d’accès : techniques statiques où chaque station bénéficie en permanence d’une partie des ressources ou techniques dynamiques où la bande passante du support est allouée en fonction de l’occupation du réseau ; accès aléatoire, à l’image du protocole CSMA/CD ou accès déterministe comme suivant les méthodes à jeton. Ces différentes techniques permettent d’éviter ou de contrôler les conflits entre stations qui tentent d’émettre en même temps, assurant ainsi le bon fonctionnement du réseau. 4. 3 Déb...

A la différence du pharaon en Egypte, le roi n’est pas exceptionnellement divinisé. Il n’est pas un dieu mais juste un représentant . Le choix du roi est cependant inspiré par les dieux. Il reçoit des dieux le trône, le sceptre, la couronne. A partir de là, la législation est réputée avoir une origine divine . La Mésopotamie a fourni un nombre considérable de documents ; en effet, 400 mille documents juridiques sont conservés à l’heure actuelle dans les musées, et ce sur une périod...

parts of oxygen by weight, which is a ratio of about 1 to 8, regardless of whether the water came from the Mississippi River or the ice of Antarctica. In other words, acompound has a definite, invariable composition, always containing the same elements in the same proportions by weight; this is the law of definite proportions. Many elements combine in more than one ratio, giving different compounds. In addition to forming water, hydrogen and oxygen also form hydrogen peroxide.Hydrogen peroxide h...

Mars - astronomie.
par les Américains en vue de leur retour sur Terre. La capture sur orbite martienne sera d’une extrême complexité car les deux conteneurs, d’une taille inférieure à celled’un ballon de basket, se trouveront sur des orbites aux coordonnées incertaines. D’autres missions identiques sont envisagées par la NASA jusqu’en 2013. Quant au CNES, compte tenu de la puissance disponible sur Ariane 5, il propose d’ajouter un petitmodule de 200 kg à quelques missions commerciales du lanceur. Ces modules prend...

LA MORTE
sombres.Et j'attendis, cramponné au tronc comme un naufragé sur une épave.Quand la nuit fut noire, très noire, je quittai mon refuge et me mis à marcher doucement, à pas lents, à pas sourds,sur cette terre pleine de morts.J'errai longtemps, longtemps, longtemps. Je ne la retrouvais pas. Les bras étendus, les yeux ouverts, heurtant destombes avec mes mains, avec mes pieds, avec mes genoux, avec ma poitrine, avec ma tête elle-même, j'allais sansla trouver. Je touchais, je palpais comme un aveugle...

Les paradis fiscaux
nettoyer l'argent au sens propre du terme. Plus tard, dans les années 1920, une nouvelle génération de paradisfiscaux apparaît: des zones comme les Bahamas, la Suisse ou le Luxembourg commencent à développer deslégislations permettant notamment aux étrangers de venir déposer leurs capitaux pour échapper à l'impôt. Beaucoup de ces territoires, après la seconde guerre mondiale, appartiennent aux «oubliés du Plan Marshall». Pourfinancer leur développement, certains se spécialisent dans le...

mathématiques - mathématiques.
autres problèmes mathématiques célèbres apparaissent au cours de ce siècle : diviser un angle en trois angles égaux et construire un cube dont le volume est le double d’un cube donné. Ces trois problèmes seront résolus à l’aide d’instruments beaucoup plus complexes qu’une règle et un compas. Ce n’est qu’au XIX e siècle que l’on démontrera qu’il est impossible de les résoudre au moyen de ces deux instruments. Dans la seconde moitié du Ve siècle av. J.-C., une découverte dérangeante est faite :...

Immune System.
The humoral immune response involves a complex series of events after antigens enter the body. First, macrophages take up some of the antigen and attach it to classII MHC molecules, which then present the antigen to T helper cells. The T helper cells bind the presented antigen, which stimulates the T helper cells to divide andsecrete stimulatory molecules called interleukins. The interleukins in turn activate any B lymphocytes that have also bound the antigen. The activated B cells then divide...

Read with new eyes, an entirely new level of meaning was uncovered in the ancient texts: they discovered a Confucian foundation for the meditative cultivation of consciousness that had been a particular strength of the Buddhists, and to frame it and provide an account of sagehood equal to Buddhist talk of enlightenment, they found a complete metaphysical system, a Confucian version of the kind of thinking that had been elaborated mainly under Daoist au...

Diving (underwater).
compensator (or control) device (BCD or BC), which the diver wears as a vest. By adding air to the BCD, the diver becomes more buoyant and rises. By releasing air,the diver becomes less buoyant and sinks. With minor adjustments of air, the diver can achieve neutral buoyancy. A third hose attaches to pressure gauges that diversuse to monitor how much air remains in the tank. A fourth hose attaches to a backup breathing device called an alternate air source, or octopus. Divers also wear a belt w...

Reconstruction (U.
Instead, Congress began a lengthy debate over Reconstruction policy.

Still, fueled by anger at the president's refusal to compromise and at the appearanceof former Confederates returning to power throughout the South, members of Congress moved increasingly toward the Radicals.

Slavery in the United States - U.

Natural population growth also hastened the transition from an African to an African American slave population. By the 1770s, only about 20 percent of slaves in thecolonies were African-born, although the concentration of Africans remained higher in South Carolina and Georgia. After 1808 the proportion of African-born slavesbecame tin...

B Volcanic Features Maria, domes, rilles, and a few craters display indisputable characteristics of volcanic origin. Maria are plains of dark-colored rock that cover approximately 40 percent ofthe Moon's visible hemisphere. The maria formed when molten rock erupted onto the surface and solidified between 3.16 billion and 3.96 billion years ago. This rockresembles terrestrial basalt, a volcanic rock type widely distributed on Earth, but the rock that formed the maria has a higher iron content an...

The Czech Republic produces most of its energy by burning domestic coal.

The formula H 2 describes a hydrogen molecule, a discrete unit. When a molecule contains just two atoms, such as the hydrogen molecule does, it is called a diatomic molecule. Some atoms can form covalent bonds with more than one other atom and thus create a larger molecule. Atoms form molecules with covalent bo...

2 Il y a un million d’années, l’ Homo erectus avait déjà atteint les franges situées les plus à l’est du continent asiatique. Par la suite, en se déplaçant vers des latitudes plus septentrionales, il parvint à coloniser également une bonne partie des territoires de l’Europe méditerranéenne et continentale. Par suite de cette vaste diffusion, les populations humaines, dispersées géographiquement et souvent isolées, protégées par des micro-milieux déjà partiellement artificiels, se différencière...

Television.
A charge-coupled device (CCD) can be much smaller than a camera tube and is much more durable. As a result, cameras with CCDs are more compact and portablethan those using a camera tube. The image they create is less vulnerable to distortion and is therefore clearer. In a CCD, the light from a scene strikes an array ofphotodiodes arranged on a silicon chip. Photodiodes are devices that conduct electricity when they are struck by light; they send this electricity to tiny capacitors. Thecapacitors...
