Le traitement d��finitoire des noms de plantes herbacées dans le Petit Robert

La présente étude, de type métalexicographique, s'insère dans une perspective de recherche visant à dresser le bilan de la pratique lexicographique réservée aux noms d'espèces naturelles dans les dictionnaires usuels du français. Elle porte sur le traitement d��finitoire de tous les noms de plantes herbacées répertoriés dans le Petit Robert (édition électronique 1996). Son objectif principal est de d��crire très précisément la pratique d��finitoire en cause. Nous commençons par passer rapidement en revue les différents procéd��s d��finitoires illustrés par notre corpus, avant de procéder à l'analyse d��taillée du procéd�� le plus exploité, celui de la d��finition par inclusion. Notre méthode d'analyse est basée sur la segmentation et l'examen comparatif des différentes composantes sémantiques et formelles présentes dans les d��finitions par inclusion de notre corpus. Elle permet non seulement de mieux connaître la pratique du Petit Robert , mais aussi d'en extraire un certain savoir-faire. Nous étudions quatre grandes catégories d'éléments descriptifs bien représentées dans notre corpus: les éléments de classification, les éléments de localisation, les éléments de valorisation ainsi que les éléments de morphologie en lien avec ces derniers. Nous donnons, de la métalangue utilisée et des principaux mod��les de description exploités, un portrait relativement précis qui pourra alimenter la réflexion des lexicographes et autres linguistes qui s'intéressent à la description des noms d'espèces naturelles en général et des noms de plantes en particulier.

Developmental vitamin D (DVD) deficiency in the rat alters adult behaviour independently of HPA function

Developmental vitamin D deficiency (DVD) has been shown to alter the orderly pattern of brain development. Even though the period of vitamin D deficiency is restricted to gestation this is sufficient to induce behavioural abnormalities in the adult offspring consistent with those seen in many animal models of schizophrenia. Given that some of these behavioural alterations could also be an indirect result of either impaired maternal hypothalamic pituitary axis (HPA) function (which in turn could influence maternal care) or the result of a permanent alteration in HPA function in the adult offspring we have examined HPA status in both maternal animals and adult offspring. In this study we have established that HPA function is normal in the maternally vitamin D deficient rat. We replicate the behavioural phenotype of hyperlocomotion whilst establishing that HPA function is also unchanged in the adult mate offspring. We conclude that the behavioural alterations induced by DVD deficiency are due to some adverse event in brain development rather than via an alteration in stress response. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Establishing statistical foundations early : data modeling with young learners

This paper addresses research from a three-year longitudinal study that engaged children in data modeling experiences from the beginning school year through to third year (6-8 years). A data modeling approach to statistical development differs in several ways from what is typically done in early classroom experiences with data. In particular, data modeling immerses children in problems that evolve from their own questions and reasoning, with core statistical foundations established early. These foundations include a focus on posing and refining statistical questions within and across contexts, structuring and representing data, making informal inferences, and developing conceptual, representational, and metarepresentational competence. Examples are presented of how young learners developed and sustained informal inferential reasoning and metarepresentational competence across the study to become “sophisticated statisticians”.

Production of microalgal concentrates by flocculation and their assessment as aquaculture feeds

A novel technique was developed for the flocculation of marine microalgae commonly used in aquaculture. The process entailed an adjustment of pH of culture to between 10 and 10.6 using NaOH, followed by addition of a non-ionic polymer Magnafloc LT-25 to a final concentration of 0.5 mg L-1. The ensuing flocculate was harvested, and neutralised giving a final concentration factor of between 200- and 800-fold. This process was successfully applied to harvest cells of Chaetoceros calcitrans, C. muelleri, Thalassiosira pseudonana, Attheya septentrionalis, Nitzschia closterium, Skeletonema sp., Tetraselmis suecica and Rhodomonas salina, with efficiencies >=80%. The process was rapid, simple and inexpensive, and relatively cost neutral with increasing volume (cf. concentration by centrifugation). Harvested material was readily disaggregated to single cell suspensions by dilution in seawater and mild agitation. Microscopic examination of the cells showed them to be indistinguishable from corresponding non-flocculated cells. Chlorophyll analysis of concentrates prepared from cultures of Concentrates of T. pseudonana prepared using pH-induced flocculation gave better growth of juvenile Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) than concentrates prepared by ferric flocculation, or centrifuged concentrates using a cream separator or laboratory centrifuge. In follow up experiments, concentrates prepared from 1000 L Chaetoceros muelleri cultures were effective as supplementary diets to improve the growth of juvenile C. gigas and the scallop Pecten fumatus reared under commercial conditions, though not as effective as the corresponding live algae. The experiments demonstrated a proof-of-concept for a commercial application of concentrates prepared by flocculation, especially for use at a remote nursery without on-site mass-algal culture facilities.
