La mort et les morts dans le roman policier
Authors: Thilliez Franck 
Published: February 2013

Résumé Nous avons tous, un jour ou l’autre, ouvert un roman policier, que ce soit dans le cadre scolaire ou pour notre plaisir personnel. Dans ce genre littéraire, la mort est souvent placée comme le centre même de l’intrigue, celle par qui l’enquête débute et la traque du criminel commence. Le « mort », qui apparaît la plupart du temps dès les premières pages, revêt alors différentes identités, suivant la relation qu’il entretient avec les multiples personnages du livre : « victime » pour les policiers, « cadavre » pour l’identité judiciaire, « sujet » pour le légiste, « proche » pour la famille ou les amis...Pourtant figé, il donne l’impression de continuer à évoluer, voire même de revenir à la vie, et semble tenir une place à part entière dans le récit. Le mort a-t-il toujours une place prépondérante dans le roman policier ? Comment évolue-t-il au fil d’une enquête policière ? Quelle relation l’auteur entretient-il avec ce personnage très particulier ? L’écriture change-t-elle le rapport de l’écrivain à la mort ?
Métaphysique du Joker
Authors: Quinzel Harleen 
Published: February 2013

Résumé Lorsque James Holmes, le tueur d’Aurora, affirme au moment de son arrestation « Je suis le Joker », en référence au dernier film mettant en scène Batman, il illustre l’une des actualisations possibles du virtuel qui peuple nos espaces médiatiques. On restera démuni face de tels passages à l’acte, de même que face aux médias eux-mêmes, tant qu’on ne comprendra pas mieux quelle est la nature de ce virtuel qu’ils font advenir à l’être.
Anthony Braxton, méta-réaliste
Authors: Pierrepont Alexandre 
Published: February 2013

Résumé Le multi-instrumentaliste et compositeur Anthony Braxton a progressivement mis en place un système musical rejetant la pensée binaire et les dichotomies, et cela en trois stades successifs : une étape architecturale, une étape philosophique et une étape rituelle et cérémonielle. Cette dernière intègre les précédentes dans un ensemble mythologique en perpétuelle construction, de l’ordre d’une « méta-réalité ». Elle fait du musicien un storyteller ésotérique au service d’une utopie sonore, de laquelle émane le désir d’un autre monde possible, à travers l’exploration d’une multitude de logiques, de structures et de cultures s’interpénétrant.
« We come in peace »
Authors: Claisse Frédéric 
Published: February 2013

Résumé Apparus dans le contexte idéologique de la Yougoslavie finissante, le groupe slovène de musique industrielle Laibach et son organisation faîtière, le Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), ont contribué à renouveler la grammaire de la contestation, à travers le principe de « rétrogardisme » et la technique de suridentification aux codes esthétiques du pouvoir. L’article revient sur la trajectoire du groupe, dont il démonte les stratégies en insistant sur la dimension systématiquement ironique de son mode d’énonciation, notamment de son art de la reprise.
Sécurité alimentaire et responsabilité sociale des entreprises
Authors: Teller Marina 
Published: February 2013

Résumé La sécurité alimentaire est devenue un thème de communication chez certaines entreprises qui l’ont intégrée au discours général relatif à la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (ci-après RSE). La sécurité alimentaire est-elle du ressort de l’entreprise privée ? Quelles en sont les modalités et est-ce une voie d’avenir pour cet enjeu aussi décisif que complexe ? Ces questions révèlent l’ambivalence des acteurs privés qui peuvent proposer des initiatives intéressantes en la matière, mais qui campent encore sur une conception actionnariale du profit. Parce que la richesse privée est rarement redistribuée dans la perspective d’une meilleure sécurité alimentaire, il sera intéressant d’observer les pratiques mises en œuvre par quelques acteurs du secteur bancaire et industriel afin d’apprécier l’efficacité des démarches de RSE. Cette observation des pratiques suscite certaines réserves, voire des réserves certaines. L’initiative privée ne peut venir qu’en appui d’une démarche des États et elle ne saurait occulter la nécessité d’une régulation juridique de la sécurité alimentaire.
Cloud computing for radiologists
Authors: Kharat Amit T , Safvi Amjad , Thind S S , Singh Amarjit 
Published: February 2013

AbstractCloud computing is a concept wherein a computer grid is created using the Internet with the sole purpose of utilizing shared resources such as computer software, hardware, on a pay-per-use model. Using Cloud computing, radiology users can efficiently manage multimodality imaging units by using the latest software and hardware without paying huge upfront costs. Cloud computing systems usually work on public, private, hybrid, or community models. Using the various components of a Cloud, such as applications, client, infrastructure, storage, services, and processing power, Cloud computing can help imaging units rapidly scale and descale operations and avoid huge spending on maintenance of costly applications and storage. Cloud computing allows flexibility in imaging. It sets free radiology from the confines of a hospital and creates a virtual mobile office. The downsides to Cloud computing involve security and privacy issues which need to be addressed to ensure the success of Cloud computing in the future.
Contrast injected, scan triggered, but where has contrast gone?
Authors: Gupta Pankaj , Gulati Gupreet Singh , Guleria Munish 
Published: February 2013

AbstractIntra-arterial injections during CT scan examinations are a rare occurrence in day-to-day radiology practice but are of potential significance when they do occur. They render an imaging study non-diagnostic, and for imaging techniques like CT scan, expose patient to undue radiation dose. Equally disturbing for both patient and clinicians, including radiologists, is the need for repeat imaging. For certain emergency indications, such an event may yield erroneous results and severely hamper patient′s management. We report one such event that occurred in our cardiac CT scan section with the aim to raise awareness about such events among our colleagues.
Advanced Design of Hierarchical Topographies in Metallic Surfaces by Combining Micro‐Coining and Laser Interference Patterning
Authors: Gachot Carsten , Rosenkranz Andreas , Wietbrock Burkhard , Hirt Gerhard , Mücklich Frank 
Published: February 2013

AbstractA new process idea to create hierarchical surface structures is based on the combination of micro‐coining and laser interference patterning. Micro‐coining already proved to be a high precision cold bulk metal forging process which allows for the production of small surface structures in the range of 20–200 µm while fulfilling high requirements related to the geometrical accuracy of those structures. In addition to that, laser interference patterning utilizes interfering laser beams from a pulsed solid state Nd: YAG laser to generate precisely defined surface topographies with a long‐range order on the micron‐scale. For the first time, initial results of a process combination consisting of micro‐coining and laser interference metallurgy to induce hierarchical surface structures will be presented. The results highlight the advantages of the sequence micro‐coining prior to laser interference patterning due to smaller defects in contrast to the inverted process cycle. Additionally, process limitations such as shadowing which may result from steep flank angles of the coined structures and surface roughness effects are discussed by the use of finite element simulations within this research work.

Published: February 2013

AbstractMetallodielectric materials with plasmonic resonances at optical and infrared wavelengths are attracting increasing interest, due to their potential novel applications in the fields of photonics, plasmonics and photovoltaics. However, simple and fast fabrication methods for three‐dimensional bulk plasmonic nanocomposites that offer control over the size, shape and chemical composition of the plasmonic elements have been missing. Here, such a manufacturing method and examples of experimental realizations of volumetric isotropic nanocomposites doped with plasmonic nanoparticles that exhibit resonances at visible and infrared wavelengths are presented. This method is based on doping a low‐melting dielectric material with plasmonic nanoparticles, using a directional glass‐solidification process. Transmission‐spectroscopy experiments confirm a homogenous distribution of the nanoparticles, isotropy of the material and resonant behavior. The phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance is also observed visually. This approach may enable rapid and cost‐efficient manufacturing of bulk nanoplasmonic composites with single or multiple resonances at various wavelength ranges. These composites could be isotropic or anisotropic, and potentially co‐doped with other chemical agents, in order to enhance different optical processes.

Published: February 2013

AbstractAdhesion of a cured dental opaquer, which masks metallic appearance and color, to sandblasted Ti aided by 3‐methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) is investigated. The tensile bond strengths of Ti and the opaquer are 43.3 and 45.9 MPa, respectively, when MPTS dissolved in ethanol (6 wt %) and premixed with the opaquer (3 wt %) are applied to the sandblasted Ti surface. Mirror finishing alone and sandblasting alone result in the bond strengths of 1.8 and 21.3 MPa, respectively. After thermal cycling (4 and 60°C for 5000 cycles), the bond strengths of the Ti with sandblasting and the MPTS treatment remain higher than that of the Ti with sandblasting only. Sandblasting and the MPTS treatment effectively promote the adhesion of the opaquer to Ti that rapidly forms an oxide surface layer. The silane‐aided adhesion of the opaquer to the sandblasted NiCr, CoCr, and AuAgPd alloys attain adhesive strengths of 33.2, 31.9, and 31.6 MPa, respectively. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

A correlation context‐aware approach for composite service selection
Authors: Zhang Mingwei , Liu Chengfei , Yu Jian , Zhu Zhiliang , Zhang Bin 
Published: February 2013

SUMMARYComposite service selection is one of the core research issues in Web service composition. Because of the complex service correlation context, candidate services may perform differently when being used with other services. Presently, most service selection approaches ignore this issue, which makes the selected composite services less efficient than expected. To solve this problem, a service correlation context‐aware composite service selection approach is proposed on the basis of the concept of single‐entry single‐exit (SESE) region. The general process of our approach is as follows: (1) mining the SESE patterns that are frequently used together in the set of efficiently executed instances of a composite service; (2) dividing the process model of the composite service into SESE regions and generating the candidate SESE pattern set of each region, using the discovered SESE pattern set; and (3) optimizing composite service selection globally on the basis of QoS using divided regions as selection units and their candidate pattern sets as candidate service sets. Because SESE patterns are testified by large amount of efficiently executed instances, they have higher quality than the results of independent selection of services in an SESE region. Experimental results demonstrated that our approach can improve the quality of selected composite services effectively in the correlation context.

On the uncertainty of CFD in sail aerodynamics
Authors: Viola I.M. , Bot P. , Riotte M. 
Published: February 2013

SUMMARYA verification and validation procedure for yacht sail aerodynamics is presented. Guidelines and an example of application are provided. The grid uncertainty for the aerodynamic lift, drag and pressure distributions for the sails is computed. The pressures are validated against experimental measurements, showing that the validation procedure may allow the identification of modelling errors. Lift, drag and L2 norm of the pressures were computed with uncertainties of the order of 1%. Convergence uncertainty and round‐off uncertainty are several orders of magnitude smaller than the grid uncertainty. The uncertainty due to the dimension of the computational domain is computed for a flat plate at incidence and is found to be significant compared with the other uncertainties. Finally, it is shown how the probability that the ranking between different geometries is correct can be estimated knowing the uncertainty in the computation of the value used to rank.

Molecular surveillance of rubella viruses in Taiwan from 2005 to 2011
Authors: Cheng Wen‐Yueh , Wang Hsiao‐Chi , Liu Ming‐Tsan , Wu Ho‐Sheng 
Published: February 2013

AbstractRubella has been listed as a mandatory notifiable disease in Taiwan since 1988. Because of high coverage rates with an effective vaccine, rubella cases have decreased dramatically in Taiwan since 1994. However, rubella outbreaks still occur due to imported transmission. Five large clusters were detected in Taiwan from 2007 to 2011. In 2007, one cluster was caused by rubella genotype 1E viruses that were imported from Vietnam, whereas another cluster was caused by genotype 2B viruses and was untraceable. In 2008, two clusters were caused by different lineages of genotype 1E viruses that were imported from Malaysia. In 2009, a cluster that was caused by genotype 2B viruses was associated with imported cases from Vietnam. The rubella viruses from 124 confirmed cases from 2005 to 2011 were characterized, and the data revealed that these viruses were distributed in the following four genotypes: 1E (n = 56), 1h (n = 1), 1j (n = 4), and 2B (n = 63). Of these viruses, 93 (75%) were associated with imported cases, and 43 of 56 genotype 1E viruses were associated with imported cases from China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. One genotype 1h virus was imported from Belarus, and three of four genotype 1j viruses were imported from the Philippines. Of 63 rubella genotype 2B viruses, 46 were imported from Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Germany, and South Africa. Molecular surveillance allows for the differentiation of circulating rubella viruses and can be used to investigate transmission pathways, which are important to identify the interruption of endemic virus transmission.

Some aspects of the urban climates of Greater Cairo Region, Egypt
Authors: Robaa S. M. 
Published: February 2013

ABSTRACTRapid urbanization and industrialization over Greater Cairo Region (GCR), Egypt, have resulted in sharp land cover changes. Urban change not only impacts on land cover but also on urban climate. Detailed studies on the effect of urbanization and industrialization processes on climatic elements in GCR have been performed in this study. Five different districts were selected to represent rural, suburban, urban and industrial areas in GCR. The data of monthly mean values of minimum, maximum and mean temperatures, wind speed, relative humidity, cloud amount and rainfall amounts for the period (1990–2010) were used. The results revealed that, for each district, whenever urbanization and/or industrialization increase, the values of minimum, maximum and mean temperatures increase while the values of wind speed, relative humidity, cloud amount and rainfall amounts decrease. The effects of industrialization processes on the climatic elements were found stronger than the effects of urbanization processes. The greatest urban–rural climatic differences were found to be 5.9, 3.1, 3.9 °C, 3.6 kt, 13.9%, 1.1 octas and 7.0 mm for the minimum, maximum and mean temperatures, wind speed, relative humidity, cloud amount and rainfall amounts, respectively, while the greatest industrial–rural climatic differences were found to be 6.7, 4.3, 4.4 °C, 4.4 kt, 17.6%, 1.7 octas and 8.0 mm for the minimum, maximum and mean temperatures, wind speed, relative humidity, cloud amount and rainfall amounts, respectively.

Published: February 2013

ABSTRACTBackgroundFunctional movement disorders (FMDs) are thought to be rare in the elderly. Clinical characteristics of the elderly people who develop FMDs are rarely reported. The objective of this study was to highlight the clinical characteristics of FMD in the elderly and compared these with a cohort of patients with a younger age of onset.MethodsThe authors performed a retrospective review of the clinical records of patients with FMD who were seen at their center in the last 5 years and had consented to be included in research studies. Patients fulfilling currently accepted diagnostic criteria for FMD as documented, clinically established, or probable were included.ResultsOf 151 patients with FMD who were identified and had sufficient information, 21.0% (n=33) had an onset after age 60 years (elderly group). The mean age of onset of FMD was 63.5 years (standard deviation, 5.2 years) in the elderly group and 35.5 years (standard deviation, 12.6 years) in the younger group. Tremor was the most common movement disorder in both groups (elderly group, 33.3%; younger group: 38.9%). Fixed dystonia was not observed in any patient who had an FMD onset after age 60 years. Gait abnormalities were significantly more common in the elderly group (69.7%) than in younger patients (23.5%; P<0.001). Associated psychogenic nonepileptic seizures tended to be more common in elderly patients (18.2%) compared with younger patients (13%; P=0.06).ConclusionsContrary to common perceptions, FMDs are not uncommon in the elderly, and 1 in 5 patients in the current cohort, onset of FMD occurred after age 60 years. Gait abnormalities and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures may be more common in older patients. © 2013 Movement Disorder Society
