Performance of $b$-Jet Identification in the ATLAS Experiment
2016
We thank CERN for the very successful operation of the LHC, as well as the support staff from our institutions without whom ATLAS could not be operated efficiently. We acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWFW and FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; SSTC, Belarus; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; CONICYT, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; COLCIENCIAS, Colombia; MSMT CR, MPO CR and VSC CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, DNSRC and Lundbeck Foundation, Denmark; IN2P3-CNRS, CEA-DSM/IRFU, France; GNSF, Georgia; BMBF, HGF, and MPG, Germany; GSRT, Greece; RGC, Hong Kong SAR, China; ISF, I-CORE and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT an…
Dans les coulisses de la négociation des plans de suppression d'emplois
2014
Labour negotiations usually take place during formal, official and visible meetings. Meanwhile, they can also be hidden, when negotiators decide or accept to meet away from sight of management and employees. In this article, we draw upon Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective (Goffman, 1959) applied to labour bargaining (Friedman, 1994) to shed light upon the hidden part of the negotiation of downsizing programmes. During these episodes, the outcome of the bargaining process is uncertain. In this context, the role played by secret encounters in achieving a satisfying agreement appears crucial.
Evolución de la investigación sobre actividad física en el medio natural en educación física: Resultados en Web of ScienceTM desde 1990 a 2016
2017
Monográfico con el título: "Actividades Físicas en el Medio Natural (1ª parte)" Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave también en inglés Se pretende analizar la evolución del número de publicaciones sobre actividad física en el medio natural en educación física. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en la base de datos Web of ScienceTM desde 1990 hasta 2016. Los términos de búsqueda usados se basaron en dos conceptos: 1) actividad física en el medio natural y 2) educación física. Se encontraron un total de 116 resultados, con una media de 4,3 publicaciones por año, observándose una tendencia a aumentar el número de publicaciones a lo largo de los …
Fracture Shape and Orientation Contributions to P-Wave Velocity and Anisotropy of Alpine Fault Mylonites
2021
P-wave anisotropy is significant in the mylonitic Alpine Fault shear zone. Mineral- and texture-induced anisotropy are dominant in these rocks but further complicated by the presence of fractures. Electron back-scattered diffraction and synchrotron X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) data are acquired on exhumed schist, protomylonite, mylonite and ultramylonite samples to quantify mineral phases, crystal preferred orientations, microfractures and porosity. The samples are composed of quartz, plagioclase, mica and accessory garnet, and contain 3-5% porosity. Based on the micro-CT data, the representative pore shape has an aspect ratio of 5:2:1. Two numerical models are compared to calculate the…
Drones in cyber security environment
2019
Aerial unmanned vehicles (AUV) are currently used for a wide range of operations such as border surveillance, surveillance, reconnaissance, transport, aerial photography, traffic control, earth observation, communications, broadcasting and armed attacks. AUVs are presumed to be reliable, automated and autonomous machines. AUVs are extremely suitable for long missions that strain flight crews or put them to harm's way. Two advantages can be gained by eliminating the flight crew: 1) performance improves (range, endurance, increased payload and maneuverability, smaller physical size and lower observability) and; 2) the ability to take higher risks. UAV/RPAS/drone cyber security has largely foc…
Mapping and quantification of cryptochrome expression in the brain of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum.
2021
Aphids are paradigmatic photoperiodic animals often used to study the role of the circadian clock in the seasonal response. Previously, we described some elements of the circadian clock core (genes period and timeless) and output (melatonin, AANATs and PTTH) that could have a role in the regulation of the aphid seasonal response. More recently we identified two opsins (C-ops and SWO4) as candidate input photoperiodic receptors. In the present report, we focus on the study of cryptochromes (cry) as photoreceptors of the circadian clock and discuss their involvement in the seasonal response. We analyze the expression of cry1 and cry2 genes in a circadian and seasonal context, and map their ex…
De Bibracte à Augustodunum : permanences et évolutions des activités manufacturières de l’époque gauloise à la fin du Haut-Empire
2007
L’importance de l’artisanat autunois et son développement jusqu’au iiie siècle prennent racine à Bibracte qui a su exploiter les ressources naturelles de son environnement et parfaire un savoir-faire local ayant survécu à la conquête. Les recherches sur ces activités manufacturières menées conjointement à Bibracte et à Autun nous offrent ainsi une opportunité d’étudier ces problématiques sur la durée. À Bibracte, puis à Autun, les artisans du métal sont omniprésents, mais d’autres métiers, aux témoins plus discrets, ont pu aussi êtres identifiés. Dans le cadre de cet article, nous présentons succinctement les lieux de production et un bilan des différents corps de métier. Enfin, nous évoquo…
Bonus
2020
The article is devoted to songs and instrumentals which are referred to as bonus tracks in the area of music albums, extended plays and singles. The fi rst part concerns the lexeme bonus as a language unit of Polish, its description in dictionaries and its role in the texts about musical releases. The next part describes reasons and consequences of adding bonus tracks to albums, EPs and singles. The author proposes the preliminary typology of bonus tracks and shows a way of describing them in musical releases. In the last part the author proves that researchers of popular music can benefi t from the fact that bonus tracks are added to albums.
Propagation of Bankruptcy Risk over Scale-Free Economic Networks.
2022
The propagation of bankruptcy-induced shocks across domestic and global economies is sometimes very dramatic; this phenomenon can be modelled as a dynamical process in economic networks. Economic networks are usually scale-free, and scale-free networks are known to be vulnerable with respect to targeted attacks, i.e., attacks directed towards the biggest nodes of the network. Here we address the following question: to what extent does the scale-free nature of economic networks and the vulnerability of the biggest nodes affect the propagation of economic shocks? We model the dynamics of bankruptcies as the propagation of financial contagion across the banking sector over a scale-free network…
Emerging Economies Faced With The Downside Of Financial Globalization: Hedges And Way Outs
2009
The underlining assumption of this paper is that developing countries are in a fragile state nowadays. Economically, they have been seriously harmed by the 2008 crisis1 but this is not the end of the story: the future still has pitfalls in which these economies might get trapped, due to their enhanced vulnerability to exogenous shocks generated by financial globalization. Ideologically, the recent events have triggered a serious backlash against capitalism, particularly the Anglo-Saxon template. Getting an insight into the causes and implications of global economic crises is therefore critical for policy-makers in emerging economies. History might be a good adviser in this respect. Lessons …
