Une famille méconnue : les Gain-Rouch
No full textEn 2001, la demande d’un professeur de Papeete spécialiste de la Polynésie recherchant des documents sur un certain André Gain, auteur de Au jardin des mers (1942), m’a fait exhumer les archives oubliées de mon beau-père Pierre Gain, son frère. J’ai découvert, outre André, quatre scientifiques-explorateurs : Gustave Gain, leur père (1876-1945), chimiste, professeur au Muséum d’histoire naturelle et photographe d’autochromes, son frère Louis (1883-1963), naturaliste de Charcot dans l’Antarctique en 1908-1910, leur beau-frère Jules Rouch (1884-1974), officier de marine de Charcot, météorologue et écrivain, et son fils Jean Rouch (1917-2004), le célèbre cinéaste-ethnologue. Commence alors une aventure qui m’a conduite du Cap Horn au Niger, puis de musées en musées, mettant en lumière des fonds exceptionnels : plus de 20 000 photographies, 120 films, des livres, communications et articles de presse. Huit ouvrages, de nombreuses expositions et conférences m’ont amenée à sortir de l’oubli cette famille aujourd’hui éteinte.Merle des Isles Marie-Isabelle. Une famille méconnue : les Gain-Rouch.

Cut-elimination, substitution and normalisation
No full textDate of Acceptance: 01/2015We present a proof (of the main parts of which there is a formal version, checked with the Isabelle proof assistant) that, for a G3-style calculus covering all of intuitionistic zero-order logic, with an associated term calculus, and with a particular strongly normalising and confluent system of cut-reduction rules, every reduction step has, as its natural deduction translation, a sequence of zero or more reduction steps (detour reductions, permutation reductions or simplifications). This complements and (we believe) clarifies earlier work by (e.g.) Zucker and Pottinger on a question raised in 1971 by Kreisel.Peer reviewe
Retour sur L’Histoire à venir : Écrire en commun (XVIe-XXIe siècles)
No full textPar Isabelle Lacoue-Labarthe, Sylvie Mouysset et Marine Rouch Aujourd’hui, deux adjectifs ont singulièrement le vent en poupe : interactif et collaboratif. L’acte d’écrire n’échappe pas à cette injonction, et l’on a alors tendance à considérer le partage des savoirs comme une grande nouveauté, aussi bien technique que déontologique. Or l’écriture à plusieurs mains a une histoire longue. Du roman de Renart à l’Encyclopédie de Diderot et D’Alembert, du livre de raison au blog de recherche, du ..
I remember teaching English at Seabrook
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Isabell Waugh, a former teacher at Seabrook, compares and constrasts the different groups of students she taught. She remembers that native-born American teenagers tended to be more concerned with athletics and social activities, than academic matters. In comparison, Estonian and Japanese parents did not tolerate low academic performance, so students from the two groups often competed intensely with each other for academic achievement and recognition. Isabelle recalls that the Estonians were, in general, more sophisticated and better educated. Most of the children knew 3-5 languages, and were more advanced in math and science. She sensed that some Estonian parents felt that their homes at Seabrook were temporary, and that they would be returning to Estonia at some point. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
Marie-Isabelle Merle des Isles, Destins d’explorateurs de l’Antarctique à l’Asie centrale, 1908-1950
No full textQu’est-ce qui décide d’une vocation ? Qu’est-ce qui, dans une enfance, oriente un destin ? Telles sont les questions qui servent de fil rouge au beau livre de Marie-Isabelle Merle des Isles, qui s’ouvre et se clôt sur l’évocation des travaux picturaux et scientifiques de Jean Rouch. Ethnologue et cinéaste, mais aussi photographe et dessinateur de talent, celui-ci avait reçu, à l’origine, une formation d’ingénieur du génie civil et rien, dans son orientation professionnelle, ne le destinait à ..

Isabelle Bell to Susan Niemcewicz, December 23, 1800
No full textIsabelle Bell wrote to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Bell expressed her disappointment in not receiving a line from Susan. She sent Bell Lucretia Rephans subscription epistle, but Susan refrained from writing a letter to her. Bell did not execute any of Susan’s commissions in New York because her time there was short. Miss Resham heard that Mr. B Livingston told his sister, Mrs. J. Livingston that he would offer Bell a salary to live in his house and take charge of his children’s education. Asked if Susan what she thought of her being an author and if Susan would subscribe to a small volume that may have the good fortune to rival the poems of the immortal Scarron.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1143/thumbnail.jp

Formalization of Isabelle Meta Logic in NuPRL
No full textNuPRL and Isabelle are two general purpose theorem provers. Both of them are based on a version of Constructive Higher Order Type Theory. In an earlier work the author has proposed an informal semantics of Isabelle Meta Logic in an extension of NuPRL Type Theory. An automated converter, based on this semantics, has been developed, that translates Isabelle theorem statements into NuPRL. This work presents a formalization of the above semantics in NuPRL. It starts with a deep embedding of Isabelle type and term syntax into NuPRL Constructive Type Theory. Next, two internal NuPRL functions are defined. One of them maps Isabelle types into NuPRL types and the other maps Isabelle terms into elements of appropriate NuPRL types. These two functions provide an interpretation of Isabelle in NuPRL. Finally, interpretations of all Isabelle Meta Logic rules are proven as theorems in some classical extension of NuPRL Type Theory. This formalization is aimed to provide a more secure foundation for the interaction between two systems
Experiences with a new biplanar low-dose X-ray device for imaging the facial skeleton: A feasibility study
No full textMethods We evaluated 48 biplanar radiographs from 12 patients (posteroanterior/lateral), originally taken for a scoliosis examination with a biplanar low-dose X-ray device. For this study, the images were further evaluated for the perceptibility of 38 facial skeleton landmarks. To determine the reliability and reproducibility of perceptibility, two independent observers determined the landmarks twice, during a time interval of at least two weeks. Results Both interoperator and intraoperator reliability were excellent for all landmarks [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) > 0.92]. Conclusions The biplanar low-dose X-ray device demonstrated good feasibility for precisely assessing the anatomical landmarks of the facial skeleton. Given its excellent precision, the biplanar low-dose X-ray device data sets should be forwarded from the treating orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon to the orthodontist or dentist for further assessment in their field.For this study, no author has received any funding. During the time this retrospective study took place, the institute/laboratory in which Prof. P. Rouch works and Dr. A. Laville worked received funding from the EOS-Imaging company for other EOS studies. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript
