Pour une approche contrastive du présent simple en français et en portugais

Les temps du passé ont toujours constitué une pierre d’achoppement aussi bien dans l’enseignement du français aux étudiants lusophones que dans celui du portugais aux francophones. Le flot continu d’articles sur ce sujet attesterait, à lui seul, la difficulté du problème. Mais aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, il n’existe à ce jour aucune étude systématique qui aborde sur une base théorique le présent simple dans le passage du français vers le portugais et/ou vice-versa. Or, une telle étude nous paraît une voie de recherche intéressante et fructueuse qui ouvre de nombreuses perspectives de recherche, dont les possibilités d’application, que ce soit au domaine de l’enseignement des langues étrangères ou celui de la traduction, ne sont pas négligeables. Cette réflexion est d’autant plus urgente que l’emploi du présent simple pose de sérieux problèmes aux élèves lusophones plus inexpérimentés. En effet, ces derniers ont parfois beaucoup de peine à trouver les bonnes correspondances du présent simple en portugais. Afin d’aboutir à des conclusions fiables sur les similarités et les divergences entre le français et le portugais quant aux conditions d’apparition et au mode de fonctionnement du présent simple, nous nous attacherons, dans l’étude contrastive qui suit, à examiner des échantillons de textes littéraires français traduits en portugais et des extraits de textes littéraires portugais traduits en français1. Il s’agira essentiellement de montrer, en recourant à la Théorie des Opérations Énonciatives d’Antoine Culioli (Culioli, 1990; Campos & Xavier, 1991; Campos, 1997, 1998, entre autres), par quels moyens linguistiques le portugais exprime les valeurs aspectuo-temporelles associées au présent simple en français.

Optoelectronic Digital Capture Device Based on Si/C Multilayer Heterostructures

Combined tunable WDM converters based on SiC multilayer photonic active filters are analyzed. The operation combines the properties of active long-pass and short-pass wavelength filter sections into a capacitive active band-pass filter. The sensor element is a multilayered heterostructure produced by PE-CVD. The configuration includes two stacked SiC p-i-n structures sandwiched between two transparent contacts. Transfer function characteristics are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Results show that optical bias activated photonic device combines the demultiplexing operation with the simultaneous photodetection and self amplification of an optical signal acting the device as an integrated photonic filter in the visible range. Depending on the wavelength of the external background and irradiation side, the device acts either as a short- or a long-pass band filter or as a band-stop filter. The output waveform presents a nonlinear amplitude-dependent response to the wavelengths of the input channels. A numerical simulation and two building-blocks active circuit is presented and gives insight into the physics of the device.

Reconfigurable SiC Embedded Photonic Structures with Self Optical Bias Control

Multilayered heterostructures based on embedded a-Si:H and a-SiC:H p-i-n filters are analyzed from differential voltage design perspective using short- and long-pass filters. The transfer functions characteristics are presented. A numerical simulation is presented to explain the filtering properties of the photonic devices. Several monochromatic pulsed lights, separately (input channels) or in a polychromatic mixture (multiplexed signal) at different bit rates, illuminated the device. Steady-state optical bias is superimposed from the front and the back side. Results show that depending on the wavelength of the external background and impinging side, the device acts either as a short- or a long-pass band filter or as a band-stop filter. Particular attention is given to the amplification coefficient weights, which allow to take into account the wavelength background effects when a band or frequency needs to be filtered or the gate switch, in which optical active filter gates are used to select and filter input signals to specific output ports in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) communication systems. This nonlinearity provides the possibility for selective removal or addition of wavelengths. A truth table of an encoder that performs 8-to-1 MUX function exemplifies the optoelectronic conversion.

SiC Multilayer Structures as Light Controlled Photonic Active Filters

Tunable wavelength division multiplexing converters based on amorphous SiC multilayer photonic active filters are analyzed. The configuration includes two stacked p-i-n structures (p(a-SiC:H)-i'(a-SiC:H)-n(a-SiC:H)-p(a-SiC:H)-i(a-Si:H)-n(a-Si:H)) sandwiched between two transparent contacts. The manipulation of the magnitude is achieved through appropriated front and back backgrounds. Transfer function characteristics are studied both theoretically and experimentally. An algorithm to decode the multiplex signal is established. An optoelectronic model supports the optoelectronic logic architecture. Results show that the light-activated device combines the demultiplexing operation with the simultaneous photodetection and self-amplification of an optical signal. The output waveform presents a nonlinear amplitude-dependent response to the wavelengths of the input channels. Depending on the wavelength of the external background and irradiation side, it acts either as a short- or a long-pass band filter or as a band-stop filter. A two-stage active circuit is presented and gives insight into the physics of the device.

Celiac disease detection using a transglutaminase electrochemical immunosensor fabricated on nanohybrid screen-printed carbon electrodes

Celiac disease is a gluten-induced autoimmune enteropathy characterized by the presence of tissue tranglutaminase (tTG) autoantibodies. A disposable electrochemical immunosensor (EI) for the detection of IgA and IgG type anti-tTG autoantibodies in real patient’s samples is presented. Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) nanostructurized with carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles were used as the transducer surface. This transducer exhibits the excellent characteristics of carbon–metal nanoparticle hybrid conjugation and led to the amplification of the immunological interaction. The immunosensing strategy consisted of the immobilization of tTG on the nanostructured electrode surface followed by the electrochemical detection of the autoantibodies present in the samples using an alkaline phosphatase (AP) labelled anti-human IgA or IgG antibody. The analytical signal was based on the anodic redissolution of enzymatically generated silver by cyclic voltammetry. The results obtained were corroborated with a commercial ELISA kit indicating that the electrochemical immunosensor is a trustful analytical screening tool.

Voltammetric immunosensor for the diagnosis of celiac disease based on the quantification of anti-gliadin antibodies

Antibodies against gliadin are used to detect celiac disease (CD) in patients. An electrochemical immunosensor for the voltammetric detection of human anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) IgA and AGA IgG in real serum samples is proposed. The transducer surface consists of screen-printed carbon electrodes modified with a carbon nanotube/gold nanoparticle hybrid system, which provides a very useful surface for the amplification of the immunological interactions. The immunosensing strategy is based on the immobilization of gliadin, the antigen for the autoantibodies of interest, onto the nanostructured surface. The antigen–antibody interaction is recorded using alkaline phosphatase labeled anti-human antibodies and a mixture of 3-indoxyl phosphate with silver ions (3-IP/Ag+) was used as the substrate. The analytical signal is based on the anodic redissolution of the enzymatically generated silver by cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical behavior of this immunosensor was carefully evaluated assessing aspects as sensitivity, non-specific binding and matrix effects, and repeatability and reproducibility. The results were supported with a commercial ELISA test.

La traduction de renvois intertextuels dans le roman contemporain : Histoire du Siège de Lisbonne de Saramago et Vou-me embora d'Echenoz

Une des caractéristiques du roman contemporain qui constitue un défi pour le traducteur est l'usage constant que les auteurs y font de l'intertextualité. Ce recours à des renvois intertextuels crée, dans le roman, un rapport ludique selon lequel l'auteur introduit dans son texte des passages au statut différent, que le lecteur devrait trouver et interpréter. Traduire ces romans et ces procédés intertextuels exige du traducteur qu'il assume un rôle différent de celui que la tradition lui accorde: non plus celui du traducteur-reproducteur, mais celui du traducteur-créateur.

14, de Jean Echenoz, un récit de guerre à l’épreuve du pathos

14 is a recently published novel by a French contemporary writer, Jean Echenoz. Having the First World War as its core subject, the text covers the main traditional themes of war novels. Its interest, however, does not lie in what it says about the war, but rather in how the war is told. In fact, 14 points out the main horrors of the war, without engaging in pathos. In order to do so, Echenoz resorts to two groups of techniques, whose main purpose is to lighten the dramatic effect of the war scenes depicted. Surprisingly, the result is a text which recounts the crude horrors of war.

Sistema de teste de transístores bipolares de junção e de efeito de campo

O estudo das curvas características de um transístor permite conhecer um conjunto de parâmetros essenciais à sua utilização tanto no domínio da amplificação de sinais como em circuitos de comutação. Deste estudo é possível obter dados em condições que muitas vezes não constam na documentação fornecida pelos fabricantes. O trabalho que aqui se apresenta consiste no desenvolvimento de um sistema que permite de forma simples, eficiente e económica obter as curvas características de um transístor (bipolar de junção, efeito de campo de junção e efeito de campo de metal-óxido semicondutor), podendo ainda ser utilizado como instrumento pedagógico na introdução ao estudo dos dispositivos semicondutores ou no projecto de amplificadores transistorizados. O sistema é constituído por uma unidade de condicionamento de sinal, uma unidade de processamento de dados (hardware) e por um programa informático que permite o processamento gráfico dos dados obtidos, isto é, traçar as curvas características do transístor. O seu princípio de funcionamento consiste na utilização de um conversor Digital-Analógico (DAC) como fonte de tensão variável, alimentando a base (TBJ) ou a porta (JFET e MOSFET) do dispositivo a testar. Um segundo conversor fornece a variação da tensão VCE ou VDS necessária à obtenção de cada uma das curvas. O controlo do processo é garantido por uma unidade de processamento local, baseada num microcontrolador da família 8051, responsável pela leitura dos valores em corrente e em tensão recorrendo a conversores Analógico-Digital (ADC). Depois de processados, os dados são transmitidos através de uma ligação USB para um computador no qual um programa procede à representação gráfica, das curvas características de saída e à determinação de outros parâmetros característicos do dispositivo semicondutor em teste. A utilização de componentes convencionais e a simplicidade construtiva do projecto tornam este sistema económico, de fácil utilização e flexível, pois permite com pequenas alterações
