    Les institutions et les normes ont été traités de différentes façons : dans nos travaux en modéli- sation des dynamiques sociales du point de vue de l'anthropologie du droit où une multiplicité d'interprétations légales des acteurs, des choses et des actes était nécessaire, en philosophie qui insiste sur le rôle des définitions dans les institutions à travers les normes constitutives, et dans le domaine des systèmes multi-agents pour spécifier les interactions entre agents à tra- vers une multiplicité de rôles. Nous proposons dans ce papier une synthèse permettant de trai- ter conjointement la multiplicité des interpréta- tions, des normes constitutives et des structures de rôles. Nous proposons également une spé- cification de systèmes multi-agents institution- nels spatialisés, montrant sa capacité à rendre compte syntaxiquement et sémantiquement de cette synthèse. En particulier, nous montrons comment cette multiplicité interprétative struc- ture l'espace en autant de territoire

    Secondary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis treated by lung transplant: A case report.

    Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a pulmonary disease characterized by disruption of surfactant homeostasis resulting in its accumulation in the alveoli. PAP is classically classified into three categories (Table 1): 1/primary (or autoimmune) with antibodies targeting the GM-CSF pathway, 2/secondary to another disease, typically a hematologic malignancy, and 3/genetic. A 30 year-old woman received an allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Within the first 6 months post HSCT, she developed an ocular, oral, digestive and hepatic graft-versus-host disease associated with a mixed ventilatory defect with a very severe obstructive syndrome and a severe CO diffusion impairment. High resolution computed tomography showed a classical "crazy paving" pattern. Aspect and differential cell count of BAL were normal. All microbiological samples remained culture negative. Histo-pathological analysis of transbronchial biopsies was unremarkable. Because of the severity of the respiratory insufficiency, open-lung biopsy (OBL) could not be performed. Despite multiple immunosuppressive therapies, lung function deteriorated rapidly; the patient also developed an excavated fungal lesion unresponsive to treatment. She underwent a bilateral lung transplant 48 months after HSCT. Histo-pathological analysis of explanted lungs showed obliterative bronchiolitis (OB), diffuse PAP and invasive cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis. This case illustrates the simultaneous occurrence of OB, PAP and a fungal infection in a 30-year old female patient who underwent HSCT for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To our knowledge this is the only documented case of PAP associated with OB treated by lung transplantation

    CP Test in J/Psi -> gamma phi phi Decay

    Full text link
    We propose to test CP symmetry in the decay \jp\to \gamma \phi\phi, for which large data sample exists at BESII, and a data sample of 101010^{10} J/ψJ/\psi's will be collected with BESIII and CLEO-C program. We suggest some CP asymmetries in this decay mode for CP test. Assuming that CP violation is introduced by the electric- and chromo-dipole moment of charm quark, these CP asymmetries can be predicted by using valence quark models. Our work shows a possible way to get information about the electric- and chromo-dipole moment of charm quark, which is little known. Our results show that with the current data sample of J/ψJ/\psi, electric- and chromo-dipole moment can be probed at order of 1014ecm10^{-14}e cm. In the near future with a 101010^{10} data sample, these moments can be probed at order of 1016ecm10^{-16}e cm.Comment: Misprints corrected. To appear in Phys. Lett.

    Using untagged B^0 -> D K_S to determine gamma

    Full text link
    It is shown that the weak phase gamma=arg(-V_{ud}V^*_{ub}V_{cb}V_{cd}^*) can be determined using only untagged decays B/Bbar--> D K_S. In order to reduce the uncertainty in gamma, we suggest combining information from B^{+-}--> DK^{+-} and from untagged B^0 decays, where the D meson is observed in common decay modes. Theoretical assumptions, which may further reduce the statistical error, are also discussed.Comment: 18 pages, same as published versio

    Near Threshold Enhancement of p pbar System and p pbar Elastic Scattering

    Get PDF
    The observed enhancement of ppˉp\bar p-production near the threshold in radiative decays of J/ψJ/\psi and e+ee^+e^--annihilations can be explained with final state interactions among the produced NNˉN\bar N system, where the enhancement is essentially determined by NNˉN\bar N elastic scattering amplitudes. We propose to use an effective theory for interactions in a NNˉN\bar N system near its threshold. The effective theory is similar to the well-known one for interactions in a NNNN system but with distinctions. It is interesting to note that in the effective theory some corrections to scattering amplitudes at tree-level can systematically be summed into a simple form. These corrections are from rescattering processes. With these corrected amplitudes we are able to describe the enhancement near the threshold in radiative decays of J/ψJ/\psi and e+ee^+e^--annihilations, and the ppˉp\bar p elastic scattering near the threshold.Comment: Discussions and References added, Fig.2 redrawn.

    Role of Charm Factory in Extracting CKM-Phase Information via B --> DK

    Full text link
    In this paper we study the impact of data that can be obtained from a Charm Factory on the determination of the CKM parameter gamma from decays of the form B -> D0 K where the D0 decays to specific inclusive and exclusive final states. In particular, for each exclusive final state ff, the charm factory can determine the strong phase difference between D0-> f and D0-bar -> f by exploiting correlations in psi(3770)-> D0 D0-bar. This provides crucial input to the determination of gamma via the interference of B+- -> K+- D0 -> f with B+- -> K+- D0-bar -> f. We discuss how the method may be generalized to inclusive final states and illustrate with a toy model how such methods may offer one of the best means to determine gamma with 10^8-10^9 B-mesons.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, Version 2: Fixed typos; add reference; Version 3: fixed latex glitc

    Enquête sur la distribution du crédit aux agriculteurs dans le département du Cantal : résultats pour la période 1970-1975

    Get PDF
    Diffusion du document : INRA Station d'Economie et Sociologie rurales 65 rue de Saint-Brieuc 35042 Rennes Cedex (FRA)Cette note se réduit à une présentation commenté des premiers résultats de l'enquête menée dans le cantal. La période étudiée couvre les années 1970 à 1975. La situation structurelle des exploitations est saisie au départ par les données du RGA puis par celles de l'EPEXA en 1975. La méthode employée consiste à utiliser pour le département du Cantal, un sous-échantillon EPEXA (le taux moyen de sondage est de 1/50) dont les exploitations sont analysées tant du point de vue de leur évolution structurelle que de celui de leur endettement. Les données sur ce point ont été recueillies par l'enquête auprès de la Caisse Régionale du Cantal

    Observing Direct CP Violation in Untagged B-Meson Decays

    Full text link
    Direct CP violation can exist in untagged B-meson decays to self-conjugate, three-particle final states; it would be realized as a population asymmetry in the untagged decay rate across the mirror line of the Dalitz plot of the three-body decay. We explore the numerical size of this direct CP-violating effect in a variety of B-meson decays to three pseudoscalar mesons; we show that the resulting asymmetry is comparable to the partial rate asymmetry in the analogous tagged decays, making the search for direct CP violation in the untagged decay rate, for which greater statistics accrue, advantageous.Comment: 31 pages, REVTeX4, 1 eps figure, references added, typos corrected, version to appear in PR

    Model Independent Analysis of the Forward-Backward Asymmetry for the BK1μ+μB\to K_{1}\mu^{+}\mu^{-} Decay

    Full text link
    The sensitivity of the zero position of the forward backward asymmetry AFB\mathcal{A}_{FB} for the exclusive BK1(1270)μ+μB\rightarrow K_{1}(1270)\mu^{+}\mu^{-} decay is examined by using most general non-standard 4-fermion interactions. Our analysis shows that the zero position of the forward backward asymmetry is very sensitive to the sign and size of the Wilson coefficients corresponding to the new vector type interactions, which are the counter partners of the usual Standard Model operators but have opposite chirality. In addition to these, the other significant effect comes from the interference of Scalar-Pseudoscalar and Tensor type operators. These results will not only enhance our theoretical understanding about the axial vector mesons but will also serve as a good tool to look for physics beyond the SM.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures, Published version that appears in EPJ

    What can we learn from a measurement of sin(2 beta + gamma)?

    Full text link
    The constraints on the value of the CKM phase gamma that may be achieved by prospective measurements of sin(2 beta) and sin(2 beta + gamma) are discussed. Significant constraints require quite small errors, and may depend on assumptions about strong phases. The measurement of sin(2 beta + gamma) combined with other experiments could provide valuable limits on new physics in Bd-Bdbar mixing.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, RevTex 4, uses amsmath and graphic
