Forme di vita / forme del corpo: studi di caso.
2019
La nozione di “forma di vita”, in semiotica, appare al tempo stesso evidente e confusa. Vagliata e discussa da parecchi anni, viene utilizzata da molti studiosi in più occasioni e con diversi scopi. Funziona come un tipico termine ombrello. Parallelamente, molti nodi problematici relativi alla scienza della significazione, pur avendo palesi tangenze con tale nozione, sembrano volerne o poterne fare a meno, dichiarandola in contumacia fuori corso. The notion of "life form", in semiotics, appears at the same time evident and confused. Sieved and discussed for several years, it is used by many scholars on several occasions and for different purposes. It works like a typical umbrella term. At t…
Consensus nomenclature for CD8(+) T cell phenotypes in cancer
2015
International audience; Whereas preclinical investigations and clinical studies have established that CD8+ T cells can profoundly affect cancer progression, the underlying mechanisms are still elusive. Challenging the prevalent view that the beneficial effect of CD8+ T cells in cancer is solely attributable to their cytotoxic activity, several reports have indicated that the ability of CD8+ T cells to promote tumor regression is dependent on their cytokine secretion profile and their ability to self-renew. Evidence has also shown that the tumor microenvironment can disarm CD8+ T cell immunity, leading to the emergence of dysfunctional CD8+ T cells. The existence of different types of CD8+ T…
Figure S2 from Species' ecological functionality alters the outcome of fish stocking success predicted by a food-web model
2018
Changes in the adult whitefish biomasses in response to increased whitefish stocking (Wht250 [light blue]; Wht300 [black]; Wht350 [dark blue]) compared to the whitefish baseline (Wht200 [light gray]). Dashed lines indicate the time point when fishing was introduced to the simulations.

La minéralité perçue dans le vin
2015
Article technique.; National audience; Beaucoup des aspects les plus fondamentaux et passionnants du vin demeurent conceptuellement insaisissables. Lorsque nous y sommes confrontés d’un point de vue sensoriel, nous pouvons avoir l’impression de bien connaître les attributs les plus abstraits du vin comme la qualité, la complexité et la minéralité, mais d’un point de vue scientifique nous savons très peu de chose sur ce que précisément ces termes signifient à la fois pour les professionnels et les consommateurs de vin. Par exemple, malgré l’intérêt actuel de la filière et des producteurs pour la perception de la minéralité dans le vin et l’utilisation de plus en plus fréquente de ce terme pa…

Early development of hedonic and motivational aspects of eating behaviour
2015
Eating is essential for survival. However, the newborn is not an autonomous eater, and has to learn ‘how', ‘what', ‘when', and ‘how much' to eat quickly enough to ensure harmonious growth and development. In other nutritional areas, it has been shown during the past 20 years that early experiences are likely to impact long-term health outcomes. Thus, it appears fundamental to understand the early development of hedonic and motivational aspects of eating behaviour. This presentation will describe several studies conducted in our group during the past 10 years, in order to gain more knowledge about the development of what and how much children eat, in relation with food sensory and nutritiona…

From Sequences to Variables : Rethinking the Relationship between Sequences and Outcomes
2021
Sequence analysis is increasingly used in the social sciences for the holistic analysis of life-course and other longitudinal data. The usual approach is to construct sequences, calculate dissimilarities, group similar sequences with cluster analysis, and use cluster membership as a dependent or independent variable in a regression model. This approach may be problematic, as cluster memberships are assumed to be fixed known characteristics of the subjects in subsequent analyses. Furthermore, it is often more reasonable to assume that individual sequences are mixtures of multiple ideal types rather than equal members of some group. Failing to account for uncertain and mixed memberships may l…
