Green leaves illuminated with photosynthetically active light emit red fluorescence, whose time-dependent intensity variations reflect photosynthetic electron transport (the Kautsky effect). Usually, fluorescence variations are discussed by considering only the contribution of PSII-associated chlorophyll a, although it is known that the fluorescence of PSI-associated chlorophyll a also contributes to the total fluorescence [Aust. J. Plant Physiol. 22 (1995) 13 1]. Because the fluorescence emitted by each photosystem cannot be measured separately by selecting the emission wavelength in in vivo conditions, the contribution of PSI to total fluorescence at room temperature is still in ambiguity. By using a diode array detector, we measured fluorescence emission spectra corresponding to the minimal (F-O) and maximal (F-M) fluorescence states. We showed that the different shapes of these spectra were mainly due to a higher contribution of PSI chlorophylls in the F-O spectrum. By exciting PSI preferentially, we recorded a reference PSI emission spectrum in the near far-red region. From the F-O and F-M spectra and from this PSI reference spectrum, we derived specific PSI and PSII emission spectra in both the F-O and F-M states. This enables to estimate true value of the relative variable fluorescence of PSII, which was underestimated in previous works. Accurate separation of PSI-PSII fluorescence emission spectra will also enable further investigations of the distribution of excitation energy between PSI and PSII under in vivo conditions.

We have applied the MCS image deconvolution algorithm (Magain et al. 1998) to HST/WFPC2 V, I data of three M 31 bulge globular clusters (G170, G177, and G198) and control fields near each cluster. All three clusters are clearly detected, with an increase in stellar density with decreasing radius from the cluster centers; this is the first time that stars have been resolved in bulge clusters in the inner regions of another galaxy. From the RGB slopes of the clusters and the difference in I magnitude between the HB and the top of the RGB, we conclude that these three clusters all have roughly solar metallicity, in agreement with earlier integrated-light spectroscopic measurements. Our data support a picture whereby the M 31 bulge clusters and field stars were born from the same metal-rich gas, early in the galaxy formation. [less ▲]

Context. About two dozen exo-solar debris systems have been spatially resolved. These debris discs commonly display a variety of structural features such as clumps, rings, belts, excentric distributions and spiral patterns. In most cases, these features are believed to be formed, shaped and maintained by the dynamical influence of planets orbiting the host stars. In very few cases has the presence of the dynamically important planet(s) been inferred from direct observation. Aims. The solar-type star q1 Eri is known to be surrounded by debris, extended on scales of 30”. The star is also known to host at least one planet, albeit on an orbit far too small to make it responsible for structures at distances of tens to hundreds of AU. The aim of the present investigation is twofold: to determine the optical and material properties of the debris and to infer the spatial distribution of the dust, which may hint at the presence of additional planets. Methods. The Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) aboard the Herschel Space Observatory allows imaging observations in the far infrared at unprecedented resolution, i.e. at better than 6” to 12” over the wavelength range of 60 μm to 210 μm. Together with the results from ground-based observations, these spatially resolved data can be modelled to determine the nature of the debris and its evolution more reliably than what would be possible from unresolved data alone. Results. For the first time has the q1 Eri disc been resolved at far infrared wavelengths. The PACS observations at 70 μm, 100 μm and 160 μm reveal an oval image showing a disc-like structure in all bands, the size of which increases with wavelength. Assuming a circular shape yields the inclination of its equatorial plane with respect to that of the sky, i > 53°. The results of image de-convolution indicate that i likely is larger than 63°, where 90° corresponds to an edge-on disc. Conclusions. The observed emission is thermal and optically thin. The resolved data are consistent with debris at temperatures below 30 K at radii larger than 120 AU. From image de-convolution, we find that q1 Eri is surrounded by an about 40 AU wide ring at the radial distance of ~85 AU. This is the first real Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt analogue ever observed.

Internet Coordinate Systems (ICS) provide easy and practical latency predictions in the Internet. However, peer dynamics (i.e, churn), which is an in- herent property of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, affects the accuracy of such sys- tems. This paper addresses the problem of churn in an ICS without landmarks, like Vivaldi. We propose a framework to assess the robustness of such an ICS in the presence of churn, and evaluate two models for handling churn. The key idea is to reactively recover lost neighbours, either by picking new nodes at random, or by selecting a new one among the node’s two-hop neighbours, while maintaining high reliability and low communication overhead. We then show by simulations that our models mitigate the impact of churn, and lead to a good accuracy com- pared to an instance of an ICS running without churn. [less ▲]

En 1981, Benzi et al ont introduit le phénomène de résonance stochastique pour expliquer leurs observations sur les changements climatiques de notre planète. Depuis, ce phénomène a été largement étudié dans toutes sortes de domaines, dont la neurophysiologie. La résonance stochastique est un phénomène qui peut se manifester dans des systèmes non-linéaires, lorsqu'une entrée peut être amplifiée (optimisée) grâce à la présence de bruit dans le système. La présence d'une barrière énergétique, d'un seuil à franchir,… dans le système empêche généralement les signaux de faible amplitude d'être transmis. La présence de bruit permettra d'amplifier l'entrée faible et provoquera des transitions du système. Le signal faible sera alors transmis grâce au bruit. Les neurones étant habituellement représentés par des systèmes à seuils, la théorie de la résonance stochastique a été largement utilisée dans ce contexte. Ce travail pose les bases de la théorie de la résonance stochastique et introduit les principales mesures qui y sont liées, telles que le rapport signal-à-bruit et l'histogramme des intervalles de temps entre transitions. Ces mesures sont illustrées sur différentes sortes de modèles neuronaux, notamment le modèle de FitzHugh-Nagumo. Plusieurs variantes de ce dernier modèle sont introduites, et les différents résultats sont comparés. Dans un deuxième temps, nous étudions l'effet du bruit sur un modèle de Hodgkin et Huxley. Ce modèle a été modifié de façon à prendre en compte l'effet de la concentration intracellulaire en calcium. Il est étudié dans deux cas de figures, notamment grâce à une réduction à deux dimensions permettant l'analyse du plan de phase du modèle réduit. Cette recherche théorique combinée à des simulations numériques permettra d'aboutir à deux hypothèses biologiques, à savoir que les courants potassiques calcium-dépendants présents sur les neurones pourraient jouer le rôle de protecteurs de la dynamique du potentiel de membrane face au bruit et que les variations stochastiques de la concentration en calcium intracellulaire doivent être empêchées par un mécanisme biologique afin d'éviter des irrégularités du rythme d'émission de potentiels d'action.

We consider dynamical tunneling between two symmetry-related regular islands that are separated in phase space by a chaotic sea. Such tunneling processes are dominantly governed by nonlinear resonances, which induce a coupling mechanism between “regular” quantum states within and “chaotic” states outside the islands. By means of a random matrix ansatz for the chaotic part of the Hamiltonian, one can show that the corresponding coupling matrix element directly determines the level splitting between the symmetric and the antisymmetric eigenstates of the pair of islands. We show in detail how this matrix element can be expressed in terms of elementary classical quantities that are associated with the resonance. The validity of this theory is demonstrated with the kicked Harper model. [less ▲]

We present evidence that nonlinear resonances govern the tunneling process between symmetry-related islands of regular motion in mixed regular-chaotic systems. In a similar way as for near-integrable tunneling, such resonances induce couplings between regular states within the islands and states that are supported by the chaotic sea. On the basis of this mechanism, we derive a semiclassical expression for the average tunneling rate, which yields good agreement in comparison with the exact quantum tunneling rates calculated for the kicked rotor and the kicked Harper.
