quantified by isotopic non

Abstract-The ion microprobe has been used to determine the concentrations of a number oftrace elements (including all 14 stable rare earth elements) and the isotopic compositions of Ca and Mg in seven hibonite-rich refractory inclusions. Hibonite in every inclusion analyzed shows the effect of RAZE

and (2) the gas is near an abso-lute equilibrium — a spatially uniform, stationary state. When we consider regimes in which both the transport scales and Re vanish, we derive the weakly compressible Stokes approximation — a linear system. When we consider regimes in which the transport scales vanish

First, I would like to thank to Dimka Karastoyanova and Mariano Cilia for all the fruitful discussions, their guidance and support through the course of this project. Thanks also to Prof. Alejandro Buchmann who sponsored my stay at Technische Universität Darmstadt during the spring of 2004. The special thanks go to my advisor, Mariano Cilia, who has made all this possible. Finally, I’d like to thank to my family for all these years of support.

Cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude de la transition liquide/solide amorphe. Cette transition se retrouve dans des systèmes thermiques (par exemple dans les verres moléculaires) ou athermiques (avec entre autres les milieux granulaires), à l’équilibre thermodynamique ou hors équilibre. Nous

. RESULTS — Mean � SD values of A1C among subjects with normal glucose tolerance, IGT, and diabetes were 5.5 � 0.4, 5.9 � 0.6, and 8.3 � 2.0%, respectively (P trend � 0.001) with considerable overlap. To identify diabetes based on 2-h postload plasma glucose, the A1C cut point of 6.1 % had an area under
