Schlieffen réfléchit à la possibilité d’un passage par la Belgique depuis fin 1896 et la première trace écrite d’une stratégie de débordement de l’aile gauche française par le nord se trouve dans un Denkschrift rédigé par lui le 2 août 1897. Toutefois, à ce moment, il n’est pas encore question pour Schlieffen de concrétiser ses réflexions dans le plan allemand officiel car il lui faut vaincre deux obstacles majeurs. Primo, la nécessité de créer un nombre de corps d’armée suffisant pour que la réalisation du mouvement tournant par la Belgique se fasse sans trop dégarnir les fronts d’Alsace-Lorraine et de Russie. Secundo, Schlieffen ne peut aligner de nombreuses divisions face à la Belgique que grâce à un réseau ferroviaire suffisamment développé dans l’Eiffel allemand. Le développement des lignes de chemin de fer dans la zone frontalière belgo-allemande offre de nouvelles perspectives stratégiques en cas de guerre future. [less ▲]

La série de rapports militaires encore présents dans la correspondance de la légation britannique à Bruxelles est incomplète et moins riche que les nombreux rapports conservés aux archives de l’Armée de Terre à Vincennes ; il n’empêche, le nombre de documents existants demeure important et susceptible de livrer des informations de première main sur les relations militaires belgo-britanniques avant la Première Guerre mondiale. Notre intervention consistera à faire un état des lieux des documents conservés, de leur localisation et de ce qu’ils peuvent nous apprendre sur la perception britannique du territoire belge. A l’aide des recherches que nous avons réalisées dans le cadre de notre thèse sur les plans français et allemands dans leurs rapports avec la Belgique, nous élargirons nos réflexions sur les relations belgo-britanniques dans une perspective militaire européenne.

Les difficultés d'acquisition et de développement du langage oral des personnes retardées mentales, et plus particulièrement, de celles atteintes d'un retard mental d'origine génétique, sont, à l'heure actuelle, reconnues mais malheureusement encore mal connues. Il existe en effet une grand variabilité inter- et intra-syndromes qu'il est aujourd'hui important d'étudier et ce dans une perspective d'intervention adaptée et efficace. Les recherches menés depuis quelques années dans le domaine de la spécificité syndromique suggèrent que les développements et les fonctionnements cognitif, langagier, mnésique, perceptuel et attentionnel diffèrent considérablement d'un syndrome à l'autre. Jusqu'au début des années 1990, on envisageait le développement des personnes présentant un retard mental (plus particulièrement modéré) en référence à un modèle dit "prototypique" : le syndrome de Down ou trisomie 21.

BACKGROUND: The low prevalence of childhood end-stage renal disease and the small centre sizes have been a barrier for clinical studies and the development of evidence-based guidelines for chronic renal replacement therapy (cRRT) in children. Few data exist on the quality of care for these patients and the applicability of existing guidelines. The aim of this study is to quantify variation in treatment policies and actually delivered care in nine centres that deliver cRRT for children. METHODS: We surveyed treatment policies in all nine centres in the Netherlands and Belgium and compared them with the actually provided therapies and with recommendations from available guidelines. Data on treatment policies were gathered by questionnaires; actually provided care and outcomes were registered prospectively from 2007 to 2010. RESULTS: Data on policies and actual patient care were obtained from all nine centres. We found relevant differences between centres in treatment policies on various topics, e.g. estimated glomerular filtration rate threshold as an indication for initiation of cRRT, preferred initial mode of cRRT, peritoneal dialysis catheter care, haemodialysis frequency and vascular access. Discrepancies were seen between stated treatment policies and actual performed therapies. For the majority of policies, no evidence-based guidelines are available. CONCLUSIONS: Health care disparities exist due to large and unwanted variation in treatment policies between hospitals providing cRRT for children. Delivered care does not live up to stated policies, for which clear and internationally accepted guidelines are lacking. [less ▲]

Since 2007, there has been a series of surface melt records over the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), continuing the trend towards increased melt observed since the end of the 1990's. The last two decades are characterized by an increase of negative phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) favouring warmer and drier summers than normal over GrIS. In this context, we use a circulation type classification based on daily 500 hPa geopotential height to evaluate the role of atmospheric dynamics in this surface melt acceleration for the last two decades. Due to the lack of direct observations, the interannual melt variability is gauged here by the summer (June–July–August) mean temperature from reanalyses at 700 hPa over Greenland; analogous atmospheric circulations in the past show that ~70% of the 1993–2012 warming at 700 hPa over Greenland has been driven by changes in the atmospheric flow frequencies. Indeed, the occurrence of anticyclones centred over the GrIS at the surface and at 500 hPa has doubled since the end of 1990's, which induces more frequent southerly warm air advection along the western Greenland coast and over the neighbouring Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). These changes in the NAO modes explain also why no significant warming has been observed these last summers over Svalbard, where northerly atmospheric flows are twice as frequent as before. Therefore, the recent warmer summers over GrIS and CAA cannot be considered as a long-term climate warming but are more a consequence of NAO variability affecting atmospheric heat transport. Although no global model from the CMIP5 database projects subsequent significant changes in NAO through this century, we cannot exclude the possibility that the observed NAO changes are due to global warming.

BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoid function is dependent on efficient translocation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) from the cytoplasm to the nucleus of cells. Importin-13 (IPO13) is a nuclear transport receptor that mediates nuclear entry of GR. In airway epithelial cells, inhibition of IPO13 expression prevents nuclear entry of GR and abrogates anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids. Impaired nuclear entry of GR has been documented in steroid-non-responsive asthmatics. We hypothesize that common IPO13 genetic variation influences the anti-inflammatory effects of inhaled corticosteroids for the treatment of asthma, as measured by change in methacholine airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR-PC20). METHODS: 10 polymorphisms were evaluated in 654 children with mild-to-moderate asthma participating in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP), a clinical trial of inhaled anti-inflammatory medications (budesonide and nedocromil). Population-based association tests with repeated measures of PC20 were performed using mixed models and confirmed using family-based tests of association. RESULTS: Among participants randomized to placebo or nedocromil, IPO13 polymorphisms were associated with improved PC20 (i.e. less AHR), with subjects harboring minor alleles demonstrating an average 1.51-2.17 fold increase in mean PC20 at 8-months post-randomization that persisted over four years of observation (p = 0.01-0.005). This improvement was similar to that among children treated with long-term inhaled corticosteroids. There was no additional improvement in PC20 by IPO13 variants among children treated with inhaled corticosteroids. CONCLUSION: IPO13 variation is associated with improved AHR in asthmatic children. The degree of this improvement is similar to that observed with long-term inhaled corticosteroid treatment, suggesting that IPO13 variation may improve nuclear bioavailability of endogenous glucocorticoids.

This paper is devoted to the imposition of Dirichlet-type conditions within the extended finite element method (X-FEM). This method allows one to easily model surfaces of discontinuity or domain boundaries on a mesh not necessarily conforming to these surfaces. Imposing Neumann boundary conditions on boundaries running through the elements is straightforward and does preserve the optimal rate of convergence of the background mesh (observed numerically in earlier papers). On the contrary, much less work has been devoted to Difichlet boundary conditions for the X-FEM (or the limiting case of stiff boundary conditions). In this paper, we introduce a strategy to impose Dirichlet boundary conditions while preserving the optimal rate of convergence. The key aspect is the construction of the correct Lagrange multiplier space on the boundary. As an application, we suggest to use this new approach to impose precisely zero pressure on the moving resin front in resin transfer moulding (RTM) process while avoiding remeshing. The case of inner conditions is also discussed as well as two important practical cases: material interfaces and phase-transformation front capturing. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In order to predict the effective properties of heterogeneous materials using the finite element approach, a boundary value problem (BVP) may be defined on a representative volume element (RVE) with appropriate boundary conditions, among which periodic boundary condition is the most efficient in terms of convergence rate. The classical method to impose the periodic boundary condition requires identical meshes on opposite RVE boundaries. This condition is not always easy to satisfy for arbitrary meshes. This work develops a new method based on polynomial interpolation that avoids the need of the identical mesh condition on opposite RVE boundaries. [less ▲]
