Corps individuels, corps social : Nexus, le "roman à thèse" posthumain de Ramez Naam ?

2015

International audience; Cet article analyse comment la dissolution des frontières entre l'homme et la machine, mais aussi entre l'humain et le posthuman, se manifeste dans "Nexus", le premier volet de la trilogie de science-fiction de Ramez Naam, et comment celui-ci adapte son écriture à son propos. Cet ouvrage est lu, à la lumière des essais de Naam, comme un "roman à thèse" qui redéfinit humain et posthumain, en particulier grâce à des stratégies narratives innovantes.

Intimacy in Cinema: Critical Essays on English Language Film

2014

International audience; Though intimacy has been a wide concern in the humanities, it has received little critical attention in film studies. This collection of essays investigates both the potential intimacy of cinema as a medium and the possibility of a cinema of intimacy where it is least expected. As a notion defined by binaries--inside and outside, surface and depth, public and private, self and other--intimacy, because it implies sharing, calls into question the boundaries between these extremes, and the border separating mainstream cinema and independent or auteur cinema. Following on Thomas Elsaesser's theories of the relationship between the intimacy of cinema and the cinema of int…

Echoes of childhood : exploring childhood territories in the works of Sylvie Germain

2013

The work of Sylvie Germain is pervaded by numerous mythical and biblical references, which causes the reader to be immersed in a polyphonic process. It appears as a relevant field of study to raise questions related to both origin and family, equally structured by complex lineage bonds, lines of descent and alliances. It can become the stage on which individual and collective dramas are performed; murders are contrived under the appearance of luminous adoptions. The work of Sylvie Germain echoes the world’s disasters and leads the reader to perceive the ebb and flow of genealogy affecting all relatives in a dim or deafening manner. This study explores the situation of violence based on a th…

Test methodologies for the unitary root

1998

This paper provides a critical survey on unit root testing procedures frequently used in empirical literature. The importance of the hypothesis of linearity of the deterministic component is stressed because its misspecification may result in the false conclusion that the time series has a unit root. Testing strategies elaborated by Dickey, Bell and Miller (1986), Perron (1988) and Dolado, Jenkinson and Sosvilla-Rivero (1990) are compared and their limit is evaluated. An empirical testing strategy is then proposed and applied to the analysis of the nonstationarity exhibited by real GDP in France. We show that it is possible to find some flexible specifications that enable us to reject the u…

Vers une automatisation du contrôle visuel des produits

2015

International audience; La "qualité esthétique" des produits occupe aujourd'hui une place de plus en plus importante dans la maîtrise de la qualité. Elle se pose en tout cas parfois comme un objectif supplémentaire à atteindre par l'entreprise pour améliorer et pérenniser les relations que celle-ci établit avec ses clients. Le contrôle qualité à mettre en place doit réduire autant que possible la subjectivité dans l'évaluation de ce type de qualité, cette subjectivité pouvant être à l'origine de désaccords entre l'entreprise et ses clients sur le niveau de qualité à obtenir. Nos précédents travaux ont jusqu'à présent visé à mieux formaliser les différentes étapes d'un contrôle visuel des pr…

Rational backbone redesign of a fructosyl peptide oxidase to widen its active site access tunnel

2020

Fructosyl peptide oxidases (FPOXs) are enzymes currently used in enzymatic assays to measure the concentration of glycated hemoglobin and albumin in blood samples, which serve as biomarkers of diabetes. However, since FPOX are unable to work directly on glycated proteins, current enzymatic assays are based on a preliminary proteolytic digestion of the target proteins. Herein, to improve the speed and costs of the enzymatic assays for diabetes testing, we applied a rational design approach to engineer a novel enzyme with a wider access tunnel to the catalytic site, using a combination of Rosetta design and molecular dynamics simulations. Our final design, L3_35A, shows a significantly wider …

The enigmatic young brown dwarf binary FU Tau: accretion and activity

2010

FU Tau belongs to a rare class of young, wide brown dwarf binaries. We have resolved the system in a Chandra X-ray observation and detected only the primary, FU Tau A. Hard X-ray emission, presumably from a corona, is present but, unexpectedly, we detect also a strong and unusually soft component from FU Tau A. Its X-ray properties, so far unique among brown dwarfs, are very similar to those of the T Tauri star TW Hya. The analogy with TW Hya suggests that the dominating soft X-ray component can be explained by emission from accretion shocks. However, the typical free-fall velocities of a brown dwarf are too low for an interpretation of the observed X-ray temperature as post-shock region. O…
