Tip induced fluorescence quenching for nanometer optical and topographical resolution
No full textProgress in nanosciences and life sciences is closely related to developments of high resolution imaging techniques. We introduce a technique which produces correlated topography and fluorescence lifetime images with nanometer resolution. Spot sizes below 5 nm are achieved by quenching of the fluorescence with silicon probes of an atomic force microscope which is combined and synchronized with a confocal fluorescence lifetime microscope. Moreover, we demonstrate the ability to locate and resolve the position of two fluorescent molecules separated by 20.7 nm on a DNA origami triangle with 120 nm side length by correlating topography and fluorescence data. With this method, we anticipate applications in nano- and life sciences, such as the determination of the structure of macromolecular assemblies on surfaces, molecular interactions, as well as the structure and function of nanomaterials
Animating the Object: Marcelle Deschênes and acousmatic education in Quebec
No full textThis article examines the early reception of Pierre Schaeffer’s theoretical work in Quebec through the teaching of Marcelle Deschênes, principal author of the first electroacoustic theory and ear training curricula at both Université Laval and Université de Montréal. An account of Deschênes’s educational career is provided, along with remarks on the contents of her early courses in Morpho-typology and her listening workshops for children, using newly excavated primary material from her private archives. While existing scholarship presumes that Schaefferian thinking arrived in Quebec with the ‘orthodox’ acousmatic approach of Francis Dhomont, this article asserts that a pluralist and multidisciplinary interpretation of Schaeffer’s work can be discerned which pre-dated Dhomont’s teaching and has had an equally lasting impact overall. A methodological argument is also made for including education and other forms of ‘reproductive labour’ in the history of electroacoustic music.</jats:p
L’orientalisme sans voile : Récits de voyage en Turquie de Marcelle Tinayre et de Demetra Vaka Brown
No full textThis article focuses on the travel narratives of Marcelle Tinayre and of Demetra Vaka Brown whilst in Turkey. The study examines the position of these feminist author-journalists during the modernisation of Turkish society and the modern/traditional polarisation which shook Turkey for many years following the emergence of the Young Turks reform movement. The daily lives and customs of Ottoman women are also examined, as well as the readiness of the two writers to show feminine solidarity towards these women, therefore transcending colonial prejudices
Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux et Marcelle Deschênes : pionnières dans le sentier de la création électroacoustique
No full textL’auteure tente de cerner les attitudes « masculines » et « féminines » de la création musicale des cinquante dernières années afin de faire ressortir la contribution de deux compositrices québécoises, Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux et Marcelle Deschênes, au développement de la musique électroacoustique au Québec. Par une mise en contexte historique, l’auteure situe dans un premier temps le milieu dans lequel elles ont vécu leur enfance, leur adolescence, et leur formation musicale à Montréal et à Paris ; puis la manière dont elles ont traversé le discours dominant des années 1970, pour finalement aborder leur rôle de pionnières. Parce qu’elles voulaient sortir des sentiers battus, elles ont compris que les nouveaux outils technologiques pourraient leur servir à exprimer musicalement une nouvelle sensibilité artistique. En ce sens, elles furent les « sherpas » du milieu électroacoustique au Québec.A review of “masculine” and “feminine” attitudes towards music composition of the past fifty years highlights the contributions of Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux and Marcelle Deschênes to the development of Québécois electroacoustic music. The author re-creates the historical context for the composers’ childhoods, adolescences, and periods of training in Montreal and Paris, and follows this with a discussion of how they negotiated the dominant trends of the 1970s. She then turns to the composers’ roles as pioneers: in their wish to depart from well-trodden paths, Coulombe Saint-Marcoux and Deschênes turned to new technological tools that would allow them to express a new artistic sensibility. From this perspective, they should be considered the “sherpas” of Québécois electroacoustic music

Fantine in the Belle Époque: Representation of the Fille-Mère in L'Assiette au beurre (1902) and Marcelle Tinayre's La Rebelle (1905)
No full textAbstract: This article reads depictions of the fille-mère as a vehicle for the expression of anxieties surrounding representation of marginal female figures and freedom of the press in the Belle Époque. It looks to two texts, exploring how these fictional unmarried mothers differ from Hugo's Fantine, the archetype of the fille-mère , earlier in the nineteenth century. After an overview of welfare support for unmarried mothers in the long nineteenth century, the author provides close and intermedial readings of a 1902 issue of L'Assiette au Beurre and Marcelle Tinayre's La Rebelle (1905), focusing on the limits of representation of these non-conforming women
Closing the gap between policy and 'Law' : Indigenous homelands and a working future
No full textThe Northern Territory Government's Working Future: Outstations/Homelands (2009) policy statement gives effect to the Council of Australian Government's Closing the Gap policy on Indigenous housing and remote service delivery. These policies mark a radical shift in public policy that winds back the outstations and homelands movement that began in the 1970's. This paper examines Indigenous homelands policy and considers whether these policies are consistent with the Indigenous human rights and in particular the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), which Australia endorsed in 2009. The author argues that the current homelands policy breaches a number of Indigenous human rights and promotes assimiliation by forcing Indigenous Australians to relocate to access basic services such as health, housing and education. As a consequence these policies are counter-intuitive to the overall Closing the Gap goals of improving Indigenous health outcomes because they fail to take into account the importance of country and culture to Indigenous wellbeing. She concludes that Australian governments need to formulate a homelands policy that is consistent with Indigenous human rights and in particular the right of self determination, enjoyment of culture and protection against forced assimilation
Marcelle Delpastre (1925-1998). Relégation au local et aspiration à l’universel
No full textMarcelle Delpastre (1925-1998) spent her whole life on a farm in the Correze. While ramining a full-time farmer, she became the author of a wide-ranging and very diverse oeuvre (poetry, novellas, ethnograghic works, mémoires, etc.) in French and Limousin Occitan, which to this day remains sadly unknown. At first glance there would appear to be grounds for considering Delpastres’s writing highly parochial in view ot the genres she embraces, the subjects treated and, of course, her choice of the Limousin language. The undoubted specificity of her location cannot, however, be divorced from a constantly affirmed universality in the scope of her vision and which withstands all portrayds confining her to the local or regional. Throughout her authorial career Delpastre was subjected to the constant humilation of being regarded as a succession of stereotypes : the clog-shod, clod-hoping writer of the Limousin pastourelle and so on, against which she tenaciously argued the case for the universality of any one, distinct place. A specific form of conflict can be traced throughout her work and life by which an undervalued culture reduced to the local or regional, as opposede to the national and universal, demands its own universality and affirms itself in the refusal to identify with the outworn sterotypes imposed on it by the dominant culture
Building and running general equilibrium models in EViews
No full textA crucial step in policy analysis involves computing consequences of policy actions. The author shows how to implement numerically a general equilibrium model in EViews. Computable general equilibrium models are now commonly used in both industrial and developing countries to assess the impact of external shocks or economic policies on the structure of the economy or the distribution of welfare. The current version of EViews offers a set of tools for building and solving simulation models in general. The same tools make it possible to conduct policy analysis within a general equilibrium framework. Based on the generalized Salter-Swan framework and macroeconomic data for Indonesia, the author shows how to process a social accounting matrix, specify and calibrate the model, and run simulations. The results replicate welfare and structural effects of shocks and policies consistent with the underlying conceptual framework. They also reveal the key role played by structural parameters, such as the elasticity of export transformation and that of import substitution, in determining the extent of structural adjustment to shocks and the relevance of the policy response.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Labor Policies,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Stabilization,Inequality,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT
