Pour une lecture épigraphique d'Aïlen ou la nuit du récit , Edmond Amran El Maleh
L’oeuvre d’Edmond Amran el-Maleh est imprégnée d’une mémoire juive et arabe qui célèbre la symbiose culturelle d’un Maroc arabe, berbère, juif. Cette unicité mémorielle est présentée aux lecteurs européens grâce à un travail sur la langue remarquable construit autour d’un schéma narratif arabe : « Écrivant en français, je savais que je n’écrivais pas en français. Il y avait cette singulière greffe d’une langue sur l’autre, ma langue maternelle l’arabe, ce feu intérieur. » Edmond Amran el-Male..
Efficient Static Compaction Techniques for Sequential Circuits Based on Reverse-Order Restoration and Test Relaxation
The paper present efficient reverse-order-restoration (ROR)-based static test compaction techniques for synchronous sequential circuits. Unlike previous ROR techniques that rely on vector-by-vector fault-simulation-based restoration of test subsequences, the authors’ technique restores test sequences based on efficient test relaxation. The restored test subsequence can be either concatenated to the compacted test sequence, as in previous approaches, or merged with it. Furthermore, it allows the removal of redundant vectors from the restored subsequences using a state traversal technique and incorporates schemes for increasing the fault coverage of restored test subsequences to achieve an overall higher level of compaction. In addition, test relaxation is used to take ROR out of saturation. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques

Autopsie de la mémoire fuyante dans "Mille ans, un jour" d’Edmond Amran El Maleh
The impossibility of grasping memory in modern literature is tantamount to the dispersion of the subject. A subject in search of himself from a liquid memory based on the principle of lability and looking for landmarks to solidify himself. This modernity is a revolution that has not been without its challenges. Proof of this can be found in the writings of Edmond Arman El Maleh, a French-speaking Moroccan writer, where the fragmentary takes over. We find new techniques resulting from an imagination led towards vagueness that informs about the previous reality of the writer. In A thousand years, one day, for example, all the new components obey sensory nuances that punctuate the space of the Malehian lie-true. The lack of precision and life in spaces between dreams and hallucinations is recovered by a sensory memory that calls us to order.L’impossible saisie de la mémoire dans la littérature moderne équivaut à la dispersion du sujet. Un sujet en quête de lui-même à partir d’une mémoire liquide reposant sur le principe de labilité et cherchant des repères pour se solidifier. Cette modernité constitue une révolution qui ne s’est pas faite sans heurts. A preuve les écrits d’Edmond Arman El Maleh, écrivain marocain d’expression française, où le fragmentaire prend le dessus. On y trouve de nouvelles techniques issues d’une imagination emmenée vers le flou qui renseigne sur la réalité antérieure de celui qui écrit. Dans Mille ans, un jour, à titre d’exemple, toutes les composantes nouvelles obéissent à des nuances sensorielles qui jalonnent l’espace du mentir-vrai malehien. Le Manque de précision et la vie dans des espaces entre rêve et hallucination est récupéré par une mémoire sensorielle qui rappelle à l’ordre. La imposibilidad de aprehender la memoria en la literatura moderna equivale a la dispersión del sujeto. Un sujeto en busca de sí mismo a partir de una memoria líquida basada en el principio de labilidad y en busca de hitos para solidificarse. Esta modernidad es una revolución que no ha estado exenta de desafíos. Prueba de ello son los escritos de Edmond Arman El Maleh, escritor marroquí francófono, donde lo fragmentario toma el relevo. Encontramos nuevas técnicas fruto de una imaginación conducida hacia la vaguedad que informa sobre la realidad previa del escritor. En Mil años, un día, por ejemplo, todos los nuevos componentes obedecen a matices sensoriales que puntúan el espacio de la mentira malehiana.

Defect-tolerant N2-transistor structure for reliable nanoelectronic designs
Nanodevices based circuit design will be based on the acceptance that a high percentage of devices in the design will be defective. In this work, we investigate a defect tolerant technique that adds redundancy at the transistor level and provides built-in immunity to permanent defects (stuck-open, stuck-short and bridges). The proposed technique is based on replacing each transistor by N2-transistor structure (N≥2) that guarantees defect tolerance of all N-1 defects as validated by theoretical analysis and simulation. As demonstrated by extensive simulation results using ISCAS 85 and 89 benchmark circuits, the investigated technique achieves significantly higher defect tolerance than recently reported nanoelectronics defect-tolerant techniques (even with up to 4 to 5 times more transistor defect probability) and at reduced area overhead. For example, the quadded-transistor structure technique requires nearly half the area of the quadded logic technique
Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
In 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow
Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
Direct numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
La 'circunstancia' de 'Herederos y Pretendientes
In June 2010, the Ortega y Gasset Foundation hosted a Conference about the “Spanish Philosophical Transition” in order to debate the book of Francisco Vázquez, La filosofía española. Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó
The Multiplier Effect on the Dissemination of False Speeches on Social Networks: Experiment during the Silly Season in Spain
Fake News in the media and on social networks have grown exponentially in recent years, forming part of the new strategies of political communication and the dissemination of hate speech. The present work demonstrates in an experimental way the ease of creating and spreading fake news on social networks by putting into circulation, with the collaboration of the TYC communication agency, four false news on different topics without connection to the current news of the moment, following the typology of the so-called summer snakes, during the silly season. Existing profiles on social networks were used, especially on Twitter, as well as the collaboration of influencers for their dissemination. Likewise, complementary online actions were used to analyze the multiplication of reach and interaction, both organically and promoted. The findings confirm the ease of generating and disseminating disinformation on these channels, the high organic interaction obtained, but even more the formidable multiplier effect of up to 10 times its reach thanks to the false content promotion options offered by digital platforms based on a moderate investment in advertising, which is an additional element of controversy on the issue of disinformation in the digital field.Depto. de Teorías y Análisis de la ComunicaciónDepto. de Periodismo y Comunicación GlobalDepto. de Periodismo y Nuevos MediosFac. de Ciencias de la InformaciónTRUEpu
Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
BACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature
