Précisions sur le droit de jouissance spéciale

Lorsque le propriétaire consent un droit réel, conférant le bénéfice d\u27une jouissance spéciale de son bien, ce droit, s\u27il n\u27est pas limité dans le temps par la volonté des parties, ne peut être perpétuel et s\u27éteint dans les conditions prévues par les articles 619 et 625 du Code civil

Liberté contractuelle et droits réels

Débattue en doctrine depuis fort longtemps, la question de l’existence d’un numerus clausus des droits réels est longtemps demeurée sans réponse certaine. D’anciens arrêts avaient certes reconnu la libre création de droits réels inconnus du Code civil, mais leur contexte, souvent rural, et la présence fréquente d’institutions constituées sous l’empire de l’ancien droit, pouvaient expliquer les réticences de certains auteurs à tenir ce principe pour fermement établi. Mais voilà qu’aujourd’hui, la Cour de cassation confirme de manière claire, à propos d’un immeuble situé au cœur même de Paris, qu’il est loisible au propriétaire d’un bien de concéder à un tiers, par convention, un droit réel original et dont la durée n’est pas strictement délimitée. Loin d’être cantonnées par la loi à la création d’un droit d’usage et d’habitation trentenaire, les parties ont pu valablement conférer en l’espèce un droit de « jouissance spéciale » à une personne morale, pendant toute la durée de son existence. Statuant au double visa des articles 544 et 1134 du Code civil, la Cour de cassation a rendu une décision de première importance, promise à une large diffusion. Sa portée et son opportunité doivent être examinées ; les perspectives qu’elle ouvre et les risques dont elle est porteuse doivent être mesurés

Assessment of acoustic reciprocity and conservativeness in exhaust aftertreatment systems

[EN] Tightening emission standards limiting gas and aerosol emissions from internal combustion engines have led to the extensive use of exhaust aftertreatment systems (EATS) with different chemical functions as a solution to meet standards requirements. Incidentally, the placement of aftertreatment monolithic devices into the exhaust line also plays a key role on the exhaust noise emission. Their presence disturbs the pattern of the pressure waves and sets the boundary conditions for the silencer design. The impact of the EATS on wave transmission can be analyzed by means of the transmission or scattering matrix. The present work discusses the implications of acoustic reciprocity and conservativeness on the definition of the scattering matrix elements. The fulfillment of these properties in real operating conditions was evaluated against a set of experimental data obtained for several exhaust aftertreatment monolithic bricks in an impulse test rig. The influence of different excitation amplitudes and superimposed mean flows was also considered. Once it was shown that the devices are reciprocal, the need to account for dissipation phenomena was evidenced. Finally, the application of reciprocity and conservativeness together with dissipation provided simple expressions allowing to predict the response of the EATS in the inverse direction, i.e. from outlet to inlet, from the transmission and reflection properties obtained in the direct direction. Thus, the proposed procedure becomes useful to reduce both the required number of tests and the gas dynamics modelling work in methodologies driven to assess the acoustic response of EATS based on the use of experimental and computational tools.

Candida albicans repetitive elements display epigenetic diversity and plasticity

Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is associated with repetitive DNA. It is poorly understood whether and how heterochromatin differs between different organisms and whether its structure can be remodelled in response to environmental signals. Here, we address this question by analysing the chromatin state associated with DNA repeats in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Our analyses indicate that, contrary to model systems, each type of repetitive element is assembled into a distinct chromatin state. Classical Sir2-dependent hypoacetylated and hypomethylated chromatin is associated with the rDNA locus while telomeric regions are assembled into a weak heterochromatin that is only mildly hypoacetylated and hypomethylated. Major Repeat Sequences, a class of tandem repeats, are assembled into an intermediate chromatin state bearing features of both euchromatin and heterochromatin. Marker gene silencing assays and genome-wide RNA sequencing reveals that C. albicans heterochromatin represses expression of repeat-associated coding and non-coding RNAs. We find that telomeric heterochromatin is dynamic and remodelled upon an environmental change. Weak heterochromatin is associated with telomeres at 30?°C, while robust heterochromatin is assembled over these regions at 39?°C, a temperature mimicking moderate fever in the host. Thus in C. albicans, differential chromatin states controls gene expression and epigenetic plasticity is linked to adaptation

A Defined Terminal Region of the E. coli Chromosome Shows Late Segregation and High FtsK Activity

Background: The FtsK DNA-translocase controls the last steps of chromosome segregation in E. coli. It translocates sister chromosomes using the KOPS DNA motifs to orient its activity, and controls the resolution of dimeric forms of sister chromosomes by XerCD-mediated recombination at the dif site and their decatenation by TopoIV. Methodology: We have used XerCD/dif recombination as a genetic trap to probe the interaction of FtsK with loci located in different regions of the chromosome. This assay revealed that the activity of FtsK is restricted to a,400 kb terminal region of the chromosome around the natural position of the dif site. Preferential interaction with this region required the tethering of FtsK to the division septum via its N-terminal domain as well as its translocation activity. However, the KOPSrecognition activity of FtsK was not required. Displacement of replication termination outside the FtsK high activity region had no effect on FtsK activity and deletion of a part of this region was not compensated by its extension to neighbouring regions. By observing the fate of fluorescent-tagged loci of the ter region, we found that segregation of the FtsK high activity region is delayed compared to that of its adjacent regions. Significance: Our results show that a restricted terminal region of the chromosome is specifically dedicated to the last step

Comprehensive prediction of chromosome dimer resolution sites in bacterial genomes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>During the replication process of bacteria with circular chromosomes, an odd number of homologous recombination events results in concatenated dimer chromosomes that cannot be partitioned into daughter cells. However, many bacteria harbor a conserved dimer resolution machinery consisting of one or two tyrosine recombinases, XerC and XerD, and their 28-bp target site, <it>dif</it>.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>To study the evolution of the <it>dif/</it>XerCD system and its relationship with replication termination, we report the comprehensive prediction of <it>dif </it>sequences <it>in silico </it>using a phylogenetic prediction approach based on iterated hidden Markov modeling. Using this method, <it>dif </it>sites were identified in 641 organisms among 16 phyla, with a 97.64% identification rate for single-chromosome strains. The <it>dif </it>sequence positions were shown to be strongly correlated with the GC skew shift-point that is induced by replicational mutation/selection pressures, but the difference in the positions of the predicted <it>dif </it>sites and the GC skew shift-points did not correlate with the degree of replicational mutation/selection pressures.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The sequence of <it>dif </it>sites is widely conserved among many bacterial phyla, and they can be computationally identified using our method. The lack of correlation between <it>dif </it>position and the degree of GC skew suggests that replication termination does not occur strictly at <it>dif </it>sites.</p
