Abstract

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1000 Hertz with the first derivative of frequency in the range −8.9 × 10(exp −10) Hertz per second to zero in two years of data collected during LIGO's fifth science run. Our results employ a Hough transform technique, introducing a chi(sup 2) test and analysis of coincidences between the signal levels in years 1 and 2 of observations that offers a significant improvement in the product of strain sensitivity with compute cycles per data sample compared to previously published searches. Since our search yields no surviving candidates, we present results taking the form of frequency dependent, 95% confidence upper limits on the strain amplitude h(sub 0). The most stringent upper limit from year 1 is 1.0 × 10(exp −24) in the 158.00-158.25 Hertz band. In year 2, the most stringent upper limit is 8.9 × 10(exp −25) in the 146.50-146.75 Hertz band. This improved detection pipeline, which is computationally efficient by at least two orders of magnitude better than our flagship Einstein@Home search, will be important for 'quicklook' searches in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detector era.

Abstract

We present the results of searches for gravitational waves from a large selection of pulsars using data from the most recent science runs (S6, VSR2 and VSR4) of the initial generation of interferometric gravitational wave detectors LIGO (Laser Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory) and Virgo. We do not see evidence for gravitational wave emission from any of the targeted sources but produce upper limits on the emission amplitude. We highlight the results from seven young pulsars with large spin-down luminosities. We reach within a factor of five of the canonical spin-down limit for all seven of these, whilst for the Crab and Vela pulsars we further surpass their spin-down limits. We present new or updated limits for 172 other pulsars (including both young and millisecond pulsars). Now that the detectors are undergoing major upgrades, and, for completeness, we bring together all of the most up-to-date results from all pulsars searched for during the operations of the first-generation LIGO, Virgo and GEO600 detectors. This gives a total of 195 pulsars including the most recent results described in this paper.

Abstract

Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising observational signature. In this Letter we present a search for GWs from cosmic string cusps in data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors between 2005 and 2010, with over 625 days of live time. We find no evidence of GW signals from cosmic strings. From this result, we derive new constraints on cosmic string parameters, which complement and improve existing limits from previous searches for a stochastic background of GWs from cosmic microwave background measurements and pulsar timing data. In particular, if the size of loops is given by the gravitational backreaction scale, we place upper limits on the string tension (Newton's Constant x mass per unit length) below 10(exp −8) in some regions of the cosmic string parameter space.

Abstract

This paper deals with the effective design of smart microrobots for both mechanical cell characterization and cell convoying for in vitro fertilization. The first microrobotic device was developed to evaluate oocyte mechanical behavior in order to sort oocytes. A multi-axial micro-force sensor based on a frictionless magnetic bearing was developed. The second microrobotic device presented is a cell convoying device consisting of a wireless micropusher based on magnetic actuation. As wireless capabilities are supported by this microrobotic system, no power supply connections to the micropusher are needed. Preliminary experiments have been performed regarding both cell transporting and biomechanical characterization capabilities under in vitro conditions on human oocytes so as to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed setups. Index Terms--Cell convoying, in vitro fertilization process, mechanical cell characterization, microrobotics.

Abstract

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich information about source physics; thus parameter estimation and model selection are crucial analysis steps for any detection candidate events. Detailed models of the anticipated waveforms enable inference on several parameters, such as component masses, spins, sky location and distance, that are essential for new astrophysical studies of these sources. However, accurate measurements of these parameters and discrimination of models describing the underlying physics are complicated by artifacts in the data, uncertainties in the waveform models and in the calibration of the detectors. Here we report such measurements on a selection of simulated signals added either in hardware or software to the data collected by the two LIGO instruments and the Virgo detector during their most recent joint science run, including a blind injection where the signal was not initially revealed to the collaboration. We exemplify the ability to extract information about the source physics on signals that cover the neutron-star and black-hole binary parameter space over the component mass range 1M25M and the full range of spin parameters. The cases reported in this study provide a snapshot of the status of parameter estimation in preparation for the operation of advanced detectors.

Abstract

Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phenomena in the universe, by non-axisymmetric rotating neutron stars or from a stochastic background in the frequency band of the detectors. The sensitivity of GW searches is limited by noise produced by the detector or its environment. It is therefore crucial to characterize the various noise sources in a GW detector. This paper reviews the Virgo detector noise sources, noise propagation, and conversion mechanisms which were identified in the three first Virgo observing runs. In many cases, these investigations allowed us to mitigate noise sources in the detector, or to selectively flag noise events and discard them from the data. We present examples from the joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo GW searches to show how well noise transients and narrow spectral lines have been identified and excluded from the Virgo data. We also discuss how detector characterization can improve the astrophysical reach of gravitational wave searches.

Abstract

We present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO and Virgo detectors between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010: data are analyzed when at least two of the three LIGO-Virgo detectors are in coincident operation, with a total observation time of 207 days. The analysis searches for transients of duration approx. < 1 s over the frequency band 64-5000 Hz, without other assumptions on the signal wa.veform, polarization, direction or occurrence time. All identified events are c.onsistent with the expected accidental background. We set frequentist upper limits on the rate of gravitational-wave bursts by combining this search with the previous LIGOVirgo search on the data collected "between November 2005 and October 2007. The upper limit on the rate of strong gravita.tional-wave bursts at the Earth is 1.3 events per year at 90% confidence. We also present upper limits on source rate density per yea.r and Mpc3 for sample popula.tions of standard-candle sources. As in the previous joint run, typical sensitivities of the search in terms of the root-sum-squared strain amplitude for these waveforms lie in the range approx 5 x 10(exp -22 Hz(exp-1/2) approx 1 X 10(exp -20) Hz(exp -1/2) . The combination of the two joint runs entails the most sensitive all-sky search for generic gravitational-wave bursts and synthesizes the results achieved by the initial generation of interferometric detectors.

Abstract

We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009, and October 20. 2010. We searched for signals from binaries with total mass between 2 and 25 Stellar Mass; this includes binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and binaries consisting of a black hole and neutron star. The detectors were sensitive to systems up to 40 Mpc distant for binary neutron stars, and further for higher mass systems. No gravitational-wave signals were detected. We report upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescence as a function of total mass. including the results from previous LIGO and Virgo observations. The cumulative 90% confidence rate upper limits of the binary coalescence of binary neutron star, neutron star-black hole, and binary black hole systems are 1.3 x 10(exp -4), 3.1 x 10(exp -5), and 6.4 x 10(exp -6)/cu Mpc/yr, respectively. These upper limits are up to a factor 1.4 lower than previously derived limits. We also report on results from a blind injection challenge.

Abstract

Aims. A transient astrophysical event observed in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) channels would yield rich scientific rewards. A first program initiating EM follow-ups to possible transient GW events has been developed and exercised by the LIGO and Virgo community in association with several partners. In this paper, we describe and evaluate the methods used to promptly identify and localize GW event candidates and to request images of targeted sky locations. Methods. During two observing periods (Dec. 17, 2009 to Jan. 8, 2010 and Sep. 2 to Oct. 20, 2010), a low-latency analysis pipeline was used to identify GW event candidates and to reconstruct maps of possible sky locations. A catalog of nearby galaxies and MilkyWay globular clusters was used to select the most promising sky positions to be imaged, and this directional information was delivered to EM observatories with time lags of about thirty minutes. A Monte Carlo simulation has been used to evaluate the low-latency GW pipeline's ability to reconstruct source positions correctly. Results. For signals near the detection threshold, our low-latency algorithms often localized simulated GW burst signals to tens of square degrees, while neutron star/neutron star inspirals and neutron star/black hole inspirals were localized to a few hundred square degrees. Localization precision improves for moderately stronger signals. The correct sky location of signals well above threshold and originating from nearby galaxies may be observed with ∼50% or better probability with a few pointings of wide-field telescopes.

Abstract

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical origin. This background is a target for the current generation of ground-based detectors. In this article we present the first joint search for a stochastic background using data from the LIGO and Virgo interferometers. In a frequency band of 600-1000 Hz, we obtained a 95% upper limit on the amplitude of omega(sub GW)(f) = omega(sub 3) (f/900Hz)3, of omega(sub 3) < 0.33, assuming a value of the Hubble parameter of h(sub 100) = 0.72. These new limits are a factor of seven better than the previous best in this frequency band.

Abstract

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6 x 10(exp -9) Hz/s. Such a signal could be produced by a nearby spinning and slightly non-axisymmetric isolated neutron star in our galaxy. After recent improvements in the search program that yielded a 10x increase in computational efficiency, we have searched in two years of data. collected during LIGO's fifth science run and have obtained the most sensitive all-sky upper limits on gravitational wave strain to date. Near 150 Hz our upper limit on worst-case linearly polarized strain amplitude h(sub 0) is 1 x 10(exp -24), while at the high end of our frequency ra.nge we achieve a worst-case upper limit of 3.8 x 10(exp -24) for all polarizations and sky locations. These results constitute a factor of two improvement upop. previously published data. A new detection pipeline utilizing a Loosely Coherent algorithm was able to follow up weaker outliers, increasing the volume of space where signals can be detected by a factor of 10, but has not revealed any gravitational wave signals. The pipeline has been tested for robustness with respect to deviations from the model of an isolated neutron star, such as caused by a low-mass or long.period binary companion.

Abstract

The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distribution of the many possible sources of GWs are not well constrained, searches for GW signals must be performed in a model-independent way. To that end we perform two directional searches for persistent GWs using data from the LIGO S5 science run: one optimized for pointlike sources and one for arbitrary extended sources. The latter result is the first of its kind. Finding no evidence to support the detection of GWs, we present 90% confidence level (CL) upper-limit maps of GW strain power with typical values between 2 - 20 X 10 (exp -50) strain2Hz(exp -1) and 5 - 35 X 10 (exp -49) strain2Hz(exp -1)/sr for pointlike and extended sources respectively. The limits on pointlike sources constitute a factor of 30 improvement over the previous best limits. We also set 90% CL limits on the narrow-band root-mean-square GW strain from interesting targets including Sco X-1, SN1987A and the Galactic Center as low as approximately equal 7 X 10(exp -25) in the most sensitive frequency range near 160Hz. These limits are the most constraining to date and constitute a factor of 5 improvement over the previous best limits.

Abstract

We report the results of the first search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence using data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo detectors. Five months of data were collected during the concurrent S5 (UGO) and VSRI (Virgo) science runs. The search focused on signals from binary mergers with a total mass between 2 and 35 Solar Mass. No gravitational waves are identified. The cumulative 90%-confidence upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescence are calculated for non-spinning binary neutron stars, black hole-neutron star systems, and binary black holes to be 8.7 x 10(exp -3) / yr-1/L(sub 10) 2.2 x 10-3 yr-1L101, and 4.4 x 10(exp -4)3) / yr-1/L(sub 10) respectively, where L (sub 10) is 10(exp 10) times the blue solar luminosity. These upper limits are compared with astrophysical expectations.

[Departement_IRSTEA]Territoires [TR1_IRSTEA]SEDYVIN [ADD1_IRSTEA]Dynamique et fonctionnement des écosystèmes [ADD2_IRSTEA]Dynamiques spatiales d'anthropisation [Encadrant_IRSTEA]Bergès, L.; After centuries of deforestation in Europe, forest cover is significantly increasing since the turn of the nineteenth century. The age of current forests is thus heterogeneous. Historical maps are a privileged tool to characterise forest temporal continuity. In temperate regions, they demonstrated that forest ancientness determines soil properties and the presence of some plant species. However, those differences were rarely analysed in the Mediterranean region. The main objectives of this PhD thesis are to analyse the drivers of forest cover change and the effect of temporal continuity and past land uses on forest soils and understory vegetation in the Mediterranean region. This work relies on the territory of the Regional Natural Park of Luberon. The first part consists of identifying biophysical and socioeconomic drivers of land use (forest, pasture, arable land) and forest recovery spatial distribution, based on the comparison of 1860 (État-Major map), 1958 and 2010 land uses. Forest maintained on the least productive land while forest recovery occurred on soils with low productivity, and close to pre-existing forests. The second part investigates the effect of forest temporal continuity (ancient, recent or very recent forests) and past land uses (forest, pasture or crop) on their ecological characteristics, based on floristic and pedological data. Ancient and recent forests are distributed according to soil productivity and host species of differing traits and ecological preferences. Notably, species significantly preferring ancient forests are true forest species, phanerophytes and endozoochores. If this work relies on the État-Major map, it turns out that the historical ecology of Mediterranean forests requires complementary in situ approaches in order to fully understand the complexity of past landscape uses. Besides the original aspect of such a study in the Mediterranean region, this work enables to clarify the effects of past land uses on forest soils and understory vegetation with the biophysical drivers of forest cover change, and to explore different methodological aspects of historical ecology.; Après des siècles de déforestation, la couverture forestière européenne est en forte progression depuis le début du XIXe siècle. L'âge des forêts actuelles est donc hétérogène. Les cartes historiques sont un outil privilégié pour caractériser la continuité temporelle des forêts. En région tempérée, elles ont permis de démontrer que l'ancienneté des forêts conditionne les caractéristiques des sols et la présence de certaines espèces végétales. En revanche, peu d'études ont été réalisées pour tester ces différences en région méditerranéenne. L'objectif général de la thèse est d'analyser les déterminants du changement du couvert forestier et l'effet de la continuité temporelle et des usages passés sur les sols et la flore des forêts actuelles en région méditerranéenne. Ce travail a été réalisé sur le territoire du Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon. Le premier volet identifie les déterminants biophysiques et socio-économiques de la distribution des usages (forêt, pâture, culture) et de la reconquête forestière, à partir de données cartographiques de 1860 (carte d'État-Major), 1958 et 2010. Il apparaît notamment que les forêts se sont maintenues sur les terres les moins productives et que la reconquête forestière s'est faite sur des sols peu productifs, et à proximité des forêts préexistantes. Le second volet explore l'effet de la continuité temporelle (forêt ancienne, récente ou très récente) et des usages passés (forêt, pâture ou culture) des forêts sur leurs caractéristiques écologiques, à partir de relevés floristiques et pédologiques. Les forêts anciennes et récentes se répartissent selon la productivité des sols et accueillent des espèces qui se distinguent par leurs traits et leurs exigences écologiques, avec notamment des espèces spécialistes forestières, phanérophytes et endozoochores plus fréquentes en forêt ancienne. Si ce travail s'appuie sur la carte d'État-Major, il s'avère que l'écologie historique des forêts méditerranéennes nécessite également des approches in situ afin d'appréhender la complexité des usages anciens du paysage. Outre le caractère original d'une telle étude en région méditerranéenne, ce travail permet d'éclairer les effets des usages passés sur les sols et la flore des forêts avec les déterminants biophysiques du changement du couvert forestier, et d'explorer différents aspects méthodologiques de l'écologie historique.

Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]Territoires [TR1_IRSTEA]SEDYVIN [ADD1_IRSTEA]Dynamique et fonctionnement des écosystèmes; International audience; The importance of including a historical approach in ecological studies is now acknowledged, as history can help understand structure and functioning of present ecosystems but also assess conservation objectives. In temperate regions, several studies showed ecological differences according to forest temporal continuity, including soil physicochemical properties, vascular plant composition and traits. The definition of ancient and recent forests usually relies on a threshold date, provided by historical data. The best tools for studying the impact of forest continuity on forest plants are historical maps. Those maps should be ancient and precise enough. In France, those conditions are best met by the "Etat-Major" map. Indeed, unlike the Cassini map (18th century), small woodlots were not overlooked, the spatial resolution and precision is reasonable and that map was achieved at the national scale, which allows scientists to compare response patterns among regions in a homogeneous fashion. It has been digitized on about one third of France and is more and more used by scientists. However, is it that simple? Indeed, in lowlands, there are no ambiguities between land uses, and boundaries are very easy to identify. In a semi mountainous region, things are a bit trickier: relief may challenge the identification of land uses and boundaries; some land uses are in fact a combination of two land uses which are distinguished by a criterion that has not yet been clearly defined; in Mediterranean regions, long history of use of forests and particularly sylvo-pastoralism has probably smoothed the difference between ancient forests and recent forests developed on rangelands or pasturelands. We here question the relevance of the "Etat-Major" map as an absolute reference for studying the ecological effect of past land use and particularly in a Mediterranean and semi-mountainous context: the Natural Regional Park of Luberon. A hundred sites were sampled according to past land use (forest, "pâquis" and arable lands) on the "Etat-Major" map. In each plot, we also recorded past land use remnants: terrace, stone removal or none. Understory vegetation and soil physico-chemical properties were recorded and analysed according to past land use, and in situ past land use remnants. We showed that soil properties and understory vegetation significantly responded to past land use remnants, but not to past land use according to the "Etat-Major" map. This suggests that ancient maps may not be sufficient to detect the effect of past land use in the Mediterranean area.

Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]Territoires [TR1_IRSTEA]SEDYVIN; International audience; In national parks in metropolitan France, where the forest area has grown considerably since the middle of the 19th century, interest in the ancient forests they accommodate has been growing in recent years. Having identified them, national park authorities now wish to gain more knowledge about their specificities so as to better preserve them and offer suitable management methods. A comparison between the six territories surveyed showed up a strong increase in forest area —from 5 % in the heart of the Port-Cros National Park to nearly 100 or 200 % in the mountain national parks and 340 % in the Cévennes Park. The history of the territories is also reflected in the distribution of topographic features, estates and dominant species in both ancient and recent forests. Indeed, ancient forests tend to be located in mountain areas on the steep slopes and on the cold side, i.e. places that are less suitable for farming. Conversely, recent forests appear to be the outcome of natural recolonisation (pioneer species on more readily accessible land) or of reforestation (e.g. state forests under the RTM scheme on slopes). These results show that abandonment of farmland, successive reforestation policies or even changes in pastoral practices are major drivers common to woodland changes. They can be applied directly in all of these territories. To go further, it is important to gain knowledge about the biodiversity associated with the continuity of woodland status and the effect of management methods, both past and present, on that biodiversity. Furthermore, it would be useful to study the spatial layout of forests and the degree of interconnection between ancient and recent forests.; Les parcs nationaux métropolitains, qui ont connu une forte progression de leur surface forestière depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle, s’intéressent depuis plusieurs années aux forêts anciennes. Après les avoir identifiées, ils souhaitent mieux connaître leurs spécificités pour pouvoir les préserver et proposer des mesures de gestion adaptées. La comparaison des six territoires étudiés a montré une forte progression de la surface forestière, de 5 % dans le coeur du parc national de Port-Cros à près de 100 ou 200% dans les parcs nationaux de haute montagne et 340% dans les Cévennes. La distribution des situations topographiques, propriétés foncières et essences dominantes en forêt ancienne ou récente reflète également l’histoire des territoires. Les forêts anciennes sont en effet localisées plus fréquemment dans des zones pentues et en versant froid en montagne, espaces moins favorables à l’agriculture. À l’inverse, les forêts récentes apparaissent issues de recolonisation naturelle (essences pionnières sur des terrains plus accessibles) ou de reboisements (forêts domaniales RTM sur pentes par exemple). Ces résultats mettent en avant la déprise agricole, les politiques successives de reboisement ou encore les changements de pratiques pastorales comme dynamiques communes principales de l’évolution des espaces boisés. Ils sont directement valorisables par chacun des territoires. Pour aller plus loin, il est important de mieux connaître la biodiversité liée à l’ancienneté de l’état boisé et l’effet des modes de gestion, passés et actuels, sur cette biodiversité. Un travail complémentaire pourrait aussi être mené sur l’agencement spatial des forêts et le degré de connectivité entre forêt ancienne et récente.

Abstract

Delineating ancient woodlands, characterised as woodlands that have subsisted continuously for a long period, requires the use of maps. When such a study is undertaken over a large area, a comprehensive examination of all existing documentation is not feasible. A single cartographic collection should be chosen for the whole area. Two sources are clearly the most suitable in France: the Napoleonic Cadastre [Land Registry], and the Etat-Major [Ordnance Survey] maps, both of which were implemented at a date close to that of the French historical minimum forest area. The work presented here compares the two sources in order to evaluate their respective advantages and disadvantages not only for mapping ancient woodlands but also, more broadly, for establishing a comprehensive historical land-cover map, including forests, pastures, meadows, croplands, vineyards and built areas.; La délimitation de forêts dites anciennes, caractérisées par une longue continuité temporelle de l'état boisé, impose le recours à des sources cartographiques. Quand un tel travail est entrepris sur une vaste surface, l'examen systématique de toute la documentation existante est exclu, et il faut alors définir un unique corpus cartographique qui puisse faire référence sur la totalité du territoire étudié. Deux sources s'imposent alors comme étant les plus adaptées : le cadastre dit napoléonien, et la carte d'état-major, tous deux en général réalisés à une date proche du minimum historique forestier français. Les travaux ici présentés confrontent ces deux sources pour en évaluer les avantages et inconvénients réciproques, non seulement pour la cartographie des forêts anciennes mais aussi, plus largement, pour la construction de la carte de l'ensemble des occupations passées du sol, incluant forêts, pâtures, prairies, cultures, vignes et bâti.

Abstract

During the LIGO and Virgo joint science runs in 2009-2010, gravitational wave (GW) data from three interferometer detectors were analyzed within minutes to select GW candidate events and infer their apparent sky positions. Target coordinates were transmitted to several telescopes for follow-up observations aimed at the detection of an associated optical transient. Images were obtained for eight such GW candidates. We present the methods used to analyze the image data as well as the transient search results. No optical transient was identified with a convincing association with any of these candidates, and none of the GW triggers showed strong evidence for being astrophysical in nature. We compare the sensitivities of these observations to several model light curves from possible sources of interest, and discuss prospects for future joint GW-optical observations of this type., Comment: 24 pages

Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]Territoires [TR1_IRSTEA]SEDYVIN; International audience; In the last twenty years, several studies have stressed the importance of including a historical approach in ecological studies. It helps understand structure and functioning of present ecosystems but also assess conservation objectives. In temperate regions, several studies showed that forest vascular plants differ according to forest temporal continuity. This difference is caused by a modification of forest habitats by past land use, especially soil physico-chemical properties, but is also conditioned by species colonisation potential. For instance, species more frequent in forests with a long temporal continuity, also known as ancient forest species, have life-history traits associated to poor dispersal abilities. However, the effect of past land use on the present flora has not yet been investigated in the Mediterranean. Our aim is thus to analyse floristic differences between ancient and recent forests and to identify life-history traits associated to those differences in the Natural Regional Park of Luberon. We also explore the effect of past land use on forest plant communities and soil physico-chemical properties. We hypothesised that: (1) species more frequent in ancient forests were typical forest species, more shade-tolerant and with poor dispersal ability (dispersal syndrome, soil seedbank); (2) ancient forest soils had less nutrients, more organic matter and are more superficial compared to recent forests; (3) those differences varied according to past land use (pastoral vs. cultural); (4) those differences are less pronounced than in temperate regions because former pasturelands were dominant in the Mediterranean. This study will enable us to better understand past land use effects on vegetation and soil dynamics in Mediterranean forests, and to compare our results with other biogeographical and sociological contexts.

Abstract

International audience; Après des siècles de déboisements majeurs, la surface forestière a presque doublé depuis le début du XIXe siècle en France, avec une transition forestière plus marquée en contexte montagnard et méditerranéen. Cette augmentation globale peut cependant cacher des déboisements et des reboisements qui ne se sont pas faits dans les mêmes conditions de milieu, induisant une perte ou un gain de certains habitats forestiers. L'enjeu est donc de quantifier précisément l'évolution spatio-temporelle de la couverture forestière et de comprendre les conditions environnementales et les changements socio-économiques qui déterminent cette évolution. Pour ce faire, le meilleur outil reste les cartes d'occupation du sol réalisées à différentes époques. Cependant, rares sont les études qui ont rassemblé des données historiques complètes et précises à la fois sur le long terme et sur une large surface. Notre objectif est de mettre en relation l'évolution spatio-temporelle des forêts avec des données environnementales et humaines spatialisées. A partir de la carte d’État-major de 1860, l'occupation passée des sols dans le Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon (2000 km²) a été digitalisée avec une grande précision (Salvaudon et al., 2012) et nous a permis de retracer l'évolution du couvert forestier depuis 150 ans en croisant avec l'occupation du sol actuelle (2010). A partir de ces deux dates de référence et des informations géologiques, pédologiques, topographiques (pente, altitude, exposition) et de données humaines historiques et actuelles spatialisées (bâti, routes, démographie), nous cherchons à identifier par des modèles de régression logistique quels facteurs expliquent l’évolution du couvert forestier entre les deux dates, et quelle part de variation ils expliquent. Nos hypothèses sont les suivantes : (1) les forêts se sont maintenues (forêts anciennes) sur des terres peu favorables à la mise en culture et sur des terrains difficiles d'accès en termes de topographie et de distance aux habitations et aux voies de circulation ; (2) les forêts se sont redéveloppées depuis 1860 (forêts récentes) en périphérie des noyaux de forêts anciennes, mais sur des sols moins accessibles et moins fertiles que les milieux non forestiers ; (3) la part d'explication par ces forces motrices est élevée, mais il reste une part non déterministe dans les changements d'occupation du sol. Cette étude géographique et historique permettra de poser les bases pour comprendre l'effet de ces évolutions sur la flore des forêts du Luberon.

Abstract

18 pages, 5 figures. Data for plots available at https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P1200087-v18/public; We present a possible observing scenario for the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We determine the expected sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals, and study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source. For concreteness, we focus primarily on gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary neutron star (BNS) systems, as the source considered likely to be the most common for detection and also promising for multimessenger astronomy. We find that confident detections will likely require at least 2 detectors operating with BNS sensitive ranges of at least 100 Mpc, while ranges approaching 200 Mpc should give at least ~1 BNS detection per year even under pessimistic predictions of signal rates. The ability to localize the source of the detected signals depends on the geographical distribution of the detectors and their relative sensitivity, and can be as large as thousands of square degrees with only 2 sensitive detectors operating. Determining the sky position of a significant fraction of detected signals to areas of 5 sq deg to 20 sq deg will require at least 3 detectors of sensitivity within a factor of ~2 of each other and with a broad frequency bandwidth. Should one of the LIGO detectors be relocated in India as expected, many gravitational-wave signals will be localized to a few square degrees by gravitational-wave observations alone.

Abstract

Background: Advantages offered by canine population substructure, combined with clinical presentations similar to human disorders, makes the dog an attractive system for studies of cancer genetics. Cancers that have been difficult to study in human families or populations are of particular interest. Histiocytic sarcoma is a rare and poorly understood neoplasm in humans that occurs in 15% to 25% of Bernese Mountain Dogs (BMD). Methods: Genomic DNA was collected from affected and unaffected BMD in North America and Europe. Both independent and combined genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were used to identify cancer-associated loci. Fine mapping and sequencing narrowed the primary locus to a single gene region. Results: Both populations shared the same primary locus, which features a single haplotype spanning MTAP and part of CDKN2A and is present in 96% of affected BMD. The haplotype is within the region homologous to human chromosome 9p21, which has been implicated in several types of cancer. Conclusions: We present the first GWAS for histiocytic sarcoma in any species. The data identify an associated haplotype in the highly cited tumor suppressor locus near CDKN2A. These data show the power of studying distinctive malignancies in highly predisposed dog breeds. Impact: Here, we establish a naturally occurring model of cancer susceptibility due to CDKN2 dysregulation, thus providing insight about this cancer-associated, complex, and poorly understood genomic region.

Abstract

Progenitor scenarios for short gamma-ray bursts (short GRBs) include coalescenses of two neutron stars or a neutron star and black hole, which would necessarily be accompanied by the emission of strong gravitational waves. We present a search for these known gravitational-wave signatures in temporal and directional coincidence with 22 GRBs that had sufficient gravitational-wave data available in multiple instruments during LIGO's fifth science run, S5, and Virgo's first science run, VSR1. We find no statistically significant gravitational-wave candidates within a [ – 5, + 1) s window around the trigger time of any GRB. Using the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U-test, we find no evidence for an excess of weak gravitational-wave signals in our sample of GRBs. We exclude neutron star-black hole progenitors to a median 90% confidence exclusion distance of 6.7 Mpc., Alfred P.
