Résumé : International audience
BackgroundRecent evidence suggests that autonomic nervous system activity could be involved in thepathophysiology of sickle cell disease, but it is unclear whether differences in autonomic nervoussystem activity are detectable during steady state in patients with mild and severe disease.The aim of the present study was to compare the autonomic nervous system activity, bloodrheology, and inflammation in patients with sickle cell anemia according to the frequency ofacute pain crisis.Design and MethodsTwenty-four healthy volunteers, 20 patients with sickle cell anemia with milder disease, and15 patients with sickle cell anemia with more severe disease were recruited. Milder disease wasdefined as having no pain crisis within the previous year. More severe disease was defined ashaving had within the previous year three or more pain crises which were documented by aphysician and required treatment with narcotics. The autonomic nervous system activity wasdetermined by spectral analysis of nocturnal heart rate variability. Blood viscosity determinationand measurements of several inflammatory markers (interleukin-6, soluble vascular celladhesion molecule-1, soluble CD40 ligand and sL-selectin) were made on blood samples collectedin steady-state conditions.ResultsResults showed that: 1) patients who had suffered more frequent pain crises had lowerparasympathetic activity and greater sympatho-vagal imbalance than both controls andpatients with milder disease. However, when adjusted for age, no significant difference wasdetected between the two sickle cell anemia patient groups; 2) patients who had suffered morefrequent pain crises had higher blood viscosity than patients with milder disease, and this wasnot dependent on age.ConclusionsResults from the present study indicate that both the autonomic nervous system activity andblood viscosity are impaired in patients with sickle cell anemia exhibiting high frequency ofpain crisis in comparison with those who did not experience a crisis within the previous year.

Résumé : While Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, the abundance of trees is skewed strongly towards relatively few 'hyperdominant' species. In addition to their diversity, Amazonian trees are a key component of the global carbon cycle, assimilating and storing more carbon than any other ecosystem on Earth. Here we ask, using a unique data set of 530 forest plots, if the functions of storing and producing woody carbon are concentrated in a small number of tree species, whether the most abundant species also dominate carbon cycling, and whether dominant species are characterized by specific functional traits. We find that dominance of forest function is even more concentrated in a few species than is dominance of tree abundance, with only ≈1% of Amazon tree species responsible for 50% of carbon storage and productivity. Although those species that contribute most to biomass and productivity are often abundant, species maximum size is also influential, while the identity and ranking of dominant species varies by function and by region.

Résumé : [b]1.[/b] Plant functional traits, in particular specific leaf area (SLA), wood density and seed mass, are often good predictors of individual tree growth rates within communities. Individuals and species with high SLA, low wood density and small seeds tend to have faster growth rates.[br/][br/][b]2.[/b] If community-level relationships between traits and growth have general predictive value, then similar relationships should also be observed in analyses that integrate across taxa, biogeographic regions and environments. Such global consistency would imply that traits could serve as valuable proxies for the complex suite of factors that determine growth rate, and, therefore, could underpin a new generation of robust dynamic vegetation models. Alternatively, growth rates may depend more strongly on the local environment or growth–trait relationships may vary along environmental gradients.[br/][br/][b]3.[/b] We tested these alternative hypotheses using data on 27 352 juvenile trees, representing 278 species from 27 sites on all forested continents, and extensive functional trait data, 38% of which were obtained at the same sites at which growth was assessed. Data on potential evapotranspiration (PET), which summarizes the joint ecological effects of temperature and precipitation, were obtained from a global data base.[br/][br/][b]4.[/b] We estimated size-standardized relative height growth rates (SGR) for all species, then related them to functional traits and PET using mixed-effect models for the fastest growing species and for all species together.[br/][br/][b]5.[/b] Both the mean and 95th percentile SGR were more strongly associated with functional traits than with PET. PET was unrelated to SGR at the global scale. SGR increased with increasing SLA and decreased with increasing wood density and seed mass, but these traits explained only 3.1% of the variation in SGR. SGR–trait relationships were consistently weak across families and biogeographic zones, and over a range of tree statures. Thus, the most widely studied functional traits in plant ecology were poor predictors of tree growth over large scales.[br/][br/][b]6.[/b] Synthesis. We conclude that these functional traits alone may be unsuitable for predicting growth of trees over broad scales. Determining the functional traits that predict vital rates under specific environmental conditions may generate more insight than a monolithic global relationship can offer.

Résumé : Estimating diversity and abundance of fish is fundamental for the understanding of community structure and dynamics of coral reefs. Observations are generally gathered using Underwater Visual Census (UVC). These informations can also be collected by underwater video techniques involving no diver and allowing a high spatial and temporal coverage. The first part of this PhD thesis is a review of publications using underwater video techniques between 1952 and 2012. The second part present two rotating video systems used to study the diversity of ichthyofauna and habitats in the lagoon of New Caledonia: the STAVIRO (for "STAtion VIdeo ROtative") and the MICADO (for "Module d’Imagerie Côtier, Autonome pour le Développement de l’Observation sous-marine"). The third part of this work is a comparison of these techniques with UVCs and an analysis of the “observer effect” for the rotating video techniques. The comparison between rotating video systems and UVC showed that: (i) fish community data collected by UVC and by STAVIRO differed significantly; (ii) species richness and density of large species were not significantly different between techniques; (iii) species richness and density of small species were higher for UVC; (iv) density of fished species was higher for STAVIRO; and (v) only UVC detected significant differences in fish assemblages structure across reef type. The comparison of fish counts obtained from the same videos by different observers showed that for a defined list of species, estimates of species richness and total abundance can be considered as similar between observers with sufficient experiences (> 6 months). The last part of this PhD is an application of rotating video techniques to the study of daily temporal variations of the ichthyofauna. Daily variations were observed depending on the time of day and the tidal state and typical patterns of variations have been described for some species groups. The outcomes of this work bring original insights of new techniques complementary to traditional techniques in order to enhance our understanding of the functioning and dynamic of coral reef.
L’estimation de la diversité et de l’abondance des espèces de poissons est fondamentale pour comprendre la structure des communautés et la dynamique des récifs coralliens. Les observations sont généralement obtenues par des recensements visuels en scaphandre autonome (UVC). Ces informations peuvent également être obtenues de manière originale grâce aux observations issues des techniques vidéo sous-marines modernes sans plongeur qui permettent des couvertures spatiales et temporelles accrues. La première phase de ce travail de thèse synthétise l’ensemble des travaux ayant été effectués avec des techniques vidéo entre 1952 et 2012. La seconde phase, présente deux systèmes vidéo rotatifs complémentaires, utilisés pour étudier la diversité de l’ichtyofaune et des habitats marins dans le lagon de Nouvelle-Calédonie : le STAVIRO (pour « STAtion VIdéo ROtative ») et le MICADO (pour « Module d’Imagerie Côtier, Autonome pour le Développement de l’Observation sous-marine »). La troisième phase de ce travail consiste à comparer ces systèmes vidéo aux UVC puis à examiner l’effet « observateur » inhérent aux techniques vidéo rotatives. Il résulte de cette étude que : (i) les observations des communautés de poissons par UVC et STAVIRO différaient significativement, (ii) la richesse spécifique et la densité des espèces de grande taille n'étaient pas significativement différentes entre les techniques, (iii) la diversité et la densité des espèces de petite taille étaient plus élevés avec les UVC; (iv) la densité des espèces pêchées était plus élevée avec les STAVIRO et (v) seuls les UVC ont détecté des différences de structure des assemblages en fonction du type de récif. L’étude de l’effet « observateur » a montré que sur une liste d’espèces définie, les dénombrements et les identifications des individus peuvent être considérées comme similaires entre observateurs ayant une expérience suffisante (> 6 mois). La dernière phase de ce travail a permis d’appliquer la technique MICADO à l’étude des variations temporelles de l’ichtyofaune d’un site corallien à l’échelle de la journée. Elle a permis de mettre en évidence des variations cycliques journalières en fonction de l’heure et de la marée et des « profils type » de variations ont pu être identifiés pour certains groupes d’espèces. Ce travail de thèse permet ainsi de participer au développement de nouvelles techniques d’observations complémentaires des techniques traditionnelles afin d’enrichir les connaissances du fonctionnement et de la dynamique des écosystèmes coralliens.

Résumé : Society's needs for a network of in situ ocean observing systems cross many areas of earth and marine science. Here we review the science themes that benefit from data supplied from ocean observatories. Understanding from existing studies is fragmented to the extent that it lacks the coherent long-term monitoring needed to address questions at the scales essential to understand climate change and improve geo-hazard early warning. Data sets from the deep sea are particularly rare with long-term data available from only a few locations worldwide. These science areas have impacts on societal health and well-being and our awareness of ocean function in a shifting climate. Substantial efforts are underway to realise a network of open-ocean observatories around European Seas that will operate over multiple decades. Some systems are already collecting high-resolution data from surface, water column, seafloor, and sub-seafloor sensors linked to shore by satellite or cable connection in real or near-real time, along with samples and other data collected in a delayed mode. We expect that such observatories will contribute to answering major ocean science questions including: How can monitoring of factors such as seismic activity, pore fluid chemistry and pressure, and gas hydrate stability improve seismic, slope failure, and tsunami warning? What aspects of physical oceanography, biogeochemical cycling, and ecosystems will be most sensitive to climatic and anthropogenic change? What are natural versus anthropogenic changes? Most fundamentally, how are marine processes that occur at differing scales related? The development of ocean observatories provides a substantial opportunity for ocean science to evolve in Europe. Here we also describe some basic attributes of network design. Observatory networks provide the means to coordinate and integrate the collection of standardised data capable of bridging measurement scales across a dispersed area in European Seas adding needed certainty to estimates of future oceanic conditions. Observatory data can be analysed along with other data such as those from satellites, drifting floats, autonomous underwater vehicles, model analysis, and the known distribution and abundances of marine fauna in order to address some of the questions posed above. Standardised methods for information management are also becoming established to ensure better accessibility and traceability of these data sets and ultimately to increase their use for societal benefit. The connection of ocean observatory effort into larger frameworks including the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) and the Global Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES) is integral to its success. It is in a greater integrated framework that the full potential of the component systems will be realised. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Résumé : Cette thèse a été publiée dans une version remaniée et adaptée sous le titre "Niveaux C1 et C2 pour le français du Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues, éléments pour un référentiel", Riba, P., (2016), Didier éd, Paris
This thesis sets out to examine the problems of description and specification pertaining to the C levels of the Common European Reference Framework for Languages , known as the experienced–user levels (C1 - Autonomy and C2 - Mastery), for French. It forms part of the efforts to establish yardsticks suggested by the Council of Europe and undertaken in various European countries, including France, whereby the A and B levels have already been described (J.C. Beacco, S. Bouquet, R. Porquier, 2004 ; J.C. Beacco, R. Porquier, 2007 ; J.C. Beacco, S. Lepage, R. Porquier, P. Riba, 2008 ; J.C. Beacco, B. Blin, E. Houles, S. Lepage, P. Riba, pending publication). The notional and functional components, discourse genres, functions, notions, morphosyntactic categories, phonetic content and cultural competencies and learner strategies pertaing to levels C1 and C2 have been described based on three methodological approaches that are respectively intuitive, experimental and based on the creation of standards. The thesis focuses on researching the cut-off points between levels B2, C1 and C2, which are of use to designers of teaching methods and curricula, examination writers and teachers, and it proposes the establishment of a C2+ level, which is didactically compatible with the contradictory notions of “final language level˝ and lifelong learning.
Cette thèse a pour objet la problématique de la description et la spécification des niveaux C duCadre européen commun de référence pour les langues, dits niveaux de l’utilisateurexpérimenté (C1 autonome, C2 maîtrise) pour le français. Elle s’inscrit dans la dynamique deréférentialisation souhaitée par le Conseil de l’Europe et engagée dans plusieurs payseuropéens, y compris en France, où les niveaux A et B ont déjà été décrits : B2, (J.C. Beacco,S. Bouquet, R. Porquier, (2004), A1, J.C. Beacco, R. Porquier, (2007), A2, J.C. Beacco, S.Lepage, R. Porquier, P. Riba, (2008), B1, J.C. Beacco, B. Blin, E. Houles, S. Lepage, P. Riba,(2010).La description des éléments notionnels et fonctionnels des niveaux C1 et C2, genresdiscursifs, fonctions, notions, catégories morphosyntaxiques, matière phonique, matièregraphique, compétences culturelles et stratégies d’apprentissage, a été établie en suivant troisvoies méthodologiques, intuitive, expérimentale et d’étalonnage.Elle se focalise sur la recherche des points de césure entre B2, C1 et C2 utiles pour les auteursde méthodes ou de curriculums, les concepteurs d’examens et les enseignants et elle proposeune spécification d’un niveau C2+, didactiquement compatible avec les notions paradoxalesde « dernier niveau de langue » et d’apprentissage tout au long de la vie.

Résumé : Les biofilms électroactifs (EA) sont des consortia bactériens mono ou pluri-espèces, qui ont la faculté d’échanger des électrons provenant de leur métabolisme avec les surfaces solides conductrices des électrodes. Cette découverte est à l’origine d’un nouveau dispositif énergétique : la pile à combustible microbienne (PACM). Depuis les années 2000, la littérature scientifique sur les biofilms EA et sur les PACM explose, notamment grâce à la découverte de bactéries capables de transférer par voie directe – par des pili ou protéines transmembranaires – des électrons vers les électrodes. Plusieurs sources de bactéries EA ont été à ce jour découvertes, allant de cultures pures à des communautés bactériennes plus complexes. Ces dernières sont issues de milieux aqueux naturels (milieux marins ou d’eau douce), industriels ou urbains (effluents d’industrie, eaux usées domestiques). La plupart de ces sources bactériennes proviennent d’environnements de climat tempéré. Dans ce travail de thèse, plusieurs sols de milieux humides de la Guyane ont été identifiés comme étant de sources de bactéries EA. Les expériences menées sous potentiel d’électrode imposé et constant ont permis d’étudier l’adhésion à la surface d’électrode des biofilms EA issus de la flore endogène des milieux sélectionnés. La formation de bioanodes et de biocathodes a été possible en présence respectivement d’acétate et d’oxygène dans les milieux. Une étude par voltammétrie cyclique a mis en évidence les pics d’oxydo-réduction en lien avec les échanges électroniques du biofilm EA et de l’électrode. En optimisant la procédure de formation des biofilms EA par chronoampérométrie (surface d’électrode plus importante, apport en continu et progressif du substrat), une densité de courant maximale de 12 A/m2 et un rendement faradique de 24 % ont été obtenus. Une autre méthode pour former des biofilms EA à partir d’un milieu choisi, la mangrove, a consisté à utiliser deux prototypes de PACM : une pile à compartiment unique et à cathode à air, et une pile benthique. Dans les deux cas, les biofilms EA ont pu être formés et étudiés, complétant certaines observations faites sous potentiel imposé. La PACM benthique s’est avérée être la plus proche d’une application à grande échelle puisqu’elle a été complètement autonome : anode et cathode utilisant uniquement le milieu pour fonctionner. Elle a pu être étudiée en laboratoire comme sur le terrain.
Electroactive biofilms (EA) are mono or multi-species bacterial consortia, which have the ability to exchange electrons from their metabolism with solid surfaces of conductive electrodes. This discovery is the basis for a device of energy production: microbial fuel cell (MFC). Since the 2000s, the scientific literature on EA biofilms and MFC explodes, thanks to the discovery of bacteria that are able to transfer directly – by pili or trans-membrane proteins – electrons to electrodes. Several sources of EA bacteria were discovered to date, ranging from pure cultures to more complex bacterial communities. Those last are from natural (marine and freshwater), industrial or urban (industrial effluents, domestic wastewater) aqueous environments. However, the vast majority of these are from temperate environments.In this thesis, several wetland soils of French Guiana have been identified as sources of EA bacteria. Experiments under poised and constant electrode potential were used to examine adherence to the electrode surface of EA biofilms from the endogenous flora of selected environments. Formation of bioanodes and biocathodes was possible in the presence respectively of acetate and oxygen in the media. A study by cyclic voltammetry showed the redox peaks related to electronic exchanges between EA biofilm and electrode. By optimizing the process of EA biofilm formation by chronoamperometry (larger electrode surface, providing continuous and progressive substrate), a maximum current density of 12 A/m2 and a coulombic efficiency of 24% were obtained.Another method to form EA biofilms from a chosen medium (mangrove) was to use two MFC prototypes: a single compartment and air cathode one, and a benthic one. In both cases, the EA biofilms have been trained and studied supplementing certain observations made under poised polarization. MFC benthic proved to be the closest to a wide application since it was completely autonomous, anode and cathode only using the medium to function. It has been studied in the laboratory and in the field.

Résumé : International audience
It is known that a locally Lipschitz function f is approximately convex if, and only if, its Clarke subdifferential ∂C f is a submonotone operator. The main object of this work is to extend the above characterization to the class of lower semicontinuous functions. To this end, we establish a new approximate mean value inequality involving three points. We also show that an analogue of the Rockafellar maximal monotonicity theorem holds for this class of functions and we discuss the case of arbitrary subdifferentials

Résumé : International audience
New magnetotelluric and receiver transfer function studies provide insights from the upper to the lower crust of the eastern Betic Cordillera, which is deformed by large folds, normal faults, and a major transcurrent left-lateral fault, the Carboneras Fault Zone (CFZ). Receiver function analysis determines a NNW dipping Moho reaching 20 degrees that increases in depth, from 20 km south of the CFZ up to 34 km in the Sierra de Los Filabres. In addition, seismic discontinuities determined in the upper crust are interpreted as major contacts between metamorphic complexes that are detached and folded. The MT inversion model reveals a conductive zone, also representing a crustal seismic discontinuity, associated with the Alpujarride/Nevado-Filabride contact and fitting the N vergent geometry of the Sierra Alhamilla antiform. A small flexure at Moho coincides with the CFZ, as revealed by the Bouguer anomaly trend, in agreement with the receiver function results. Moreover, the Bahr strike and tipper angle at the stations placed closest to the CFZ clearly reveal the continuity of the CFZ at least down to approximately 15 km in depth, crossing all the detected crustal discontinuities up to the Moho. The lack of a clear Moho offset associated with the Carboneras Fault supports the idea that some large strike-slip faults tend to accommodate the deformation by a broadening fault zone at lower crustal levels. Its nucleation could occur at the base of a thin crust, where melting processes critically reduced the lithospheric strength during the late Miocene, to then propagate upward, reaching the topographic surface. Northward, the lithosphere comprised moderately larger strength, and the crustal discontinuities favored the development of larger folds with kilometric amplitude instead of strike-slip faults since the late Miocene.

Résumé : Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species' threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodiversity indicators, is necessary to enable better understanding of historical declines and to project - and avert - future declines. We describe and assess a new database of more than 1.6 million samples from 78 countries representing over 28,000 species, collated from existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world. The database contains measurements taken in 208 (of 814) ecoregions, 13 (of 14) biomes, 25 (of 35) biodiversity hotspots and 16 (of 17) megadiverse countries. The database contains more than 1% of the total number of all species described, and more than 1% of the described species within many taxonomic groups - including flowering plants, gymnosperms, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, beetles, lepidopterans and hymenopterans. The dataset, which is still being added to, is therefore already considerably larger and more representative than those used by previous quantitative models of biodiversity trends and responses. The database is being assembled as part of the PREDICTS project (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems - ). We make site-level summary data available alongside this article. The full database will be publicly available in 2015.

The goal of our experiment is to develop a useful and accessible tool that can be used to evaluate a patient's health by analyzing handwritten strokes. We use a cloud computing approach to analyze stroke data sampled on a commercial tablet working on the Android platform and a distant server to perform complex calculations using the Delta and Sigma lognormal algorithms. A Google Drive account is used to store the data and to ease the development of the project. The communication between the tablet, the cloud and the server is encrypted to ensure biomedical information confidentiality. Highly parameterized biomedical tests are implemented on the tablet as well as a free drawing test to evaluate the validity of the data acquired by the first test compared to the second one. A blurred shape model descriptor pattern recognition algorithm is used to classify the data obtained by the free drawing test. The functions presented in this paper are still currently under development and other improvements are needed before launching the application in the public domain.

Résumé : International audience
This paper provides a synthesis of current data and interpretations on the crustal structure of the Pyrenean-Cantabrian orogenic belt, and presents new tectonic models for representative transects. The Pyrenean orogeny lasted from Santonian (~84 Ma) to early Miocene times (~20 Ma), and consisted of a spatial and temporal succession of oceanic crust/exhumed mantle subduction, rift inversion and continental collision processes at the Iberia-Eurasia plate boundary. A good coverage by active-source (vertical-incidence and wide-angle reflection) and passive-source (receiver functions) seismic studies, coupled with surface data have led to a reasonable knowledge of the present-day crustal architecture of the Pyrenean-Cantabrian belt, although questions remain. Seismic imaging reveals a persistent structure, from the central Pyrenees to the central Cantabrian Mountains, consisting of a wedge of Eurasian lithosphere indented into the thicker Iberian plate, whose lower crust is detached and plunges northwards into the mantle. For the Pyrenees, a new scheme of relationships between the southern upper crustal thrust sheets and the Axial Zone is here proposed. For the Cantabrian belt, the depth reached by the N-dipping Iberian crust and the structure of the margin are also revised.The common occurrence of lherzolite bodies in the northern Pyrenees and the seismic velocity and potential field record of the Bay of Biscay indicate that the precursor of the Pyrenees was a hyperextended and strongly segmented rift system, where narrow domains of exhumed mantle separated the thinned Iberian and Eurasian continental margins since the Albian-Cenomanian. The exhumed mantle in the Pyrenean rift was largely covered by a Mesozoic sedimentary lid that had locally glided along detachments in Triassic evaporites. Continental margin collision in the Pyrenees was preceded by subduction of the exhumed mantle, accompanied by the pop-up thrust expulsion of the off-scraped sedimentary lid above. To the west, oceanic subduction of the Bay of Biscay under the North Iberian margin is supported by an upper plate thrust wedge, gravity and magnetic anomalies, and 3D inclined sub-crustal reflections. However, discrepancies remain for the location of continent-ocean transitions in the Bay of Biscay and for the extent of oceanic subduction. The plate-kinematic evolution during the Mesozoic, which involves issues as the timing and total amount of opening, as well as the role of strike-slip drift, is also under debate, discrepancies arising from first-order interpretations of the adjacent oceanic magnetic anomaly record.
