Applying the Bass model to pharmaceuticals in emerging markets
2014
Albeit the Bass model was not designed for predicting sales of newly launched drugs, pharmaceutical companies commonly use it for this purpose, mainly because of its good predictive power. Empirical experience, however, mainly refers to mature markets and it is unclear how the model behaves in emerging markets. We try to fill this gap in the literature by comparing the estimation results of the Bass model between emerging markets and mature markets in a big dataset including more than 5,000 new launches from different countries. Our results show a good performance of the model in emerging markets. Compared to mature markets the estimated parameters on average are the same, but there is a h…
Différentes approches pour la datation U/Pb des tonsteins intercalés dans les séries continentales d’âge fini-carbonifère à permien de Lucenay-lès-Ai…
2018
International audience; D’une manière générale, la présence de niveaux volcaniques (cendres ou laves) intercalés dans les séries sédimentaires présente un avantage non négligeable pour dater la sédimentation de ces séries. Des datations précises peuvent même permettre d’estimer des taux de sédimentation, ou encore de proposer des corrélations à l’échelle de différents bassins.Les séries sédimentaires du Carbonifère-Permien de Lucenay-lès-Aix, étudiées par forage, sont géographiquement situées entre des séries de même âge connues à l’affleurement : Decize-La Machine (au nord), Aumance (à l’ouest) et Autun (à l’est). Ce (ou ces) bassin(s) sont consti- tués de dépôts continentaux dans lesquels…
Caractérisation pétro-géochimique et datation U/Pb du volcanisme contemporain des bassins d’âge fini-Carbonifère à Permien du Nord du Massif Central
2018
International audience; La formation de la chaîne hercynienne, dont l’apogée a lieu au Carbonifère, participe à l’assemblage de la Pangée, qui se démantèlera par la suite à partir du Trias. La limite Carbonifère- Permien correspond donc à une période clé dans l’évolution géodynamique globale, à la transition entre une période orogénique et une période de rifting. Cependant, les reconstitutions paléogéographiques et paléoclimatiques pour cette époque sont assez peu contraintes, notamment du fait du manque de datations radiométriques et de corrélations stratigraphiques fiables entre les différents domaines sédimentaires. Plusieurs bassins sédimentaires fini-carbonifères à permiens sont préser…
Calcium Sulfate Nanoparticles with Unusual Dispersibility in Organic Solvents for Transparent Film Processing
2018
Calcium sulfate is one of the most important construction materials. Today it is employed as high-performance compound in medical applications and cement mixtures. We report a synthesis for calcium sulfate nanoparticles with outstanding dispersibility properties in organic solvents without further functionalization. The nanoparticles (amorphous with small γ-anhydrite crystallites, 5–50 nm particle size) form long-term stable dispersions in acetone without any sign of precipitation. 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveal absorbed 2-propanol on the particle surfaces that induce the unusual dispersibility. Adding water to the nanoparticle disp…
La céramique médiévale et moderne du bassin de la Loire moyenne, chrono-typologie et transformation des aires culturelles dans la longue durée (6e—19…
2022
La présente publication, en accès libre sur Huma-Num, résulte d’un Projet Collectif de Recherche (PCR) sur la céramique médiévale et moderne du bassin de la Loire moyenne qui s’inscrit dans la longue durée, puisqu’il a commencé en 1996 et a déjà fait l’objet de deux suppléments à la RACF (Husi 2003 dir. https://www.persee.fr/issue/sracf_1159-7151_2003_ant1 et Husi 2013 dir. https://journals.openedition.org/racf/1860).Cette publication a comme objectif d’appréhender : (i) la question de la chronologie à partir d’une démarche archéo-statistique originale ; (ii) les questions économiques sociales et culturelles notamment liées aux traditions de fabrication, aux flux et aux échanges de récipien…
ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF AQUACULTURE INVESTMENTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
2014
This study aims to analyze, from a technical and ec onomic point of view, the choice between alternative investments in aquaculture under condit ions of risk and uncertainty. In particular, a comparative analysis has been conducted between an inshore and an offshore farm producing European sea bass in the Mediterranean Sea. The app lied model refers to the theory of subjective probability, assigning a different probability to e xpected incomes during the investment period. Resul ts show an economic convenience of inshore with respect to offshore farming.
An Integrated Approach for the Valorization of Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Side Streams: Evaluation of Contaminants and Development of Antioxidan…
2021
In this study, the presence of As, Hg, Cd, Pb, and mycotoxins in sea bass side streams (muscle, head, viscera, skin, and tailfin) was evaluated as a preliminary step to assess the effect of an innovative extraction technique (Pressurized Liquid Extraction
Lipid composition and metabolism of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) fed diets containing wheat gluten and legumes meals as substitutes fo…
2013
The role of dietary protein source on growth performance and lipid metabolism in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) was investigated, by the evaluation of fat content in different tissues, plasma metabolites, liver lipogenic activity and fatty acid composition of dorsal muscle tissue.Five isonitrogenous (490gkg-1crude protein dry-matter basis) and isolipidic (170gkg-1lipid dry-matter basis) diets with graded levels of wheat gluten, soybean and pea meal in substitution of fish meal were evaluated in European sea bass (initial body weight 23.9±0.1) for 96days. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in dorsal muscle and liver lipid contents. Plasma glucose and cholesterol levels …
Impact de la variabilité climatique et de la dynamique des états de surface sur les écoulements du bassin béninois du fleuve Niger
2007
This thesis has for principal objective to establish a diagnosis of the hydrological system of the beninese basin of the Niger River, in the context of the rainfall decrease which has severely affected Africa since the 1970s. To achieve this goal, this study was based on three main types of data :weather (rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, potential evapotranspiration, real evapotranspiration), hydrological (stream flow, recharge) and of land surface conditions (land cover types, NDVI).It considers three key aspects. The first one, devoted to the study of hydro-climatic variability over the period 1955- 1992, shows that the rainfall deficits of the 1970s and 1980s were largely amplif…
Effect of in vitro exposure to cadmiumand copper on sea bass blood cells
2009
Blood cells freshly collected from sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were exposed in vitro to different concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) at 10-7 M, 10-5 M, 10-3 M, and exam- ined for neutral red retention capacity and for cell vitality with MTT assay. A relationship between heavy metal exposure and alteration in responses of blood cells in a dose-time-dependent was found. Our results showed that fish blood cells may constitute an interesting biological model for experimen- tal and applied toxicology, especially in the case of environmental pollution.
