    Une introduction pour la comptabilité française

    No full text
    Accounting practices differ between France and the United States. Financial statements are formatted similarly on the surface, but when one investigates further, they quickly realize that the contents of the statements are very different. Also, the laws and regulations in France require different practices than are required in the United States. However, the two are becoming more similar with the influence of the IFRS, which creates the accounting laws for the world. A lot of changes have presented themselves during the 21st century in France, specifically with stronger monitoring and technology. The accounting practice is not perfect, but the system that enables change encourages a much stronger practice in the future

    Effect of Turmeric on Oxidatively Stressed Tetrahymena thermophila Cells

    Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are chemically reactive forms of oxygen that, within a cellular environment, form free radicals that interfere with cellular processes and damage DNA. ROSs are routinely produced during oxidative metabolic processes that occur within the mitochondria and their presence in the cell must be tightly regulated. The OXR1 gene encodes a protein that is essential to the degradation of ROSs primarily in the nucleus and in the mitochondria. In this study, we wanted to determine whether turmeric had a protective effect on ROS-induced oxidative stress through regulation of the OXR1 gene in the model organism Tetrahymena thermophila. Turmeric is a spice produced from a species of ginger root that has been used for centuries as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. We hypothesized that turmeric would have a negligible effect on OXR1 gene expression and cell growth in Tetrahymena that were experiencing high levels of ROS-induced oxidative stress. To test our hypothesis, experimental groups of Tetrahymena cells were exposed to the oxidative stress inducer oligomycin for one week in the presence of turmeric extract while control groups of cells were treated solely with oligomycin. During the week-long exposure, Tetrahymena cells were counted every 24 hours to determine growth grate. At the end of the exposure, RNA was extracted from the control and experimental groups and Reverse Transcription quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to measure the expression of OXR1. We predicted that turmeric would have no effect on OXR1 expression and cell growth in Tetrahymena thermophila

    Forming Carbon-Carbon Bonds Via Photo-oxidation

    1-(2-thienyl)-pyrene has been viewed to form a carbon-carbon bond when oxidized. We investigated a palladium catalyzed reaction leading to the dimerization of a furan. However, ostensibly a similar reaction can occur in the absence of palladium but the presence of a photocurrent substantial enough to push an electron to an excited state, leaving a hole in it’s previous orbital. After this occurs, this molecule can find another of the same nature and complete the desired carbon-carbon bond. In creating this bond, we will have synthesized a “solar fuel” that can store energy in a stable bond using light

    Using Role Based Modeling Language to Determine Safety from Advanced Persistent Threats

    No full text
    With Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) becoming a larger threat among the cyber world, it is important that software is designed with security in mind. In order to aide this process, software developers can use design patterns when creating systems. All aspects of a system\u27s design should be concerned with security, because any one point of weakness can still lead to the compromise of the entire system. We propose a method of determining if a system contains a security pattern, and we suggest several security patterns which might be helpful in deterring a specific APT. We utilize an algorithm based on graph homomorphism theory that gives a metric for how close a UML model is to being a realization of a security pattern, from which it may be verified that a system is indeed a realization of the Role Based Modeling Language (RBML) model of the pattern. We find that our distance metric gives the desired result for several example applications
