Cet article de Gérald Fortin et Émile Gosselin et celui de M.-Adélard Tremblay qui le suit rendent compte de recherches poursuivies par un groupe de professeurs de la Faculté des Sciences sociales de Laval, La "Québec Forest Industries Association Limited" en a assumé les frais en collaboration avec le Centre de recherches de la Faculté des Sciences sociales, grâce à une subvention de la Fondation Carnegie, de New York. L'équipe des chercheurs comprenait : Émile Gosselin, directeur, Gérald Fortin, M.-Adélard Tremblay et Charles Lemelin. Cette étude a déjà donné lieu à un rapport confidentiel (Factors affecting the stability of the forest labour force) dont s'inspirent partiellement les deux articles qui suivent. Analysant les transformations du travail en forêt, Gérald Fortin et Émile Gosselin éclairent, ici, une dimension fondamentale des changements structurels que subissent actuellement nos localités rurales.

The Stability

AbstractUniqueness of parabolic Cauchy problems is nowadays a classical problem and since Hadamard [Lectures on Cauchy’s Problem in Linear Partial Differential Equations, Dover, New York, 1953], these kind of problems are known to be ill-posed and even severely ill-posed. Until now, there are only few partial results concerning the quantification of the stability of parabolic Cauchy problems. We bring in the present work an answer to this issue for smooth solutions under the minimal condition that the domain is Lipschitz.

Abstract Effective separation of water and oil dispersions is considered a critical step in the determination of technical and economic success in the petroleum industry over the years. Moreover, a deeper understanding of the emulsification process and different affected parameters is essential for cost-effective oil production, transportation, and downstream processing. Numerous studies conducted on the concept of dispersion characterization indicate the importance of this concept, which deserves attention by the scientific community. Therefore, a comprehensive review study with critical analysis on significant concepts will help readers follow them easily. This study is a comprehensive review of the concept of dispersion characterization and conducted studies recently published. The main purposes of this review are to 1) Highlight flaws, 2) Outline gaps and weaknesses, 3) Address conflicts, 4) Prevent duplication of effort, 5) List factors affecting dispersion. It was found that the separation efficiency and stability of dispersions are affected by different chemical and physical factors. Factors affecting the stability of the emulsions have been studied in detail and will help to look for the right action to ensure stable emulsions. In addition, methods of ensuring stability, especially coalescence are highlighted, and coalescence mathematical explanations of phenomena are presented.

The protein folded state is the result of the fine balance of a variety of different forces. Even minor structural perturbations may have a significant impact on the stability of these macromolecules. Studies carried out in recent decades have led to the convergent view that proteins are endowed with a flexible spine. One of the open issues related to protein local backbone geometry is the identification of the factors that influence the amplitude of the τ (N—Cα—C) angle. Here, statistical analyses performed on an updated ensemble of X-ray protein structures by dissecting the contribution of the major factors that can potentially influence the local backbone geometry of proteins are reported. The data clearly indicate that the local backbone conformation has a prominent impact on the modulation of the τ angle. Therefore, a proper assessment of the impact of the other potential factors can only be appropriately evaluated when small (φ, ψ) regions are considered. Here, it is shown that when the contribution of the backbone conformation is removed by considering small (φ, ψ) areas, an impact of secondary structure, as defined byDSSP, and/or the residue type on τ is still detectable, although to a limited extent. Indeed, distinct τ-value distributions are detected for Pro/Gly and β-branched (Ile/Val) residues. The key role of the local backbone conformation highlighted here supports the use of variable local backbone geometry in protein refinement protocols.
