Is There Market Power in the French Comte Cheese Market?
No full textAn NEIO approach is used to measure seller market power in the French Comté cheese market, characterised by government-approved supply control. The estimation is performed on quarterly data at the wholesale stage over the period 1985-2005. Three different elasticity shifters are included in the demand specification, and the supply equation accounts for the existence of the European dairy quota policy. The market power estimate is small and statistically insignificant. Monopoly is rejected, as well as weak forms of Cournot oligopoly. Results appear to be robust to the choice of functional form, and suggest little effect of the supply control scheme on consumer prices.Supply control, NEIO, protected designation of origin, Marketing,
The aesthetics of Pierre Boulez
No full textTo enable the reader to find references as quickly and easily as possible, I have grouped all references together in the bibliography in alphabetical order. Texts by the same author are distinguished first by year and second, if there are several texts from the same year, by letter. Interviews and writing collaborations (including published correspondence) involving Boulez are also ordered alphabetically. The year given at the beginning of each bibliographical entry is, in the majority of cases, the year in which the text was first published (not necessarily the year of the edition cited). For all writings written by Boulez, I have provided the original title under which the text in question was first published (usually in French). Many articles have subsequently been translated into English and therefore I have decided to provide page references for both versions. For all texts by writers other than Boulez, I have cited the version of the text I have used. Wherever possible, I have cited the existing English translations of texts originally written in French. However, on many occasions I have considered it necessary to make alterations to the published translations. This is particularly applicable to Boulez on Music Today (1971) and Orientations (1986), both of which display an often heavy-handed and rather inaccurate approach to the task of translating specific concepts employed by Boulez. In contrast. Stocktakings of an Apprenticeship (1991) has required only occasional minor amendments. All changes to the published English translations are acknowledged in the corresponding footnote. None of the material m this thesis has previously been submitted for a degree in this or any other University. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published without prior written consent and information from it should be acknowledged.

Etnografia e fotografia: reflexões sobre as fotografias etnográficas de Pierre Fatumbi Verger
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-graduação em Antropologia Social, Florianópolis, 2009A relação entre a fotografia e a etnografia nos estudos da Antropologia, apesar de antiga e densa, é incerta e complexa. Se por um lado a fotografia é a cada dia mais utilizada nos trabalhos antropológicos, por outro sua potencialidade como algo além da ilustração e de uma técnica de interação com o Outro é pouco explorada. A partir do exemplo, do legado, da trajetória de vida e, principalmente, da obra de Pierre Fatumbi Verger, esta pesquisa se dedica a analisar essa relação. Francês radicado na Bahia na década de 1940, Verger é conhecido mundialmente tanto por seu trabalho como fotógrafo quanto pelas suas pesquisa etnográficas. Há, entretanto, uma indefinição quanto à razão desse reconhecimento, e examinar as suas razões oferece um profícuo campo de reflexão sobre a pesquisa etnográfica, especialmente quando relacionada ao universo das imagens fotográficas. A Fundação Pierre Verger é a instituição que atualmente abriga o acervo do fotógrafo-etnógrafo e onde foi realizada a pesquisa de campo através da qual, aliada à leitura de fotografias relacionadas ao candomblé em suas manifestações na África e na Bahia, foi criada uma metodologia de análise das fotografias que privilegia as interações e os diálogos como espaço de construção de definições sobre a etnografia. Pelo contato com a Fundação, seus freqüentadores e o acervo fotográfico ali disponibilizado, esta pesquisa pretende refletir sobre a etnografia e a construção de um olhar etnográfico em relação direta com o exercício da fotografia.The relationship between photography and ethnography in anthropological studies, albeit ancient and deep, is uncertain and complex. Photography has been increasingly used in anthropological researches but it´s potencial as something beyond illustration and it´s interaction with the Other as a technique is very little explored. This research is dedicated to the analysis of this relationship by taking the work of Pierre Fatumbi Verger, his life and legacy. A French man, rooted in Bahia, Brasil, in the decade of 1940, Verger is known worldwide for his work as a photographer as well as for his etnographic studies. However, the reason of this recognition is undefined and examining the reason for these indefinitions can be a fruitful field of reflection concerning ethnographic researches, especially when related to the photographic universe. The Pierre Verger Foundation is the institution that hosts his photographic and ethnographic collection and it´s also where the field research of this work took place. Through the field research combined with the readings of photographs related to candomblé and it´s manifestations in Africa and Bahia, a photographic analysis methodology was created that privilege interaction and dialogue as a way to build definitions about ethnography. By the contact with the Foundation, it´s users and it´s available photographic collection, this research intends to reflect about the ethnography and the creation of an ethnographic view in direct relation to the exercise of photography

Towards dictionary learning from images with non Gaussian noise
No full textInternational audienceWe address the problem of image dictionary learning from noisy images with non Gaussian noise. This problem is difficult. As a first step, we consider the extreme sparse code given by vector quantization, i.e. each pixel is finally associated to 1 single atom. For Gaussian noise, the natural solution is K-means clustering using the sum of the squares of differences between gray levels as the dissimilarity measure between patches. For non Gaussian noises (Poisson, Gamma,...), a new measure of dissimilarity between noisy patches is necessary. We study the use of the generalized likelihood ratios (GLR) recently introduced by Deledalle et al. 2012 to compare non Gaussian noisy patches. We propose a K-medoids algorithm generalizing the usual Linde-Buzo-Gray K-means using the GLR based dissimilarity measure. We obtain a vector quantization which provides a dictionary that can be very large and redundant. We illustrate our approach by dictionaries learnt from images featuring non Gaussian noise, and present preliminary denoising results

He had served as the seventh White House Press Secretary for United States Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Salinger served as a United States Senator in 1964 and as campaign manager for the 1968 Robert F. Kennedy presidential campaign.
Born in San Francisco in 1925, Salinger began his journalism career at the San Francisco Chronicle, where he worked as a copy boy, reporter and editor until 1955. After that, he worked at Collier\u27s Magazine and then for the U.S. Senate Labor Rackets Committee.
Salinger then entered the business world, working as vice president for National General Corp. and Continental Airlines before returning to journalism as editor of the French weekly L\u27Express. In 1978, he began working as a correspondent for ABC News, a job he had until 1993
Sampling methods for statistical inference of non-linear inverse problems : spatial distribution of physico-chemical properties of the interstellar medium
No full textLe milieu interstellaire (MIS) est un milieu très diffus qui remplit l’immense volume entre les objets célestes tels que les étoiles et les trous noirs au sein d’une galaxie. L’étude du MIS soulève des questions fondamentales dont la formation d’étoiles. Les étoiles naissent de l’effondrement gravitationnel de parties de régions froides et denses du MIS appelées nuages moléculaires.Cette thèse analyse des cartes multispectrales de nuages moléculaires dans les domaines infrarouge lointain et radio, obtenues par des télescopes spatiaux ou terrestres. L’attention est portée aux nuages illuminés et chauffés par des étoiles massives voisines émettant des photons UV. La couche de surface de tels nuages, où le champ radiatif UV chauffe et dissocie le gaz moléculaire, est appelée région de photodissociation (PDR). Leur cartes multispectrales contiennent typiquement de 1 à 10 000 pixels, où chaque pixel contient l’intensité intégrée de 5 à 30 raies d’émission. Ces intensités peuvent être comparées avec les prédictions d’un modèle numérique du MIS tel que le code PDR de Meudon, qui calcule ces intensités à partir de paramètres physiques. Cette thèse vise à estimer des cartes de paramètres physiques (tels que la pression thermique ou l’intensité du champ UV incident) à partir d’une carte d’observation et du code PDR de Meudon. Ce problème est une instance d’une classe générale de problèmes inverses.Une nouvelle méthode d’inférence tenant compte d’autant de sources d’incertitudes que possible est introduite. Une procédure générale est proposée pour construire une approximation de modèles numériques. Elle exploite un réseau de neurones spécifique et surpasse les méthodes d’interpolation en terme de précision, de poids mémoire et de durée d’évaluation. Une régularisation spatiale améliore les estimations. Une approche par échantillonnage est considérée pour fournir des quantification d’incertitudes en plus d’estimateurs ponctuels de cartes de paramètres physiques afin de compenser l’absence vérité terrain, inhérente à l’astrophysique. L’algorithme Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) proposé combine deux échantillonneurs: l’un identifie les minima locaux dans l’espace des paramètres tandis que l’autre les explore efficacement. Finalement, la pertinence du modèle d’observation considéré pour l’inférence est vérifiée. La méthode proposée est appliquée à des données synthétiques pour validation, puis à des observations réelles. Les résultats sont analysés pour fournir des interprétations astrophysiquesThe interstellar medium (ISM) is a very diffuse medium that fills the extraordinarily large volume between celestial objects such as stars and black holes in a galaxy. The study of the ISM raises fundamental questions including star formation. Stars are born from the gravitational collapse of a part of cold and dense regions of the ISM called molecular clouds.This thesis analyzes multispectral maps of molecular clouds in the infrared and radio domains, observed by space or ground telescopes. The focus is put on clouds that are illuminated and heated by nearby massive stars emitting UV photons. The surface layer of such clouds, where the UV irradiation heats and dissociates the molecular gas, is called a photodissociation region (PDR). Their multispectral maps typically contain from 1 to 10 000 pixels, where each pixel contains the integrated intensities of 5 to 30 emission lines. These intensities can be compared with the predictions of an ISM numerical model such as the Meudon PDR code that computes intensities from physical parameters. This thesis aims at estimating maps of physical parameters (such as the thermal pressure or the intensity of the incident UV field) from an observation map and the Meudon PDR code. This problem is an instance of a general class of inverse problems.A new inference method that accounts for as many uncertainty sources as possible is introduced. A general procedure to derive a surrogate approximation of numerical models is proposed. It is based on a specific neural network and outperforms interpolation methods in accuracy, memory weight and evaluation time. A spatial regularization improves estimations. A sampling approach is considered to provide uncertainty quantification along with the estimated physical parameter maps to address the absence of ground truth, inherent to astrophysics. The proposed Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) algorithm combines two samplers: one identifies local minima in the parameters space while the second efficiently explores them. Finally, the relevance of the observation model considered for inference is assessed. The proposed method is applied to synthetic data for validation and then to real observations. The results are analyzed for astrophysical interpretatio
