Decontamination of arbitrary networks with multiple mobile agent home bases
Creators: name: Schulz, Arno
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: In this thesis we consider the problem of searching for an intruder in arbitrary networks. A team of mobile software agents is deployed to capture the intruder (i.e., a virus) and decontaminate the network. These agents follow a common protocol, derived from the Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm, that is independent of the intruders' speed or knowledge and is designed to prevent any further re-contamination. To measure the efficiency of our protocols and find the ones which give the best results, we conduct experiments on arbitrary synchronous and asynchronous networks. In each experiment, we study a different aspect of the impact multiple starting locations and different levels of visibility have on minimizing the number of mobile software agents required to decontaminate the network and the time used in the process.
Discursos de autoridad y formación de identidades en Pantaleón y las visitadoras de Mario Vargas Llosa.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Literature, Modern.

description: Cette these examine le roman Pantaleon y las visitadoras de l'ecrivain peruvien Mario Vargas Llosa a partir de deux perspectives complementaires: l'analyse de l'interdiscursivite et l'analyse des procedes d'attribution de l'idente. La premiere donne un apercu de l'univers romanesque en etudiant les materiaux discursifs qui le constituent et en examinant leur reutilisation parodique. De ces materiaux (sermons religieux, articles de journaux, etc.), une emphase plus particuliere a ete mise sur les transgressions des textes appartenants au monde militaire (rapports, etc.), espace principal du roman. La deuxieme partie expose le fonctionnement des procedes employes dans le roman pour reveler les mecanismes de pouvoir et de manipulation discursive. Notamment, a l'aide de la seconde approche, il s'agit de determiner la facon dont les discours autoritaires forment ou attribuent une identite aux personnages, et surtout au protagoniste, de facon a ce que ceux-ci entrent dans le moule du pouvoir.

À la recherche de la liberté perdue : fondation, révolution et modernité chez Hannah Arendt.
Creators: name: Breaugh, Martin.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: Le point de depart de cette these est la question de la nature du politique en tant qu'espace de domination ou espace de liberte. Il me semblait qu'un penseur politique contemporain analysait particulierement bien cette problematique: Hannah Arendt. Par le biais d'une etude des concepts de base qui structurent sa pensee, la nature du politique en tant qu'espace de liberte est devenue evidente (premiere section de la these). Le projet de fondation vise justement a etablir le politique comme espace public de liberte. Or, l'analyse de la question de la revolution en tant que reprise de la fondation revele un rapport d'opposition entre la revolution et la fondation (deuxieme section). Qui plus est, il semblerait que la nature meme de la modernite soit exclusive de la fondation et, par surcroi t, de la liberte (troisieme section). De cette maniere, l'oeuvre d'Arendt precise les conditions de possibilite d'un retour au politique en tant que lieu de creativite et donc de liberte humaine.

description: Based on data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, we report on the discovery of structures that we refer to as `tendrils' of galaxies: coherent, thin chains of galaxies that are rooted in filaments and terminate in neighbouring filaments or voids. On average, tendrils contain six galaxies and span 10 h-1 Mpc. We use the so-called line correlation function to prove that tendrils represent real structures rather than accidental alignments. We show that voids found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, 7th data release survey that overlap with GAMA regions contain a large number of galaxies, primarily belonging to tendrils. This implies that void sizes are strongly dependent on the number density and sensitivity limits of a survey. We caution that galaxies in low-density regions, which may be defined as `void galaxies,' will have local galaxy number densities that depend on such observational limits and are likely higher than those can be directly measured.

The role of police in enabling crime victims to access criminal injuries compensation: A survey of four police departments.
Creators: name: Foran, Tim.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Law.

description: This study examines the role that individual police officers play in making victims aware of criminal injuries compensation. Specifically, this study examines the behaviour, knowledge, and attitude of police officers in four police departments--two with a victim assistance unit and two without. The study found that officers from a department with a victim assistance unit did have a better knowledge of compensation eligibility requirements, including the necessity to suffer injury eligibility provision. Victim assistance unit officers were also found to have more positive attitudes towards compensation programs. They were more likely to be of the view that compensation programs assisted victims effectively and they were more likely to feel that the programs should be expanded to serve greater numbers of victims, including victims of break and enter. They were also more likely to indicate that they had made victims aware of compensation benefits. However, the presence of a victim assistance unit does not make the situation ideal. Many respondents from a force with a victim assistance unit indicated that they had never made a victim aware of compensation benefits. Of particular relevance is the fact that only sixteen per cent of victim assistance unit officers had ever provided a victim with a card or leaflet with information on criminal injuries compensation. The study concludes with a number of recommendations designed to improve the information crime victims receive with respect to criminal injuries compensation. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Spatial Isotropy Analysis of Generalised Rotation-Symmetric Gough-Stewart platforms
Creators: name: Ding, Xinbing
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: As the traditional Stewart platform can't achieve spatially isotropy, this thesis first derives several novel spatially isotropic variants with three horizontal links based on the traditional Stewart platform by analysing the Cartesian stiffness matrix. Due to the effective workspace of the Stewart platform is affected by several factors, this thesis proposes a methodology which can clearly demonstrate the constant-position and constant-orientation workspaces and determine combinations of the free parameters to achieve the largest collision-free and singularity-free workspace. Finally, in order to evaluate the deviation from spatial isotropy, three novel methods for evaluating the deviation from stiffness isotropy are proposed.

description:  

Data analysis in life sciences often suffers from reproducibility, standardization, and

accessibility issues due to the reliance on custom CLI scripts and the lack of easily

accessible compute resources. The Cloud-based Workflow Manager (CloWM)

addresses these challenges by providing a user-friendly platform for executing

complex data analysis workflows in a standardized and reproducible manner. The

system leverages cloud-based infrastructure to offer highly-scalable compute

resources and personalized data storage through sharable S3 buckets. By

encapsulating versioned Nextflow workflows as web services, developers can easily

share and execute their analysis pipelines. Moreover, to facilitate efficient data

management, workflow developers can upload and manage persistent and versioned

workflow resources - like large, static databases - in CloWM. These are then

accessible from within workflow executions, thus eliminating redundant data transfers

and reducing workflow execution time. A robust authentication and authorization

system, integrated with the LifeScience AAI SSO solution, ensures secure

personalized access and data protection. An intuitive web interface which supports

the automatic generation of workflow parameter interfaces, streamlines workflow

management and execution. In addition, a REST API secured by API tokens allows

programmatic interaction with the system, enhancing its flexibility and integration

capabilities. CloWM empowers researchers to focus on scientific insights by handling

and hiding the complexities of cloud-based infrastructure provisioning and distributed

data management while workflow developers benefit from a broader target audience

that can easily execute their workflows in a highly-scalable fashion. The CloWM

system is available under https://clowm.bi.denbi.de and the code can be found at

description: We present the first cell attachable and visible light crosslinkable hydrogels based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) with eosin Y (EY) photoinitiation for stereolithography 3D bioprinting. In order to develop visible a light crosslinkable hydrogel, we systematically studied five combinations of the GelMA and EY photoinitiator with various concentrations. Their mechanical properties, microstructures, and cell viability and confluency after encapsulation were investigated rigorously to elucidate the effects of the EY and GelMA macromer concentration on the characteristics of the hydrogel. Experimental results show that the compressive Young’s Modulus and pore size are positively affected by the concentration of EY, while the mass swelling ratio and cell viability are negatively affected. Increasing the concentration of GelMA helps to improve the compressive Young’s Modulus and cell attachment. We further employed the developed visible light-based stereolithography bioprinting system to print the patterned cell-laden hydrogels to demonstrate the bioprinting applications of the developed hydrogel. We observed good cell proliferation and the formation of a 3D cellular network inside the printed pattern at day 5, which proves the great feasibility of using EY-GelMA as the bioinks for biofabrication and tissue engineering.

description: Künstliche Süßstoffe werden als Zuckeraustauschstoffe in der Lebensmittelindustrie und Landwirtschaft verwendet. Es gibt keine abschließende Bewertung über das Vorkommen in und die Auswirkungen auf Gewässer. Für künstliche Süßstoffe liegen bisher keine Grenzwerte für aquatische Umweltmedien vor. Um das Vorkommen im Grundwasser in Deutschland zu analysieren, konnten im Rahmen dieser Studie Monitoringdaten aus sieben Bundesländern und insgesamt 3311 Messstellen ausgewertet werden. Am häufigsten wurde Acesulfam, gefolgt von Cyclamat, Sucralose und Saccharin bestimmt. Acesulfam wurde mit den höchsten Konzentrationen gemessen. Für die anderen drei Süßstoffe lagen die Maximalwerte deutlich unter den Werten für Acesulfam. Für Acesulfam konnte in den letzten Jahren ein Rückgang der Konzentrationen festgestellt werden. Dies lässt sich durch den vermehrten Abbau von Acesulfam in Kläranlagen erklären. Eine Zunahme an Messwerten über der Bestimmungsgrenze, und somit ein gegenteiliger Trend, zeigte sich für Sucralose. Insgesamt ist für Deutschland die Datenlage für eine flächendeckende Zustandsbeschreibung der Belastungssituation mit Süßstoffen noch nicht ausreichend. © Der/die Autor(en) 2021

description: This thesis investigated the extent to which slow-paced controlled breathing and heart rate variability are involved with interoceptive processes, emotional state, and emotional regulation. Documenting the underlying neurological and physiological mechanisms associated with controlled breathing was the underlying motivation for this thesis. While breath control practices have been used for millennia across various ancient spiritual traditions, this thesis builds upon the scientific evidence-base for breath practices. This is especially important for those that may benefit from slow-breathing techniques such as anxious individuals, as well as practitioners in the field who advocate for such techniques.

description: The digital transformation is one of the greatest challenges currently facing science, business and society. The lack of digitally qualified staff affects all Alliance organizations both acutely and equally. Rapid action is essential if this challenge is to be met. By pooling the strengths of the Alliance organizations it should be possible to find short or long-term solutions aimed at improving the situation for the whole academic system within a reasonable time-frame. Such cooperative solutions would impact the transition from school to university and beyond to include the time spent studying and acquiring qualifications, and continuing through to higher research training. The range of solutions could extend from the exchange of "good practice" examples through to the collective development of a range of offers, formats and strategies. There follows a description of the various challenges facing the academic system, together with details of the skills required to meet them, and the key features involved in the implementation process.

From Paper to Practice: The Potential of Haitian Women's Fiction as a Conscious Raising Developmental Resource
Creators: name: Sabit, Patmeena
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Geography.

description: Within this thesis I explore the idea of using feminist fiction to further women's empowerment in the context of a developing area. Taking the use of feminist fiction as a conscious raising resource during the second wave of feminism in Canada, the United States and England as a starting point, I look to the canon of feminist fiction of Haiti as an unmined resource that may be used for similar purposes. I argue that texts within this canon may be used in the same way if it can be shown that they deal with the evolution or manifestation of feminist (oppositional) consciousness through the narratives of female protagonists. As such, I undertake the qualitative content analysis of five texts from five Haitian female authors using, as a measuring gauge, the four elements of minimal oppositional consciousness as put forward and defined by Mansbridge (2001). As oppositional consciousness plays an important causal role in the motivation to work for or act as agents within liberation movements, the potential within these feminist texts to rouse or crystallize such a consciousness within Haitian women provides the link between feminist fiction and the ultimate empowerment of Haitian women.
Strongly Magnetized Sources: QED and X-ray Polarization

description: Radiative corrections of quantum electrodynamics cause a vacuum threaded by a magnetic field to be birefringent. This means that radiation of different polarizations travels at different speeds. Even in the strong magnetic fields of astrophysical sources, the difference in speed is small. However, it has profound consequences for the extent of polarization expected from strongly magnetized sources. We demonstrate how the birefringence arises from first principles, show how birefringence affects the polarization state of radiation and present recent calculations for the expected polarization from magnetars and X-ray pulsars.

description: Le desir de comprendre l'origine de la disparite des pratiques d'evaluation des apprentissages en salle de classe et des incoherences qui souvent les caracterisent est le point de depart de cette recherche. Force fut de constater que l'absence d'un modele de qualite des resultats d'evaluation coherent avec la nature et le contexte des apprentissages est en grande partie responsable du laxisme observe. Qu'ils tirent leur origine du paradigme traditionnel de la psychometrie ou de celui plus moderne de l'edumetrie, les elements concourant a des resultats justes ont ete regroupes en quatre composantes: la pertinence de la tache d'evaluation par rapport aux habiletes visees, sa coherence avec l'activite pedagogique, sa transparence a l'egard de l'eleve et l'absence de desavantage circonstanciel. Tous ces elements, retenus pour leur apport a l'obtention de resultats justes, c'est-a-dire pour situer correctement un eleve dans son developpement, forment le concept de justesse des resultats. Ce dernier a ete confronte a la realite de la salle de classe, en collaboration avec cinq enseignants d'ecoles elementaires de l'Ontario. De l'avis des participants, les quatre composantes du concept de justesse sont toutes pertinentes a l'obtention de resultats justes. Cependant, cette conception de l'evaluation fait ressortir comme etant problematiques certaines situations d'evaluation en salle de classe, comme l'evaluation de taches effectuees en equipe et celle d'habiletes multiples enseignees de maniere integree. La discussion tente d'etablir si ces faits sont dus au manque de realisme du concept de justesse ou s'ils font plutot ressortir des situations d'evaluation en salle de classe menant a des resultats d'evaluation de pietre qualite. L'experience menee ici ne suffit pas a etablir la viabilite du critere de justesse comme modele de qualite des resultats d'evaluation des apprentissages en salle de classe. Toutefois, cette experience suggere fortement que cette organisation simplifiee de la realite est compatible avec la nature contemporaine de l'apprentissage et rend bien compte de la complexite de son evaluation. De ce point de vue, elle s'avere superieure aux criteres de validite et de fidelite presentement utilises pour guider les enseignants dans leurs interventions d'evaluation en salle de classe.

description: We present [C II] and [O I] observations from Herschel and CO(1-0) maps from the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter Astronomy (CARMA) of the Hickson compact group HCG 57, focusing on the galaxies HCG 57a and HCG 57d. HCG 57a has been previously shown to contain enhanced quantities of warm molecular hydrogen consistent with shock or turbulent heating. Our observations show that HCG 57d has strong [C II] emission compared to L FIR and weak CO(1-0), while in HCG 57a, both the [C II] and CO(1-0) are strong. HCG 57a lies at the upper end of the normal distribution of the [C II]/CO and [C II]/FIR ratios, and its far-infrared (FIR) cooling supports a low-density, warm, diffuse gas that falls close to the boundary of acceptable models of a photon-dominated region. However, the power radiated in the [C II] and warm H2 emissions have similar magnitudes, as seen in other shock-dominated systems and predicted by recent models. We suggest that shock heating of the [C II] is a viable alternative to photoelectric heating in violently disturbed, diffuse gas. The existence of shocks is also consistent with the peculiar CO kinematics in the galaxy, indicating that highly noncircular motions are present. These kinematically disturbed CO regions also show evidence of suppressed star formation, falling a factor of 10-30 below normal galaxies on the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation. We suggest that the peculiar properties of both galaxies are consistent with a highly dissipative, off-center collisional encounter between HCG 57d and 57a, creating ring-like morphologies in both systems. Highly dissipative gas-on-gas collisions may be more common in dense groups because of the likelihood of repeated multiple encounters. The possibility of shock-induced star-formation suppression may explain why a subset of these HCG galaxies has been found previously to fall in the mid-infrared green valley.

description: Notre thèse de doctorat propose une étude systématique de la relation entre l'expérience esthétique et la visée éthique. Cette relation est celle de l'interaction, de la continuité et de la complémentarité entre ces dimensions de l'expérience humaine. Plus encore, notre enquête philosophique veut répondre à la question centrale: En quoi l'expérience esthétique est-elle une condition de possibilité de la visée éthique? Pour traiter cette problématique, nous avons cherché à rendre explicites les liens souterrains qui existent entre ces deux sphères d'activités humaines, ainsi qu'à dégager ses applications pour une conception du soi, chez trois philosophes importants, soit Paul Ricoeur, John Dewey et Ralph Waldo Emerson. Nous étudions, dans un premier temps, les notions de texte comme paradigme de l'action, d'identité narrative, de visée éthique et de raison (sagesse) pratique telles que décrites par Ricoeur. Dans un deuxième temps, nous comparons la pensée de Ricoeur avec les analyses de l'expérience esthétique et éthique développées par Dewey. C'est à partir de Ricoeur et de Dewey que nous exposons, dans un troisième temps, cette relation chez Emerson. Il ne s'agit aucunement de réduire la morale à l'art, ni de soumettre l'art à la morale, mais de montrer en quoi l'expérience esthétique, en ce qu'elle est l'expérience d'une certaine unité ou complétude---de même que l'art (e.g. la littérature), en ce qu'il nous permet d'explorer (sur le plan de l'imaginaire) des possibilités d'existence---, est une condition de l'éthique comprise comme la visée de la vie bonne. Aussi, nous croyons que notre investigation implique une conception de l'être humain en tant qu'être en relation, agissant, pensant. Nous maintenons que l'esthétique et l'éthique convergent également sur le plan d'une sagesse pratique et débouchent sur un ensemble de réflexions ontologiques et métaphysiques.

description: Background Elderly people are at increased risk for severe influenza illness and constitute therefore a major target-group for seasonal influenza vaccination in most industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to estimate influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) among individuals aged 60+ years over three seasons and to assess if the screening method is a suitable tool to monitor influenza VE in this particular target-group in Germany. Methods We identified laboratory-confirmed influenza cases aged 60+ years through the national communicable disease reporting system for seasons 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13. Vaccination coverage (VC) data were retrieved from a database of health insurance claims representing ~85% of the total German population. We applied the screening method to calculate influenza subtype-specific VE and compared our results with VE estimates from other observational studies in Europe. Results In total, 7,156 laboratory-confirmed influenza cases were included. VE against all influenza types ranged between 49% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 39–56) in 2011/12 and 80% (95% CI: 76-83%) in 2010/11. In 2010/11 subtype-specific VE against influenza A(H1N1)pdm and B was 76% and 84%, respectively. In the following seasons, VE against influenza A(H1N1)pdm, A(H3N2) and B was 87%, -9% , 74% (2011/12), and 74%, 39%, 73% (2012/13). VE was higher among hospitalized compared to non-hospitalized influenza A cases. Seventeen observational studies from Europe reporting subtype-specific VE among the elderly were identified for the respective seasons (all applying the test-negative design) and showed comparable subtype-specific VE estimates. Conclusions According to our study, influenza vaccination provided moderate protection against laboratory-confirmed influenza A(H1N1)pdm and B in individuals aged 60+ but no or only little protection against A(H3N2). Higher VE among hospitalized cases might indicate higher protection against severe influenza disease. Based on the available data, the screening method allowed us to assess subtype-specific VE in hospitalized and non-hospitalized elderly persons. Since controlling for several important confounders was not possible, the applied method only provided crude VE estimates. However, given the precise VC-data and the large number of cases, the screening method provided results being in line with VE estimates from other observational studies in Europe that applied a different study design.

description: In this study, the moisture content, calorific value, and particle size of recycled wood chips were measured. The wood chips were used to fuel an 8.5 MWth updraft gasifier to produce syngas for combustion in a steam-producing boiler. In-situ syngas composition and tar concentrations were measured and analyzed against biomass fuel properties. No efforts were made to adjust the properties of biomass or the routine operating conditions for the gasifier. A sampling device developed by CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (Ottawa, ON, Canada) was used to obtain syngas and tar samples. Wood chip samples fed to the gasifier were taken at the same time the gas was sampled. Results indicate that as the fuel moisture content increases from 20% to 35%, the production of CO drops along with a slight decrease in concentrations of H₂ and CH₄. Tar concentration increased slightly with increased moisture content and proportion of small fuel particles (3.15–6.3 mm). Based on the findings of this study, biomass fuel moisture content of 20% and particles larger than 6.3 mm (1/4″) are recommended for the industrial updraft gasifier in order to achieve a higher syngas quality and a lower tar concentration.

description: The main objectives of this study are to explore the possibility of simulating sand-steel interface behaviour using the Discrete Element Method, to investigate numerically the movements of particles in sand-steel interface tests, and to simulate experimentally the liquefaction phenomenon. In the first part, sand-steel interface tests were conducted using an automated 3-D apparatus C3DSSI (Cyclic 3-Dimensional Simple Shear Testing of Interfaces). A dense sand-rough steel plate interface test was carried out under constant normal stress conditions and the results were used in the discrete element simulations. The tests on the loose sand-smooth steel plate interface samples were carried out to investigate the effects of the initial state of the sample (i.e., relative density and normal stress) and the boundary conditions on the sand-steel interface behaviour. In the second part, an attempt was made to explore the advantages and limitations of using the discrete element method to simulate the behaviour of an interface between a granular soil and a steel plate. A two-dimensional discrete element program PFC$\rm\sp{2D}$ was used in the simulations. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: We measure the mass functions for generically red and blue galaxies, using a z < 0.12 sample of log M* > 8.7 field galaxies from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. Our motivation is that, as we show, the dominant uncertainty in existing measurements stems from how `red' and `blue' galaxies have been selected/defined. Accordingly, we model our data as two naturally overlapping populations, each with their own mass function and colour-mass relation, which enables us characterize the two populations without having to specify a priori which galaxies are `red' and `blue'. Our results then provide the means to derive objective operational definitions for the terms `red' and `blue', which are based on the phenomenology of the colour-mass diagrams. Informed by this descriptive modelling, we show that (1) after accounting for dust, the stellar colours of `blue' galaxies do not depend strongly on mass; (2) the tight, flat `dead sequence' does not extend much below log M* ˜ 10.5; instead, (3) the stellar colours of `red' galaxies vary rather strongly with mass, such that lower mass `red' galaxies have bluer stellar populations; (4) below log M* ˜ 9.3, the `red' population dissolves into obscurity, and it becomes problematic to talk about two distinct populations; as a consequence, (5) it is hard to meaningfully constrain the shape, including the existence of an upturn, of the `red' galaxy mass function below log M* ˜ 9.3. Points 1-4 provide meaningful targets for models of galaxy formation and evolution to aim for.

description: Background Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is an indolent B-cell non- Hodgkin lymphoma and represents the most common primary malignancy of the spleen. Its precise molecular pathogenesis is still unknown and specific molecular markers for diagnosis or possible targets for causal therapies are lacking. Methods We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and copy number analysis from laser-microdissected tumor cells of two primary SMZL discovery cases. Selected somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were analyzed using pyrosequencing and Sanger sequencing in an independent validation cohort. Results Overall, 25 nonsynonymous somatic SNVs were identified, including known mutations in the NOTCH2 and MYD88 genes. Twenty-three of the mutations have not been associated with SMZL before. Many of these seem to be subclonal. Screening of 24 additional SMZL for mutations at the same positions found mutated in the WES approach revealed no recurrence of mutations for ZNF608 and PDE10A, whereas the MYD88 L265P missense mutation was identified in 15 % of cases. An analysis of the NOTCH2 PEST domain and the whole coding region of the transcription factor SMYD1 in eight cases identified no additional case with a NOTCH2 mutation, but two additional cases with SMYD1 alterations. Conclusions In this first WES approach from microdissected SMZL tissue we confirmed known mutations and discovered new somatic variants. Recurrence of MYD88 mutations in SMZL was validated, but NOTCH2 PEST domain mutations were relatively rare (10 % of cases). Recurrent mutations in the transcription factor SMYD1 have not been described in SMZL before and warrant further investigation.

description: L'objet principal de cette thèse est d'entamer une analyse qui vise à mettre en exergue l'idée voulant que les transformations globales au niveau de l'économie mondiale mènent à la marginalisation des PED tout en les incitant vers des nouvelles politiques d'intégration régionale en vue d'une meilleure insertion au sein de cette économie. Lintégration régionale aujourd'hui a emprunté une "nouvelle direction", à savoir que ses caractéristiques dans les PED sont attribuables la peur de l'exclusion des grands marchés, en occurrence ceux de la triade. L'espoir pour eux étant de mettre en place une véritable libéralisation régionale. Les études disponibles tendent à établir un lien entre les changements au niveau global et la stratégie d'intégration au niveau régional. Suite à ce qui précède, l'hypothèse centrale de notre recherche est celle qui consiste à dire que le nouveau contexte international régi par la fin de la guerre froide, la dynamique de la mondialisation, le nouveau régionalisme et la marginalisation des PED incitent les pays d'Afrique centrale à adopter une nouvelle forme dintégration afin de faire face à ce défi.
