description: Recently, a surge of interest in visual transformers is to reduce the computational cost by limiting the calculation of self-attention to a local window. Most current work uses a fixed single-scale window for modeling by default, ignoring the impact of window size on model performance. However, this may limit the modeling potential of these window-based models for multi-scale information. In this paper, we propose a novel method, named Dynamic Window Vision Transformer (DW-ViT). The dynamic window strategy proposed by DW-ViT goes beyond the model that employs a fixed single window setting. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to use dynamic multi-scale windows to explore the upper limit of the effect of window settings on model performance. In DW-ViT, multi-scale information is obtained by assigning windows of different sizes to different head groups of window multi-head self-attention. Then, the information is dynamically fused by assigning different weights to the multi-scale window branches. We conducted a detailed performance evaluation on three datasets, ImageNet-1K, ADE20K, and COCO. Compared with related state-of-the-art (SoTA) methods, DW-ViT obtains the best performance. Specifically, compared with the current SoTA Swin Transformers \cite{liu2021swin}, DW-ViT has achieved consistent and substantial improvements on all three datasets with similar parameters and computational costs. In addition, DW-ViT exhibits good scalability and can be easily inserted into any window-based visual transformers.

description: Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) are emerging lightweight Deep Learning models for Time Series analysis. We introduce an automated exploration approach and a library of optimized kernels to map TCNs on Parallel Ultra-Low Power (PULP) microcontrollers. Our approach minimizes latency and energy by exploiting a layer tiling optimizer to jointly find the tiling dimensions and select among alternative implementations of the causal and dilated 1D-convolution operations at the core of TCNs. We benchmark our approach on a commercial PULP device, achieving up to 103X lower latency and 20.3X lower energy than the Cube-AI toolkit executed on the STM32L4 and from 2.9X to 26.6X lower energy compared to commercial closed-source and academic open-source approaches on the same hardware target.
The French orchestral trumpet tradition in nineteenth-century Paris: competing claims of François Auguste Dauverné and Jean-Baptiste Arban, 1820–1880

description: François Georges Auguste Dauverné and Jean-Baptiste Laurent Arban represent two competing claims in the French trumpet tradition that militated against the adoption of the valve trumpet in the elite orchestras of Paris. These claims were manifest in their respective biography and pedagogy. Dauverné personifies the dominant conservatism that resisted valve technology in favour of the natural trumpet of the ancien régime. As the instrument was falling into disuse, Dauverné’s Méthode pour la trompette (1857) was a defence of the natural trumpet premised on its natural timbral purity, historical continuity, and elite status. It was also a lament shaped by Dauverné’s removal from performing life in the decade after 1843. Arban’s La grande méthode complète de cornet à piston et de saxhorn (1864) promoted the cornet as the heir to the orchestral trumpet based on its chromatic facility, timbral uniformity, and mass popularity. Arban’s advocacy of the instrument was also an appeal to the art music elite at the Conservatoire, for personal acceptance in fields within which he had rarely worked and with which he had only peripheral association. While the cornet was widely used in place of the valve trumpet after 1835, its timbre was questioned, and it garnered a culturally low association with popular music, and dance orchestras, alongside its military use. Arban’s career solidified the instrument’s associations outside the elite orchestra. In the 1870s contrary to the advocacy of Dauverné and Arban, the trends they represented gave way to the historically contested, but ultimately pragmatic processes by which their students and younger colleagues embraced the modern valve trumpet. This instrument had come to broadly and satisfactorily unite the musical facility of the cornet, and the natural timbre, and historical and cultural nobility of the trumpet.
The relationship between long-term sleep profiles and challenging behavior in individuals with low-functioning autism

description: Autism spectrum disorder (or autism) is associated with a high prevalence of sleep and behavioral difficulties. Prior research indicates that between 40-80% of children experience problems with sleep and approximately 64-93% have at least one challenging behavior (i.e., behaviors that are physically dangerous and impact learning; for example, aggression, self injury or tantrums). Although the association between sleep and behavior has been investigated in adults and children with high- functioning autism, these relationships are not fully understood, and have yet to be studied at all in children with low-functioning autism (i.e., individuals with severe intellectual impairment, IQ < 70). It is well known that individuals low-functioning autism have a higher likelihood of sleep and behavior problems compared to individuals with high-functioning autism, however the relationship between sleep and behavior has yet to be explored in this population. Furthermore, as previous research has focused only on broad associations between sleep and behavior across individuals, it remains unclear whether these relationships translate in real-time for a given individual, or whether prior sleep is predictive of subsequent daytime behavior. The overarching aim of this research was to systematically identify the nature of sleep difficulties and the relationship between sleep and behavior in an understudied population of children with low functioning autism. To achieve this overall aim this research examines an unprecedented dataset of nightly sleep-awake recordings and daily behavioural recordings across a 6 month- 3 year time range obtained from a cohort of 179 individuals with low functioning autism living in two residential facilities in Boston, USA. The first chapter, reviews the existing evidence for the relationship between sleep and behavior in autism and highlights the need to study these relationships in individuals with low functioning autism. The second chapter, provides an understanding of the dataset and the machine learning techniques y used to uncover patterns of sleep and behavior in the unprecedented large dataset. The third chapter examines the different sleep phenotypes in low functioning autism and their relationship to autism clinical symptoms. The final chapters four and five, examine the predictive real-time predictive relationship between sleep and behavior in children with low functioning autism. This thesis builds on the research to date by proposing a study of sleep, and sleep and behaviour in children with low functioning autism, delving beyond traditional cross-sectional designs. The results of this thesis pave the way for future work in developing a real-time monitoring tool to predict problems and facilitate prophylactic treatment for individuals with autism.

description: We investigate the performance of a microscopic quantum heat engine consisting of V- or Lambda-type emitters interacting collectively or independently when being in contact with environmental thermal reservoirs. Though the efficiency of a Carnot's cycle is always higher than those associated with these setups, we have found that the performance of the cooperative Lambda-type heat engine may be larger than that of the V-type under similar conditions. Cooperativity among the emitters plays an important role for the Lambda-type setup, significantly improving its performance, while is less relevant for a V-type thermal engine. This is because the population inversion on the working atomic transition as well as its off-diagonal elements behave differently for these two atomic ensembles.

description: Les opérations de dragage des sédiments dans les voies navigables sont nécessaires pour maintenir de bonnes conditions de navigabilité. Un des « points sensibles » dans la gestion à terre des sédiments concerne le volume considérable qu’ils représentent, d’où l’étude de la possibilité de valorisation de ces sédiments vers des filières adaptées. La stabilisation des sédiments fins nécessite la plupart du temps un traitement préalable, souvent par ajout de liants hydrauliques (chaux, ciment). Malgré tout, aucune étude ne s’est réellement intéressée sur l’optimisation de ce mode de traitement par rapport aux caractéristiques physico-chimiques des sédiments, à la nature du liant mais aussi à la filière de valorisation identifiée. Nous nous intéressons donc à cet aspect dans la présente contribution. A cette fin, nous proposons une approche statistique basée sur une analyse de régression multivariée qui permet d’identifier parmi les paramètres relatifs aux caractéristiques des sédiments et au type de liant, ceux qui ont un impact significatif sur la résistance en compression. 7 paramètres sont alors identifiés : la teneur en matière organique, l’indice de plasticité, la teneur en eau et les quantités des additifs (ciment, chaux, fumée de silice, cendres volantes, sable). Les résultats de l’analyse ont mis en évidence que la teneur en matière organique, l'indice de plasticité et la teneur en eau du mélange sédiment-liant contribuent à faire baisser la résistance mécanique. En revanche, le ciment a été identifié comme le meilleur additif.

description: Les caractéristiques variables des marnes altérées cause des problèmes à l’ingénierie, particulièrement dans le domaine de la géotechnique et impose des études approfondies pour le dimensionnement des ouvrages.En effet, la marne est une roche sédimentaire tendre, formée par un mélange d’argile et de calcaire en proportion variable, elle forme une famille de sol qui se situe entre ces deux composants.Le travail purement expérimental réalisé est mené particulièrement sur les marnes de Tizi-Ouzou dont l’objectif est d’étudier les performances nécessaires, non seulement pour supporter le trafic de chantier, mais aussi, pour supporter le corps de chaussée, le trafic routier ou même pour être utilisé en remblai. Lorsque ces caractéristiques sont médiocres, l'utilisation de la chaux pour stabiliser ces sols est nécessaire. L’étude réalisée sur la marne de Mdouha (Tizi-Ouzou) confirme l’amélioration de leurs caractéristiques physiques et mécaniques.

Supporting Information from Mesoporous silica nanoparticle-based intelligent drug delivery system for bienzyme-responsive targeting to cancer cells and controlled release

Publisher: name: The Royal Society
Year: 2018

description: This paper proposes a novel type of multifunctional envelope-type mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) to achieve cancer cell targeting and drug-controlled release. In this system, MSNs were first modified by active targeting moiety hyaluronic acid (HA) for breast cancer cell targeting and hyaluronidases (Hyal)-induced intracellular drug release. Then gelatin, a proteinaceous biopolymer, was grafted onto the MSNs to form a capping layer via glutaraldehyde-mediated cross-linking. To shield against unspecific uptake of cells and prolong circulation time, the nanoparticles were further decorated with poly(ethylene glycol) polymers (PEG) to obtain MSN@HA-gelatin-PEG (MHGP). Doxorubicin (DOX), as a model drug, was loaded into PEMSN to assess the breast cancer cell targeting and drug release behaviours. In vitro study revealed that PEG chains protect the targeting ligand and shield against normal cells. After reaching the breast cancer cells, MMP-2 overpressed by cells hydrolyses gelatin layer to deshield PEG and switch on the function of HA. As a result, DOX-loaded MHGP was selectively trapped by cancer cells through HA receptor-mediated endocytosis and subsequently release DOX due to Hyal-catalysed degradation of HA. This system presents successful bienzyme-responsive targeting drug delivery in an optimal fashion and provides potential applications for targeted cancer therapy.

Defining resilience in the face of uncertainty: an explication of hope and coping with Parkinson’s disease in rural Australia

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is synonymous with uncertainty; people experience the trajectory and symptomology differently. The thesis explored how people living with PD in rural and regional Australia were engaging in hopeful coping strategies which lent themselves to the process of resilience. The literature points to a gendered difference in coping, along with intersectional effects associated with age, place and illness. Yet few researchers have explored how and why these social determinants might be moderating the process of resilience for people with PD. The mixed method approach to the data collection and analysis was based on feminist- pragmatic epistemology. Results revealed that people were actively engaging in creative and flexible strategies which are explored and situated in the contexts of gender, power and place. This approach to knowledge enabled a working definition of resilience to emerge which contributed to and expanded on current knowledge through the discovery of an inclusive definition of resilience for the participants. It also provided a working definition that highlighted novel ways of coping with and persevering with PD which might be explored further.
Surface water and groundwater interactions in the Ovens River

description: This thesis investigated surface water-groundwater (SW-GW) interactions in the Ovens River, southeast Australia. The Ovens River is hosted within a valley with coarse-grained Quaternary alluvial deposits in the upper catchment and flows across an alluvial floodplain with fine-grained and mature Quaternary to Tertiary sediments in the lower catchment. Electrical conductivity (EC), major ions and radon (²²²Rn) indicate that the Ovens River is dominantly gaining in the upper catchment and fluctuates between gaining and losing in the lower catchment. The groundwater inflow in the Ovens River, estimated through ²²²Rn mass balance, is 2 to 17% of the total discharge. The groundwater inflows in the upper catchment are higher during high flow periods. The spatial variation of SW-GW interaction is due to the differences in distribution of rainfall, topography and aquifer lithology across the catchment. The temporal variation of baseflow over 10 years in the Ovens River was studied by flow duration curve (FDC), graphical and filter-based hydrograph separation, and EC-derived chloride-based chemical mass balance (CMB). Baseflow fluxes derived from the hydrograph separation methods are significantly greater than those determined by the chloride-based CMB and FDC by 35% to 200%. The differences are greatest during and following high flow events. These differences suggest that discharge from transient water stores, such as river banks, the unsaturated zone, and pools or disconnected channels on the floodplain, contribute a significant proportion of baseflow in the Ovens Catchment. The differences in baseflow estimates are caused by the fact that baseflow estimated by hydrograph separation consists of both groundwater inflow and discharge from transient water stores, while CMB and FDC yield groundwater inflows only. Bank storage occurs along most of the river banks at the Ovens River in the middle and lower catchments, except for the steep mid-to-lower valley section of the upper catchment. The indications of bank storage in these areas include the reversed hydraulic head in river banks, the reduction of EC in river banks, the shift in the Na/Cl ratios, major ion concentrations and stable isotope values of the near-river groundwater toward those of the river water following high flow events, and the similarity in tritium concentrations between the water in river banks and the river water at high and moderate flows. Bank storage in the Ovens catchment occurs mainly in areas that have a relatively lower regional hydraulic gradient toward the river and high-to-moderate hydraulic conductivity river bank sediments. The knowledge gained from this thesis will improve our understanding of river-groundwater interactions and has management implications for the Ovens River and other similar rivers.

description: The nebular spectra of Type Ia supernovae ($\gtrapprox$ 100 days after explosion) consist mainly of emission lines from singly- and doubly-ionised Fe-group nuclei. However, theoretical models for many scenarios predict that non-thermal ionisation leads to multiply-ionised species whose recombination photons ionise and deplete Fe$^{+}$ , resulting in negligible [Fe II] emission. We investigate a method to determine the collisional excitation conditions from [Fe II] line ratios independently from the ionisation state and find that it cannot be applied to highly-ionised models due to the influence of recombination cascades on Fe$^{+}$ level populations. When the ionisation state is artificially lowered, the line ratios (and excitation conditions) are too similar to distinguish between explosion scenarios. We investigate changes to the treatment of non-thermal energy deposition as a way to reconcile over-ionised theoretical models with observations and find that a simple work function approximation provides closer agreement with the data for sub-Mch models than a detailed Spencer-Fano treatment with widely-used cross section data. To quantify the magnitude of additional heating processes that would be required to sufficiently reduce ionisation from fast leptons, we artificially boost the rate of energy loss to free electrons. We find that the equivalent of as much as an eight times increase to the plasma loss rate would be needed to reconcile the sub-Mch model with observed spectra. Future studies could distinguish between reductions in the non-thermal ionisation rates and increased recombination rates, such as by clumping.

description: We have performed the leading order perturbative calculation to obtain the equation of state (EoS) of the strange quark matter (SQM) at zero temperature under the magnetic field B = 10^18 G. The SQM comprises two massless quark flavors (up and down) and one massive quark flavor(strange). Consequently, we have used the obtained EoS to calculate the maximum gravitational mass and the corresponding radius of the magnetized strange quark star (SQS). We have employed two approaches, including the regular perturbation theory (RPT) and the background perturbation theory (BPT). In RPT the infrared (IR) freezing effect of the coupling constant has not been accounted for, while this effect has been included in BPT. We have obtained the value of the maximum gravitational mass to be more than three times the solar mass. The validity of isotropic structure calculations for SQS has also been investigated. Our results show that the threshold magnetic field from which an anisotropic approach begins to be significant lies in the interval 2*10^18G < B < 3*10^18G. Furthermore, we have computed the redshift, compactness and Buchdahl-Bondi bound of the SQS to show that this compact object cannot be a black hole.

Genetic determinants of rice bran oil quantity and quality: genomic, proteomic and transcriptomic approaches

description: Any increase in the economic value of the rice crop could have a large impact on the economies of Asia. Rice bran can be used to produce rice bran oil (RBO) which is emerging as a major vegetable oil. In this research, new genetic targets to improve RBO quality have been investigated using genomic, proteomic and transcriptomic approaches. The first chapter gives a detailed background about rice grain structure, effect of lipases on lipids in rice and strategies to increase the quantity and quality of oil. In the second chapter, using the genomic approach 125 putative lipase gene sequences derived from Oryza sativa ssp. japonica genome were systematically analyzed using bioinformatics tools. Based on the analysis, LOC_Os11g43510 was selected and it was experimentally demonstrated to be highly expressed in rice bran.The transcript from LOC_Os11g43510 was cloned and expressed as a secretory protein in P. pastoris X-33 which retained demonstrated lipase activity. The third chapter describes the use of a proteomics approach based on fluorescence based lipase activity probes and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) detection analysis. The proteomics approach used identified Os01g0817700 as a novel putative lipase in rice bran. Bioinformatics and expression studies also suggested that Os01g0817700 has two lipase motifs and is also expressed in the bran and embryo of the rice grain. These data suggest that Os01g0817700 is a novel putative lipase expressed in rice. In the fourth chapter, a transcriptomic approach was used to study the subset of lipid-metabolism genes being affected when OsFAD2-1 is down-regulated by RNAi to produce high oleic (HO) rice. The transcriptomic analysis in the HO rice suggests that a suite of key genes (FatA, LACS, SAD) involved in fatty acid biosynthesis are concurrently down-regulated. Moreover, a decrease in the expression of oil body proteins (caleosin and steroleosin) was also observed in the HO lines. All of these genes are suitable targets for gene manipulation in order to further increase the oleic acid content. Very few plant lipases have been studied and reported so far. This study demonstrates an alternative route of identifying lipases in rice bran and also helps to identify additional genes involved in determining rice oil composition. Overall, this study has used different approaches to identify new genetic targets for further improvement of RBO.

description: We propose an resistors, inductors and capacitors (RLC) electrical circuit to theoretically analyze and fully simulate a new type of non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with complex hoppings. We formulate its construction and investigate its properties by taking advantage of the circuit's versatility. Rich physical properties can be identified in this system from the normal modes of oscillation of the RLC circuit, including the highly tunable bulk-edge correspondence between topological winding numbers and edge states and the non-Hermitian skin phenomenon originating from a novel complex energy plane topology. The present study is able to show the wide and appealing topological physics inherent to electric circuits, which is readily generalizable to a plenty of both Hermitian and non-Hermitian nontrivial systems.
Vacuum Energy in Modern Cosmology: an analysis of quantum field theory in curved spaces and its application to cosmological spacetimes

description: The last decades have witnessed an unprecedented advancement in our knowledge of the large scale universe. In particular, increasingly accurate cosmological observations have allowed us to discover a form of "dark energy", which presently dominates the expansion of the universe. On the other hand, fundamental problems in the standard cosmological model point towards the possibility of a primordial inflationary period. Both these expansion phases have in common the fact that they should be governed by forms of energy with properties much similar to those of vacuum energy of classical or quantum fields. In the meanwhile, quantum field theory in curved spaces (QFTCS) has proved a rich framework to analyze phenomena of a quantum nature in regimes where spacetime curvature is relevant, but not too extreme; particularly, it yields novel insights on the structure and dynamics of quantum vacuum. In this dissertation, we make a thorough exposition of the fundamentals of QFTCS and present some of its applications in cosmological spacetimes. Particular attention is given to the construction of an empirical notion of particles through an idealized model of particle detectors, and to the phenomenon of particle creation in expanding FLRW spacetimes. Further, we develop the procedure of adiabatic renormalization, and use it to compute the renormalized stress tensor in these spacetimes. For a noninteracting scalar field in de Sitter spaces, we find that it takes the form of a cosmological constant, although a quantitatively self-consistent value with the background expansion can only be found at Planckian densities. We also present a construction of a simple inflationary model, driven by a self-interacting classical scalar field, and show how the quantized fluctuations of this field could give rise to a nearly scale-invariant power spectrum, like the one that is currently observed in the CMB.

description: This thesis investigates socio-economic and health economic issues related to the Kenyan people using the 2003 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey Data. The studies give empirical evidence that helps to understand the impact of socio-economic and health factors, including HIV/AIDS, on child schooling and health status. The thesis examines the factors contributing to an individual acquiring HIV, factors affecting child schooling and the factors having impact on child health in Kenya. Each of these studies employs the econometric tools necessary for reliable estimates. The econometric tools address issues with endogeneity, sample selection and missing data. The thesis is comprised of five chapters with three major ones. The first Chapter gives an introduction and overview of the thesis. This chapter covers the motivation and objectives of the thesis. It also gives some historical background about Kenya. Chapter 2 examines the factors contributing to an individual acquiring HIV, with a focus on behavioural and personal characteristics, household characteristics and other socio-economic factors. Chapter 3 deals with children’s education outcomes, specifically examining school attendance, school attainment, and rates of grade progression. The study focuses on the impact of individual and household characteristics. It incorporates the effect of socio-cultural factors as well as HIV/AIDS on child schooling. Extensive work is done on relevant econometric and statistical tools designed to address the difficulties associated with the variables used in the analysis. The discussion and conclusion gives some guidance to education policy makers in Kenya and other parts of the world which face similar conditions.

description: La présente étude traite de l’influence des sollicitations hydriques des murs fabriqués en brique en terre crue sur leur comportement mécanique. Pour cela, une comparaison de deux lots de briques en terre crue (Br1 et Br2) de différentes compositions, de microstructures et de procédés de fabrication différents a été menée. Les résultats permettent de souligner le problème du séchage, et de le mettre en relation avec l’évolution des contraintes à la rupture en compression/traction en fonction de la teneur en eau. Les essais de compression mettent en évidence une diminution de la résistance en compression de 12% pour une variation de 1 % de teneur en eau. Ainsi, un ratio de 3 entre la résistance en compression des deux briques (6 MPa pour Br1 et 20 MPa pour Br2) à 8 % de HR et à T = 23 °C est observé. Une variation similaire de la résistance en traction en fonction de la teneur en eau a été également constatée. Pour les deux briques le rapport entre la résistance en compression et en traction est proche de 3.

description: This thesis is mainly concerned with investigations into the reactivity of the gallium(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) analogue, [K(tmeda)][:Ga{[N(Dip)C(H)]2}] (Dip = C6H3Pri2-2,6). The preparation of the first monomeric Ge(I) radical was also investigated. Work carried out in these areas is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to sub-valent group 13 and 14 chemistry, with an emphasis on the preparation of group 13 metal(I) and group 14 metal(II) N-heterocyclic carbene analogues. Chapter 2 summarizes investigations into the reactivity of [K(tmeda)] [:Ga{[N(Dip)C(H)]2}] towards groups 2 and 12 metal precursors. Reactions of magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, zinc, and cadmium halides with [K(tmeda)][:Ga{[N(Dip)C(H)]2}] are discussed, and the first structurally characterized cadmium-gallium bonded molecular complex is reported. Chapter 3 summarizes investigations into the reactivity of [K(tmeda)] [:Ga{[N(Dip)C(H)]2}] towards selected lanthanide metal precursors. Reactions of samarium(II), europium(II), ytterbium(II), thulium(II), and cerium(III) iodides with [K(tmeda)][:Ga{[N(Dip)C(H)]2}] have given rise to a number of novel lanthanide-gallyl species, including the first structurally characterized GaTm or GaSm bonded complexes. Chapter 4 details the preparation of the first monomeric Ge(I) radical via the reduction of a bulky β-diketiminato germanium(II) precursor. The verification of the +1 oxidation state in this species was achieved using a combination of crystallographic, EPR and ENDOR spectroscopic, and theoretical analyses. Chapter 5 describes several miscellaneous results, largely derived from attempts to prepare bulky guanidinato complexes of p-block elements in low oxidation states.

description: An organocatalytic [3 + 3] benzannulation to access polysubstituted benzenes from readily available α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 1,3-bis(phenylsulfonyl)propene or 4-sulfonylcrotonates is described. The key reaction step is considered to be the iminium activation of enals by a secondary aminocatalyst. This organocatalytic protocol avoids the traditional strategy which is always with the aid of a transition-metal or a stoichiometric amount of strong base, and allows the synthesis of trisubstituted benzenes in high to excellent yields (74–96%).

description: Rene Magritte famously painted a picture of a pipe, with the text, “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” (this is not a pipe). This panel will discuss the benefits and limitations of using volumetric video, which records a person as they were in the moment, and digital doubles, avatars that represent a form of who we are as we wish to be. One delivers the authenticity of a video stream; the other the power of plasticity, delivering our inner state as much as our outer state while also being interactive, whether driven by a person or by AI.

description: Les bétons autoplaçants (BAP) sont des bétons très fluides qui se mettent en place sans vibration. Leurs compositions nécessitent une quantité importante de fines pour limiter le risque de ressuage et de ségrégation. L’utilisation le sable de concassage (SC) riche en fines calcaires s’avère une solution adéquate. L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer l’influence des fines calcaires (FC) issues du sable de concassage sur les propriétés rhéologiques des BAP. A cet effet, cinq mélanges de BAP à différents pourcentages de fines (FC) dans le sable (SC) (0, 5, 10, 15, et 20%), ont été préparés. Tous les mélanges ont été soumis aux essais d’étalement, V-funnel et des tests rhéologiques à l’aide d’un agitateur. L’étude comparative entre les deux modes de tests a montré une compatibilité entre l’étalement et le seuil de cisaillement (τ0), le temps V-funnel et la viscosité plastique (μ) respectivement. Les résultats ont montré que les fines calcaires contribuent à la diminution de l’étalement et le seuil de cisaillement et améliorent le Tv-funnel pour quelques pourcentages de fines.

What is a poem worth? an investigation of poetry participation in Australia
Creators: name: Loughrey, Kerry
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In Melbourne, poems are everywhere. They are in lounge rooms, hotels, festivals, toilets, wedding ceremonies and funerals. Poems are pasted in alleyways, spray-painted on walls, emailed and facebooked and blogged. In this research project, by applying Bourdieu’s concept of a symbolic good, I track the exchange of symbolic and commodity values in the cultural field of poetry participation in Melbourne. I focus on two public domains of reception. The first domain is where poems are presented in hard-copy journals and books, and the second is where poems are seen and heard in public performance. I do not assume that a poet who presents their poems in performance made a decision during the composition process to present their poem in performance only. I define the dominant categories of page poetry and performance poetry as presentations of poems and acts of participation in poetry as a literary genre. I argue that the nomenclature of literary categories, which are given orthodoxy in arts funding, journal submission, prize entry and book solicitation guidelines in the cultural field of Australian poetry, constitutes symbolic violence. In current means of evaluation, poems presented in performance are often excluded from the literary genre of poetry. The conditions of access to the evaluation of a poem perpetuate this exclusion, as I find in the research setting of Melbourne, 2013 to 2015. The thesis has two parts, a written component and a performance component. The written component outlines the investigation and findings of the research project. I locate the means, terms and categories of poetry evaluation within international, national and local public settings and present the analysis as a series of contextual landscapes. The exegesis explores the practice-led investigation which is the last and overarching landscape. The production and presentation of poems is another approach to the research questions, and another way to further investigate previous findings. Yet even here, the poem drives the inquiry. I suggest that, in order to more closely evaluate poetry, the poem remain the object of evaluation and, in this case, the research subject. Additional material(s) submitted with thesis.
