Herd prevalence of Salmonella spp. in Danish pig herds after implementation of the Danish Salmonella Control Program with reference to a pre-implementation study
No full textThe problems addressed are: (1) comparison of prevalences of Salmonella spp. in different herd types in the Danish pig population after implementation of the Danish Salmonella Control Program (DSCP), and (2) to make a reference to a study from 1993/1994 (pre-implementation) with a discussion of possible biases when diagnostic methods differ slightly. The objectives were to present the prevalences of Salmonella spp., Salmonella Typhimurium, and multiresistant S. Typhimurium DT104 in Danish pig herds in 1998. Further, to discuss how herd prevalences may be compared to a previous study. A bacteriological study in 1998 comprised: (a) a random sample of slaughter pig producing herds (N = 1962); (b) a random sample of farrow-to-grower (sow) herds (N = 305); an

Beach\u27s (see record 1984-21471-001) conclusion that the attention given to commentaries and replies to articles did not justify the extra space. The author indicates that a 40% increase in space was associated with a 91% increase in citations; data do not argue against the use of commentaries
NORMAL COORDINATES FOR VINYL FLUORIDE AND THE SEVEN DEUTEROVINYL FLUORIDES
No full text B. Bak and D. Christensen, Spectrochim, Acta 12, 355 (1958). J. R. Scherer and W. J. Potts, J. Chem Phys. 31, 1691 (1959).Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, Thermodynamic Research Center Texas A\&M UniversityAnnual coordinate calculation was carried out for these eight isotopic molecules based mainly on the experimental data reported by Bak and A perturbation program was used and the most general quadratic valence force potential function was assumed. A six-constant potential function did reproduce very closely the 24 out-of-plane vibrations. The results agree very well with those of Scherer and A least-squares fit of the 72 calculated to the observed in-plane frequencies was obtained using a 45-constant potential function. On the basis of these calculations, the in-plane fundamental vibrational assignments of Bak and Christensen were reexamined and modified. The new assignments as well as the final set of potential functions will be presented and discussed
Écrire la concomitance dans les littératures francophones du Canada. L'œuvre poétique de J.R. Léveillé, Andrée Christensen, Serge Patrice Thibodeau et Suzanne Jacob
No full textLa critique des littératures francophones du Canada s'est longtemps nourrie de paradoxes. Se fondant d'abord sur les concepts de « littérature mineure » (Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari, Kafka. Pour une littérature mineure, 1975) et, dans une plus large mesure, de « littératures de l'exiguïté » (François Paré, Les littératures de l'exiguïté, 1992), elle s'est employée, à partir de la fin des années 1980 et du début des années 1990, à fonder un discours qui structurera essentiellement le champ des littératures francophones minoritaires autour de la notion d'identité. Cette littérature tournée vers sa spécificité vient toutefois occulter une partie importante de la production littéraire issue des francophonies du Canada qui est davantage orientée vers l'universalité. Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'interstice, à l'espace qui rend possible la conjugaison entre les réalités binaires qui caractérisent souvent les littératures francophones du Canada, à savoir leur appartenance à une exiguïté socioculturelle constitutive, d'une part, et leur aspiration à l'universalité érigée par la pratique de l'écriture, d'autre part. Pour rendre compte de l'articulation entre la conscience et l'oubli, entre le particularisme et l'universalisme à l'œuvre dans ces littératures, nous introduisons ici la notion de concomitance, qui apparaît comme une voie de lecture qui ambitionne de concilier les différences plutôt qu'une approche théorique à proprement parler. La concomitance se manifeste de différentes façons dans la production littéraire francophone du Canada, mais sa présence est particulièrement éloquente dans l'œuvre de certains auteurs, dont J. R. Léveillé (littératures francophones de l'Ouest canadien), Andrée Christensen (littérature franco-ontarienne), Serge Patrice Thibodeau (littérature acadienne) et Suzanne Jacob (littérature québécoise). C'est notamment à travers l'étude des stratégies discursives, des procédés et des mécanismes déployés dans la poésie de ces auteurs -poésie qui constitue « le langage même des marginalités », selon une expression de François Paré - que se révéleront les différentes expressions de la concomitance dans les littératures francophones du Canada
