Le suicide de Pidansat de Mairobert
No full textLouis-Sébastien Mercier, a prolific dramatist whose works were translated all over Europe, had difficulty winning recognition in Paris ; La Harpe described him as a 'provincial dramatist'. A study of the theatrical registers of France's major towns and the copyright registers in the Mercier papers at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal shows that his plays were frequently performed in the provinces until the beginning of the Romantic period. From these archives we can reconstruct the provincial repertory, thus throwing light on the relationships linking author, actors and public. It is this relationship that contributed to the originality of Mercier' s dramatic production.Merrick Jeffry. Le suicide de Pidansat de Mairobert. In: Dix-huitième Siècle, n°35, 2003.

Analysis of the initiation of acentrosomal spindle assembly in Drosophila melanogaster
No full textIn many species, meiotic spindles assemble microtubules in the absence of centrosomes. An acentrosomal mechanism has been proposed where the chromosomes initiate spindle assembly by nucleating and capturing microtubules. While preliminary evidence has supported this model in Drosophila, very little is actually known about how a bipolar spindle is initiated and maintained in the absence of centrosomes. RanGTP is a small GTPase which has been shown to be important for chromosome-dependent spindle assembly in Xenopus extracts. I investigated the effect of manipulating the Ran pathway on spindle assembly in Drosophila oocytes and embryos. Surprisingly, I found that RanGTP is not essential for the formation of the acentrosomal spindle near the chromosomes. However, I discovered that RanGTP is essential for completing chromosome-independent microtubule assembly, such as pro-nuclear fusion. Thus, RanGTP may be required for microtubule assembly when chromosomes are absent, but redundant with the chromosomal passenger complex when chromosomes are present. Another contributor to acentrosomal spindle assembly is Subito, a member of the kinesin 6 superfamily. Subito binds and bundles microtubules at the central spindle in both centrosomal and acentrosomal systems. We have previously shown that expression of Subito with an N-terminus deletion results in the formation of chromosome-independent spindles, or ectopic spindles, in the Drosophila oocyte. By continuing the mutational analysis within the N-terminus, I have further characterized its regulatory role. We have shown that two conserved serines negatively regulate the motor activity of Subito, while other domains within the N-terminus are essential for positive regulation. So while originally believed to be simply a negative regulator, the N-terminus is actually a complex region of negative and positive regulators. My studies have helped to clarify the requirements for the initiation of acentrosomal spindle assembly in Drosophila. RanGTP is essential for spindle assembly in a chromosome independent manner, suggesting that chromosomal passenger complex is necessary for chromosome dependent microtubule assembly. Furthermore, we suggest a model of auto-inhibition for Subito with the N-terminus interacting with the C-terminus, preventing the binding of microtubules. Together, these results have provided new insights into acentrosomal spindle assembly.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Jeffry Cesari

Electrodeposition of adherent copper film on unmodified tungsten.
No full textAdherent Cu films were electrodeposited onto polycrystalline W foils from purged solutions of 0.05 M CuSO4 in H2SO4 supporting electrolyte and 0.025 M CuCO3∙Cu(OH)2 in 0.32 M H3BO3 and corresponding HBF4 supporting electrolyte, both at pH = 1. Films were deposited under constant potential conditions at voltages between -0.6 V and -0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl. All films produced by pulses of 10 s duration were visible to the eye, copper colored, and survived a crude test called "the Scotch tape test", which stick the scotch tape on the sample, then peel off the tape and see if the copper film peels off or not. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the presence of metallic Cu, with apparent dendritic growth. No sulfur impurity was observable by XPS or EDX. Kinetics measurements indicate that the Cu nucleation process in the sulfuric bath is slower than in the borate bath. In both baths, nucleation kinetics do not correspond to either instantaneous or progressive nucleation. Films deposited from 0.05 M CuSO4/H2SO4 solution at pH > 1 at -0.2 V exhibited poor adhesion and decreased Cu reduction current. In both borate and sulfate baths, small Cu nuclei are observable by SEM upon deposition at higher negative overpotentials, while only large nuclei (~ 1 micron or larger) are observed upon deposition at less negative potentials
DEMOCRACY AND GROWTH: A DYNAMIC PANEL DATA STUDY
No full text In this paper, we investigate the idea whether democracy has a direct effect on economic growth. We use a system GMM framework that allows us to model the dynamic aspects of the growth process and control for the endogenous nature of many explanatory variables. In contrast to the growth effects of institutions, regime stability, openness, geography and macro-economic policy variables, we find that measures of democracy matter little, if at all, for the economic growth process. </jats:p
Institutions, Geography and Trade: A Panel Data Study
No full textA number of recent papers study the impact of institutions, trade and geography known as “deep determinants” of economic development using cross-section data. This paper instead employs a panel data approach to examine the impact of these three determinants on per capita income. Our approach enables us to account for unobserved heterogeneity across countries, an issue that cannot be addressed in a cross-section framework. Moreover, employing the Hausman and Taylor (1981) approach allows us to obtain direct parameter estimates of the time invariant explanatory variables like geography or some institutional measures, making our results comparable to the existing cross-section iterature. Also, by using lagged explanatory variables whenever possible we can account for contemporaneous correlation between these variables and the idiosyncratic error term. We find that the quality of institutions and openness to trade both have positive and statistically significant coefficient estimates throughout most specifications, while geography, captured by malaria ecology measure, has negative estimates that are often, but not always statistically significant. In terms of their economic impact, institutional measures appear to have the strongest impact, followed by openness to trade measures. In comparison, geography measures have rather small elasticity estimates.Development, Institutions, Openness, Geography, panel data
