    Risques sanitaires liés à la prolifération des ibis sacrés (Threskiornis aethiopicus) pour les animaux d'élevage sur la façade Atlantique

    No full text
    L Ibis sacré Threskiornis aethiopicus est une espèce invasive présente dans l Ouest de la France depuis la fin des années 80. Elle est régulièrement observée dans les décharges à ciel ouvert, ainsi que dans les parcs à canards en pré-gavage, les pâtures et sur les déjections animales. Des analyses parasitaires et bactériologiques ont mis en évidence un faible portage de divers parasites, de Chlamydiaceae et de Salmonelles. Ce travail est un préliminaire à d autres études plus précises de portage. Le risque sanitaire représenté par l Ibis sacré a été évalué au regard de la distribution spatiale des élevages et des ibis sacrés. Il apparaît faible hors contexte d épizootie. Cette espèce semble être infectée à bas bruit, au même titre que les autres espèces sauvages autochtones.TOULOUSE-EN Vétérinaire (315552301) / SudocNANTES-Ecole Nat.Vétérinaire (441092302) / SudocSudocFranceF

    Religiosity and trajectories of lifetime fertility intentions – Evidence from a German panel study

    No full text
    Much of the literature on fertility intentions has shown that they are broadly predictive of fertility behaviour. Fertility intentions tend to change over a person's life. How religiosity affects these changes over time has rarely been the subject of investigation. In this paper, we focus on whether and how religiosity affects trajectories of lifetime fertility intentions. Specifically, we examine whether highly religious people start with higher fertility intentions and are more likely to sustain them during their life course compared to their less religious counterparts. We apply random and fixed effects growth curve models to data from the German family panel pairfam, using a sample of 6214 women and 5802 men aged 14–46. We find that religiosity mainly contributes to explain the starting level at teenage years but not the trajectories of lifetime fertility intentions as people get older. Highly religious people start with higher intentions than less religious people. However, similarly to less religious people they experience a decline in their fertility intentions with age. This study demonstrates that religiosity is an important variable in research on fertility intentions but with changing relevance over the life course.</p

    Digital printing of organic photovoltaic devices is presented as a viable option for the creation of increasingly complex device structures. Fully printed organic tandem junction devices were made that show a perfect summation of the open circuit voltages of the subcells. These results show the feasibility of complete digitally printed device stacks providing product designers with unprecedented freedom of design for integration of a photovoltaic functionality in new products

    Isolation of a new Chlamydia species from the feral Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus): Chlamydia ibidis

    Investigations conducted on feral African Sacred Ibises (Threskiornis aethiopicus) in western France led to the isolation of a strain with chlamydial genetic determinants. Ultrastructural analysis, comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, ompA, and of a concatenate of 31 highly conserved genes, as well as determination of the whole genome sequence confirmed the relatedness of the new isolate to members of the Chlamydiaceae, while, at the same time demonstrating a unique position outside the currently recognized species of this family. We propose to name this new chlamydial species Chlamydia ibidis

    Solution processing of OPVs on industrial scale brings some challenges, such as finding alternative, non-chlorinated solvents and using roll-to-roll compatible processes. Here we present a fully inkjet printed tandem OPV device, which consists of up to 9 sequentially inkjet printed layers. The inkjet printed layers are made without chlorinated solvents using an industrial scale printhead, making the processing industrial viable.\u3cbr/\u3eThe main challenge for inkjet printing this tandem structure was to find a good way to print the recombination contact consisting of a closed PEDOT:PSS layer from a water based solution onto a hydrophobic P3HT:PCBM layer and on top of that a ZnO layer. Previously it was shown by our group that ZnO can be inkjet printed on a PEDOT:PSS layer, however, when modifying (commercial) PEDOT:PSS formulations the resulting surface energy of this PEDOT:PSS layer changes and hence the printability of ZnO on top of the PEDOT:PSS is different. Careful optimization of the full recombination contact was done and tandem devices were successfully inkjet printed.\u3cbr/\u3eThe voltage of the inkjet printed tandem we present here is the sum of the voltages of the subcells, which shows that there are no voltage losses over the recombination contact. The efficiency of the inkjet printed tandems was higher than the efficiencies of the respective single junction devices. These results show that inkjet printing is a promising technique to up-scale the production of tandem OPVs and commercialization is one step closer
