Orthographic Depth Modulates Reading Route Selection: An Electrical Neuroimaging Study

Introduction
The orthographic Depth Hypothesis (Katz and Feldman, 1983) posits that different reading routes are engaged depending on the expertise of the reader but also on the type of grapheme/phoneme correspondence of the language being read. Shallow orthographies (e.g. German and Italian) with consistent grapheme to phoneme correspondences favor encoding via non-lexical pathways, where each phoneme is sequentially mapped to its corresponding grapheme. In contrast, deep orthographies (e.g. French and English), with inconsistent grapheme to phoneme correspondences favor lexical pathways, where phonemes are retrieved from memory structures. Only few studies investigated the impact of orthographic depth on brain response while reading. Moreover, because they used between subject or cross-language designs, the interpretability of previous studies on the effect of orthographic depth is limited. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of orthographic depth on reading route selection using an experimental design enabling isolating the effect of orthographic depth.

Method
We presented the same pseudowords (PWs) to highly proficient bilinguals and manipulated the orthographic depth of PW reading by embedding them among two separated language contexts (German and French), implicating either shallow or deep orthography. High density 128-channel electroencephalography was recorded during the task.

Results
The topographies of the event-related potential were different between PWs read in deep orthographic context and PWs read in shallow orthographic context at 300-360ms after stimulus onset, indicating distinct brain networks engaged in reading during this time window. The brain source underlying these topographic effects were located within left inferior frontal, left parietal and left cingular areas.

Conclusion
We propose that in deep orthographic context, reading PWs cannot rely on the routine lexical pathways and thus switching to the non-lexical route is necessary. In controast, reading in a shallow orthographic context favors non-lexical route processing which fits PW reading. The topographic modulation might thus reflect the recruitment of lexical pathways in the deep but not in the shallow context. Analysis of electrical source estimation over the period of topographic modulation supports this hypothesis by showing that inferior frontal areas, a region shown to subserve phonological processing, is differentially engaged between the deep vs shallow conditions. In addition, a difference in the activity of parietal-cingular areas suggests a modulation of attentional demands related to route selection processes. Non-lexical route may be less automatized than lexical route processing. These collective results support a modulation of reading route selection by orthographic depth.
Une Révolution pour tous ? Comment des femmes anglaises ont vécu et écrit la Révolution française : le cas de Mary Wollstonecraft et Helen Maria Williams

Le bouleversement de la Révolution française a secoué l’Europe entière. La société britannique est sans doute celle qui a le plus ressenti les conséquences de ces événements. Parmi les nombreux Anglais qui se sont interrogés sur l’impact et les conséquences de la Révolution, sur qui l’historiographie depuis longtemps se concentre, Mary Wollstonecraft et Helen Maria Williams constituent un cas d’étude particulièrement intéressant. Elles n’ont pas seulement joué un rôle important dans l’interprétation de la Révolution, mais aussi sur le front de la participation en décidant de s’installer à Paris pour voir de leurs propres yeux les événements de France. Étudier comment Mary Wollstonecraft et Helen Williams ont décrit et vécu la Révolution française permet de réfléchir à la construction du récit de la Révolution au prisme de leur regard de femmes et d’étrangères et de revendiquer l’agentivité de celles qui, comme Wollstonecraft et Williams, ont voyagé, écrit et pris la parole pour défendre leurs droits.
Energetics of biological systems

All living systems function out of thermodynamic equilibrium and require a continuous supply of energy. To understand how cells and organisms function, we need to determine how metabolic energy is partitioned among the complex array of cellular processes that are necessary for life at any scale, from isolated biochemical networks to quiescent and highly proliferative cells to organismal growth and development. To investigate the energetics of living systems, I established calorimetry to measure the energy exchanged in the form of heat between biological systems and their environment. By combining these measurements with specific perturbations, I have shown that the energetic costs associated with a given biological process can be calculated, and thus, provides a means towards understanding the energetics of biological systems. This proposal aims to understand the energetic costs of accurate cell signaling, and of homeostasis, proliferation, and growth of cells and organisms. It will further investigate how these biological systems are governed by energetic trade-offs. First, the trade-off between energy dissipation and accuracy of biochemical signaling pathways. Second, the trade-off between power and yield during cell growth and organismal development. Specifically, I will:
1)	Develop approaches to quantify the overall energetics of biological systems 
2)	Elucidate the role of energy dissipation on the accuracy and reproducibility of cell cycle signaling
3)	Determine how energetics drive embryonic development and cell growth    
This work will overcome the current lack of non-invasive techniques to quantitatively measure metabolic rates, especially rates of energy conversion and dissipation in biological systems. The results will yield quantitative thermodynamic data needed to determine the energetics of biological systems and will be essential for kinetic growth studies of normal and diseased systems.
Scoliosis after thoracotomy/sternotomy in children with congenital heart disease

Congenital heart disease (CHD) patients bear a higher risk of scoliosis during their lifetime compared to their normal counterparts. On the other hand, operation on chest wall has been shown to increase the risk of scoliosis. However, the data are inconclusive. The present retrospective analysis is undertaken to determine the frequency of post-thoracotomy/sternotomy scoliosis in children with CHD.One hundred and eighty children with CHD who underwent thoracotomy/sternotomy and had a minimum followup of 3 years in a teaching center from 1997 to 2010 were recruited. After operation, all the patients were regularly examined for the development of scoliosis. 102 patients underwent thoracotomy and 78 sternotomy. Student's t test, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analyses.Eighty-eight males and 92 females with a mean age of 9.95 ± 2.31 (range: 5-15) years were enrolled. The mean age at operation was 2.59 ± 1.66 (range: 0-9) years and the mean follow-up period was 7.36 ± 2.12 (range: 5-13) years. Scoliosis was confirmed in two patients (1.1%): 1 (1%) in the thoracotomy group (a 12-year-old female operated 2 years earlier with a spinal 22° convexity to the right and 78° kyphosis) and another (1.1%) in the sternotomy group (an 8-year-old female operated during her neonatal period with a spinal 23° convexity to the left).Scoliosis is not a common finding among the operated children with CHD in our center.
Circular Economy and Territorial Consequences

The current economy operates mainly on a ‘take-make-dispose’ model – a linear model where every product is bound to reach its ‘end of life’. This leads to a growing pressure of production and consumption on the world’s resources and environment. A circular economy model strives towards using and re-using our resources in a more resource efficient through preserving and enhancing natural capital, optimising natural resource yields by circulating products, components and materials, as well as fostering effective waste management and minimizing detrimental practices.The main objective of this service on Circular Economy is to provide evidence on the territorial dimension of the transition towards a Circular Economy and to provide evidence on local and regional patterns and flows of materials, including resources and waste. The analysis of the territorial dimension aims to cover changes in resource use, design, production, distribution, consumption and waste management. In addition, it aims to provide input to European regions and cities on their potential for implementing steps towards a circular economy.

Neither Bewitched nor Beguiled: Philip Augustus's Alleged Impotence and Innocent III's Response

Thus the author of the Gesta Innocentii described the reaction of Philip II Augustus (1180–1223) to his long-awaited bride on August 15, 1193, in the cathedral of Amiens, a reaction that would cause extended annulment proceedings spanning two pontificates over a period of almost twenty years and resulting in extensive papal intervention, especially that of Innocent III (1198–1216). We learn further from the Gesta that, to avoid scandal, some at the French court counseled postponement of the divorce, based initially on the grounds of affinity between Ingeborg and Philip's first wife. Still others encouraged the king to consummate his marriage, which the king attempted to do at Saint-Maur des Fosse, near Paris, where the Danish woman had been taken. All we know of that following fateful wedding night was that, after entering the conjugal bed, Philip soon departed and could barely hear about his wife thereafter. Whereas Ingeborg steadfastly claimed that her marriage had indeed been consummated, Philip mainta...

A methodology for inserting clock-management strategies in transaction-level models of systemon- chips

Due to the ever-increasing demands on energy efficiency, designers are struggling to construct efficient and correct power management strategies for complex System-on- Chips (SoCs). The validation of an efficient power intent for a SoC is challenging and should be considered at early stage of the electronic system-level (ESL) design flow. To tackle this issue, we propose a high-level modeling approach on top of SystemC/TLM standard allowing the control structure of a power intent to be described in relationship with a functional transaction-level model (TLM) of a SoC. We consider a separation of concern approach in order to make easier the exploration of power intents and the optimization of power consumption. In this paper, the focus is set on an abstract clock intent model through a generic library and a modeling methodology allowing the development of a power management strategy on top of a functional SystemC-TLM model of a virtual prototype. A case study is used to demonstrate by simulation experiments the efficiency of this approach illustrating its capability to analyze effects of power management on performance and power consumption.
The Comparative Analysis of Cushion or Shock Absorption Characteristic of Commonly-Used Cushion Packaging Materials

The purpose and method of this paper is to comparatively analyze several commonly-used cushion packaging materials, obtain their shock absorption characteristic curves, and by doing such, provide reference information for cushion packaging design and research. With the static test, dynamic compression test and vibration transfer test carried out, the cushion coefficient ~ static stress curve, maximal acceleration ~ static stress curve and vibration transfer rate ~ frequency curve are gained. A final conclusion is educed that in practical design routine, rational choice of cushion packaging materials, scientific design of packaging structure and validation of anti-vibration capability are relative to those three curves.
Disruptive high-performance polymers

Energy Majors are looking for new polymeric materials that provide exceptional performance in use (e.g. mechanical properties, durability, easy processing) in extreme environments conditions (offshore equipment, hydrogen storage tanks, etc). Yet, their options are limited as all existing materials have their limitations. Also, sustainability and carbon footprint are increasingly important for them.
DEMETA is an innovative French SME created in 2011 with the ambition to become a global leader in high-performance polymers synthesized through green chemistry. DEMETA will enter the Energy market with project i-CARE.
i-CARE’s disruptive high-performance polymer is branded NexTene™. It relies on a patented, green chemistry compliant catalyst, polymerizing a waste product from the petroleum industry (DCPD).
NexTene™ outperforms existing materials in extreme environments and has a 47% lower carbon footprint than epoxy and other conventional materials. NexTene™ will enable equipment for offshore equipment (windmill structures, pipelines coating, custom coating, buoyancy modules, etc.). To ensure rapid deployment, DEMETA has chosen a fabless business model, outsourcing in Europe its whole production (catalyst production and blending operations).
DEMETA has already started establishing partnerships with Energy Majors and key stakeholders of the energy ecosystem in Europe and abroad. 27 letters of intents from potential clients and stakeholders have been gathered.
Thanks to the Accelerator EIC i-CARE project, DEMETA will accelerate the remaining development and qualification tests to reach TRL 8 on NexTene™ applications. Thanks to the EC investors, we will start market deployment and reach TRL9 before 2022. I-CARE will contribute to Europe worldwide leadership in the high-performance polymers market.

Stprms - sustainable truck parking reservation management system

The daily need for truck parking spaces on motor-ways in Germany gets worse. Truck drivers search 1.5 hours to find a parking and drive to 8 parking spaces. Results: exceeding of allowed driving time, parking in gateways, accidents. In Germany 30,000 truck parking spaces are missing. Even with new build 11,000 spaces until 2015, the situation will not change dramatically. Until 2030 the commercial transport shall increase up to 39%. A truck parking reservation system is therefore necessary and overdue. Previous reservation systems like Truck Parking Europe could not be established successfully because of missing payment system, few participants and a huge personal effort at the rest stop to report free parking spaces. Apps like Fernfahrer from ETM help the truck driver to plan routes and find rest stops along the route, but without reservation option, there is just information. We developed a totally new system of reservation and payment of truck parking spaces at rest stops. Therefore we co-operate with 2 market leading partners: ETM with their ‘Fernfahrer-App’ and 40,000 truck drivers using it, as well as ATRP e.G. with 100 rest stops in an own prototype App. We revolutionize the market with using the existing surface of the Fernfahrer-App to plan the route. Now drivers find 3,000 parking spaces to reserve which we integrated from the e.G. The payment is done per SMS. No bank information is needed just cell phone number and provider. The reservation will then be forwarded to the rest stop, where the operator block the parking space with caps. The annual turnover with just 5 days of booking with reservation fee of 5.50 € will be 3.9 Million €. An expansion of the system to overall Europe is possible and planned for Phase 2. The main challenges are to develop a strategy for European commercialization and to build security parking spaces or electronic dispenser in Phase 2.

SHAPED MEMORY ALLOY DECKLID ACTUATOR

The invention is a decklid latch with a SMA actuator. The actuator includes a latch plate with a ratchet rotatably mounted to the latch plate and is pivotal between a released position and an engaged position operable to retain a striker. A pawl is rotatably mounted to the latch plate and is pivotal between a an engaged position operable to retain the ratchet, and a release position operable to allow the ratchet to pivot. An selectively-contractible wire is connected to the pawl by a lost motion connection and is operable to move the pawl to the release position when contracted to actuate the latch. Portions of the selectively contractible wire have been annealed to reduce brittleness. Multiple material crimps are used to further reduce strain on the selectively contractible wire.
