La mise en tourisme et le développement local par la création d’une atmosphère gastronomique. Analyse à partir du cas de Vonnas
Vonnas montre l’exemple d’une mise en tourisme et d’une dynamique de développement local portées par un cuisinier entrepreneur, Georges Blanc, qui ancre son parcours économique et son orientation culinaire dans une longue tradition familiale. La stratégie de développement socioéconomique et culturelle du cuisinier, fondée sur l’innovation entrepreneuriale et sur la créativité culinaire, a conduit à l’émergence d’un lieu caractérisé par une singulière concentration d’activités orientées vers la gastronomie : le Village Gourmand. Fondée sur l’identité bressanne, cette atmosphère gastronomique favorise la mise en place des conditions nécessaires au développement local. Georges Blanc va engager une théâtralisation de cette atmosphère gastronomique afin de la rendre pleinement accessible et compréhensible par les touristes. Cette théâtralisation autorise la co-production de l’expérience touristique et, finalement, de la destination touristique gourmande
Modelling the effect of carbon on deformation behaviour of twinning induced plasticity steels
In this article, a physical model describing the deformation behaviour of Twinning Induced Plasticity(TWIP) steels has been extended to include the effect of carbon content. The experimental validation and the analysis show that carbon mainly controls the maximum number of dislocations piled up at the twin boundary, resulting in the increase of back-stresses (i.e. kinematic hardening) and therefore the work hardening rate. This explanation seems to be in agreement with recent TEM observations. © The Author(s) 2011.

Detector tilt considerations in high-energy Bragg coherent diffraction imaging: a simulation study
This paper addresses three-dimensional signal distortion and image
reconstruction issues in x-ray Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) in the
event of a general non-orthogonal orientation of the area detector with respect
to the diffracted beam. Growing interest in novel BCDI adaptations at
fourth-generation synchrotron light sources has necessitated improvisations in
the experimental configuration and the subsequent data analysis. One such
possibly unavoidable improvisation that is envisioned in this paper is a
photon-counting area detector whose face is tilted away from the perpendicular
to the Bragg-diffracted beam during acquisition of the coherent diffraction
signal. We describe a likely circumstance in which one would require such a
detector configuration, along with experimental precedent at third generation
synchrotrons. Using physically accurate diffraction simulations from synthetic
scatterers in the presence of such tilted detectors, we analyze the general
nature of the observed signal distortion qualitatively and quantitatively, and
provide a prescription to correct for it during image reconstruction. Our
simulations and reconstructions are based on an adaptation of the known theory
of BCDI sampling geometry as well as recently developed projection-based
methods of wavefield propagation. Such configurational modifications and their
numerical remedies are potentially valuable in realizing unconventional
coherent diffraction measurement geometries and eventually paving the way for
the integration of BCDI into new materials characterization experiments at
next-generation light sources.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
Aggregation induced phosphorescent N-oxyde-2,2′-bipyridine bismuth complexes and polymorphism-dependent emission
Unprecedented bismuth complexes, based on the rarely used ditopic ligand N-oxide-2,2′-bipyridine (bp2mo), crystallizing as three polymorphs, α- (1), β- (2) and γ-[BiBr3(bp2mo)2] (3), exhibit phosphorescence with a quantum yield up to 17% for the crystal phase (1), while the complex displays a weak fluorescence in solution. A study of the luminescence properties combined with DFT/TDDFT calculations reveals that the lighting phenomenon originated by aggregation induced phosphorescence correlated with the weak intermolecular interactions present in the different crystal phases
Bismuth-Based Coordination Polymers with Efficient Aggregation-Induced Phosphorescence and Reversible Mechanochromic Luminescence
Two bismuth coordination polymers (CPs), (TBA)[BiBr4(bp4mo)] (TBA=tetrabutylammonium) and [BiBr3(bp4mo)2], which are based on the rarely used simple ditopic ligand N-oxide-4,4′-bipyridine (bp4mo), show mechanochromic luminescence (MCL). High solid-state phosphorescence quantum yields of up to 85 % were determined for (TBA)[BiBr4(bp4mo)] (λem=540 nm). Thorough investigations of the luminescence properties combined with DFT and TDDFT calculations revealed that the emission is due to aggregation-induced phosphorescence (AIP). Upon grinding, both samples became amorphous, and their luminescence changed from yellow to orange and red, respectively. Heating or exposure to water vapor led to the recovery of the initial luminescence. These materials are the first examples of mechanochromic phosphors based on bismuth(III)
The motley family of polar compounds (MV) M(X5-xX (x)) based on anionic chains of trans-connected M-(III)(X,X)(6) octahedra (M=Bi, Sb; X, X=Cl, Br, I) and methylviologen (MV) dications
The search for hybrid organic-inorganic materials remains a great challenge in the field of ferroelectrics. Following the discovery of the room temperature ferroelectric material (MV)[BiI3Cl2] (MV2+: methyl-viologen) exhibiting the highest polarization value in the field of hybrid ferroelectrics, we report here nine new hybrids with the general formulation (MV)[(MX5-xX)-X-(III)(x)] (M=Bi, Sb; X, X=CI, Br, I): (MV)[BiCl3.3Br1.7] (1), (MV)[BiCl1.3Br3.7] (2), (MV)[BiBr3.2I1.8] (3), (MV)[SbCl5] (4), (MV)[SbBr5] (5), (MV)[SbCl3.8Br1.2] (6). (MV)[SbCl2.4Br2.6] (7), (MV)[SbI3Cl2] (8) and (MV)[SbBr3.8I1.2] (9). Depending on the presence of polar chains or not, and on the coupling of polar chains, two types of centrosymmetrical structures [C1] and [C2] and two types of polar structures [P1] and [P2] are defined. (2) undergoes a paraelectric-to-relaxor ferroelectric transition around 100-150 K depending of the frequency showing that the Curie temperature, T-C, of (MV)[BiBr5] (243 K) can be modulated by the substitution of Br by Cl. The most interesting family is the [P2] type because the syn coupling of polar chains is in favor of high polarization values, as in (MV)[BiI3Cl2]. Five of the nine new hybrids, (4), (6-9), which have the [P2] type structure are potential ferroelectrics. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
Mid-Infrared Emission Features in the ISM: Feature-to-Feature Flux Ratios
Using a limited, but representative sample of sources in the ISM of our
Galaxy with published spectra from the Infrared Space Observatory, we analyze
flux ratios between the major mid-IR emission features (EFs) centered around
6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.3 microns, respectively. In a flux ratio-to-flux ratio
plot of EF(6.2)/EF(7.7) as a function of EF(11.3)/EF(7.7), the sample sources
form roughly a -shaped locus which appear to trace, on an overall
basis, the hardness of a local heating radiation field. But some driving
parameters other than the radiation field may also be required for a full
interpretation of this trend. On the other hand, the flux ratio of
EF(8.6)/EF(7.7) shows little variation over the sample sources, except for two
HII regions which have much higher values for this ratio due to an ``EF(8.6\um)
anomaly,'' a phenomenon clearly associated with environments of an intense
far-UV radiation field. If further confirmed on a larger database, these trends
should provide crucial information on how the EF carriers collectively respond
to a changing environment.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure, 1 table; accepted for publication in ApJ Letter
