Biochemical characterization of the skeletal matrix of the massive coral, Porites australiensis - The saccharide moieties and their localization.
2018
11 pages; International audience; To construct calcium carbonate skeletons of sophisticated architecture, scleractinian corals secrete an extracellular skeletal organic matrix (SOM) from aboral ectodermal cells. The SOM, which is composed of proteins, saccharides, and lipids, performs functions critical for skeleton formation. Even though polysaccharides constitute the major component of the SOM, its contribution to coral skeleton formation is poorly understood. To this end, we analyzed the SOM of the massive colonial coral, Porites australiensis, the skeleton of which has drawn great research interest because it records environmental conditions throughout the life of the colony. The coral …
Ethnicity and Educational Inequality: An investigation of School Experience in Australia and France. Ethnicité et inégalité scolaire : une enquête su…
2008
This thesis examines the contribution of ‘ethnic' background to the school experiences of educationally and socially disadvantaged students in the senior years of high school (n=927). To investigate the role both of ethnic identification and its interplay with institutional factors, a comparative analysis of secondary student experiences in two national settings was undertaken. The case of Turkish-background students in Australia and France suggests that the influences of ethnic identity are thoroughly transformed from one setting to the other by distinctive pedagogical structures. Streaming and severe academic judgement in France lower academic self-esteem, while creating resentment and so…
Monitoring a meat-free pledge with smartphones:An experimental study
2020
Pledges are a popular strategy to encourage meat reduction, though experimental studies of their efficacy are lacking. Three-hundred and twenty-five participants from three different countries (UK, Germany, Australia) were randomly assigned to pledge 28 days meat-free or not, and their behavior was tracked via smartphones. Participants answered daily surveys regarding their eating behavior, meat cravings, and shared photos of their meals. Baseline data was collected prior to the pledge, after the 28 days, and one-month post-intervention. Participants assigned to the pledge condition ate less meat across the 28 days, compared to control participants. Meat reductions, observed at outtake, did…
Les docteurs et l'expatriation
2012
En ligne sur : http://cadres.apec.fr/Emploi/content/download/526298/1251232/version/1/file/Jeunes+et+entreprises.pdf; National audience; Cette communication à une Journée d'Etudes de l'APEC présente les premiers résultats d'une recherche réalisée par l'IREDU sur la mobilité internationale des jeunes diplômés de doctorat. L'accent est mis sur la problématique de la recherche, sur les résultats d'une enquête qualitative auprès d'une douzaine de docteurs français travaillant dans un pays étranger puis sur les premiers résultats d'une enquête quantitative. Les résultats soulignent notamment l'importance des difficultés d'accès à l'emploi en France dans les motivations qui ont conduit les jeunes…
