Le christianisme laïc de Pierre Bayle by Hooks, JM

“…Cet article soutient que la théorie de la tolérance de Bayle jette les bases de la laïcité au sein d'un état chrétien. Dans la première partie, je définirai la laïcité à l'aide de Charles Taylor qui distingue entre deux types de laïcité, soit le « secularism A » qui cherche à atteindre une neutralité en limitant l'expression religieuse en public, et le « secularism B » qui protège une diversité des religions de manière équitable dans l’espace public. …”

Optimization and scheduling for a large-scale urban transportation system involving human factors by Zhang, Yi

“…By considering drivers' psychological response to traffic signal states, a network-based vehicle flow model is adopted. Both pedestrian performance and vehicle performance are integrated together via the weighted sum method, which could be translated into monetary values for economic considerations or delay costs for efficiency evaluation. …”

Structural and mechanistic insights into the Rel protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Singal, Bharti

“…The structure of the MtRel TGS determined by NMR spectroscopy and titration with deacylated tRNA answered the long- argued question about interaction of the TGS domain to deacylated tRNA in the absence of ribosomal machinery using biophysical methods. The titration-based mapping of residues involved in tRNA binding were identified and compared with the homologs of different species. …”

Extracellular nucleic acids in monochloraminated drinking water distribution systems by Bairoliya, Sakcham

“…Overall, this thesis work reports for the first time the persistence of a substantial amount of eNAC in DWDS and reveals the influence of eNAC on the sequencing-based profiling of DWDS microbiome. The presence of eNAC, in particular, the persistence of eRNA in DWDS, reported in this thesis work may lead to intriguing research questions regarding the fate and implication of eNAC in DWDS.…”
