Empirical Processes of Multidimensional Systems with Multiple Mixing Properties
No full textInternational audienceWe establish a multivariate empirical process central limit theorem for stationary -valued stochastic processes under very weak conditions concerning the dependence structure of the process. As an application we can prove the empirical process CLT for ergodic torus automorphisms. Our results also apply to Markov chains and dynamical systems having a spectral gap on some Banach space of functions. Our proof uses a multivariate extension of the techniques introduced by Dehling, Durieu and Volný \cite{DehDurVol09} in the univariate case. As an important technical ingredient, we prove a th moment bound for partial sums in multiply mixing systems
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Pilularia minuta Durieu

La plante était en effet inconnue du Cap Corse, ses stations étant essentiellement groupées dans le sud de l’île, plus une mention sur la plaine d’Aléria; de plus, cette localité est située à 650 m, alors que les autres restent limitées aux basses altitudes. L’aire de battage, comme assez fréquemment, se comporte en mare temporaire lors des hivers très pluvieux, mais ne doit se mettre en eau que rarement, ainsi que semblent l’indiquer sa faible profondeur, mais surtout son cortège végétal réduit.</p> <p>A.

<I>Entosthodon commutatus</I> Durieu <I>et</I> Mont. (Funariaceae, Bryopsida), new to Europe and Morocco
No full textEntosthodon commutatus Durieu et Mont., heretofore considered an Algerian endemic, has been collected in Morocco and southern Spain. New morphological data, distribution and differences from E. attenuatus (Dicks.) Bryhn, the most closely related and morphologically similar species, are given. A lectotype and epitype for E. commutatus are designated.</p
The strength of the epitype. A brief note on Gagea granatellii (Parl.) Parl. and G. mauritanica Durieu (Liliaceae)
No full textThe lectotype of Gagea granatellii (Parl.) Parl. has been identified as the species to which the name Gagea mauritanica Durieu is generally applied. Thus, both names has been treated as conspecific in Flora iberica. However, an epitype was designated for Gagea granatellii, which breaks the conspecificity and allows the use of both names for different tax

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Influence of age at disease onset in the outcome of paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus
No full textMethods. Fifty-six patients with pSLE, divided into three groups (pre-pubertal, peripubertal and post-pubertal onset), were studied. The SDI (SLICC/ACR Damage Index for SLE), patients characteristics, disease manifestations and treatments were compared using Fishers exact test and KruskalWallis test. KaplanMeier curves were constructed to compare the risk of damage occurrence.
Results. The risk of damage (SDI 1) significantly decreased when age at disease onset increased (89 in pre-pubertal pSLE, 57 in peripubertal pSLE and 38 in post-pubertal pSLE). This excess of risk was found in all disease duration intervals studied (13, 35, 58, 810, 10 years) and at the end of follow-up. KaplanMeier curves indicated a higher and earlier risk of damage in younger patients. Young children showed higher frequency of autoimmune family history. The frequency of neuropsychiatric disorders and damages decreased with age at disease onset (P 0.05). Cumulative duration of high-dose prednisone ( 0.5 mg/kg/day) and number of immunosuppressive drugs used that seem to contribute to damage significantly increased when age at disease onset decreased.
Conclusions. The risk of damage is inversely correlated with age at disease onset in pSLE. The poorer outcome observed in younger children may be explained by a more severe disease expression, may be a higher infectious susceptibility, and a more aggressive therapy, particularly within the first 6 months of disease course
