De la diversité des plantes alimentaires commercialisées sur les marchés à Quito

The systematic following of some markets of Quito and its neighbourhood allowed to make an inventory of the alimentary products of vegetal origin which are sold there. The complete list of used plants is given in annex with : their botanical names, their vernacular names in Spanish, some indications about their origin, rough climatological delimitations, their frequencies in the markets and how they are used. Particular emphasis was given to autochtones andines plants for which the observed variability was roughly described. Used documentation allowed to analyse times and ways of introduction of these plants in the Ecuador territory and to explain the lack of other species.Le suivi systématique de divers marchés de Quito et de ses alentours a permis de dresser un inventaire des produits alimentaires d'origine végétale qui y sont commercialisés. La liste complète des plantes consommées est donnée en annexe avec, en plus des noms botaniques, leurs noms locaux en espagnol et des indications sur leur origine, la région climatologique de culture, la fréquence sur les marchés et le mode d'usage. Une attention particulière a été accordée aux autochtones andines pour lesquelles on décrit rapidement la variabilité rencontrée. La documentation utilisée a permis d'analyser les dates et les chemins d'introduction des plantes alimentaires dans le territoire de l'actuel Équateur et de rechercher les raisons de l'absence d'autres espèces.Huttel Charles.

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) - 2018 Summary Report

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a TeV-scale high-luminosity linear $e^+e^-$ collider under development at CERN. Following the CLIC conceptual design published in 2012, this report provides an overview of the CLIC project, its current status, and future developments. It presents the CLIC physics potential and reports on design, technology, and implementation aspects of the accelerator and the detector. CLIC is foreseen to be built and operated in stages, at centre-of-mass energies of 380 GeV, 1.5 TeV and 3 TeV, respectively. CLIC uses a two-beam acceleration scheme, in which 12 GHz accelerating structures are powered via a high-current drive beam. For the first stage, an alternative with X-band klystron powering is also considered. CLIC accelerator optimisation, technical developments and system tests have resulted in an increased energy efficiency (power around 170 MW) for the 380 GeV stage, together with a reduced cost estimate at the level of 6 billion CHF. The detector concept has been refined using improved software tools. Significant progress has been made on detector technology developments for the tracking and calorimetry systems. A wide range of CLIC physics studies has been conducted, both through full detector simulations and parametric studies, together providing a broad overview of the CLIC physics potential. Each of the three energy stages adds cornerstones of the full CLIC physics programme, such as Higgs width and couplings, top-quark properties, Higgs self-coupling, direct searches, and many precision electroweak measurements. The interpretation of the combined results gives crucial and accurate insight into new physics, largely complementary to LHC and HL-LHC. The construction of the first CLIC energy stage could start by 2026. First beams would be available by 2035, marking the beginning of a broad CLIC physics programme spanning 25-30 years
