Full textFluorescent proteins are widely used in biology studies since 20 years. Yet, the origin of their photophysical properties aren’t totally explained. Here, we try to improve the understanding of two particular fluorescent proteins: Padron and EosFP.In the protein Padron, we work on the isomerization of chromophore and try to determine whether isomerization and protonation are simultaneous or successive processes. During the isomerization, the potential donor is Tyr159.First, we show that, in vacuum, the proton transfer is quite unlikely whatever the chromophore geometry.In the protein (where the environment effect isn’t negligible) we evidence with molecular dynamics that, during isomerization, proton transfer stays marginal.In addition, these dynamics shown the appearance, at the end of isomerization, of a lot of water molecules channel between the chromophore and the solvent allowing a proton transfer. We conclude that isomerization and protonation are successive processes.In the case of the protein EosFP, we first analyze the effect of a water molecule which is found only in some of the crystallographic structures.Molecular dynamics of the protein with the chromophore in the ground state show that the water molecule doesn’t play any role neither in the hydrogen bond network nor in the absorption spectra.On the contrary, in the excited state, dynamics without this water show a significant faster decay of fluorescence that those with the molecule.In addition, those dynamics have demonstrate that during long period, the protein retains the chromophore in geometries in which it is unable to convert to the ground state, neither by fluorescence nor by internal conversion. Those “dark” geometries play a crucial role in the photophysics.To take them into account, we calculate the quantum yield and the fluorescence lifetime by direct integration along trajectories and by a kinetic scheme. We obtain a good qualitative agreement with the two methods

In the present Thesis wedevelop a theory for describing nonconventionalphases of ultracold dipolar gases.The related systems of large-spin atoms, polarmolecules, and dipolar excitons in semiconductorsare actively studied in experiments.We put the main emphasis on revealing the roleof the long-range character of the dipole-dipoleinteraction.We consider the effect of rotonization for a 2Dweakly interacting gas of tilted dipolar bosonsin a homogeneous layer. We predict the effectof rotonization for a weakly correlated Bosegas of dipolar excitons in a semiconductorlayer and calculate the stability diagram. Wethen consider p-wave superfluids of identicalfermions in 2D lattices. Finally, we discussanother interesting novel superfluid offermionic polar molecules

Full textAFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond: Die opspoor van beeninfeksie is veral moeilik in been wat as gevolg van vorige trauma of chirurgiese prosedures misvorm is. Gekompliseerde osteomiëlitis word ‘n gesondheidsprobleem veral as gevolg van die moeilike keuse tussen hoë koste chirurgie en langdurige kursusse binneaarse of orale antibiotika, asook die sosiale en sielkundige gevolge van langstaande siekte en die gestremdheid van die pasiënt. Die korrekte lokalisering van veral beeninfeksie is steeds ‘n uitdaging vir die geneesheer. Enkel foton emissie rekenaartomografie / lae dosis rekenaartomografie (SPECT/CT), die kombinasie van funksionele en anatomiese inligting, is ‘n goed gevestigde metode in baie kerngeneeskunde ondersoeke. Dit verbeter die algemene kwaliteit van die studie met ‘n meer spesifieke antwoord. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die bykomende waarde van SPECT/CT in die hantering van gekompliseerde osteomiëlitis in pasiënte met endo-protese, post traumatise osteomiëlitis met en sonder metaal prosteses asook diabetiese voet te bepaal. Metode: ‘n Prospektiewe studie is tussen Februarie 2010 en Februarie 2012 gedoen. Pasiënte met vermoedelik gekompliseerde osteomiëlitis wat aan die keuse en insluitingskriteria voldoen het, is ingesluit. Almal het abnormale drie-fase beenflikkergramme gehad, gevolg deur infeksiebeelding met 99mTc gemerkte witselle en 99mTc kolloïed indien die 99mTc gemerkte witselstudie abnormaal was. 67Ga sitraat is gebruik wanneer daar werwelaantasting teenwoordig was. Die planare en SPECT/CT beelde is vergelyk ten opsigte van diagnose en presiese lokalisering van die infeksie. Die finale diagnose is met behulp van chirurgiese monsters en mikrobiologiese kweking asook die kliniese opvolg van alle pasiënte bepaal. Resultate: Die studie het 72 pasiënte, 29 mans en 43 vroue, met gemiddelde ouderdom van 57 jaar [27 – 88 ingesluit]. Daar was 24 pasiënte met prosteses, waarvan 16 met heupprosteses (PH= 16) en 8 met knieprosteses (PK= 8). Van die 44 pasiënte met post traumatiese osteomiëlitis, het 26 metaal prosteses (TOM= 26) en 18 geen metaalprosteses gehad nie (TOWM= 18). Vier pasiënte het diabetiese voet gehad (DF= 4). By 19/72 van die pasiënte is infeksie op die planare beelde gediagnoseer en in 21/72 op die SPECT/CT beelde. Die bykomende twee gevalle was 1 met TOM en 1 met TOWM. Infeksie is by 4 pasiënte met prosteses, 16 pasiënte met post traumatiese besering en 1 met diabetiese voet gediagnoseer. In die vier pasiënte met prosteses, het SPECT/CT ‘n diagnostiese bydrae gelewer om osteomiëlitis by 3 van die pasiënte uit te skakel en die presiese omvang en lokalisering van sagte weefsel en beeninfeksie (STI/OM) in een pasiënt te bepaal. In 16 pasiënte met post traumatise osteomiëlitis op die planare beelde, was SPECT/CT van diagnostiese waarde, waar osteomiëlitis in 4 pasiënte uitgesluit is, en slegs STI bevestig is. Beter lokalisering van die opname in been en sagte weefsel was in 5 pasiënte moontlik, van wie 2 op die planare beelde negatief was, en in 7 pasiënte bevestig en die presiese omvang met beide OM en STI gedefinieer is. Een diabetiese voet was positief vir STI op die planare beelde, maar die SPECT/CT het diagnostiese waarde verbeter deur die omvang van die infeksie beter te toon. Ter opsomming, was die waarde van die SPECT/CT: 1. Uitsluiting van osteomiëlitis deur slegs van sagte weefsel aantasting te bevestig: 7 pasiënte 10% 2. Beter lokalisering in been en sagte weefsel: 5 pasiënte 7% 3. Beter definisie van omvang van infeksie: 9 pasiënte 12% 4. Geen bykomende waarde: 51 pasiënte 71% Die algehele sensitiwiteit, spesifisiteit, positiewe voorspellingswaarde, negatiewe voorspellingswaarde en akkuraatheid vir die opspoor van infeksie vir die planare beelde was 90%, 100%, 100%, 97%, 97%, onderskeidelik en vir die SPECT/CT 100%, 100%, 100%, 100% en 100%. Vir osteomiëlitis was sensitiwiteit, spesifisiteit, positiewe voorspellingswaarde, negatiewe voorspellingswaarde en akkuraatheid van planare beelde 100%, 89%, 53%, 100%, 90%, onderskeidelik en die van SPECT/CT 100%, 100%, 100%, 100% , 100%. Gevolgtrekking: SPECT/CT is nuttig in die lokalisering en definiëring van die presiese omvang van die infeksie in gekompliseerde osteomiëlitis in gevalle waar die planare beelde abnormaal is, met geen bykomende waarde wanneer planare beelde negatief is nie. Ons beveel SPECT/CT beelding as roetine in kliniese praktyk aan wanneer planare beelde in gekompliseerde osteomiëlitis abnormaal is.

Full textTemporomandibular joint dysfunction play a negative role on patient life quality standard. A diversity of signs and symptoms such us muscular pain, headaches (focal or diffuse), temporomandibular joint localized pain, limitation or excessive mandibular opening and joint noise may lead to difficulties of correct diagnosis. Clinical investigation and complementary exams are necessary in these cases. Conventional radiographic and tomographic exams exactilly indicates local anatomy but do not demonstrate functional metabolic changes. Tomographic images on Nuclear Medicine, SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) with 99m Tc-MDP (methylene diphosphonate) a radiopharmaceutical labeled with Technetium 99m demonstrate regional metabolism changes. The association to co-registered computed tomography (CT) and image fusion allows the anatomic placement of bone functional alteration into the involved structures. SPECT/CT is a low dose radiation procedure that makes simultaneous anatomic and metabolic observation possible. This assignment was retrospectively analyzed, SPECT/CT of 33 patients from the Nuclear Medicine Sector of the Image Department of the Research and Treatment Center of the Cancer Hospital A. C. Camargo, that presented sings and symptoms of probable temporomandibular joint dysfunction. The results of the exams were related with the patient data that were on their file like sex, age, anamnesis and clinical exam. The assessment of the reliability of the exam was evaluated by descriptive analysis using frequencies and percentages of the interest variables. We conclude that SPEC/CT showed high sensitivity (100%), specificity (90,9%) and accuracy (96,9%); demonstrating that it is an important and useful diagnostic method, that may be an exam of choice to the diagnostic features of temporomandibular joint disfunction.

Full textThis manuscript presents the work of a thesis dealing with the quantum transport of matter-waves in optical disordered potentials. This thesis lies in the context of the experimental study of the critical regime of the Anderson transition separating the localized states of a quantum particle in a disordered potential from its diffusive states. We will first present the fundamental concepts of wave propagation in disordered media to introduce the phenomenon of Anderson localization, for which we will establish the state of the art of its study with ultracold atoms. We will then present our apparatus, generating Bose-Einstein condensates as sources of matter-waves as well as our setup generating a spin-dependant optical disorder. We will focus on the upgrades we brought to our experiment to overcome the limitations previously encountered. After the introduction of these concepts, we will focus on the measurement of the elastic scattering time which is one the elmentary parameters of wave propagation in disorder. We will finish by connecting those measurements to the concept of spectral function, previously measured with our experiment. All those works pave the way to the spectrocopic study of the Anderson transition with ultracold atoms

Full textENGLISH SUMMARY: Introduction: Bone scintigraphy is used extensively in evaluating metastatic disease. There are currently no clear recommendations for the use of SPECT/CT in metastatic bone disease. Existing procedural guidelines from the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) for SPECT/CT do not provide specific indications for use of SPECT/CT in bone scintigraphy, and there are currently no other guidelines for the use of SPECT/CT in bone scintigraphy that the author is aware of. The aim of this study was to investigate the additional value of SPECT/CT, and to identify the clinical indications for which SPECT/CT is most useful in patients with suspected bone metastases. Subjects and Methods: Forty-two patients with equivocal lesions on planar scintigraphy were prospectively recruited and planar imaging, SPECT, and SPECT/CT done on all patients. On reading of SPECT and then SPECT/CT, patients and individual lesions were classified as malignant, benign or equivocal. Radiological studies and available clinical information were also used during reading of scans. Review of clinical information, radiological studies and/or follow-up bone scans were used as gold standard. The results of the SPECT and SPECT/CT were compared in terms of proportion of equivocal findings and accuracy. Results: Forty-two patients with 189 skeletal lesions were examined. There was a diverse variety of primary tumours, although the majority had breast (n=22) or prostate cancer (n=8). Overall, SPECT/CT resulted in a significant reduction in the proportion of equivocal findings on both a patient-wise (p=0.0015) and lesion-wise basis (p<0.0001). The overall accuracy of SPECT/CT was significantly higher than that of SPECT on both a patient-wise (p=0.0026) and lesion-wise basis (p<0.0001). Generally SPECT/CT decreased the proportion of equivocal findings and increased the accuracy independent of the presence of bone pain, type of primary tumour, or skeletal region involved. SPECT/CT did not significantly improve the diagnostic confidence of readers in equivocal lumbar lesions although accuracy was significantly improved in this region. Conclusion: SPECT/CT performs significantly better than SPECT alone for the interpretation of equivocal planar lesions. There is no evidence that the benefit of SPECT/CT is dependent on the type of primary tumour or the presence of bone pain. Where resources are limited, SPECT/CT is indicated only in those patients in whom correct classification of the lesions in question is expected to alter the patient’s management. SPECT/CT images should be interpreted with the aid of a diagnostic radiologist or nuclear medicine physicians should acquire sufficient experience in Computed Tomographic image interpretation in order to optimise diagnostic benefit from SPECT/CT.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding: Beenflikkergrafie word wyd vir die evaluering van metastatiese siekte gebruik. Daar bestaan tans geen duidelike aanbevelings vir die gebruik van Enkelfotonemissie rekenaartomografie gekombineer met rekenaartomografie (EFERT/RT, Engels SPECT/CT) in metastatiese beensiekte nie. Bestaande riglyne van die Amerikaanse Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) vir EFERT/RT gee nie spesifieke indikasies vir die gebruik van EFERT/RT in beenflikkergrafie nie, en daar is tans geen ander riglyne waarvan die outeur bewus is nie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die bykomende waarde van EFERT/RT te ondersoek, en om dié kliniese indikasies waar EFERT/RT in pasiënte met vermoedelike beenmetastases mees nuttig sal wees, te identifiseer. Pasiënte en Metodes: Twee en veertig pasiënte met twyfelagtige letsels op planare skeletflikkergrafie is prospektief geselekteer en planare beelding, EFERT en EFERT/RT is op alle pasiënte gedoen. Tydens beoordeling van EFERT en daarna EFERT/RT beelde is pasiënte en individuele letsels as maligne, benigne of twyfelagtig geklassifiseer. Radiologiese studies en beskikbare kliniese inligting is ook tydens interpretasie van flikkergramme gebruik. Kliniese inligting, radiologiese studies en/of opvolg beenflikkergramme is as goue standaard gebruik. Die resultate van EFERT en EFERT/RT is ten opsigte van die aantal twyfelagtige bevindings en akkuraatheid vergelyk. Resultate: Twee en veertig pasiënte met 189 skeletale letsels is ondersoek. Daar was ‘n verskeidenheid van primêre tumore, maar die meerderheid van pasiënte het borsvi (n=22) of prostaatkanker (n=8) gehad. Die gebruik van EFERT/RT het gelei tot ‘n betekenisvolle afname in die aantal twyfelagtige bevindings, beide op ‘n pasiënt- en ‘n letselbasis (p=0.0015 en p<0.0001 onderskeidelik). Die algehele akkuraatheid van EFERT/RT was betekenisvol hoër as die van EFERT alleen, beide op pasiënt- en op letselbasis (p=0.0026 en p<0.0001 onderskeidelik). Oor die algemeen het EFERT/RT die aantal twyfelagtige letsels verminder en die akkuraatheid verhoog, ongeag die teenwoordigheid van beenpyn, die tipe primêre tumor of die area van die skelet wat betrokke was. In twyfelagtige lumbale letsels het EFERT/RT nie die diagnostiese vertroue van beoordelaars van flikkergramme verhoog nie, alhoewel die akkuraatheid vir hierdie gebied wel betekenisvol toegeneem het. Gevolgtrekking: EFERT/RT vaar betekenisvol beter as EFERT in die beoordeling van twyfelagtige letsels op planare beenflikkergramme. Daar is geen bewys dat die voordeel van EFERT/RT afhanklik is van die tipe primêre tumor of die teenwoordigheid van beenpyn nie. Waar hulpbronne beperk is, is EFERT/RT slegs aangedui in dié pasiënte waar verwag word dat korrekte klassifikasie van die betrokke letsel behandeling sal beïnvloed. EFERT/RT beelde behoort met die hulp van ‘n diagnostiese radioloog beoordeel te word, of kerngeneeskundiges moet genoegsame ondervinding in die interpretasie van rekenaartomografiebeelde hê om die diagnostiese voordeel van EFERT/RT optimaal te kan benut.

Full textNowadays, MSPSR (Multi-Static Primary Surveillance Radar) systems are sustainably settled in air surveillance program [1]. Compared to mono-static radar currently in use, an MSPSR system is based on a sparse network of transmitters (Tx) and receivers (Rx) interconnected to a Central Unit and offers advantages in terms of reliability, cost and performance.Two kinds of MSPSR systems exist: the Passive form and the Active one. While the Passive MSPSR uses transmitters of opportunity such as radio Frequency Modulation (FM) transmitters and/or Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitters [2], the Active MSPSR uses dedicated transmitters, which emit a waveform that is controlled and designed for a radar application. Each receiver processes the signal coming from all transmitters and reflected on the targets; and the Central Unit restores the target location by intersecting “ellipsoids” from all (transmitter, receiver) pairs. Compared to passive MSPSR, the main advantages of the active MSPSR are the use of dedicated waveforms that allow reaching better performances (like a better association of the transmitters’ contributions at the receiver level); more flexibility in the deployment of transmitters and receivers station (in order to meet the requirements in localisation accuracy and in horizontal and altitude coverages); and the guarantee of having a service continuity. On this purpose, this thesis analyses the differents codes criteria such as the ambiguity function behaviour, the PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio), the spectrum efficiency, etc... . Then, in order to find dedicated waveforms for MSPSR systems, one solution is to find easily-constructed families of sequences. Thus building on the works carried out by the Telecommunication field for solving multi-user issues, this document investigates the application of spreading codes and OFDM signals in MSPSR concept. Besides, another solution is to directly generate a set of sequences. Based on cyclic algorithms in [3] we derive a new algorithm that allows to optimize sets of sequences. Similarly, using a gradient descent approach, we develop a more efficient algorithm than the cyclic one. Finally, in order to evaluate the performances of the different algorithms, this thesis generalizes the Levenshtein Bound, establishes new lower bounds on the PSLR (Peak Sidelobe Level Ratio) in mismatched filter case, and studies real data recorded during some trials

Full textThe purpose of this Ph.D. thesis is to study precise large and moderate deviation asymptotics for products of independent and identically distributed random matrices. In the first part, we establish Bahadur-Rao type and Petrov type exact asymptotics of large deviation probabilities for the norm cocycle «dollard»\log|G_nx|»dollard», where «dollard»G_n = g_n\ldots g_1»dollard» is the product of independent and identically distributed random «dollard»d\times d»dollard» matrices «dollard»g_i»dollard», «dollard»x»dollard» is a unit vector in «dollard»\mathbb R^d»dollard». The second part is devoted to establishing Bahadur-Rao type and Petrov type large deviations for the «dollard»(i,j)»dollard»-th entries «dollard»G_n^{i,j}»dollard» of «dollard»G_n»dollard». In particular, our result improves significantly the large deviation bounds established recently. In the third part, we investigate the Berry-Esseen bound and Cramér type moderate deviation expansion for the norm cocycle of products of random matrices. These results are proved by elaborating a new approach based on a smoothing inequality in the complex plane and on the saddle point method. The fourth part is devoted to studying Berry-Esseen bounds and Cramér type moderate deviation expansions for the operator norm «dollard»\|G_n\|»dollard», the entries «dollard»G_n^{i,j}»dollard» and the spectral radius «dollard»\rho(G_n)»dollard», for positive matrices. In the fifth part, we study the Berry-Esseen type bounds and moderate deviation principles for the operator norm «dollard»\|G_n\|»dollard» and the spectral radius «dollard»\rho(G_n)»dollard», for invertible matrices.

Full textScintillator based integrating detectors are used in conventional X-ray imaging systems. The new generation of energy-resolved semiconductor radiation detectors, based on CdTe/CdZnTe, allows counting the number of photons incident on the detector and measure their energy. The LDET laboratory developed pixelated spectrometric detectors for X-ray imaging, associated with a fast readout circuit, which allows working with high fluxes and while maintaining a good energy resolution. With this thesis, we bring our contribution to data processing acquired in radiographic and tomographic modes for material components quantification. Osteodensitometry was chosen as a medical application. Radiographic data was acquired by simulation with a detector which presents imperfections as charge sharing and pile-up. The methods chosen for data processing are based on a material decomposition approach. Basis material decomposition models the linear attenuation coefficient of a material as a linear combination of the attenuations of two basis materials based on the energy related information acquired in each energy bin. Two approaches based on a calibration step were adapted for our application. The first is the polynomial approach used for standard dual energy acquisitions, which was applied for two and three energies acquired with the energy-resolved detector. We searched the optimal configuration of bins. We evaluated the limits of the polynomial approach with a study on the number of channels. To go further and take benefit of the elevated number of bins acquired with the detectors developed in our laboratory, a statistical approach implemented in our laboratory was adapted for the material decomposition method for quantifying mineral content in bone. The two approaches were compared using figures of merit as bias and noise over the lengths of the materials traversed by X-rays. An experimental radiographic validation of the two approaches was done in our laboratory with a spectrometric detector. Results in material quantification reflect an agreement with the simulations

This study was developed by applying the in-depth interview technique to eight young people between 19 and 24 years old. The information collected was analyzed through three categories proposed by Czernikowksi, Matus and Moscona (2003), a) Suppression or Rivalry, b) Union or Conjunction and c) Disjunction or Separation. According to the results, the interviewees manifested ambivalent feelings, that is, they reflect on the brother with the diagnosis, feelings related to anger, jealousy and rivalry; as well as love, care and understanding. Well, they identify the restructuring in the family dynamics, which begins to revolve around their siblings; so, they claim to feel displaced and distance themselves from them, assuming this exclusion as a defense. They also expressed frustration at not having an expected family dynamic; recognizing that their role demands greater responsibilities than that of other family systems; Therefore, they went through an adaptation process, where they perceived their family situation as complicated.

Full textThe present PhD study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel perferrocenylated cyclic complexes utilizing cobalt - mediated cyclomerization in combination with C–H bond activation as well as formation of ferrocenylated phosphino-alkyne compounds with iron and cobalt carbonyls. Electrochemical properties and electron-transfer processes between terminal ferrocenyl units in the diverse cyclic compounds are explored in relation to the chemical composition of the building blocks connecting them. Eleven perferrocenylated cyclic compounds were obtained via [2 + 2] and [2 + 2 + 2] cyclomerization of 1,4-diferrocenylbutadiyne FcC≡C–C≡CFc (Fc = Fe(η5-C5H4)(η5-C5H5)) by the reaction with dicarbonylcyclopentadienylcobalt Co(η5-C5H5)(CO)2. They are subdivided into three groups: (i) products of cyclodimerization with additional chain extension, possessing cyclobutadienyl moieties as a central linkage unit (3a,b and 4a,b), (ii) products of cyclodimerization with consecutive CO insertion (6a,b,c and 7), and (iii) products of cyclotrimerization followed by cycle formation via C–H bond activation (5a,b,c). Optimization of the reaction conditions was made in order to maximize the amount of each group of compounds. Furthermore, another part of this research work focuses on diverse reaction patterns of (ferrocenylethynyl)diphenylphosphane with diironnonacarbonyl and dicobaltocta-carbonyl. Six mixed carbonyl and ferrocenyl-functionalized phospinoalkynyl compounds of iron(0) and cobalt(0) were obtained and characterized

Full textObservation = Signal d'intérêt + Interférence structurée + Bruit
Où l'interférence structurée est composée d'un certain nombre de Directions D'Arrivées connues ou estimées. De ce modèle, nous proposons deux types d'approches : (1) nous supposons disposer de la connaissance de M-S DDA sur un total de M et (2) nous souhaitons estimer de manière séquentielle M DDA.
La littérature fournit des solutions pour résoudre le problème d'estimation de S DDA d'intérêts sur un total de M. Les solutions proposées utilisent une déflation orthogonale du sous-espace signal bruité. Nous donnons alors une nouvelle Borne de Cramér-Rao (CRB) que nous nommons Prior-CRB associée à ce type modèle et nous montrons sous quelles conditions (très restrictives) cette borne est inférieure à une CRB classique issue du modèle linéaire composé de M DDA. Pour s'absoudre des contraintes liées au modèle à déflation orthogonale nous proposons alors d'employer une déflation oblique en place de la déflation orthogonale. Nous construisons alors de nouveau estimateurs des DDA d'intérêts. A la vue des simulations, les performances sont bien meilleures que les algorithmes à déflation orthogonale et nous proposons d'expliquer ces performances par la dérivation des variances théoriques de chacun des estimateurs proposés. Ainsi, via l'analyse de ces variances, nous montrons pourquoi la projection oblique est plus appropriée et nous donnons une relation d'ordre de chacune des variances associées aux algorithmes étudiés.
Ici encore le problème de l'estimation séquentielle de M DDA est un problème suscitant un grand intérêt. Seulement, les solutions proposées dans la littérature utilisent une déflation orthogonale pour annuler séquentiellement les directions préalablement estimées via un critère MUSIC modifié. Nous nous démarquons en proposant un algorithme qui pondère, par une fonction quadratique de forçage à zéro, le pseudo-spectre de MUSIC. Cette approche montre de bien meilleures performances que les méthodes à déflation orthogonale et permet de s'affranchir très nettement de la résolution de Rayleigh grâce au contrôle de la fonction de pondération. Nous montrons de plus que cet algorithme est efficace et que l'erreur de propagation peut s'annuler via le réglage d'un paramètre de la fonction de pondération. Pour caractériser au mieux les performances de cet algorithme nous proposons une CRB, que nous nommons la Interfering-CRB issue d'un modèle linéaire constitué d'une DDA d'intérêt et de M-1 DDA interférentes (DDA estimées préalablement ou restant à estimer). Nous montrons que cette borne « reflète » bien l'algorithme ZF-MUSIC.

Full textBiphosphonates are known for their anti-resorptive effects in benign (osteoporosis) and malignant bone diseases (myeloma, bone metastasis). Their clinical properties are based on the net increase of bone mass and mineral density. Their strong affinity for biominerals allows them a targeting for specific bone remodeling sites and a prolonged storage within bone. Little is known about molecular changes upon bisphosphonates uptake in high turnover bone sites. Therefore, the aim of the present work was to examine intrinsic bone material properties in a high cumulative bisphosphonates context such as newly-formed bone and bisphosphonates-related osteonecrosis of the jaws. Our results show that bisphosphonates could be linked to the overmineralization reported in jaw bones. In addition, bisphosphonates cause ultrastructural disorders of both mineral and collagenic components. These modifications could be attributed to: i) bisphosphonates effects on the duration of mineralization processes, ii) to its mineral binding/interaction consequences, and iii) interestingly to its potential contribution on the osteoblastic function. This work contributes to clarify the molecular impacts of high cumulative bisphosphonates uptake on bone quality

Full textIntroduction: Determining the postmortem interval in cases of skeletonized remains is a key element of the judicial investigation. However, few methods are applicable for an accurate estimate of this period. This taphonomic study wanted to be performed in a temporality joining the legal requirements applied in forensics. Thus, the main hypothesis of this study was an early organic postmortem bone degradation, particularly a collagen degradation. The latter has been studied prospectively.Materials and Methods: 6 human bodies without known bone disease were included, and for each subject, the ribs were chosen. The bones were included in a diagenetic environment and studied over 2 years. Macroscopic analysis of bone weight loss was performed, and completed by two methods: one molecular (Raman microspectrometry) and the other morphological (histology).Results: This work has highlighted certain features of the temporary bone alteration on its different phases via: a desiccation highlighted by bone mass loss; a diagenesis of organic and mineral phases. Thus, the study of physicochemical parameters by Raman microspectrometry revealed a temporary trend of declining mineral / organic ratios; decreasing carbonation; increasing crystallinity. Multivariate analysis of Raman spectra allowed: to distinguish temporal groups by discriminating via their organic contributions; to design a statistical model of practical use. The microscopic study of the samples revealed no microbial attack in the early postmortem period, but an alteration of collagen by chemical hydrolysis.Discussion: Our study identified three basic parameters of bone diagenesis that must be known to the forensic anthropologist, even over a period of 2 years which is \\\"short\\\" on the scale of anthropology:- The environment strongly influences bone diagenesis and should be studied as well as the bone itself. Indeed, the study of weight loss of the bone, revealed a phenomenon of bone drying, similar to the overall dehydration of the body in the postmortem period;- Bone diagenesis is a global phenomenon in which the various alterations of inorganic and organic phases are interdependent and can be evaluated by Raman microspectrometry. Also its contribution in the analysis of the chemical degradation of the bone, Raman spectroscopy and statistical tools associated with it, allows the identification of diagenesis classes. These classes will require additional studies, eventually to be a practical support in dating a bone;- The organic alteration of the bone may be due to chemical or bacterial degradation, according to the environment and the postmortem period. Histology can make this distinction. On this period of study, the collagen degradation by chemical hydrolysis is predominant.Conclusion: These parameters form a structural unit, which is well known in archaeological anthropology, and is absolutely transposable in forensic practice if appropriate methodologies are developed. Research on this topic has an essential role as forensics can respond to legitimate requests from victims and their relatives towards justice

Full textImproving our knowledge on water H-Bonded networks formed in the special environment offered by an interface is pivotal for our understanding of many natural phenomena and technological applications. To reveal the interfacial water arrangement, techniques able to provide detailed microscopic information selectively for the interfacial layer are required. In the present thesis work, we have hence investigated aqueous interfaces at the molecular level, by coupling theoretical modeling from DFT-MD simulations with SFG & THz-IR spectroscopies. By developing new investigation protocols/tools, coupling DFT-MD simulations and SFG spectroscopy, in particular for the more complex rationalization of charged interfaces, we have provided a global comprehension of the effect of various interfacial conditions (hydrophilicity, pH, ionic strength) on the HB-Network formed in the interfacial layer (BIL), on its spectroscopic signatures and on its impact on physico-chemical properties. We have shown for the first time that, in sufficiently hydrophobic conditions, BIL interfacial water creates special 2-Dimensional HB-Networks, experimentally revealed by one specific THz-IR marker band. Such 2D-network dictates HBs and orientational dynamics of interfacial water, surface potential, surface acidity, water surface tension and thermodynamics of hydration of hydrophobic solutes. Such "horizontal ordering” of water at hydrophobic interfaces is found opposite to the “vertical ordering” of water at hydrophilic interfaces, while coexistence of the two orders leads to disordered interfacial water in intermediate hydrophilic/hydrophobic conditions. Both DFT-MD and SFG further revealed how ions & pH conditions alter these BIL-water orders

Whole body bone scan is a common clinical routine investigation in nuclear medicine. The radioactivity substance, Tc-99m, marks on MDP and is intravenously injected into the bloodstream of a patient to help monitor this reaction. In bone lesions, more radioactive material will be seen, where metastases appear as areas of increased uptake. At present, bone scan imaging includes two modalities. One is called planar bone scan; the other is called SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computes Tomography). Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with Tc-99m MDP supports three-dimensional (3D) data acquisition without superposed images of body structures. This study presents a bone division method and a quantitative scheme to detect the findings of possible abnormalities. This study consists of the following three phases. First, we use 3D region growing algorithm to remove the bladder region for avoiding over-enhanced effect. In addition, a modified histogram by adopting global contrast enhancement method is used to separate bone from background and soft tissues. Next, a bone division procedure is followed to separate skeletal structures into five sections and to remove knees and elbows. Finally, lesions in each bone section are detected according to an adaptive threshold value and symmetricity features. In this study, the datasets include 73 patients who received Tc-99m MDP whole body bone SPECT scan. In total 365 bone regions, there are 28 bone sections of bone lesions. The method shows 92.85% sensitivity, and the average of 1.25 false negative of each patient.
