L’intériorisation de l’espace: le désert chez Fromentin et Saint-Exupéry
2009
Cette étude se propose de tracer un parcours à travers l’analyse d’un désert mental et littéraire, réel et intériorisé. Il s’agit de comprendre une modalité de perception de l’espace du désert à travers l’expression artistique, notamment l’écriture de deux écrivains tels que E. Fromentin et A. de Saint- Exupéry. Premièrement nous allons aborder la question de la perception du désert en tant que paysage et par conséquent sa cristallisation en images transformant la réalité géographique des lieux. Le désert sera donc analysé en relation à la culture occidentale en tant que son même contrepoint ou bien en tant que terme de référence pour la définition de l’identité collective. Ensuite on abord…
Mathematics Competence Level: The Contribution of Non-symbolic and Spatial Magnitude Comparison Skills.
2019
Magnitude comparison skills have been related to mathematics competence, although results in this area vary. The current study aimed to describe the performance of 75 children (aged 4-5 years) in two comparison tasks; and examine the strength of the relationship between each of the two tasks and mathematics competence level (MCL). Participants were assessed with the Early Numeracy Test which provides a global MCL score. Magnitude comparison skills were assessed with two tasks: a non-symbolic number comparison task and a spatial comparison task. Results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed a relationship between the two tasks with better performance in the spatial comparison task. Regr…
L’appréhension de l’inceste non-consenti par le droit pénal. Réflexions comparatistes sur l’usage du mot inceste en droit pénal
2023
Les infractions sexuelles visant des personnes vulnérables soulèvent deux types de problème. D’abord, celle de l’appréhension du consentement à une relation sexuelle pour les personnes au-dessus de l’âge de la majorité sexuelle. Ensuite, celle de l’effet psychologique que de telles infractions peuvent avoir sur les victimes et qui justifient une modulation du régime de prescription. Au sein de ces débats, certaines spécificités ressortent s’agissant des relations intra-familiales non consenties. L’appréhension du consentement sexuel peut en effet être rendue compliquée par de telles relations. De même, l’effet psychologique de l’inceste pourrait en théorie justifier certaines normes dérogat…
Effect of Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Surface Chemistry and Morphology on Titanium Hexafluoride Pretreatment
2017
Titanium hexafluoride pretreatments are known to improve paint adhesion and function as a barrier between the coating and the hot dip galvanized (HDG) steel surface. Interactions at the zinc/pretreatment interface are of utmost importance for the formation of pretreatment layers and the corrosion resistance of color coated hot dip galvanized steels. Removal rate of inert aluminum oxide from HDG steel samples by chemical dissolution was studied. XPS measurements showed that the surface Al2O3 layer thickness decreased rapidly already at mild alkaline cleaning, while complete removal of Al required severe etching. Low reactivity of an Al2O3-rich surface was confirmed by impaired formation of a…
Existence of positive solutions for nonlinear Dirichlet problems with gradient dependence and arbitrary growth
2018
We consider a nonlinear elliptic problem driven by the Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian and a reaction term which depends also on the gradient (convection). No growth condition is imposed on the reaction term $f(z, \cdot,y)$. Using topological tools and the asymptotic analysis of a family of perturbed problems, we prove the existence of a positive smooth solution.
Guessing Meaning From Word Sounds of Unfamiliar Languages: A Cross-Cultural Sound Symbolism Study
2019
Sound symbolism refers to a non-arbitrary relationship between the sound of a word and its meaning. With the aim to better investigate this relationship by using natural languages, in the present cross-linguistic study 215 Italian and Polish participants were asked to listen to words pronounced in 4 unknown non-indo-European languages (Finnish, Japanese, Swahili, Tamil) and to try to guess the correct meaning of each word, by choosing among 3 alternatives visualized on a computer screen. The alternatives were presented in the mother tongue of participants. Three different word categories were presented: nouns, verbs and adjectives. A first overall analysis confirmed a semantic role of sound…

Crystal structure of the pyridine–diiodine (1/1) adduct
2015
In the title adduct, C5H5N·I2, the N—I distance [2.424 (8) Å] is remarkably shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii. The line through the I atoms forms an angle of 78.39 (16)° with the normal to the pyridine ring.
Correspondence between generalized binomial field states and coherent atomic states
2008
We show that the N-photon generalized binomial states of electromagnetic field may be put in a bijective mapping with the coherent atomic states of N two-level atoms. We exploit this correspondence to simply obtain both known and new properties of the N-photon generalized binomial states. In particular, an over-complete basis of these binomial states and an orthonormal basis are obtained. Finally, the squeezing properties of generalized binomial state are analyzed.
Highly occupied gauge theories in 2 + 1 dimensions : a self-similar attractor
2019
Motivated by the boost-invariant Glasma state in the initial stages in heavy-ion collisions, we perform classical-statistical simulations of SU(2) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensional space-time both with and without a scalar field in the adjoint representation. We show that irrespective of the details of the initial condition, the far-from-equilibrium evolution of these highly occupied systems approaches a unique universal attractor at high momenta that is the same for the gauge and scalar sectors. We extract the scaling exponents and the form of the distribution function close to this non-thermal fixed point. We find that the dynamics are governed by an energy cascade to higher momenta with sc…
