Where Alonso meets Sierpinski: an urban economic model of a fractal metropolitan area
2004
International audience; La coexistence d'activités résidentielles et agricoles dans des ceintures périurbaines caractérise de nombreuses aires métropolitaines modernes. Malheureusement, peu de modèles théoriques de l'économie urbaine prennent en compte ce type de mixité spatiale. L'article contribue à combler cette lacune : les auteurs présentent un modèle de localisation résidentielle (standard en économie urbaine) opérant dans un espace structuré par la géométrie spatiale. Plus précisément, d'un côté, un tapis de Sierpinski est utilisé pour rendre compte de l'organisation hiérarchisée de sites urbains et ruraux dans une aire métropolitaine. D'un autre côté, un ménage maximise, sous contra…
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.

Ah, Benjamin, vous avez dévasté ma vie : amour et passion dans le couple Staël-Constant
2019
International audience; « Pas un seul jour ne s’est écoulé depuis dix ans sans que mon cœur ait souffert par vous, et pourtant je vous ai tant aimé », écrit Germaine de Staël à Benjamin Constant le 8 janvier 1814. Ce mélange d’amour et de douleur, s’il caractérise toute passion, revêt une importance particulière dans les relations tourmentées qui unirent les deux amants. Leur correspondance révèle en effet un troublant entrelacs de plaisir et de souffrance, comme si le besoin de l’autre répondait, étrangement, à des pulsions négatives qui mêlent à l’amour, le dégoût de soi ou la recherche de la blessure. Comment dès lors réexplorer l’histoire de ce célèbre couple ? Cette conférence s’intére…
Photocatalytic oxidation of acetonitrile in gas–solid and liquid–solid regimes
2005
Il programma NON mi ha consentito di scaricare il PDF di questo articolo. Se lo volete ditemi come inviarlo ABSTRACT Photocatalytic degradation of acetonitrile was carried out in both gas–solid and liquid–solid regimes using two commercial TiO2 catalysts (Merck and Degussa P25). For the gas–solid regime, a continuous annular photoreactor was used. The influence on photodegradation kinetics of the gas flow rate and concentrations of acetonitrile, oxygen, and water was investigated. Acetonitrile degradation products detected in the gas phase included carbon dioxide and hydrogen cyanide. The same photoactivity was exhibited in the presence and in the absence of water vapour. The liquid–solid reg…

Nuovi dati sulla catacomba di Sabratha (Libia)
2016
La ricerca è stata condotta in collaborazione con Giuseppina Cipriano per la parte archeologica e Francesco Scirè per il rilievo topografico e diretto, nell’ambito del Progetto PRIN 2008 dal titolo: Pagani e cristiani a Sabratha e Leptis Magna tra III e VI secolo d.C. Monumenti e reperti, tradizione e immagini, coordinato da Rosa Maria Carra.La catacomba di Sabratha è uno dei pochi esempi di cimitero comunitario cristiano finora noti nell’Africa Romana. L’ingresso, lungo il tracciato del decumano minore proveniente dal complesso episcopale della Regio III, si trova a pochi metri dall’attuale linea di costa, a metà strada fra il grande santuario suburbano di Iside e l’Anfiteatro e nei pressi…
Systematic approach to β and 2vββ decays of mass A=100-136 nuclei
2015
In this work we perform a systematic study of pairs of single-β-decaying nuclei in the mass region A = 100–136 to extract information on the effective value of the axial-vector coupling constant gA. As the many-body framework we use the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) and its proton-neutron variant (pnQRPA) in singleparticle valence bases with Woods-Saxon-calculated single-particle energies. It is found that, to a reasonable approximation, gA is a linear function of the mass number A, with a slightly different parametrization below and above the mass A = 121. Using the values of gA extracted from the linear fit, as well as an average constant value of gA, we calculate the tw…
The solubilization site of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-porphyrin-Mn(III) in DPPC vesicles: A spectrophotometric and tensiometric study
2006
The solubilization site of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-porphyrin-Mn(III) (MnTDPPC) in (L)-alpha-dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (DPPC) vesicles was determined in a systematic UV-vis spectrophotometric study. Measurements of the MnTDPPC absorbance have been conducted at constant temperatures (in the interval 30 degrees C <= T <= 48 degrees C) and varying concentrations of phospholipid. In the entire temperature range, the absorption due to MnTDCCP was found to increase with increasing DPPC concentration, until it reaches a plateau value. The data have been analyzed using a pseudo-phase model yielding the binding constant of MnTDCPP to vesicular aggregates. No significant tempera…
Über ein verfahren zur exakten bestimmung der sedimentationskonstanten ungereinigter enzyme mit hilfe des aktivitätstestes. versuche an den glukosede…
1960
In einer normalen Ultrazentrifugenzelle wird ein Bodenbelag aus Filtrierpapier angebracht, in welchen das Enzym hineinsedimentiert. Aus dem Aktivitatsverlust oberhalb des Bodenbelags wird die Sedimentationskonstante berechnet. Durchfuhrung und Auswertung der Versuche werden zu einer Routinemethode ausgearbeitet. Die Methode wird dazu benutzt, die Sedimentationskonstanten der beiden Glukosedehydrogenasen aus Penicillium notatum bzw. Aspergillus niger zu bestimmen. Es ergibt sich 7,91 bzw. 8,81 SVEDBERG. Die nach dem fruher beschriebenen Aktivitatstest bestimmten Diffusionskonstanten sind 5,56 bzw. 4,47 · 10−7 cm2·sec−1. Daraus ergeben sich die Molekulargewichte 138 000 bzw. 192000 und die Re…
Thermal Degradation of Green Asparagus Texture
2019
A cutting cell was developed to evaluate the texture of green asparagus by measuring its resistance to being cut with a wire. The cell was used in conjunction with a universal texturometer and improved on the single-point method of the Wilder fibrometer. Experimental conditions were determined for using the cell to measure the cutting resistance of asparagus subjected to different extents of heat treatment. Better discrimination between samples was obtained than with a Kramer cell. The fresh asparagus spears. were heated at temperatures between 70 and 100°C for different lengths of time and the kinetics of the degradation of texture was studied. A biphasic (two-component) behavior was obser…
