Lâempathie au coeur du cinĂ©ma anthropologique de Trinh T. Minh-ha : les cas de Reassemblage et The Fourth Dimension
La mĂ©diation expĂ©rimentale quâopĂšre Trinh T. Minh-ha consiste Ă transmettre un geste cinĂ©matographique singulier qui emprunte diffĂ©rentes stratĂ©gies empathiques dĂ©ployĂ©es lors de chacune des Ă©tapes de la production filmique. Cette recherche ambitionne de dĂ©finir la notion polysĂ©mique dâempathie, puis dâaborder, sous cet angle multiple, la thĂ©orie-pratique du film, thĂ©orisĂ©e et expĂ©rimentĂ©e par la rĂ©alisatrice : Trinh T. Minh-ha vise Ă renouveler lâexpĂ©rience du spectateur au monde et Ă lâaltĂ©ritĂ©. Pour exemplifier notre problĂšme, nous analyserons deux films anthropologiques rĂ©alisĂ©s par Trinh T. Minh-ha : « Reassemblage » (1982) et « The Fourth Dimension » (2001).
Lâanthropologie visuelle produite par Trinh T. Minh-ha sâappuie sur la qualitĂ© de «âplasticitĂ©â» du cinĂ©ma, telle quâĂlie Faure la dĂ©finit dans son recueil « Fonction du cinĂ©ma, de la cinĂ©plastique Ă son destin sociale (1921-1937) ». Cette « âcinĂ©plastiqueâ » sociale, par la rĂ©union formelle de ses propriĂ©tĂ©s Ă©thique et esthĂ©tique, rejoint notre concept de geste cinĂ©matographique vecteur dâempathie engagĂ© par Trinh T. Minh-ha.
Lâarticle de David Macdougall «â Lâanthropologie visuelle et les chemins du savoir â», publiĂ© en 2004 dans la revue scientifique « Journal des anthropologues (98-99) », nous permettra de circonscrire le cinĂ©ma anthropologie de Trinh T. Minh-ha au sein du courant postmoderne. En nous rĂ©fĂ©rant aussi aux textes publiĂ©s en 2008 dans la revue scientifique
« Journal des anthropologues (114-115) » dirigée par Ghislaine Gallenga et intitulée
«âLâempathie en anthropologieâ», nous discuterons les approches de filmage et de montage mises en Ćuvre par la rĂ©alisatrice afin dâexpliciter le rapport dâ«â empathie esthĂ©tiqueâ » prĂ©sent lors de lâexpĂ©rience spectatorielle.
La thĂ©orie-pratique de Trinh T. Minh-ha semble finalement superposer Ă une forme postmoderne une poĂ©tique du cinĂ©ma qui envisage de nouvelles «â correspondancesâ » gĂ©nĂ©rant une rĂ©sonance affective et perceptive menant Ă un « âsentir-avecâ » polysensoriel dĂ©fendu par le thĂ©oricien de la poĂ©sie Michel Collot dont nous adapterons lâidĂ©e dâun «â continuumâ » entre film, rĂ©alisateur et spectateur.Trinh T. Minh-ha's experimental mediation consists in conveying a singular cinematographic gesture that borrows different empathic strategies used during each stage of film production. This research aims at defining the polysemous notion of empathy, and then, from this plural angle, to approach the practical theory of the film, theorized and experimented by the director: Trinh T. Minh-ha aims at renewing the experience of the audience to the world and to otherness. To explain our problem, we will analyze the two of the anthropological films directed by Trinh T. Minh-ha: âReassemblageâ (1982) and âThe Fourth Dimensionâ (2001).
The visual anthropology produced by Trinh T. Minh-ha is based on the quality of the âplasticityâ of cinema, such as Ălie Faure defines it in his book âFonction du cinĂ©ma, de la cinĂ©plastique Ă son destin sociale (1921-1937)â. This social âcinĂ©plastiqueâ through the formal mix of its ethical and aesthetic characteristics, meets our concept of a cinematographic gesture, vector of empathy committed by Trinh T. Minh-ha.
The article âVisual anthropology and the ways of knowledgeâ written by David Macdougall and published in 2004 in the scientific magazine âJournal des anthropologues (98-99)â will help us to contextualize the anthropological cinema of Trinh T. Minh-ha inside the postmodern movement. We will also refer to the texts published in 2008 in the scientific magazine âJournal des anthropologues (114-115)â directed by Ghislaine Gallenga and entitled
"Empathy in anthropology" to discuss the filmmaking and editing approaches of the director in order to understand the following experience of the audiences as characterized as an aesthetic empathy in relation to these films.
The practical theory of Trinh T. Minh-ha seems to cross a postmodern form with a poetics of cinema and thus produces an affective and perceptive theme, a polysensory âfeel-withâ described by the theorist of poetry Michel Collot whose ideas of a âcontinuumâ between film, director and spectator weâll apply
10 Gbps TCP/IP streams from the FPGA for High Energy Physics
The DAQ system of the CMS experiment at CERN collects data from more than 600 custom detector Front-End Drivers (FEDs). During 2013 and 2014 the CMS DAQ system will undergo a major upgrade to address the obsolescence of current hardware and the requirements posed by the upgrade of the LHC accelerator and various detector components. For a loss-less data collection from the FEDs a new FPGA based card implementing the TCP/IP protocol suite over 10Gbps Ethernet has been developed. To limit the TCP hardware implementation complexity the DAQ group developed a simplified and unidirectional but RFC 793 compliant version of the TCP protocol. This allows to use a PC with the standard Linux TCP/IP stack as a receiver. We present the challenges and protocol modifications made to TCP in order to simplify its FPGA implementation. We also describe the interaction between the simplified TCP and Linux TCP/IP stack including the performance measurements.United States.

First operational experience with the CMS Run Control System
The Run Control System of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN's new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) controls the sub-detector and central data acquisition systems and the high-level trigger farm of the experiment. It manages around 10,000 applications that control custom hardware or handle the event building and the high-level trigger processing. The CMS Run Control System is a distributed Java system running on a set of Apache Tomcat servlet containers. Users interact with the system through a web browser. The paper presents the architecture of the CMS Run Control System and deals with operational aspects during the first phase of operation with colliding beams. In particular it focuses on performance, stability, integration with the CMS Detector Control System, integration with LHC status information and tools to guide the shifter.United States.

From malnutrition to HIV: spirulina is an effective solution which continues to reveal its secrets
Spirulina presents major advantages in the fight against chronic malnutrition based on its micronutrient composition, its health potential and the fact that it can be grown locally. International solidarity associations, such as Antenna Technologies and Entrepreneurs du Monde whose goal is to reduce extreme poverty and public health problems in developing countries, have undertakenproduction and distribution programmes of spirulina, especially in West Africa. The quality of spirulina produced in these developing countries continues to increase to the extent that it can now be exported. Thus, associations such as Spirulidaire market a traditional, fair and supportive spirulina in France and Europe and thus promote local producers. The perception of spirulina continues to evolve with the multiplication of field initiatives and the accumulation of scientific data. New studies demonstrate that spirulina also presents clinically significant anti-viral and immuno-stimulating effects in people infected by HIV.Sur la base de sa composition en micronutriments, de son potentiel pour la santĂ© et du fait quâelle soit cultivable localement, la spiruline prĂ©sente des avantages majeurs dans la lutte contre la malnutrition chronique. Des associations de solidaritĂ© internationale, comme Antenna Technologies et Entrepreneurs du Monde qui ont comme vocation de rĂ©duire lâextrĂȘme pauvretĂ© et les problĂšmes de santĂ© publique dans les pays en dĂ©veloppement, ont entrepris des programmes de culture et de distribution de spiruline notamment en Afrique de lâOuest. La qualitĂ© de la spiruline produite dans ces pays en dĂ©veloppement ne cesse dâaugmenter et est telle quâelle permet son exportation. Câest ainsi que des associations comme Spirulidaire commercialisent une spiruline artisanale, Ă©quitable et solidaire en France et en Europe et permettent ainsi de soutenir les producteurs locaux. La perception de la spiruline ne cesse dâĂ©voluer avec la multiplication des initiatives terrain, et lâaccumulation de donnĂ©es scientifiques. De nouvelles Ă©tudes dĂ©montrent que la spiruline prĂ©sente Ă©galement des effets antiviraux et immunostimulants cliniquement significatifs chez des personnes infectĂ©es par le VIH.Sobre la base de su composiciĂłn en micronutrientes, de su potencial para la salud y del hecho de que sea cultivable localmente, la espirulina presenta ventajas muy importantes en la lucha contra la malnutriciĂłn crĂłnica. Asociaciones solidarias internacionales, como Antenna Technologies y Emprendedores del Mundo, que tienen por vocaciĂłn reducir la extrema pobreza y los problemas de salud pĂșblica de los paĂses en vĂas de desarrollo, han puesto en marcha programas de cultivo y distribuciĂłn de espirulina, especialmente en Ăfrica Occidental. La calidad de la espirulina producida en estos paĂses en vĂas de desarrollo no cesa de aumentar y es tal que permite su exportaciĂłn. Es por esto que asociaciones como Spirulidaire comercializan una espirulina artesanal, justa y solidaria en Francia y en Europa, permitiendo asĂ sostener a los productores locales. La percepciĂłn de la espirulina no cesa de evolucionar con la multiplicaciĂłn de iniciativas en el terreno y la acumulaciĂłn de datos cientĂficos. Los nuevos estudios realizados demuestran que la espirulina posee efectos antivirales e inmunoestimulantes clĂnicamente significativos en individuos infectados por el VIH

The new CMS DAQ system for LHC operation after 2014 (DAQ2)
The Data Acquisition system of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at CERN assembles events at a rate of 100 kHz, transporting event data at an aggregate throughput of 100 GByte/s. We are presenting the design of the 2nd generation DAQ system, including studies of the event builder based on advanced networking technologies such as 10 and 40 Gbit/s Ethernet and 56 Gbit/s FDR Infiniband and exploitation of multicore CPU architectures. By the time the LHC restarts after the 2013/14 shutdown, the current compute nodes, networking, and storage infrastructure will have reached the end of their lifetime. In order to handle higher LHC luminosities and event pileup, a number of sub-detectors will be upgraded, increase the number of readout channels and replace the off-detector readout electronics with a ÎŒTCA implementation. The second generation DAQ system, foreseen for 2014, will need to accommodate the readout of both existing and new off-detector electronics and provide an increased throughput capacity. Advances in storage technology could make it feasible to write the output of the event builder to (RAM or SSD) disks and implement the HLT processing entirely file based.United States.

Population screening for colorectal cancer means getting FIT:the past, present, and future of colorectal cancer screening using the fecal immunochemical test for hemoglobin (FIT)
Fecal immunochemical tests for hemoglobin (FIT) are changing the manner in which colorectal cancer (CRC) is screened. Although these tests are being performed worldwide, why is this test different from its predecessors? What evidence supports its adoption? How can this evidence best be used? This review addresses these questions and provides an understanding of FIT theory and practices to expedite international efforts to implement the use of FIT in CRC screening
An analysis of the control hierarchy modeling of the CMS detector control system
The supervisory level of the Detector Control System (DCS) of the CMS experiment is implemented using Finite State Machines (FSM), which model the behaviours and control the operations of all the sub-detectors and support services. The FSM tree of the whole CMS experiment consists of more than 30.000 nodes. An analysis of a system of such size is a complex task but is a crucial step towards the improvement of the overall performance of the FSM system. This paper presents the analysis of the CMS FSM system using the micro Common Representation Language 2 (mcrl2) methodology. Individual mCRL2 models are obtained for the FSM systems of the CMS sub-detectors using the ASF+SDF automated translation tool. Different mCRL2 operations are applied to the mCRL2 models. A mCRL2 simulation tool is used to closer examine the system. Visualization of a system based on the exploration of its state space is enabled with a mCRL2 tool. Requirements such as command and state propagation are expressed using modal mu-calculus and checked using a model checking algorithm. For checking local requirements such as endless loop freedom, the Bounded Model Checking technique is applied. This paper discusses these analysis techniques and presents the results of their application on the CMS FSM system
Evaluation of serum CEA, CYFRA21-1 and CA125 for the early detection of colorectal cancer using longitudinal preclinical samples
Blood-borne biomarkers for early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) could markedly increase screening uptake. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CYFRA21-1 and CA125 for the early detection of CRC in an asymptomatic cohort
