• Anatomy.

  The body defends itself against foreign proteins and infectious microorganisms by means of a complex dual system that depends on recognizing a portion of the surfacepattern of the invader.

When particular lymphocytes recognize a foreign molecular pattern (termed an antigen), they release antibodies in great numbers; other lymphocy...

  - Sur le plan biologique, il existe quatre types de comportements fondamentaux : - deux sont innés : - comportements de consommation : boire, manger, copuler; ils répondent à un stimulus interne. - comportements de lutte ou de fuite : ils répondent à un stimulus externe. - deux sont acquis : - l'un est celui de l'action récompensée ou permettant d'éviter la punition et capable de renforcement....

• plan détaillé philo peut-on rater sa vie?

  Lorsque on s’interroge sur le sens de la vie et sur ce qui rend valable l’existence entière, tous semblent être en accord que le bonheur est central parmi les idées qui viennent spontanément à l’esprit. Le bonheur semble donc être la condition pour une vie réussie. Tout de même, le bonheur n’est rien d’évident et quand on pose la question du sens du bonheur et de sa définition, tout le monde n’est pas tout à fait en accord. En effet, le bonheur semble être d’ordre subjectif, une forme de...

• Macroeconomics.

  IV INFLATION For several decades after World War II (1939-1945) the main inflation theories were demand-pull and cost-push. The cost-push theory basically emphasized the role ofexcessive increases in wages relative to productivity increases as a cause of inflation, whereas the demand-pull theory tended to attribute inflation more to excessdemand in the goods market caused by expansion of the money supply. A central concept in inflationary theory since the mid-1950s has been the Phillips curve...

• LE JOUJOU DU PAUVRE DE BAUDELAIRE - Extrait d'un des Petits poèmes en prose N° XIX

  et la tournure de mise en relief : « …et voici ce qu'il regardait ! ».Ce spectacle suscite l'intérêt de l'enfant riche(ligne 14) qui de ce fait délaisse son « joujou préféré». Curieusement, loin de répondre à l'intérêt de l'enfant, ladescription est a priori péjorative : le pauvre et son univers sont décrits de manière dévalorisante : la saleté, lafragilité et la marginalité sont portées par les détails physiques « sale, chétif, fuligineux (cad couvert de suie)=l'enfant pourrait représenter les...

• Le sang, « vie de la chair », a été de tout temps chargé de symbolisme et, considéré comme sacré, s'est longtemps trouvé au centre de pratiques religieuses ou ésotériques.

  la vésicule ombilicale, le foie, la rate, le thymus, les ganglions lymphatiques et la moelle osseuse. Chez l'adulte, on assiste à une spécialisation : la moelle osseuse rouge des épiphyses proximales (humérus, fémur, sternum, côtes, vertèbres, bassin, tissu lymphoïde) assure la production de la lignée sanguine. Les globules rouges, certains globules blancs (les granulocytes : neutrophiles, éosinophiles, basophiles) et les plaquettes sanguines sont produits dans la moelle osseuse rouge. D'autres...

• AILLAUD Gilles : Les Rats

  AILLAUD Gilles Les Rats Né à Paris, 1928 La peinture de Gilles Aillaud représente sys­ tématiquement des animaux dressés, en cage. Comme de nombreux peintres de sa génération, il travaille d'après des photos prises sur le vif dont il retranscrit l'anecdote sur la toile par des procédés illusionnistes empruntés aux tech­ niques d'illustration publicitaire. Ces images qui relèvent d'une pratique presque maniaque sont immédiates et familièr...

  Qu’y a-t-il de plus fascinant et de plus inquiétant que des ruines récentes qui furent des demeures qu’on avait connues au temps où la vallée vivait au rythme des saisons du labeur des hommes qui ne négligeaient pas la moindre parcelle de terre pour assurer leur subsistance? Ces maisons de pierre sèche, bâties sur le flanc du roc à quelques mètres seulement au-dessus de la vallée, ne sont plus qu’un triste amas de décombres, domaine incontesté des reptiles, des arachnides,...

• Uzbekistan - country.

  E Environmental Issues The evaporation of the Aral Sea is one of the worst ecological disasters in the world. The Aral has shrunk so much that it now holds only about one-fifth the volume ofwater it held in 1960. The shrinkage is due to irrigation withdrawals from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, a practice that began on a massive scale in the early 1960s aspart of the Soviet Union’s ill-conceived drive to increase cotton yields in Central Asia. Growing cotton in the naturally arid and saline soil...

• Stress (psychology).

  blood flow is diverted from the internal organs and skin to the brain and muscles. Breathing speeds up, the pupils dilate, and perspiration increases. This reaction issometimes called the fight-or-flight response because it energizes the body to either confront or flee from a threat. Another part of the stress response involves the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, parts of the brain that are important in regulating hormones and many otherbodily functions. In times of stress, the hypothal...

• La victoire Quelque temps plus tard, une nuit de pleine lune, Marie fut réveillée par un bruit qui semblait provenir d'un coin de la chambre.

  Dès que Marie se trouva seule au salon, elle se dirigea vers l'armoire aux jouets en sanglotant. Tout en pleurant et se lamentant, Marie remarqua une grosse tache de sang qui était restée au cou du Casse-Noisette depuis la fameuse nuit. Maintenant qu'elle savait que son cher Casse-Noisette était en réalité le jeune Drosselmeier, le neveu du juge, elle ne le prenait plus dans ses bras pour l'embrasser et le cajoler. A vrai dire, elle n'osait plus le toucher du tout. Mais cette fois, elle le sor...

• Election.

  majority systems usually reduce the number of competitive political parties—for example, the mostly two-party system in the United States. Proportional representation systems boost participation by increasing the value of a vote to smaller or more marginal portions of a national population. In the UnitedStates, plurality or majority systems have reduced the incentive to vote of citizens who do not identify closely with the Democratic or Republican Party. Disillusionmentwith the major parties and...

• Radioactivity I INTRODUCTION Marie Curie Working with her husband, Pierre Curie, French physicist Marie Curie discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium in 1898.

  Rutherford when he allowed an alpha-emitting substance to decay near an evacuated thin-glass vessel. The alpha particles were able to penetrate the glass and werethen trapped in the vessel, and within a few days the presence of elemental helium was demonstrated by use of a spectroscope. Beta particles were subsequentlyshown to be electrons, and gamma rays to consist of electromagnetic radiation of the same nature as X rays but of considerably greater energy.

  Malthus, nature's check was “positive”: “The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must insome shape or other visit the human race.” The shapes it took included war, epidemics, pestilence and plague, human vices, and famine, all combining to level theworld's population with the world's food supply. The only escape from population pressure and the horrors of the positive check was in voluntary limitation of population, no...
