Les «lettres de protection» coptes

Etude des «lettres de protection» copte, notamment de leur formulaire. Réédition de trois documents.

Un extrait du Psaume 90 en copte. Édition de P.Duk. inv. 448

Publication d'un papyrus inédit de la collection de Duke University contenant un extrait du Psaume 90 en copte; le papyrus a probablement servi d'amulette

Un "Notre-Père" en copte à Médinet Abou

Identification et réédition d'une inscription copte fragmentaire portant le texte du Notre-Père. L'inscription était peinte à l'intérieur d'une maison adossée à un mur du temple de Ramsès III à Médinet Abou, devenu le village de Djèmé à l'époque chrétienne.

Un symbole de Nicée à Deir el-Bahari

Identification et édition d'un fragment de tablette de bois portant le texte très mutilé du symbole de Nicée en grec

El análisis didáctico y el estudio de los cambios curriculares en la enseñanza de la aritmética: la implantación del Sistema Métrico Decimal en España

Presentamos los resultados de un estudio histórico sobre los cambios curriculares en libros de texto de matemáticas con la introducción del Sistema Métrico Decimal en España durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. El estudio se orientó por el método histórico y el Análisis Didáctico como herramienta para el estudio de libros de texto históricos. Esto ha permitido caracterizar la inclusión de este sistema metrológico en libros de texto para primaria, secundaria y la formación de maestros mediante la identificación y descripción de la estructura conceptual, los procedimientos, representaciones y contextos con que se incluyó a las unidades de pesas y medidas métrico-decimales en los tópicos de aritmética. El estudio proporciona antecedentes históricos e información relevante para comparar y caracterizar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la aritmética enfocando el SMD en el currículo español desde su implantación hasta la actualidad.

Structure and dynamics of a confined ionic liquid. topics of relevance to dye-sensitized solar cells

The behavior of a model ionic liquid (IL) confined between two flat parallel walls was studied at various interwall distances using computer simulations. The results focus both on structural and dynamical properties. Mass and charge density along the confinement axis reveal a structure of layers parallel to the walls that leads to an oscillatory profile in the electrostatic potential. Orientational correlation functions indicate that cations at the interface orient tilted with respect to the surface and that any other orientational order is lost thereafter. The diffusion coefficients of the ions exhibit a maximum as a function of the confinement distance, a behavior that results from a combination of the structure of the liquid as a whole and a faster molecular motion in the vicinity of the walls. We discuss the relevance of the present results and elaborate on topics that need further attention regarding the effects of ILs in the functioning of IL-based dye-sensitized solar cells.

Orientation and navigation in bats: known unknowns or unknown unknowns?

Bats have been extensively studied with regard to their ability to orient, navigate and hunt prey by means of echolocation, but almost nothing is known about how they orient and navigate in situations such as migration and homing outside the range of their echolocation system. As volant animals, bats face many of the same problems and challenges as birds. Migrating bats must relocate summer and winter home ranges over distances as far as 2,000 km. Foraging bats must be able to relocate their home roost if they range beyond a familiar area, and indeed circumstantial evidence suggests that these animals can home from more than 600 km. However, an extensive research program on homing and navigation in bats halted in the early 1970s. The field of bird navigation has advanced greatly since that time and many of the mechanisms that birds are known to use for navigation were not known or widely accepted at this time. In this paper I discuss what is known about orientation and navigation in bats and use bird navigation as a model for future research in bat navigation. Technology is advancing such that previous difficulties in studying orientation in bats in the field can be overcome and so that the mechanisms of navigation in this highly mobile animal can finally be elucidated.

Sensory systems and spatial memory in the fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus

The megachiropteran fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus is able to orient and navigate using both vision and echolocation. These two sensory systems have different environmental constraints however, echolocation being relatively short range when compared with vision. Despite this difference, an experiment testing their memory of a perch location demonstrates that once the location of a perch is learned R. aegyptiacus is not influenced by the movement of local landmark cues in the vicinity of the perch under either light or dark conditions. Thus despite the differing constraints of vision and echolocation, this suggests a place is remembered as a location in space and not by associations with landmarks in the vicinity. A decrease in initial performance when the task was repeated in the dark suggested the possibility that a memory of a location learned using vision does not generalize to echolocation.

Every Situation has its Rhythm: Acoustic Mimesis and Sonic Exoticism in Tambours Sur La Digue.

This article examines the soundscapes of Ariane Mnouchkine’s Tambours Sur La Digue and explores the concept of acoustic mimesis located in the performance as a dramaturgical strategy to create, aurally, an imagined Far East. In Tambours, mimesis is the performative principle exemplified by the presentation of the mise en scène, and most distinctly Mnouckine’s decision to adapt the Japanese performance tradition of Bunraku through a process of 'reversed' mimicry (in which human bodies simulate the wooden marionettes of the Japanese style). Mimesis pervades the acoustemologies of the performance as it is heard in the extracted sounds, styles, and rhythms of Asian musical modes and movements that consequently become dislocated from context; the sounds become imitated, iconicised and exoticised as sonic signatures as they reify the Orientalist spectacle. The 'oriental' soundscape, reverberating with exotic overtones, becomes the means by which the production creates an imaginary Orient – one in which the Orient Other is silenced, and is resounded only through the musical sensibilities of the Occidental Self.
