Morvan syndrome following B-cell lymphoma
No full textMorvan syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease named after the French physician Augustin Marie Morvan. It is characterized by multiple, irregular contractions of the long muscles, weakness, pruritus, hyperhidrosis, insomnia, and delirium. Here, we describe a 17-year-old young man, previously diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, who presented with multiple asynchronous fasciculations of the long muscles of his lower extremities accompanied by numbness. The patient responded initially to pulse corticosteroids with diminution of the fasciculations. He achieved complete remission following 7 consecutive, monthly intravenous immunoglobulin injections. The present case is described in the context of the available literature. © The Author(s) 2010.Barber PA, 2000, NEUROLOGY, V54, P771; FISCHERP.C, 1974, REV NEUROL, V130, P111; GIL R, 1984, REV NEUROL, V140, P728; HALBACH M, 1987, J NEUROL, V234, P433, DOI 10.1007-BF00314093; HAUG BA, 1989, CLIN NEUROL NEUROSUR, V91, P53, DOI 10.1016-S0303-8467(89)80008-3; IWASAKI Y, 1990, EUR ARCH PSY CLIN N, V239, P335, DOI 10.1007-BF01735061; Josephs KA, 2004, J CLIN NEUROPHYSIOL, V21, P440, DOI 10.1097-00004691-200411000-00008; Kimura J., 1989, ELECTRODIAGNOSIS DIS; Lee EK, 1998, J NEUROL NEUROSUR PS, V65, P857, DOI 10.1136-jnnp.65.6.857; Liguori R, 2001, BRAIN, V124, P2417, DOI 10.1093-brain-124.12.2417; Madrid A, 1996, J NEUROL, V243, P350, DOI 10.1007-BF00868410; Morvan A., 1890, GAZ HEBD MED CHIR, V27, P173; VERNAY D, 1986, ARTHRITIS RHEUM, V29, P1413, DOI 10.1002-art.17802911190
Skyrmion-skyrmion and skyrmion-edge repulsions in skyrmion-based racetrack memory
No full textMagnetic skyrmions are promising for building next-generation magnetic memories and spintronic devices due to their stability, small size and the extremely low currents needed to move them. In particular, skyrmion-based racetrack memory is attractive for information technology, where skyrmions are used to store information as data bits instead of traditional domain walls. Here we numerically demonstrate the impacts of skyrmion-skyrmion and skyrmion-edge repulsions on the feasibility of skyrmion-based racetrack memory. The reliable and practicable spacing between consecutive skyrmionic bits on the racetrack as well as the ability to adjust it are investigated. Clogging of skyrmionic bits is found at the end of the racetrack, leading to the reduction of skyrmion size. Further, we demonstrate an effective and simple method to avoid the clogging of skyrmionic bits, which ensures the elimination of skyrmionic bits beyond the reading element. Our results give guidance for the design and development of future skyrmion-based racetrack memory
Comportements révolutionnaires en Morvan Central au milieu du XIXe siècle : structures foncières, sociales et mentales. Souvenirs de l'Ancien Régime et de la Révolution.
No full textDifferents forms of revolutionary action spring up in the Central Morvan area in the mid-nineteenth century and in particular under the Second Republic. The author explains these both by the change of political régime and by the circumstances of the economic depression which hit agriculture and even more forestry. But the study also stresses, as a part of any explanation, the importance of the very unequalitarian land structures, the small farmers and the poor are predominant by their very numbers and to understand these phenomena, their fierce indépendance has to be taken into account. The article evokes the nature of these actions: rural peurs, the taxing of corn, conflicts over the forest, actions against the nobles.
But the many memories of the great Revolution must also be taken into account as 1789 and 1793 remained in the collective memory of simple people; they were revived and recalled by the village leaders from 1848 to 1851. In the main, this nineteenth century revolution is a repetition of the 1789 one, This is revealed by the development of the people's actions in a more and more revolutionary direction.Des comportements révolutionnaires ont ressurgi sous diverses formes dans le Morvan central au milieu du XIXe siècle, en particulier sous la Seconde République. L'auteur en donne l'explication, tant par le changement de régime politique et par la conjoncture de crise affectant les secteurs agricole et surtout forestier. Mais le poids de structures foncières très inégalitaires, faisant dominer numériquement les petits et les pauvres, à la mentalité de farouche indépendance est aussi à invoquer pour comprendre ces phénomènes. On en évoque la nature : peurs, taxations des grains, conflits forestiers, actions antinobiliaires.
Mais il faut également faire appel aux nombreux souvenirs de la grande Révolution — 1789 et 1793 — conservés dans la mémoire collective des petites gens, ravivés et rappelés par les leaders villageois de 1848 à 1851. Cette révolution du XIXe siècle est en grande partie une répétition de celle de 1789, l'évolution des comportements populaires dans un sens révolutionnaire de plus en plus prononcé en témoigne.Vigreux Marcel.

Deux exemples de traduction à l’oreille par Françoise Morvan : Le Bord du monde de Shel Silverstein et Le Petit Brown d’Isobel Harris
No full textCet article traite de la traduction en français par Françoise Morvan de deux ouvrages de jeunesse écrits en anglais, Where the Sidewalk Ends de Shel Silverstein (1974) et Little Boy Brown d’Isobel Harris (1949).Le premier ouvrage, un recueil de poèmes illustré par l’auteur lui-même, donne à entendre une langue savoureuse qui exalte les sonorités propres à l’anglais et qui, dans l’esprit des limericks d’Edward Lear, déjoue le sens pour mieux goûter au plaisir de la rime. Le deuxième, un album d’Isobel Harris, illustré par André François, relate à la première personne l’histoire du « Petit Brown ». La narration, celle d’un enfant de quatre ans et demi, emprunte certains motifs au langage enfantin sans pour autant en adopter les tournures convenues. La lecture de ces deux ouvrages rend compte de la singularité de l’écriture des deux auteurs et de l’importance qu’ils accordent à l’oralité. Nous chercherons ici à savoir comment le texte traduit peut transposer une telle créativité. Françoise Morvan, la traductrice de ces deux textes, a su à force de répétitions bienvenues, d’inversions ajustées et de trouvailles langagières trouver en français les ressources nécessaires pour ce faire. Ainsi, nous examinerons à l’aide d’exemples précis comment elle a restitué le grain du texte et produit une traduction détonante et ciselée.This article deals with two translations by Françoise Morvan from English into French: Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein (1974) and Little Boy Brown by Isobel Harris (1949).The first book, a collection of poems illustrated by the author himself, is written in a delightful language which revels in the English sounds and which, very much in the spirit of Edward Lear’s limericks, prefers rhyme over meaning. The second book, written by Isobel Harris and illustrated by André François, relates the story of “Little Brown”. The narrative, that of a four-and-a-half-year-old child, borrows childish language patterns without ever using conventional turns of phrase. The experience of reading these two books shows the singularity of their authors’ writing and the importance they attach to oral language. We shall investigate how translation transposes such creativity. Françoise Morvan, who translated both books, has managed to do so through well-chosen repetitions, tailored inversions and coinages. Thus, we shall study precise examples to prove how she recreated texture and produced a clashing yet finely chiselled translation

Uma solução de autenticação fim a fim para o LDP (Label Distribution Protocol)
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Computação.Este trabalho propõe uma solução de autenticação para o protocolo LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) que tem por objetivo autenticar, em um escopo fim a fim, o estabelecimento de um LSP (Label Switching Path) entre um LSR (Label Switching Router) de Ingresso e o seu respectivo LSR de Egresso. Objetiva-se suprir a deficiência do protocolo LDP de não possuir um mecanismo de autenticação fim a fim definido, aplicável entre LSRs não-adjacentes. Conforme foi verificado pelo levantamento de trabalhos correlatos, atualmente é desconhecida uma solução de autenticação semelhante, que efetivamente atenda o propósito de autenticar num escopo fim a fim, o estabelecimento de LSPs no protocolo LDP. Dessa forma a solução deste trabalho é inédita no seu escopo de aplicação. A solução foi planejada para ambientes onde LSPs atravessam múltiplos domínios externos, não confiáveis entre si, e que por isso necessitam de um mecanismo de autenticação durante o estabelecimento dos LSPs. A solução faz uso de um mecanismo de autenticação, baseado em criptografia assimétrica (chave pública e privada), anexado a cada mensagem LDP. Este mecanismo possibilita ao LSR receptor verificar e autenticar o originador da mensagem LDP. Adicionalmente a solução provê integridade de dados através de um mecanismo de resumo de mensagens (hash) e também protege contra ataques de repetição através da inserção de um nonce às mensagens LDP

An irreducible plural: Franciscan observances in Europe (15th century)
No full textThe paper argues that within the Franciscan Order, the question of regular Observance raised specific problems which are unknown in the other religious orders. It highlights the place of Observance within Franciscan history (and the issue of 'fidelity' to Francis and to the Rule) and discusses the various Franciscan reactions to the demand of a strictior observantia of the Rule (beyond the traditional regularis observantia). The paper underscores the main trends of historiography on the Observance, from chronicles and literature of the fifteenth century to the ecclesiastical erudition of the Early Modern Age, up to the most recent historiography. The author suggests that, above all when considering Franciscan Observance at a European scale, it is appropriate to speak in plural of Franciscan observances. Considering a wide variety of sources (both documentary and literary), the author reflects on the very meaning of 'observance' in the context of Franciscan history. She then defines the characteristics of Observant spirituality, with a clear distinction between the Italici patres (and the Cismontanian area entrusted to them) and the other European contexts, mainly beyond the Alps.Il contributo chiarisce in apertura tre aspetti: la specificità della questione dell’osservanza entro l’Ordine dei Minori (distinguendo tra il problema secolare dell’osservanza della Regola e lo sviluppo di diversi movimenti di Osservanza per la riforma dell’Ordine); l’arco cronologico indagato: dalle Costituzioni Farineriane del 1354 (alveo giuridico entro cui si sviluppa l’Osservanza come movimento) alla Ite vos di Leone X (1517), che riunisce i diversi rami delle Osservanze francescane separandole giuridicamente dall’Ordine e attribuendogli la qualifica di Ordo fratrum Minorum (distinta dai Minori conventuali); le differenze strutturali che segnano l’organizzazione (ma anche il rapporto con l’Ordine) dell’Osservanza citramontana (sub ministriis) e Cismontana (sub vicariis). Insecondo luogo traccia a grandi linee la storiografia sull’Osservanza distinguendo tre periodi: i secoli XV e XVI; l’erudizione ecclesiastica dell’Età moderna; la storiografia contemporanea con particolare attenzione ai cambiamenti di indirizzo prodotti a partire agli anni Settanta del Novecento. Dopo una sommaria rassegna della tipologia delle fonti letterarie e documentarie, il contributo presenta una proposta di lettura della natura e dei significati che assume la riforma osservante entro l’Ordine dei Minori: significati e valenze storiche assai diversificate per aree e per periodi, e che travalicano ampiamente i confini della storia religiosa in senso stretto. Il percorso dimostra ampiamente il motivo per cui l’Osservanza minoritica – per gli specifici problemi secolari posti dall’osservanza della Regola di Francesco – non ebbe una facies unitaria, configurandosi piuttosto come un irriducibile plurale
Velocity Calibration of Doppler Current Profiler Transducers
No full textDoppler current profilers are used in oceanography to measure oceanic circulation but also in hydrology to calculate the flow of rivers. They allow the retrieval of water mass profiles in terms of velocity and direction. Direction is obtained via an electronic compass and tilt sensors, while velocity is obtained by measuring Doppler pulse shifts back-scattered by particles located in water cells allocated along the instrument’s measurement range. Current meters are usually tested in towing basins or hydrodynamic channels, but these facilities present limits in terms of the measurement range, particles concentration and time costs. This paper presents a novel method developed to test the trueness of these velocity measurements in the laboratory, along with the uncertainty of this test and the results obtained with current meters and stand-alone profilers. The method is based on the measurement of the frequency of pulses emitted by each transducer of the instrument independently, and on the simulation of received echoes by a variable frequency sinusoidal signal
