Accommodation intersubjective et générique dans le forum du Madman’s Café by Stéphane Kostantzer

“…The main strategy for the contributors to differentiate consists of embedding other genres (in the Bakhtinian sense of the word) in their messages, sometimes affiliated, sometimes totally unrelated to the norms of this forum, from which the speakers may diverge inconsequentially, or towards which they may feign a useless convergence—a process that has strong humorous potential. Humour, which generally proceeds from an intentional hiatus between a stylistic convergence and an ideological divergence, is a vehicle of choice for the expression of one’s personal identity. …”

Reconnaissance spécifique et socio-écologie des primates by Fabien Génin, Hajarimanitra Rambeloarivony, Judith C Masters

“…Cette théorie repose sur trois faiblesses de la théorie de la sélection sexuelle : 1) Sélection stabilisante : la reconnaissance spécifique est plus générale et parcimonieuse que le choix de partenaire sexuel dont le fitness ne peut pas être évalué a priori ; 2) Tautologie : La compétition devrait être limitée au moins chez les espèces rencontrées à faible densités, comme nombre de primates ; et le potentiel de monopolisation ne peut pas être à la fois la cause et l’effet de la sélection sexuelle ; 3) Co-évolution : l’investissement reproducteur n’est pas plus grand chez les femelles que chez les mâles parce qu’il comprend aussi la phase d’appariement souvent plus coûteuse chez les mâles : en fait, l’information génétique contenue dans chaque embryon provient d’un mâle et d’une femelle en quantités à peu près égales. …”

On the Effect of Gas Content in Centrifugal Pump Operations with Non-Newtonian Slurries by Nicola Zanini, Alessio Suman, Mattia Piovan, Michele Pinelli

“…Several models are found in the literature to predict the performance of centrifugal pumps with this type of fluids, but a lack of reliability and generality emerges. In this work, an extensive experimental campaign is carried out with an on-purpose test bench to investigate the effect of non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids on the performance of a small commercial centrifugal pump. …”
