A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Educating Rita

2009

 Englanninkielisissä maissa, kuten muuallakin maailmassa, yhteiskuntaluokkaerot tulevat esiin puheessa. Englantilaiset ovat erityisen herkkiä tällaisille eroille. Tässä tutkielmassa selvitetään, kuinka luokkaerot ovat havaittavissa Willy Russellin Educating Rita näytelmän dialogin sanastossa, ja hypoteesina on, että myös näytelmän tekstissä luokkaerot ovat selvästi havaittavissa pelkästään sanaston ja rekisterin perusteella. Sosiolingvistiikan alalla on vahvistettu, että yksittäisenkin sanan tai sen ääntämyksellä voi päätellä mihin luokkaan puhuja kuuluu. On myös löydetty sanoja, jotka ovat ainoastaan tietyn luokan käytössä. On myös havaittavissa, että viime vuosikymmenten aikana luokkajaon…

Hyperbolic actions of the multiplicative group on affine varieties : exotic spaces and local structures

2015

This thesis is devoted to the study of affine T-varieties using the Altmann-Hausen presentation. We are especially interested in the case of hyperbolic actions of the multiplicative group Gm. In the first part, exotic affine spaces are studied, that is, smooth contractible affine varieties, assuming in addition that they are endowed with a Gm-action. In particular, in the case of dimension 3, we reinterpret the construction of Koras-Russell threefolds in terms of polyhedral divisors andwe give constructions of smooth contractible affine varieties and in dimensionslarger than 3.In the second part we consider the property of G-uniform rationality for a G-variety. This means that every point o…

Etude du comportement alimentaire des enfants ayant un syndrome de Silver-Russell

2014

National audience; Introduction et but de l’étude. – Le syndrome de Silver-Russell (SSR) est une maladie épigénétique rare caractérisée par un retard de croissance intra-utérin avec périmètre crânien relativement préservé, une petite taille post-natale associée à une dysmorphie et une asymétrie corporelle inconstante. Des difficultés alimentaires majeures sont souvent décrites pouvant nécessiter le recours à une nutrition entérale prolongée. À ce jour, aucune étude n’a décrit précisément les troubles du comportement alimentaire de ces enfants. Le but de notre travail était donc de caractériser les différentes composantes du comportement alimentaire d’enfants ayant un SSR. Matériel et méthod…

Fractal dimension versus density of built-up surfaces in the periphery of Brussels

2007

International audience; This paper aims at showing the usefulness of the fractal dimension for characterizing the spatial structure of the built-up surfaces within the periurban fringe. We first discuss our methodology and expectations in terms of operationality of the fractal dimension theoretically and geometrically. An empirical analysis is then performed on the southern periphery of Brussels (Brabant Wallon). The empirical analysis is divided into two parts: first, the effect of the size and shape of the windows on the fractal measures is empirically evaluated; this leads to a methodological discussion about the importance of the scale of analysis as well as the real sense of fractality…

Pulsating B and Be stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

2008

Context: Stellar pulsations in main-sequence B-type stars are driven by the kappa-mechanism due to the Fe-group opacity bump. The current models do not predict the presence of instability strips in the B spectral domain at very low metallicities. As the metallicity of the SMC is lower than Z=0.005, it constitutes a very suitable object to test these predictions. Aims: The main objective is to investigate the existence of B-type pulsators at low metallicities, searching for short-term periodic variability in absorption-line B and Be stars in the SMC. The analysis has been performed in a sample of 313 B and Be stars with fundamental astrophysical parameters accurately determined from high-res…
