Les véritables débuts de la revue québécoise : anatomie d'un triomphe

L'étonnante prospérité du théâtre d'expression française à Montréal au début du XXe sicle tient à divers facteurs que nous avons tenté de cerner dans une étude à paraître. Tant dans le domaine de l'interprétation et de la scénographie que dans celui de la critique et de la réception critique, l'activité théâtrale connaît alors à Montréal l'une des plus glorieuses et des plus dynamiques périodes de son histoire.

L'organisation du théâtre à Montréal de 1880 à 1883 : trois année cruciales

Lorsque débute la saison 1880-1881, Montréal compte 140 000 habitants, majoritairement francophones. Elle a pourtant déjà cet aspect cosmopolite des grandes villes nord-américaines avec ses quartiers ethniques, ses zones réservées, ses rues marchandes et sa place financière. [...]

Factores asociados a recuperación visual deficiente después de cirugía exitosa para desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno

Introducción: Varias características pueden afectar el pronóstico visual después de resolver quirúrgicamente el desprendimiento de retina. Existen características no observables por el ojo humano por si solo pero si por tomografía óptica coherente que se relacionan con la recuperación visual. Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas y topográfica en los periodos pre y postquirúrgico de ojos que ha sufrido DR regmatógeno con compromiso macular y su relación con la calidad de recuperación visual después de una cirugía considerada exitosa desde el punto de vista anatómico. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo en el que se comparan algunas características en tres periodos perioeperatorios, uno antes y dos después de cirugía (3 y 6 meses) de 24 ojos con DRregmatógeno y compromiso macular intervenidos mediante retinopexia combinada con vitrectomía pars plana. Resultados: La recuperación visual mejor o igual que logMAR 0,397 (20/50) se dió en 41,7% de ojos y 16,7%. alcanzaron agudeza visual logMAR 0,301 (20/40). Cinco ojos no alcanzaron una ganancia de líneas de visión mayor a cinco. El líquido submacular ausente se observó en la mayoría de ojos que recuperaron más de cinco líneas al igual que aquellos con elipsoide conservado. La regularidad del neuroepitelio y el edema en el periodo posquirúrgico no mostraron comportamientos claros respecto a recuperación visual al igual que la altura del desprendimiento y el número de cuadrantes afectados. Una mejor recuperación visual fue más frecuente en aquellos con menos de cinco semanas de desprendimiento de retina. Conclusiones: El retraso menor a cinco semanas en la resolución del desprendimiento de retina, la conservación del elipsoide y la ausencia de líquido submacular en el periodo postquirúrgico se observó más frecuentemente en ojos con mejor recuperación visual.

Involutions of RA Loops

Let L be an RA loop, that is, a loop whose loop ring over any coefficient ring R is an alternative, but not associative, ring. Let l bar right arrow l(theta) denote an involution on L and extend it linearly to the loop ring RL. An element alpha is an element of RL is symmetric if alpha(theta) = alpha and skew-symmetric if alpha(theta) = -alpha. In this paper, we show that there exists an involution making the symmetric elements of RL commute if and only if the characteristic of R is 2 or theta is the canonical involution on L, and an involution making the skew-symmetric elements of RL commute if and only if the characteristic of R is 2 or 4.

Cantor-Bernstein Sextuples for Banach Spaces

Let X and Y be Banach spaces isomorphic to complemented subspaces of each other with supplements A and B. In 1996, W. T. Gowers solved the Schroeder-Bernstein (or Cantor-Bernstein) problem for Banach spaces by showing that X is not necessarily isomorphic to Y. In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on the sextuples (p, q, r, s, u, v) in N with p + q >= 1, r + s >= 1 and u, v is an element of N*, to provide that X is isomorphic to Y, whenever these spaces satisfy the following decomposition scheme A(u) similar to X(P) circle plus Y(q) B(v) similar to X(r) circle plus Y(s). Namely, Phi = (p - u)(s - v) - (q + u)(r + v) is different from zero and Phi divides p + q and r + s. These sextuples are called Cantor-Bernstein sextuples for Banach spaces. The simplest case (1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1) indicates the well-known Pelczynski`s decomposition method in Banach space. On the other hand, by interchanging some Banach spaces in the above decomposition scheme, refinements of the Schroeder-Bernstein problem become evident.

High laryngeal mask airway pressures resulting from nitrous oxide do not increase pharyngeal mucosal injury in dogs

Purpose: During general anesthesia, nitrous oxide (N2O) diffuses rapidly into the air-filled laryngeal mask airway (LMA) cuff, increasing intracuff pressure. There is no clear correlation between LMA intracuff pressure and pressure on the pharynx. We have studied the effects of high LMA intracuff pressures secondary to N2O on the pharyngeal mucosa of dogs.Methods: Sixteen mongrel dogs were randomly allocated to two groups: G1 (intracuff volume, 30 mL; n = 8) breathed a mixture of O-2 (1 L.min(-1)) and air (1 L.min(-1)) and G2 (intracuff volume, 30 mL; n=8) a mixture of O-2 (1 L.min(-1)) and N2O (1 L.min(-1)). Anesthesia was induced and maintained with pentobarbitone. LMA cuff pressure was measured at zero (control), 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after #4 LMA insertion. The dogs were sacrificed, and biopsy specimens from seven predetermined areas of the pharynx in contact with the LMA cuff were collected for light (LM) and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination by a blinded observer.Results: LMA intracuff pressure decreased with time in G1 (P < 0.001) and increased in G2 (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the groups (P < 0.001). In both groups, the LM study showed a normal epithelium covering the pharyngeal mucosa and mild congestion in the subepithelial layer There were no differences between the groups (P > 0.10) or among the areas sampled (P > 0.05). In both groups, the SEM study showed a normal pharyngeal mucosa with mild superficial desquamation. Few specimens in G1 and G2 showed more intense epithelial desquamation.Conclusion: High LMA intracuff pressures produced by N2O do not increase pharyngeal mucosal injury in dogs.

An Extension of Craig's Family of Lattices

Let p be a prime, and let zeta(p) be a primitive p-th root of unity. The lattices in Craig's family are (p - 1)-dimensional and are geometrical representations of the integral Z[zeta(p)]-ideals < 1 - zeta(p)>(i), where i is a positive integer. This lattice construction technique is a powerful one. Indeed, in dimensions p - 1 where 149 <= p <= 3001, Craig's lattices are the densest packings known. Motivated by this, we construct (p - 1)(q - 1)-dimensional lattices from the integral Z[zeta(pq)]-ideals < 1 - zeta(p)>(i) < 1 - zeta(q)>(j), where p and q are distinct primes and i and fare positive integers. In terms of sphere-packing density, the new lattices and those in Craig's family have the same asymptotic behavior. In conclusion, Craig's family is greatly extended while preserving its sphere-packing properties.

In this paper we discuss the existence of mild and classical solutions for a class of abstract non-autonomous neutral functional differential equations. An application to partial neutral differential equations is considered.
