Rapid odorant release in mammalian odour binding proteins facilitates their temporal coupling to odorant signals.
2010
; We have measured the effect of rat odorant-binding protein 1 on the rates of ligand uptake and liquid-to-air transfer rates with a set of defined odorous compounds. Comparison of observed rate constants (k(obs)) with data simulated over a wide range of different kinetic and thermodynamic regimes shows that the data do not agree with the previously held view of a slow off-rate regime (k(off) <0.0004 s(-1)). We propose that a rapid koff would be a necessary requirement for such a system, since slow odorant-release rates would result in significant decorrelation between the olfactory world and odour perception.

Pesticides sur blé tendre d'hiver, diversité dans le détail
2013
Contexte -L’analyse des pratiques d’application des pesticides (herbicides, fongicides, insecticides, ré-gulateurs) sur le blé tendre d’hiver (BTH) a été réalisée à partir de données d’en-quêtes annuelles sur une petite zone agricole en Côte-d’Or. Etude - L’étude a porté sur 294 parcelles appar-tenant à 13 exploitants pour la période 2004-2011. L’indice retenu pour carac-tériser l’usage des pesti-cides est l’IFT (indice de fréquence de traitements).
Conservation à long terme de systèmes biologiques viables et fonctionnels
2013
National audience; La congélation et la déshydratation permettent la conservation de systèmes biologiques sur de longues périodes par le ralentissement des réactions de dégradation cellulaire. Ces opérations impliquent des transferts de chaleur et de masse pouvant conduire à l'altération des structures cellulaires. La maîtrise de la cinétique de ces transferts, associée à l'utilisation de différents protectants cellulaires, permet la mise en place de protocoles de congélation et de déshydratation spécifiques en fonction du système biologique à conserver.
Digital tools for a biomass prediction from a plant-growth model. Application to a weed control in wheat crop
2019
International audience; Weed control is essential for crop quality and yield. Usually, the main factors affectingdecision-making of farmers in weeding are based on the presence of certain weedvarieties and their density (plants/m2). However, the weed management at the scale ofthe crop cycle refers to other competition indicators, more reliable, such as plantbiomass or leaf area index (LAI). Classically, plant biomass measurements are obtainedby a destructive method of sampling, time consuming and it turns out to be unworkablein practice for farmers. This project proposes to study an innovative method of biomassevaluation which is based on the acquisition of plot images to determine the leaf…
Rbt1 Protein Domains Analysis in Candida albicans Brings Insights into Hyphal Surface Modifications and Rbt1 Potential Role during Adhesion and Biofi…
2013
Cell wall proteins are central to the virulence of Candida albicans. Hwp1, Hwp2 and Rbt1 form a family of hypha-associated cell surface proteins. Hwp1 and Hwp2 have been involved in adhesion and other virulence traits but Rbt1 is still poorly characterized. To assess the role of Rbt1 in the interaction of C. albicans with biotic and abiotic surfaces independently of its morphological state, heterologous expression and promoter swap strategies were applied. The N-terminal domain with features typical of the Flo11 superfamily was found to be essential for adhesiveness to polystyrene through an increase in cell surface hydrophobicity. A 42 amino acid-long domain localized in the central part o…
Nonlinear resonances and some of their applications to information processing
2021
The study of resonance phenomena in nonlinear dynamical systems has drawn considerable attention for years. The most studied nonlinear resonance is undoubtedly the famous stochastic resonance, which consists of perturbing a nonlinear system with an appropriate amount of noise to enhance the detection of a subthreshold input signal. Since the introduction of stochastic resonance in the context of climate dynamics, it was later observed that a deterministic high frequency perturbation can replace noise leading to vibrational resonance. Even if this latter resonance was investigated in many areas of science for more than two decades now, it is still receiving attentions. It is the subject of t…
Introduction. The value of accessibility in the cultural and creative industries: Translation-driven settings
2020
This study focuses on the relationship between translation, accessibility and the cultural creative industries, as well as on the different varieties of genres included in these industries as cultures of accessibility. The accessibility of CCI has grown exponentially in different parts of the globe and has increasingly become part of projects of significant importance in contemporary societies that rely on informational, global, and networked systems of communication, i.e., developed countries. CCI exist within public-domain areas and are stimulated by the critical rethinking of the means which can be used to support cultural development. CCI are in fact driven by structures of the knowledg…
L’identità sessuale LGBTQI+. Processi sottesi tra vissuti e percezioni degli adolescenti
2022
Adolescence is one of the phases of the family life cycle which is characterized by a fluctuating mix of emotions through changes, evolutions and discoveries; a continuous search for their spaces, their places, their borders and the characteristics of their identity. If this continuous research is combined with a sexual identity that differs from the strongly cisnormal and heteronormed models of contemporary society, the “coming out” of adolescents who belong to the LGBTQI+ community is difficult to manage.

Vanhoillislestadiolainen herätysliike murroksessa : henkilöhahmotutkimus Pauliina Rauhalan teoksesta Synninkantajat
2020
Tutkielmani aineistona on Pauliina Rauhalan teos Synninkantajat, joka käsittelee fiktiivisen romaanin keinoin vanhoillislestadiolaisessa herätysliikkeessä ilmenneitä epäkohtia ja vallankäyttöä. Kohdistan tutkimukseni romaanin runsaisiin intertekstuaalisiin aineksiin, jotka määrittävät henkilöhahmoja. Samalla intertekstuaaliset ainekset vaikuttavat affektiivisesti lukijaan ja rakentavat vanhoillislestadiolaisuudesta muodostuvaa käsitystä. Synninkantajat kertoo yhden suvun tarinaa vanhoillislestadiolaisessa yhteisössä. Romaanin nimen mukaisesti herätysliikkeen käytänteet siirtyvät sukupolvelta toiselle jo äidinmaidossa. Oma riittämättömyys ja Jumalalle kelpaamattomuus koetaan synteinä, joista…
Regulation of the alpha-secretase ADAM10 by its prodomain and proprotein convertases.
2001
SPECIFIC AIMSTo identify the proprotein convertases responsible for maturation of the α-secretase ADAM10, we investigated the influence of PC7 and furin on ADAM10 processing and the resulting effect on amyloid precursor protein cleavage. We also examined the functional role of the ADAM10 prodomain by coexpression of a prodomain-deleted ADAM10 mutant together with its prodomain in trans.PRINCIPAL FINDINGS1. ADAM10 is proteolytically processed by PC7 and furinThe disintegrin metalloproteinase ADAM10 possesses α-secretase activity as well as a potential proprotein convertase recognition sequence (RKKR) after its prodomain. By amino-terminal sequencing of ADAM10 purified from bovine kidney plas…
