Late Pleistocene (MIS 3-4) climate inferred from micromammal communities and δ18O of rodents from Les Pradelles, France.
2013
The middle Paleolithic stratigraphic sequence of Les Pradelles (Charente, France) spans from the end of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 4 until the middle of MIS 3. Micromammal remains are present in all the stratigraphic levels, offering a rare opportunity to address the questions of both environmental and climatic fluctuations throughout this period. Climate modes were studied through the taphonomy, biodiversity and oxygen isotope compositions of phosphate (δ18O p ) from 66 samples of rodent tooth enamel. The δ18O p values from the lower sedimentary levels provide summer mean air temperatures of 19 ± 2°C (level 2/1) and of 16 ± 2°C (levels 2A, 2B and 4A). Within the middle of sequence (level 4…
Exploring the challenges of remote work on Twitter users’ sentiments: From digital technology development to a post-pandemic era
2022
The boost in the use and development of technology, spurred by COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, has sped up the adoption of new technologies and digital platforms in companies. Specifically, companies have been forced to change their organizational and work structures. In this context, the present study aims to identify the main opportunities and challenges for remote work through the use of digital technologies and platforms based on the analysis of user-generated content (UGC) in Twitter. Using computer-aided text analysis (CATA) and natural language processing (NLP), in this study, we conduct a sentiment analysis developed with Textblob, which works with machine learning. We then …
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…
A multi-technique characterisation of cronstedtite synthetized by iron-clay interaction in a step by step cooling procedure
2013
International audience; The cooling of steel containers in radioactive-waste storage was simulated in a step-by-step experiment from 90 to 40 degrees C. Among newly formed clay minerals observed in run products, cronstedtite was identified by a number of analytical techniques (powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy). Cronstedtite has not previously been recognized to be so abundant and so well crystallized in an iron-clay interaction experiment. The supersaturation of experimental solutions with respect to cronstedtite was due to the availability of Fe and Si in solution, as a result of the dissolution of iron metal powder, quartz, and m…
Detection of Irradiated Food and Evaluation of the Given Dose by Electron Spin Resonance, Thermoluminescence, and Gas Chromatographic/Mass Spectromet…
2018
Abstract The treatment of food with ionizing radiation, at doses lower than 10 kGy, is a preservation technology, which can be used to reduce food spoilage due to microorganisms and to decrease insect infestation, enhancing, in the same time, the hygienic quality, extending the shelf life of food itself. In order to increase the general consumer acceptance and accordingly to facilitate the commercialization and trade of irradiated food, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) validated reliable analytical techniques to identify irradiated foodstuffs for legal control purposes, distinguished in Chemical, Physical, and Microbiological ones, depending on the characteristics of marker …
Cell and tissue response to nanotextured Ti6Al4V and Zr implants using high-speed femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures
2019
In this paper, the effect of femtosecond laser nanotexturing of surfaces of Ti6Al4V and Zr implants on their biological compatibility is presented and discussed. Highly regular and homogeneous nanostructures with sub-micrometer period were imprinted on implant surfaces. Surfaces were morphologically and chemically investigated by SEM and XPS. HDFa cell lines were used for toxicity and cell viability tests, and subcutaneous implantation was applied to characterize tissue response. HDFa proliferation and in vivo experiments evidenced the strong influence of the surface topography compared to the effect of the surface elemental composition (metal or alloy). The effect of protein adsorption fro…
Sejas un žokļu traumas Paula Stradiņa Klīniskajā Universitātes slimnīcā
2020
Sejas un žokļu traumu ietekme uz hospitalizācijas ilgumu un neiroloģisko simptomātiku Paula Stradiņā Klīniskajā Universitātes slimnīcā. Viena no plašākajām traumu kategorijām, kas tieši pieder pie jebkuras valsts galvenajām sociālekonomiskajām problēmām un skar visus pasaules iedzīvotāju slāņus, un ir galvaskausa, sejas un apakšžokļu traumas. Sejas traumas ir bieži izplatītas, jo seja ir visatklātākā un neaizsargātākā ķermeņa daļa ar nelielu aizsargpārklājumu. Mutes dobuma un augšžokļa sejas traumas, papildus sejas estētikai, ietekmē tādas funkcijas kā elpošana, košļāšanas, rīšanas un runas funkcijas. Darba mērķi: noskaidrot FISS skalas ietekmi uz pareģojošo pacientu hospitalizācijas ilgumu…
Bayesian calibration of the nitrous oxide emission module of an agro-ecosystem model
2008
1. NitroEurope Open Science Conference on Reactive Nitrogen and the European Greenhouse Gas Balance ; Ghent (Belgique) - (2008-02-20 - 2008-02-21) / Conférence; Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the main biogenic greenhouse gas contributing to the global warming potential (GWP) of agro-ecosystems. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on climate therefore requires a capacity to predict N2O emissions in relation to environmental conditions and crop management. Biophysical models simulating the dynamics of carbon and nitrogen in agro-ecosystems have a unique potential to explore these relationships, but are fraught with high uncertainties in their parameters due to their variations over time and space. H…
