A natural-language semantics approach to infinitival and gerund-participial complementation in English
Authors: Duffley Patrick 
Published: April 2017

Cet article propose une analyse de la complémentation infinitive et gérondive en anglais au moyen d’un cadre théorique fondé sur la sémantique naturelle non formelle. Le postulat de base de l’analyse est que ce sont les signifiés des formes linguistiques et les relations conceptuelles entre ceux-ci qui conditionnent en premier lieu les possibilités expressives des constructions comportant un complément. L’explication proposée de l’emploi des compléments en anglais s’appuie sur trois paramètres : (1) le contenu sémantique des compléments eux-mêmes ; (2) la fonction du complément dans la phrase ; (3) le contenu lexical du verbe de la principale. Dans certains cas, il faut considérer également le contexte d’énonciation pour rendre compte de la production du message. Nous suggérons que l’incapacité d’autres cadres théoriques d’apporter des explications pour certaines données est due au fait qu’ils emploient des catégories sémantiques qui sont ou bien trop abstraites, et donc ne correspondent pas à la sémantique de l’anglais, ou bien trop particulières, ne relevant que de certains emplois des formes en question. Les données choisies pour illustrer l’argument sont prises parmi les verbes aspectuels en anglais.
Les grammaires de construction
Authors: Puckica Jérôme 
Published: April 2017

This paper is a short presentation of some basic aspects of the grammatical theory known as construction grammar, which has been differently developed by Ch. Fillmore, R. Langacker, and A. Goldberg, among others. First, the notion of “construction” as a form-meaning pairing is explained, as well as the different types of constructions recognized in the theory (simple v. complex, specified or substantive v. schematic or formal). Then, some of the fundamental postulates of the theory are exposed : the conception of a native speaker’s grammatical knowledge as a network of constructions, the lexicon-grammar continuum, the operation of unification involved in the production of sentences, the non-derivational and monostratal nature of construction grammar, and the usage-based approach to language acquisition that is shared by most constructionists. Finally, it is shown that “verbo-centric” approaches to verbal clauses, including that of generative grammar based on the Projection Principle, cannot provide a satisfying treatment of cases of multiple argument realisation, while these are elegantly and economically accountedfor within the constructionist framework.
FXRS: Fast X-Ray Spectrum-Simulator Theory and Software Implementation
Authors: Chirilă Ciprian C. , Ha T. M. H. 
Published: April 2017

AbstractWe propose a simple, computationally efficient scheme for an X-ray spectrum simulator. The theoretical models describing the physical processes involved are employed in our Monte Carlo software in a coherent way, paving the way for straightforward future improvements. Our results compare satisfactorily to experimental results from literature and to results from dedicated simulation software. The simplicity, excellent statistical errors, and short execution time of our code recommend it for intensive use in X-ray generation simulations.
Fontaines narratives de Jean GIono
Authors: Leforestier Claire 
Published: April 2017

La qualité matricielle de l'eau pour la psyché est un lieu commun qui ne présente d'intérêt que si la généralité cède devant l'examen de réalisations singulières. Avec une simple scène d'enfants, Jean Giono révèle, dans « Jeux ou la naumachie », que le lit d'eau vive fait celui de la fiction. Du contact avec l'eau naissent en même temps la créature et le créateur. Fontaine, ruisseau, fleuve, mer... les diverses eaux de son œuvre sont corrélées à des êtres ou à des métamorphoses, leur présence amorce un cours d'événements, l'élément donne lieu à l'écoulement ou à la dérive : la narration même. Il importe de rechercher les traits distinctifs de ces eaux, non par souci d'inventaire, mais pour dégager certaines propriétés fondamentales. Si la plus significative est bien celle de la poïèse, propriété génétique, la plus éclatante est la qualité magique de l'eau de mer... La dimension tellurique de l'œuvre a été largement explorée. L'eau a beau y être moins « décrite » que l'air et la lumière, autres éléments vitaux majeurs dont le conteur s'emploie à restituer le fascinant pouvoir d'animation, ses aspects (multiples) et ses fonctions (cruciales) méritent que l'on s'y penche. Pour connaître les prestiges des eaux, il faut d'abord rencontrer les initiés: Pétrus, le fontainier de « L'Eau vive », Antonio, l'homme-fleuve du Chant du monde, l'aiguadier de Noé... autant de « caractères » de la vie aquatique dont l'écrivain marque la valeur et les pouvoirs. Il faut en outre s'intéresser aux correspondances favorites du poète-romancier : l'eau, relativement peu comparée (en huile, en métal ou en écailles) sert en revanche fréquemment de comparant, vivifiant nombre d'éléments naturels, tant il est vrai que, chez Giono, la crue de la fiction tend à faire acquérir à toute représentation la dimension du grand large.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3039
La femme au colt 45: un parcours dans imaginaire aquatique de Marie Redonnet
Authors: González Hernández Ana Teresa 
Published: April 2017

Sous l’apparence d’une écriture dépouillée et d’une narration dénudée, Marie Redonnet, écrivaine contemporaine, nous présente un univers fictionnel peuplé de personnages –féminins pour la plupart- démunis et solitaires, soumis aux grandes tensions sociales, ancrés dans un cadre spatio-temporel flou, et fréquemment plongés dans un état d’abandon existentiel, de stagnation, auquel vient contribuer la présence d’une composante clé de l’imaginaire redonnetien: l’élément aquatique. Chez Redonnet, les différentes variantes de l’eau: océans, mers, fleuves, lacs, cascades, marécages, etc, deviennent de véritables métaphores récurrentes, voire obsédantes, riches de signification. Prenant comme point de départ de notre parcours la trilogie: Splendid Hôtel, Forever Valley et Rose Mélie Rose, publiée entre 1986 et 1987, nous nous proposons d’analyser, dans un premier temps, le rôle et la signification de la présence récurrente de la thématique de l’eau dans cette trilogie. Nous dresserons, ensuite, le tableau des différentes manifestations de l’eau et des divers aspects de la symbolique aquatique dans son dernier roman: La femme au colt 45, paru en 2016. Dans ce roman, utilisant une langue épurée et minimaliste, proche du langage dramaturgique, Marie Redonnet nous pose la problématique de la précarité des réfugiés, et des sans-papiers, de la méchanceté humaine, des difficultés pour recommencer une nouvelle vie ailleurs, de « l’autre côté du fleuve », à travers l’expérience vitale de Lora Sander, une comédienne qui fuit la dictature de son pays. L’étude dans ce dernier roman de la présence de l’eau, sous toutes ses manifestations, ainsi que la signification des différents élements qui lui sont associés, nous permettra de nous interroger sur l’évolution du traitement de l’imaginaire aquatique dans la création littéraire de M. Redonnet.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3111

Edwin G. Boring: The Historian’s Path in the Pages of The American Journal of Psychology
Authors: Gallagher Shawn P. 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Although he is best known for his classic textbook, A History of Experimental Psychology, Edwin Garrigues Boring published dozens of articles in The American Journal of Psychology and used its various formats to guide the discipline in the early 20th century. This report reviews a small sample of his publications, including obituaries, notes, and experimental articles, and presents them in historical and biographical context. A central objective is to show how Boring shared the values of his structuralist training with the emerging American schools and how time allowed him to reconsider his approach to history and the legacy of his iconic mentor, Edward Bradford Titchener.
« Un jeu bête et méchant » : l’art du détournement du poste de télévision (1963-1964)
Authors: Tron-Carroz Caroline 
Published: April 2017

Dans l’émissionLes raisins verts(1963-1964), le réalisateur Jean-Christophe Averty propose une séquence intitulée « Un jeu bête et méchant avec le Professeur Choron », dans laquelle Georges Bernier, par ailleurs directeur du mensuel satiriqueHara-Kiri, se livre systématiquement à des détournements du poste de télévision qui dévient l’objet de ses usages ordinaires. Cet article met en relation le vocabulaire anticonformiste du « jeu bête et méchant » avec l’esprit contestataire du journalHara-Kiri, tout en analysant la façon dont la séquence expose à l’écran différentes formes d’appropriation du médium télévisuel. À travers cette lecture, c’est la coexistence des démarches de détournement de l’objet télévision dans divers domaines de la création, au début des années 1960, qui est interrogée.
Les utopies électroniques de Paik et d’Averty : investigations et expérimentations télévisuelles
Authors: Plas Marc 
Published: April 2017

La visée principale de cet article, qui fait suite à des recherches dans les archives de l’INA, est la mise en évidence d’un aspect essentiel de l’oeuvre et de la démarche de Jean-Christophe Averty : la singularité de son approche de la télévision. L’auteur a pour cela jugé nécessaire de rapprocher Averty d’un autre créateur contemporain, Nam June Paik, qui a lui aussi été un pionnier de l’utilisation du médium vidéo dans une perspective artistique. Sans faire l’impasse sur les conditions sociales et historiques qui ont pu rendre possible l’émergence de telles entreprises, l’auteur cherche, dans son texte, à rendre compte de la part d’innovation radicale qu’elles comportent. L’activité d’Averty et celle de Paik sont liées à l’apparition massive de la technologie dans l’art de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle et aux particularités tant matérielles que conceptuelles de cette technologie. L’importance de leurs expérimentations apparaît d’une manière peut-être plus précise aujourd’hui, dans le contexte d’expansion et de généralisation des outils numériques.
Técnica para redução do tônus e alongamento muscular passivo: efeitos na amplitude de movimento de crianças com paralisia cerebral espástica
Authors: Oliveira Luana Dos Santos de , Golin Marina Ortega 
Published: April 2017

Introdução: A paralisia cerebral (PC) é resultante de lesão no encéfalo em fase de maturação, acarretando em disfunções motoras. A espasticidade, forma mais comum de acometimento, gera prejuízos funcionais intensificados pela diminuição da mobilidade. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos do alongamento passivo lento do músculo tríceps sural e de técnica para diminuir o tônus do conceito Bobath na amplitude de movimento (ADM) de dorsiflexão do tornozelo de crianças com PC espástica. Métodos: Participaram 18 crianças atendidas no Hospital Estadual Mario Covas de Santo André e na Santa Casa de Diadema. O grau da hipertonia do músculo tríceps sural foi determinado pela Escala de Aswhorth Modificada e a ADM de dorsiflexão foi medida pela goniometria. Esses dois procedimentos foram realizados antes e após as seguintes situações: 1) aplicação de um protocolo de alongamento muscular passivo; 2) protocolo com uma técnica para diminuir o tônus do conceito Bobath; e 3) emprego associado dos dois protocolos. Resultados: O grau de hipertonia não se modificou após o protocolo 1, porém os protocolos 2 e 3 diminuíram a espasticidade de maneira semelhante, conforme a Escala de Ashworth Modificada. Já o ângulo de dorsiflexão aumentou após aplicação dos três protocolos: 1 (p=0,176); 2 (p=0,008); e 3, com o aumento mais significativo (p=0,003). Conclusão: A técnica para redução do tônus mostrou efeito positivo na redução da espasticidade, segundo a Escala de Ashworth Modificada, e no aumento da ADM de crianças espásticas. A execução subsequente do alongamento muscular aumentou sua efetividade.

AbstractIntroduction: Lopinavir/ritonavir‐based antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended for all HIV‐infected children less than three years. However, little is known about its field implementation and effectiveness in West Africa. We assessed the 12‐month response to lopinavir/ritonavir‐based antiretroviral therapy in a cohort of West African children treated before the age of two years.Methods: HIV‐1‐infected, ART‐naive except for a prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission (PMTCT), tuberculosis‐free, and less than two years of age children with parent's consent were enrolled in a 12‐month prospective therapeutic cohort with lopinavir/ritonavir ART and cotrimoxazole prophylaxis in Ouagadougou and Abidjan. Virological suppression (VS) at 12 months (viral load [VL] <500 copies/mL) and its correlates were assessed.Results: Between May 2011 and January 2013, 156 children initiated ART at a median age of 13.9 months (interquartile range: 7.8–18.4); 63% were from Abidjan; 53% were girls; 37% were not exposed to any PMTCT intervention or maternal ART; mother was the main caregiver in 81%; 61% were classified World Health Organization Stage 3 to 4. After 12 months on ART, 11 children had died (7%), 5 were lost‐to‐follow‐up/withdrew (3%), and VS was achieved in 109: 70% of children enrolled and 78% of those followed‐up. When adjusting for country and gender, the access to tap water at home versus none (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.75, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09–6.94), the mother as the main caregiver versus the father (aOR: 2.82, 95% CI: 1.03–7.71), and the increase of CD4 percentage greater than 10% between inclusion and 6 months versus <10% (aOR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.05–6.18) were significantly associated with a higher rate of VS. At 12 months, 28 out of 29 children with VL ≥1000 copies/mL had a resistance genotype test: 21 (75%) had ≥1 antiretroviral (ARV) resistance (61% to lamivudine, 29% to efavirenz, and 4% to zidovudine and lopinavir/ritonavir), of which 11 (52%) existed before ART initiation.Conclusions: Twelve‐month VS rate on lopinavir/ritonavir‐based ART was high, comparable to those in Africa or high‐income countries. The father as the main child caregiver and lack of access to tap water are risk factors for viral failure and justify a special caution to improve adherence in these easy‐to‐identify situations before ART initiation. Public health challenges remain to optimize outcomes in children with earlier ART initiation in West Africa.

Efflux pump inhibitors are of great interest since their use as adjuvants of bacterial chemotherapy can increase the intracellular concentrations of the antibiotics and assist in the battle against the rising of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this work, we have described the mode of action of the 2-phenylquinoline efflux inhibitor (4-(2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethoxy)-2-(4-propoxyphenyl) quinolone – PQQ4R), againstEscherichia coli,by studding its efflux inhibitory ability, its synergistic activity in combination with antibiotics, and compared its effects with the inhibitors phenyl-arginine-β-naphthylamide (PAβN) and chlorpromazine (CPZ). The results showed that PQQ4R acts synergistically, in a concentration dependent manner, with antibiotics known to be subject to efflux inE. colireducing their MIC in correlation with the inhibition of their efflux. Real-time fluorometry assays demonstrated that PQQ4R at sub-inhibitory concentrations promote the intracellular accumulation of ethidium bromide inhibiting its efflux similarly to PAβN or CPZ, well-known and described efflux pump inhibitors for Gram-negative bacteria and whose clinical usage is limited by their levels of toxicity at clinical and bacteriological effective concentrations. The time-kill studies showed that PQQ4R, at bactericidal concentrations, has a rapid antimicrobial activity associated with a fast decrease of the intracellular ATP levels. The results also indicated that the mode of action of PQQ4R involves the destabilization of theE. coliinner membrane potential and ATP production impairment, ultimately leading to efflux pump inhibition by interference with the energy required by the efflux systems. At bactericidal concentrations, membrane permeabilization increases and finally ATP is totally depleted leading to cell death. Since drug resistance mediated by the activity of efflux pumps depends largely on the proton motive force (PMF), dissipaters of PMF such as PQQ4R, can be regarded as future adjuvants of conventional therapy againstE. coliand other Gram-negative bacteria, especially their multidrug resistant forms. Their major limitation is the high toxicity for human cells at the concentrations needed to be effective against bacteria. Their future molecular optimization to improve the efflux inhibitory properties and reduce relative toxicity will optimize their potential for clinical usage against multi-drug resistant bacterial infections due to efflux.
Emission pathways to achieve 2.0°C and 1.5°C climate targets

Published: April 2017

AbstractWe investigated the feasibilities of 2.0°C and 1.5°C climate targets by considering the abatement potentials of a full suite of greenhouse gases, pollutants, and aerosols. We revised the inter‐temporal dynamic optimization modelDICE‐2013Rby introducing three features as follows. First, we applied a new marginal abatement cost curve derived under moderate assumptions regarding future socioeconomic development—the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways 2 (SSP2) scenario. Second, we addressed emission abatement for not only industrialCO2but also land‐useCO2,CH4,N2O, halogenated gases,CO, volatile organic compounds, SOx, NOx, black carbon and organic carbon. Third, we improved the treatment of the non‐CO2components in the climate module based onMAGICC6.0. We obtained the following findings: (1) It is important to address the individual emissions in an analysis of low stabilization scenarios because abating land‐use CO2, non‐CO2and aerosol emissions also contributes to maintaining a low level of radiative forcing and substantially affects the climate costs. (2) The 2.0°C target can be efficiently reached under the assumptions of theSSP2scenario. (3) The 1.5°C target can be met with early deep cuts under the assumption of a temperature overshoot, and it will triple the carbon price and double the mitigation cost compared with the 2.0°C case.
Technical report: The design and evaluation of a basin‐scale wireless sensor network for mountain hydrology
Authors: Zhang Ziran , Glaser Steven D. , Bales Roger C. , Conklin Martha , Rice Robert , Marks Danny G. 
Published: April 2017

AbstractA network of sensors for spatially representative water‐balance measurements was developed and deployed across the 2000 km2 snow‐dominated portion of the upper American River basin, primarily to measure changes in snowpack and soil‐water storage, air temperature, and humidity. This wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of 14 sensor clusters, each with 10 measurement nodes that were strategically placed within a 1 km2 area, across different elevations, aspects, slopes, and canopy covers. Compared to existing operational sensor installations, the WSN reduces hydrologic uncertainty in at least three ways. First, redundant measurements improved estimation of lapse rates for air and dew‐point temperature. Second, distributed measurements captured local variability and constrained uncertainty in air and dew‐point temperature, snow accumulation, and derived hydrologic attributes important for modeling and prediction. Third, the distributed relative‐humidity measurements offer a unique capability to monitor upper‐basin patterns in dew‐point temperature and characterize elevation gradient of water vapor‐pressure deficit across steep, variable topography. Network statistics during the first year of operation demonstrated that the WSN was robust for cold, wet, and windy conditions in the basin. The electronic technology used in the WSN‐reduced adverse effects, such as high current consumption, multipath signal fading, and clock drift, seen in previous remote WSNs.
Coseismic changes of gravitational potential energy induced by global earthquakes based on spherical‐Earth elastic dislocation theory
Authors: Xu Changyi , Chao B. Fong 
Published: April 2017

AbstractWe compute the coseismic gravitational potential energy Eg change using the spherical‐Earth elastic dislocation theory and either the fault model treated as a point source or the finite fault model. The rate of the accumulative Eg loss produced by historical earthquakes from 1976 to 2016 (about 42,000 events) using the Global Centroid Moment Tensor Solution catalogue is estimated to be on the order of −2.1 × 1020 J/a, or −6.7 TW (1 TW = 1012 W), amounting to 15% in the total terrestrial heat flow. The energy loss is dominated by the thrust faulting, especially the megathrust earthquakes such as the 2004 Sumatra earthquake (Mw 9.0) and the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake (Mw 9.1). It is notable that the very deep focus events, the 1994 Bolivia earthquake (Mw 8.2) and the 2013 Okhotsk earthquake (Mw 8.3), produced significant overall coseismic Eg gain according to our calculation. The accumulative coseismic Eg is mainly lost in the mantle of the Earth and also lost in the core of the Earth but with a relatively smaller magnitude. By contrast, the crust of the Earth gains gravitational potential energy cumulatively because of the coseismic deformations. We further investigate the tectonic signature in the coseismic crustal Eg changes in some complex tectonic zone, such as Taiwan region and the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. We found that the coseismic Eg change is consistent with the regional tectonic character.
