Reconstruction du paysage et de l'empreinte humaine en Suisse Centrale (OW-NW) au Tardiglaciaire würmien et à l'Holocène
Authors: Sidler Catherine 
Published: May 2009

Four pollen profiles from three different localities in Central Switzerland (fig. 1) were studied. The profiles of Obwalden and Nidwalden permit the reconstruction of the vegetation of the Wiirm late glacial and Holocene.
Fourteen C-14 measurements define the development of the vegetation. At Obbürgen this development can be traced from the oldest Dryas (~ 13500 BP) untill to the Subboreal (~ 3500 BP) and at Merlialp and at Gerzensee from the Subboreal untill the Subatlantic. The oldest Dryas is illustrated by a steppic flora (Artemisia, Helianthemum : - 13500 - 12500 BP), the Bolling by bush (Hippophâe, Betula ; (~ 12500 - 11600 BP) and the Allerod by a forest (Pinus, Betula : 11600 - 10300 BP). Three phases of a steppic flora characterise the youngest Dryas (10300 - 9800 BP). During the Preboreal (9750 BP) the Quercetum mixtum and Corylus immigrate and at the Boreal they expand (climatic optimum : 8100 BP). During the Atlantic, Abies immigrate at about 7800 BP, then Picea and Fagus at about 6800 BP. During the Subboreal the Quercetum mixtum, Abies and Picea retreat whereas Alnus and Fagus expand. At the old Subatlantic Picea and Fagus prevail, at the young Subatlantic the forest retreats and the cultures develop. The beginning of one culture phase (Cerealia, Cannabis-Humulus, Juglans) is dated 1055 BP at the Merlialp; at Gerzensee the same phase is dated 1045 BP. At Gerzensee the phase of Juglans is dated about 800 BP. At Obbürgen another culture phase seems to have existed during the middle of the Bronze age (post 3500 BP), but actually this cannot be confirmed.
Le cône détritique de la Drôme : une contribution à la connaissance de l'Holocène du Sud-Est de la France

Published: May 2009

Two cores were drilled in the river Drômes's vast and thick (10-12 m) holocène alluvial cone, where it flows into the river Rhône. The presence of alterning layers of terrigenous silty-clayey sediments and organic peaty loam made it possible - thanks to sedimentology and radiocarbon dating - to identify the different evolving phases of the river. The period of post-maxi wurmian river-bed formation ends before 11 850 B.P. It is followed until 7000 B.P. by a period of low accumulation (average rate: 10 centimeters per 1000 years) and then between 7000 B.P. and 3000 B.P., by a stage of accelerated accumulation (2 meters per 1000 years). Subsequently and up to the present the average rate drops markedly (50 centimeters per 1000 years), although this doesn't necessarily indicate a decrease in erosion phenomena nor a slowdown in downstream accumulation : increase in the cone's surface area and retention of recent upstream accumulation.
We would suggest an attempted correlation between on the one hand the detrital accumulation crisis from 7000 B.P., and on the other, the early and large anthropisation of the mountain basin during the Middle and perhaps even Early Neolithic periods equally demonstrated by pollen analysis. Therefore could be explained the importance of both upstream erosion phenomena and downstream accumulation.
Une tourbière interglaciaire sur la plage de La Parée à Brétignolles (Vendée - France) : première approche pollenanalytique
Authors: Bernard Jacques , Visset Lionel 
Published: May 2009

Les dépôts tourbeux sur la côte vendéenne, à proximité du niveau zéro NGF, sont beaucoup plus complexes que ne le laissaient supposer les publications antérieures. Les dépôts flandriens décrits ont été retrouvés, mais une formation organique, avec de la tourbe associée à des débris de bois nombreux et des vestiges attribués à plusieurs individus de Elephas antiquus, est plus ancienne. L'analyse pollinique de ces niveaux anté-holocènes témoigne d'une végétation interglaciaire.
L'association des taxons exclut l'appartenance au Pléistocene ancien de même qu'au Flandrien et la datation radiocarbone indique un âge antérieur à la limite de fiabilité de la méthode. Par comparaison avec des régions dont les variations du niveau marin et l'évolution de la végétation quaternaire sont mieux connues, cet interglaciaire peut être attribué à l'Holsteinien (Mindel-Riss) ou à l'Eémien (Riss-Würm).
Les complexes détritiques de marge glaciaire active du Bas Chablais oriental : implications hydrogéologiques .
Authors: Nicoud Gérard , Coddet Emmanuelle , Blavoux Bernard , Dray Martial 
Published: May 2009

The presence of a wurmian glacier in the Geneva lake basin has blocked the alluvial lateral deposits of the Chablaisian torrents. So, two thick clastic complexes deposited, the first during the englaciation (Evian), the second during the déglaciation (Thonon). The build up of the glacial margin accumulation is detailed for a better understanding of the glacial paleodynamics.
Groundwaters in the permeable media show hydrogeochemical and bacteriological characteristics specific to each geological complex , to its origin and therefore, to its hydrodynamic. The Evian complex is particularly identified by the very performing filtration of its sandy-gravelly sedimentologic composition and by a natural protection provided by the upper wurmian morainic cover.
Les formations affleurantes et superficielles aquifères de la région bordelaise (application : géothermie basse température)
Authors: Dia Mamadou 
Published: May 2009

La nappe phréatique bordelaise est étudiée à travers trois formations de nature et d'âges différents: alluvions fluviatiles (Plio-quaternaire), calcaires gréseux fossilifères (Miocène), calcaires à Astéries (Oligocène) rencontrés sur le territoire de la Communauté Urbaine de Bordeaux.
Ces trois aquifères aux caractéristiques géologiques, hydrogéologiques et hydrogéochimiques bien distinctes présentent un point commun intéressant: ils peuvent être utilisés comme source de chaleur basse température pour le chauffage.
Coastal changes in the Gulf of Valencia (Spain) during the subatlantic period. [ Variations de la ligne de rivage dans le Golfe de Valence (Espagne) pendant la période subatlantlique.]
Authors: Carmona Pilar , Dupré Michèle , Belluomini Giorgio 
Published: May 2009

Dans le cadre d'un projet de recherche concernant la zone côtière de Valence (Espagne), l'étude d'une nouvelle coupe stratigraphique a confirmé la plupart des hypothèses présentées dans des travaux antérieurs. Les différentes sections de la coupe offrent une séquence sedimentaire de la plaine alluviale valencienne, proche de la ligne de rivage. Elle est formée de sédiments lagunaires tourbeux, avec des formations dunaires et de plage qui contiennent d'abondants restes de végétation arboréenne.
Ce faciès littoral a été attribué à la dernière phase transgressive holocène observée dans les sections stratigraphiques de la côte. Il montre que les dépôts côtiers furent érodés, puis enterrés sous une accumulation de sable, limon et argile d'origine fluviale pendant une longue période historique (de la culture ibérique puis romaine jusqu'au Moyen Age). Ce phénomène a pu être mis au jour grâce aux séquences géoarchéologiques de la ville de Valence. L'analyse pollinique d'échantillons de cette coupe a permis de mieux connaître la végétation subatlantique dans la région (2.700 BP, selon la chronologie de Blytt et Sernander).
Enregistrement sédimentaire des variations climatiques quaternaires sur la bordure NW du Rift de la Mer Rouge (Egypte) [ Sedimentary record of quaternary climatic changes on the NW border of the Red Sea rift (Egypt). ]
Authors: Conchon Odette , Baltzer Frédéric , Purser Bruce 
Published: May 2009

The desert piedmont of the East-Egyptian chain consists partly of Quaternary alluvial fans and terraces which result from detntal sedimentation (coarse, heterometric material), in alternation with periods of linear incision and planar erosion.
The properties of these clastic sediments (bedding, clast-support systems, fabric, grain-size, cementations) and the incisions suggest a moderately and to semi-arid climate. The comparisons with the chronology of desert neighbouring regions, and the chronology of climatic changes in these regions, lead to propose that incision and sedimentation occurred during transitional phases between global interglacial and glacial maxima.
The continental alluviation alternates with the construction of littoral reefs during high glacio-eustatic sea-level. The fringing reefs of the Last Interglacial (dated as isotopic stage Se) are now at 6 m to 8 m in altitude along the coast. Former reefs constitute complexes presently situated 1 to 2 km inland, between 17 m and 42 m in altitude (tectonism effect); their advanced diagenesis makes their dating a problem.
Continental and marine Quaternary sediments were tectonically disturbed during several phases prior to the Last Interglacial. Since 120000 years, however tectonic deformation is minor.
Corrélations entre séries marines et données continentales plio-pléistocènes : le regard critique du paléontologue [Correlations between plio-pleistocene marine and continental data : critical eye of the paleontologist]
Authors: Bonifay Marie Françoise 
Published: May 2009

La biostratigraphie des grandes faunes européennes présente deux modes de succession très différents: un système d'oscillations, entre 2.4 et 1.0 Ma, dans lequel les espèces dominantes sont issues de l'ensemble des faunes villafranchiennes et un système d'alternances qui dure depuis 1.0 Ma et présente des différences beaucoup plus tranchées. On n'observe pas une semblable discordance dans les courbes isotopiques marines contemporaines.
Les données paléoclimatiques continentales sont complexes et les supports de nos études intégrent un grand nombre de variables climatiques principalement d'ordre local; au contraire, les données marines liées à l'importance planétaire des glaces permettent une interprétation globale. Pour paralléliser ces deux domaines, il est nécessaire de travailler sur des tranches de temps conséquentes afin d'établir des chronologies continentales valables.

L'abeille et le taureau (ou la vie et la mort dans la Crète minoéenne)
Authors: Somville Pierre 
Published: May 2009

La force emblématique de certains symboles s'impose dans l'histoire des croyances. Ambivalents comme le sacré, ils ont cependant des connotations propres : l'abeille (malgré les tombes à "tholos") s'inscrit du côté lumineux et le taureau (malgré sa force solaire) est nettement funèbre.
Le fameux plongeon crétois, à tort appelé « tauromachie », en est le plus bel exemple, car il ne signifie rien d'autre que la mort. Une série d'images parallèles, du saut de Sappho au « plongeur » de Paestum, nous en convainc. Enfin, les évocations d'un plongeon bouddhique et d'une anamnèse sub-aquatique chez le Guyanais W. Harris, entre autres, confirment la valeur anthropologique de ce thème.
« Démonisation du Cosmos » et dualisme gnostique
Authors: Culianu Ioan Petru 
Published: May 2009

Après avoir passé en revue la formation et le développement de l'idée grecque d'une eschatologie céleste, l'auteur s'arrête plus longuement sur la représentation de l'Enfer céleste, en critiquant l'opinion selon laquelle Héraclide du Pont serait l'auteur de cette doctrine. Le centre de son analyse concerne la formation d'un certain nombre de concepts, de théories et d'images qui convergent vers l'élaboration, à l'époque des Tannaïtes, d'un "prédualisme" juif qui, à ce titre, pourrait expliquer la « démonisation du cosmos » dans le climat religieux des premiers siècles après J.-C. et même les racines du dualisme gnostique. Dans tout cet ensemble de doctrines présentes dans le judaïsme tardif, celle des anges des peuples lui paraît fondamentale pour rendre compte de la genèse des « puissances hostiles » du monde céleste, qui, associées à d'autres entités maléfiques (Satan, etc.) ou terribles (l'ange de la mort), aboutissent à la formation des "archontes" gnostiques.
Loi islamique et haine impériale
Authors: Tortel Christiane 
Published: May 2009

Islamic law and Royal hatred.
Sarmad Shahîd Kâshânî, a sufî poet and martyr (d. 1659)

Sarmad Shahîd was a Jew of Iranian origin who converted to Islam. He migrated to India around 1632. He adopted the custom of Hindu ascetics, and walked naked. He was sentenced to death by the Moghul emperor Awrangzeb and beheaded in 1659. The grounds upon which the sentence was delivered are highly arguable. The hatred of the emperor for his brother, the crown prince Dârâ Shokûh, who had played a great part in the promotion of Hinduism as a rival religion to Islam, seems to have been the real cause of his execution. Sarmad's «passion » is, but to a lesser degree, a remake of Hallâj's, who was executed in 922 in Bagdad. The heroism shown by Sarmad in his last moments looks as a denunciation of Fundamentalism.
Evaluation of the Impact of a CPOE System on Nurse-physician Communication

Published: May 2009

Summary
Objectives: To assess the impact of a CPOE system on medication-related communication of nurses and physicians.
Methods: In six internal medicine wards of an academic medical center, two questionnaires were used to evaluate nurses’ attitudes toward the impact of a paper-based medication system and then a CPOE system on their communication in medication-related-activities (medication work). The questionnaires were analyzed using t-tests, followed by Bonferroni correction. Nine nurses and six physicians in the same wards were interviewed after the implementation to determine how their communication and their work have been impacted by the system.
Results: The total response rates were 54% and 52% for pre- and post-implementation questionnaires. It was shown that after im plementation, the legibility and completeness of prescriptions were significantly improved (P < .001) and the administration system had a more intelligible layout (P < .001), with a more reliable overview (P < .001). The analysis of the interviews supported and confirmed the findings of the surveys. Moreover, they showed communication problems that caused difficulties in integrating medication work of nurses into physicians’. To compensate for these, nurses and physicians devised informal interactions and practices (workarounds), which often represented risks for medication errors.
Conclusion: The introduction of CPOE system with paper-based medication administration system improved prescription legibility and completeness but introduced many workflow impediments and as a result error-inducing conditions. In order to prevent such an effect, CPOE systems have to support the level of communication which is necessary to integrate the work of nurses and physicians.
Assessing Applicability of Ontological Principles to Different Types of Biomedical Vocabularies
Authors: Linder R. , Ingenerf J. 
Published: May 2009

Summary
Objectives: Recently, ontological principles have been applied to numerous biomedical vocabularies, with the intention to identify mistakes and poor modeling decisions. No doubt, such applications are useful and necessary for terminological systems like SNOMED CT based on an axiomatic logical formalism.
Methods: In the following review, ontology is dealt with by focussing on particularly two aspects: the problem of ISA-overloading and the intrusion of epistemology-loaded terms in biomedical vocabularies. Both aspects are considered with respect to three types of biomedical vocabularies.
Results: Opposed to concept-oriented terminological systems, the purpose-specific organization of descriptors in thesauri and classes in statistical classifications on an extra aggregation level make it impossible to apply ontological principles. On the contrary, their intended purpose presupposes specific mechanisms that are in conflict with those principles.
Conclusions: Interestingly, for thesauri and classifications there are rather similar initiatives linking the extra level of descriptors and classes on the one hand and an intermediate concept level on the other hand. Such an approach proved beneficial for maintaining and translating thesauri and classifications.
Exploiting Thesauri Knowledge in Medical Guideline Formalization
Authors: Serban R. , ten Teije A. 
Published: May 2009

Summary
Objectives: As in software product lifecycle, the effort spent in maintaining medical knowl edge in guidelines can be reduced, if modularization, formalization and tracking of domain knowledge are employed across the guideline development phases.
Methods: We propose to exploit and combine knowledge templates with medical background knowledge from existing thesauri in order to produce reusable building blocks used in guideline development. These templates enable easier guideline formalization, by describing how chunks of medical knowledge can be combined into more complex ones and how they are linked to a textual representation.
Results: By linking our ontology used in guideline formalization with existing thesauri, we can use compilations of thesauri knowledge as building blocks for modeling and maintaining the content of a medical guideline.
Conclusions: Our paper investigates whether medical knowledge acquired from several medical thesauri can be molded on a guideline pattern, such that it supports building of executable models of guidelines.

Catalytic porous ceramic prepared in‐situ by sol‐gelation for butane‐to‐syngas processing in microreactors
Authors: Hotz Nico , Koc Nurten , Schwamb Timo , Schirmer Niklas C. , Poulikakos Dimos 
Published: May 2009

AbstractIn this study, a novel flow‐based method is presented to place catalytic nanoparticles into a reactor by sol‐gelation of a porous ceramic consisting of Rh/ceria/zirconia nanoparticles, silica sand, ceramic binder, and a gelation agent. This method allows for the placement of a liquid precursor containing the catalyst into the final reactor geometry without the need of impregnating or coating of a substrate with the catalytic material. The so generated foam‐like porous ceramic shows properties highly appropriate for use as catalytic reactor material, e.g., reasonable pressure drop due to its porosity, high thermal and catalytic stability, and excellent catalytic behavior. To investigate the catalytic activity, microreactors containing this foam‐like ceramic are employed for the production of hydrogen and carbon monoxide‐rich syngas from butane. The effect of operating parameters such as the inlet flow rate on the hydrocarbon processing is analyzed and the limitation of the reactor by diffusion mass transport is investigated. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009
Fine mapping and association studies in a candidate region for autism on chromosome 2q31–q32

AbstractAutism (OMIM %209850) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a strong genetic component. We previously reported a de novo rearrangement of chromosome 2q31 in a patient with autism [Gallagher et al. (2003); J Autism Dev Disord 33(1):105–108]. Further cytogenetic analysis revealed this to be a 46,XY, t(9;2)(q31.1;q32.2q31.3) translocation. Association mapping with microsatellite and SNP markers of this translocated region on 2q revealed association with markers in Integrin alpha‐4 (ITGA4; GeneID 3676). ITGA4 was tested for association in a sample of 179 trio‐based families. SNP markers in exons 16 and 17 showed evidence of association. Mutation screening revealed a G to A synonymous variation in the last nucleotide of exon 16 (rs12690517), significantly associated with autism in the Irish sample (OR = 1.6; P = 0.04). The location of this SNP at a putative splice donor site may affect the splicing of the ITGA4 protein. Haplotype analysis showed significant overtransmission of haplotypes surrounding this marker. These markers were investigated in two additional samples, 102 families from Vanderbilt University (VT) (n = 102), and AGRE (n = 267). A non‐significant trend towards overtransmission of the associated allele of rs12690517 in the Irish sample (OR = 1.2; P = 0.067) and haplotypes at the 3′ end of ITGA4 was observed in the AGRE sample. The VT sample showed association with markers and haplotypes across the gene, but no association with the rs12690517 marker or its surrounding haplotypes. The combined sample showed evidence of association with rs12690517 (OR = 1.3; P = 0.008) and surrounding haplotypes. The findings indicate some evidence for the role of ITGA4 as candidate gene for autism. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
