De l’imagerie médicale au renversement temporel
No full textJouant un rôle toujours croissant dans l’orientation et la géographie de l’économie comme dans la compétition entre les entreprises et entre les nations, les scientifiques participent de façon directe ou indirecte à des dynamiques collectives d’innovation et de transfert technologique. Mathias Fink nous fait revivre son parcours parfois semé d’embûches, mais toujours riche d’enseignements

Lotem albatrosa — Barton Fink jako artysta modernistyczny
No full textAS THE ALBATROSS FLIES — BARTON FINK AS A MODERNISTThe article is an attempt to present the titular character of the Coen brothers’ Barton Fink, viewed through the prism of the modernist paradigm. The author describes an internal conflict of an individualist writer, caused by the limitations imposed by Hollywood with the application of the concept of signifi cation systems. A modernist is defined in the original context of the term — the period of modernism. This is done on the basis of 19th-century psychology essays Z psychologii jednostki twórczej by Stanisław Przybyszewski and Forpoczty ewolucyi psychicznej i troglodyci by Wacław Nałkowski as well as on Charles Baudelaire’s The Albatross, to which numerous concealed references are found in the Coens’ film. The article is concluded with an attempt to interpret the film in respect of the modernist’s profile and the symbolism of an albatross.Translated by Krzysztof KucharczykAS THE ALBATROSS FLIES — BARTON FINK AS A MODERNISTThe article is an attempt to present the titular character of the Coen brothers’ Barton Fink, viewed through the prism of the modernist paradigm.

Functional ultrasound imaging of the brain
No full textWe present functional ultrasound (fUS), a method for imaging transient changes in blood volume in the whole brain at better spatiotemporal resolution than with other functional brain imaging modalities. fUS uses plane-wave illumination at high frame rate and can measure blood volumes in smaller vessels than previous ultrasound methods. fUS identifies regions of brain activation and was used to image whisker-evoked cortical and thalamic responses and the propagation of epileptiform seizures in the rat brain
Il cane ebreo (storie di animali nella Shoà e altrove a partire da tre racconti di Ida Fink)
No full textIn the first part of the article the author focuses on the Polish-Israeli writer Ida Fink. Follows a short panorama on how some outstanding Jewish writers, Fink included, described animals as protagonist – or co-protagonists – of their narratives of the Holocaust. A further chapter is devoted to Fink’s ambivalent position as a representative both of the international literature of the Holocaust and of Polish literature. Although Fink has been generally considered a «Jewish» or even an «Israeli» writer, here her work is presented with a strong accent on her liaisons with her first motherland’s literature, and especially with the great Polish writer Zofia Nałkowska. Affinities between the two women-writers emerges with particular evidence, according to the author, in the narrative strategies chosen by them to represent the Holocaust and the suffering of animals
Željka Fink-Arsovski, Poredbena frazeologija: pogled izvana i iznutra (Zagreb 2002)
No full textThe article presents a book by Željka Fink-Arsovski which brings an exhaustive discussion on the rich corpus of the comparative phrasemes in the Croatian language from several viewpoints. The author also provides Russian structural and semantic equivalents of these phrasemes and so she draws attention to what is common and what is different in these two Slavic languages.V prispevku je predstavitev knjige Željke Fink-Arsovski, ki z mnogih vidikov izčrpno obdela bogato gradivo primerjalnih frazemov hrvaškega jezika, za katere navaja še strukturne in pomenske ustreznike v ruščini ter tako opozarja na stične točke in posebnosti obeh slovanskih jezikov
VISCOELASTIC AND ANISOTROPIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF IN VIVO MUSCLE TISSUE ASSESSED BY SUPERSONIC SHEAR IMAGING
No full textThe in vivo assessment of the biomechanical properties of the skeletal muscle is a complex issue because the muscle is an anisotropic, viscoelastic and dynamic medium. In this article, these mechanical properties are characterized for the brachialis muscle in vivo using a noninvasive ultrasound-based technique. This supersonic shear imaging technique combines an ultra-fast ultrasonic system and the remote generation of transient mechanical forces into tissue via the radiation force of focused ultrasonic beams. Such an ultrasonic radiation force is induced deep within the muscle by a conventional ultrasonic probe and the resulting shear waves are then imaged with the same probe (5 MHz) at an ultra-fast framerate (up to 5000 frames/s). Local tissue velocity maps are obtained with a conventional speckle tracking technique and provide a full movie of the shear wave propagation through the entire muscle. Shear wave group velocities are then estimated using a time of flight algorithm. This approach provides a complete set of quantitative and in vivo parameters describing the muscle's mechanical properties as a function of active voluntary contraction as well as passive extension of healthy volunteers. Anisotropic properties are also estimated by tilting the probe head with respects to the main muscular fibers direction. Finally, the dispersion of the shear waves is studied for these different configurations and shear modulus and shear viscosity are quantitatively assessed assuming the viscoelastic Voigt's model.

Functional Ultrasound Imaging of the Brain: Theory and Basic Principles
No full textHemodynamic changes in the brain are often used as surrogates of neuronal activity to infer the loci of brain activity. A major limitation of conventional Doppler ultrasound for the imaging of these changes is that it is not sensitive enough to detect the blood flow in small vessels where the major part of the hemodynamic response occurs. Here, we present a mu Doppler ultrasound method able to detect and map the cerebral blood volume (CBV) over the entire brain with an important increase in sensitivity. This method is based on imaging the brain at an ultrafast frame rate (1 kHz) using compounded plane wave emissions. A theoretical model demonstrates that the gain in sensitivity of the mu Doppler method is due to the combination of 1) the high signal-to-noise ratio of the gray scale images, resulting from the synthetic compounding of backscattered echoes; and 2) the extensive signal averaging enabled by the high temporal sampling of ultrafast frame rates. This mu Doppler imaging is performed in vivo on trepanned rats without the use of contrast agents. The resulting images reveal detailed maps of the rat brain vascularization with an acquisition time as short as 320 ms per slice. This new method is the basis for a real-time functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging of the brain
