Dès le début de son oeuvre, Kubrick s’est démarqué des styles hollywoodiens dominants, privilégiant la recherche de la singularité et de la nouveauté. C’est ainsi qu’il élabore son odyssée de l’espace, destinée à révolutionner la science-fiction. Nourri de plusieurs films des années 1950, qu’il améliore techniquement, 2001 puise dans les registres des cinémas expérimental et scientifique, comme dans la musique classique, avec l’idée, a priori paradoxale, d’un g

La prise de notes et son exploitation (video)
La prise de notes doit être un outil au service d'un travail efficace, qu'il est utile d'améliorer. Elle est le reflet de ce qu'on a besoin de savoir.

Isolating Multiple Strains of Escherichia coli for Coliphage Isolation, Phage-typing, and Mutant Rec
Recovery of Escherichia coli from a rectal swab begins a series of procedures combining mastery of technique with productive experiments. After isolating his/her own E. coli strain, each student recovers a unique coliphage from raw sewage and determines its host range, thereby revealing the genetic individuality of each bacterial and viral isolate. Colonies of virus-resistant mutants can often be recovered in regions where sensitive bacteria have been destroyed. After antibiotic sensitivity test
