Abstract

Addiction, increasingly perceived as a heterogeneous brain disorder, is one of the most peculiar psychiatric pathologies in that its management involves various, often non-overlapping, resources from the biological, psychological, medical, economical, social, and legal realms. Despite extensive efforts from the players of these various fields, to date there are no reliably effective treatments of addiction. This may stem from a lack of understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology of this disorder as well as from the lack of interest into the potential differences among patients in the way they interact compulsively with their drug. This book offers an overview of the psychobiology of addiction and its current management strategies from pharmacological, social, behavioural, and psychiatric points of view.

Abstract

The book “Supply Chain Finance Solutions” offers orientation in the new discipline of Supply Chain Finance (SCF) by investigating the need for and nature of SCF, along with its characteristics and enablers. Due to the novelty of the Supply Chain Finance approach, there are still many knowledge gaps. This lack of research leads to uncertainties about the successful implementation of SCF solutions within companies as there is little quantified evidence on the achievable cost savings and other potential benefits. The authors close this gap by providing the latest information on business concepts and the SCF market. Based on a sample SCF model, the worldwide market size for such solutions and potential cost savings to companies engaged in SCF are analyzed. The work underlines the generally agreed-upon attractiveness and future relevance of SCF solutions by creating win-win situations; for all actors in the end-to-end supply chain as well as for external service providers.

Abstract

Tracts, affiches, prospectus, pamphlets… Nombreux sont les éphémères qui accompagnent les événements collectifs, qu’il s’agisse de manifestations officielles, de crises politiques et religieuses, ou de simples faits divers. Mais les éphémères scandent aussi les événements de l’existence individuelle et quotidienne : bons points, images pieuses, menus, faire-part constituent autant de jalons qui façonnent notre mémoire et associent la vie privée aux rites sociaux. Comment les éphémères s’articulent-ils à l’événement politique, artistique, culturel ou familial ? En sont-ils la trace, le reflet, ou ce qui contribue à le construire comme tel ? Dans quelle mesure nous permettent-ils de mettre en rapport une histoire de l’événement et une histoire du quotidien ? Quelle valeur peuvent prendre, loin de leur contexte d’origine, ces documents qui en sont si fortement tributaires ? Telles sont les questions qui rassemblent ici des spécialistes venus d’horizons variés (conservateurs, chercheurs en lettres, histoire et histoire de l’art) pour montrer combien les éphémères ponctuent nos vies. Ce volume est publié dans le cadre du programme de recherche PatrimEph – La patrimonialisation des éphémères, soutenu par la Fondation des Sciences du Patrimoine.

Abstract

Rephy and Rephytox are coastal monitoring networks created by Ifremer. Their purpose is to observe the phytoplankton and associate hydrological parameters and to detect the algal toxins accumulating in shellfish. This work describes these networks before providing a global vision of data acquired during the last three decades. It shows the importance of series of environmental data acquired in the long term.rticulier aux scientifiques travaillant sur les écosystèmes littoraux, maisaussi à tout public intéressé par ces problématiques.

Abstract

This book focuses on current topics in quasicrystal science and research. Various themes are addressed, such as atomic structure, growth of quasicrystals, statistical physics and thermodynamics, magnetism, phasons, propagation of waves, surfaces and technological potential of quasicrystals. Insight into basics in physics and chemistry is also given, with examples from metallurgy, the surface of alloys, plasticity, etc., in order to point out the possible genuine aspects of quasicrystals and allow a better comparison with conventional alloys.

Abstract

Complex metal alloys (CMAs) comprise a huge group of largely unknown alloys and compounds, where many phases are formed with crystal structures based on giant unit cells containing atom clusters, ranging from tens of to more than thousand atoms per unit cell. In these phases, for many phenomena, the physical length scales are substantially smaller than the unit-cell dimension. Hence, these materials offer unique combinations of properties which are mutually exclusive in conventional materials, such as metallic electric conductivity combined with low thermal conductivity, good light absorption

Abstract

This book follows a successful symposium organized in June 2009 at the Human Brain Mapping conference.  The topic is at the crossroads of two domains of increasing importance and appeal in the neuroimaging/neuroscience community: multi-modal integration, and social neuroscience. Most of our social interactions involve combining information from both the face and voice of other persons: speech information, but also crucial nonverbal information on the person’s identity and affective state.  The cerebral bases of the multimodal integration of speech have been intensively investigated; by contrast only few studies have focused on nonverbal aspects of face-voice integration. This work highlights recent advances in investigations of the behavioral and cerebral bases of face-voice multimodal integration in the context of person perception, focusing on the integration of affective and identity information. Several research domains are brought together. Behavioral and neuroimaging work in normal adult humans included are presented alongside evidence from other domains to provide complementary perspectives: studies in human children for a developmental perspective, studies in non-human primates for an evolutionary perspective, and studies in human clinical populations for a clinical perspective.
