abstract = {L'objectif de cet article consiste à identifier les enjeux de la différenciation selon le genre dans l'accompagnement collectif de la femme potentiellement créatrice. A partir d'une démarche abductive, nous montrons que la mise en place de collectifs de femmes, dans la phase ante-création, est génératrice de confiance en soi. Le caractère bienveillant, empathique et non compétitif du groupe exclusivement féminin facilite, pour certaines femmes candidates à la création, la déconstruction de stéréotypes de genre sur l'entrepreneuriat féminin et atténue le sentiment de culpabilité lié à la difficulté à concilier projet entrepreneurial et vie familiale. En d'autres termes, la participation de la femme potentiellement créatrice à un collectif féminin répond à un besoin psychologique d'approbation externe qui peut faire défaut, notamment au sein de la famille. Toutefois, la pratique de l'accompagnement collectif au féminin dans la phase ante-création présente certaines limites. Ces dernières résultent de l'importance accordée par certaines femmes à la mise en place d'un environnement mixte pour le partage d'expériences entrepreneuriales diverses et le développement de réseaux d'affaires.},

abstract = {Nowadays, dental numerical controlled (NC) milling machines are available for dental laboratories (labside solution) and dental production centers. This article provides a mechanical engineering approach to NC milling machines to help dental technicians understand the involvement of technology in digital dentistry practice. The technical and economic criteria are described for four labside and two production center dental NC milling machines available on the market. The technical criteria are focused on the capacities of the embedded technologies of milling machines to mill prosthetic materials and various restoration shapes. The economic criteria are focused on investment cost and interoperability with third-party software. The clinical relevance of the technology is discussed through the accuracy and integrity of the restoration. It can be asserted that dental production center milling machines offer a wider range of materials and types of restoration shapes than labside solutions, while labside solutions offer a wider range than chairside solutions. The accuracy and integrity of restorations may be improved as a function of the embedded technologies provided. However, the more complex the technical solutions available, the more skilled the user must be. Investment cost and interoperability with third-party software increase according to the quality of the embedded technologies implemented. Each private dental practice may decide which fabrication option to use depending on the scope of the practice.},

abstract = {Statement of problem. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) machining influences the surface roughness of dental restorations and tool wear. Roughness must be suitable to meet clinical requirements, and the tool must last as long as possible. Purpose. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the influence of the CAD/CAM toolmaterial couple on tool wear and surface roughness after milling. Material and methods. Three tools (Lyra conical tool Ø1 mm; GACD SASU, Lyra conical tool Ø1.05 mm; GACD SASU, and Cerec cylinder pointed tool 12S; Sirona Dental Systems GmbH) and 3 CAD/CAM materials (Lava Ultimate; 3M ESPE, Mark II; VITA Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH, and Enamic; VITA Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH) were tested. The tool wear of 6 tool-material couples at a feed rate of 2 m/min was analyzed before and after 8 minutes of flank and climb milling with optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations and tool weighing. The surface roughness after milling was observed for 9 tool-material couples for flank and climb milling. Feed rates of 1, 2, 3, and 4.8 m/min were used for each couple. Ra, Rt, Rz, Sa, Sq, and Sz roughness criteria were measured. A paired comparison of tool-material couples was conducted with the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results. The Mark II material led to more severe tool wear. Milling of Lava Ultimate resulted in chip deposits on the tool grit. The Cerec cylinder pointed tool 12S was less worn for each material tested. The Cerec cylinder pointed tool 12S and the Lyra conical tool Ø1.05 mm provided similar roughness measurements for the 3 materials tested. The Lyra conical tool Ø1.05 mm tool provided better roughness than the Lyra conical tool Ø1 mm tool for the Enamic material. Conclusion. Tool lifetime calculated by volume of milled material removed should be the measure

provided by CAD/CAM manufacturers instead of a number of blocks. This tool lifetime should be

provided for the milling conditions associated with the material milled. Material hardness and tool grit are key factors for achieving a given roughness.},

The purpose of this work is to investigate the residual stress distribution induced by laser shock process-

element simulation. The method of X-ray diffraction is extensively used to characterize the crystallo-

graphic texture and the residual stress crystalline materials at different scales (macroscopic, mesoscopic

and microscopic).

Shock loading and materials' dynamic response are experimentally analysed using Doppler velocimetry

in order to use adequate data for the simulation. Then systematic experience versus simulation compar-

isons are addressed, considering first a single impact loading, and in a second step the laser shock

processing treatment of an extended area, with a specific focus on impact overlap. Experimental and

numerical results indicate a residual stress anisotropy, and a better surface stress homogeneity with

an increase of impact overlap.

A correct agreement is globally shown between experimental and simulated residual stress values,

even if simulations provide us with local stress values whereas X-ray diffraction determinations give

averaged residual stresses.},

Although synergies between a firm's businesses may exist, problems can arise in the sharing of key resources and capabilities as the firm attempts to exploit the synergies. To achieve success in related diversification, firms often leverage their organizational slack, or resources and capabilities that are in excess of the level demanded by their normal operations. However, sharing is difficult when firms have insufficient organizational slack, and this can lead to an overstretching of shared resources. Through case study methodology, this paper investigates how one technological SME managed its limited organizational slack while engaged in related diversification. Particular attention is given to the mechanisms that contribute to diversification failure. Consideration is also given to how the capability life-cycle may affect capability sharing in related diversification efforts.},

    Employing a panel dataset at the aggregate country-level, the study is conducted using the generalised least squares (GLS) model.



    The findings suggest that Indian FDI patterns vary over time in line with Indian economic and structural transformations. The patterns also differ between the home country groups in line with their economic development and geographic location relative to India. The desirable patterns of Indian inward FDI are determined not only the development levels of both host and home countries but also the host country's factor endowment pattern.



    It is important for the Indian government to formulate selective targeting FDI policies to maximise economic impact of inward FDI by attracting more desirable efficiency-seeking FDI for higher economic growth.},

function, the constraints, and the pertinent design variables to use in the optimization

problem which consist in reducing the sound power transmitted by a viscoelastically

damped sandwich plate. Next, by constraining the acoustical behavior of the sandwich panel,

the surface mass of the sandwich structure was minimized. It is shown that a significant

reduction in the transmitted sound power can be achieved by selecting the appropriate

High beta elliptical cavities are thus of concern and, to achieve required performances for such resonators, surface preparation including electropolishing is recommended. We have designed and operate a setup for electropolishing in the vertical position of multicell cavities in order to: (i) obtain high yield with large elliptical cavities for Superconducting Linac (SPL) or European Spallation Source

projects; (ii) develop a reference installation demonstrating that this process is appropriate for the large scale treatment of cavities in industry. The setup described here is the first one able to electropolish vertically multicell cavities with circulating acid and high safety standards. This equipment makes it possible to use a wide range of parameters such as voltage, acid flow rate, temperature, and nitrogen injection with an R&D purpose in mind. Optimization is studied using modeling with COMSOL software for different cavities. As examples, we present some results for the 704 MHz high-beta SPL cavity and the 1300 MHz International Linear Collider cavity and show the influence of cathode shape on both acid flow and electric field distribution during the process. Importance of the size of the cavity and first results achieved on single-cell and nine-cell cavities will be discussed.},

L'entrepreneuriat international a été initialement appréhendé dans le cadre des entreprises « Born Global » (Rennie, 1993 ; Sharma et Blomstermo, 2003 ; Knight et Cavusgil, 2004 ; Rialp et al., 2005) ou « International New Ventures » (McDougall et Oviatt, 1994, 2005 ; McDougall et al. 1994). Cette attractivité tient beaucoup à ce qu'il profite d'une fertilisation croisée de deux champs de recherche : l'Entrepreneuriat et le Management International (McDougall et Oviatt, 2000). Ce champ récent est encore en plein développement, comme en témoignent la création en 2003 de la revue Journal of International Entrepreneurship et l'organisation annuelle de la Conférence internationale en entrepreneuriat international de l'Université de McGill. En France, un groupe thématique de recherche dans ce domaine a été mis en place en mai 2011 au sein de l'Académie de l'Entrepreneuriat et de l'Innovation. L'essor des recherches en EI se comprend empiriquement par la multiplication en parallèle au cours de ces dernières années du nombre de PME se lançant à l'assaut des marchés étrangers, même si les statistiques sont encore rares sur le sujet (OCDE, 2008 ; Coeurderoy et Bacq, 2012).},

additional technological advantage. Seen from this perspective, the internationalization process can be said to be a

catalyst for innovation. However, the consumption of resources and the need for expertise generated by the

simultaneous pursuit of these two development strategies can lead to conflict and constraint for an SME in terms of

allocation of both resources and competencies. The relationship between innovation and internationalization can

particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries. This technique requires design tools in order to select the

best location, type and thickness of the damping and constraining-layer materials for optimum damping while

minimizing the total weight of the damping treatments. In this study, a numerical tool is presented to analyze the

vibration response of plates partially or fully covered with a constrained viscoelastic damping material. This tool

is based on a finite element approach. The undamped plate structure is modeled using a discrete Kirchhoff theory

(DKT) element. However, a sandwich plate element is specially derived to model the damped plate structure.

This element is formulated in such a way that it is compatible with the DKT element. The natural frequencies

and modal loss factors are derived from the modal strain energy method. The proposed approach is validated

by comparing predictions with the results of various examples published in the literature. Hence, this approach

is shown to predict accurately the damping characteristics of arbitrarily shaped sandwich plates, with different

material properties and boundary conditions, fully or partially covered with constrained viscoelastic layers. The

influence of the damping patch locations and the viscoelastic material's shear modulus on the vibration and

damping characteristics is investigated. To damp the plate effectively using partial coverage, the damping patches

must be distributed appropriately. To select the best damping patch locations, an indicator based on the energy

dissipated through the viscoelastic layer is proposed.},

Le présent article recense les principaux facteurs explicatifs de l'homogénéisation des compétences et identifie les barrières à leur imitation. Une lecture dynamique du processus d'imitation au sein d'un secteur est proposée dans une première partie. L'analyse se base sur le concept du cycle de vie de la compétence. La deuxième partie insiste sur trois catégories de facteurs explicatifs de l'homogénéisation des compétences : la recherche de l'efficience, le développement d'un consensus cognitif entre concurrents et la maturité du secteur. Cette homogénéisation peut néanmoins être réduite via l'institution de barrières à l'imitation des compétences. Enfin, une analyse des tensions subies par le secteur en fonction du degré d'innovation implémentée par les acteurs est exposée en dernière partie.},

abstract = {This paper presents a finite element formulation to analyze the vibro-acoustic response of plates with

constrained-layer damping treatment. This formulation takes into account the effects of fluid loading.

The governing coupled structural/acoustic equations of motion are solved using a modal approach combined

with an interpolation technique of the reduced radiation impedance matrix components of the

fluid. The numerical results show the accuracy of the proposed approach. In addition, a parametric study

is carried out to highlight the influence of geometrical and material variables on the damping characteristics,

which could be used as design parameters for the optimization problem.},
