Abstract Over the past two decades a growing body of scientific evidence has accumulated supporting the role in cancer aetiology of factors that for convenience can be labelled "metabolic", to differentiate them from chemical, physical and infectious …

Since the major epidemiological studies and population-based randomized controlled trials conducted in France in the years 1980-1990, we have come a long way, paved with methodological and technological innovations. This lecture explains how participatory …

Abstract The long period of war experienced by Việt Nam (Japanese occupation, colonial war, war between the two Việt Nam) over more than thirty years had a very heavy impact on the whole of society, on all women, in the north as well as in the south, at …

Circumcision is undoubtedly one of the oldest surgical procedures. In its most widespread form, it consists of the total or partial removal of the foreskin, leaving the glans penis uncovered. The practice, which dates back to antiquity if not prehistory, …

Abstract The Hall resistivity has long been used to identify the mobile charge carriers in metals. However, transport theory has failed to explain several intriguing ''Hall anomalies'' in strongly correlated metals, superconductors, and thermal Hall …

Abstract First we recall the mirror symmetry identification of the coordinate ring of certain very stable upward flows in the Hitchin system and the Kirillov algebra for the minuscule representation of the Langlands dual group via the equivariant …

Abstract Pumps are transport mechanisms in which directed currents result from a cycling evolution of the potential. Thouless pointed out that pumping can have topological origin when considering the motion of quantum particles in spatially and temporally …

Abstract The palimpsest manuscript known as Codex Climaci rescriptus, presumably from the monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, has just revealed the only direct fragments of the Star Catalogue composed by the greatest astronomer of antiquity, …

The title chosen for this last lesson echoes the reasons why the study of representations and practices around Demeter Thesmophoros was given priority this year : the first reason is the specificity of the cult title for the goddess, which is an …

After an update on the various sacrifices scheduled at the Thesmophorion in Delos, Demeter's obvious predilection for pigs is analyzed, particularly but not only when she is Thesmophoros . Whether in literary, epigraphic, zooarchaeological or coroplastic …

Abstract This talk explores three approaches to optimizing the performance of programs using persistent structures. The first approach consists in optimizing purely functional structures by increasing the arity of tree leaves and nodes. The …

Abstract It is often useful to be able to designate a part of a data structure (for example, a subtree of a tree) and operate on it locally. In term algebras, this is modeled using contexts. However, Huet's "  zippers  " , a dual presentation of contexts, …

Why does the 2010 Rural Code specify that poultry and other farmyard animals remain our property even if we have lost sight of them ? This is an implicit legacy of Roman law, which distinguishes between animals whose ownership we retain once and for all, …

Abstract Learning to read and write through texts : the coexistence of the classical and Christian models (1) Starting from the corpus I have established according to the principles I have made explicit, I reach a conclusion somewhat opposed to those of …
