    En  idéologisant  la  pensée  philosophique,  Daniel  Dubuisson diabolise  tout    l’histoire  de  la  philosophie :  « de  Platon  à Heidegger  et  Eliade,  les  penseurs  de  l’Etre  se  sont  rangés  aux côtés  de  régimes  totalitaires  (de  l’oligarchie  spartiate  au  Reich nazi) »,  ecrit‐il.  Mais  une  oeuvre  n’est  toujours  ni  unitaire,  ni  égale,  ni  conséquente.  On  peut  trouver  dans  l’oeuvre,  en l’analysant, certaines correspondances, même idéologiques, selon la grille de lecture et le but poursuivi par celui qui l’étudie, mais \ud ce qui reste est ce à quoi une communauté scientifique a consenti par des évaluations et des revalorisations, au long du temps

    Maternal diet, aging and diabetes meet at a chromatin loop.

    We have recently demonstrated that exposure to a suboptimal diet during early development leads to abnormal epigenetic regulation of a promoter-enhancer interaction at the gene encoding HNF-4α, a key transcription factor required for pancreatic β-cell differentiation and glucose homeostasis. In addition, our studies revealed that the suboptimal maternal diet amplifies the age-associated epigenetic silencing of this locus. In this research perspective we discuss these novel findings in the context of the growing list of epigenetic mechanisms by which the environment can affect gene activity and emphasize their implications for the understanding of the mechanistic basis of the development of type 2 diabetes with age.This work was supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the British Heart Foundation, the FP6 Epigenome Network of Excellence programme, GlaxoSmithKline, the Nuffield Foundation, the Royal Society, the National Institute for Health Research Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, and the Medical Research Council Centre for Obesity and Related Metabolic Disease

    Stochastic Battery SOC Model of EV Community for V2G Operations Using CTA-2045 Standards

    An electric vehicle (EV) battery has large energy storage capacity in the context of residential total usage, and the potential to provide large energy reserves for Home energy Management (HEM) systems. In an electric distribution system, groups of EVs could provide vehicle-to-grid (V2G) service in response to control signals and enable virtual power plant (VPP) operation of the car batteries. The CTA-2045 standards were considered for integration of the EV controls into the HEM system for maximal interoperability with other appliances, such as residential battery, electric water heater, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The power distribution system under study was modeled based on a modified IEEE 123-bus feeder test case in OpenDSS software. The availability and state of charge (SOC) of EVs were calculated based on the national household travel survey (NHTS) data following a new procedure to create synthetic communities following experimental probability density functions (PDFs). Example case studies for long and short term V2G services were completed in this paper from the perspective of the distribution system. The power flow for the distribution system, the voltages on the buses, as well as the SOCs and available energies of the EVs were calculated following the control signals on an example day

    Smart Plug and Circuit Breaker Technologies for Residential Buildings in the US

    A significant proportion of the total energy in conventional homes across the United States is used by electric plug loads, which include various electronic devices and home appliances, excluding the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units and electric water heaters. Considerable energy savings are expected to be possible by managing these plug loads effectively based on user behavior data. Smart plugs and circuit breakers that can control and monitor energy usage on a real-time basis are becoming increasingly popular alongside the rapid development of smart home energy management. This paper reviews the recent advances on the subject matter with emphasis on the feasibility of energy monitoring and the flexibility of system integration. A relatively low cost laboratory implementation, using a general-purpose single-board computer, which was was designed, built, and tested in order to provide enhanced power quality monitoring capabilities and to support research in this fast growing area, is described together with experimental sample results
