Measurement of the and production cross sections in multilepton final states using 3.2 fb of collisions at = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textSee paper for full list of authors - 22 pages plus author list + cover page (40 pages total), 8 figures, 5 tables. Submitted to Eur. Phys. J. C. All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/TOPQ-2015-22/International audienceA measurement of the and production cross sections in final states with either two same-charge muons, or three or four leptons (electrons or muons) is presented. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb. The inclusive cross sections are extracted using likelihood fits to signal and control regions, resulting in pb and pb, in agreement with the Standard Model predictions
UNAFLOW project: UNsteady Aerodynamics of FLOating Wind turbines
No full textUNAFLOW (UNsteady Aerodynamics for Floating Wind) is a joint EU-IRPWIND founded experiment on wind turbine rotor unsteady aerodynamics. It brings together four different academic contributors: Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), DTU Wind Energy, University of Stuttgart (USTUTT) and Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi) sharing knowledge both in numerical modelling and in experimental tests design, allowing direct numerical and experimental comparison. The experimental tests carried out for UNAFLOW are of the same type of the ones carried out during the ongoing EU H2020 project LIFES50+ [1], regarding both the unsteady behaviour of the 2d blade section and the entire turbine rotor, although with improved setup and wider test matrix. The project partners are already currently jointly collaborating in the AVATAR project [2], developing and validating numerical models of different accuracy level. The numerical models used in the UNALFOW project range from engineering tool (eg. BEM) to high fidelity CFD methods. Numerical simulations are used both in the design of experiment phase and in the results analysis allowing for an in depth understanding of the experimental findings through advanced modelling approach. The UNAFLOW project, together with a new understanding of the unsteady behaviour of the turbine rotor aerodynamics, will provide also an open database to be shared among the scientific community for future analysis and new models validation
Structure and development of an axial volcanic ridge: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 45°N
No full textWe describe the most comprehensive and detailed high resolution survey of an axial volcanic ridge (AVR) ever conducted, at 45°N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. We use 3 m resolution sidescan sonar, deep-towed magnetic field measurements, video observations from eleven ROV dives, and two very-high-resolution bathymetry and magnetic surveys. The most recently active AVR has high topographic relief, high acoustic backscatter, high crustal magnetization and little faulting. It is sharp-crested, 25 × 4 km in extent and 500 m high, and is covered by approximately 8000 volcanic “hummocks” whose detailed nature is revealed for the first time. Each is an individual volcano ? 450 m in diameter and ? 200 m high, ranging from steep-sided (45°) cones to low domes. Many have suffered significant flank collapse. Hummocks tend to align in rows parallel to the AVR axis, parallel to its NE-trending spurs or, on its lower flanks, sub-normal to the AVR trend. These latter are spaced 1–2 km apart and comprise 1–2 km-long rows of single volcanoes. We infer that their emplacement is controlled by down-flank magma transport, possibly via lava tubes. The AVR contains only one large flat-topped seamount. The flanking median valley floor consists of either older hummocky volcanic terrain or flat-lying, mostly sediment-covered lavas. These typically have low-relief lobate surfaces, inflation and collapse structures, and occasional lava tubes and tumuli. The AVR displays open fissures, mostly along its crest. There is direct evidence for only a few small faults on the AVR, though steep, outward-facing slopes draped by elongate pillows may be small normal faults covered by lava. The surrounding median valley floor is heavily fissured. Normal faults cut it and an older AVR, the latter displaying significant outward facing faults. High crustal magnetization, an approximate proxy for crustal age within the Brunhes, is confined to the active AVR. Magnetic palaeointensity measurements are consistent with ages up to ~ 12 ka for several samples from the active AVR and ? 12 ka for one sample from the median valley floor. This is much less than the predicted spreading age, implying distribution of melt off-axis or episodic AVR growth
La cartographie participative comme outil d'aide à la compréhension des dynamiques territoriales : application sur un terrain de Basse Casamance (Sénégal)

La cartographie participative comme outil d'aide à la compréhension des dynamiques territoriales : application sur un terrain de Basse Casamance (Sénégal). In : Cormier Salem Marie-Christine (ed.), Descroix Luc (ed.), Diakhate M.M. (ed.) Sciences participatives, gouvernance des patrimoines et territoires des deltas : actes du colloque international du Laboratoire Mixte International "Patrimoines et Territoires de l'Eau" du 11 au 14 mai 2016 à l'Université Gaston Berger de Saint-Louis du Sénégal. Résumé L'objectif de cet article est de montrer la contribution de la cartographie participative, réalisée dans la commune rurale de Diembéring au Sud-Ouest du Sénégal, dans la compréhension des dynamiques territoriales dans des zones littorales aux enjeux multiples liés à de fortes contraintes et/ou opportunités. A travers cette méthode, nous avons cherché à connaître l'organisation (passée et actuelle) des espaces villageois et leurs usages à partir des cartes de terroirs réalisées par les populations locales elles-mêmes et des entretiens collectifs et/ou individuels dans les localités de Diembéring et de Cabrousse. Ce travail a permis de faire émerger les savoirs et savoir-faire traditionnels des communautés villageoises en termes de représentation de leurs espaces mais aussi de connaissances sur des questions difficiles à appréhender avec des enquêtes de terrain habituelles. Couplée avec d'autres outils d'enquêtes (entretiens, transects, profils historiques, calendrier agricole …), la cartographie participative a permis de mettre en évidence les difficultés que traverse la riziculture en Casamance, une activité séculaire soumise depuis quelques décennies à de fortes contraintes à la fois biophysiques et socioéconomiques. L'analyse des données collectées sur le terrain a révélé une partie de la longue histoire des terroirs villageois étudiés, leur dynamique en termes d'occupation de l'espace et de ses usages, les grandes questions actuelles et à venir, et conduit à s'interroger sur la viabilité des systèmes à usage multiple. Cette étude de recherche développement vise à aider les communautés locales à formuler et à transmettre leurs savoirs aux autres acteurs et à développer leurs capacités en termes de connaissances de leurs terroirs et de stratégies de plaidoyer (engagement de dialogue multidimensionnel) avec les autorités locales ou déconcentrées et les autres intervenants en matière d'appui au développement
Innovation in incapacity: education, technique, subject
No full textAbstract
This essay addresses the question of change as it is expressed in debates on the introduction and use of new digital technologies in contemporary education. It sets out some of the terms of this debate, concerning MOOCs in particular, and puts into question the very conception of change they presume. The essay advocates a distinction between education, which marks the subjective capacity of all for thought, and pedagogy, which, the essay argues, teaches subjective incapacity for all. The case is made that without a formal conception of change MOOCs will only strengthen the contemporary pedagogical project of difference as repetition. In conclusion, the essay attempts to sketch a conception of real change such that a new orientation to the debate is proposed
Role of antibodies and T cells in pigeon fanciers' lung
No full textAbstract: Introduction: Pigeon fanciers’ lung (PFL) is one of the most common forms of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) in the UK. Generally it is considered that PFL is caused by immune complexes, however, this does not explain why some fanciers are asymptomatic despite the presence of high levels of anti-avian antigen antibodies in their serum. Pigeon intestinal mucin (PIM) is considered to be an important antigen in PFL. Thus this study was designed in order to understand the role of specific antibodies and T cells in the pathogenesis of PFL. Methods: Anti-avian IgG and IgG subclass responses among 50 symptomatic and 50 asymptomatic pigeon fanciers were determined by ELISA and the functional affinity of IgG1 and IgG2 against a range of pigeon antigens was determined by inhibition ELISA and microcalimetry. Mucin-specific T cell clones were also generated from pigeon fanciers and T cell phenotypes and cytokine profile of these cells were identified. Results: The median titres of IgG1 and IgG2 against all the pigeon antigens tested was always higher in asymptomatic than symptomatic fanciers and these differences were significant for anti-PS IgG1 (P=0.04), anti-PDF IgG2 (P=0.028), anti-PDO IgG2 (P=0.04) and anti-PIS IgG2 (P=0.03). The functional affinity of IgG1 and IgG2 against PDO was higher in symptomatic individuals as compared to asymptomatic fanciers (P=0.006 and P=0.002, respectively) whilst the functional affinity of anti-PDF IgG2 was also significantly higher in these patients (P?0.001). Symptomatic fanciers were also significantly more likely to have high ?H and thus had higher avidity antibodies against PDO (P=0.044). 12 T cell clones specific for t mucin also were generated from an asymptomatic fancier and 90-96% of clone 04, 22, 23 were CD4-CD8- double negative (DN). Conclusion: The data suggests that the magnitude of the serum antibody response cannot determine the development of the disease and as symptomatic fanciers had higher IgG antibody avidities and therefore immune complexes in individuals with PFL may have a stronger composition and bonds. In addition, this is the first demonstration of the use of ITC to measure antibody avidity in a clinical situation. This is a rapid and simple method of measuring antibody avidity and has a diagnostic potential in PFL. Finally t mucin-specific T cell clones with double negative phenotype may have a crucial role in immune regulation in asymptomatic fanciers and can be one of the reasons why these individuals do not have any symptoms in spite of having high antibody responses
