description: Connaître le lexique présent dans une oeuvre est essentiel pour la compréhension de celle-ci, en particulier quand il s’agit d’une lecture en L2. Les processus de compréhension générale d’un texte se font dans la mémoire de travail et sont composés de processus de bas niveau et de haut niveau. Alors que ces derniers assurent des processus de compréhension et de construction de sens, les processus de bas niveau comprennent les aspects formels et linguistiques. Ainsi, une lecture en L2 requiert des aptitudes cognitives que le lecteur doit employer simultanément. Il est cependant possible d’automatiser certaines aptitudes cognitives des processus de bas niveau, afin de permettre à la mémoire de travail de se focaliser sur des processus de haut niveau. Autrement dit, une décharge cognitive peut avoir lieu. Le décodage lexical est un processus de bas niveau et consiste en la capacité du lecteur de connaître et reconnaître le lexique présent dans un texte. Autrement dit, plus le lecteur connaît les mots dans un texte, plus la compréhension de celui-ci est facilitée. Ainsi, les rencontres fréquentes avec le lexique spécifique au texte favorisent l’automatisation du décodage lexical. Dans le cadre de ce travail, ces rencontres fréquentes ont lieu sous la forme d’activités thématiques propres à l’oeuvre que les élèves lisent en cours d’allemand. De cette manière, les élèves se familiarisent tant avec les thématiques qu’avec le lexique propres à celles-ci, facilitant en conséquence la lecture en L2. Cette affirmation a pu partiellement être confirmée grâce à l’analyse d’un questionnaire distribué aux élèves. Ils estiment que la familiarisation avec le lexique présent dans l’oeuvre à travers les activités thématiques leur a permis de mieux comprendre les enjeux de l’oeuvre ainsi que de développer certaines compétences langagières. Ainsi, ces activités de contextualisation peuvent être un précieux outil pour soutenir les lectures d’oeuvres complexes en L2.

description: Bypass or resection of the stomach and oesophagus, has long been recognised to result in profound changes in the handling of ingested nutrients. This results in significant morbidity after radical surgery for oesophago-gastric cancer, in particular post-prandial hypoglycaemia, altered appetite, early satiety and noxious post-prandial symptoms. By profiling and challenging the gut hormone axis in healthy volunteers and patients who had undergone total or subtotal gastrectomy, or oesophagectomy, this thesis explores the possible causative mechanisms for the challenges faced by this patient population. In the surgical groups, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) resulted in enhanced secretion of satiety and incretin gut hormones (GLP-1, GIP, PYY) and insulin, followed by hypoglycaemia in a cohort of patients. Continuous glucose monitoring of gastrectomy participants over two weeks of normal lifestyle identified an increased incidence of day and night time hypoglycaemia. RNAseq and mass spectrometry based peptidomics of human and murine enteroendocrine cells in the pre- and post-operative populations revealed no significant change in the underlying cellular pathways for nutrient sensing and gut hormone secretion, indicating that the altered hormone secretion is primarily driven by accelerated nutrient transit, rather than adaptive changes in the gut. Finally, specific blockade of the GLP-1 receptor in post-gastrectomy patients using Exendin 9-39 normalised insulin secretion and prevented reactive hypoglycaemia after an OGTT. In conclusion, profound changes in gut hormone secretion as a result of enhanced nutrient transit after foregut surgery likely underlie the early and late post-prandial symptoms seen in this group, and therapies specifically targeting the gut hormone axis, and GLP-1 in particular, could be the first targeted treatments for post-gastrectomy syndromes.

description: The present study contributes to our understanding of local level forest crimes and law enforcement in community forestry. A total of 211 individuals from 5 categories of stakeholders, that all are involved in community forestry in Nepal, responded to a structured questionnaire administered face to face. The questionnaire elicited respondents’ perceptions on the nature, frequency, motives and consequences of forest crimes. Findings show that illegal collection of firewood is perceived to be the most frequent crime, followed by illegal appropriation of timber, poles and thatch grasses. Stakeholders have clear ideas about the characteristics and motives of forest criminals and sanctions are perceived to be lenient.

description: Microplastics may affect soil ecosystem functioning in critical ways, with previously documented effects including changes in soil structure and water dynamics; this suggests that microbial populations and the processes they mediate could also be affected. Given the importance for global carbon and nitrogen cycle and greenhouse warming potential, we here experimentally examined potential effects of plastic microfiber additions on CO2 and N2O greenhouse gas fluxes. We carried out a fully factorial laboratory experiment with the factors presence of microplastic fibers (0.4% w/w) and addition of urea fertilizer (100 mg N kg− 1) using one target soil. The conditions in an intensively N-fertilized arable soil were simulated by adding biogas digestate at the beginning of the incubation to all samples. We continuously monitored CO2 and N2O emissions from soil before and after urea application using a custom-built flow-through steady-state system, and we assessed soil properties, including soil structure. Microplastics affected soil properties, notably increasing soil aggregate water-stability and pneumatic conductivity, and caused changes in the dynamics and overall level of emission of both gases, but in opposite directions: overall fluxes of CO2 were increased by microplastic presence, whereas N2O emission were decreased, a pattern that was intensified following urea addition. This divergent response is explained by effects of microplastic on soil structure, with the increased air permeability likely improving O2 supply: this will have stimulated CO2 production, since mineralization benefits from better aeration. Increased O2 would at the same time have inhibited denitrification, a process contributing to N2O emissions, thus likely explaining the decrease in the latter. Our results clearly suggest that microplastic consequences for greenhouse gas emissions should become an integral part of future impact assessments, and that to understand such responses, soil structure should be assessed.
Minkowski solution of Dyson-Schwinger equations in momentum subtraction scheme

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Using the Green function integral representation the Dyson-Schwinger equations are solved directly in Minkowski space. Essential ideas of the spectral techniques are discussed and applied on two renormalizable models: the Yukawa theory with massive pseudoscalar meson and conventional spinor QED. Within the momentum subtraction procedure, the appropriate renormalization is performed analytically which leads to the usual dispersion formulation. The electron propagator obtained in this frame is compared with the solution of Euclidean Dyson-Schwinger equation and with the perturbation theory results as well. The proposed method has the advantage of obtaining solutions in both the space- and {\bf{time}}-like regimes of momenta. In addition,when the coupling constant increases we find some un-expected discrepancy between the Euclidean and integral representation solutions. Especially, when the solutions of the original momentum DSE's exhibit the signal for confinement then the spectral approach gives no solution for Lehmann function of confined particle.

description: Microplastics are a diverse and ubiquitous contaminant, a global change driver with potential to alter ecosystem properties and processes. Microplastic-induced effects in soils are manifold as microplastics differ in a variety of properties among which the shape is of special interest. Our knowledge is limited regarding the impact of various microplastic shapes on soil processes. Therefore, we conducted this two-part research comprising a meta-analysis on published literature and a lab experiment focusing on microplastic shapes- and polymer-induced effects on soil aggregation and organic matter decomposition. We here focus on fibers, films, foams and particles as microplastic shapes. In the meta-analysis, we found a strong research focus on fibrous and particulate microplastic materials, with films and foams neglected. Our experiment showed that microplastic shapes are important modulators of responses in soil aggregation and organic matter decomposition. Fibers, irrespective of their chemistry, negatively affected the formation of aggregates. However, for other shapes like foams and particles, the polymer identity is an important factor co-modulating the soil responses. Further research is needed to generate a data-driven foundation to permit a better mechanistic understanding of the importance and consequences of microplastics added to soils.
Collective processes in relativistic plasma and their implications for gamma-ray burst afterglows

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the effects of collective plasma processes on synchrotron emission from highly relativistic electrons. We find, in agreement with Sazonov (1970), that strong effects are possible also in the absence of a non-relativistic plasma component, due to the relativistic electrons (and protons) themselves. In contrast with Sazonov, who infers strong effects only in cases where the ratio of plasma frequency to cyclotron frequency is much larger than the square of the characteristic electron Lorentz factor, nu_p/nu_B >> gamma^2, we find strong effects also for 1 << nu_p/nu_B << gamma^2. The modification of the spectrum is prominent at frequencies nu < nu_{R*} = nu_p min[gamma, (nu_p/nu_B)^(1/2)], where nu_{R*} generalizes the Razin-Tsytovich frequency, nu_R = gamma nu_p, to the regime nu_p/nu_B << gamma^2. Applying our results to gamma-ray burst (GRB) plasmas, we predict a strong modification of the radio spectrum on minute time scale following the GRB, at the onset of fireball interaction with its surrounding medium, in cases where the ratio of the energy carried by the relativistic electrons to the energy carried by the magnetic field exceeds ~ 10^5. Plausible electron distribution functions may lead to negative synchrotron reabsorption, i.e to coherent radio emission, which is characterized by a low degree of circular polarization. Detection of these effects would constrain the fraction of energy in the magnetic field, which is currently poorly determined by observations, and, moreover, would provide a novel handle on the properties of the environment into which the fireball expands.

description: This study examines the conditional effects of remittances on economic growth in the Maghreb countries, namely, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria from 2000 to 2022. Using the system generalized method of moments (GMM) in a panel data analysis, we found strong evidence of a positive relationship between remittances and economic growth. We also found that financial development acted as a complement in the remittances-growth relationship. A clearer understanding of the channels through which remittance flows will enhance economic growth in the Maghreb countries may assist policymakers to formulate appropriate policies. In particular, a policy environment that promotes financial system development would serve to attract more remittances.

description: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become standard practice in patients with high-risk early breast cancer as it improves rates of breast conservation surgery and enables prediction of recurrence and survival by using response to treatment as a surrogate. Previous studies have focused on generating molecular datasets to develop prediction models of response, though little is known on how tumours and their microenvironments are modulated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The thesis aims at molecularly characterising tumour changes during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a cohort of 168 patients. Serial tumour samples at diagnosis, and, when available, midway through chemotherapy and on completion of treatment were profiled by shallow whole genome sequencing, deep exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing, resulting in the generation of an unprecedented genomics dataset with tumours in situ while patients received chemotherapy. Molecular predictors of response to chemotherapy were inferred from the diagnostic biopsy. Several novel observations were made, including previously undescribed associations between copy number alterations, mutational genotypes, neoantigen load, HLA genotypes and intra-tumoural heterogeneity with chemosensitivity. Possible mechanisms of chemoresistance included LOH at the MHC Class I locus, decreased expression of MHC Class I and II genes and drug influx molecules, as well as increased expression of drug efflux pumps. A complex relationship between proliferation, tumour microenvironment composition (TME) and response to treatment was explored by deconvoluting bulk RNAseq data and performing digital pathology orthogonal validation. Clonal and microenvironment dynamic changes induced by/associated with chemotherapy were then modelled. Two types of genomic responses were identified, one in which the clonal composition was stable throughout treatment and another where clonal emergence and/or extinction was evident. Validation by multi-region deep sequencing confirmed the dynamics of the clonal landscape. Clonal emergence was shown to be associated with higher proliferation and decreased immune infiltrate, with an increase in genomic instability and homologous recombination deficiency during treatment. The immune TME composition and activity mirrored response to treatment, with cytolytic activity and innate and adaptive immune infiltrates linearly correlating with the degree of residual disease remaining after chemotherapy. Finally, the circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) genomic landscape was explored by using shallow whole genome sequencing and targeted sequencing of plasma DNA. Tumour mutations detected on exome sequencing were also detected in ctDNA in plasma, supporting the use of liquid biopsies as a biomarker for monitoring response to therapy and detection of minimal residual disease.

description: As a canary in a coalmine warns of dwindling breathable air, the honeybee can indicate the health of an ecosystem. Honeybees are the most important pollinators of fruit-bearing flowers, and share similar ecological niches with many other pollinators; therefore, the health of a honeybee colony can reflect the conditions of a whole ecosystem. The health of a colony may be mirrored in social signals that bees exchange during their sophisticated body movements such as the waggle dance. To observe these changes, we developed an automatic system that records and quantifies social signals under normal beekeeping conditions. Here, we describe the system and report representative cases of normal social behavior in honeybees. Our approach utilizes the fact that honeybee bodies are electrically charged by friction during flight and inside the colony, and thus they emanate characteristic electrostatic fields when they move their bodies. These signals, together with physical measurements inside and outside the colony (temperature, humidity, weight of the hive, and activity at the hive entrance) will allow quantification of normal and detrimental conditions of the whole colony. The information provided instructs how to setup the recording device, how to install it in a normal bee colony, and how to interpret its data.

description: Avoided deforestation may be financed through a multilateral fund for climate change in the future. There is a concern that payments for REDD should benefit the poor, and that it is necessary to design incentives that make sustainable forestry more profitable than deforestation or degradation. By applying a dynamic and non-linear programming model we tested a number of interventions and development trends to see how they affected deforestation and forest degradation in villages in Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda over the next 20 years. Cultivable land has already been cleared in most of the investigated villages. Thus deforestation is likely to occur only in villages with a substantial remaining woodland area. In villages with little remaining woodland harvesting of wood-fuel leads to serious degradation in a few years. Reduced growth of population is likely to reduce deforestation in most cases. Higher producer price of charcoal leads to less deforestation and more degradation. Policies that make crop production relatively more profitable normally lead to more deforestation and less forest degradation. Production quotas may be an effective measure to reduce forest degradation, but when charcoaling gets less profitable villagers will allocate more labour to land clearing and crop production, thus increasing deforestation. These results may be useful both in setting the REDD baseline, and in the design of measures to achieve REDD effectively.
Hyperbolic scaling limit of non-equilibrium fluctuations for a weakly anharmonic chain

description: We consider a chain of $n$ coupled oscillators placed on a one-dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions. The interaction between particles is determined by a weakly anharmonic potential $V_n = r^2/2 + σ_nU(r)$, where $U$ has bounded second derivative and $σ_n$ vanishes as $n \to \infty$. The dynamics is perturbed by noises acting only on the positions, such that the total momentum and length are the only conserved quantities. With relative entropy technique, we prove for dynamics out of equilibrium that, if $σ_n$ decays sufficiently fast, the fluctuation field of the conserved quantities converges in law to a linear $p$-system in the hyperbolic space-time scaling limit. The transition speed is spatially homogeneous due to the vanishing anharmonicity. We also present a quantitative bound for the speed of convergence to the corresponding hydrodynamic limit.

description: This paper aims at quantifying household-level use of medicinal plants and to investigate the determinants associated with the choice of traditional treatment in the central plateau of Burkina Faso. Comprehensive analysis of treatment choice was done through a bivariate analysis aiming at characterising users of medicinal plants. Preliminary results indicate that the use of medicinal plants depends on the nature of the encountered illness rather than on the economic disposition of households. Education and age also plays a significant role in the treatment seeking behaviour. Moreover, medicinal plants are more relied upon in the absence of modern health facilities.

description: Quasar-driven winds are currently the best candidates for accounting for the pre-heating of the intergalactic medium in clusters. Such winds, occurring during early phases of the evolution of spheroidal galaxies, shock-heat the interstellar gas, thus inducing a detectable Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. We estimate the amplitude and the angular scale of such effect as well as its counts as a function of the comptonization parameter $y$. The contamination due to radio emission by the quasar itself is also discussed. The corresponding mean Compton distortion of the cosmic microwave background spectrum is found to be well below the COBE/FIRAS upper limit.

description: The low pressure (LP) exhaust system presents a promising avenue for improving the performance of large steam turbines. For this reason, LP exhaust systems have attracted the attention of the research community for decades. Nevertheless, we still lack understanding of the flow physics and loss mechanisms in the exhaust system, especially at part-load conditions. It is also unclear how the exhaust system should be designed when its required operating range widens. This thesis provides solutions to these aerodynamic issues through experimental and numerical investigations, and provides tools that could contribute to better designs of LP exhaust systems. Firstly, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver ANSYS CFX was validated against experiments performed on a scaled test rig under representative part-load flow conditions. This validation exposed the weakness of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) CFD when there is a highly swirling flow and large separation regions in the exhaust diffuser. To facilitate the numerical studies, a series of tools were also developed. A design suite, ExhaustGen, was used to automate the pre- and post-processing of CFD calculations. The exhaust diffuser was parametrised using "Minimum Energy Curves", which reduce the dimension of parameter space. Further, a suitable stage-hood interface treatment (Multiple Mixing Planes) was chosen to predict the circumferentially non-uniform flow in the exhaust hood at low computational cost. Numerical investigation of the baseline geometry provided insights into the key flow features and loss mechanisms in the exhaust system, over a wide range of operating conditions. In particular, the bearing cone separation was identified as a key source of loss at part-load conditions. The effect of stage-hood interaction on the performance and design of the exhaust system was studied by varying the rotor blade design, which can positively influence system performance. Finally, a global sensitivity study was performed to identify the most influential design parameters of the exhaust hood. These findings allow, for the first time, LP exhaust hood performance maps to be constructed, so that the benefits of choosing a suitable hood geometry and blade design can be revealed. The thesis also offers contribution towards formulating LP exhaust system design guidance for a wide operating range.

description: Expanding markets of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and increasing interest in traditional medicines and health foods have resulted in a growing trade of these NTFPs at local, national and international levels. The trade provides income-generating opportunities for rural people in developing countries but may also jeopardize sustainable harvest levels. The objective of this study was to investigate the trade chains and contribution to rural households of two commercially important NTFPs in Bhutan; the insectpathogenic fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis and the mycorrhizal mushroom Tricholoma matsutake. Access mapping and commodity chain analysis was used as analytical framework. Information on household incomes, quantities, time spent, prices, and expenses were obtained through semi-structured interviews with collectors, middlemen and traders including exporters. Net income was calculated for all actors. Distribution of incomes between actors was calculated. Collectors of O. sinensis obtained a higher net income per kg than middlemen and traders while the opposite was the case for T. matsutake. Collectors of O. sinensis earned an average of 70% of the household’s cash income from collection and sale of the product while T. matsutake on average constituted 9% of collectors’ household income. Based on the study, opportunities for increasing NTFP collectors’ net income are discussed. Overexploitation and habitat destruction was a common concern among collectors of O. sinensis and T. matsutake. Further research on the biology of the species, the resource base and the impact of increasing collection and trade is needed to ensure sustainable harvest levels.

description: To directly simulate rare events using atomistic molecular dynamics is a significant challenge in computational biophysics. Well-established enhanced-sampling techniques do exist to obtain the thermodynamic functions for such systems. But developing methods for obtaining the kinetics of long timescale processes from simulation at atomic detail is comparatively less developed an area. Milestoning and the weighted ensemble (WE) method are two different stratification strategies; both have shown promise for computing long timescales of complex biomolecular processes. Nevertheless, both require a significant investment of computational resources. We have combined WE and milestoning to calculate observables in orders of magnitude less CPU and wall-clock time. Our weighted ensemble milestoning method (WEM) uses WE simulation to converge the transition probability and first passage times between milestones, followed by the utilization of the theoretical framework of milestoning to extract thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the entire process. We tested our method for a simple one-dimensional double well potential, an eleven-dimensional potential energy surface with energy barrier, and on the biomolecular model system alanine dipeptide. We were able to recover the free energy profiles, time correlation functions, and mean first passage times for barrier crossing events at a significantly small computational cost. WEM promises to extend the applicability of molecular dynamics simulation to slow dynamics of large systems which are well beyond the scope of present day brute-force computations.

I demonstrate how data about the meaning of Septuagint vocabulary has been insufficiently or in appropriately derived, expressed, and/or documented. I also highlight debates over the nature of post-classical Greek and the language of the Septuagint, which has predisposed scholars against viewing the Septuagint corpus as part of post-classical Greek in general. By pointing out methodological flaws that have plagued Septuagint lexicography—as well as theoretical problems in a Hebrew-priority view of the language—I argue for a Greek-priority view that evaluates Septuagint vocabulary in light of contemporary sources and emphasizes the importance of documentary evidence. The following chapters provide case studies from Greek Judges that demonstrate the benefits of a Greek-priority view. Many cases of consistent vocabulary disagreement in the textual history of the book cannot be explained on the basis of the Hebrew text nor given the data available in current lexicons. Examination of post-classical Greek evidence demonstrates that the motivation for the language change is multifaceted, but clearly includes matters of style and semantics in Greek independent from the source text. Chapter three focuses on παρατάσσω and παράταξις; chapter four on παιδάριον, παιδίον, νεανίας, and νεάνισκος; and chapter five on ἀπάντησις and συνάντησις. Each chapter concludes by discussing the relevance of the evidence for Septuagint lexicography, the motivation underlying the revision of Greek Judges, and the potential of Septuagint vocabulary to inform Greek lexicography in general. Chapter six summarizes my lexical analysis and discusses the benefits of a Greek-priority approach and its value for Septuagint lexicography. I posit a time-frame for the translation and revision of Greek Judges based on linguistic evidence. I conclude by emphasizing the need for renewed efforts in Septuagint lexicography to incorporate literary and nonliterary post-classical Greek sources. To address this need, I provide several sample lexicon entries for words discussed in the preceding study.

description: Within recent years, the demand for organic produce has greatly increased due to many factors, including increasing knowledge about such things as dietary fiber and balanced gastrointestinal bacterial ecosystems. This increase in demand, coupled with the financial penalties for sending invasive species and pests across borders, presents a need for a scalable and accurate system to non-destructively detect infestation. The proposed work addresses this problem by testing the performance of a non-destructive vibro-acoustic method for detecting lava activity in apples. This involved 3 steps; design a mechanical data collection prototype for testing apples, a evaluate a set of features, and test the detection performance using machine learning algorithms. The mechanical data collection prototype aims to solve some of the issues that arose when collecting repeatable vibro-acoustic data from apples. The second piece aims to show the feasibility of a scalable model which takes vibro-acoustic data, performs multi-domain feature extraction, and then utilizes a SVM/ANN backend to detect codling moth infestation in apples. The final piece describes a procedure in which a novel CNN architecture pair is created to assess the quality of results with and without an acoustic reference channel. The data collection prototype produced higher quality data than previous setups. The feature extraction and SVM/ANN showed the ability to characterize patterns and detect infestation. The best of these was an SVM which had 87.34% accuracy on classifying 5 second segments from apples not in the training set, which was run on one iteration of a randomized dataset split. The CNN architectures showed potential for further development, with the noise-inclusive model performing over 8% better. However, both models show limited potential for generalizing to new apples with accuracies of (35.15% without noise, 43.92% with noise). The lower detection rates were limited by the intermittent larval activity rates, since the low accuracy rates were driven primarily by missed detections in the 5 second windows on apples labeled as infested. If the percentage of activity in any five second window is too low, then the “infested” sample will get classified as healthy due to that window having no larval sounds. The other notable issue regarding generalization potential was the sample size: the number of distinct apples used was too small, especially for deep learning applications. A much larger number of apples will be needed for future work.

description: Un objectif de tout enseignant est de parvenir à impliquer sa classe dans l’activité qu’il a planifiée. Ce mémoire professionnel s’intéresse aux différents types de constitutions d’équipes et à l’influence que ceux-ci peuvent avoir sur l’engagement des élèves. La problématique est la suivante : Est-ce que le tirage des équipes réalisé par le professeur d’EPS peut modifier la motivation extrinsèque de l’élève ? Afin d’y répondre, trois hypothèses ont été formulées : ● H1 : Un tirage socialement favorable augmente la motivation extrinsèque de l’élève lors d’une activité peu appréciée de la part de ce dernier. ● H2 : La motivation extrinsèque de l’élève varie en fonction des différents types de tirage. ● H3 : Les élèves faisant partie des derniers choisis lors d’un tirage d’équipes seront moins motivés à s’engager dans l’activité. Il s’agit d’une étude quantitative qui a été menée sur un échantillon final de 111 élèves. Les réponses ont été récoltées à travers un questionnaire en ligne. Les données récoltées montrent que c’est le facteur social qui a le plus d’influence sur la motivation des élèves. En effet, se retrouver avec ses amis dans une équipe est un élément clé qui augmente la motivation des sujets interrogés, peu importe si l’activité est appréciée ou non, ce qui valide notre première hypothèse. Au sujet des différentes constitutions d’équipes (élèves, enseignant, hasard), les résultats principaux ont montré que le type de tirage d’équipes appliqué n’a pour la majorité des élèves que peu ou pas d’impact sur la motivation des sujets. L’hypothèse deux n’est pas validée. Cependant, il a été démontré que suivant la forme de création d’équipes choisie en tant qu’enseignant d’éducation physique, des sentiments de crainte et d’appréhension peuvent survenir du côté des élèves. En effet, la majorité des élèves préfèrent que la création d’équipes soit réalisée par l’enseignant ou effectuée de manière aléatoire, en comparaison au tirage d’équipes fait par deux camarades. Quant à l’hypothèse 3, les résultats exposés montrent que le fait d’être choisi en dernier lors d’un tirage d’équipes n’a pas d’influence sur la motivation des participants.

description: According to the adiabatic approximation atoms moving in a magnetic trap keep their magnetic states. We investigate the validity of this approximation for quantum condensates, where a change of field's direction generates effective interactions between hyperfine angular momentum states. Condensates in general traps are found to be stable because they are confined in the vicinity of the trap center. A decay of a condensate is observable in a trap with extremely large field gradient.

description: I review the interpretation of solar and atmospheric neutrino data in terms neutrino oscillations and describe some ways to account for the required neutrino masses and mixing angles from first principles, both within top-down and bottom-up approaches. I also discuss non-oscillation phenomena such as nu-less double beta which may probe the absolute scale of neutrino mass, and also reveal its Majorana nature. I note that leptonic CP violation induced by ``Majorana'' phases drop from oscillations but play a role in the leptogenesis scenario for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Direct tests of leptonic CP violation in oscillation experiments, such as neutrino factories, will be a tough challenge, due to the hierarchical neutrino mass splittings and the smallness of theta13 indicated by reactors. The large solar mixing angle theta12 offers a way to probe otherwise inaccessible features of supernova physics. Finally, I note that in low-scale models of neutrino mass, one may probe all mixing angles, including the atmospheric theta23, at high energy accelerator experiments such as the LHC or NLC. A neat example is supersymmetry with bilinear breaking of R parity, where the LSP decay branching ratios are directly correlated to the neutrino mixing angles. I also discuss non-oscillation solutions to the solar neutrino problem in terms of spin-flavor precession and non-standard neutrino interactions, which will be crucially tested at KamLAND.
