L’objectif de ce mémoire est une analyse du conte de Maupassant, La Maison Tellier, basée sur les principes de la critique littéraire féministe psychanalytique. Après avoir revisité l'histoire de la critique littéraire féministe et les différents courants philosophiques et politiques qui ont influencé la pensée féministe en général et, en particulier, la critique littéraire, nous avons défini notre approche critique qui est basée sur la théorie psychanalytique lacanienne du développement du sujet et sa révision féministe réalisée par Luce Irigaray. Plus précisément, nous avons montré comment dans le conte, les femmes sont soumises à la double domination du regard masculin du narrateur et d’un discours phallogocentrique omniprésent. Nous avons soutenu que ce discours phallocentrique hégémonique limite les femmes au rôle de spécula (selon la définition d’Irigaray) pour l’assertivité de la subjectivité masculine. Ainsi, nous avons conclu, le véritable protagoniste du conte n'est pas le groupe de femmes de la Maison Tellier mais l’ego masculin qu'elles sont contraintes à refléter passivement. Nous avons également réfléchi sur la fonction particulière assignée au personnage de Mme Tellier et à l’importance de sa position liminale entre les rôles masculins et féminins., The present memoire is an analysis of Maupassant’s short story La Maison Tellier based on psychoanalytic feminist literary criticism principles. After revisiting the history of feminist literary criticism and the different philosophical and political undercurrents that have influenced feminist thought in general and, in particular, literary criticism, we have defined our critical textual approach which is based on Lacanian psychoanalytic theory of subject development and its feminist reworking by Luce Irigaray. More specifically, we have demonstrated how in the short story women are subject to the double dominance of the narrator’s male gaze and of the pervasive phallogocentric discourse. This hegemonic phallic discourse, we have argued, confines women to the role of specula (in Irigaray’s definition) for the affirmation of man’s subjectivity. Thus, we have concluded, the real protoganist of the short story is not the group of women from the Maison Tellier but the male ego that they are made to passively reflect. We have also reflected on the special role of the character of Mme Tellier and on the significance of her liminal position between men’s and women’s roles.

Cette recherche, à partir de la pièce de Molière Les Précieuses ridicules, analyse l'opinion de l'auteur à l'égard du phénomène de la préciosité afin de déterminer les raisons de son attaque satirique contre les salonnières. Le mémoire s'ouvre sur une analyse du cadre historique dans laquelle sont établies les limites temporelles du mouvement précieux en France au XVIIe siècle et ses causes. Ces dernières sont à trouver dans les changements politiques et sociaux qui ont suivi la période de la Fronde et l’instauration de la monarchie absolutiste de Louis XIV. La deuxième partie, en passant en revue les satiristes les plus en vogue à l’époque, établit les sources plausibles de la pièce de Molière et détermine la nature politique de la satire. Ensuite, notre analyse met en lumière que les vraies cibles de Molière ne sont pas les précieuses mais les bourgeois qui aspirent à s’élever au niveau de l’aristocratie. La dernière partie est une réflexion sur le modèle de féminisme adopté par l’auteur et ses similarités avec la pensée de Mlle de Scudéry, This research paper, based on Molière's Les Précieuses ridicules, analyses the author's opinion of the phenomenon of “précieusité” in order to determine the reasons for his satirical attack on the “salonnières”. The essay opens with a historical framework in which are established the temporal limits and the causes of the precious movement in France in the seventeenth century. The latter are located in the political and social changes that followed the period of the Fronde and the establishment of the absolutist monarchy of Louis XIV. The second part, by reviewing the most popular satirists of the time, establishes the plausible sources of Molière's play and determines the political nature of satire. Then, our analysis highlights how the true targets of Molière are not the précieuses but the bourgeois who aspire to rise to the level of the aristocracy. The last part is a reflection on the model of feminism adopted by the author and its similarities with Miss de Scudéry.

The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum operating conditions required for air stripping of ammonium sulfate wastewater from the caprolactam manufacturing process, to determine if biological nitrification is a viable means of treatment, and to identify any compounds present in the ammonium sulfate wastewater that (might) inhibit nitrification. This was accomplished using a combination of air stripping pretreatment, a flow-through conventional activated sludge system, powdered activated carbon (PAC) treatment and batch testing. Although biological treatment was conducted using conditions to promote nitrifier growth, nitrification was not observed using either conventional or PAC treatment. Air stripping removed fifty per cent of the ammonia-nitrogen at gas-to-liquid ratios greater than 500. However, it had no apparent effect on nitrifier inhibition. Inhibitor studies of this waste stream focused on two oximes: namely cyclohexanone oxime and methylethyl ketoxime (MEKO), which were both found in the wastewater in concentrations of 50-150 mg/L. The conclusion of this work is that cyclohexanone oxime is not inhibitory to nitrification .in concentrations less than 100 mg/L; however, MBKO was found to be inhibitory at concentrations as low as 14 mg/L. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect appeared to be pH dependent with increasing inhibition at pH less than eight. The implications of these findings for the design and operation of a full-scale treatment facility are numerous. The optimum pH range for a full-scale facility would be narrow due to the requirement for a pH high enough to decompose MEKO while maintaining a pH low enough to prevent free ammonia toxicity.

This report describes the services' enlisted rotation policies and related management problems. Military personnel generally perceive non-CONUS assignments as undesirable and constraints within certain occupational fields exacerbate the effects of rotating specialists. Service-wide sentiments against non-CONUS tours are greatest when occupational fields have detrimental rotational patterns. Geographical imbalances require assigning a disproportionate number of the specialty population out of the United States. Tour categories may also be imbalanced. These interrelated conditions may lower both retention rates and productivity of the remaining specialists. As well as direct costs, there are indirect costs of higher training and recruiting rates and productivity losses created by larger pipelines, more frequent start-up times, and poor morale. Service personnel managers have suggested extended leave for voluntary extentions in non-CONUS tours and bonuses for undesirable locations . Any incentive system should increase the effective length of non-CONUS tours, thereby lessening rotation base requirements and management problems. (Author)
