Le programme canadien des travailleurs agricoles saisonniers et le système régional de migration au Yucatán : où sont les femmes? by Marie France Labrecque

“…Based on the concept of regional system of migration as well as on ethnographic data collected in 2012 in Yucatán, the author describes the integration of women in the different types of migration in that Mexican State that is characterized by a high percentage of maya population, and shows that the unequal social relations, such as gender, are consolidated in the context of this program. The overall structure of the program, the type of insertion of individuals in this migration and social representations both at the point of origin and that of destination are at work to keep women in a state of subordination, whether as workers recruited in the SAWP or as spouses of workers in the program.…”

Fast and live virtual machine migration in data center networks by Teng MA, Yuxiang HU

“…In data center networks,virtual machine live migration causes large volume of data transfer on core links of the network,which leads to performance degradation of the baring application and other background services.Based on inheriting the existing memory page de-duplication technique,a new search structure was presented composed of a counting Bloom filter with each bucket pointing to a link list,which overcame the problem of false positive of memory page lookup.Furthermore,a pruned algorithm was proposed to reduce the length of each link list and accelerate the lookup as much as possible to accomplish live and fast virtual machine migration in rack level.Experiment results show that the proposed method transfers less data on core links,takes less time to finish migration,and decreases the degradation of network applications caused by migration.…”

Thioxopyrimidine in Heterocyclic Synthesis I: Synthesis of Some Novel 6-(Heteroatom-substituted)-(thio)pyrimidine Derivatives by Yuh-Wen Ho, Maw Cherng Suen

“…A series of novel N-cycloalkanes, morpholine, piperazines, pyrazole, pyrimidine, benzimidazolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, 1,2,3,4-tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, azopyrazolo[1,5- a]pyrimidine, pyrimido[4', 5':3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and pyridine derivatives incorporating a 5-cyano-4-methyl-2-phenyl-(thio)pyrimidine moiety were obtained by the intramolecular cyclization of 6-methylthio-pyrimidine, 6-(benzoylmethyl)thio- pyrimidine and 2-[(5-cyano-4-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidin-6-yl)thio]-3-dimethyl- amino-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one with appropriate amines and enaminone compounds, respectively. The structure of all new synthesized compounds was established from their spectral data, elemental analysis and the X-ray crystal analysis.…”
