Alors que la maison d’arrêt de Paris la Santé a fermé ses portes au mois de juillet 2014 pour une importante campagne de travaux de rénovation et de modernisation (pour une réouverture prévue en 2018), la publication de cette monographie vient apporter un éclairage historique très intéressant sur la dernière prison située dans Paris intra-muros. L’auteur, Michel Fize, sociologue au CNRS, spécialiste de l’enfance, de l’adolescence et de la famille, est l’auteur d’une étude éponyme en deux volu...

Let (X-t)(t >= 0) be a continuous-time irreducible Markov chain on a finite state space E, let v: E -> R \ {0}, and let (phi(t))(t >= 0) be defined by phi(t) = integral(0)(t) v(X-s) ds. We consider the case in which the process (phi(t))(t >= 0) is oscillating and that in which (phi(t))(t >= 0) has a negative drift. In each of these cases, we condition the process (X-t, phi(t))(t >= 0) on the event that (phi(t))(t >= 0) hits level y before hitting 0 and prove weak convergence of the conditioned process as y -> infinity. In addition, we show the relationship between the conditioning of the process (phi(t))(t >= 0) with a negative drift to oscillate and the conditioning of it to stay nonnegative for a long time, and the relationship between the conditioning of (phi(t))(t >= 0) with a negative drift to drift to infinity and the conditioning of it to hit large levels before hitting 0.

Energy efficiency is essential in the efforts to achieve a 20 % reduction of primary power consumption by 2020. It is widely recognized that the potential of energy saving in buildings is large. Considering the tendencies of energy production and price, it is becoming urgent to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The choice of materials for a building with a high energy efficiency becomes much more important and strategies for reducing the use of primary energy for the production of materials and components becomes key. Renewable building materials should already be integrated into the early phases of building planning. The positive trend towards wooden construction is dictated by international guidelines, where a wooden building is an important starting point, not only for low-energy, but also low-emission building with exceptional health and safety aspects. In Europe, the most comprehensive and widely used is a concept of ultra-low energy house, more precisely, the passive house concept. Most Slovenian buildings combine contemporary styling with a degree of energy efficiency that comes close to passive house standards. It is widely recognised that the Slovenian construction industry is relatively advanced in the field of low energy buildings. In the light of the growing importance of energy-efficient building methods, it could be said that timber passive house would play an increasingly important role in the future.

Cloning is nonsexual reproduction with the means of division of the zygote, ortransfer of nucleus into embryonal or adult germ cell. The clones would be similar to each other or to the donor as identical twins. The differences could appear due to diversity of environment and especially to historical changes of society or to the damages of DNA. The motives for cloning differ, and the opposition is great (especially among the politicans and clerics). Notwithstanding 38% of the femal students agree to be cloned under certain conditions, mostly to protect their family or marriage.

We survey the main results on ovoids and spreads, large maximal partial ovoids and large maximal partial spreads, and on small maximal partial ovoids and small maximal partial spreads in classical finite polar spaces. We also discuss the main results on the spectrum problem on maximal partial ovoids and maximal partial spreads in classical finite polar spaces. The research of the fourth author was also supported by the Project Combined algorithmic and the oretical study of combinatorial structur es between the Fund for Scientific Research Flanders-Belgium (FWO-Flanders) and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05B25, 51E20.
