Calcul par ordinateur et techniques de fouille. Précisions sur le Kébarien ancien de Jiita (Liban)
No full textDifferent ways of factorial analysis have been utilised to check the stratigraphy recognised during the five years excavation in the Kebaran levels at Jiita II (Lebanon). Once the stratigraphy securely established, the same methods were used to isolate the various fades of this Kebaran. The result is that the early Kebaran of Jiita includes some aspects, characteristic enough to be distinguished, but their succession is rather quick. So it is necessary to follow a very precise and rigourous way of digging.Trois méthodes d'analyse factorielle ont été utilisées pour vérifier la stratigraphie observée durant cinq années de fouilles dans les niveaux Kébariens du gisement de Jiita II (Liban), puis, une fois la stratigraphie établie de façon sûre, pour déterminer les différents faciès de ce Kébarien ancien. Il apparaît ainsi que ce dernier comporte des aspects suffisamment caractéristiques pour pouvoir être distingués, mais que leur succession rapide exige, pour qu'on puisse les reconnaître, une méthode de fouille extrêmement rigoureuse.Hours F., Loiselet J.

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
Diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy: A study of Wolfram syndrome in the Lebanese population
No full textWolfram syndrome (WFS) is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disorder also known as DIDMOAD (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness). WFS seems to be a heterogeneous disease that has not yet been fully characterized in terms of clinical features and pathophysiological mechanisms because the number of patients in most series was small. In this study we describe 31 Lebanese WFS patients belonging to 17 families; this, to our knowledge, is the largest number of patients reported in one series so far. Criteria for diagnosis of WFS were the presence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy unexplained by any other disease. Central diabetes insipidus was found in 87percent of the patients, and sensorineural deafness confirmed by audiograms was present in 64.5percent. Other less frequent features included neurological and psychiatric abnormalities, urodynamic abnormalities, limited joint motility, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal autonomic neuropathy, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism in males, and diabetic microvascular disease. New features, not reported in previous descriptions, such as heart malformations and anterior pituitary dysfunction, were recognized in some of the patients and participated in the morbidity and mortality of the disease. Genetic analysis revealed WFS1 gene mutations in three families (23.5percent), whereas no abnormalities were detected in mitochondrial DNA. In conclusion, WFS is a devastating disease for the patients and their families. More information about WFS will lead to a better understanding of this disease and hopefully to improvement in means of its prevention and treatment.ALDENHOVEL HBG, 1991, NEUROPEDIATRICS, V22, P103; Al-Sheyyab M, 2001, EUR J PEDIATR, V160, P243, DOI 10.1007-s004310000704; BARRETT TG, 1995, LANCET, V346, P1458, DOI 10.1016-S0140-6736(95)92473-6; Barrett TG, 2000, J MED GENET, V37, P463, DOI 10.1136-jmg.37.6.463; Barrientos A, 1996, AM J HUM GENET, V58, P963; Barrientos A, 1996, J CLIN INVEST, V97, P1570, DOI 10.1172-JCI118581; Baz P, 1999, DIABETES CARE, V22, P1376; Bekir NA, 2000, ACTA OPHTHALMOL SCAN, V78, P480, DOI 10.1034-j.1600-0420.2000.078004480.x; BUNDEY S, 1992, J INHERIT METAB DIS, V15, P315, DOI 10.1007-BF02435965; Collier DA, 1996, AM J HUM GENET, V59, P855; COX RW, 1993, DIABETES CARE, V16, P662; CURADO FJA, 2000, ACTAS UROL ESP, V24, P504; El-Shanti H, 2000, AM J HUM GENET, V66, P1229, DOI 10.1086-302858; Evans KL, 2000, AM J MED GENET, V96, P158, DOI 10.1002-(SICI)1096-8628(20000403)96:2158::AID-AJMG63.0.CO;2-8; Genis D, 1997, ACTA NEUROPATHOL, V93, P426; Gomez-Zaera M, 2001, MOL GENET METAB, V72, P72, DOI 10.1006-mgme.2000.3107; GUNN T, 1976, J PEDIATR, V89, P565, DOI 10.1016-S0022-3476(76)80387-3; Gupta K L, 1994, J Assoc Physicians India, V42, P831; Hardy C, 1999, AM J HUM GENET, V65, P1279, DOI 10.1086-302609; HOFFMANN S, 1997, GENOMICS, V39, P8; HOMAN MR, 1987, DIABETES CARE, V10, P664; Inoue H, 1998, NAT GENET, V20, P143, DOI 10.1038-2441; Kato T, 2001, NEUROSCI RES, V40, P105, DOI 10.1016-S0168-0102(01)00221-8; KINSLEY BT, 1995, DIABETES CARE, V18, P1566, DOI 10.2337-diacare.18.12.1566; Krittiyawong Sirinate, 2000, Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, V83, P1283; Krolewski AS, 1996, ENDOCRIN METAB CLIN, V25, P217, DOI 10.1016-S0889-8529(05)70322-4; LEIVASANTANA C, 1993, REV NEUROL, V149, P26; LIM M C L, 1990, Annals Academy of Medicine Singapore, V19, P548; Middle F, 2000, AM J MED GENET, V96, P154, DOI 10.1002-(SICI)1096-8628(20000403)96:2154::AID-AJMG53.0.CO;2-F; Ohata T, 1998, HUM GENET, V103, P470, DOI 10.1007-s004390050852; POLYMEROPOULOS MH, 1994, NAT GENET, V8, P95, DOI 10.1038-ng0994-95; ROCCHINI AP, 1995, MOSS ADAMS HEART DIS, P43; Sam W, 2001, CLIN GENET, V59, P136, DOI 10.1034-j.1399-0004.2001.590214.x; Seshiah V, 1987, J Assoc Physicians India, V35, P528; SOLIMAN AT, 1995, ARCH DIS CHILD, V73, P251; Swift M, 2000, BIOL PSYCHIAT, V47, P787, DOI 10.1016-S0006-3223(00)00244-4; SWIFT RG, 1990, LANCET, V336, P667, DOI 10.1016-0140-6736(90)92157-D; Swift RG, 1998, MOL PSYCHIATR, V3, P86, DOI 10.1038-sj.mp.4000344; Takeda K, 2001, HUM MOL GENET, V10, P477, DOI 10.1093-hmg-10.5.477; Tanizawa Y, 2000, Rinsho Byori, V48, P941; Tekgul S, 1999, J UROLOGY, V161, P616, DOI 10.1016-S0022-5347(01)61982-7; Tessa A, 2001, Hum Mutat, V17, P348, DOI 10.1002-humu.32; Torres R, 2001, MOL PSYCHIATR, V6, P39, DOI 10.1038-sj.mp.4000787; Wolfram D.

The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
