Samuel Beckett and the Writers of Port-Royal
No full textIt has been observed that ‘the literary influences on Beckett have been far more important than has been acknowledged, and more important indeed, than the philosophical influences’ (Smith 2002: 3). The truth of this statement is evidenced by the description that scholars have given of Samuel Beckett’s relationship to seventeenth century French classicism. To date, critical interest has been limited for the most part to the figure of the philosopher René Descartes on the (fragile) grounds that Beckett was exclusively concerned with the Cartesian imperative of clarity and order, the fundamental dualism between body and mind, and Nominalism.
Together with the assumption that Beckett’s vision was essentially Cartesian, his literary filiation with Pascal was suggested by critics, but only in terms of Beckett’s formal approach to the theatre. In his short article on En attendant Godot in 1953, the playwright Jean Anouilh was among the first reviewers to suggest that Beckett’s drama synthesizes the encounter between ‘classicism’ and a ‘modern’ form of art. It is well known that Beckett retained a lifelong admiration for Pascal – indeed, Pascal was one of his ‘old chestnuts’ (Knowlson 1997: 653). Little attention has been paid, however, to the originality of Pascal’s thought, the specific nature of his prose, and the impact these might have had upon Beckett’s mature work, especially the trilogy and the subsequent short prose. Yet, in the literary and philosophical context of post-war France, Beckett’s filiation with Pascal, their corresponding preoccupations, were evident to his contemporaries, who identified Pascal as an underlying presence in his works
Déprise agricole et fermeture des paysages
No full textThe transformation of a village in Upper Jura over a century appears clearly on digital maps and images obtained from the crossing of various sources of information such as elevation models, cadastral surveys and enquiries. The same technical methods have been used to simulate future transformations of the landscape ; the resulting changes are clearly visible, especially as regards cross-country skiing paths.Le croisement de plusieurs sources d’information (modèles d’altitude, relevés cadastraux, enquêtes) permet de restituer, par la carte et l’image numériques, la façon dont le paysage d’une commune du Haut-Jura s’est modifié depuis plus d’un siècle. On arrive ensuite, avec les mêmes moyens techniques, à simuler l’évolution future du paysage. Les modifications visuelles qui en résultent, pour les itinéraires de ski de fond tout particulièrement, sont mises en évidence.El cruce de varias fuentes de información (modelos de altitud, levantamientos catastrales, encuestas) permite restituir, merced al mapa y a la imagen numérica, las modificaciones del paisaje de un municipio del Alto Jura desde hace más de un siglo. Luego es posible, con los mismos medios técnicos, simular la evolución futura del paisaje. Resaltan muy claramente las modificaciones visuales resultantes, especialmente en cuanto a los itinerarios de esquí de fondo.Brossard Thierry, Joly Daniel, Pierret Pascal.

L'analyse des trajectoires des exploitations agricoles. Une méthode pour actualiser les modèles typologiques et étudier l'évolution de l'agriculture locale
No full textTo be useful for extension services (farmers advising and agricultural policies orientation), farm typology must be updated regularly. Nevertheless, typology updating can't be reduced to build ex nihilo a new typology. First, the previous typology provides essential references to analyse farm trajectories and to caracterize local agricultural changes. Then, the elaboration of the new typology is mainly based on the results of this first analysis.Les typologies d'exploitations agricoles ne peuvent durablement jouer leur rôle au service du développement agricole (organisation du conseil aux producteurs et aide à la décision en matière de politiques agricoles et d'aménagement du territoire) que dans la mesure où elles sont régulièrement actualisées. Cependant, la remise à jour d'une typologie ne se ramène pas à la production ex nihilo d'une nouvelle image instantanée de la diversité des exploitations. La question ne se pose plus dans les mêmes termes, car l'information contenue dans la typologie initiale fournit une situation de référence et une grille d'analyse qui permettent de caractériser précisément l'évolution de la population locale des exploitations. Il devient ainsi possible de passer d'une analyse statique à une analyse dynamique, qui valorise plus complètement l'information disponible. Cet article présente les résultats d'une démarche récurrente consistant à développer à partir d'une typologie initiale une méthode d'étude des «trajectoires d'exploitations», puis à réactualiser le modèle typologique en s'appuyant sur les résultats de cette analyse.Perrot Christophe, Landais Etienne, Pierret Pascal.

First person - Aude Pascal
No full textInternational audienceFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Aude Pascal is first author on `Annexin A2 and Ahnak control cortical NuMA-dynein localization and mitotic spindle orientation', published in JCS. Aude is a research assistant in the lab of Re ' gis Giet at University of Rennes, France, who is particularly interested in developmental biology. She has always been struck by the fact that a whole organism displaying multiple functions arises from a single cell. For this reason, she has oriented her research on mitosis and meiosis to study the different steps, components and structures involved in these processes
Pascal Tutorial, 1987
No full textThere exists a limited number of tutorials for the Pascal programming language using the Apple Computer. The demand for these tutorials exceeds the supply. In this thesis an attempt was made to rectify this shortage by designing a Pascal tutorial for the Apple computer. This Pascal tutorial is designed to assist with instructing an introductory computer programming course in Pascal, incorporating Apple Superpilot as the authoring language. Emphasis is placed on making the program "user friendly." A person with no previous programming experience should be able to easily execute this tutorial. The information presented as the subject matter of the tutorial will follow the guidelines recommended by the Association for Computing Machinery
