Samuel Beckett and the Writers of Port-Royal
No full textIt has been observed that ‘the literary influences on Beckett have been far more important than has been acknowledged, and more important indeed, than the philosophical influences’ (Smith 2002: 3). The truth of this statement is evidenced by the description that scholars have given of Samuel Beckett’s relationship to seventeenth century French classicism. To date, critical interest has been limited for the most part to the figure of the philosopher René Descartes on the (fragile) grounds that Beckett was exclusively concerned with the Cartesian imperative of clarity and order, the fundamental dualism between body and mind, and Nominalism.
Together with the assumption that Beckett’s vision was essentially Cartesian, his literary filiation with Pascal was suggested by critics, but only in terms of Beckett’s formal approach to the theatre. In his short article on En attendant Godot in 1953, the playwright Jean Anouilh was among the first reviewers to suggest that Beckett’s drama synthesizes the encounter between ‘classicism’ and a ‘modern’ form of art. It is well known that Beckett retained a lifelong admiration for Pascal – indeed, Pascal was one of his ‘old chestnuts’ (Knowlson 1997: 653). Little attention has been paid, however, to the originality of Pascal’s thought, the specific nature of his prose, and the impact these might have had upon Beckett’s mature work, especially the trilogy and the subsequent short prose. Yet, in the literary and philosophical context of post-war France, Beckett’s filiation with Pascal, their corresponding preoccupations, were evident to his contemporaries, who identified Pascal as an underlying presence in his works
Un vignoble menacé : Valençay
No full textThe recession of vine-growing areas and the decreasing number of farms show that the Valençay vine-yard is meeting difficulties in adapting itself to the production of good-quality wine. The new forms of commercialization that have been developing for some time now (cooperative-society , indépendant vine-growers), have been unable to promote the « V.D.Q.S. Valençay » quality-wine, there fore the durability of this viticulture is threatened.Le retrait accentué des surfaces en vigne et la disparition de nombreuses exploitations prouvent l'adaptation difficile du vignoble de Valençay, contraint d'assurer maintenant une production de qualité. Les nouvelles formes de commercialisation qui sont apparues, depuis quelque temps déjà (cave coopérative, vignerons indépendants) n'ont pas réussi à promouvoir le vin de qualité « V.D.Q.S. -Valençay » et la pérennité de la viticulture s'en trouve menacée.Blondeau Pascal.

Vouvray et Montlouis. Deux vignobles tourangeaux dynamiques
No full textThe vine-growers of Vouvray and Montlouis, who stick to the production of natural or fizzy wines made from Pineau de Loire, a polyvalent type of vine which is commonly to be found in these regions, are still doing well, thanks to judicious trading. Whereas, the traditional high quality wine-growing is showing notable decline, owing to unefficient trade-backing.Les vignobles de Vouvray et Montlouis, fidèles à leur production de vins blancs nature ou effervescents issue du cépage pineau, de Loire, plant coutumier à ces régions et polyvalent, ont conservé leur prospérité grâce à des actions commerciales pertinentes. Par contre, la viticulture traditionnelle de haute qualité, très peu soutenue par le négoce, accuse une régression notable.Blondeau Pascal. Vouvray et Montlouis.

First person - Aude Pascal
No full textInternational audienceFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Aude Pascal is first author on `Annexin A2 and Ahnak control cortical NuMA-dynein localization and mitotic spindle orientation', published in JCS. Aude is a research assistant in the lab of Re ' gis Giet at University of Rennes, France, who is particularly interested in developmental biology. She has always been struck by the fact that a whole organism displaying multiple functions arises from a single cell. For this reason, she has oriented her research on mitosis and meiosis to study the different steps, components and structures involved in these processes
L'avenir des vergers dans la Sarthe
No full textABSTRACT
The cultivation of orchards in France has evolved a great deal in the last decade. The disappearance of many small production units while the specialized plantations have developed can be seen as the most important factors. The Sarthe, a large apple producer, is concerned by these alterations. The large stand of trees which has been established in this area ever since the war confirms its commercial role, but now medium-sized cultivators are preparing to attack the demanding fruit market and play a not-insignificant role in high-quality production.RÉSUMÉ
L'arboriculture fruitière a beaucoup évolué en France cette dernière décennie. La disparition de nombreuses petites unités de production et l'affirmation des exploitations spécialisées apparaissent comme les faits marquants. La Sarthe, important producteur de pommes, est concernée par ces mutations. La grande plantation établie dans le département dès l'après-guerre affirme son rôle commercial, mais de nouveaux vergers de dimension moyenne s'arment pour affronter le marché exigeant des fruits et prennent une part non négligeable dans la production de qualité.Blondeau Pascal. L'avenir des vergers dans la Sarthe. In: Norois, n°154, Avril-Juin 1992. pp. 131-144
Pascal Tutorial, 1987
No full textThere exists a limited number of tutorials for the Pascal programming language using the Apple Computer. The demand for these tutorials exceeds the supply. In this thesis an attempt was made to rectify this shortage by designing a Pascal tutorial for the Apple computer. This Pascal tutorial is designed to assist with instructing an introductory computer programming course in Pascal, incorporating Apple Superpilot as the authoring language. Emphasis is placed on making the program "user friendly." A person with no previous programming experience should be able to easily execute this tutorial. The information presented as the subject matter of the tutorial will follow the guidelines recommended by the Association for Computing Machinery
