Écriture autobiographique et sceau cicatriciel dans L’Ascension du Haut Mal de David B.

Le présent mémoire vise à détailler les particularités du discours autobiographique dans L’Ascension du Haut Mal afin de saisir la poétique de David B. comme un sceau cicatriciel permettant de rendre compte de la maladie fraternelle et d’y faire face, au moyen de stratégies autobiographiques qui consolident textuellement et visuellement l’identité de l’auteur-personnage au sein du récit. Le premier chapitre consiste en une étude sur les récits de soi en bande dessinée. Un survol historique de l’évolution de la bande dessinée autobiographique dans la francophonie européenne inscrit L’Ascension du Haut Mal dans le mouvement de contestation mené par les maisons d’édition alternatives du début des années 1990. Puis, l’état des lieux en matière de théories portant sur l’autobiographie en bande dessinée établit les critères selon lesquels cette œuvre répond au genre autobiographique. Les deux chapitres suivants correspondent aux grands axes du discours autoréférentiel de L’Ascension du Haut Mal: le postulat d’un pacte autobiographique et le récit de la construction identitaire de l’auteur. Le deuxième chapitre explique par quels moyens l’hybridité formelle, la dimension fantasmatique et le foisonnement intertextuel de l’œuvre étudiée altèrent le pacte autobiographique sans toutefois le rompre. Le troisième chapitre démontre que le développement identitaire du personnage de David B. répond à une logique d’opposition, en regard de son frère, de la société et même de la réalité, visible jusque dans l’esthétique de l’auteur. L’analyse des marques graphiques et thématiques symptomatiques des défenses élevées par David B. contre la tyrannie du Haut Mal, l’épilepsie, est effectuée.

Observações sobre autocompatibilidade em pupunha (Bactris gasipaes H.B.K., Palmae)

A pupunha aparentemente, possui duas estratégias que asseguram a sua polinização cruzada. Uma delas parece ser um fator genético quantitativo que inibe a auto-polinização. Para estudar este fator, duas series de polinização controlada foram feitas em duas diferentes populações juvenis. A primeira população apresentou uma media, de 19,2% de auto-compatibilidade, medida em percentagem de frutos férteis produzidos em relação a todas as flores. Entretanto, o coeficiente de variação foi extremamente alto. A polinização aberta em algumas plantas produziu 22% de frutos férteis, com um coeficiente de variação menor, sugerindo que, o " fruit set" foi, em geral, baixo nutria população, naquela vez. A segunda população, apresentou em media 37,62% de auto-compatibilidade, com um coeficiente de variação menor. Variação entre as árvores foi também detectada e mostrou ser considerável. Além do mais, a auto-compatibilidade variou de 0 a 81%, em distribuição normal. 0 uso de plantas juvenis pode ser a razão da alta variabilidade entre plantas. Apesar da pouca auto-compatibilidade encontrada nestas populações, esta característica é recomendada como descritor para bancos de germoplasma e deve ser obtida em plantas adultas para evitar a alta variabilidade juvenil.

Evolutionary dynamics on rugged fitness landscapes: Exact dynamics and information theoretical aspects

The parallel mutation-selection evolutionary dynamics, in which mutation and replication are independent events, is solved exactly in the case that the Malthusian fitnesses associated to the genomes are described by the random energy model (REM) and by a ferromagnetic version of the REM. The solution method uses the mapping of the evolutionary dynamics into a quantum Ising chain in a transverse field and the Suzuki-Trotter formalism to calculate the transition probabilities between configurations at different times. We find that in the case of the REM landscape the dynamics can exhibit three distinct regimes: pure diffusion or stasis for short times, depending on the fitness of the initial configuration, and a spin-glass regime for large times. The dynamic transition between these dynamical regimes is marked by discontinuities in the mean-fitness as well as in the overlap with the initial reference sequence. The relaxation to equilibrium is described by an inverse time decay. In the ferromagnetic REM, we find in addition to these three regimes, a ferromagnetic regime where the overlap and the mean-fitness are frozen. In this case, the system relaxes to equilibrium in a finite time. The relevance of our results to information processing aspects of evolution is discussed.

Cooperation of cytokine signaling with chimeric transcription factors in leukemogenesis: PML-retinoic acid receptor alpha blocks growth factor-mediated differentiation

We utilized a mouse model of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) to investigate how aberrant activation of cytokine signaling pathways interacts with chimeric transcription factors to generate acute myeloid leukemia. Expression in mice of the APL-associated fusion, PML-RARA, initially has only modest effects on myelopoiesis. Whereas treatment of control animals with interleukin-3 (IL-3) resulted in expanded myelopoiesis without a block in differentiation, PML-RARA abrogated differentiation that normally characterizes the response to IL-3. Retroviral transduction of bone marrow with an IL-3-expressing retrovirus revealed that IL-3 and promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor alpha (PML-RARalpha) combined to generate a lethal leukemia-like syndrome in

Functional and Evolutionary Insights from the Genomes of Three Parasitoid Nasonia Species

We report here genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti, and N. longicornis. Parasitoids are important regulators of arthropod populations, including major agricultural pests and disease vectors, and Nasonia is an emerging genetic model, particularly for evolutionary and developmental genetics. Key findings include the identification of a functional DNA methylation tool kit; hymenopteran-specific genes including diverse venoms; lateral gene transfers among Pox viruses, Wolbachia, and Nasonia; and the rapid evolution of genes involved in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions that are implicated in speciation. Newly developed genome resources advance Nasonia for genetic research, accelerate mapping and cloning of quantitative trait loci, and will ultimately provide tools and knowledge for further increasing the utility of parasitoids as pest insect-control agents.
