La ville à l’écran : esthétique du spectaculaire et du tentaculaire dans Metropolis de Fritz Lang et Brazil de Terry Gilliam by Raphaëlle Costa de Beauregard

“…This paper addresses the city as a cultural construct in Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1928) and Brazil (Terry Gilliam, 1985): first as a dream space for the development of futurist architecture, then as a privileged screen-space for chiaroscuro and the German expressionist context, and its transposition in Technicolor, and third as the locus for an irretrievable metamorphosis of the human species, particularly in the depiction of Woman as a "femme fatale".…”

Les jardins des « châteaux de la Seine », du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours : métamorphoses et disparitions by Andrea Baserga, Jérémie David

“…The gardens and their chateaux, which in turn reflect changes in taste, social developments and economic constraints, also provide an insight into the metamorphosis of landscapes in the Paris region. By studying the disappearance of these chateaux, Andrea Baserga and Jérémie David propose a history of art that makes disappearance a key stage in the itinerary of monuments and goes back to the sources of this process.…”

Étude de « On the Island » de Patrick MacDonogh by Jean-Claude Castangt

“…Some aspects of this relationship are: an innocent vision; descriptive poetry, without elaborate symbolism; “wonder and delight”; a vision of experience; the ironies of the world; poetry of the open air, not of “the curtained room”: the time and place of the experience and of the enunciation tend to coincide, the mind relaxes and finds itself, silence turns into words, “sweet discipline” has given rise to the poem; towards metamorphosis: identification with surroundings, and anthropomorphic points of view, osmosis. …”

Functions of thyroid hormone signaling in regulating melanophore, iridophore, erythrophore, and pigment pattern formation in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) by Yongguan Liao, Tong Han, Dongneng Jiang, Chunhua Zhu, Gang Shi, GuangLi Li, Hongjuan Shi

“…Thyroid hormones (TH) function as an important endocrine factor in regulating metamorphosis. In this study, exogenous thyroid hormones 3,5,3′-L-triiodothyronine (T3) and its inhibitor thiourea (TU) were used to treat spotted scat juveniles during the metamorphosis stage (from 60 to 90 dpf). …”

Nutrient status alters developmental fates via a switch in mitochondrial homeodynamics by Jie Zhang, Suning Liu, Yang Li, Guanfeng Xu, Huimin Deng, Kirst King-Jones, Sheng Li

“…Ultimately, pre-NRC starvation causes severe mitophagy and proteasome dysfunction, blocking steroidogenesis and metamorphosis. By contrast, post-NRC starvation does not impair mitochondrial homeostasis in PG cells but reduces sit expression and induces moderate autophagy to promote steroidogenesis, leading to precocious metamorphosis. …”

Vulnerability detection method for blockchain smart contracts based on metamorphic testing by Jinfu CHEN, Zhenxin WANG, Saihua CAI, Qiaowei FENG, Yuhao CHEN, Rongtian XU, KwakuKudjo Patrick

“…Aimed at the defects of existing test methods, a vulnerability detection method for blockchain smart contracts based on metamorphic testing was proposed, which could generate test cases for specific functions in blockchain smart contracts to detect possible vulnerabilities.According to the possible security vulnerabilities, different metamorphosis relationships were designed and then metamorphic testing was performed.Through verifying whether the metamorphic relationship between the source test case and the subsequent test case was satisfied, whether the smart contract had related security vulnerabilities was judged.The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect the security vulnerabilities in the smart contracts.…”

Charles et ses images by Anne-Marie Baron

“…From Pierre Renoir, touching and authentic, to Gregg Edelman, who fantasizes on a pornographic website in Todd Field’s Little Children, the more or less pathetic or ridiculous portrayals given by Van Heflin, Aribert Wäscher, Alberto Bello, Jean-François Balmer, Farooq Shaikh or Luis-Miguel Cintra, show that more than any other character in the novel, Charles has been submitted to a serious metamorphosis by being interpreted on screen according to each country’s civilization and the successive decades of filming.…”
