description: We report on a high angular resolution survey of circumstellar disks around 24 northern sky Be stars. The K-band continuum survey was made using the CHARA Array long baseline interferometer (baselines of 30 to 331 m). The interferometric visibilities were corrected for the flux contribution of stellar companions in those cases where the Be star is a member of a known binary or multiple system. For those targets with good uv coverage, we used a four parameter Gaussian elliptical disk model to fit the visibilities and to determine the axial ratio, position angle, K-band photospheric flux contribution, and angular diameter of the disk major axis. For the other targets with relatively limited uv coverage, we constrained the axial ratio, inclination angle, and or disk position angle where necessary in order to resolve the degeneracy between possible model solutions. We also made fits of the ultraviolet and infrared spectral energy distributions to estimate the stellar angular diameter and infrared flux excess of each target. The mean ratio of the disk diameter (measured in K-band emission) to stellar diameter (from SED modeling) is 4.4 among the 14 cases where we reliably resolved the disk emission, a value which is generally lower than the disk size ratio measured in the higher opacity Halpha emission line. We estimated the equatorial rotational velocity from the projected rotational velocity and disk inclination for 12 stars, and most of these stars rotate close to or at the critical rotational velocity.

description: In 1702, the second emperor of the Qing dynasty ordered construction of a new summer palace in Rehe (now Chengde, Hebei) to support his annual tours north among the court’s Inner Mongolian allies. The Mountain Estate to Escape the Heat (Bishu Shanzhuang) was strategically located at the node of mountain “veins” through which the Qing empire’s geomantic energy was said to flow. At this site, from late spring through early autumn, the Kangxi emperor presided over rituals of intimacy and exchange that celebrated his rule: garden tours, banquets, entertainments, and gift giving.
Stephen Whiteman draws on resources and methods from art and architectural history, garden and landscape history, early modern global history, and historical geography to reconstruct the Mountain Estate as it evolved under Kangxi, illustrating the importance of landscape as a medium for ideological expression during the early Qing and in the early modern world more broadly. Examination of paintings, prints, historical maps, newly created maps informed by GIS-based research, and personal accounts reveals the significance of geographic space and its representation in the negotiation of Qing imperial ideology. The first monograph in any language to focus solely on the art and architecture of the Kangxi court, Where Dragon Veins Meet illuminates the court’s production and deployment of landscape as a reflection of contemporary concerns and offers new insight into the sources and forms of Qing power through material expressions.

This supplement to the book includes maps and original Chinese texts.
Absence of the non-percolating phase for percolation on the non-planar Hanoi network

description: We investigate bond percolation on the non-planar Hanoi network (HN-NP), which was studied in [Boettcher et al. Phys. Rev. E 80 (2009) 041115]. We calculate the fractal exponent of a subgraph of the HN-NP, which gives a lower bound for the fractal exponent of the original graph. This lower bound leads to the conclusion that the original system does not have a non-percolating phase, where only finite size clusters exist, for p>0, or equivalently, that the system exhibits either the critical phase, where infinitely many infinite clusters exist, or the percolating phase, where a unique giant component exists. Monte Carlo simulations support our conjecture.

description: We present the results of N-body simulations in which we take the masses, positions and velocities of sink particles from five pairs of hydrodynamical simulations of star formation by Dale et al. (2012, 2013) and evolve them for a further 10Myr. We compare the dynamical evolution of star clusters that formed under the influence of mass-loss driven by photoionization feedback, to the evolution of clusters that formed without feedback. We remove any remaining gas and follow the evolution of structure in the clusters (measured by the Q-parameter), half-mass radius, central density, surface density and the fraction of bound stars. There is little discernible difference in the evolution of clusters that formed with feedback compared to those that formed without. The only clear trend is that all clusters which form without feedback in the hydrodynamical simulations lose any initial structure over 10Myr, whereas some of the clusters which form with feedback retain structure for the duration of the subsequent N-body simulation. This is due to lower initial densities (and hence longer relaxation times) in the clusters from Dale et al. (2012, 2013) which formed with feedback, which prevents dynamical mixing from erasing substructure. However, several other conditions (such as supervirial initial velocities) also preserve substructure, so at a given epoch one would require knowledge of the initial density and virial state of the cluster in order to determine whether star formation in a cluster has been strongly influenced by feedback.

description: We live in the era of producing big and diverse data, which has exceeded the capacity of conventional practices and databases. Thus, the challenge we face today is in figuring out the best way to process, standardize, and harmonize of the information - data gathered and as a last step to share this information with the community. When it comes to scientific data, there is only one safe way out to invest in FAIR Research Infrastructures, such as MedOBIS.

MedOBIS is the Mediterranean node of OBIS and it is hosted by the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture of HCMR in Crete (Greece). MedOBIS acts as a Research Repository for both historical and modern scientific datasets, on which the principles of FAIR and Open data are applied. All biogeographic data, and hopefully in the near future genetic data as well, can safely be findable, accessed, interoperable and re-usable through MedOBIS.

The need for trustworthy research repositories has become more and more evident, because every researcher, wants his work to live beyond individual research projects’ lifecycle. This is the case of the HORIZON-EIC project, entitled MAPWORMS. MAPWORMS is a challenging collaborative research project, which aims to propose robots that are inspired by simplified forms of marine Annelida, able to perform tasks in response to environmental stimuli.

In the MAPWORMS Data Management Plan was explicitly mentioned that (meta)data will be deposited in an online and open-access repository. In particular, for distributional/ georeferenced data, it is envisioned that a metadata template will be accompanied every sampling event, in order to collect as much information as possible. Regarding data, these will be sent to the MedOBIS to be standardised, quality controlled, and finally published, under CC-BY License. Additionally, published literature about annelids will be thoroughly examined in order to collect historical distributional data for annelid species and a list of proposed literature will be created.  The purpose of this list is to identify interesting and valuable historical datasets that could be digitised and published at a later stage.

title: Manager's Transactions: From Signal Effekt to Market Transparency
Creators: name: Hartlieb, Franz
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2019

description: As of 3 July 2016, the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) lays down a uniform, EUwide obligation for managers of listed issuers to disclose transactions conducted on their own account regarding financial instruments of said issuers. Compared to the previous legal regime, the regulatory approach relating to this reporting obligation has changed considerably: it no longer serves to provide investors with information from which they may potentially draw conclusions regarding the price performance of the financial instruments concerned. Rather, the purpose of disclosure is to create the highest possible market transparency. Despite this change, the currently sparse doctrine largely interprets Art 19 MAR in relation to the intended signal effect according to the previous legal regime. This article considers the new legal framework from the viewpoint of Austrian and German law,
and shows that in assessing the new rules, the change in objectives has to be taken into account.

Velocity renormalization of nodal quasiparticles in d-wave superconductors
Creators: name: Wang, Jing
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gapless nodal quasiparticles emerge at a low-energy regime of high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors due to the $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ gap symmetry. We study the unusual renormalizations of the Fermi velocity $v_F$ and gap velocity $v_Δ$ of these quasiparticles close to various quantum critical points in a superconducting dome. Special attention is paid to the behavior of the velocity ratio, $v_Δ/v_F$, since it determines a number of observable quantities. We perform a renormalization-group analysis and show that the velocity ratio may vanish, approach unity, or diverge at different quantum critical points. The corresponding superfluid densities and critical temperatures are suppressed, slightly increased, or significantly enhanced. The effects of three types of static disorders, namely, random mass, random gauge potential, and random chemical potential, on the stability of the system are also addressed. An analogous analysis reveals that both random mass and random gauge potential are irrelevant. This implies that these fixed points of the velocity ratio are stable, and hence observable effects ignited by them are unchanged. However, the random chemical potential is marginal. As a result, these fixed points are broken, and thus, the instabilities of quantum phase transitions are triggered.

description: The observation of stacks of distinct layers in a colloidal or liquid mixture in sedimentation-diffusion equilibrium is a striking consequence of bulk phase separation. Drawing quantitative conclusions about the phase diagram is, however, very delicate. Here we introduce the Legendre transform of the chemical potential representation of the bulk phase diagram to obtain a unique stacking diagram of all possible stacks under gravity. Simple bulk phase diagrams generically lead to complex stacking diagrams. We apply the theory to a binary hard core platelet mixture with only two-phase bulk coexistence, and find that the stacking diagram contains six types of stacks with up to four distinct layers. These results can be tested experimentally in colloidal platelet mixtures. In general, an extended Gibbs phase rule determines the maximum number of sedimented layers to be $3+2(n_b-1)+n_i$, where $n_b$ is the number of binodals and $n_i$ is the number of their inflection points.

description: A Schrödinger bridge is a stochastic process connecting two given probability distributions over time. It has been recently applied as an approach for generative data modelling. The computational training of such bridges requires the repeated estimation of the drift function for a time-reversed stochastic process using samples generated by the corresponding forward process. We introduce a modified score- function-based method for computing such reverse drifts, which can be efficiently implemented by a feed-forward neural network. We applied our approach to artificial datasets with increasing complexity. Finally, we evaluated its performance on genetic data, where Schrödinger bridges can be used to model the time evolution of single-cell RNA measurements.

description: We investigate systematically the effect of the nonlinear correction to the usual Maxwell electrodynamics on the holographic dual models in the backgrounds of AdS black hole and AdS soliton. Considering three types of typical nonlinear electrodynamics, we observe that in the black hole background the higher nonlinear electrodynamics correction makes the condensation harder to form and changes the expected relation in the gap frequency, which is similar to that caused by the curvature correction. However, in strong contrast to the influence of the curvature correction, we find that in the AdS soliton background the nonlinear electrodynamics correction will not affect the properties of the holographic superconductor and insulator phase transitions, which may be a quite general feature for the s-wave holographic superconductor/insulator system.

title: Flux dans le continuum Homme-Terre-Mer

Publisher: name: PIREN-Seine
Year: 2019

description: Le continuum Homme-Terre-Mer (HTM) se conçoit dans le maillage des territoires et leurs aménagements. Ils doivent être étudiés dans leurs interactions, d’amont en aval,des têtes de bassins aux zones côtières. Les bassins  versant  et  les  corridors  fluviaux ont toujours été, au cours de l’Histoire, investis par les sociétés humaines de  sorte  que  la  dimension anthropique  doit être  considérée tant des points  de  vues des pollutions engendrées  par  les  activités  humaines,  que  dans  la  perspective  du  changement  climatique.  L’étude  du continuum  HTM  s’appuie  sur  une  vision  intégrative,  interdisciplinaire  des  milieux,  des  processus,  des données, des modèles, des concepts. C’est dans cette intégration que ce volume HTM a été construit.

La  caractéristique  unique  du territoire du bassin de la Seine est d’être à la fois largement structuré par une agglomération urbaine, industrielle et portuaire (Axe Paris-Rouen-Le Havre) en pleine expansion, et d’être le siège  d’une  activité  agricole  parmi  les  plus  productives  et  exportatrices  du  monde.  Les  dynamiques  du système  urbain,  et  celles  du  système  agricole,  outre  qu’elles  interfèrent  les  unes  avec  les  autres  et conditionnent aussi largement la qualité de l’hydrosystème, sont de plus en plus soumises aux contraintes du changement climatique qui impose à la fois des mesures de remédiation et d’adaptation.

Dans le cadre de la phase VII du PIREN-Seine, un des axes a consisté à étudier l’ « Evolution des territoires du  bassin  de  la  Seine -dynamiques  coup lées  urbaines  et  agricoles,  et  adaptation»  et  à  développer  une approche prospective couplée des évolutions possibles du système urbain et du système agricole, et de leurs conséquences en matière de quantité et qualité de l’hydrosystème, sous contrainte de changement climatique, à travers deux grands types de démarches, étroitement coordonnées, synthétisée dans deux volumes :
- Identifier les dynamiques à l’œuvre, analyser les trajectoires passées, les signaux faibles, répertorier et  construire  des  scénarios  futurs  du  fonctionnementdu  territoire,  étudier  les  conditions  des transitions qu’ils impliquent (cf. Volume 1).
- Etudier, à l’échelle de territoires et du bassin de la Seine, les cascades de flux de matières/substances générées  par  les  fonctionnements  actuel  et  futur  de  ces  systèmes  urbains/ruraux  pour  évaluer  les conséquences  environnementales  des  différents  scénarios  envisagés  en  termes  de  qualité  des ressources et de durabilité des hydro-agro-socio-éco-systèmes.

Ce volume 2 synthétise l’ensemble des connaissances acquises au cours  de  la  phase  VII  du  PIREN-Seine pour quantifier et modéliser les flux dans le continuum HTM. Il se structure autour de trois grandes parties:
- Les micropolluants générés par les activités urbaines et leur dynamique à différentes échelles,
- Les émissions d’origine rurale et leur cumul aux pollutions urbaines,
- Des modèles pour explorer des scénarios

description: Background: There is a growing body of literature documenting negative mental health impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to identify risk and protective factors associated with mental health and well-being among pregnant and postpartum women during the pandemic. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, anonymous online survey study distributed to pregnant and postpartum (within 6 months) women identified through electronic health records from two large healthcare systems in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States. Survey questions explored perinatal and postpartum experiences related to the pandemic, including social support, coping, and health care needs and access. Latent class analysis was performed to identify classes among 13 distinct health, social, and behavioral variables. Outcomes of depression, anxiety, and stress were examined using propensity-weighted regression modeling. Results: Fit indices demonstrated a three-class solution as the best fitting model. Respondents (N = 616) from both regions comprised three classes, which significantly differed on sleep- and exercise-related health, social behaviors, and mental health: Higher Psychological Distress (31.8%), Moderate Psychological Distress (49.8%), and Lower Psychological Distress (18.4%). The largest discriminatory issue was support from one's social network. Significant differences in depression, anxiety, and stress severity scores were observed across these three classes. Reported need for mental health services was greater than reported access. Conclusions: Mental health outcomes were largely predicted by the lack or presence of social support, which can inform public health decisions and measures to buffer the psychological impact of ongoing waves of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnant and postpartum women. Targeted early intervention among those in higher distress categories may help improve maternal and child health.

description: We report on an analysis of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (E-CDFS) region using archival data from the Very Large Array, with the goal of studying radio variability and transients at the sub-mJy level. The 49 epochs of E-CDFS observations at 1.4 GHz sample timescales from one day to 3 months. We find that only a fraction (1%) of unresolved radio sources above 40 uJy are variable at the 4-sigma level. There is no evidence that the fractional variability changes along with the known transition of radio source populations below one milliJansky. Optical identifications of the sources show that the variable radio emission is associated with the central regions of an active galactic nucleus or a star-forming galaxy. After a detailed comparison of the efficacy of various source-finding algorithms, we use the best to carry out a transient search. No transients were found. This implies that the areal density of transients with peak flux density greater than 0.21 mJy is less than 0.37 deg^-2 (at a confidence level of 95%). This result is approximately an order of magnitude below the transient rate measured at 5 GHz by Bower et al. (2007) but it is consistent with more recent upper limits from Frail et al. (2012). Our findings suggest that the radio sky at 1.4 GHz is relatively quiet. For multi-wavelength transient searches, such as the electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves, this frequency may be optimal for reducing the high background of false positives.

[[worker]]. Longueur 4 à 5 mill. Mandibules longues; leur bord terminal beaucoup plus long que le bord interne, muni de quatre à cinq dents distinctes devant et de trois à quatre dents indistinctes derrière. Les mandibules sont lisses, luisantes, avec quelques petits points très épars, sans sillon lateral à leur base. Fossette antennaire très superficielle. Epistome sans carene, avec une impression longitudinale devant, au milieu; le milieu un peu avancé de son bord antérieur est rectiligne. Forme de la tête comme chez la [[queen]] qui a aussi tous les caractères précédents, sauf celui des fossettes antennaires. Yeux rudimentaires, composés de cinq à sept facette? mal développées et en partie disjointes.
Pronotum ni épaulé, ni subbordé. Sutures du thorax très distinctes, mais il y a à peine une apparence d'échancrure entre le mésonotum et le métanotum. Côtés du mésosternum bordés devant et derrière d'une arête; leur bord antérieur-supérieur a un avancement dentiforme. La face déclive du métanotum est de la même longueur que la face basale, subconcave, bordée sur les côtés, à peine élargie. Pédicule surmonté dune écaille nodiforme haute, très épaisse, presque aussi épaisse en haut qu à sa base, presque aussi épaisse qu'elle est large devant, tronquée devant et derrière, arrondie dessus (comme chez la Bothroponera tesserinoda). Une dent triangulaire à la base de sa face antérieure. Un appendice longitudinal sous le pédicule, conformé comme chez la [[queen]]. Abdomen comme chez la [[queen]], rétréci après son premier segment qui est plutôt plus large que le second.
Epistome luisant, presque sans ponctuation. La sculpture est du reste, de même que la pubescence et la pilosité, identique à celle de la [[queen]], mais un peu plus faible, surtout sur le thorax.
D'un brun rougeâtre ou d'un rouge brunâtre avec les mandibules, les antennes et les pattes roussâtres.

Je ne crois pas me tromper en rapportant ces [[worker]] à la [[queen]] recueillie par Hildebrandt et décrite plus haut, bien que la forme de l'écaillé et la couleur ne concordent pas entièrement. Cette espèce a l'écaillé d'une Bothroponera, mais tous les autres caractères d'une Ponera.

description: Цель – выявить закономерности течения инфекционного процесса у пациенток с послеродовым эндоме-
тритом и оценить патогенетическую значимость микробиоты в развитии системного воспалительного ответа.
Материал и методы. Обследовано 30 женщин с физиологическим течением пуэрперия (контрольная группа)
и 80 женщин с послеродовым эндометритом (основная группа). Определено содержание цитокинов в сыворот-
ке крови: интерлейкина 1-бета (IL-1β), фактора некроза опухоли альфа (TNFα), интерлейкина 10 (IL-10), белков
острой фазы на 1-е и 5-е сутки послеродового эндометрита. Исследована корреляция с результатами выявлен-
ной микробиоты полости матки при послеродовом эндометрите. Результаты. Выявлена прямая зависимость
между резистентностью микроорганизмов и уровнем α-1 глобулина и IL-1β в сыворотке крови на пятый день за-
болевания. Установлено, что наибольшую прогностическую ценность для определения тактики ведения пациен-
ток с послеродовым эндометритом имеет определение уровня IL-1β в крови к 5-м суткам от дебюта заболевания.
description: The aim of the study is to estimate the role of the pathogenic microbiota in the development of the systemic
inflammatory response. Material and methods. The study included 30 women with physiological puerperium
(control group) and 80 women with postpartum endometritis (main group). We determined the cytokines levels of
blood: interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin 10 (IL-10), acute phase proteins on
the 1st and 5th day of postpartum endometritis. The correlation with the results of detected microbiota of the uterus
with postpartum endometritis was studied. Results. A direct dependence was revealed between the microorganism
resistance and the α-1 globulin and IL-1β in the blood by the 5th day. It is proved that the determination of the
level of IL-1β in the blood by the 5th day from the onset of the disease has the most predictive value for determining
the further tactics of the treatment.

description: The aim of the study is to analyze postmortem cases of alcohol detection in children’s blood for the definition of
toxic effects of ethyl alcohol on a child’s body. Material and methods. The paper analyzes 34 cases of postmortem
detection of ethyl alcohol in children who underwent forensic investigations in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous
Okrug – Ugra over the past five years. The concentration of ethyl alcohol in a forensic study was determined in 4
age groups: in early childhood (1–3 years), in preschool age (4–6 years), in primary school age (7–10 years) and
middle school age (11–14 years). Results. Every single case of postmortem detection of alcohol in children under
the age of 14 corresponded to a mild degree of intoxication.
Assessment of long-range correlation in animal behaviour time series: the temporal pattern of locomotor activity of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix) and mosquito larva (Culex quinquefasciatus)

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a classical method of fractal analysis, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), in the analysis of the dynamics of animal behavior time series. In order to correctly use DFA to assess the presence of long-range correlation, previous authors using statistical model systems have stated that different aspects should be taken into account such as: 1) the establishment by hypothesis testing of the absence of short term correlation, 2) an accurate estimation of a straight line in the log-log plot of the fluctuation function, 3) the elimination of artificial crossovers in the fluctuation function, and 4) the length of the time series. Taking into consideration these factors, herein we evaluated the presence of long-range correlation in the temporal pattern of locomotor activity of Japanese quail ({\sl Coturnix coturnix}) and mosquito larva ({\sl Culex quinquefasciatus}). In our study, modeling the data with the general ARFIMA model, we rejected the hypothesis of short range correlations (d=0) in all cases. We also observed that DFA was able to distinguish between the artificial crossover observed in the temporal pattern of locomotion of Japanese quail, and the crossovers in the correlation behavior observed in mosquito larvae locomotion. Although the test duration can slightly influence the parameter estimation, no qualitative differences were observed between different test durations.
The mass of the Milky Way and M31 using the method of least action

description: We constrain the most likely range of masses for the Milky Way and M31 using an application of the Numerical Action Method (NAM) that optimizes the fit to observed parameters over a large ensemble of NAM-generated solutions. Our 95% confidence level mass ranges, 1.5-4.5 x 10^12 m_sun for MW and 1.5-5.5 x 10^12 m_sun for M31, are consistent with the upper range of estimates from other methods and suggests that a larger proportion of the total mass becomes detectable when the peculiar motions of many nearby satellites are taken into account in the dynamical analysis. We test the method against simulated Local Group catalogs extracted from the Millennium Run to confirm that mass predictions are consistent with actual galaxy halo masses.

Design And Testing Of A New Form Of Positive Displacement Hydraulic Drive To Give Optimum Full Speed Characteristics
Creators: name: Overington, John
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1980

description: Hydrostatic transmission is the only method of providing high output torque throughout an infinitely variable speed range with a constant input velocity. Most drives use separate pumps and motors but an integral pump/motor drive nit would enable many novel configurations to be used. Hydrostatic drives normally employ piston pumps and motors as they operate at higher oil pressures with greater efficiency. Vane pumps deliver a larger volume of oil for their size, so if the vane geometry were improved to contain higher pressures, then a vane pump/motor drive unit would be more competitive. For many applications a variable speed drive spends a greater proportion of running time at the velocity of A ton Unfortunately, the oil velocity, and the sliding velocity of the components, are maximum at this ratio. It is possible, however, using certain inversions to improve these conditions and this thesis follows the development of a new vane geometry and its adaptation into an inversion to form the basis of a variable speed hydrostatic drive. A test drive unit was designed to a given specification and manufactured to evaluate the potential of this novel variable speed drive. The work included investigation into, the port timing for the new vane geometry, the oil flow from the multi-chambered unit, and the development of a self-adjusting seal for the ports. The tests provided velocity ratios within 3% of the theoretical values but the unit only transmitted minimal power due to internal leakage. The faults were analysed and recommendations were made for certain modifications to rectify these shortcomings. Unfortunately, the modifications were too extensive to complete and retest within the time available.

description: Although anomalous episodical warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific, dubbed El Niño by Peruvian fishermen, has major (and occasionally devastating) impacts around the globe, robust forecasting is still limited to about six months ahead. A significant extension of the pre-warming time would be instrumental for avoiding some of the worst damages such as harvest failures in developing countries. Here we introduce a novel avenue towards El Niño-prediction based on network methods inspecting emerging teleconnections. Our approach starts from the evidence that a large-scale cooperative mode - linking the El Niño-basin (equatorial Pacific corridor) and the rest of the ocean - builds up in the calendar year before the warming event. On this basis, we can develop an efficient 12 months-forecasting scheme, i.e., achieve some doubling of the early-warning period. Our method is based on high-quality observational data as available since 1950 and yields hit rates above 0.5, while false-alarm rates are below 0.1.

Bistable generalised Langevin dynamics driven by correlated noise possessing a long jump distribution: barrier crossing and stochastic resonance
Creators: name: Srokowski, Tomasz
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The generalised Langevin equation with a retarded friction and a double-well potential is solved. The random force is modelled by a multiplicative noise with long jumps. Probability density distributions converge with time to a distribution similar to a Gaussian but tails have a power-law form. Dependence of the mean first passage time on model parameters is discussed. Properties of the stochastic resonance, emerging as a peak in the plot of the spectral amplification against the temperature, are discussed for various sets of the model parameters. The amplification rises with the memory and is largest for the cases corresponding to the large passage time.

description: Ce  chapitre  introductif  a  pour  objectif  de  présenter  les  travaux  des  chercheurs  du  PIREN-Seine durant la phase 7 du programme, et portant sur le devenir des contaminants dans le bassin versant de  la Seine. Devant la complexité d’un tel système, différentes stratégies ont été développées qui permettent  de  faire  un  diagnostic  de  la  présence  de   certains  polluants,  de  comprendre  les mécanismes  bio-physico-chimiques  contrôlant  le  transfert  de  ces  éléments,ou  de  développer  des approches permettant d’estimer leur impact sur les écosystèmes.

Points clefs  :

- Point clef 1 : Bilan de la présence de contaminants émergents dont les flux sont encore très mal connus.

- Point clef 2 : Mise au point de méthodes robustes pour estimer la qualité des milieux aquatiques à l’aide de biomarqueurs.

- Point  clef  3 : Compréhension  des  mécanismes  de  transfert  de  contaminants  dans  les  milieux naturels et les réseaux trophiques.
