This research attempts to find out the possible reasons which affect to the polling supports of pan-blue and pan-green¡¦s presidential candidates by first-order autoregressive model since May 20th 2000 to March 22nd 2008. We explore the effect of these factors and how the factors to affect the degree of both candidates¡¦ supports. We try to explain the fluctuating of both sides¡¦ degree. To exploring the change of the polling supports and degree, this research collects many significant events during the said period. We view the degree of each category¡¦s effect by sorting out government¡¦s policy, economy, ideologies of independence and unification, the personal issues of candidates, parties¡¦ issue and others to explain the reasons of polling supports¡¦ change in addition I add the effect of media organ, candidates nominating or not, the difference of each election, and the time effect. From the results of this research, the effect of media positions for polling outcomes is not significant, but the candidates nominating or not and the difference of each election affect to pan-blue¡¦s supports and both sides¡¦ degree. Besides, the issue of ideologies of independence and unification influences to pan-blue and pan-green¡¦s candidates, but the candidates personal issues affects the change of the both sides¡¦ degree. When the events of government policy and ideologies of independence and unification are happened more nearly at the polling time, the effect to the change of the polling supports will be greater.

The Viola Concerto by Hwang-Long Pan (b. 1945) is a transcription of the composer's Cello Concerto (1996/1997) created at the request of the author in 2007 in order to enrich the concert repertory for solo viola, and to promote the music of one of China's most distinguished modern composers. In his musical compositions, Pan translates ideas from Chinese music, philosophy, literature and art into contemporary sound imagery. This composition technique is what he refers to as yīn xiăng yì jìng [音響意境] in Chinese, which literally means "Sonic Imagery." This document examines Pan's Cello Concerto (1996/1997), making use of the composer's sketches, interviews and other scholarship, to illustrate how the composer blends Western instrumentation and formal structure with elements of traditional Chinese music and philosophy. The analysis reveals how Pan uses modern European compositional techniques such as symmetrical pitch structure, arch forms, and avant-garde performance practices in the Concerto. The author also discusses performance techniques required of the solo violist and other orchestral instruments in order perform the style of Chinese heterophonic music evoked in the Concerto and to realize the ornaments and special performance effects that Pan borrows from traditional Chinese instruments, such as the lute-like pipa.

Les méthodes standard de pansharpening visent à fusionner une image panchromatique avec une image multispectrale afin de générer une image possédant la haute résolution spatiale de la première et la haute résolution spectrale de la dernière. Durant la dernière décennie, beaucoup de méthodes de pansharpening utilisant des images multispectrales furent créées. Avec la disponibilité croissante d’images hyperspectrales, ces méthodes s’étendent maintenant au pansharpening hyperspectral, c’est-à-dire à la fusion d’une image panchromatique possédant une très bonne résolution spatiale avec une image hyperspectrale possédant une résolution spatiale plus faible. Toutefois les méthodes de pansharpening hyperspectrale issues de l’état de l’art ignorent souvent le problème des pixels mixtes. Le but de ses méthodes est de préserver l’information spectrale tout en améliorant l’information spatiale. Dans cette thèse, dans une première partie, nous présentons et analysons les méthodes de l’état de l’art afin de les analyser pour connaitre leurs performances et leurs limitations. Dans une seconde partie, nous présentons une approche qui s’occupe du cas des pixels mixtes en intégrant une étape pré-fusion pour les démélanger. Cette méthode améliore les résultats en ajoutant de l’information spectrale qui n’est pas présente dans l’image hyperspectrale à cause des pixels mixtes. Les performances de notre méthode sont évaluées sur différents jeux de données possédant des résolutions spatiales et spectrales différentes correspondant à des environnements différents. Notre méthode sera évaluée en comparaison avec les méthodes de l’état de l’art à une échelle globale et locale. / Standard pansharpening aims at fusing a panchromatic image with a multispectral image in order to synthesize an image with the high spatial resolution of the former and the spectral resolution of the latter. In the last decade many pansharpening algorithms have been presented in the literature using multispectral data. With the increasing availability of hyperspectral systems, these methods are now extending to hyperspectral pansharpening, i.e. the fusion of a panchromatic image with a high spatial resolution and a hyperspectral image with a coarser spatial resolution. However, state of the art hyperspectral pansharpening methods usually do not consider the problem of the mixed pixels. Their goal is solely to preserve the spectral information while adding spatial information. In this thesis, in a first part, we present the state-of-the-art methods and analysed them to identified there performances and limitations. In a second part, we present an approach to actually deal with mixed pixels as a pre-processing step before performing the fusion. This improves the result by adding missing spectral information that is not directly available in the hyperspectral image because of the mixed pixels. The performances of our proposed approach are assessed on different real data sets, with different spectral and spatial resolutions and corresponding to different contexts. They are compared qualitatively and quantitatively with state of the art methods, both at a global and a local scale.

La dégradation intracellulaire des protéines est un processus fondamental qui a lieu dans tous les organismes, depuis les bactéries jusqu’aux êtres humains. La dégradation continuelle des protéines est nécessaire pour réguler les concentrations intracellulaires d’enzymes qui contrôlent toutes les réactions métaboliques, ainsi que le contenu général de toutes les autres protéines, en réponse aux modifications physiologiques. Un état d’équilibre dynamique se crée ainsi où la concentration intracellulaire d’une protéine peut être modulée aussi par des modifications de la vitesse de dégradation et de la vitesse de synthèse. Le travail présenté dans cette thèse porte sur le complexe d’activation du protéasome des cellules d’archaea (PAN). PAN est un complexe hexamerique énergie-dépendant découvert chez les archaeas et impliqué dans le dépliement des protéines substrat pour faciliter leur dégradation par le protéasome 20S. Toutes les études structurales du complexe PAN assemblé n’ont pas réussi à révéler la structure de la protéine à cause des difficultés rencontrées au niveau de la préparation et la stabilité des échantillons. La première partie du travail présenté a permis de déterminer une structure par Cryo-microscopie électronique et un modèle pseudo-atomique du complexe PAN hexamerique de Pyrococcus horikoshii. De plus, l’étude des différents états conformationnels du complexe induits par liaison du nucléotide ont permis de gagner plusieurs informations sur le mécanisme des unfoldases AAA+ et de proposer un mode d’action du complexe PAN. La seconde partie de l’étude a conduit à élucider la question sur la dynamique et les changements conformationnels des systèmes AAA+ unfoldases en général et du complexe PAN en particulier pendant le dépliement des protéines substrats. La méthode de variation de contraste en diffusion de neutrons aux petits angles (SANS) couplée avec de la spectroscopie de fluorescence appliqué à l’étude en temps réel du processus de dépliement de substrat par le système PAN de Methanococcus jannaschii a permis de révéler, pour la première fois, des mouvements de contraction de PAN pendant le dépliement du substrat induits par l’hydrolyse de l’ATP et suivis par une relaxation de la molécule à la fin du processus. Le mécanisme de dépliement par PAN semble être un mouvement de pompage péristaltique qui entraine un dépliement directionnel du substrat. L’ensemble de ce travail contribue à mieux comprendre la structure et le mécanisme d’action de la machine PAN dans les cellules et d’avoir une idée plus claire sur la dynamique fonctionnelle des complexes AAA+ à l’origine de leurs fonctions biologiques. / Intracellular protein degradation is a fundamental process occurring in all organisms, from bacteria to human. The continual degradation of proteins is necessary for regulating the intracellular levels of enzymes that control all metabolic reactions, as well as the general content of all other proteins, in response to physiological changes. A state of a dynamic equilibrium is created where the intracellular concentration of a protein can be modulated by changes in the synthesis rate as well as the degradation rate. The work presented in this thesis deals with the proteasome activating complex from archaeal cells (PAN). PAN is an energy dependent hexameric complex discovered in archaea and involved in the unfolding of protein substrates to facilitate their degradation by the 20S proteasome. All the previous structural studies on the assembled PAN complex have failed in revealing the structure of the whole complex because of the difficulties encountered during sample preparation and stabilization. In the first part of this work we determined a Cryo-electron microscopy structure and a pseudo-atomic model of the hexameric PAN complex from Pyrococcus horikoshii. In addition, the study of the different conformational states of the PAN complex induced by nucleotide binding helped in gaining several information about the AAA+ unfoldases mechanism and to propose a mode of action of the PAN complex. The second part of the study led to elucidate the question about the dynamic and the conformational changes of the AAA+ unfoldases in general and the PAN complex in particular. The method of contrast variation in Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) coupled with online fluorescence spectroscopy applied to study, in real-time, the substrate unfolding process by the PAN complex from Methanococcus jannaschii allowed to reveal, for the first time, a contraction movements of PAN during substrate unfolding induced by ATP hydrolysis and followed by a relaxation of the molecule at the end of the process. The unfolding mechanism processed by PAN appears to be a peristaltic pumping motion that leads to a directional unfolding of the substrate. The whole work presented in this thesis contributes in understanding the structure and the mechanism of action of the PAN molecular machine inside the cells and to have a clearer idea about the functional dynamics of the AAA+ complexes at the origin of their biological functions.
