Sôbre o aparelho genital interno do macho de Phlebotomus longipalpis (Lutz et Neiva, 1912): (Diptera, Psychodidae)

O aparelho genital interno do macho de Phlebotomus longipalpis compõe-se de dois testículos simples e dos vasos deferentes que se unem em um hilo e continuam, depois, como canal ímpar, penetrando na pompeta que representa uma bomba de sucção e pressão para o transporte do esperma. Os vasos deferentes, antes de formar um hilo, possuem regiões glandulares. Também uma parede do hilo é glandular. As duas secreções misturam-se na cavidade do hilo onde se realiza a suspensão dos espérmios neste líquido. A pompeta consta de um corpo de compressão e de um pistilo comprido que penetra neste por ação muscular. Os músculos que comprimem o esperma para dentro dos canais ejaculatórios, localizam-se entre oo corpo de compressão e a extremidade do pistilo, de onde partem alguns fascículos de músculos para a antecosta do 5º segmento abdominal onde se inserem: êste músculo representa o retrator do pistilo. A construção da pompeta e dos canais ejaculatórios é explicada nos esquemas das figs. 1, 4 e 5. Nos tergitos dos 7º e 8º segmentos abdominais do macho existe uma grande glândula odorífera de origem hipodermal. Esta foi encontrada em Phlebotomus longipalpis e P. quinquefer, sendo êste órgão ausente em P. renei e nas fêmeas de tôdas as três espécies.

Publishing performance of spanish academics: 1970-2004: institutions, researchers et al.

This work complements some of the results appearing in the article ?Publishing Performance in Economics: Spanish Rankings? by Dolado et al. . Specifically we focus on the robustness of the results regardless of the time span considered, the effect of the choice of a particular database on the final results, and the effects on changes in the unit of institutional measure (departments versus institutions as a whole). Differences are significant when we expand the time period considered. There are also significant but small differences if we combine datasets to derive the rankings. Finally, department rankings offer a more precise picture of the situation of the Spanish academics, although results do not differ substantially from those obtained when overall institutions are considered.

L’Europe des partis: paradoxes, contradictions et antinomies

L’autor constata la presència de clivelles europeus conseqüència d’apostes que només la Unió Europea pot tractar ja que s’escapen de l’acció dels governs europeus. De les dos clivelles descobertes per Hix i Lord en el Parlament europeu, la que oposa els partidaris de la "Europa liberal" amb els de l’"Europa social" és avui determinant per dues raons, doctrinal la primera i empírica la segona, que l’autor desenvolupa en aquest treball.

Valuations, intersections et fonctions de Belyi

We present in this article several possibilities to approach the height of an algebraic curve defined over a number field : as an intersection number via the Arakelov theory, as a limit point of the heights of its algebraic points and, finally, using the minimal degree of Belyi functions.

Petits points et conjecture de Bogomolov

This paper is devoted to the statement known as the Bogomolov conjecture on small points. We present the outline of Zhang’s proof of the generalized version of the conjecture. An explicit bound for the height of a non-torsion variety of an abelian variety is obtained in the frame of Arakelov theory. Some further developments are mentioned.

"Vie et Passion de Jésus-Christ" (Pathé, 1902-1905): hétérogénéité des "tableaux", déclinaison des motifs

Cette étude examine deux copies de la "Vie et Passion de Jésus Christ" conservées par la Cinémathèque suisse avec une première préoccupation de type philologique qui conduit à prendre la mesure de l'autonomisation de chacun des "tableaux" composant le film et de l'hétérogénéité de ce dernier. Puis les constats émis à propos du support matériel sont articulés avec une réflexion d'ordre esthétique qui dégage l'importance de l'"effet-tableau" inscrivant cette production filmique dans une généalogie plus large. Le cinéma étant alors le lieu de convergences entre diverses séries culturelles, l'article envisage les liens entre la production Pathé et une pratique jusqu'ici peu discutée dans ce contexte, celle du tableau vivant. This article is a study of two copies of the "Life and Passion of Jesus Christ" held at the Cinemathèque suisse. Our first, broadly philological, concern is to recognise the degree of autonomy of each of the "tableaus" that make up the film, thus establishing the latter's heterogeneous composition. Secondly, adopting a more aesthetic approach, we discuss the importance of the tableau-effect, placing this kind of film production in a wider genealogical context. Given that cinema was at the time a meeting place for different cultural sequences, this article the examines the links between Pathe films and the "tableau vivant", a practice that until now has been rarely discussed in this regard.
