Sect 2. 317 tinuity surfaces 1. This suggests that a wake pressure Pw be associated with each flow past a bluff body, and that a wake parameter (2. 4) which plays the same role as the cavitation parameter (2. 1), be defined for the flow. This idea has been made the basis of a modified wake theory (ef. Sect. 11) which proves to be in good qu- titative agreement with pressure and drag measurements. It should be emphasized, however, that un­ h like the cavitation number, the wake parameter is a quantity which is not known a priori, and must be empirically determined in each case. (3) Jet flows. The problem of jet efflux from an orifice is one of the oldest in hydrodynamics and the first to be treated by Fig. 3a. the HELMHOLTZ free streamline theory. Of particular importance for engineering applications is the discharge coefficient Cd' which is defined in terms of the discharge Q per unit time, the pressure P, and the cross-sectional area A of the orifice, by the formula, (2. 5) where e is the fluid density. Two methods of measuring Cd have been most fre­ quently adopted. In the first the liquid issues from an orifice in a large vessel under the influence of gravity _,-____________ . , (Fig. 3 a), while in the second it 1 L is forced out of a nozzle or pipe under high pressure (Fig. 3 b).

Fortschritte der Chemie Organischer Naturstoffe/Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products/Progres dans la Chimie des Substances Organiques Naturelŀes (Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products #12)

Substances belonging to this group of organic compounds are wi,lely distributed in Nature, being found in plants, both higher and lower fungi and, upto the present time, in one animal source, sheep wool-fat. For a long­ time no real differentiation was possible between the tetra- and penta­ cyclic triterpenes and the sterols. Then the two latter became disting­ uishable by their selenium. ·dehydrogenation products, i. e. , picene and naphthalene derivatives from the pentacyclic triterpenes and DIELS' hydrocarbon from the sterols. It is now apparent that those compounds yielding predominantly I: 2: 8-trimethylphenanthrene on dehydro­ genation represent yet another class, and this property is regarded as typical of the tetracyclic triterpenes. The group contains both C and C 30 3l compounds and, although the latter fall outside RUZICKA'S strict definition of triterpenes (I42), it seems desirable to permit this deviation. Members with thirty-two carbon atoms may well be discovered in due course. In a most· valuable account of the triterpenes written in I949, JEGER. (II3) was able to summarize all that was known about the tetra­ cyclic group in a very small compass. Most of the work discussed in the present article has been published during the last five years and in that time the structures of some twenty compounds have been elucidated. Of outstanding importance is the revelation of close structural relation­ ships tQ the steroids, and the presence of C and C side-chains, skeletally 8 9 identical with those of cholesterol and ergosterol.

Fractures du genou (Approche pratique en orthopédie-traumatologie)

L'ambition de cet ouvrage est de faire un bilan complet mais pratique de la prise en charge des fractures du genou et de leurs complications. L'équipe rédactionnelle regroupe des spécialistes français, suisses, belges, américains et irlandais, dont beaucoup participent au groupe AO. La stratégie d'imagerie, le bilan, la classification, les variétés anatomiques sont passés en revue pour chaque localisation anatomique. Dans la prise en charge thérapeutique, toutes les modalités sont développées sans exclusive: les implants classiques, les enclouages, les techniques mini-invasives y compris la place du fixateur externe et des nouveautés dont le LISS. Elles sont soumises à une analyse critique pour essayer de dégager les meilleures options en fonction des indications et des situations. L'appareil rotulien a été abordé dans son unité fonctionnelle. La prise en charge postopératoire, marquée par le pronostic fonctionnel, n’a pas été négligée, de même que la gestion des cals vicieux, des raideurs et autres complications. Enfin, sont évoqués des problèmes très spécifiques comme les lésions pédiatriques, les patellectomies, les fractures péri-prothétiques, les lésions projectilaires souvent complexes, la place de l'arthroplastie immédiate et des greffes massives, mais aussi les lésions associées qui retentissent parfois lourdement sur le pronostic final.

Françoise de Graffigny: Her Life and Works (Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment #2004:11)

The story of Françoise de Graffigny’s life reads like a novel. Following a disastrous marriage, she was forced by political upheavals to leave her native Lorraine and move to Paris, where she struggled to survive against poverty and persecution. Here she made her way into the heart of literary society in the heyday of the Enlightenment, wrote a novel – the Lettres d’une Péruvienne (1747) – that made her an international celebrity, wrote a play – Cénie (1750) – that ranked among the ten most successful new plays of the century, and became a noted salon hostess. Yet fifty years after her death she was almost forgotten, and has been rediscovered only in the last few decades. Now her novel is widely read once more, and studied as a masterpiece. At the same time, a vast collection of her letters and papers emerged, and scholars have used the ongoing edition of her Correspondance to shed important light on a long list of noted figures, such as Choiseul, Crébillon fils, Duclos, Helvétius, Palissot, Prévost, Rousseau, and Voltaire.This biography draws on those letters, including the hundreds not yet published, and on the editorial team’s highly praised research, to provide the first biography in ninety years of this phenomenal woman. It provides new material on all aspects of her life, from her intimate feelings to the composition and publication of her literary works. It is by far the most complete and accurate account of Mme de Graffigny’s life and times.

Françoise de Graffigny, femme de lettres: Ecriture et reception (Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment #2004:12)

Françoise de Graffigny est une femme de lettres paradoxale; elle avoue craindre ‘le nom d’auteur’, mais ses écrits font preuve d’une originalité hardie. Pour la première fois la grande diversité de son œuvre fait ici l’objet d’un examen: sa correspondance, qui mêle des observations pénétrantes sur son époque à des réflexions franches sur les diverses facettes de sa vie de provinciale dépaysée, de salonnière célèbre, d’écrivain novateur, et de femme – en toutes lettres; son drame sentimental, Cénie, et autres pièces morales ou philosophiques; ses premiers contes; et ses Lettres d’une Péruvienne, que l’on s’arrache au dix-huitième siècle, devenu roman iconique des dernières décennies. La femme et l’oeuvre déroutent, pourtant, comme elles fascinent. Françoise de Graffigny inspire le respect, l’amour aussi parfois, chez ses amis et les habitués de son salon; les Lettres d’une Péruvienne et Cénie sont lus, commentés et maintes fois traduits partout en Europe. Mais au moyen de réécritures, de traductions ou de comptes rendus, on tente néanmoins de récupérer une oeuvre qui, s’attaquant aux conventions, déstabilise, pour la reporter dans des catégories familières. A travers une panoplie de réactions, nous découvrons l’image que l’on s’est faite de cette femme écrivain, domestiquée en fonction des goûts de son époque.L’image de l’écrivain qui émerge de ce volume n’est pas unifiée; elle ne se cantonne pas à celle, métaphorique, de l’auteur sentimental, ou féministe. Diverses approches critiques – comparatistes et narratologiques, biographiques et bibliographiques – nous font voir la richesse d’une oeuvre polyvalente située aux frontières du vécu et de l’imaginaire, du public et du privé, du traditionnel et de l’expérimental. Françoise de Graffigny résiste à toute interprétation réductrice, idéologique, au vingt-et-unième siècle comme au dix-huitième. Elle est une femme de lettres exceptionnelle, insaisissable, soit irrésistible.

Francophone Postcolonial Studies: A critical introduction

This landmark text constitutes the first comprehensive overview of Francophone Postcolonial Studies. Moving away from reductive geographical or linguistic surveys of the Francophone world, this collection of original essays provides a thematic discussion of the complex historical, political and cultural links between France and its former colonies. Providing a theoretical framework for postcolonial criticism of the field, it also aims to trigger a genuine dialogue between Francophone and Anglophone scholars of postcolonialism.Part I provides a historical overview, from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, addressing issues of colonialism, slavery and exoticism. Part II looks at language issues and discusses France's belief in the universality of its language and culture and the postcolonial challenges to that view. Part III discusses issues of diversity and multiculturalism in contemporary Francophone cultures. Part IV concludes with an analysis of the French-language contribution to postcolonialism as well as an examination of Francophone postcolonial thought and culture in the principal areas of the French-speaking world.Edited by two of the up-and-coming names in Francophone Postcolonial Studies, the collection includes contributions from an international team including some of the world's leading scholars in the field.
