Contribution de l’analyse de scène auditive à l’analyse de la performance
2017
Disponible sur : http://euromac2017.unistra.fr/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Ext.-Lalitte-Philippe.pdf. Intervention donnée en Session 13C : Analyser la performance aujourd'hui : enjeux et perspectives; International audience; L’analyse de la performance de musiques savantes écrites des XXe–XXIe siècles pose des problèmes méthodologiques spécifiques à ce répertoire (Lalitte, 2015). Plus que dans un autre répertoire, l’interprète a un rôle particulièrement important pour transmettre à l’auditeur une image auditive (McAdams, 1984) la plus cohérente possible d’œuvres fréquemment qualifiées de perceptivement complexes. Cette constatation est particulièrement cruciale dans la musique polyphonique o…
Statistical methods for the comparison of measurements derived from orthodontic imaging
2000
Biometric comparison procedures for dental imaging methods with continuous outcome were reviewed, mainly concentrating on assessment and comparison of accuracy and precision according to the study design. Univariate graphical and numerical representations of corresponding deviations were summarized to derive a 'check list' of minimum information necessary to compare the measurement methods. The methods reviewed in this investigation are illustrated by the comparison of conventional (radiographic) cephalometry versus assessment using the DigiGraph in 50 female children. A paired t-test and the corresponding confidence interval approach were used to assess deviations in location of two imagin…
Quantitative colorimetric analysis of some inorganic salts using digital photography
2011
An analytical imaging approach to the quantitation of dissolved chemical species absorbed in the visible spectral region is reported. The approach uses digital images of a series of standard solutions of the target substance and their processing with appropriate software to assign a numeric value to each standard in terms of color intensity. Such a value is directly proportional to the analyte concentration and allows the construction of a calibration graph. The results thus obtained are compared with those provided by the classical spectrophotometricmethod used to run calibration curves for colored substances. The chemical imaging technique is relative simple and affordable; in fact, it ca…
A Paradigm Interpreting the City and the Analytic Network Process for the Management of Urban Transformations
2018
When urban and environmental transformations occur in areas where the equilibrium between nature and culture is complex and fragile, public ad-ministrations could decide to induce private investments using several tools, such as financial contributions to those projects of refurbishment that better re-spect the purpose of improving the environmental quality and of preserving the local architecture. Multicriteria models may support public decision process re-garding this issue, but it is essential to adopt a scientific paradigm that provides a major theoretical reference. This study proposes the development of a net-work model based on the scientific paradigm by Rizzo and the Analytic Net-wo…
IL-21 Regulates the Differentiation of a Human γδ T Cell Subset Equipped with B Cell Helper Activity
2012
Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes recognize nonpeptidic antigens without presentation by MHC molecules and display pleiotropic features. Here we report that coculture of Vγ9Vδ2 cells with phosphoantigen and IL-21 leads to selective expression of the transcription repressor Bcl-6 and polarization toward a lymphocyte subset displaying features of follicular B-helper T (T(FH)) cells. T(FH) like Vγ9Vδ2 cells have a predominant central memory (CD27(+)CD45RA(-)) phenotype and express ICOS, CD40L and CXCR5. Upon antigen activation, they secrete IL-4, IL-10 and CXCL13, and provide B-cell help for antibody production in vitro. Our findings delineate a subset of human Vγ9Vδ2 lymphocytes, which, upon interaction w…
Ancestral Reconstruction and Investigations of Genomic Recombination on some Pentapetalae Chloroplasts
2019
Abstract In this article, we propose a semi-automated method to rebuild genome ancestors of chloroplasts by taking into account gene duplication. Two methods have been used in order to achieve this work: a naked eye investigation using homemade scripts, whose results are considered as a basis of knowledge, and a dynamic programming based approach similar to Needleman-Wunsch. The latter fundamentally uses the Gestalt pattern matching method of sequence matcher to evaluate the occurrences probability of each gene in the last common ancestor of two given genomes. The two approaches have been applied on chloroplastic genomes from Apiales, Asterales, and Fabids orders, the latter belonging to Pe…
A method for the surface reflectance retrieval from PROBA/CHRIS data over land: application to ESA SPARC campaigns
2005
The Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS) onboard the Project for On-Board Autonomy (PROBA) platform system provides the first high spatial resolution hyper-spectral/multiangular remote sensing data from a satellite system, what represents a new source of information for Earth Observation purposes. A fully consistent radiative transfer approach is always preferred when dealing with the retrieval of surface reflectance from hyperspectral/multiangular data. However, due to the reported calibration anomalies for CHRIS data, a direct atmospheric correction based on physical radiative transfer modeling is not possible, and the method must somehow compensate for such calibration pr…
Diagnostik der akuten Lungenembolie mittels Spiral-CT und 3D-Rekonstruktion
2001
Ziel: Die Entwicklung von Modellen zur Evaluierung der Spiral-CT und 3D-Rekonstruktion im Nachweis der akuten Lungenembolie (LE) im Ex-vivo-Experiment. Material und Methoden: Standardisierte kunstliche Emboli definierter Grose und Geometrie wurden in Schweinelungen eingebracht. Ausgusse der embolisierten Gefasbaume mit rontgenkontrastgebendem Kunstharz simulierten das CT-morphologische Vollbild einer Lungenembolie. Die Bilddaten wurden dreidimensional rekonstruiert und die Exaktheit der detektierten Emboluslokalisation durch Korrelation mit dem Originalpraparat verifiziert. Messungen an technischen Probekorpern mit eingeschlossenen Emboli definierter Grose sollten die Messgenauigkeit der ko…
Is the selective information processing of food and body words specific to patients with eating disorders?
1993
The selective processing of food- and body size-related information was investigated using a modified version of the Stroop task. Anorexic and bulimic patients and matched female controls were compared on the basis of categorical (diagnosis), dimensional (restraint and drive for thinness) criteria, or both. The findings suggest that the phenomenon assessed by the Stroop paradigm is not exclusive to patients with a clinical eating disorder, but patients and those control subjects who are restrained eaters with a high drive for thinness share a selective processing of information related to shape and eating. The discussion focuses on the implications of these findings. © 1993 by lohn Wiley & …
An environment based approach for the ant colony convergence
2020
Abstract Ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms are a bio inspired solutions which have been very successful in combinatorial problem solving, also known as NP-hard problems, including transportation system optimization. As opposed to exact methods, which could give the best results of a tested problem, this meta-heuristics is based on the stochastic logic but not on theoretical mathematics demonstration (or only on certain well defined applications). According to this, the weak point of this meta-heuristics is his convergence, its termination condition. We can finds many different termination criteria in the scientific literature, yet most of them are costly in resources and unsuitable f…
