« Tout le monde le dit, cela doit être vrai » Science et croyances coexistent tout au long de ce manuscrit ainsi que dans notre quotidien. Elles se nourrissent l'une de l'autre et partagent la définition commune d'être ce que l'on tient pour vrai. Pourtant le reste des qualificatifs définissant l'une et l'autre sont diamétralement opposés. Alors que la science est fondée sur des observations objectives vérifiables et une méthodologie rigoureuse (evidence-based medicine), les croyances, sont quant à elles fondées sur des observations subjectives et non vérifiables et empruntes de biais cognitifs. Il semblait donc nécessaire de réaliser une enquête philosophique et scientifiqu...
La bactérie Gram négative Pseudomonas aeruginosa produit un grand nombre d’exoprotéines remplissant de multiples fonctions. Pour rejoindre la surface ou le milieu extracellulaire, ces exoprotéines doivent franchir successivement la membrane interne, le périplasme et la membrane externe. De multiples systèmes de sécrétion ont été mis en place par P.aeruginosa pour réaliser ces différentes étapes. Ainsi, les exoprotéines peuvent traverser l’enveloppe par le système le plus approprié à leur transport. Un de ces systèmes, le système de sécrétion de type II (T2SS) est présent en deux exemplaires. Ces deux T2SS, complets et fonctionnels ont été appelés Xcp (« extracel...

De multiples syst mes de s cr tion ont t mis en place par P. aeruginosa pour r aliser ces diff rentes tapes. Ainsi, les exoprot ines peuvent traverser l'enveloppe par le syst me le plus appropri leur transport. Un de ces syst mes, le syst me de s cr tion de type II (T2SS) est pr sent en deux exemplaires. Ces deux T2SS, complets et fonctionnels ont t appel s Xcp et Hxc. Ce travail de th se a principalement port sur le syst me Hxc. Il a permis de caract riser un des composants de ce syst me, la s cr tine HxcQ. Les s cr tines forment dans la membrane externe de larges pores par lesquels vont sortir les exoprot ines dans le milieu ext rieur. La majeure partie de ce travail de recherche a permis de d montrer que la s cr tine HxcQ tait une lipoprot ine et que cette s cr tine atypique tait adress e la membrane externe via son ancre lipidique N-terminale (Viarre et al., 2009).
In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used to study this fascinating microorganism. Chapters include microbiological methods to high-throughput molecular techniques that have been developed over the last decade. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Pseudomonas aeruginosa aids in the continuing study of new and cutting edge findings.
The Roman empire set law at the center of its very identity. A complex and robust ideology of law and justice is evident not only in the dynamics of imperial administration, but a host of cultural arenas. Citizenship named the privilege of falling under Roman jurisdiction, legal expertise was cultural capital. A faith in the emperor’s intimate concern for justice was a key component of the voluntary connection binding Romans and provincials to the state. Even as law was a central mechanism for control and the administration of state violence, it also exerted a magnetic effect on the peoples under its control. Adopting a range of approaches, the essays explore the impact of Roman law, both ...
On March 15th, 44 BC a group of senators stabbed Julius Caesar, the dictator of Rome. By his death, they hoped to restore Rome's Republic. Instead, they unleashed a revolution. By December of that year, Rome was plunged into a violent civil war. Three men--Mark Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian--emerged as leaders of the revolutionary regime, which crushed all opposition over the next decade. In time, Lepidus was removed, Antony and Cleopatra were dispatched, and Octavian stood alone as sole ruler of Rome. He became Augustus, Rome's first emperor, and by the time of his death in AD 14 the 500-year-old republic was but a distant memory and one of history's greatest empires had been born. Rome's R...
The Homeric Hymn to Demeter
"Margaret Atwood considers the Canadian literary landscape of the 1960s to be like the Burgess Shale, a geological formation that contains the fossils of many weird and strange early life forms, different from but not unrelated to contemporary writerly ones. The Burgess Shale is not all about writerly pursuits, though. Atwood also gives readers some insight into the fashions and foibles of the times. Her recollections and anecdotes offer a wry and often humorous look at the early days of the institutions taken for granted today--from writers' unions and grant programs to book tours and festivals."--

One of the key works of the poet and artist Henri Michaux (1899-1984) whose original approach intertwines the written word with his visionary paintings and drawings. First published in 1972, this English language translation of Henri Michaux's celebrated book mergences- R surgences has been published on the occasion of the exhibition Untitled Passages by Henri Michaux organized by The Drawing Center in New York. Part essay, part poem--by turns lyric, ekphrastic, didactic, gnomic, and comic--it is also one of Michaux's most sustained self-portraits.
