Assessment of genetically modified sugar beet H7‐1 for renewal of authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (application EFSA‐GMO‐RX‐006)
2017
Efsa Panel On Genetically Modified Organisms (gmo)Scientific opinionRequestor: European Commission (DG SANTE)Question number: EFSA-Q-2017-00026; Following the submission of application EFSA-GMO-RX-006 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 fromKWS SAAT SE and Monsanto Company, the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the EuropeanFood Safety Authority (GMO Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific risk assessment on the datasubmitted in the context of the renewal of authorisation application for the herbicide-tolerantgenetically modified sugar beet H7-1. The data received in the context of this renewal applicationcontained a systematic search and evaluation of literature, updated bioinforma…
Influence of the drawing process on the defect generation in multistep-index germanium-doped optical fibers
2009
International audience; Variation of germanium lone pair center (GLPC) concentration in germanosilicate multistep-index optical fibers and preforms was studied using confocal microscopy luminescence technique. The experimental results provide evidence that in the central core region ([Ge] ~11 wt. % ) of our specific canonical samples the ratio [GLPC]/[Ge] is five times larger in fiber than in preforms. The relative influence of the glass composition and of the drawing process on the generation efficiency of the GLPC defects that drive the glass photosensitivity is discussed. The radial distribution of these defects suggests a possible enhancement of the defect creation related to the intern…
OPERADS AND JET MODULES
2005
Let $A$ be an algebra over an operad in a cocomplete closed symmetric monoidal category. We study the category of $A$-modules. We define certain symmetric product functors of such modules generalising the tensor product of modules over commutative algebras, which we use to define the notion of a jet module. This in turn generalises the notion of a jet module over a module over a classical commutative algebra. We are able to define Atiyah classes (i.e. obstructions to the existence of connections) in this generalised context. We use certain model structures on the category of $A$-modules to study the properties of these Atiyah classes. The purpose of the paper is not to present any really de…

Molecular Analysis With 16S rRNA PCR/Sanger Sequencing and Molecular Antibiogram Performed on DNA Extracted From Valve Improve Diagnosis and Targeted…
2022
Abstract Background Molecular analysis (MA) on heart valve (HV) improves the microbiologic diagnosis of infectious endocarditis (IE). The main drawback of MA is the lack of antimicrobial susceptibility information. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort observational study of consecutive adult patients from April 2012 to May 2021 who underwent valve surgery at our hospital. The performance of MA, blood cultures (BC) and valve cultures (VC), and the diagnostic and therapeutic impact of MA were evaluated. Molecular antibiogram results were compared to culture-based antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Results A total of 137 patients with definite IE and 52 patients with no IE were e…
Abolition de l’esclavage et réorganisation des colonies : les quinze décrets du 27 avril 1848
2022
International audience; L’esclavage a été aboli définitivement en France en 1848, soit plus d’un demi-siècle après la Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen de 1789, par décrets du Gouvernement provisoire de la IIème République naissante. En effet, le principe de l’abolition immédiate est proclamé dès le 4 mars 1848 par un décret rédigé par Victor Schœlcher rentré en France seulement la veille. Afin de préparer les mesures nécessaires pour en assurer son application, une Commission d’abolition présidée par Schœlcher est instituée. Ses travaux aboutissent à quinze décrets du 27 avril 1848, décrets proclamant l’abolition immédiate de l’esclavage − sans attendre un vote de l’Assemblée…
La délimitation de la citoyenneté en Côte-d'Or, d'après le droit électoral de la IIe République
1997
One of the essential elements of citizenship lies in participating in politics. Il is particulary through the right to vote that man will be fully integrated into society and take part in the decisions concerning the running of the government. Adopting universal suffrage is giving an important power to men. Thus, certain rulers have tried to channel the vote by excluding citizens liable to be detrimental to them. The law of May 31, 1850 meant to eliminate the « vile multitude », according to the expression used by Thiers. And it is in particular through the study of the concrete consequences of this law that the influence of the electoral system in the definition of citizenship can be measu…
Introduction to Gestural Similarity in Music. An Application of Category Theory to the Orchestra
2019
Mathematics, and more generally computational sciences, intervene in several aspects of music. Mathematics describes the acoustics of the sounds giving formal tools to physics, and the matter of music itself in terms of compositional structures and strategies. Mathematics can also be applied to the entire making of music, from the score to the performance, connecting compositional structures to acoustical reality of sounds. Moreover, the precise concept of gesture has a decisive role in understanding musical performance. In this paper, we apply some concepts of category theory to compare gestures of orchestral musicians, and to investigate the relationship between orchestra and conductor, a…
Learning from the past in the COVID-19 era: rediscovery of quarantine, previous pandemics, origin of hospitals and national healthcare systems, and e…
2020
Abstract After the dramatic coronavirus outbreak at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, on 11 March 2020, a pandemic was declared by the WHO. Most countries worldwide imposed a quarantine or lockdown to their citizens, in an attempt to prevent uncontrolled infection from spreading. Historically, quarantine is the 40-day period of forced isolation to prevent the spread of an infectious disease. In this educational paper, a historical overview from the sacred temples of ancient Greece—the cradle of medicine—to modern hospitals, along with the conceive of healthcare systems, is provided. A few foods for thought as to the conflict between ethics in medicine and shortage of personne…
