Novel plasmonic sensor design using plasmon-induced transparency
2010
We introduce a novel sensor concept in the field of plasmonics, namely plasmon-induced transparency sensors. These sensors combine localized particle plasmon resonances with extremely small sensing volume with excellent sharp spectral resonances that show a good respose to refractive index changes of the surrounding environment. The principle is based on the plasmonic analog of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) between a radiative dipole and a nonradiative quadrupole antenna. This effect yields a spectrally narrow resonance within a broad localized particle plasmon resonance in the near-infrared spectral region [1, 2]. Using deposition of biotin and streptavidin, we demonstrate…
Education, intériorisation de la méritocratie et perception des frontières entre groupes sociaux
2006
La présente recherche (qui s'achèvera en 2007-2008) envisage une manière de tester empiriquement la thèse de la reproduction de Bourdieu et Passeron en explorant la perception de la légitimité des inégalités scolaires et de leurs incidences sociales, chez des individus inégalement formés. Elle entend ainsi explorer les relations entre trajectoire scolaire (niveau atteint, mais aussi filière de formation suivie) et intériorisation de la méritocratie et plus largement le jugement sur les inégalités existantes.
Mayors, Using Cultural Expenditure in An Opportunistic Way Improves the Chances of Re-Election, but Do Not Do It: Revisiting Political Budget Cycles
2020
This article analyzes whether expenditure on the provision of merit goods, culture, health, education, and sports, by local governments, in medium-sized cities (between 20,000 and 100,000 inhabitants) is tied to the electoral cycle

La funzione tecnica e il mestiere dell'artigiano nella Grecia antica tra merito e responsabilità. Una rassegna critica
2017
This paper is a critical essay on the social value of craftsmen in ancient Greece as well of the merit and ethic responsibility connected to the social use of their skills and forms of knowledge, the so-called technai. On one hand a low grade of social consideration was attributed to craftsmen, especially among the upper classes in the Greek cities; on the other hand, craft and technical skills were an essential medium for all the material products and commodities to be supplied for the citizens. The origins of this ambiguous relationship between society and technical skills seem to lie in the particular social and political conditions of Greek craftsmen, mostly foreign people at the dispos…

Incertitudes et effets pervers de l'inflation scolaire
2006
06044http://ep.inrp.fr/EP/colloques/colloque_repenser_justice/communication_marie_duru_bellat/view; La méritocratie s'impose comme la seule voie à la fois juste et efficace de répartir les places (inégales) dans les sociétés démocratiques. Dès lors que la méritocratie fait l'objet d'une forte valorisation, et qu'on place toute confiance en l'école pour la faire advenir, tout développement de l'éducation ne peut aller que dans le sens du progrès : C'est un vecteur de réduction des inégalités sociales et d'accroissement de la mobilité sociale, les effets économiques et sociaux plus généraux en sont forcément positifs. Est-ce si sûr ? Sans balayer ici toutes ces questions, on pointera quelques…
Gradus dignitatis (Cic. rep. I 27, 43). Merito e metro di valutazione dell’optimus status civitatis
2017
Starting from the review of the expression gradus dignitatis, used by Cicero in rep. I 27, 43, by means of a specific semantic-etymological investigation of the lemma dignitas and by comparing the different translations of this couple of words in the main modern languages, the paper attempts to reconstruct the position held by Cicero about the choice of magistratures within the optimus status civitatis. A position of highly meritocratic mark and in open polemic against the principle, promoted by the supporters of democratic regimes, of aequitas / aequabilitas in covering official positions, in a dialectical relationship with Plato and Aristotle. In the background of the specific debate open…
A comparison among different kinds of stator lamination in tubular linear machines
2016
In this paper the authors perform a comparison among three different stator structures for a Tubular Permanent Magnet Linear Machine. Each structure is characterized by its own lamination which is expected to contribute to the overall performance of the machine. A detailed analysis of the main figures of merit of the three configurations has been carried out in order to identify the configuration with the best characteristics. Significant data such as flux distribution, rated voltage and current, force on the moved and power losses have been compared. The results show that the choice of a mixed stator lamination allows to improve the performance of these machines.
Peak deconvolution in one-dimensional chromatography using a two-way data approach.
2002
A deconvolution methodology for overlapped chromatographic signals is proposed. Several single-wavelength chromatograms of binary mixtures, obtained in different runs at diverse concentration ratios of the individual components, were simultaneously processed (multi-batch approach), after being arranged as two-way data. The chromatograms were modelled as linear combinations of forced peak profiles according to a polynomially modified Gaussian equation. The fitting was performed with a previously reported hybrid genetic algorithm with local search, leaving all model parameters free. The approach yielded more accurate solutions than those found when each experimental chromatogram was fitted in…
