L’œuvre ouverte de Tomi Ungerer : traductions palimpsestes et transferts interculturels
No full textInternational audienceTomi Ungerer, author and illustrator of works for children, born in France, Strasbourg, in 1931, speaks three languages: French, English, German, and the Alsatian dialect. Therefore, his idiosyncratic linguistic fluency gives him an opportunity to supervise the translation of his pieces. Written primarily in English, his works are also provided – with his supervision – both in French and German. Many excerpts of these texts manifest how effectively Ungerer plays with all the languages he is acquainted with, as he creates expressions, puns, and sounds emerging from his subversive mind. If his concoction of these translations and retranslations are taken into consideration, it would be plausible to affirm that Ungerer has been setting forth a living and open work – a real linguistic palimpsest. This study focuses first on the Alsatian aspects present in Ungerer’s work, whose childhood has been spent in Alsace. Afterwards, the focus shall be directed to two of his works – Les Trois Brigands and Otto – which have been retranslated; and, finally, the expressions which have been revised by the author, present in Amis-Amies are reflected upon.Tomi Ungerer, auteur et illustrateur pour enfants, né en France, à Strasbourg, en 1931 parle trois langues : le français, l’anglais, l’allemand, mais également le dialecte alsacien. Cette position linguistique particulière l’amène à superviser les traductions de ses albums. D’abord écrits en anglais, ses albums sont traduits en français et en allemand. De nombreux exemples montrent comment Tomi Ungerer joue avec les trois langues qu’il connaît bien, comment il crée des expressions, des jeux de mots, des sonorités qui proviennent de son imaginaire subversif. Au gré des traductions et retraductions, Tomi Ungerer rend son œuvre vivante, ouverte, créant un véritable palimpseste linguistique. Nous étudierons d’abord l’alsacianité dont fait preuve Tomi Ungerer, qui a passé son enfance en Alsace, puis nous parlerons des albums Les Trois Brigands et Otto qui ont été retraduits, enfin nous prendrons l’exemple de l’album Amis-Amies dont certaines expressions savoureuses ont été revues par l’auteur

No full textInternational audienceThe cathedral of Strasbourg has been drawn many times by the author-illustrator Tomi Ungerer. His posters, postcards, drawings, collages, book illustrations, and advertisements, created between 1975 and 2007, were published in an album entitled Mes cathédrales (published by La Nuée Bleue, 2007).

On Abstracting Decision Procedures for Non-monotonic Reasoning
No full texting Decision Procedures for Non-monotonic Reasoning Tomi Janhunen 1 Abstract. The author has recently introduced a meta-level specification for non-monotonic theories which has default theories, normal logic programs and separated autoepistemic theories as instances. Semantics including the stable, stationary and regular semantics are generalized for non-monotonic theories satisfying the specification in a straightforward way. Most importantly, it is possible to prove properties of semantics directly from the specification and independently of the instances. This paper provides a preliminary discussion of extending the specification to cover computational issues of the instances. It is expected that properties such as decidability and computational time complexity can be addressed by distinguishing non-monotonic theories that are finitely characterizable. Moreover, it seems that meta-level decision procedures can be devised to cover reasoning corresponding to any finitely characteriz..

Tämä opinnäytetyö tehtiin Borealis Polymers Oy:n petrokemian laadunvalvontalaboratoriossa Porvoossa.
Metyylitertiääributyylieetteriä eli MTBE:tä analysoidaan naftasta, koska se ei ole petrokemian prosesseissa toivottu yhdiste. Naftanäytteet esikäsitellään kiinteäfaasiuuttokolonnissa ja MTBE-pitoisuus määritetään GC-FID:llä sisäisen standardin menetelmällä. Menetelmällä analysoitujen näytteiden tulosten välillä on ollut suurta hajontaa niin saman tekijän kuin eri tekijöidenkin välillä. Tämän työn tavoitteena oli kehittää menetelmää toistettavammaksi.
Työssä selvitettiin erilaisten näytteen esikäsittelymenetelmien ja kaasukromatografisten parametrien vaikutukset analysoituun MTBE-pitoisuuteen. Näytteen esikäsittelyn osalta selvitettiin kiinteäfaasiuuton uuttomenetelmän muuttujien vaikutukset analysoituun MTBE-pitoisuuteen sekä laimentamisen ja vesiuuton käyttökelpoisuus näytteen esikäsittelymenetelmänä. Kaasukromatografisen analyysin osalta selvitettiin lähes kaikkien muutettavissa olevien parametrien vaikutukset MTBE:n erottumiseen.
Näiden selvitysten perusteella havaittiin, että tulosten hajontaan vaikuttavat MTBE:n kanssa samankaltaiset yhdisteet, joita ei käytössä olleilla välineillä saatu täysin erottumaan toisistaan. Mittaustulosten perusteella tehtyjen havaintojen avulla vakioitiin MTBE:n analysoimiseksi sellainen menetelmä, jolla saadaan tulos, mitä tutkittava näyte korkeintaan sisältää MTBE:tä. Tämä pätee siinä tapauksessa, että sisäisenä standardina käytettävä 1-propanoli ja MTBE käyttäytyvät samalla tavalla kiinteäfaasiuuttokolonnissa.

This thesis carried out at the petrochemical quality control laboratory of Boralis Polymers ltd´s in Porvoo.
Methyltertbutylether or MTBE analyzed from naphta because it is not desired compound in petrochemical prosesses. Naphta samples pretreated in solid phase exraction column and MTBE content analyzed by GC-FID using internal standard method. Samples analyzed by the method there has been major deviation in results between same author as different authors. Objective to this work was to develop the method more repeatable.
This thesis investigated effects of different methods of sample preparation and gas chromatographic parameters of analyzed MTBE consentration. The sample pretreatment studied solid phase extraction method´s variable effects of MTBE concentration. Also studied possibility to use dilution or water extraction in sample preparation method. As regards of gas chromatografic analysis examined nearly all the modifiable parameters effects about MTBE seperation.
Based on these studies it was found that the deviation of results influence similar compounds as MTBE, which could not be completely seperated by existing tools. On the basis of measurement results were standardized method which provides result to the test sample up to contain MTBE. This is true in the case of MTBE and 1-propanol used as internal standard act same way in solid phase extraction

The euro crisis and constitutional pluralism ::financial stability but constitutional inequality /
No full text"This insightful book assesses the theory of constitutional pluralism in light of the events of the Eurozone crisis of the past decade. Based on an analysis of how national courts reviewed the crisis response mechanisms and participated in the European-level political process, Tomi Tuominen argues that constitutional pluralism is not a valid normative theory of European constitutionalism. The analysis of crisis response mechanisms focuses on how the lack of a proper economic policy competence for the EU affected the formation of the measures and is at the root of the criticism concerning these mechanisms. Furthermore, the author connects discussions on the Eurozone crisis and constitutional pluralism in an innovative fashion, whilst also explaining how asymmetry and pluralism are linked. A novel reading on the horizontal and vertical aspects of Article 4(2) TEU is also developed throughout. Utilizing up-to-date and original analyses, The Euro-Crisis and Constitutional Pluralism will be an important read for scholars and students of European law, EU constitutional law and public policy"-

Building a Practical Quantum Network: How to Leverage Quantum Entanglement as a Resource
No full text14Quantum Networking is an increasingly relevant research field aimed at facilitating a number of current and future applications, such as long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD), blind quantum computing and distributed quantum sensing [1]. Many recent publications present visions for a 'quantum internet' capable of enabling such applications on a global scale. These works often focus on fundamental architectures, protocol stacks, and long-term technology roadmaps, generally assuming the availability of quantum repeaters and memories that are not yet ready for widespread deployment [2]. In contrast, near-term progress depends on identifying architectures that can be built with components available today, and addressing challenges in integrating them into existing telecom infrastructure. Recent works have demonstrated quantum entanglement distribution via networks and its use in illustrative quantum applications under realistic conditions [3 , 4]
