Organisational learning capability, product innovation performance and export intensity
2012
The hypothesis that managerial characteristics which facilitate the organisational learning process can provide firms with a basis for competitive advantage has received a great deal of attention. While there is evidence that organisational learning affects export intensity, we argue that intermediate variables, such as innovation, should be used in order to evaluate its impact in organisations. This study shows that firms with a higher organisational learning capability tend to be more innovative, and for this reason, they are more likely to export a higher share of their production. From a longitudinal perspective, we use structural equation modeling on a database from Italian and Spanish…
"Table 1" of "J/psi polarization in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV"

$\lambda_\theta$ as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ for inclusive J/$\psi$, measured in the helicity reference frame.
Early and midterm outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds for ostial coronary lesions: insights from the GHOST-EU registry.
2016
Aims: We aimed to investigate the outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in coronary ostial lesions. Ostial lesions represent a challenging angiographic subset, with higher event rates compared with non-ostial lesions. BVS might be associated with advantages over the long term, but their safety in this setting remains to be explored. Methods and results: Procedural and 12-month follow-up data from consecutive patients treated with BVS for lesions located at the ostium of the right (RCA), left anterior (LAD) or circumflex (LCX) coronary in 11 European centres were collected. The primary device-oriented endpoint was defined as a combination of cardiovascular death, target vessel m…
European traditional tomatoes galore: a result of farmers' selection of a few diversity-rich loci
2022
A comprehensive collection of 1254 tomato accessions, corresponding to European traditional and modern varieties, early domesticated varieties, and wild relatives, was analyzed by genotyping by sequencing. A continuous genetic gradient between the traditional and modern varieties was observed. European traditional tomatoes displayed very low genetic diversity, with only 298 polymorphic loci (95% threshold) out of 64 943 total variants. European traditional tomatoes could be classified into several genetic groups. Two main clusters consisting of Spanish and Italian accessions showed higher genetic diversity than the remaining varieties, suggesting that these regions might be independent seco…
Quantification des Brettanomyces par qPCR
2017
International audience; Brettanomyces bruxellensis est une levure d’altération du vin avec de faibles besoins nutritionnels, résistante à l’éthanol et aux faibles pH, lui permettant une implantation en vin durant ou après la fermentation alcoolique (Conterno et al., 2006). B. bruxellensis est capable de produire des phénols volatils (éthyl-4-phénol, éthyl-4-gaïacol et éthyl-4-catéchol) (Oelofse et al., 2008). Ces molécules volatiles odorantes amènent un caractère phénolé et animal au vin connu sous le nom de « caractère Brett ». D’autres molécules (2-acétyltétrahydropyridine et 2-éthyltétrahydropyridine) produites par B. bruxellensis sont également responsables d’une déviation organoleptiqu…
Quantitative analysis of oat by Infrared spectroscopy
1999
Oat products as a source of soluble dietary fibre have shown to exhibit distinct hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycaemic effects in humans and recently have become a key focus of the nutrition and medical communities. Interest in assaying the contents of (1→3), (1→4)-β-D-ghican, referred to hereafter as β-glucan, in barley, malt and oat has been increasing because of its nutritional and technological importance [1].
Créativité et expressivité: le cas des "diminutifs" espagnols.
2022
Toute unité lexicale peut être considérée comme subjective, puisque les langues ne font jamais que contraindre l’individu à certains modes d’interprétations lors de sa production discursive. Mais cette subjectivité langagière collective n’est pas la subjectivité individuelle dont fait preuve l’énonciateur procédant à une création lexicale. Dans le cadre de la langue espagnole, il est un cas de dérivation d’une grande productivité : la formation diminutive. La richesse de celle-ci s’observe à ...
The Method of Fundamental Solutions in Solving Coupled Boundary Value Problems for M/EEG
2015
The estimation of neuronal activity in the human brain from electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals is a typical inverse problem whose solution pro- cess requires an accurate and fast forward solver. In this paper the method of fundamental solutions is, for the first time, proposed as a meshfree, boundary-type, and easy-to-implement alternative to the boundary element method (BEM) for solving the M/EEG forward problem. The solution of the forward problem is obtained by numerically solving a set of coupled boundary value problems for the three-dimensional Laplace equation. Numerical accuracy, convergence, and computational load are investigated. The proposed met…
Corneal thickness differences between type 2 diabetes and non-diabetes subjects during preoperative laser surgery examination
2016
Aims To evaluate the differences in corneal thickness between type 2 diabetes subjects with HbA1c under 7.0% and non-diabetes subjects during their preoperative laser surgery examinations. Methods The mean of five consecutive corneal thickness measurements at the central and mid-peripheral cornea was obtained by means of noncontact scanning-slit corneal topography (Orbscan Topography System II; Orbscan, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, USA) in 35 myopic non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes subjects (17 males and 18 females) and 48 healthy myopic controls (23 males and 25 females). Results The corneal thickness values at the central and mid-peripheral cornea were significantly higher in the diabet…
Statistical Thermodynamics of Polymer Quantum Systems
2011
Polymer quantum systems are mechanical models quantized similarly as loop quantum gravity. It is actually in quantizing gravity that the polymer term holds proper as the quantum geometry excitations yield a reminiscent of a polymer material. In such an approach both non-singular cosmological models and a microscopic basis for the entropy of some black holes have arisen. Also important physical questions for these systems involve thermodynamics. With this motivation, in this work, we study the statistical thermody- namics of two one dimensional polymer quantum systems: an ensemble of oscillators that describe a solid and a bunch of non-interacting particles in a box, which thus form an ideal…
