %, le taux de chômage se stabiliserait à 10 % et le déficit public continuerait sa lente décrue, atteignant 3,7 % du PIB. Avec une croissance de 1,8 %, 2016 serait l’année de la reprise, marquée par une hausse du taux d’investissement des entreprises, stimulé par l’amélioration du taux de marge, le très bas niveau du coût du capital et le redressement des perspectives d’activité. Après quatre années de contraction, l’investissement en logement repartirait, sous l’effet de l’amélioration des perspectives de mises en chantier. Sous l’effet de la dépréciation de l’euro et des politiques de compétitivité adoptées par le gouvernement, le commerce extérieur contribuerait positivement à la croissance (0,2 point de PIB en 2016, comme en 2015). Le rythme de croissance trimestriel du PIB, compris entre 0,5 et 0,6 %, déclencherait la fermeture progressive de l’écart de production et la lente baisse du taux de chômage qui finirait l’année à 9,8 %. Le déficit public se réduirait de 0,5 point de PIB, sous l’effet des économies réalisées et de la remontée des recettes fiscales générées par la reprise de l’activité. Sous l’hypothèse d’un environnement macroéconomique durablement favorable, la fermeture de l’écart de production se poursuivrait en 2017 et le taux de chômage atteindrait 9,4 % à la fin de l’année. Avec une hausse du PIB de 2 % en 2017, le déficit public descendrait à 2,7 % du PIB, repassant sous la barre des 3 % pour la première fois depuis 10 ans.
Aporije pogleda: "Tapiz del ciego" Joséja Lezame Lime

Published: February 2016

Članek je eksegeza pesmi »Tapiz del ciego« (Slepčeva preproga) kubanskega pisatelja Joséja Lezame Lime. Ob upoštevanju posebne transcendenčne estetike avtorja, ki si želi doseči metafizično kraljestvo nevidnega skozi poetično podobo, poskuša avtor članka prikazati, kako je mogoče v besedilu zaslutiti dialektiko poetičnega pogleda in občutljivost sveta, ki ponazarja izkušnjo končnosti jezika kot osnovne prvine poetičnega ustvarjanja. »Tapiz del ciego« opisuje to izkušnjo končnosti in hkrati tropološke vrtoglavice jezika kot nenehno dekonstrukcijo subjekta in kot izpraznjenje pomena v notranjščino ustvarjalnega dela; gibanje, ki pa zaradi nenehnega pritiska poetičnega Erosa, prvotne inštance, ki avtorju omogoča zlitje materialne senzibilnosti z nedotakljivostjo, vseeno potiska proti področju nepogojenega.

MIHA MAZZINI El escritor, guionista, director y experto en informática Miha Mazzini nació en 1961 en Kranj, Eslovenia. Se graduó en informática y luego hizo el posgrado en guión. Es pro- fesor de guión cinematográfico y miembro de la Academia del Cine Europeo.Mazzini escribió seis novelas, dos libros de cuentos, una colección de ensayos, un libro para niños y una novela para jóvenes. Además, escribió un libro de prosa breve y le- tras para un grupo de punk inexistente. También es autor de varios manuales de informáti- ca y un libro sobre cómo escribir guiones. En 1986 recibió el premio a la mejor novela del año por Drobtinice (El proyecto Cartier) y en 1988 fue galardonado con el premio Zlata ptica a los artistas consagrados. Guarding Hanna, versión inglesa de su novela Telesni cuvaj (El guardaespaldas), fue nominada para el International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award 2004. Además, recibió varios premios cinematográficos en su desempeño como guionista y director.Mazzini forma parte del grupo de los «escritores eslovenos jóvenes», que comprende autores nacidos alrededor del año 1960, pero cuyas poéticas son muy heterogéneas entre sí. La poética de Mazzini fue anunciada ya con su primera novela Drobtinice (1987). Sus rasgos recurrentes son la temática actual, una historia clara, un suspenso bien logrado, la perspectiva humorística e irónica, el cinismo y el sincretismo de géneros. El protagonista de sus historias suele ser un misántropo introvertido y temeroso que no puede manejar su propia existencia.Las obras de Mazzini han sido traducidas al checo, croata, inglés, italiano, polaco, ruso y serbio. Además del cuento Una historia muy simple, en español hay hasta el mo- mento tan sólo una versión del cuento Camino a la montaña; los dos forman parte del libro Trenutki spoznanja (Momentos de revelación) (2007).
A review of the role of active remote sensing and data fusion for characterizing forest in wildlife habitat models
Authors: Vogeler J. C. , Cohen W. B. 
Published: February 2016

<p>Se ha probado que los mapas que muestran explícitamente las relaciones especie-hábitat constituyen herramientas valiosas en aplicaciones de conservación y gestión, incluyendo la evaluación sobre qué especies y de qué forma se pueden ver afectadas por el cambio climático a gran escala, la fragmentación progresiva del hábitat y los usos del suelo a nivel local. Diversos estudios se han centrado en utilizar la teledetección como herramienta que permite caracterizar la vegetación para el análisis de la selección del hábitat y para cartografiar las relaciones con el entorno natural. Uno de los tipos de hábitats más difíciles de caracterizar mediante teledetección son los sistemas forestales verticales y horizontales complejos. Su caracterización es necesaria para estudiar los aspectos determinantes y/o limitantes para las especies. El uso de la teledetección activa mediante sensores LiDAR y RADAR ha suscitado gran interés en el ámbito de la investigación de especies de fauna silvestre en áreas forestales así como su gestión, dado el potencial de esta tecnología para representar características tridimensionales de estos hábitats. El objetivo de este artículo de revisión es analizar las aplicaciones de teledetección activa en los estudios de hábitat de fauna silvestre en zonas forestales a través de búsquedas de palabras claves en la <em>Web of Science</em>. Se presentan las métricas y métodos comúnmente utilizados, los avances recientes en la caracterización de hábitats forestales y se recomiendan líneas futuras de investigación en el área de teledetección que podrían beneficiar estudios sobre fauna silvestre en ámbitos forestales que actualmente o no existen o están infrautilizados. También se destaca el valor potencial de la fusión de datos de sensores activos y pasivos para la representación de múltiples dimensiones y escalas del hábitat forestal. Si bien el uso de la teledetección en estudios de hábitat de fauna silvestre se ha incrementado en los últimos años, la comunicación fluida entre las comunidades científicas relacionadas con la teledetección, la gestión forestal y la ecología es vital para garantizar el uso y comprensión adecuados de los datos, permitiendo un mejor conocimiento de las necesidades de los usuarios.</p><p> </p>

Abstract. The fluorescent nature of aerosol at a high-altitude Alpine site was studied using a wide-band integrated bioaerosol (WIBS-4) single particle multi-channel ultraviolet – light-induced fluorescence (UV-LIF) spectrometer. This was supported by comprehensive cloud microphysics and meteorological measurements with the aims of cataloguing concentrations of bio-fluorescent aerosols at this high-altitude site and also investigating possible influences of UV–fluorescent particle types on cloud–aerosol processes. Analysis of background free tropospheric air masses, using a total aerosol inlet, showed there to be a minor increase in the fluorescent aerosol fraction during in-cloud cases compared to out-of-cloud cases. The size dependence of the fluorescent aerosol fraction showed the larger aerosol to be more likely to be fluorescent with 80 % of 10 μm particles being fluorescent. Whilst the fluorescent particles were in the minority (NFl∕NAll  =  0.27 &amp;pm; 0.19), a new hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis approach, Crawford et al. (2015) revealed the majority of the fluorescent aerosols were likely to be representative of fluorescent mineral dust. A minor episodic contribution from a cluster likely to be representative of primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) was also observed with a wintertime baseline concentration of 0.1 &amp;pm; 0.4 L−1. Given the low concentration of this cluster and the typically low ice-active fraction of studied PBAP (e.g. pseudomonas syringae), we suggest that the contribution to the observed ice crystal concentration at this location is not significant during the wintertime.

Determinizing Asynchronous Automata
Authors: Klarlund Nils , Mukund Madhavan , Sohoni Milind 
Published: February 2016

A concurrent version of a finite-state automaton is a set of processes that cooperate in processing letters of the input. Each letter read prompts some of the processes to synchronize and decide on a joint move according to a non-deterministic transition relation. Such automata are known as <em>asynchronous automata</em>.<p> </p><p>The question whether these automata can be determinized while retaining the synchronization structure has already been answered is the positive, but indirectly, by Zielonka's Theorem. Unfortunately, this construction does not give an optimal solution.</p><p> </p><p>In this paper we present an elementary proof, which generalizes the classic subset construction for finite-state automata. The proof uses in an essential way an earlier finite-state construction by Mukund and Sohoni for maintaining each process's latest knowledge about other processes.</p><p> </p><p>Our construction is only double-exponential and thus is the first essentially to match the lower bound.</p><p> </p><p>In conjunction with earlier results of Ochmanski and Pighizzini, our construction provides a new (and in a sense ''classical'') proof of Zielonka's theorem that every recognizable trace language is accepted by a deterministic asynchronous automaton whose structure precisely captures the independence relation of the given trace alphabet.</p>
Performance Measurement at Universities: Studying Function and Effect of Student Evaluations of Teaching
Authors: Lueg Klarissa 
Published: February 2016

<p>This paper proposes empirical approaches to testing the reliability, validity, and organizational effectiveness of student evaluations of teaching (SET) as a performance measurement instrument in knowledge management at the institutional level of universities. Departing from Weber’s concept of bureaucracy and critical responses to this concept, we discuss how contemporary SET are used as an instrument of organizational control at Danish universities. A discussion of the current state of performance measurement within the frame of new public management (NPM) and its impact on knowledge creation and legitimation forms the basis for proposing four steps of investigation. The suggested mixed-methods approach comprises the following: first, thematic analysis can serve as a tool to evaluate the legitimacy discourse as initiated by official SET affirmative documents by government, university, and students. Second, constructs for the SET questionnaire can be developed and compared to existing SET questionnaires in terms of reliability and validity. Third, data from SET can be used to corroborate the relationship between the qualitative (comments) and quantitative (scaled questionnaire) sections. Fourth, it can be investigated if SET actually contribute to teaching improvement by examining how the instrument is integrated into systematic ex-ante and ex-post organizational management. It is expected to find discrepancy between the proponents’ intent to evaluate teaching and the way the performance measurement instrument is implemented. </p>
Effect of atomic modulation on the J-mixing-dominant magnetic anisotropy in SmFe7 epitaxial films
Authors: Kusumori Takeshi , Fujita Asaya , Mibu Ko 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
The magnetocrystalline anisotropy in TbCu7-type SmFe7 epitaxial films has been verified in relation to the 4f-electron character. The reinforcement of the 4f intermultiplet mixing by nitrogenation is verified from an enlarged basal-plane anisotropy. The sign of the uniaxial anisotropy constant is varied from positive to negative by nitrogenation, in contradiction to behaviors in Th2Zn17-type Sm2Fe17N
x
. 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and first-principles calculation revealed that the transformation of the Sm-neighboring Fe-atom plane from a rippling to a flat shape, which characterizes the Th2Zn17- and TbCu7-type local structures, markedly modulates the magnetic anisotropy, owing to the 4f semilocalized character.

N-face GaN

films with hillock-free smooth surfaces grown by group-III-source flow-rate modulation epitaxy
Authors: Lin Chia-Hung , Akasaka Tetsuya , Yamamoto Hideki 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
N-face GaN

films were grown by group-III-source flow-rate modulation epitaxy (FME), wherein the flow-rate of group-III sources are sequentially modulated under a constant supply of NH3. By using GaN bulk substrates with a low misscut angle (∼0.3°), hillock-free N-face GaN

surfaces are achieved over almost the whole sample area (10 × 5 mm2). A smooth surface with the root mean square roughness of 0.39 nm exhibits the step-and-terrace structure. Group-III-source FME also reduces carbon impurities in the films, resulting in weakened blue and yellow deep emissions in the photoluminescence spectrum.
Quasi-ballistic transport model for top- and back-gated graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors
Authors: Hu Shuyan , Hu Guangxi , Wang Lingli , Liu Ran , Zheng Lirong 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
A carrier transport model for graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors (GNR FETs) is obtained using McKelvey’s flux and quasi-ballistic transport theories. Source/drain series resistances are taken into account. With the model, an analytical expression for drain-to-source current is achieved including only three fitting parameters. The model is verified by simulation, and good agreements are observed. With the model, the drain-to-source current characteristics of GNR FETs with different drain or gate biases can be obtained very swiftly, saving much simulation time. The model will provide some design insights into the practical use of GNR FETs.

of a water molecule encapsulated in fullerene isomers from C60 to C80, all of which satisfy the isolated pentagon rule. Our calculations show that the dipole energy exhibits unusual features not expected for an isolated water molecule in vacuum. The dipole energy depends sensitively on the electronic structure of fullerenes and their cage network topology when situated in an external electric field. We also demonstrate that the electrostatic potential inside the fullerene exhibits an anisotropic feature with respect to the applied field.

Authors: Illarionov Yury Yu. , Waltl Michael , Smith Anderson D. , Vaziri Sam , Ostling Mikael , Lemme Max C. , Grasser Tibor 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
We study the positive and negative bias-temperature instabilities (PBTI and NBTI) on the back gate of single-layer double-gated graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs). By analyzing the resulting degradation at different stress times and oxide fields we show that there is a significant asymmetry between PBTI and NBTI with respect to their dependences on these parameters. Finally, we compare the results obtained on the high-k top gate and SiO2 back gate of the same device and show that SiO2 gate is more stable with respect to BTI.

Published: February 2016

Abstract
We suggest a novel technique for the evaluation of the recombination coefficients corresponding to Shockley–Read–Hall, radiative, and Auger recombination that occur in InGaN/GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This technique combines the measurement of the LED efficiency as a function of LED drive current with a small-signal time-resolved photoluminescence measurement of the differential carrier life time (DLT). Using the relationships between the efficiency and DLT following from the empirical ABC-model, one can evaluate all three recombination coefficients. The suggested technique is applied to a number of single- and multiple-quantum well LEDs to gain a deeper insight into the mechanisms ultimately limiting their efficiency.
Correlation Between Cervical Lengths Measured by Transabdominal and Transvaginal Sonography for Predicting Preterm Birth
Authors: Cho Hyun Jin , Roh Hyun-Jin 
Published: February 2016

ObjectivesCervical length assessment is important for predicting preterm birth. Cervical length measurement using transabdominal sonography is more comfortable for the patient but has more limitations than transvaginal sonography. Our aim was to determine whether transabdominal sonography could identify those women who should undergo transvaginal sonography for prediction of preterm birth.MethodsIn this prospective study, women underwent cervical length measurements by transabdominal and transvaginal sonography between 20 and 29 gestational weeks and were followed until delivery. We assessed whether short cervical lengths on transabdominal sonography could predict short cervical lengths on transvaginal sonography and whether these measurements could predict preterm births (<34 gestational weeks).ResultsThe mean cervical lengths were not significantly different between the techniques (mean ± SD, 3.78 ± 0.82 and 3.82 ± 0.77 cm on transabdominal and transvaginal sonography, respectively; P = .09). The sensitivity of short cervical lengths (<2 cm) on transabdominal sonography for prediction of short cervical lengths on transvaginal sonography was 100%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and relative risk of short cervical lengths (<2 cm) for predicting preterm birth were 21.4%, 98.68%, 50.00%, 95.32%, and 13.22 when using transabdominal sonography and 28.57%, 94.94%, 66.6%, 95.74%, and 17.78 when using transvaginal sonography, respectively. In an analysis that included cases with transabdominal sonography, the sensitivity of short cervical lengths for predicting preterm birth was increased.ConclusionsWomen whose cervical lengths are measurable and long on transabdominal sonography may not need transvaginal sonography. Women whose cervical lengths are unmeasurable or short (<2 or <2.5 cm) on transabdominal sonography should undergo transvaginal sonography to measure cervical lengths for prediction of preterm birth.

Published: February 2016

ObjectivesChanges in tissue perfusion can be critically important in the vulnerable neonate, but they are very difficult to assess at the bedside. Spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) sonography is an exciting concept that allows assessment of blood flow by rearranging and merging multiple 2‐dimensional color images to create serial 3‐dimensional images showing regional blood flow throughout the cardiac cycle. Variations in tissue blood flow may reflect tissue impedance and perfusion. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that it is possible to use STIC images to evaluate tissue impedance in the neonatal brain.MethodsSpatiotemporal image correlation data sets were acquired by cranial sonography in 19 neonates. Offline data analysis was performed by using virtual organ computer‐aided analysis. With the use of STIC images from different phases of the cardiac cycle, impedance indices were calculated, based on maximum (systolic), minimum (diastolic), and mean virtual organ computer‐aided analysis values, in the same way that resistive indices are calculated in 2‐dimensional sonography.ResultsVolumetric indices for tissue impedance were obtained for all neonates. Intraclass correlation coefficients (95% confidence intervals) for volumetric impedance indices were as follows: systolic/diastolic ratio, 0.793 (0.615–0.906); pulsatility index, 0.790 (0.609–0.905); and resistive index, 0.783 (0.598–0.901). Interclass correlation coefficients for image processing and analysis were as follows: systolic/diastolic ratio, 0.868 (0.692–0.947); pulsatility index, 0.904 (0.772–0.962); and resistive index, 0.914 (0.794–0.966).ConclusionsThis study shows that STIC data sets can be used to calculate volumetric impedance indices in the neonatal brain. Preliminary assessment shows that this technique appears reliable and allows evaluation of regional tissue impedance in the neonate.
