Histoire d'un patrimoine en révolution : Claude Bonnet de Paillerets, robin de Marvejols en Lozère de 1766 à 1815
No full textand made constant efforts to obtain social distinction, as is demonstrated by the contracts he drew up. Loyal to each new regime, a son of the Enlightenment, Bonnet had little to do with the common man's world which was so different from his ideal of the family and from his way of life as a local worthy. The author carefully follows the dialectics of individual choice and social determination within a particularly significant case study.Thomas Castaing, Histoire d'un patrimoine en révolution : Claude Bonnet de Paillerets, robin de Marvejols en Lozère, de 1766 à 1815.
Conseiller à la cour des comptes de Montpellier à la veille de la Révolution, mais en prise directe par tradition familiale avec les activités commerciales du négoce de laine, et du commerce maritime, Claude Bonnet de Paillerets est représentatif d'une stratégie de promotion sociale qui a privilégié le revenu noble à partir de la vente immobilière et mobilière. Gros propriétaire, il tire une bonne part de ses revenus de ses créances. L'épisode révolutionnaire affecte momentanément leur perception, mais ne freine que momentanément, grâce à des stratégies adaptées, l'accroissement d'une fortune finalement consolidée sous l'Empire. Les choix de ce notable s'expliquent par des facteurs autres qu'économiques : la recherche de l'intégration à l'élite de sa région et les efforts de distinction sociale, dont témoigne le renouvellement de ses contacts. Loyaliste vis-à- vis des nouveaux régimes quels qu'ils soient, homme des Lumières, il prend ses distances vis-à-vis d'un univers populaire auquel s'oppose son idéal de la famille comme son mode de vie de notable. Cette étude s'attache à suivre la dialectique des choix individuels et des déterminations sociales à partir d'un cas individuel significatif.Castaing Thomas.

Some properties of set-valued stochastic integrals of multiprocesses with finite Castaing representations
No full textThe paper contains new properties of set-valued stochastic integrals defined as multifunctions with
subtrajectory integrals equal to closed decomposable hulls of functional set-valued integrals
defined in
the author paper [8]. In particular, it is proved that such defined integrals
for set-valued predictable square integrably bounded processes having finite
Castaing representations are square integrably bounded. Up to now this property has not
been proved. Unfortunately, in the general case the above boundedness problem is still
open
Local heat flux measurements using a micro-machined integrated probe
No full textThermal flows are ubiquitous in natural and industrial systems, this is why they have been studied for decades. In these kinds of flows, an important quantity is the local heat flux, but it remains experimentally nearly unstudied since it is difficult to measure it. We introduce a new local convective heat flux probe, based on a joint measurement of temperature and velocity within the flow
Dispositif de formation de l'image électronique au moyen de la microsonde de Castaing
No full textThe Castaing microprobe has been equipped with a scanning device, which allows images of the distribution of a given element to be displayed with help of its characteristic X emission. It has been also utilized to obtain an " electron image " depending on the differences in atomic number and in the target relief. Electron bombardment by the probe gives rise to a local emission of backscattered and secondary electrons. By grounding the specimen through a large resistor, a voltage proportionnal to 1— δ is generated. δ is the yield of the local electron emission, the conditions of which have been discussed elsewhere [5]. After amplification this voltage modulates the beam of a C. R. Tube. In the best case, the smallest detectable variation is as low as 20 μV, corresponding to a variation of the target atomic number Δ Z of about 1/10. A few examples are briefly described in order to show the applications of this technique.Le dispositif de balayage automatique de la microsonde de Castaing a été conçu pour donner des images de la répartition d'un élément chimique donné à l'aide de son émission X caractéristique. Nous l'avons également utilisé pour former une « image électronique » sensible aux différences de numéro atomique et au relief de la cible. En effet sous l'action du bombardement il y a, au point d'impact de la sonde, émission d'électrons rétrodiffusés et d'électrons secondaires. En reliant l'échantillon à la masse par l'intermédiaire d'une forte résistance on recueille une tension proportionnelle à 1— δ, où δ est le rendement de l'émission électronique locale dont les conditions ont été précisées par ailleurs [5]. Cette tension peut, après amplification, moduler le faisceau d'un oscillographe cathodique. Dans les meilleures conditions la plus petite variation décelable est égale à 20 μV, ce qui correspondrait à une variation de numéro atomique ΔZ de la cible d'environ 1/10. Quelques exemples sont brièvement décrits pour illustrer les applications de cette technique
Refractive Index and Strain Modulation Tailor the Afterglow of Nanocomposite Films
No full textTailoring the unique delayed and long-lasting luminescence of persistent phosphors is crucial for their application in anticounterfeiting, data storage, imaging displays, and AC-driven lighting. We introduce a novel strategy to achieve this by modifying the refractive index of persistent phosphor transparent coatings. Specifically, we developed ZnGa2O4:Cr3+/SiO2 nanocomposite films with tunable refractive indices from 1.45 to 1.7. This tunability allowed us to precisely control the Cr3+ radiative decay rate, resulting in a substantial 1.7-fold increase in both luminescence and afterglow brightness. Furthermore, our approach uniquely influences the intrinsic charging rate of the phosphor, a mechanism attributed to the strain induced on the ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ nanocrystals by the presence of SiO2. This work demonstrates an unprecedent ability to manipulate the afterglow kinetics without altering the material composition, opening new avenues for designing and optimizing persistent luminescence materials.We thank Bruno Viana and Juan R.

Financial Market Analysis Can Go Mad (in the search for irrational behaviour during the South Sea Bubble)
No full textAn investigation into the legal and political history of South Sea Company subscription finance shows that the subscription contracts had default options built into them, as was typically the case in eighteenth-century subscription financing. Company records and contemporary pamphlet literature show that people understood the subscription finance mechanics that were stated in law. A fair presentation of South Sea share value data also supports this view. We thus conclude that the analyses published in this Review by Dale, Johnson and Tang were irretrievably flawed and present a substantially incorrect history of the markets for South Sea shares.South Sea Company, Royal African Company, Financial Revolution, Bubble Act, subscription shares, options markets.

On Carathéodory type selectors in a Hilbert space
No full textIn this paper we consider a set-valued function of two variables, measurable in the first and continuous in the second variable. Using metric projections we construct for this function a family of selectors which are Carathéodory maps. The existence of Carathéodory selectors was studied by Castaing [2], [3], Cellina [4], Fryszkowski [9] and the first author [11]
