Development of acoustic devices functionalized with cobalt corroles or metalloporphyrines for the detection of carbon monoxide at low concentration

2012

International audience; Progresses in synthetic chemistry methodologies has pushed to develop a large variety of artificial receptors of particular interest for chemical sensor applications. We investigate here the behavior of gas sensors based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The use of Love waves that are specially sensitive to surface perturbation enables to exploit the molecular recognition processes occurring in non conductive sensing layers of cobalt corroies [5,10,15-Tris(2,6-dichlorophenyl)corrolato]cobalt(III)] for CO detection. We have monitored phase variations of Love-wave-based delay lines under various operation conditions and studied the detection efficiency of a diffe…

L’amour aux temps d’Internet : raison et émotion dans la recherche de partenaire en ligne des Chiliens

2017

This study analyzes the pages of online dating, more specifically, the interpretation that Chilean surfers perform these virtual spaces; interactions that occur within these web portals; and the sense that national users associate with their interactions. To answer these objectives not only a number of methods of collection and analysis of information is used, but in turn, the data generated is inserted in a wide theoretical discussion about love and relationships. Thus, in the first part of this work, the imagery of love is analyzed from its main myths and stories. Subsequently the historical and sociological constitution of relationships is analyzed. Epistemological, methodological and et…

Introduction et dispersion d'une espèce envahissante : le cas de l'ambroisie à feuilles d'armoise (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) en France

2011

National audience; Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (common ragweed) was accidentally introduced into France in the 1860s. Its single vector of introduction in Europe was red clover seeds (Trifolium pratense L.), probably coming from Pennsylvania, United States at the time. A. artemisiifolia was later introduced into France in many places and at different times. This species has no natural or effective seed dispersal mechanisms and the spread of this weed in the territory is ensured by human activities that carry the seeds and create disturbed environments favourable to its development. It is now established in the Rhone Valley and a number of different factors (cropping system evolution, climate…

Environmental spillovers and their impacts on housing prices: A spatial hedonic analysis

2015

This paper investigates the spatial dimension of environmental factors on housing prices. We develop spatial hedonic models to estimate the implicit prices of various environmental attributes. The spatial dimension can be interpreted in terms of local or global spillovers. We conduct an empirical study in the Loire estuary (France). We focus on natural areas and more artificialized ones (ocean frontage, wetlands, rivers, and noisy roads). We show that, depending on the spatial model used, the implicit price is more than just the estimated coefficient value and combines both a feedback effect and a propagation effect.

The Intimations of "Aurora Leigh" in Elizabeth Barrett's Love Letters

2008

The last letters in the courtship of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning deal of course with all the practical aspects of what was to be the run away match of the century. But they also reveal feelings, attitudes and modes of writing that will grow and become the trademark of the mature Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry, in particular "Aurora Leigh". One finds in them an interest in ordinary people's lives, a sense of humour, a resistance to masculine authority and an assertion of equality between the genders that will all be at the heart of her great poem.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning in Italy

2009

Elizabeth Barrett Browning ran away to Italy after she secretly married Robert Browning, and she spent the rest of her life there. Her letters and Aurora Leigh reveal at the same time her romantic love for the country, the dramatic improvement in her health that ensued, probably linked to the liberation it represented for her, artistically as well as sexually. But they also speak of the difficult position in which she found herself as a published poet cut off from her roots and the literary resources and circles of London and the enduring sorrow of the daughter unforgiven by her father for her run away match. This tension produced the great Italian poems of her maturity but also a support o…

Guidance of surface elastic waves along a linear chain of pillars

2016

International audience; The propagation of surface elastic waves, or surface phonons, is considered along a linear and periodic chain of cylindrical pillars sitting on a semi-infinite solid substrate. A variety of guided modes, some of them exhibiting a very low group velocity, are shown to exist at frequencies close to the resonance frequencies of the pillars. Although the pillar diameter is typically smaller than half the relevant wavelength, lateral radiation on the surface is found to be canceled. Surface guidance is explained by the hybridization of the resonating pillars with the continuum of elastic waves of the substrate.

Il corpo sessuato delle dee. Agricoltura, pastorizia e mondo vegetale nella Mesopotamia antica

2021

Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyze the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing in particular on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it would, over the millennia, become paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexuality: male power and vigor, fema…
