    Notes: Abstract A quantitative survey of the macrobenthos in the south-west lagoon of New Caledonia was carried out at 35 stations, sampled both with a grab and by diving. The stations were classified by multivariate analysis on the basis of their floral and faunal composition and three major communities, corresponding to muddy bottoms, grey sand bottoms and white sand bottoms, were identified. At the same time, grain-size analysis performed on sediment samples at each station enabled us to identify the most discriminating grain-size parameters for each type of bottom. Classification of stations with respect to the mud fraction and the very fine + fine sand fraction reproduced the groups identified on the basis of purely taxonomic criteria. Application of these results to the available sedimentological data allowed the main benthic communities in the investigation area to be mapped.

    Notes: Summary Antiperinuclear factor (APF) might be a specific serum rheumatoid factor directed towards keratohyaline granules. It was found to be present in 40 of 79 (50.6%) patients with primary and in 21 of 36 (58.3%) patients with metastatic lung cancer, compared with 12 of 95 (12.6%) sex- and age-matched normal controls. Additionally, APF frequency and titer correlated well with tumor dissemination, even though no relationship could be shown with histopathological type.

    Estimation of bottom ammonium affinity in the New Caledonia lagoon (1994)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Ammonium affinity of New Caledonia lagoon benthic communities was measured during the course of 33 in situ enrichment experiments, in order to estimate the contribution of benthos to ammonium fluxes. Ammonium chloride was injected into enclosures pushed into the sediment, in order to obtain a concentration of 20–22 μmol l-1 in the enclosed water which approximated the interstitial water content. Ammonium kinetic uptake was then followed for two hours. Grey-sand bottom displayed the highest affinity for ammonium, but white-sand and muddy bottom affinity was of the same order of magnitude. Macrophytes, and microphytes (when macrophytes are absent), account for the bulk of ammonium bottom uptake. As a result, grey-sand bottoms with their dense macrophyte cover represent a sink for water column nitrogen and play a key role in nutrient cycling of the lagoon.

    Structure and temporal fluctuations of two intertidal seagrass-bed communities in New Caledonia (SW Pacific Ocean) (1993)

    Notes: Abstract The structure and trophic organization of two intertidal seagrass-bed communities (Halodule uninervis and Thalassia hemprichii) were examined on the southwest coast of New Caledonia (SW Pacific Ocean), from April 1989 to March 1990. Five benthic samples were collected from each site at 2 mo intervals and various environmental parameters were simultaneously monitored. Animal:plant biomass ratios were close to 1 at both sites. Polychaetes dominated in number of species. The suspension-feeding bivalves Gafrarium tumidum and Anadara scapha constituted the greater part of the animal biomass. The evolution of the communities over an annual cycle displayed marked structural and organizational stability, resulting mainly from the absence of distinct recruitment periods for the dominant species, no mortalities during the brief low-salinity periods, and no temporal variations in the granulometry, the organic matter or the chlorophyll a contents of the sediments.

    Biomass and trophic structure of the macrobenthos in the south-west lagoon of New Caledonia (1988)

    Notes: Abstract The biomass of the macrobenthic communities of the southwest lagoon of New Caledonia is analysed with special reference to tropical soft-bottom assemblages. The samples were obtained in 1986 from 350 Smith-McIntyre grabs as well as by diving over an area of 3 500 m2, and covered a wide size-range of benthic organisms. The classification of the biomass data into taxonomic groups revealed the following: (1) a zoobenthic biomass (mean=13 g ash-free dry wt m-2) that is high compared to values previously published for tropical systems, but fairly low compared to those recorded for medium and high latitudes; (2) a large macrophytic biomass (45% of ash-free dry wt); (3) dominance by weight of sponges, molluscs and cnidarians over the other faunal groups. The distribution of the biomass among the trophic groups revealed the following: (1) the dominance by weight of suspension-feeders, which account for 67% of the total zoobenthic ash-free dry wt; (2) the absence of trophic group amensalism between filter-feeders and deposit-feeders whatever the degree of bottom muddiness; (3) the existence of a relationship between the biomass of surface deposit-feeders and ATP at the surface layer of the sediment, suggesting that this group feeds preferentially on living particles. Differences in trophic structure between the muddy-bottom, greysand and white-sand communities of the lagoon reflect the functional characteristics of each bottom type.

    Knowledge, Self-Management, Compliance and Quality of Life in Asthma: A Cross-Sectional Study of the French Version of the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (1998)

    Notes: Abstract The Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) is a well-validated instrument. Our objectives were to explore the cross-sectional validity of the French version, using usual outcomes of asthma, as well as assessment of knowledge of asthma, self-management and compliance. A self-administered version of the AQLQ was given to 124 consecutive patients recruited from two out-patient clinics and an emergency room in order to reflect a wide range of asthma severity. The other outcomes of asthma measured were the FEV1, patient-perceived asthma severity using a visual analogue scale, compliance, knowledge of asthma condition and self-management autonomy. Correlations were predicted before analysis (+++ r 〉 0.5, strong correlation, ++ r = 0.35–0.5, moderate correlation and + r = 0.20–0.35, fair correlation). The AQLQ scores correlated moderately to strongly with asthma severity and fairly with the pulmonary function results. Of the behavioural outcomes assessed, only knowledge of asthma correlated fairly with the AQLQ scores, as expected. This study of the French version of the AQLQ, while showing similar cross-sectional correlations with functional assessment and asthma severity to those observed with the original English version, suggested in addition a positive association between quality of life and knowledge of asthma.

    Arome, a balloon-borne instrument for astronomical near-infrared spectrophotometry (1991)

    Notes: Abstract We present here the French balloon-borne experiment named AROME. This astronomical instrument is specifically designed for the detection of near infrared emission bands (λ=3–12μm) from extended sources of low surface brightness with an angular resolution of 0.5°. The rms sensitivity achieved is of the order of 10-8 Wm-2sr-1, in terms of the power radiated in the 3.3μm band. We recall that this program led to the first detection of the 3.3μm feature in the spectrum of the diffuse galactic emission. The scientific results were presented and interpreted in Paper I, Giard et al., 1989. Future work will include both the observation of fainter objects at 3.3μm and the detection of other emission bands at 6.2 and 11.3μm.
