A CASE OF A PRESACRAL MYELOLIPOMA: IMAGING FINDINGS AND DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS CHECKLIST OF OTHER PRESACRAL MASSES
2013
PURPOSE: There have been many reports describing adrenal myelolipoma but there have been only few reports of extraadrenal myelolipoma. We describe a case of an elderly woman with lower back pain due to age-related spondyloarthrosis and mild discopathy with a presacral myelolipoma as incidental finding. We also discuss about common and uncommon imaging findings of other presacral masses. METHODS: A 74 years-old woman came to our observation to perform an MRI of the lumbar spine for typical lumbar back pain. MR imaging revealed, in addition to the signs of mild scoliosis and spondylo-disc-arthrosis, a presacral mass showing heterogeneously high signal in all sequences and almost completely su…
Presacral Myelolipoma
2014
Many reports have described adrenal myelolipomas but there have been only a few reports of extra-adrenal myelolipomas. We describe a 74-year-old woman who came to our observa- tion for MRI of the lumbar spine for typical lumbar back pain. In addition to signs of mild scoliosis and spondylo disc arthrosis, MR imaging revealed a presacral mass showing a heterogeneously high signal in all pulse sequences and almost completely suppressed on inversion recovery sequences for fat tissue. CT imaging confirmed the fatty nature of the lesion and no signs of bone involvement. These findings were most consistent with a diagnosis of a rare presacral myelolipoma as confirmed at histopathologic analysis. …

Les contradictions de l'université de masse dix ans après (1973-1983)
1984
Jean-Pierre Jarousse : Die Widersprüche der Massenuniversität zehn Jahre später (1973-1983). Das von L. Lévy-Garboua vorgestellte Auswahlmodell zur Erklärung der Verschlechterung, die in der französischen Universität im Verlauf der siebziger Jahre empfunden wurde, sowie der scheinbare Widerstand zur Verminderung der Hochschulnachfrage, zeigte, dass die vom Student durchgeführte Kontrolle über seine Studienzeit diesem gestattete, die Universität zu besuchen ohne jedoch hieraus grössere künftige Vorteile zu erwarten. Unter Berücksichtigung der respektiven Entwicklung der Berufssituation der Abiturienten und der Hochschuldiplomierten, behaupten andere Verfasser im Gegenteil, dass der Universit…
Cosmic microwave background constraints on secret interactions among sterile neutrinos
2017
Secret contact interactions among eV sterile neutrinos, mediated by a massive gauge boson $X$ (with $M_X \ll M_W$), and characterized by a gauge coupling $g_X$, have been proposed as a mean to reconcile cosmological observations and short-baseline laboratory anomalies. We constrain this scenario using the latest Planck data on Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies, and measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). We consistently include the effect of secret interactions on cosmological perturbations, namely the increased density and pressure fluctuations in the neutrino fluid, and still find a severe tension between the secret interaction framework and cosmology. In fact, taking i…
A Simple Fusion Method for Image Time Series Based on the Estimation of Image Temporal Validity
2015
High-spatial-resolution satellites usually have the constraint of a low temporal frequency, which leads to long periods without information in cloudy areas. Furthermore, low-spatial-resolution satellites have higher revisit cycles. Combining information from high- and low- spatial-resolution satellites is thought a key factor for studies that require dense time series of high-resolution images, e.g., crop monitoring. There are several fusion methods in the bibliography, but they are time-consuming and complicated to implement. Moreover, the local evaluation of the fused images is rarely analyzed. In this paper, we present a simple and fast fusion method based on a weighted average of two in…
Precise measurement of the top quark mass in dilepton decays using optimized neutrino weighting
2016
We measure the top quark mass in dilepton final states of top-antitop events in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.7 fb^-1 at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The analysis features a comprehensive optimization of the neutrino weighting method to minimize the statistical uncertainties. We also improve the calibration of jet energies using the calibration determined in top-antitop to lepton+jets events, which reduces the otherwise limiting systematic uncertainty from the jet energy scale. The measured top quark mass is mt = 173.32 +/- 1.36(stat) +/- 0.85(syst) GeV.
Total absorption spectroscopy of fission fragments relevant for reactor antineutrino spectra
2016
International audience; The accurate determination of reactor antineutrino spectra remains a very active research topic for which new methods of study have emerged in recent years. Indeed, following the long-recognized reactor anomaly (measured antineutrino deficit in short baseline reactor experiments when compared with spectral predictions), the three international reactor neutrino experiments Double Chooz, Daya Bay and Reno have recently demonstrated the existence of spectral distortions in their measurements with respect to the same predictions. These spectral predictions were obtained through the conversion of integral beta-energy spectra obtained at the ILL research reactor. Several s…
La música clàssica contemporània: una perspectiva sociomusicològica
2017
La tesi doctoral "La música clàssica contemporània: una perspectiva sociomusicològica" combina, en les seues pàgines, el desenvolupament d’una investigació sociològica amb un seguit de reflexions teòriques i epistemològiques. El seu autor, Xavier Mas i Sempere, aborda consecutivament la música clàssica contemporània, les divisions i les definicions de la música i el boirós espai entre la ciència, l’objectivitat i la veritat. Tot plegat, per acabar responent la pregunta que obri la investigació: quina és la presència i el tractament de la música clàssica contemporània a l’estat espanyol. Els primers capítols serveixen per explicitar l’epistemologia del treball, els objectius de la tesi i la …
