Application of the SKYRAD Improved Langley plot method for the in situ calibration of CIMEL Sun-sky photometers
2007
The in situ procedure for determining the solar calibration constants, originally developed for the PREDE Sun-sky radiometers and based on a modified version of the Langley plot, was applied to a CIMEL instrument located in Valencia, Spain, not integrated into AERONET. Taking into account the different mechanical and electronic characteristics of the two radiometers, the method was adapted to the characteristics of the CIMEL instrument. The iterative procedure for the determination of the solar calibration constants was applied to a 3-year data set. The results were compared with the two sets of experimental calibration constants determined during this period using the standard Langley plot…

Résumé des recherches sur les bioagresseurs du riz pluvial
2009
La recherche a été menée sur plusieurs fronts ces dernières campagnes pour la lutte durable contre les bioagresseurs du riz pluvial. Elle s'est orientée vers l'exploitation de la biodiversité des plantes et la recherche de systèmes de culture pour gérer les " vers blancs " ou " scarabées noirs " (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae), les foreurs de tiges, la pyriculariose et le striga. Les résultats des essais réalisés avec le projet BVlac sur l'utilisation du champignon entomopathogène Metarhizium anisopliae ainsi que les résultats des essais menés avec l'ONG Tafa sur la lutte contre le striga dans différents systèmes de culture seront présentés par ailleurs. Nous rapporterons ici les recherchés mené…
The Aqua-Planet Experiment (APE): Response to Changed Meridional SST Profile
2013
This paper explores the sensitivity of Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) simulations to changes in the meridional distribution of sea surface temperature (SST). The simulations are for an aqua-planet, a water covered Earth with no land, orography or sea- ice and with specified zonally symmetric SST. Simulations from 14 AGCMs developed for Numerical Weather Prediction and climate applications are compared. Four experiments are performed to study the sensitivity to the meridional SST profile. These profiles range from one in which the SST gradient continues to the equator to one which is flat approaching the equator, all with the same maximum SST at the equator. The zonal mean circ…
Practices in research, surveillance and control of neglected tropical diseases by One Health approaches: A survey targeting scientists from French-sp…
2021
One health (OH) approaches have increasingly been used in the last decade in the fight against zoonotic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). However, descriptions of such collaborations between the human, animal and environmental health sectors are still limited for French-speaking tropical countries. The objective of the current survey was to explore the diversity of OH experiences applied to research, surveillance and control of NTDs by scientists from French-speaking countries, and discuss their constraints and benefits. Six zoonotic NTDs were targeted: echinococcoses, trypanosomiases, leishmaniases, rabies, Taenia solium cysticercosis and leptospiroses. Invitations to fill in an online q…
Ro 15-4513 Antagonizes Alcohol-Induced Sedation in Mice Through αβγ2-type GABAA Receptors
2011
Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) has many molecular targets in the nervous system, its potency at these sites being low compared with those of sedative drugs. This has made it difficult to discover ethanol’s binding site(s). There are two putative binding sites at gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor subtypes for the proposed ethanol antagonist Ro 15-4513, the established gamma2 subunit-dependent benzodiazepine site and the recently reported delta subunit-dependent Ro 15-4513/ethanol binding site. Here, we aimed at clarifying the in vivo role of Ro 15-4513 at these two sites. We found that the antagonism of ethanol actions by Ro 15-4513 in wildtype mice was dependent on the test: an open f…
Leksiskie izteiksmes līdzekļi R. Bredberija romānā "451 grāds pēc Fārenheita"
2021
Amerikāņu rakstnieks Rejs Bredberijs ir visplašāk pazīstams, pateicoties viņa augsti novērtētajam un bieži referencētajam antiutopijas romānam "451 grāds pēc Fārenheita". Viņa proza atšķiras ar tās tēlaino un īpatnējo stilu, kurš iekļauj bagātīgu dažādu mākslinieciskās izteiksmes līdzekļu izmantojumu. Šī bakalaura darba mērķis ir apskatīt un kategorizēt romānā "451 grāds pēc Fārenheita" izmantotos tēlainās izteiksmes līdzekļus, kā arī analizēt to sižetisko nozīmi un efektu. Šī pētījuma teorētiskā daļa galvenokārt ietver dažādu teoriju apskatu saistībā ar izteiksmes līdzekļiem un tēlainību, savukārt praktiskā daļa sniedz vēstījuma analīzi. Pēc 225 metaforu, metonīmiju un salīdzinājumu izpēte…
The Aqua-Planet Experiment (APE): CONTROL SST Simulation
2013
Climate simulations by 16 atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) are compared on an aqua-planet, a water-covered Earth with prescribed sea surface temperature varying only in latitude. The idealised configuration is designed to expose differences in the circulation simulated by different models. Basic features of the aqua-planet climate are characterised by comparison with Earth. The models display a wide range of behaviour. The balanced component of the tropospheric mean flow, and mid-latitude eddy covariances subject to budget constraints, vary relatively little among the models. In contrast, differences in damping in the dynamical core strongly influence transient eddy amplitudes…
