Mapping soil and substratum at a very high spatial resolution in the hillslope of Couchey (France)

2012

International audience; In this work, we present a method based on very high spatial resolution (VHSR) aerial images acquired in the visible domain and that map soil surface diversity at the hillslope scale with a spatial resolution of a few centimeters. This method combines aerial VHSR image classification with local soil sampling. Principal component analysis (PCA) and non-supervised classification was performed on image characteristics to define soil surface characteristic classes (SSC). Then soil surface mapping was combined with soil surface descriptions and soil profiles to define soil types by physical and chemical characteristics. As soil results from parent material alteration, ide…

TRIPS Agreement: From Minimum Standards to Double Standards of Intellectual Property Rights Protection in North-South Relations

2015

The WTO Trips agreement's basic objective of establishing minimum international standards for IP rights protection is based on a restrictive " one-fits-all " approach that denies the right to enact or not to enact intellectual property rights provisions to developing countries and least developed countries and restrict their ability to effectively adapt national laws to their own socioeconomic environment and development level. Developed countries had widely benefited from this privilege when no minimum binding standards of intellectual property existed in multilateral relations. The Trips agreement stabilizes the strong inequalities in terms of bargaining power between rich and poor countr…

Zadie Smith's autonomous writing commitments to E.M. Forster

2010

Though Zadie Smith has published only three novels so far, her fiction seems to follow some astonishing path from standard social commitment to the world to a more aesthetic and ideological commitment to Forster's Edwardian Howards End. In White Teeth Smith writes the story of today's multicultural London in a committed way, though soon enough her particular view of the past and its aftermath signals some tension between literature and history. The logic of chance and randomness provides a first hint of the autonomy of fiction for Smith: fiction allows the past and history “to have happened”. On Beauty may forget the world in the same ambiguous way as Howards End did, eventually more poetic…

L'Invisible Londres et ses modernités dans Howards End de James Ivory

2005

International audience; Entre fascination et répulsion, le sentiment de Forster pour la capitale veut, dans Howards End, se faire l'écho de la frilosité à l'époque édouardienne face à la nouvelle civilisation, au nouveau monde, dont on s'accorde alors à voir en Londres la métaphore la plus achevée comme la plus affligeante. En 1992, après Chambre avec vue (A Room with a View) et Maurice, James Ivory, réalisateur de nationalité américaine dont la sensibilité avouée et l'esthétique filmique se rapprochent plus souvent de la culture anglaise, signe l'adaptation à l'écran de ce roman de Forster. Film apparemment classique et poli, exemple même de ce que l'adaptation cinématographique peut produ…

Hedonic message or nutritional message: Which one works?

2019

Eating is not just about incorporating foods or nutrients. Eating or feeding is both a symbolic and social act that is part of a family, a history and a society. This is an essential act which contributes to social identity and to alterity, and which is a vector of pleasure and commensality. However, eating becomes a source of worries because of the conflicting messages and unrealistic injunctions broadcasted through paper press and Internet web sites that lead to misunderstandings and confusions in the mind of the eaters. Moreover, the pleasure of eating is demonized and stigmatized in favor of rational messages highlighting the nutritional values of "healthy" foods to be favored. However,…

Goodness-of-fit tests for parametric excess hazard rate models with covariates

2017

In this paper we propose a general methodology for testing the null hypothesis that an excess hazard rate model, with or without covariates, belongs to a parametric family. Estimating the excess hazard rate function parametrically through the maximum likelihood method and non-parametrically (or semi-parametrically) we build a discrepancy process which is shown to be asymptotically Gaussian under the null hypothesis. Based on this result we are able to build some statistical tests in order to decide wether or not the null hypothesis is acceptable. We illustrate our results by the construction of chi-square tests which the behavior is studied through a Monte-Carlo study. Then the testing proc…
