Brain lateralization probed by water diffusion at the atomic to micrometric scale
2019
International audience; Combined neutron scattering and diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance experiments have been used to reveal significant interregional asymmetries (lateralization) in bovine brain hemispheres in terms of myelin arrangement and water dynamics at micron to atomic scales. Thicker myelin sheaths were found in the left hemisphere using neutron diffraction. 4.7 T dMRI and quasi-elastic neutron experiments highlighted significant differences in the properties of water dynamics in the two hemispheres. The results were interpreted in terms of hemisphere-dependent cellular composition (number of neurons, cell distribution, etc.) as well as specificity of neurological functions (s…
Characterisation of rye-grass (Lolium sp.) transcriptome-wide response to ALS-inhibiting herbicides
2014
International audience; Non-target-site-resistance (NTSR) to herbicides is a major cause for failure in the chemical control of a number of weeds, and is especially widespread and important in grass weeds. Although several gene families have been shown to be involved in NTSR (cytochromes p450, glutathione-S-transferases, glycosyl-transferases, ABC transporters, esterases…), the genetic determinants of NTSR are still poorly known to date. NTSR is part of the response of weeds to herbicides. To unravel NTSR, it is thus of interest to firstly characterise the processes involved in herbicide stress response in grasses. For this purpose, we implemented a comparative whole-transcriptome sequencin…
Present Uncertainty and Looking to the Past: The Ambiguous Literary Nationalism of Putnam’s Monthly
2023
Putnam’s Monthly (1853-1857) was one of the best literary and general interest magazines in antebellum America. Besides its high quality, what made the New York-based magazine stand out was its commitment to publishing American writers and focusing on American themes at a time when, with no reliable international copyright protection in place, many periodicals in the United States were in the habit of reprinting the works of foreign (primarily British) authors, sometimes without payment. However, despite its optimistic literary nationalism, Putnam’s Monthly expressed uncertainty about the quality of contemporary American literature and, indeed, about the capacity of American society to enco…
Défense du « Recueillement » face à l’ « Abandon » à travers le «Quatrième Abécédaire spirituel» de Francisco de Osuna (1530) : les contours de l’int…
2018
International audience; Si le XIX e est sans aucun doute le siècle de « la consécration de l'intime », pour reprendre l'expression de Françoise Simonet-Tenant 1 , le terme « intime » est lui bien antérieur. L'adjectif, du superlatif latin intimus et qui signifie « ce qu'il y a de plus intérieur », est déjà courant au XIV e dans le champ de la littérature religieuse en latin et s'étend rapidement aux langues vernaculaires pour inonder la littérature spirituelle en langue vulgaire-que ce soit en français ou en espagnol. Toutefois, pour bien comprendre la portée de l'adjectif « intimus » dans la prose religieuse, il nous faut revenir au sens que lui confère Saint Augustin lorsque, au livre III…
Quand le nom fait l’hérétique. Les mots de l’illuminisme castillan de 1525
2018
This article offers a short analysis of the different meanings and connotations of the three names given in 1525 by Toledo's Holy Office to the new Cas lian here cs-the « alumbrados », also called « dexados » and « perfects ». In order to be exhaustive, this taxinomic study of Castilian illuminism adds the name « recogidos » to this list, since those spirituals are often mentioned in the testimonies included in the trials. The comparison between the inquisitorial documents-the Toledo Edict, the minutes of the trials-and the pleas of the accused, along with some of the main contemporary spiritual books, reveals the discrepancy between the way the alumbrados called themselves and the name the…
Experience and Existence Revisited Something Essential on A Philosophical Education in Film Art
2013
Abstract The film, the living imagery, traces out its legend before the eyes of the viewer seated there in the darkened space, and in his consciousness becomes a lived spectacle, an interiorised impress of experience. It takes up its abode in him and he falls in step with its movement, merging with the stream of its narrative. In this there evolves an aesthetic-existential situation – of one, many; of one, a qualitative multiplicity is born, and with it the experienced essence of the unique, the inimitable. On this same, the critic pronounces judgement – as often as not his verdict – on this spectacle which he – and another – has beheld; that individual, original experience is thus now couc…
Innovazione in luce. Dal patrimonio archeologico all’ambiente costruito contemporaneo
2012
Il presente articolo parte dalle considerazioni finali della tesi di dottorato dell'autore e sviluppa le questioni delineate nelle conclusioni. La tesi sulla "Luce e Archeologia" evidenzia come, in molti casi, l'illuminazione possa essere considerato come materiale "immateriale altro", per aiutare la comprensione e la valorizzazione dei contesti antichi. In generale, è stato dimostrato che attraverso la combinazione di tecnologie innovative, la luce può essere usata per cambiare il mondo, per modellare le città, così come l'architettura e gli spazi in generale. Luce, materiale impalpabile, può trasformarsi in materia concreta, sia per la riconfigurazione degli ambienti interni, che per gli …
Effect of Organic Fertilizers on Avocado Trees (Cvs. Fuerte, Hass, Lamb Hass) in Western Crete, a Cool Subtropical Region
2022
The market for avocado is one of the fastest expanding worldwide, inclduing the Mediterranean basin. Organic farming systems cannot make use of synthetic fertilizers and therefore rely on several cultural techniques to maintain vigorous young trees and for quick shoot development, satisfactory yield, and fruit quality. We studied the effect of three different organic products (Terra Insecta® (Aeiphoria-Sustainable products of Crete, Chania, Greece), Fruit-Fix®, and AMINO-16® (both products manufactured by EVYP, Sindos, Thessaloniki, Greece) on avocado plants in the cool subtropical area of southern Greece. Three experiments were carried out, two of them on young avocado trees, a…
Illuminismo giuridico e idee economiche nelle opere di Cesare Beccaria e di Gaetano Filangieri
2013
Questo saggio si propone di presentare il contributo che le idee economiche hanno offerto, nel metodo e nell’analisi, alla nascita dell’Illuminismo giuridico prendendo in considerazione l’esperienza italiana rappresentata al meglio da Beccaria e da Filangieri. Partiremo da una presentazione delle relazioni epistemologiche tra il pensiero economico e la teoria del diritto nel settecento per poi proseguire con l’approfondimento degli scrittori che abbiamo sopra menzionato. Sebbene sia possibile rilevare nelle opere dell’illuminismo la trattazione di una considerevole varietà di aspetti dei fenomeni giuridici che hanno dirette ed evidenti implicazioni con la realtà economica —riguardo la propr…
