    Abstract: This work analyzes the evolution of the German Democratic Republic during 1971-1985, with particular attention to the economic sphere, relations with the Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany, and the impact that changes in the international economic system have they had on these plans. The basic question concerns the actual degree of subordination of the GDR to the USSR: absolute for traditional historiography, which denies the possibility of an East German foreign policy, relative to the light of archival documents, which show a framework of bilateral relations constantly affected by tensions. In addition to analyzing the relationships in an unequal alliance between center and periphery, the study of the decision-making mechanisms internal to the GDR and the effectiveness of a system in which politics dictated the priority in terms of economic choices are at the center of this volume

    Abstract: Of all the parasitic diseases, leishmaniasis is one of the most diverse, with a variety of manifestations, from relatively minor cutaneous lesions to deadly visceral infections. It is also widespread, causing human disease in the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa. The environments in which this disease occurs range from desert to tropical jungle to urban habitats. Not surprisingly, the literature on this disease is written in a variety of languages including Portuguese, Arabic, English and French among others. This book provides a synopsis in English of much of the recent research on leishmaniasis, with a focus on the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of the disease as described by researchers around the world, but with a focus on the research from Brazil and the Middle East

    Abstract: Strontium aluminate cement is special inorganic cement with the properties which make it favorable for various special applications such as refractory products, macro defect free (MDF) composites, blended cements and expansive cements for high temperature applications. There is an immense number of possible combinations which can be made to prepare blended and multicomponent cements and to investigate the influence of substitutions on the properties of strontium aluminate. Divided into ten sections, this book provides the latest research achievements in many aspects of this binder. The manufacturing, the hydration process, the setting behavior and the properties are described. The book contains many original and firstly published experimental research results obtained during writing. Currently there is no comprehensive work on this topic in literature. From this point of view, the book is a pilot work on this topic and should attract the attention of researchers and bring further progress of this topic

    Abstract: Rice is a staple food for half of the worlds population mostly in Asia. Productivity of rice has largely been improved since the Green Revolution in 1960s. Further improvement of rice yield is necessary to keep pace with population growth, which is a challenging task for breeders. This book, Rice - Germplasm, Genetics and Improvement, as its name implies, comprehensively reviews current knowledge in germplasm exploration, genetic basis of complex traits, and molecular breeding strategies in rice. In the germplasm part, we highlight the application of wild rice in rice breeding. In the genetics part, most of the complex traits related with yield, disease, quality have been covered. In the improvement part, Chinese experiences in hybrid rice breeding have been summarized together with many molecular breeding practices scattering in different chapters

    Abstract: The aim of this book is to demonstrate the use of SAR data in three application domains, i.e. land cover (Part II), topography (Part III), and land motion (Part IV). These are preceded by Part I, where an extensive and complete review on speckle and adaptive filtering is provided, essential for the understanding of SAR images. Part II is dedicated to land cover mapping. Part III is devoted to the generation of Digital Elevation Models based on radargrammetry and on a wise fusion (by considering sensor characteristic and acquisition geometry) of interferometric and photogrammetric elevation data. Part IV provides a contribution to three applications related to land motion

    Series Statement: Frontiers in RNAi
    Keywords: Genetics (non-medical)
    Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which small nucleotide sequences destroy specific mRNA molecules and, therefore, interrupt genetic expression. RNAi has rapidly developed into a widely used technique in biotechnology, experimental biology, genomics and medicine. Frontiers in RNAi is a collection of research articles covering the applications of RNAi principles and technologies and has been compiled by members of the RNAi Global Initiative, a collection of academic and industrial groups with extensive experience in genome-wide RNAi screening. Chapters included in the first volume touch on some of the recent advances in RNAi technology (i.e., applications to 3D cell culture, drug repurposing, and bioproduction) and provide guidance on how to address the continued challenges associated with off-target effects, database structuring, and pooled shRNA screens

    Abstract: Die Beiträge zum vorliegenden Band befassen sich mit der Entwicklung des Nachdenkens über den Raum als Dimension wirtschaftlichen Handelns. Ihr Zeithorizont reicht von der Stadtentwicklungstheorie Giovanni Boteros im 16. Jahrhundert bis zur »Neuen Ökonomischen Geographie« alias »geographischen Ökonomik« der Gegenwart. In mehreren Beiträgen wird aufgezeigt, wie man mit Hilfe des historischen Fundus an ökonomischen Theorien Städte und Landschaften lesen kann. Eine gleichmäßig flächendeckende Behandlung der Geschichte der Raumwirtschaftslehre soll der Band allerdings nicht leisten. Er enthält vielmehr zwei Schwerpunkte, die sicherlich auch für kundige Leser Neues enthalten. Der erste ist eine Gesamtschau auf Thünens raumwirtschaftliches Gleichgewichtsmodell, die reichhaltige und tiefgründige Überlegungen aus Thünens unveröffentlichten Manuskripten einbezieht. Der zweite Schwerpunkt ist die historische Darstellung und analytische Betrachtung der Raumforschung deutscher Wirtschaftswissenschaftler während und nach der NS-Zeit. Darin wird unter anderem deutlich, wie eng etliche Ökonomen – von denen einige später in der Bundesrepublik Ansehen genossen – während des Krieges unter dem Leitbegriff »Raumordnung« in die Planung der Umsiedlung und Vernichtung von Juden und anderen Ortsansässigen in den eroberten Gebieten im Osten eingebunden waren

    Abstract: The Tel Aviv annual Purim celebrations were the largest public events in British Palestine, and they played a key role in the development of the urban Jewish experience in the Promised Land. Carnival in Tel-Aviv presents a historical-anthropological analysis of this mass public event and explores the ethnographic dimension of Zionism. This study sheds new light on the ideological world of urban Zionism, the capitalistic aspects of Zionist culture, and the urban nature of the Zionist project, which sought to create a nation of warriors and farmers, but in fact nationalized the urban space and constructed it as its main public sphere

    Keywords: Architecture
    Abstract: The Funambulist Pamphlets is a series of small books archiving articles published on The Funambulist, collected according to specific themes. These volumes propose a different articulation of texts than the usual chronological one. The eleven volumes are respectively dedicated to Spinoza, Foucault, Deleuze, Legal Theory, Occupy Wall Street, Palestine, Cruel Designs, Arakawa + Madeline Gins, Science Fiction, Literature, and Cinema. Volume 10 is devoted to the topic of Literature, with entries by Lambert and other authors. The idea that architecture can be created through narrative is popular in some academic circles. It seems a fruitful approach to the discipline as it unfolds an important imaginative field. It also envisions a resistance to forms of architectural teleology, since fiction is usually based on the disfunction of the environment in which it is set. For this reason, we could go as far as to affirm that fiction operates in contradiction to the traditional design method. The word “literature," however, is not often pronounced by the people who seem to promote this creative method. The following texts intend to think of literature as a powerful field of ideas that translates to other creative disciplines. This translation should never be literal, and for this reason, some fictions that evoke architecture — Franz Kafka’s and Jorge Luis Borges’s labyrinths, for example — might be paradoxically more difficult to properly translate than less immediately spatial novels. The following texts do not propose any translation of their own but rather offer a humble toolbox in order to do so. This volume also constitutes an opportunity to archive the four texts written for the first event of Archipelagos (Brooklyn, November 2011), an non-institutionalized gathering of people conversing around a given topic. The first event was dedicated to literature and four architects were invited to talk about four authors they chose (Kerouac, Artaud, Dostoevsky and Pessoa) in the first half of the event, while the second half consisted of an open conversation generated by the presentations

    Abstract: It’s a platitude – which only a philosopher would dream of denying – that whereas words are connected to what they represent merely by arbitrary conventions, pictures are connected to what they represent by resemblance. The most important difference between my portrait and my name, for example, is that whereas my portrait and I are connected by my portrait’s resemblance to me, my name and I are connected merely by an arbitrary convention. The first aim of this book is to defend this platitude from the apparently compelling objections raised against it, by analysing depiction in a way which reveals how it is mediated by resemblance. It’s natural to contrast the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance, which emphasises the differences between depictive and descriptive representation, with an extremely close analogy between depiction and description, which emphasises the similarities between depictive and descriptive representation. Whereas the platitude emphasises that the connection between my portrait and me is natural in a way the connection between my name and me is not, the analogy emphasises the contingency of the connection between my portrait and me. Nevertheless, the second aim of this book is to defend an extremely close analogy between depiction and description. The strategy of the book is to argue that the apparently compelling objections raised against the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance are manifestations of more general problems, which are familiar from the philosophy of language. These problems, it argues, can be resolved by answers analogous to their counterparts in the philosophy of language, without rejecting the platitude. So the combination of the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance with a close analogy between depiction and description turns out to be a compelling theory of depiction, which combines the virtues of common sense with the insights of its detractors

    Abstract: With the success of open access publishing, Massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open education practices, the open approach to education has moved from the periphery to the mainstream. This marks a moment of victory for the open education movement, but at the same time the real battle for the direction of openness begins. As with the green movement, openness now has a market value and is subject to new tensions, such as venture capitalists funding MOOC companies. This is a crucial time for determining the future direction of open education. In this volume, Martin Weller examines four key areas that have been central to the developments within open education: open access, MOOCs, open education resources and open scholarship. Exploring the tensions within these key arenas, he argues that ownership over the future direction of openness is significant to all of those with an interest in education

Moreover, women are exhorted to exercise leadership, but occupying leadership positions has its challenges.

    Abstract: Die alte Frage, um welche Art von Wissenschaft es sich bei der Ökonomik handelt, um eine Natur- oder eine Geisteswissenschaft, ist im Jahr 2009 durch einander widersprechende Aufrufe von Vertretern des Faches Volkswirtschaftslehre in deutschen Tageszeitungen wieder aufgebrochen. Tatsächlich schwelt die Frage seit geraumer Zeit im Fach und wird nach Gang der Dinge unterschiedlich beantwortet. Der Band befasst sich in systematischer Weise mit der als »Methodenstreit« bekannten Debatte von ihren Anfängen bis in die Gegenwart. Er zeigt, dass längst bekannte und als unhaltbar ausgewiesene Argumente immer wiederkehren – als Ausdruck der zunehmenden Geschichtsvergessenheit des Faches. Kann man auf der Grundlage stark realitätsferner Annahmen zu brauchbaren Aussagen über die Wirklichkeit kommen? Sind Modelle nicht immer unterkomplex und in Gefahr, den Blick auf die Wirklichkeit zu verstellen, statt ihn zu schärfen? Ist in einem Fach, das mit einem derart schwierigen Gegenstand befasst ist wie die Ökonomik, ein methodischer Monismus angebracht? Oder bedeutet er nicht vielmehr die Anmaßung von Wissen, wo kein gesichertes Wissen verfügbar ist? Setzt Fortschritt im Fach nicht Pluralität der Herangehensweisen voraus?

    Abstract: Nubian studies needs a platform in which the old meets the new, in which archaeological, papyrological, and philological research into Meroitic, Old Nubian, Coptic, Greek, and Arabic sources confront current investigations in modern anthropology and ethnography, Nilo-Saharan linguistics, and critical and theoretical approaches present in post-colonial and African studies. The journal Dotawo: A Journal of Nubian Studies brings these disparate fields together within the same fold, opening a cross-cultural and diachronic field where divergent approaches meet on common soil. Dotawo gives a common home to the past, present, and future of one of the richest areas of research in African studies. It offers a crossroads where papyrus can meet internet, scribes meet critical thinkers, and the promises of growing nations meet the accomplishments of old kingdoms. This first volume of Dotawo is the outcome of a Nubian panel within the Nilo-Saharan Linguistics Colloquium held at the University of Cologne, May 22-4, 2013. Organized by Angelika Jakobi, the Nubian panel was attended both by specialists of the modern Nubian languages and scholars working on medieval Nubia and its languages, particularly Old Nubian. We are indebted to the Fritz Thyssen Foundation at Cologne for generously sponsoring the organization of the Nubian panel and the invitation of the participants

    Abstract: In republican times, one of Rome's deadliest enemies was King Mithridates of Pontus. In 66 BCE, after decades of inconclusive struggle, the tribune Manilius proposed a bill that would give supreme command in the war against Mithridates to Pompey the Great, who had just swept the Mediterranean clean of another menace: the pirates. While powerful aristocrats objected to the proposal, which would endow Pompey with unprecedented powers, the bill proved hugely popular among the people, and one of the praetors, Marcus Tullius Cicero, also hastened to lend it his support. In his first ever political speech, variously entitled pro lege Manilia or de imperio Gnaei Pompei, Cicero argues that the war against Mithridates requires the appointment of a perfect general and that the only man to live up to such lofty standards is Pompey. In the section under consideration here, Cicero defines the most important hallmarks of the ideal military commander and tries to demonstrate that Pompey is his living embodiment. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and a commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, the incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both AS and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis and historical background to encourage critical engagement with Cicero's prose and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought

    Keywords: Islam ; Social research & statistics ; The Koran
    Abstract: The book is a program which seeks to construct an intellectual framework for Islamic methodology with a view to realizing practical training in the thoughtful investigation of issues related to knowledge in various fields. The book’s title affirms the distinctive types of integration that characterize Islamic methodology, including integration of sources, means, and schools of thought, as well as existing realities with desired ideals etc. This is fully consistent with human nature, as variety is fundamental to the functions people perform and skills they master. The work essentially makes the case that fundamental to any Muslim recovery is laying the foundations of sound thinking and values that integrate the two main sources of knowledge: Revelation and Reality (that is the created worlds both physical, societal and psychological) under the umbrella of Tawhid. This concept of integration implies using both human theoretical conceptualization and practical experimental investigation whilst also affirming the need to apply human capabilities in understanding the divine text, and acquiring sound knowledge of the physical world in terms of its resources, as well as accumulated past and present human experiences. The aim being to vitalize human potential and creativity

    Abstract: The Return of the Buddha traces the development of Buddhist archaeology in colonial India, examines its impact on the reconstruction of India’s Buddhist past, and the making of a public and academic discourse around these archaeological discoveries. The bookdiscusses the role of the state and modern Buddhist institutions in the reconstitution of national heritage through promulgation of laws for the protection of Buddhist monuments, acquiring of land around the sites, restoration of edifices, and organization of the display and dissemination of relics. It also highlights the engagement of prominent Indian figures, such as Nehru, Gandhi, Ambedkar, and Tagore, with Buddhist themes in their writings. Stressing upon the lasting legacy of Buddhism in independent India, the author explores the use of Buddhist symbols and imagery in nation-building and the making of the constitution, as also the recent efforts to resurrect Buddhist centers of learning such as Nalanda. With rich archival sources, the book will immensely interest scholars, researchers and students of modern Indian history, culture, archaeology, Buddhist studies, and heritage management

    Abstract: Between 2000 and 2011, younger veterans were more likely to be unemployed than younger non-veterans. This difference falls rapidly with age and time. The evidence supports the hypothesis that veteran unemployment reflects engagement in job search. There is little evidence that veterans are disadvantaged in the labor market. Limiting benefits to veterans might reduce the length of unemployment spells, but the budgetary effect is unclear

    Abstract: Without a doubt, the Qur’an is beautiful, indeed, the most beautiful literary composition the Arabic language has ever known. It signified the divine presence itself and commanded the greatest honor. The proof that the Qur’an was the word of God devolved upon the Qur’an itself. The Qur’an, Muhammad claimed with Qur’anic approval, indeed dictation, is so beautiful that it is inimitable; it is so inimitable that it is miraculous. It is therefore not the work of humans but of God. This character of the Qur’an is called its i’jaz. The Sunnah as concretization of the vision, or materialization of the ideal, translated theory into reality. In it, the values of Islam were given form and became alive. They throbbed with moving power. The Sunnah supplied the missing link between thinking and doing, between ideational apperception and action, between thought and life and history

    Abstract: A focused review of RAND Health research identified small ideas that could save the U.S. health care system $13 to $22 billion per year if successfully implemented. They include changing payment policy for emergency transport and greater use of $4 generic drugs. Small ideas do not require systemic change; thus, they may be both more feasible to operationalize and less likely to encounter stiff political and organizational resistance

    Abstract: The EURACT Performance Agenda (EUPA) of the European Academy of Teachers in General Practice/Family Medicine (EURACT) is the third paper in a row following the European Definition of General Practice/Family Medicine (WONCA Europe) in 2002 which identified 6 core competencies and 11 abilities every general practitioner (GP) should master, and the EURACT Educational Agenda in 2005 which provided a framework to teach the core competencies by setting learning aims and monitoring their achievement. Performance (in contrast to competence) is understood as the level of actual performance in clinical care and communication with patients in daily practice. Small groups of EURACT Council members from 40 European countries have discussed and developed EUPA since 2007. EUPA is a general, uniform and basic agenda of performance elements every GP masters in daily practice, applicable and adaptable to different countries with different systems. It deals with the process and result of actual work in daily practice, not with a teaching/learning situation. EUPA discusses in depth the psychometrics and edumetrics of performance assessment. Case vignettes of abilities in GPs' daily practice illustrate performance and its assessment in every chapter. Examples of common assessment tools are workplace-based assessment by a peer, feedback from patients or staff and audit of medical records. EUPA can help to shape various performance assessment activities held locally in general practice/family medicine, e. g. in continuing professional development cycles, re-certification/re-accreditation/licensing procedures, peer hospitation programmes and practice audit programmes in quality management. It can give orientation for self-assessment for reflective practitioners in their continuing professional development. The EURACT Performance Agenda (EUPA) encourages general practitioners to initialize performance agendas adapted to their national health system to further strengthen the role of general practice/family medicine in their country

There were a number of different governmental and societal forces that sought to resolve them. Dirk Petter examines this interplay of conflict and rapprochement and interprets the critical decade of the 1970s in the overall context of post-war relations between Germany and France

    Abstract: “The brutality of symbol is visual war. The maze confuses the poetic solitude of the verbal impressed in the pragmatic obol. Manifesto, nervous reflex of language out of control but not without focus, unexpectedly touches the reaction converting the suit interpret-action roar of consciousness. Phonemes-hoplites, the galvanized armor prepares the final siege, it is time to choose which side to fight on. Aprile throws up a challenge: self-centeredness of the word or the reversal of the semantic front against a historic tool devoted to a company withered away and foraging in the cliché, this ultimate foundation of the order-archetype. Prepare for defeat, not to succumb to conceal language accessory and inflamed from of poiesis, and semantic approach exhalation and pray for his death.” ~ Cristiano Caggiula “Aprile’s writing breathes, survives and is manifested, among dashes, curves, losses, cruises, overlays, erasures, and smudges, smears. A writing dotted with isolated words, they resist to a great catastrophe, arranged in imbalance, moving, equipped with its own breath, your own voice. Aprile’s writing is a calligram in which the words are scattered all but disappeared, replaced by stretches of life that run, they run themselves. April drags, hits, dodges, phagocyte and flees, sometimes quickly, sometimes with a certain laziness, out of an area where it shows the drive and exposes the unfinished pulsion of the body. Rhythm writing.” ~ Bartolomé Ferrando

    Abstract: Research represent in this monograph (Incomplete Solution Of Carbonate Rocks In Karst Caves Of Slovenia) was dedicated to incomplete solution of limestones and dolomites in karst caves~that is to occurrence of thick, soft weathered zones of "soluble" residue of carbonate rocks. With field and laboratory analyses I have tried to find out what is happening within the carbonate rocks during weathering and why they do not dissolve completely. Solution penetrates into the rock along various textures and structures. Results of analysis have shown that during weathering limestones and dolomites become purer~Mg, Sr and U are leached out, structure of the rock becomes more porous. In the cases when surface of weathered rock come in contact with flowing water, the water tears exposed particles and transports them away. If water does not flow over the exposed particles fast enough, they remain attached to the wall of the cave. The ratio between corrosion and the mechanical erosion of carbonate rocks on cave passages walls is more significant for the formation of roughness and rocky relief on the wall than for the growth of the passage. Microorganisms are present in the processes, but it is not yet known if they contribute to the weathering. From research follows that zones of white porous rock on cave walls are a product of weathering and are not precipitated secondary minerals
    Abstract: Raziskave, predstavljene v monografiji, so bile posvečene nepopolnemu raztapljanju apnencev in dolomitov v kraških jamah~to je pojavljanju debelih, mehkih con »topnega« ostanka karbonatnih kamnin. S terenskimi in laboratorijskimi analizami sem skušala spoznati, kaj se dogaja v karbonatnih kamninah med preperevanjem in zakaj se popolnoma ne raztopijo. Raztapljanje prodira v kamnino po različnih strukturah in teksturah. Rezultati analiz so pokazali, da se tako apnenec kot dolomit med preperevanjem čistita~izlužijo se Mg, Sr in U, struktura kamnine pa obenem postaja vedno bolj porozna. V primerih, ko je površina preperele kamnine v stiku s tekočo vodo, voda z njene površine trga izpostavljene delčke in jih odnaša. Če voda ne teče dovolj hitro čez izpostavljene delčke, ostanejo na steni rova. Razmerje med korozijo in mehansko erozijo karbonatne kamnine v steni jamskega rova je bolj pomembno za oblikovanje hrapavosti in različnih skalnih oblik na stenah kot pa za samo rast rova. Mikroorganizmi so prisotni, ne vemo pa še ali sodelujejo pri preperevanju. Iz raziskav sledi, da so cone bele porozne kamnine na jamskih stenah produkt preperevanja in ne izločanja sekundarnih mineralov

    Abstract: The Triglav Glacier lies on the southeast edge of the Alps, in the Julian Alps below Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak. Its upper edge lies at 2,500 m. The glacier has been regularly measured, observed, and studied since 1946 by the Anton Melik Geographical Institute at ZRC SAZU. When measurements began it covered 14.4 ha, but today it covers less than half a hectare. The glacier no longer has all glacial features. Thus one may only speak of a glacier because of its past, when it clearly had the basic features of an alpine glacier. Analysis of the geomorphic forms of the Triglav Mountains allows reconstruction of past glaciation. Moraine deposits above the upper edge of Mount Triglav's North Wall indicate the glacier's extent during the Little Ice Age. When this ended in the nineteenth century, visits to the Triglav Mountains started increasing, and so there are many written and pictorial sources available from this time
    Abstract: Triglavski ledenik od leta 1946 redno merijo, opazujejo in preučujejo sodelavci Geografskega inštituta Antona Melika ZRC SAZU. Na začetku meritev je bila njegova površina 14,4 ha, do danes pa se je skrčil na slabo polovico hektarja. Zdaj ledenik nima več vseh ledeniških značilnosti. O ledeniku lahko govorimo le še zaradi njegove preteklosti, na osnovi analize geomorfnih oblik Triglavskega pogorja ter pisnih in slikovnih virov iz 19.in 20. stoletja. Obdobje meritev z vidika kolebanja ledenika kronološko delimo na štiri dele. Prva leta do leta 1964 je zaznamovalo krčenje ledenika. Leta 1952 je bil ledenik prvič geodetsko izmerjen. Na podlagi teh meritev smo lahko izračunali tudi prostornino ledenika. Drugo obdobje od leta 1965 do leta 1982 je zaznamovala stagnacija v krčenju ledenika. V večini let je ledenik tudi ob koncu talilne dobe prekrival sneg. Tretje razdobje med letoma 1983 in 2003 je zaznamoval najhitrejši umik ledenika. V devetdesetih letih 20. stoletja smo posodobili meritve, leta 1999 smo začeli z rednimi fotogrametričnimi meritvami, tega leta smo prvič izmerili debelino ledu z georadarjem. V zadnjem razdobju po letu 2003 se je krčenje ledenika znova upočasnilo

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage présente, de manière condensée, la substance d'une réunion de deux jours, organisée les 19 et 20 février 2013 par l'Académie des sciences sur l'emploi des fluides caloporteurs dans les réacteurs à neutrons rapides de IVe Génération. Ce type de réacteur doit fissionner tous les noyaux d'uranium et pas seulement la fraction minime d'uranium 235 des réacteurs des générations précédentes. Il doit ainsi travailler dans des conditions plus extrêmes, pour entraîner les produits de fission hors du combustible et transformer cette énergie de fission en chaleur à l'aide d'un fluide caloporteur. Cette chaleur à haute température sera finalement transformée en énergie consommable sous forme d'électricité ou de travail mécanique. Le choix d'un fluide caloporteur approprié conduit au développement de réacteurs de caractéristiques différentes. C'est ce qui explique que, dans l'histoire déjà longue et complexe de cette question, plusieurs solutions aient été envisagées et plus ou moins développées, en France comme au niveau international. L'Académie des sciences, en collaboration avec des membres de l'Académie des technologies, a estimé souhaitable de faire un état des lieux aussi complet et précis que possible. Elle s'est assurée la participation essentielle des spécialistes les plus compétents dans les secteurs actuellement les plus actifs. Après avoir présenté le cadre général du problème posé au point de vue scientifique technique et industriel, ce texte analyse quatre types de solutions, qui concernent les métaux liquides, les gaz et les sels fondus. Il souligne finalement les problèmes communs à ces solutions, mais aussi les caractéristiques différentes auxquelles elles conduisent, notamment en ce qui concerne la taille et le régime thermique des réacteurs.

    Abstract: L'agriculture est-elle toujours une affaire de famille ? Cet ouvrage analyse les transformations du caractère familial de l'agriculture en France, mises en perspective avec quelques éclairages de situations dans les pays du Sud. La première partie de l'ouvrage rend compte des recompositions de l'exploitation agricole et de ses enjeux, exploitation qui est de moins en moins familiale, tout en le restant. Elle propose des cadres d'analyse élargis pour les appréhender. Les transformations des formes familiales d'agriculture sont abordées dans une deuxième partie par l'étude des mutations qui s'opèrent dans le travail en agriculture. Ces mutations amènent à questionner le sens du travail et les interfaces avec le vivre en famille et les activités non-agricoles, au-delà des seules problématiques d'organisation et de performances technico-économiques. La troisième partie de l'ouvrage montre que les cadres structurant l'activité agricole dépassent le champ de la famille et se renouvellent, en particulier dans les formes d'insertion territoriale, dans les modalités des processus d'innovation et par des reconfigurations de l'action collective de proximité. Finalement, les transformations du caractère familial, saisies dans le temps long des trajectoires d'exploitations, sont aussi observées dans les formes et stratégies de pérennisation et de transmission, qu'il s'agisse de transmettre un statut, une activité, une entreprise, un patrimoine, un outil de production ou encore des savoir-faire. Une synthèse conclusive propose un renouvellement des questions de recherche et plaide pour un décloisonnement des études en agriculture. L'ouvrage rassemble des travaux de recherche récents de chercheurs issus du département Sciences pour l'action et le développement (Sad) de l'Inra et de ses partenaires scientifiques et professionnels. Il fait une large place à des travaux de jeunes chercheurs et à des thèses récemment soutenues. D'abord destiné aux chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs, il s'adresse également aux organisations professionnelles (instituts techniques, réseaux associatifs, syndicats, chambres d'agriculture, etc.)

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage présente, de manière condensée, la substance d'une réunion de deux jours, organisée les 19 et 20 février 2013 par l'Académie des sciences sur l'emploi des fluides caloporteurs dans les réacteurs à neutrons rapides de IVe Génération. Ce type de réacteur doit fissionner tous les noyaux d'uranium et pas seulement la fraction minime d'uranium 235 des réacteurs des générations précédentes. Il doit ainsi travailler dans des conditions plus extrêmes, pour entraîner les produits de fission hors du combustible et transformer cette énergie de fission en chaleur à l'aide d'un fluide caloporteur. Cette chaleur à haute température sera finalement transformée en énergie consommable sous forme d'électricité ou de travail mécanique. Le choix d'un fluide caloporteur approprié conduit au développement de réacteurs de caractéristiques différentes. C'est ce qui explique que, dans l'histoire déjà longue et complexe de cette question, plusieurs solutions aient été envisagées et plus ou moins développées, en France comme au niveau international. L'Académie des sciences, en collaboration avec des membres de l'Académie des technologies, a estimé souhaitable de faire un état des lieux aussi complet et précis que possible. Elle s'est assurée la participation essentielle des spécialistes les plus compétents dans les secteurs actuellement les plus actifs. Après avoir présenté le cadre général du problème posé au point de vue scientifique technique et industriel, ce texte analyse quatre types de solutions, qui concernent les métaux liquides, les gaz et les sels fondus. Il souligne finalement les problèmes communs à ces solutions, mais aussi les caractéristiques différentes auxquelles elles conduisent, notamment en ce qui concerne la taille et le régime thermique des réacteurs. L'ouvrage est complété par un CD rom contenant l'ensemble des présentations scientifiques effectuées

    Abstract: L'agriculture est-elle toujours une affaire de famille ? Cet ouvrage analyse les transformations du caractère familial de l'agriculture en France, mises en perspective avec quelques éclairages de situations dans les pays du Sud. La première partie de l'ouvrage rend compte des recompositions de l'exploitation agricole et de ses enjeux, exploitation qui est de moins en moins familiale, tout en le restant. Elle propose des cadres d'analyse élargis pour les appréhender. Les transformations des formes familiales d'agriculture sont abordées dans une deuxième partie par l'étude des mutations qui s'opèrent dans le travail en agriculture. Ces mutations amènent à questionner le sens du travail et les interfaces avec le vivre en famille et les activités non-agricoles, au-delà des seules problématiques d'organisation et de performances technico-économiques. La troisième partie de l'ouvrage montre que les cadres structurant l'activité agricole dépassent le champ de la famille et se renouvellent, en particulier dans les formes d'insertion territoriale, dans les modalités des processus d'innovation et par des reconfigurations de l'action collective de proximité. Finalement, les transformations du caractère familial, saisies dans le temps long des trajectoires d'exploitations, sont aussi observées dans les formes et stratégies de pérennisation et de transmission, qu'il s'agisse de transmettre un statut, une activité, une entreprise, un patrimoine, un outil de production ou encore des savoir-faire. Une synthèse conclusive propose un renouvellement des questions de recherche et plaide pour un décloisonnement des études en agriculture. L'ouvrage rassemble des travaux de recherche récents de chercheurs issus du département Sciences pour l'action et le développement (Sad) de l'Inra et de ses partenaires scientifiques et professionnels. Il fait une large place à des travaux de jeunes chercheurs et à des thèses récemment soutenues. D'abord destiné aux chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs, il s'adresse également aux organisations professionnelles (instituts techniques, réseaux associatifs, syndicats, chambres d'agriculture, etc.)
