Rôle de la prosodie dans la perception de variétés régionale et non-native du français
Authors: Avanzi Mathieu 
Published: July 2016

Cet article présente les résultats d'une expérience dans laquelle nous avons présenté à 120 participants Français, Suisses romands et Suisses alémaniques des stimuli de parole filtrée ( i.e. dépourvus de leurs propriétés segmentales) et des stimuli de parole naturelle, extraits de productions de locuteurs Parisiens, Neuchâtelois et du « français fédéral » ( i.e. de français produit par des locuteurs dont la langue maternelle est un dialecte suisse alémanique). Les résultats révèlent que, si toutes les variétés sont bien identifiées en parole non-filtrée, les résultats sont plus contrastés dans la condition filtrée. Des analyses complémentaires ont ensuite permis de révéler que le rôle des indices prosodiques (relatifs aux dimensions temporelles et accentuelles de la parole) n'étaient pas exploités de la même façon par les auditeurs lors de l'identification des variétés en jeu.
L’Association du Barreau près la Cour pénale internationale (ABCPI) : Une naissance douloureuse
Authors: Mabanga Ghislain 
Published: July 2016

Le 30 juin 2016 s’est tenu à La Haye, au siège de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI, Cour), le Congrès constitutif de l’Association du Barreau près la Cour pénale internationale (ABCPI), association représentative des conseils exerçant devant la CPI et de leurs assistants. L’adoption, à cette occasion, des statuts de l’ABCPI (ci-après « statuts ») a consacré la naissance officielle de cette association, qui était déjà enregistrée auprès de la Chambre de commerce néerlandaise en date du 14 avril 2016. Ce Congrès fut suivi, le 1er juillet 2016, de la première Assemblée générale de l’association, au terme de laquelle eut lieu l’élection du Britannique David Hooper QC comme président de l’association – un pied de nez des avocats au Brexit ? – et d’un Conseil exécutif composé de 14 membres, dont trois issus des barreaux français. En l’état, la création de cette association constitue une première devant la Cour. En effet, si la règle 20-3 du Règlement de procédure et de preuve de la CPI (RPP) prévoit, notamment en matière d’organisation de l’aide judiciaire et d’élaboration d’un code de conduite professionnelle, une collaboration entre le Greffe et « toute instance indépendante représentative d’associations d’avocats ou de conseillers juridiques », il n’en demeure pas moins qu’une telle instance n’a jamais vu le jour devant la Cour. La naissance de l’ABCPI intervient cependant dans un contexte de vives tensions avec des barreaux nationaux et associations professionnelles qui lui reprochent principalement de manquer d’indépendance vis-à-vis de la Cour. Cet article a comme objectif d’éclairer le processus de création de cette association et d’en préciser la nature, afin de dissiper des malentendus dus à l’absence d’information.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT

Aims
To evaluate dimensional stability when various combinations of dental plaster and dental stone are used as an investment material.

Context
Dental plaster is routinely used as an investing material to acrylize dentures with some acceptable linear dimensional changes in the finished acrylic denture. This study aimed to evaluate which combination of dental plaster and dental stone, when used as an investment, will produce fewer linear dimensional changes in acrylic dentures.

Materials and methods
An aluminum block is prepared with sharp margins. The block is invested with various combinations of dental plaster and dental stone. The linear dimensional changes are measured using a digital caliper.

Statistical analysis
The results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using analysis of variance test.

Results
Investing with 100% dental stone and a combination of 70% dental stone and 30% dental plaster showed fewer dimensional changes.

Conclusion
A combination containing higher percentage of dental stone may be used for investing to produce a finished denture with fewer linear dimensional changes.

Awareness among Patients regarding Dental Implants as a Treatment Option for replacing Missing Teeth in Melmaruvathur Population
Authors: Narayanan Venkatesan , Karuppiah Prabhu , Rajasekar Arunkumar , Mayavan Lakshmi D 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT

Background
Treatment with dental implants has become increasingly important in the range of prosthodontic treatment. Significant improvements in oral rehabilitation particularly in edentulous individuals have been seen. In Adhiparasakthi Dental College, Melmaruvathur, a survey was made to evaluate awareness among patients for dental implants, their level of knowledge, and attitude toward replacement of missing teeth by dental implants.

Materials and methods
A survey of 480 people was conducted through a printed questionnaire and completed by willing respondents. The questionnaires were prepared in English and Tamil language to enable better understanding and completion.

Results
Of the 510 people surveyed, 480 responses were retrieved, of which 331 were aware of dental implant treatment in Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu. Among them, 304 respondents were aware that implants could be used for replacement of missing teeth. Most of the respondents stated that dental implants were placed in the jawbone, followed by gums. Only 41% respondents assumed that implants last for a lifetime and only 35% of respondents believe that poor oral hygiene was the most common cause of implant failure.

Conclusion
More dental education programs are needed to improve understanding of the importance of restoration of missing teeth. General implant awareness levels are satisfactory. However, increased awareness of patients for restoration of missing tooth with dental implants is necessary. Dental education programs with special emphasis on advantages, treatment, maintenance, and postoperative care of dental implant therapy are needed. More than two-thirds of the surveyed population is interested in knowing about and being treated with dental implants.

Innovative use of Single-stage Secondary Impression in treating Oral Rigidity due to Submucous Fibrosis
Authors: Bindhoo YA , Thirumurthy VR , Manohar Vishnu , Kurien Anjana 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
Restricted mouth opening of a patient presents a great challenge in prosthodontic rehabilitation, especially with complete dentures. Making an adequate border molded secondary impression is crucial in the success of such prostheses. Numerous techniques exist for making impressions in cases of microstomia. All of them involve sectional impressions and extraoral reorientation of the segments. Peripheral seal is compromised in these procedures. This article is laid out to explain how preserving border seal by using single-stage impression is by far the best technique found in the Prosthodontic literature to eliminate the cumbersome sectional impression method. A new method of preserving the seal by means of an impression recorded at a single stage is proposed.

Abstract. The extent to which water uptake influences the light scattering ability of marine sea spray aerosol (SSA) particles depends critically on SSA chemical composition. The organic fraction of SSA can increase during phytoplankton blooms, decreasing the salt content and therefore the hygroscopicity of the particles. In this study, subsaturated hygroscopic growth factors at 85 % relative humidity (GF(85 %)) of predominately submicron SSA particles were quantified during two induced phytoplankton blooms in marine aerosol reference tanks (MARTs). One MART was illuminated with fluorescent lights and the other was illuminated with sunlight, referred to as the "indoor" and "outdoor" MARTs, respectively. Optically weighted GF(85 %) values for SSA particles were derived from measurements of light scattering and particle size distributions. The mean optically weighted SSA diameters were 530 and 570 nm for the indoor and outdoor MARTs, respectively. The GF(85 %) measurements were made concurrently with online particle composition measurements, including bulk composition (using an Aerodyne high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometer) and single particle (using an aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer) measurement, and a variety of water-composition measurements. During both microcosm experiments, the observed optically weighted GF(85 %) values were depressed substantially relative to pure inorganic sea salt by 5 to 15 %. There was also a time lag between GF(85 %) depression and the peak chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations by either 1 (indoor MART) or 3-to-6 (outdoor MART) days. The fraction of organic matter in the SSA particles generally increased after the Chl a peaked, also with a time lag, and ranged from about 0.25 to 0.5 by volume. The observed depression in the GF(85 %) values (relative to pure sea salt) is consistent with the large observed volume fractions of non-refractory organic matter (NR-OM) comprising the SSA. The GF(85 %) values exhibited a reasonable negative correlation with the SSA NR-OM volume fractions after the peak of the blooms (i.e., Chl a maxima); i.e., the GF(85 %) values generally decreased when the NR-OM volume fractions increased. The GF(85 %) vs. NR-OM volume fraction relationship was interpreted using the Zdanovskii–Stokes–Robinson (ZSR) mixing rule and used to estimate the GF(85 %) of the organic matter in the nascent SSA. The estimated pure NR-OM GF(85 %) values were 1.16 ± 0.09 and 1.23 ± 0.10 for the indoor and outdoor MARTS, respectively. These measurements demonstrate a clear relationship between SSA particle composition and the sensitivity of light scattering to variations in relative humidity. The implications of these observations to the direct climate effects of SSA particles are discussed.
EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF THE CHARLESBY AND HORIKX MODELS APPLIED TO DE-VULCANIZATION OF SULFUR AND PEROXIDE VULCANIZATES OF NR AND EPDM

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTThe theoretical model developed by Charlesby to quantify the balance between cross-links creation of polymers and chain scission during radiation cross-linking and further modifications by Horikx to describe network breakdown from aging were merged to characterize the balance of both types of scission on the development of the sol content during de-vulcanization of rubber networks. There are, however, disturbing factors in these theoretical considerations vis-à-vis practical reality. Sulfur- and peroxide-cured NR and EPDM vulcanizates were de-vulcanized under conditions of selective cross-link and random main-chain scissions. Cross-link scission was obtained using thiol-amine reagents for selective cleavage of sulfur cross-links. Random main-chain scission was achieved by heating peroxide vulcanizates of NR with diphenyldisulfide, a method commonly employed for NR reclaiming. An important factor in the analyses of these experiments is the cross-linking index. Its value must be calculated using the sol fraction of the cross-linked network before de-vulcanization to obtain reliable results. The values for the cross-linking index calculated with sol-gel data before de-vulcanization appear to fit the experimentally determined modes of network scission during de-vulcanization very well. This study confirms that the treatment of de-vulcanization data with the merged Charlesby and Horikx models can be used satisfactorily to characterize the de-vulcanization of NR and EPDM vulcanizates.

Abstract
Blue/pink/purple electroluminescence (EL) from metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) devices with an indium tin oxide (ITO)/[Gd/(Ta + Gd/Pr)/(Pr + Ce)–Si–O] insulator layer/n+-Si substrate surface is reported. The insulator layers were fabricated from organic liquid sources of Gd or (Ta + Gd/Pr)/(Pr + Ce) mixtures, which were spin-coated on the n+-Si substrate and annealed at 950 °C for 30 min in air. The EL emission could be observed by the naked eye in the dark in the Fowler–Nordheim (FN) tunnel current regions. Peak wavelengths in the measured EL spectra were independent of the positive current. The EL intensity ratio of ultraviolet (UV) to the visible range varied with the composition ratio of the (Ta + Gd) liquids, and an optimum Ta to Gd ratio existed for the strongest blue emission, which could be attributed to the Ta-related oxide/silicate. The pink EL of the device fabricated with the (

) mixture ratio can be explained by EL emission peaks related to the Pr3+ ions. The purple EL observed from the (

) device corresponds to the strong and broad emission profile near the 357 nm peak, which cannot be assigned to Ce3+ ions. The results suggest that the EL can be attributed to the double-layer oxides with different compositions in the MOS devices. The upper layer consists of various Ta-, Gd-, Pr-, and Ce-related oxides and their silicates, while the lower SiO
x
-rich layer contributes to the FN current due to the high electric field, and thus the various EL colors.

AbstractThe aim of the research was to assess the current trend and variation in rainfall and temperature in the Upper East Region, Ghana, using time series moving average analysis and decomposition methods. Meteorological data obtained from the Ghana Meteorological Agency in Accra, Ghana, from 1954 to 2014 were used in the models. The additive decomposition model was used to analyze the rainfall because the seasonal variation was relatively constant over time, while the multiplicative model was used for both the daytime and nighttime temperatures because their seasonal variations increase over time. The monthly maximum and the minimum values for the entire period were as follows: rainfall 455.50 and 0.00 mm, nighttime temperature 29.10°C and 13.25°C and daytime temperature 41.10°C and 26.10°C, respectively. Also, while rainfall was decreasing, nighttime and daytime temperatures were increasing in decadal times. Since both the daytime and nighttime temperatures were increasing and rainfall was decreasing, climate extreme events such as droughts could result and affect agriculture in the region, which is predominantly rain fed. Also, rivers, dams, and dugouts are likely to dry up in the region. It was also observed that there was much variation in rainfall making prediction difficult. Day temperatures were generally high with the months of March and April have been the highest. The months of December recorded the lowest night temperature. Inhabitants are therefore advised to sleep in well‐ventilated rooms during the warmest months and wear protective clothing during the cold months to avoid contracting climate‐related diseases.
The effect of two types of El Niño on the southerly low‐level jets in North America

Published: July 2016

AbstractLow‐level jets (LLJs) are frequent weather phenomena in many regions of North America and have profound impacts on precipitation and wind energy. We used a 31 year (1979–2010) three‐hourly reanalysis data set to examine the teleconnection between southerly LLJ activity in North America and the two dominant patterns of the equatorial Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies characterized by El Niño and El Niño Modoki. We show that El Niño and El Niño Modoki exert different effects on the jet activities, and the results vary by region and by season. Overall, El Niño Modoki affects jet activity all year round, but El Niño's influence is limited mostly to the cold season (October–March). El Niño Modoki induces larger changes in jet frequency, but El Niño's influence extends to larger regions. A better understanding of this teleconnection can be used to improve seasonal predictions of precipitation and wind energy resources in regions of North America.
Acquisition of detrital magnetization in four turbidites

Published: July 2016

AbstractTurbiditic events are mostly avoided in paleomagnetic studies and therefore their remanence and magnetic properties are poorly described. Turbidites are exempt of bioturbation and potentially provide pertinent information about depositional remanence. We studied four quaternary turbidites of different origins in marine sediment cores. Upward fining of both magnetic and sedimentary fractions indicates that coarser grains reached the bottom first. We observe a progressive shallowing of the magnetic inclinations between the upper and bottom layers of the turbidites that increases with the size of the events and obeys a simple linear scaling law. Measurements of magnetic anisotropy suggest that hydrodynamic conditions prevailing during deposition seem to be dominant for the alignment of the magnetic grains. We suggest that small spherical grains are randomly oriented with zero resultant magnetization in presence of strong turbulent conditions, while the alignment of elongated grains is constrained by the competition between gravity and magnetic forces. A possible scenario is that under turbulent conditions they tend to rest at the bottom with their long axes parallel to the sediment surface and therefore with shallow inclinations, whereas weakly turbulent conditions like during the smallest (26 cm thick) event do not disturb the magnetic alignment and therefore do not generate inclination shallowing.
Recognizing magnetostratigraphy in overprinted and altered marine sediments: Challenges and solutions from IODP Site U1437
Authors: Musgrave Robert J. , Kars Myriam 
Published: July 2016

AbstractCore disturbance, drilling overprints, postdepositional acquisition of remanence, authigenic growth of magnetic iron sulfides, and alteration all contribute challenges to recognizing the primary magnetostratigraphy in marine sediments. We address these issues in a sequence of tuffaceous muds and volcaniclastics at International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1437 and produce the longest continuous magnetic polarity stratigraphy in the history of scientific ocean drilling. Remanence measurements were filtered to remove intervals affected by fluidization, plastic sediment disturbance, and core biscuiting. Drilling overprints are concentrated in the disturbed annulus surrounding intact core material. Bioturbation was limited to a vertical extent of at most 15 cm. Changes in sediment color, stiffness, and magnetic hysteresis all suggest that remanence was locked in within a few meters of the sediment–water interface. We did not observe any systematic offset between magnetostratigraphic and biostratigraphic datums. Authigenic growth of greigite, in response to both initial sulfate reduction in the upper 50 m of the sediment column and to deeper resupply of sulfate, has led to magnetic overprinting. Anomalous polarity artefacts, extending <5 m and occurring within about 20 m below a real polarity transition, appear to be due to a chemical remanence acquired by greigite produced during early diagenesis. Diagenetic magnetic mineral alteration resulted in the progressive loss of fine‐grained magnetite, which enhanced susceptibility to drilling and postdrilling overprints and increased the resistance of these overprints to removal by conventional demagnetization. We recovered the magnetostratigraphic record from many samples with resistant overprints through low‐temperature demagnetization through the Verwey transition.
