le systeme decisionnel francais vu de i'exterieur donne, parait-il, i'idee d'un ensemble concu et fonctionnant suivant une rationalite plus ou moins optimale et classique. son examen de pres en procure, pourtant, une autre image. il illustre un systeme influence par un milieu appele « le milieu decisionnel central» compose principalement des membres des grands corps de l'eta...

the invention of the drug-eluting stent (des) has brought about revolutionary changes in the field of interventional cardiology. in the des era, in-stent restenosis has declined but new issues such as stent thrombosis have emerged. one of the emerging paradigms in the des era is stent fracture. there are reports about stent fracture leading to in-stent restenosis or stent thrombosis. most of th...

The Radiation Hazards Control (RHC) Section of the Radiation Safety Systems Division (RSSD) provides safety coverage on radiological aspects to various plants and facilities of BARC and other DAE units. The Division extends its expertise in dealing with safety matters pertaining to design, commissioning and operation of nuclear facilities. This report briefly summarizes the routine and the majo...

Cet article présente une extension des indexicals pour décrire des propagateurs de contraintes globales. Ce nouveau langage produit par compilation des propagateurs pour différents solveurs et est indépendant d’un solveur particulier. De plus, nous montrons que cette description de haut niveau aide à prouver certaines propriétés telles que correction et monotonie. Des résultats expérimentaux mo...

RÉSUMÉ. Nous étudions l’impact de l’introduction de la gestion active dans un réseau sur les paquets traditionnels traversant les nœuds actifs le constituant. Dans le cadre de l’infrastructure ARFANet, deux configurations de l’architecture d’un nœud actif sont considérées. Dans chaque cas, nous comparons les performances du nœud actif à celles d’un nœud traditionnel en utilisant le formalisme d...

French Sign Language (LSF) automatic processing research has to deal with uncomplete corpora of a language which is not yet fully described and has no written form. So, the researchers must carry out reductions at every representational level, constrain the conditions of acquisition of LSF discourses and limit the field of their applications. It is important that they should explain and justify...

says little that Eyler did not later include in his excellent intellectual biography of Farr, Victorian social medicine (1980). Several of the other essays also review ground substantially covered elsewhere in print. Each paper is accompanied by a discussion that the organizers of the conference self-consciously designed to further the exchange of professional perspectives by having an epidemio...

Combined Bayesian estimates for equicorrelation covariance matrices are considered. The case of a common equicorrelation p and possibly different standard eviations I,...,aok among k experimental groups is examined first, and the Bayesian estimation of (p, al,...,(k) is discussed. Secondly, under the assumption of a common standard eviation and possibly different equicorrelations, the Bayesian ...
