Le phonème /r/ en franco-ontarien : réalisations et perceptions
No full textAli Reguigui inscrit son étude dans le cadre de la phonétique articulatoire et de la sociophonétique, fondée sur les données d’un questionnaire sociolinguistique recueillies auprès de sujets franco-ontariens. Il examine le cas de la consonne roulée alvéolaire voisée /r/ du latin, qui a persévéré en ancien français et moyen français jusqu’au xviie siècle dans les centres urbains, et jusqu’au xviiie siècle en général pour se faire remplacer par la consonne roulée uvulaire voisée, communément qualifiée de grasseyée et marquée comme variante de prestige en France. Au Québec, au début du xxe siècle, c’est le [r] roulé, associé à l’élite intellectuelle, qui était valorisé. Dévalorisée vers le milieu de ce siècle, cette variante est abandonnée par l’élite au profit de la variante grasseyée et elle marque de plus en plus le langage de la classe populaire. Ces perceptions se traduisent par des jugements de valeur ou des clichés sur l’usage de ces variantes. Qu’en est-il de l’usage et de la perception du phonème /r/ chez les Franco-Ontariens, une minorité bilingue qui vit en contact constant avec l’anglais ? Quelles sont leurs réalisations du phonème /r/ et quelles en sont leurs perceptions ? Cette étude apporte des réponses à ces questions

Recovering quantum correlations in classical environments without backaction: observation and interpretation
No full textQuantum correlations (entanglement, discord, nonlo-cality) present in a composite quantum system are essential resources for quantum information processing [1, 2]. However, the exploitation of these quantum resources is jeopardized by the detrimental effects of the environment surrounding the quantum system. For instance under Markovian noise, they decay asymptotically or disappear at a finite time [3, 4]. This drawback leads one to look for conditions where quantum correlations can be recovered during the evolution. To this aim non-Markovian noise, arising from strong couplings or structured environments, has been shown to be fundamental because of its memory effects. In fact, in the case of qubits in independent non-Markovian quantum environments, quantum corre- lations exhibit a combination of asymptotic decay with disappearance and revival [2, 5, 6], permitting their partial recovery and thus an extension of their use.
Typically, for composite quantum systems within inde- pendent quantum environments, revivals of quantum cor- relations are interpreted as due to correlation exchanges induced by the back-action of non-Markovian quantum environments on the system (flows of quantum informa- tion back and forth from systems to quantum environments) [8-11]. Recently, it has been shown that revivals of quantum correlations may also occur when the envi- ronment is classical, thus unable to store quantum corre- lations, and forbids system-environment back-action [12- 18]. This fact naturally leads to basic issues on the in- terpretation of back-action-free quantum revivals, in par- ticular about: (i) the role of a classical environment in reviving quantum correlations, for instance if it may act as a control system for what operation is applied to the qubits; (ii) the role of collective effects of the environ- ment on the qubits; (iii) the role of the memory effects; (iv) the role of possible system-environment correlations.
In this presentation, I first make a brief overview of some theoretical results about revivals of entanglement in classical environments. I describe a model of two nonin- teracting qubits, initially entangled, where only one qubit is subject to a random external classical field (a laser with two random phases) with inhomogeneous broadening in its amplitude [18]. I then report the results of an all- optical experiment that simulates this model and allows us to observe and control revivals of quantum correlations without system-environment back-action [18]. Finally, I
discuss about non-Markovianity and provide a possible interpretation showing the role of the classical environ- ment in this phenomenon.
The findings so far reveal that the revivals of quantum correlations are a dynamical feature of composite open systems irrespective of the nature, classical or quantum, of the environment. These results introduce the possibil- ity to recover and control, against decoherence, quantum resources even in absence of back-action, without resort- ing to demanding quantum structured environments or quantum error correction procedures and open the way to further studies concerning quantum correlation dynamics in classical environments.

Adoption and diffusion of no tillage practices in Southern Spain olive groves
No full textThis paper analyses the process of adoption of no tillage in South-eastern Spain’s olive groves. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain’s mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion, which is the main environmental problem for this crop, and have to incur in high costs of soil conservation. This results in a greater difficulty to comply with the practices required to benefit from both the single payment and agri-environmental schemes. In many high-steeped areas, farmers have opted for non-tillage practices as an alternative to other conservation practices. Using our own data from a survey carried out in 2006 among 215 olive tree farmers from the Granada Province in Southern Spain regarding the adoption of soil conservation and management practices, we model the diffusion process of no tillage practices using several specifications (logistic, Gompertz and exponential). We also estimate an ordered probit model to analyse which socio-economic and institutional factors determine the adoption of no tillage. Our results show that 90% of farmers in the area of study perform no tillage with either localized (21%) or no localized (69%) application of weedicides. The diffusion process of no tillage has been very intense since the middle nineties, and has been based on the interactions among farmers in the area of study rather than in external factors such as EU policies or extension services. Among other relevant factors that positively affect the adoption of no tillage practices in general, such as farm size and irrigation, the probability of a farmer adopting no tillage with non-localized application of weedicides increases when there is a relative that will continue with the farming activity, what causes the farmer to incorporate long term effects in his farming decisions, when the farmer is only a manager or when he bought the farm rather than inherited it (i.e. on more professionalized farms), and with his educational level. These results confirm some findings from previous studies in other nearby areas.Spanish olive groves, soil erosion, no tillage, Crop Production/Industries, Land Economics/Use,
Ties That Bind? The Parapublic Underpinnings of Franco-German Relations as Construction of International Value. CES Germany & Europe Working Paper no. 02.4, 2002
No full textBeneath the relations among states, and distinct from the exchanges of an autonomous regional or global civil society, there is another set of international practices which is neither public nor private but parapublic. The Franco-German parapublic underpinnings consist of publicly funded youth and educational exchanges, some two thousand city and regional partnerships, a host of institutes and associations concerned with Franco-German matters, and various other parapublic elements. This institutional reality provides resources, socializes the participants of its programs, and generates social meaning. Simultaneously, parapublic activity faces severe limits. In this paper I clarify the concept of “parapublic underpinnings” of international relations and flesh out their characteristics for the relationship between France and Germany. I then evaluate the effects and limits of this type of activity, and relate this paper’s findings and arguments to recent research on transnationalism, Europeanization, and denationalization

Albert Franco tells of his family's life on the Isle of Rhodes; why they left; how they came to Seattle. He tells of his father, Marco Franco's, achievements in business and of his father's extensive participation in community affairs, in the Sephardic community and in the community in general. He tells of his own education, his career as a lawyer, his war service in the Army Intelligence, and of his work in the community. He experienced discrimination by his fellow Jews when no Sephardic student could join a Jewish fraternity or sorority. This interview gives illuminating insights concerning the history of an early day Sephardic family and how a child who grew up in that era reacted as shown in his community work as as adult. His account of his father, Marco Franco, as a liaison between the various segments in the community is interesting.
