A sesquiterpene hydroquinone, Aureol (6), was isolated from extracts of Taiwanese Smenospongia sp. collected at Green Island in Taiwen. 6 was acylated to yield a series of derivatives and their structures were identified as O-Methylaureol (40)¡BAureol acetate (7)¡BAureol N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate (41)¡BO-Benzoyl-aureol (43)¡BO-4-Chlorobenzoyl-aureol (44)¡BO-4-Flurobenzoyl-aureol (45)¡BO-Nicotinoyl-aureol (46)¡BO-4-Methylbenzoyl-aureol (47) ¡BO-2-Thienylcarbonyl-aureol(48) ¡BO-2-Furoylcarbonyl-aureol (49) on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR techniques, including 1H-NMR¡B13C-NMR ¡BCOSY¡BHMQC¡BHMBC experiments. Preliminary pharmacological study revealed that some of the compounds possessed significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cells (Hepa59T/VGH¡BHela¡BKB). Kadsura philippinensis Elmer is medicinal plant which is rich in C18 type dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans. kadsuphilin A (50)¡B kadsuphilin B (51)¡B kadsuphilin C (52)¡B kadsuphilin D (53)¡B kadsurin (54)¡B kadsulignan D (55)¡Bkadsulignan K (56)¡Bbinankadsyrin A (57) ¡Bangeloyl-binankadsurin A (58) ¡Bkadsumarin A (59)¡Bschizanrin F (60) ¡Bschizanrin J (61) isolated from the lipophilic extract of aerial part of Kadsura philippinensis collected at Green Island in Taiwen. It is the first time to isolate Kadsuphilins A-D (50, 51, 52, 53). Kadsulignan D (55) and Kadsulignan K (56) were confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The structures of new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques including COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY experiments. Preliminary pharmacological study revealed that some of the compounds possessed significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cells.

This thesis is dedicated to the usage of Finite element method for the purpose of modeling heat transfer within an object. The introduction describes the origin, application and principle of FEM. Then follows the description of ElmerFEM as the main tool for the calculation of heat transfer in a model. The work also includes a characterization of the tool for making and preparation of models Gmsh and another application for displaying results ParaView. Thesis then focuses on the analysis of the model preparation and the effect of these preparations on accuracy and calculation period. Lastly, results are displayed as well as the identification of problematic parts of the solution and finally some possibilities of scripting are showed.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a forma épica na peça We, the People, escrita pelo dramaturgo norte-americano Elmer Rice [1892-1967]. Essa peça, composta por vinte cenas e mais de quarenta personagens, foi escrita em 1932 e encenada em 1933, nos Estados Unidos, dentro de um dos períodos mais conturbados da história norte-americana: a Grande Depressão [1929 até o final dos anos 1930]. Pretende-se analisar a esfera formal de We, the People, dedicando particular atenção aos recursos empregados para a representação de questões sócio-históricas. Considerando-se que essas questões não são representáveis enquanto tais por meio da estrutura dramática convencional, e que pertencem ao âmbito formal do épico, o trabalho tratará de examinar e discutir o uso de recursos épicos de concepção dramatúrgica e seus efeitos dentro da peça. / This work aims at analyzing the epic form in the play We, the People written by the American playwright Elmer Rice [1892-1967]. This play is composed of twenty scenes and more than forty characters; it was written in 1932 and presented in 1933 in the United States of America during one of the most troubled period of the American history: the Great Depression [1929 end of the 1930s]. We intend to analyze the formal aspects of We, the People focusing mostly on the expedients used to represent socio-historical issues. Considering that these issues cannot be represented by using the conventional dramatic structure and that they belong to the epic form, this work will examine and debate the use of epic theater expedients and its effects in the play.

Les glaces de l'Antarctique constituent un matériau d'archivage unique pour garder la trace de l'atmosphère du passé. La plus ancienne archive glaciaire disponible (800 ka) ne permet malheureusement pas d'étudier une transition climatique majeure qui s'est déroulé entre 1.2 Ma et 0.9 Ma (transition du mi-Pleistocène). Localiser un site ayant permis la conservation d'une glace aussi ancienne est donc un enjeu majeur au sein de la communauté des carottes de glace. Plusieurs régions autour du Dôme C présentent de bonnes caractéristiques d'un point de vue thermique et mécanique. Le but de ces travaux est d'identifier précisément des sites propices à un archivage de long terme, en utilisant différents modèles successifs. D'abord un modèle thermique 1D, qui permet de calculer le flux géothermique local, et d'affirmer que les hauteurs du socle sont exemptes de fusion depuis au moins 800 ka. Ensuite un modèle 3D d'écoulement, qui permet la description des trajectoires des particules de glace depuis la surface jusqu'au socle. Pour minimiser les perturbations stratigraphiques, il conviendra de placer le site de forage proche de la crête, et pour assurer une résolution suffisante le site ne devra pas se trouver à l'aplomb du sommet du relief basal, mais sur son flanc. Enfin, on utilise un modèle de datation 1D contraints par les isochrones, pour connaître la distribution des âges basaux et résolutions compatibles avec les isochrones observées, et estimer les risques de succès ou d'échec du forage. On propose deux sites de forage distants de 37 km de Dôme C, pour lesquels la présence de glace exploitable de 1.5 Ma et d'une résolution suffisante est hautement probable. / Antarctic ice is an exceptional archive of ancient atmospheric air. The oldest available ice archive (800 ka) is not old enough to study a main climatic transition that occurred between 1.2 Ma and 0.9 Ma (mid-Pleistocene transition). Locating a future old-ice drill site is now one of the main goal of the ice-core community. In the region of Dome C, several old-ice targets have required characteristics, from a thermal and mechanical point of view, to hosts very old ice. The goal of this work is to precisely locate suitable coring sites, using several glaciological models. First a 1D heat model to compute the local geothermal flux, that make us confident in the fact that bedrock heights have been free of basal melting for at least the last 800 ka. It is very likely that such sites are able to host a 1.5 Ma ice archive. Second, a 3D ice flow model, to describe the ice trajectories from the ice surface to the bed. Drilling less than 10 km from the surface ridge mimimizes the risks of stratigraphic disturbance, and drilling on the flanks of the bed relief - and not on its top - is mandatory to ensure a sufficient age resolution. Third, a 1D dating model constrained by isochrones let us describe the distribution of basal ages and age resolutions compatible with observed isochrones, and assess the risk of success or failure of the drilling. With currently available data and modelling tools, two drilling sites are proposed that are located 37 km from Dome C, at which 1.5 Ma-old ice is very likely to be archived in required conditions and with sufficient resolution.

This study compares Elmer Gantry and The God-Seeker. Part one shows the preparations of the two novels. Part two discusses the critical receptions of the two novels. The material is gathered from books and publications.The comparison also includes a study of the two novels themselves. Using critical comment as a basis, the paper compares the structure and use of setting, character, plot, style and techniques within the two novels.
