Dissolved silica in the Garonne River waters : changes in the weathering dynamics

2000

The major ion chemistry of the Garonne River is indicative of seasonal variations in the weathering dynamics of the drainage basin. Using the geochemical model MEGA for calculation of the contribution of atmospheric CO2 to the total bicarbonate fluxes exported by the Garonne River allows estimations of the concentrations of the major dissolved elements that originate from silicate- and carbonate-rock weathering. The molecular ratio SiO2/Al2O3 was calculated for the 1989–1992 period to identify the main type of weathering in the Garonne River, and montmorillonite was shown to be the major mineral occurring in the weathering products. The seasonal variations of the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio also showe…

Modeling lead input and output in soils using lead isotopic geochemistry

2004

The aim of this study is to model downward migration of lead from the plow layer of an experimental site located in Versailles (about 15 km southwest of Paris, France). Since 1928, samples have been collected annually from the topsoil of three control plots maintained in bare fallow. Thirty samples from 10 different years were analyzed for their lead and scandium contents and lead isotopic compositions. The fluxes are simple because of the well-controlled experimental conditions in Versailles: only one output flux, described as a first-order differential function of the anthropogenic lead pool, was taken into account; the inputs were exclusively ascribed to atmospheric deposition. The combi…

Evaluation agroécologique de systèmes de culture en zone tropicale humide : Cas de la mise en valeur agricole d'une savane herbacée acide (Plaine des…

2013

Dans les régions tropicales humides, concilier intensification agricole et protection des ressources naturelles est un défi majeur et difficile à relever. Dans les savanes acides du nord-est laotien, des systèmes de culture de semis direct sur couverture végétale (SCV), basés sur les trois principes du non-labour, d’une couverture permanente du sol, et sur la pratique de rotations culturales diversifiées, sont proposés comme alternative technique à l’intensification agricole conventionnelle basée sur le labour. Si ces systèmes ont connu une diffusion importante et rapide dans les grandes agricultures mécanisées, leur diffusion reste néanmoins à ce jour limitée en contexte de petite agricult…

Lead isotopes of the carbonate-hosted Kabwe, Tsumeb, and Kipushi Pb-Zn-CU sulphide deposits in relation to Pan African orogenesis in the Damaran-Lufi…

1999

Lead isotope ratios of galena from the carbonate-hosted massive sulphide deposits of Kabwe (Pb-Zn) and Tsumeb (Pb-Zn-Cu) in Zambia and Namibia, respectively, have been measured and found to be homogeneous and characteristic of upper crustal source rocks. Kabwe galena has average isotope ratios of 206/204Pb = 17.997 ± 0.007, 207/204Pb = 15.713 ± 0.010 and 208/204Pb = 38.410 ± 0.033. Tsumeb galena has slightly higher 206/204Pb (18.112 ± 0.035) and slightly lower 207/204Pb (15.674 ± 0.016) and 208/204Pb (38.276 ± 0.073) ratios than Kabwe galena. The isotopic differences are attributed to local differences in the age and composition of the respective source rocks for Kabwe and Tsumeb. The homog…

Identification of bound alcohols in soil humic acids by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

2000

International audience; Humic acids are complex, partly macromolecular, yellow-brownish substances occurring in soils, waters and sediments. In order to shed some light on their molecular structure, crop humic acids were cleaved by alkaline hydrolysis (KOH). The products were fractionated by thin layer chromatography to give mono-alcohols which were analysed as acetate derivatives by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Linear alcohols, sterols, stanols and plant-derived triterpenoid alcohols were identified by co-injection of pure standards and by comparison with literature data. These findings imply that alcohols could have been incorporated into the humic matrix by esterifica…

Exposition des eaux souterraines peu profondes à Escherichia coli résistant aux antibiotiques : approche hydrochimique pour identifier les sources et…

2016

L'antibiorésistance est une préoccupation croissante en termes de santé humaine et animale au niveau international. Le but du travail est de suivre l'impact sur la qualité de l'eau dans le bassin versant de l’Ouche et évaluer la capacité des E. coli productrices de BLSE de type CTX-M à se propager et survivre dans les eaux. Une stratégie pour l’échantillonnage des eaux de surface et souterraines a été déployée selon les contextes hydrogéologiques, l'utilisation des terres et les STEP. L’approche hydrochimique s’appuie sur l’analyse des paramètres tels que les nitrates et le bore complétés par l’analyse de Terres rares dont le gadolinium et le suivi de produits pharmaceutiques (caféine, carb…

Étude biochimique des récepteurs aux goûts sucré et umami : Rôle des domaines N-terminaux et caractérisation d'un inhibiteur spécifique, la gurmarine

2011

The sweet taste receptor is a heterodimer composed of two subunits called T1R2 and T1R3 whereas the T1R1 and the T1R3 subunits form a heterodimeric receptor for umami taste (the savory taste of monosodium glutamate). Each subunit belongs to the class C of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and is constituted by a large extracellular Nterminal domain (NTD) linked to the transmembrane domain by a cysteine-rich region. The NTD is composed of two lobes separated by a cleft in which ligands bind. T1R1- and T1R2-NTDs are able to bind sweeteners and umami compounds respectively and undergo ligand-dependent conformational changes (Zhang et al., 2008 ; Nie et al., 2005). However, the relative contr…
