Résumé : Hugh C. Macfarlane, an immigrant from Scotland, purchased land in November 1886 and built a cigar factory that started production on .June 15, 1892. Macfarlane and other developers offered free land and buildings, bringing in more cigar factories and growth that led to the formation of the City of West Tampa on May 18, 1895. Other immigrants from Cuba, Spain, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Germany and different parts of the United States made up the population, giving the town its distinctive, vibrant character. After thirty years as a prospering municipality West Tampa was annexed to the City of Tampa on January 1, 1925.

Résumé : International audience
The anisotropy of vibrational properties influences the acoustic behaviour of wooden pieces and their dependence on grain angle (GA). As most pieces of wood include some GA, either for technological reasons or due to grain deviations inside trunks, predicting its repercussions would be useful. This paper aims at evaluating the variability in the anisotropy of wood vibrational properties and analysing resulting trends as a function of orientation. GA dependence is described by a model based on transformation formulas applied to complex compliances, and literature data on anisotropic vibrational properties are reviewed. Ranges of variability, as well as representative sets of viscoelastic anisotropic parameters, are defined for mean hardwoods and softwoods and for contrasted wood types. GA-dependence calculations are in close agreement with published experimental results and allow comparing the sensitivity of different woods to GA. Calculated trends in damping coefficient (tanδ) and in specific modulus of elasticity (E′/ρ) allow reconstructing the general tanδ-E′/ρ statistical relationships previously reported. Trends for woods with different mechanical parameters merge into a single curve if anisotropic ratios (both elastic and of damping) are correlated between them, and with axial properties, as is indicated by the collected data. On the other hand, varying damping coefficient independently results in parallel curves, which coincide with observations on chemically modified woods, either “artificially”, or by natural extractives.

Résumé : International audience
This study aims at better understanding the respective influences of specific gravity (γ), microfibril angle (MFA), and cell-wall matrix polymers on viscoelastic vibrational properties of wood in axial direction. The wide variations of properties between normal wood (NW) and compression wood (CW) are in focus. Three young bent trees (Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris and Pinus pinaster) that recovered verticality were sampled. Several observed differences between NW and CW were highly significant in terms of anatomical, physical (γ, shrinkage, CIELab colorimetry), mechanical (compressive strength), and vibrational properties. Specific dynamic modulus of elasticity (E'/γ) decreases with increasing MFA, and Young's modulus (E') can be satisfactorily explained by γ and MFA. Apparently, the type of the cell wall polymer matrix is not influential in this regard. The damping coefficient (tanδ) does not depend solely on MFA of NW and CW. The tanδ - E'/γ relationship evidences that, at equivalent E'/γ, the tanδ of CW is approx. 34% lower than that of NW. This observation is ascribed to the more condensed nature of CW lignins, and this is discussed in the context of previous findings in other hygrothermal and time/frequency domains. It is proposed that the lignin structure and the amount and type of extractives, which are both different in various species, are partly responsible for taxonomy-related damping characteristics.

Résumé : Les bactéries appartenant au genre Vibrio sont largement répandues en milieu côtier tropical et tempéré. Certaines espèces sont pathogènes pour l'homme, comme Vibrio cholerae 01 et 0139 responsables du choléra, ou V. cholerae non-01/non-0139, V. parahaemolyticus et V. vulnificus impliqués dans de nombreuses pathologies (gastro-entérites, des septicémies et autres infections). En France, le risque associé à la présence de vibrions en milieu marin est mal évalué. Ce rapport fait le bilan des données disponibles sur la contamination littorale et les infections à vibrions en France. Une large place a été consacrée aux études écologiques, réalisées sur les sites d'implantation des centrales nucléaires sur le littoral français. Dans la population, le nombre d'infections est restreint car seules les pathologies graves sont recensées. Il s'agit de cas isolés, le plus souvent immuno-déprimés, enregistrés en été et en automne. Le milieu marin (par contact, baignade ou consommation de produits de la mer) est très souvent cité comme source probable de la contamination. Un petit nombre d'espèces de vibrions est concerné (V. alginolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae non-01/non-0139 et V. hollisae). Dans l'environnement marin, l'espèce dominante est V. alginolyticus ; V. vulnificus et V. parahaemolyticus sont détectés sporadiquement. Le suivi, pendant plus de dix ans, des effets d'un réchauffement artificiel des eaux littorales à Gravelines a souligné des modifications sur les populations de Vibrio marins (présence des Vibrio en hiver, augmentation de la densité bactérienne et de la diversité spécifique). Le développement de techniques de biologie moléculaire devrait permettre une meilleure évaluation du risque sanitaire en quantifiant et en caractérisant les vibrions présents en milieu côtier (stade viable non cultivable, maintien du pouvoir pathogène et virulence des souches présentes).

Résumé : International audience
*Context Increased knowledge on diversity in wood properties would have implications both for fundamental research and for promoting a diversification of uses as material. *Aims The objective is to contribute to overcoming the critical lack of data on the diversity of wood dynamic mechanical/viscoelastic vibrational properties, by testing lesser-known species and categorizing sources of variability. *Methods Air-dry axial specific dynamic modulus of elasticity (E'/γ) and damping coefficient (tanδ) were measured on a wide sampling (1792 specimens) of 98 wood types from 79 species. An experimental device and protocol was designed for conducting systematic (i.e. rapid and reproducible) characterizations. *Results Diversity at the specimens' level corroborates the "standard" relationship between tanδ and E'/γ, which is discussed in terms of orientation of wood elements and of chemical composition. Diversity at the species level is expressed on the basis of results for normal heartwood, with specific gravity (γ) ranging from 0.2 to 1.3. Axial E'/γ ranges from 9 to 32 GPa and tanδ from 4×10-3 to 19×10-3. Properties distribution follows a continuum, but with group characteristics. The lowest values of tanδ are only found in certain tropical hardwoods. Results can also suggest alternative species for musical instruments making.

Résumé : International audience
Extractives can affect vibrational properties tanδ (damping coefficient) and E'/ρ (specific Young's modulus) but this is highly dependent on species, compounds, and cellular locations. This paper investigates such effects for African Padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii Taub.), a tropical hardwood with high extractives content and a preferred material for xylophones. 5 groups of 26 heartwood specimens with large, yet comparable, ranges in vibrational properties were extracted in different solvents. Changes in vibrational properties were set against yields of extracts and evaluation of their cellular location. Methanol (ME) reached most of compounds (13%), located about half in lumen and half in cell-wall. Water solubility was extremely low. tanδ and E'/ρ were very strongly related (R2≥0.93), but native wood had abnormally low values of tanδ, while extraction shifted this relation towards higher tanδ values. ME extracted heartwood became in agreement with the average of many species, and close to sapwood. Extractions increased tanδ as much as 60%, irrespective of minute moisture changes or of initial properties. Apparent E'/ρ was barely changed (+2% to -4%) but, after correcting the mass contribution of extracts, was in fact slightly reduced (down to -10% for high E'/ρ), and increasingly so for specimens with low initial values of E'/ρ.

Résumé : This paper presents a collection of wood species with important uses in musical instruments, in reference to historical and geographical cultural specificities, with ranges of viscoelastic vibrational properties by species. Data combine our experimental characterizations and extensive literature review, gathered in a specific relational database. An overview of vibrational properties' distribution on c.400 species is introduced. Two case studies of wood choices for a given function in different epochs or regions are presented: woods for European historical bows, and woods for idiophone bodies in different continents. Trends are contrasted: very different properties associated to historical changes in the first case; some common features over different regions in the second one.

Résumé : International audience
The vibration damping coefficient (tanδ) of wood is an important property for acoustical uses, including musical instruments. Current difficulties in the availability of some of the preferred species call for diversification, but this comes up against the lack of systematic damping coefficient data. * Keeping in mind the possible factors affecting tanδ, could we predict its variations between species, by using indicators that are either easily measured and/or readily available for many species? * Vibrational properties, equilibrium moisture content and colorimetric parameters were assessed on 94 wood types belonging to 76 species. Experimental results were then related to data on chemical contents and physical properties from the CIRAD database. The "standard" relationship between tanδ and specific modulus of elasticity (E'/ρ) explained only half of the variations. Deviations from this trend were correlated to extractives content, yet effects were not directly quantitative. Damping deviations were also correlated to colour and moisture-related properties, especially so with fibre saturation point. * By taking into account a combination of moisture-related properties, colour - or extractives content, and the "standard" relationship between tanδ and E'/ρ, we could propose simple predictive models which explain up to 89% of observed variations in tanδ between 48 species.

Résumé : International audience
Radial trends of vibrational properties, including the specific dynamic modulus (E'/r) and damping coefficient (tand), were investigated for 3 tropical rainforest hardwood species, Simarouba amara, Carapa procera and Symphonia globulifera by free-free flexural vibration test. The microfibril angle (MFA) was estimated through X-Ray diffraction. Consistent patterns of radial variations were observed for all studied properties. E'/r was found to decrease from pith to bark, which is strongly related to the increasing pith-bark trend of MFA. The variation of tand along the radius can be partly explained by MFA, and partly by the gradient of extractives due to heartwood formation. The coupling effect of MFA and extractives could be separated through the analysis of log(tand) - log(E'/r) diagram. For the studied species, the extractive content putatively associated to heartwood formation generally tends to decrease the wood damping coefficient. However, this weakening effect of extractives was not observed for inner part of the heartwood, suggesting the mechanical action of extractives was reduced during their chemical ageing.

Résumé : International audience
The data available in the literature concerning wood cutting forces permit to build models or to simulate the main wood machining processes (milling, sawing, peeling etc.). This approach contributes to a better understanding of formation of wood surfaces and chips and the data may be helpful to optimize cutting geometry, reduce tool wear, improve tool material, and to size tool-machines. The models may also be useful for industrial application in two ways: (1) providing data to optimise the settings for a given operation (batch approach) and (2) building predictive models that could be the basis of an online control systems for the machining processes (interactive approach). A prerequisite for this is that numerous machining tests on different wood materials are performed based on experiences with different kind of tools and experimental devices. With potential industrial applications in focus, the emphasis of this review was on the wood peeling process, which is a very demanding special case of wood cutting. Though not so many industrial machines are equipped with expensive force sensors, there is a lot of high quality information available about cutting forces which may be useful to improve the scientific or technologic knowledge in wood machining. Alternative parameters, such as vibration or sound measurements, appear to be promising substitutes in the praxis, particularly to feed online control systems of any wood cutting process.

Résumé : International audience
Grain deviations and high extractives content are common features of many tropical woods. We aimed at clarifying their respective impact on vibrational properties, referring to African Padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii Taub.), a species selected for its interlocked grain, high extractives content, and uses in xylophones. Specimens were cut parallel to the trunk axis (L), and local variations in grain angle (GA), microfibril angle (MFA), specific Young's modulus (E'L/ρ, where r stands for specific gravity) and damping coefficient (tanδL), were measured. GA dependence was analyzed by a mechanical model which allowed to identify the specific Young's modulus (E'3/ρ) and shear modulus (G'/ρ) along the grain (3), as well as their corresponding damping coefficients (tanδ3, tanδG). This analysis was done for native and then for extracted wood. Interlocked grain resulted in 0-25° GA and in variations of a factor 2 in E'L/ρ and tanδL. Along the grain, Padauk wood was characterized, as compared to typical hardwoods, by a somewhat lower E'3/ρ and elastic anisotropy (E'/G'), due to a wide microfibril angle plus a small weight effect of extracts; and a very low tanδ3 and moderate damping anisotropy (tanδG/tanδ3). Extraction affected mechanical parameters in the order: tanδ3 ≈ tanδG > G'/ρ >> E'3/ρ. That is, extractives' effects were nearly isotropic on damping but clearly anisotropic on storage moduli.

Résumé : International audience
The subterranean environment is often described as “extreme” and food poor. Laboratory experiments have shown that blind Mexican tetra Astyanax mexicanus (De Filippi, 1853) cavefish are better at finding food in the dark than surface fish. Several morphological and behavioural attributes that could foster this obvious adaptive response to cave environments have been described. Nonetheless, it is currently unknown what young cavefish actually eat in their natural cave environment. Our results from the Pachón cave in México during the dry and rainy season show that fry are efficient predators in their natural cave environment. Their primary food item is aquatic crustaceans. The guts of post-larval, pre-juvenile stage individuals (n=9) contained an average of 17.9 water fleas (Cladocera), copepods, ostracods, and isopods. Thus, the fry in this cave are well-fed. The Pachón cave environment does not appear to be “food poor” for juvenile cavefish. Food regimes change between post-larval and adult stages to become more dependent on partially decomposed material, guano, or detritus from the mud. We discuss the data with regards to our current developmental and genetic understanding of cavefish morphological and behavioural evolution, particularly regarding its enhanced Vibration Attraction Behaviour (VAB).

Résumé : International audience
Some morphological and biochemical taxonomic markers are also affecting factors of dynamic mechanical properties of wood. Thus, could these properties reflect the classification/phylogeny of taxa? This work is a first insight into this question. It relied on the gathering (through experimental campaigns and exhaustive literature review) of a large database on the viscoelastic (i.e. including damping) vibrational properties of 445 woody species. relationship between damping was confirmed at a wide interspecific scale, but described no more than 40% of not in a way that could be easily related to the phylogenetic tree. Damping was a bit more -Papilionoideae and, to a lesser extent, Lauraceae, Cupressaceae and Moraceae) damping than average, independently While for some other families no clear characteristics could be observed at least with the present number of represented species. In the future, increasing the amount of data and compiling anatomical and chemical markers / affecting factors will allow further analysis at sub-family levels, and a better understanding of this wide topic.

Résumé : International audience
To study the associations between occupation, industry and prostate cancer risk in Guadeloupe, a high incidence area. Incident cases of prostate cancer (707 cases) and 722 population controls were included. Information on lifetime occupational history and other potential risk factors was collected by interview. Logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds-ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). A significantly decreased risk was observed in farmers (OR=0.5; CI 0.4-0.7), whereas marginally elevated ORs were found for farm workers, especially in sugarcane and banana farming. Banana plantation workers had been exposed to chlordecone, an estrogenic insecticide previously found to be associated with prostate cancer risk in this population. Significantly increased risks of prostate cancer were found in stock clerks (OR=2.7; CI 1.0-7.2), fishermen (OR=2.0; CI 1.0-4.0), mail distribution clerks (OR=7.7; CI 1.7-34.4) and electricians employed for more than 20 years (OR=4.0; CI 1.0-15.8), as well as in public administration (OR=1.8; CI 1.2-2.9), retail trade (OR=2.6; CI 1.1-6.0) and manufacture of food products (OR=2.0; CI 1.1-3.9), particularly sugar (OR=13.2; IC 1.6-108). Non-significantly elevated ORs were also seen for construction workers and transport equipment operators. Although the overall findings suggest that occupational factors have only a limited role in prostate cancer aetiology, elevated risks of prostate cancer were found in several occupations or industries. Exposure to pesticides, solvents, traffic-related air pollution, low physical activity, whole-body vibration may explain some of these increased risks.

Résumé : International audience
This work shows the preparation and separation performance assessment of carbon membranes derived from phenolic resin by a vacuum-assisted method and carbonisation in an inert atmosphere. The vacuum time played an important role in tailoring the structure of the membranes. For instance, pore volumes and surface areas increased from 0.81 and 834 to 2.2 cm3g−1and 1910 m2g−1, respectively, as the vacuum time exposure increased from 0 to 1200 s. The significant structural changes correlated very well with water permeation, as fluxes increased by 91% as the vacuum time increased from 0 to 1200 s reaching up to 169 L m−2h−1at 5 bar. Molecular weight cut-off tests showed no rejection for the smaller glucose and sucrose molecules, though this increased to ~ 80% and full rejection for 36 kDa and 400 kDa polyvinyl pyrrolidine. Interestingly, FTIR spectra showed that the peaks of C–H stretching vibration (2800–3200 cm−1) and C–O stretching (1030 cm−1) became more pronounced as a function of increasing vacuum time, strongly suggesting that the use of vacuum further assisted in the polycondensation of phenolic oligomers. Based on these outcomes, a cluster to cluster model is proposed, whereby vacuum application promoted crosslinking reactions of the phenolic resin, creating microporous regions within the clusters, and mesoporous regions between the clusters. © 2016 Elsevier B.V

Résumé : As the emergence of new vibriosis in the European Atlantic coasts has been associated with mass mortalities of molluscs cuasing important economic losses, the project obectives are to provide knowledge and operational tools to evaluate the impact of vibriosis on farmed japenese oyster Crassostrea gigas. Facing the diversity of Vibrio species associated to bivalve disease outbreaks, the difficulties of identification and the detemrination of their pathogenic abilities we propose a double approach to correlate phenotype/geneotype of a bacteria with risk of disease : 1) by genotyping we will evaluate if specific strains are associated with disease. 2) by evaluating likely virulence mechanisms implicated in pathogenesis, we will characterise the genes involved. Therefore, new diagnostic test should be used in an epizootiological study to evaluate the importance of these emerging pathogens in farmed bivalves and will be supplied for further exploitation in aquaculture.
Les vibrioses sont les infections bactériennes les plus courantes chez les espèces marines d'intérêt aquacole. Certaines espèces sont pathogènes et ont été associées à d'importantes pertes économiques pour l'industrie aquacole dans le monde. L'objectif principal de mon projet de recherche est de développer des outils diagnostiques pertinents permettant d'évaluer l'impact des vibrioses dans des élevages d'huîtres creuses Crassostrea gigas. Le problème majeur est l'extraordinaire diversité des espèces appartenant à ce genre bactérien, compliquant considérablement leur caractérisation en terme de spéciation et de virulence. Nous développons une double approche pour corréler le phénotype et le génotype de pathogènes potentiels par : 1) une clarification taxonomique des souches de vibrions nous déterminons si certaines espèces sont systématiquement associées à de maladies; 2) une caractérisation des mécanismes de virulence, nous recherchons les gènes supports de la pathogénie. Les marqueurs génétiques ou de virulence mis au point pourront alors être utilisés pour une étude épidémiologique de ces maladies.

Résumé : International audience
The laboratory of paleomagnetism of Montpellier (France) has developed a new one-axis vibrating thermal magnetometer dedicated to the Study of physical properties of natural rocks remanence. Among its key characteristics, this apparatus allows both measurement or the magnetization moment on the interval from room temperature to 700 degrees C with a precision of 2 x 10(-9) A m(2) and acquisition of a total or a partial thermo-remanent magnetization using a steady field from - 100 up to 100 mu T. Another point that is worth noting is that one can apply a controlled atmosphere by means of argon flux to prevent oxidation of the studied sample during heating. We report here a technical description of this new instrument and review some specific applications in absolute paleointensity surveys.
