Ownership Transformation and System Change in China by Bernard Chavance

“…Compared to other post-socialist economies, the evolution of ownership forms during system change appears quite original in China. A first diversification occurred during the 1980s, with the enlargement of « non-state » (private, foreign) ownership forms ; concurrently usus and fructus rights were redistributed within unchanged legal forms of collective and state ownership. …”

Anaerobic fungi: Neocallimastigomycota by G.W. Griffith, S. Baker, K. Fliegerova, A. Liggenstoffer, M. van der Giezen, K. Voigt, G. Beakes

“…There are several genome sequencing programs underway in the US but these are hampered by the highly AT-rich genomes. Next-generation sequencing has also allowed more detailed investigation of the ecology and diversity of these fungi, and it is apparent that several new taxa beyond the six genera already named exist within the digestive tracts of mammalian herbivores, with others potentially inhabiting other anaerobic niches. …”

Analyser la politique économique à partir de facteurs sociaux by Fabien Eloire, Thomas Dallery

“…The turn to austerity appears neither as just the product of economic circumstances (external constraint) imposing this choice, nor as just the fruit of an (neo-liberal) ideological conversion of the government, nor as just the consequence of the relational work of a front of advisors, but as the joint product of these different causes.…”

Stubby-Root Nematode, Paratrichodorus minor (Colbran) Siddiqi (Nematoda: Adenophorea: Triplonchida: Diphtherophorina: Trichodoridae: Trichodoridae) by William T. Crow

“… Nematodes in the family Trichodoridae (Thorne, 1935) Siddiqi, 1961, are commonly called "stubby-root" nematodes, because feeding by these nematodes can cause a stunted or "stubby" appearing root system. Paratrichodorus minor is the most common species of stubby-root nematode in Florida, and in tropical and sub-tropical regions worldwide. …”

ON APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS FOR MODELING OF WATER CONSUMPTION by Alexander N. Salugin, Roman N. Balkushkin

“…The use of mathematical models in the form of a system of differentiated equations is hampered by the uncertainty of the coefficients in their right-hand sides, which describe the intensities of processes of different natures: precipitation, water consumption by various sectors of the water management complex, water runoff during snow melting, transpiration, infiltration, etc. …”

Closed-channel parameters of Feshbach resonances by Pascal Naidon

It appears however that short-range two-body correlations and three-body observables are affected by a parameter of the closed channel called the "closed-channel scattering length". …”

Comment rester vigilant face à l’oubli ? Le musée de la fonderie à Rosières by Guillaume Etienne

“…In the local museum of Rosières, a small industrial town located in the centre of France, the visitors are offered much more than the possibility to get a grasp of the smelting work itself, which we demonstrate through an analysis of the history of this museum, of the content of its permanent exhibition, and of a network of individuals who try to keep the industrial memory of this area alive. This museum indeed appears to function as a microcosm of a social life that no longer exists, and that was strongly connected to the factory life and the industrial plant as well as industrial paternalism that ruled the workers’ lives during almost one and a half century.…”
