Neo-classical Realism in International Relations
Authors: Firoozabadi Jalal Dehghani , Ashkezari Mojtaba Zare
Published: May 2016

Neo-classical realism is result of foreign policy studies through studying both structure of international system and domestic factors and their complex interactions with each other. The main goal of neoclassical realism is to find out how distribution of power in international system, motivations and subjective structures of states toward international system shape their foreign policy. Neo-classical realists reject the idea of neo-realism in which it is argued that systemic pressures will immediately affect behaviours of units. They believe that the extend of systemic effects on states behaviour depends on relative power and also internal factors of states in anarchical system. This article is to study how neo-classical realism applies assumptions such as anarchy, effects of structure-agent, role of power in creating behaviours, national interests, survival and security in order to analyse international politics.
From Tractarian to Democrat: The Intellectual Formation of E. A. Freeman
Authors: Kirby James
Published: May 2016

One of the most striking features of E. A. Freeman’s life and thought is the contrast between the young Tractarian student of architecture and the mature liberal, even radical, historian. This essay explains that the transition from the one to the other was not a process of sudden conversion or rupture, but rather a natural development. To understand the crucial years c.1846–50, when Freeman’s thought was most in ferment, a number of his early, hitherto unidentified, publications have been tracked down, including his earliest published study of the Norman Conquest. From these sources, among others, it has been possible to reconstruct how his early medievalism and anti-Erastianism evolved into a general commitment to liberty, democracy, and republicanism, without repudiating the High Anglicanism of his youth. Though apparently idiosyncratic, this intellectual development was shared to some extent by a number of prominent Victorian liberals, not least Gladstone himself.
‘Seeing Things With Our Own Eyes’: E. A. Freeman’s Historical Travels
Authors: Aird William M.
Published: May 2016

Edward A. Freeman travelled extensively throughout his life and was far from being a sedentary gentleman-scholar confined to his country residence at Somerleaze, Somerset. According to Freeman, the successful historian needed to see the places about which he wrote. His historical travels took him to all parts of Europe, into North Africa and to the United States. Freeman’s foreign tours were carefully organised and conducted with the central purpose of informing and guiding his historical work. Over many years, Freeman developed a methodology for his historical travels that he seems to have applied consistently. On occasion, his travels took him into dangerous regions, such as Dalmatia in the late 1870s. Edward Freeman’s travels reflected his interest in historical geography and his recognition of the importance of place in the study of the past marks him out as one of the pioneers of the so-called ‘spatial turn’ in modern historiography.
The Consolations of Amero-Teutonism: E. A. Freeman’s Tour of the United States, 1881–2
Authors: Conlin Jonathan
Published: May 2016

In 1881, E. A. Freeman sailed across the Atlantic, one of a number of British historians, scientists, and literary figures to tour the United States in the period between the Civil War and 1900. For Freeman the financial rewards of touring were balanced by onerous press scrutiny and unwelcome competition from rival celebrities, notably Oscar Wilde. Freeman’s lectures were intended to remind his American audiences of what he insisted was a shared Anglo-American history, one founded in racialist celebration of the birthright of free Teutons. Although resisted by Irish-Americans and those who insisted on American exceptionalism, Freeman’s views were shared by fellow Britons such as James Bryce and Charles Kingsley, as well as by founding fathers of the history as an academic discipline in the United States. This view reassured Britons concerned at the rise of the United States and shaped the understanding of the ‘special relationship’ in both countries.
E. A. Freeman and the Culture of the Gothic Revival
Authors: Miele Chris
Published: May 2016

This essay looks at E. A. Freeman’s involvement in the Oxford Architectural Society, which provided him with the platform to develop as an architectural historian and writer. The varied interests of the OAS influenced Freeman’s approach to the history of medieval architecture alongside Thomas Arnold’s new philosophy of history. This contribution is set against the backdrop of Oxford in the 1840s and the rapid changes the City and University were experiencing. The OAS also provided Freeman with the opportunity to meet architects and even to act as a client in the restoration of Dorchester Abbey, which the OAS promoted from 1846, eventually using William Butterfield as architect. This experience encouraged Freeman to write about the theory of monument care, which is perhaps his most enduring contribution to the culture of the Gothic Revival.
E. A. Freeman and G. G. Scott: An Episode in the Influence of Ideas
Authors: Bremner G. A.
Published: May 2016

This essay examines the long known but little studied relationship between E. A. Freeman and George Gilbert Scott (1811–78), one of the foremost architects of the Victorian age. Given his interests in architecture, it was only natural that Freeman would be drawn within the ambit of the key practitioners of his day. It is argued that the close friendship that developed between Freeman and Scott from the early 1840s influenced appreciably the latter’s historical conception of architecture, thus affecting his architectural output, both theoretical and practical. Their engagement over such topical issues as the ‘national question’ in British architecture, John Ruskin, the cultural origins and significance of Gothic architecture, and the debate over style, particularly with regard to the New Government Offices (1857–68), Whitehall, are all discussed. It is concluded that Freeman’s ideas, despite being overshadowed by those of Ruskin and the Ecclesiologists, had a wider impact in the world of Victorian architecture than previously thought.
A Liberal Descent? E. A. Freeman’s Invention of Racial Traditions
Authors: Koditschek Theodore
Published: May 2016

This essay explores some of the ways in which E. A. Freeman’s 19th-century political investments shaped his approach to history. Like other liberals, Freeman read history as the story of progress. But it was racial more than material progress that drove his vision of history forward. For Freeman, the superiority of Aryans over other races, of Teutons over other Aryans, and of Anglo-Saxons over other Teutons was the product of their respective histories. Paradoxically, it was the Anglo-Saxons’ penchant for racial purity that especially fitted them for their career of political evolution and institutional hybridity. For this reason Freeman was inclined to see Britain’s 19th-century empire as a trap, luring the superior Anglo-Saxons into the temptation of miscegenation, wasting their strength in missionary outreach to savages, and into an enervating alliance with the hated Ottoman Turk. His Comparative Politics (1873), Historical Geography of Europe (1881), and History of Sicily (1891–4) were all warnings in this regard.
Levantine Epigraphy and History in the Achaemenid Period (539-322 BCE)
Authors: Lemaire André
Published: May 2016

Since 1980, epigraphic discoveries and researches have thrown new light on the Levant during the Achaemenid period (533-332 BCE). As an epigrapher who published many new Phoenician, Aramaic and Hebrew inscriptions André Lemaire shows how these inscriptions illuminate the history and daily life of the Persian period Phoenicians, Israelites and Idumeans. Thanks to them, it is now possible to know more precisely the history of the four Phoenician kingdoms (Aradus, Byblos, Sidon and Tyre) and of the Cisjordan provinces (Samaria, Judaea and Idumaea) as well as the way of life of Judean groups in the Diaspora (Babylonia, Egypt, Cyprus); they also provide new light on several aspects of the Biblical literary tradition. Profusely illustrated, the book shows how important these various inscriptions are for Biblical Studies and historical researches on the Levant during a period still too often qualified as ‘obscure’ but more and more illuminated now by contemporary documents
West Semitic Epigraphy and the Judaean Diaspora during the Achaemenid Period: Babylonia, Egypt, Cyprus
Authors: Lemaire André
Published: May 2016

After the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar (587 BCE), most of the Judean elite (family of king Jehoiachin, civil and military servants, technicians) lived in Babylonia. New cuneiform tablets reveal that they mostly staid in Babylonian villages (al-Yāhūdu, Bît-Abīram, Našar); they were mainly holders of bow-fields but a few ones became dēkū officials. Some of these new documents present West Semitic labels and reveal that the deportees kept, at least for some time, their Hebrew culture even though they apparently used Aramaic and Neo-Babylonian deeds in their daily life. In Egypt, numerous Aramaic papyri and ostraca from Elephantine reveal that the Judean garrison staying there was strongly aramaicized even though they prayed and sacrificed in a Yaho temple and kept their Judean ethnicity. A few funerary stelae discovered in Ayios Georghiou at Larnaca-Kition (Cyprus) reveal the presence of Judean people there, apparently practicing mixed marriages.
Premature polyadenylation of MAGI3 produces a dominantly-acting oncogene in human breast cancer
Authors: Ni Thomas K , Kuperwasser Charlotte
Published: May 2016

Genetic mutation, chromosomal rearrangement and copy number amplification are common mechanisms responsible for generating gain-of-function, cancer-causing alterations. Here we report a new mechanism by which premature cleavage and polyadenylation (pPA) of RNA can produce an oncogenic protein. We identify a pPA event at a cryptic intronic poly(A) signal in MAGI3, occurring in the absence of local exonic and intronic mutations. The altered mRNA isoform, called MAGI3pPA, produces a truncated protein that acts in a dominant-negative manner to prevent full-length MAGI3 from interacting with the YAP oncoprotein, thereby relieving YAP inhibition and promoting malignant transformation of human mammary epithelial cells. We additionally find evidence for recurrent expression of MAGI3pPA in primary human breast tumors but not in tumor-adjacent normal tissues. Our results provide an example of how pPA contributes to cancer by generating a truncated mRNA isoform that encodes an oncogenic, gain-of-function protein.
The Kuroshio bifurcation associated with islands at the Luzon Strait
Authors: Sun Ruili , Wang Guihua , Chen Changlin
Published: May 2016

Based upon a suite of satellite and hydrology data along with numerical model simulations, the Kuroshio is found to be separated into two branches. The two branches are located on the western and eastern sides of the Batanes Islands. The western branch, which is the main branch of the Kuroshio, is estimated to carry roughly 68% of the transport, while the eastern branch, which has not been reported before, carries the remainder. Both branches bring warmer water northward, producing two separate warm tongues east of the Luzon Strait. The western warm tongue has an obvious seasonal variation due to the seasonal variation of the Kuroshio in the northern Luzon Strait, while the eastern warm tongue is associated with Pacific mesoscale eddies. As an anticyclonic (a cyclonic) eddy approaches the Batanes Islands from the east, the eastern branch of the Kuroshio is strongly intensified (weakened), and a more (less) pronounced warm tongue is induced. Consequently, interannual variability of Pacific mesoscale eddies affects the strength of the eastern branch.
Spatiotemporal patterns in methane flux and gas transfer velocity at low wind speeds: Implications for upscaling studies on small lakes
Authors: Schilder J. , Bastviken D. , van Hardenbroek M. , Heiri O.
Published: May 2016

Lakes contribute significantly to the global natural emissions of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide. However, to accurately incorporate them into the continental carbon balance more detailed surveys of lacustrine greenhouse gas emissions are needed, especially in respect to spatiotemporal variability and to how this affects the upscaling of results. We investigated CH4 flux from a small, wind‐shielded lake during 10 field trips over a 14 month period. We show that floating chambers may be used to calibrate the relationship between gas transfer velocity (k) and wind speed at 10 m height (U10) to the local system, in order to obtain more accurate estimates of diffusive CH4 flux than by applying general models predicting k based on U10. We confirm earlier studies indicating strong within‐lake spatial variation in this relationship and in ebullitive CH4 flux within the lake basin. However, in contrast to the pattern reported in other studies, ebullitive CH4 flux was highest in the central parts of the lake. Our results indicate positive relationships between k and U10 at very low U10 (0–3 m s−1), which disagrees with earlier suggestions that this relationship may be negligible at low U10 values. We estimate annually averaged open water CH4 emission from Lake Gerzensee to be 3.6–5.8 mmol m−2 d−1. Our data suggest that estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from aquatic systems to the atmosphere based on the upscaling of short‐term and small‐scale measurements can be improved if both spatial and temporal variabilities of emissions are taken into account.

Authors: Liu Yuxin , Guo Quanwei , Zhu Xingjun , Feng Wei , Wang Lu , Ma Liyi , Zhang Ge , Zhou Jing , Li Fuyou
Published: May 2016

Imaging‐guided photothermal therapy based on functional nanomaterials has recently received significant attention and the selection of functional materials with optimal imaging and therapy effect is extremely important. In this work, NaDyF4‐based nanoparticles with varying size are synthesized by doping with different amounts of lutetium ions. To obtain an optimized material, the influence factor of magnetic resonance, X‐ray attenuation, and photothermal properties are discussed in detail. Then, NaDyF4:50%Lu@Prussian blue (PB) nanocomposite is selected as the optimal functional material for T1‐ and T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging, X‐ray computed tomography, and photothermal imaging‐guided photothermal therapy of tumor on a small animal model, and the treatment is applied with good results. Studies also suggest that the NaDyF4:50%Lu@PB nanocomposites are biocompatibile. The selection of an optimal material from a multi‐perspective study has provided an incentive for the development of an assortment of novel multifunctional materials for early cancer multifunctional diagnosis and imaging‐guided photothermal therapy.
Inducing arbitrary vapor pressures, and quantifying leakages
Authors: Tadmor Rafael , Wasnik Priyanka S. , N'guessan Hartmann E. , Tadmor Rafael , Tadmor Maria
Published: May 2016

We generalize the Maxwell drop evaporation equation to cover the range from closed system to open system through semiclosed system where the evaporation is restricted to an arbitrary degree which we show how to characterize. We first consider a suspended drop, and then a drop contacting a surface where the surface's vicinity restricts the evaporation paths. We show how to use these results to obtain arbitrary values of vapor pressure by simple manipulations of the numbers and sizes of droplets added to the system for a constant leak size, or, alternatively, control the leak size with a valve for given sizes of drops. We further show how to use this result to quantify a leakage in a system. Such a leakage is characterized using a single parameter (leakage length) which the described method calibrates. The calibrated leakage length can be used for systematic control of vapor concentrations within the chamber. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 4548–4553, 2016
Visualized Collective Memories: Social Representations of History in Images Found in Finnish History Textbooks
Authors: Hakoköngäs Eemeli , Sakki Inari
Published: May 2016

This study focuses on visual collective memory, a topic that has long been neglected in the social sciences and particularly in social psychological research on social representations of history. It explores the contents and meanings of images in the construction of Finnish national history. Through examination of official history writing, a better understanding is sought of how collective memory is constructed as part of history politics. The data for the present study consist of images (N = 541) included in recent textbooks on Finnish history. Barthes' three‐meaning approach is used in combination with qualitative content analysis to examine a large corpus of images. The visualized collective memory is approached from five perspectives: (i) the years of memory; (ii) the places of memory; (iii) the themes of memory; (iv) the main actors and (v) the silence of memory. The investigation shows that, in official discourse, politics, culture and war are the main contents of Finnish visual collective memory. The key actors in the narrative are politicians, especially the eighth president of Finland, Urho Kekkonen. The most important moments in time are situated in the war years 1918 and 1939, while the geographical focus is the central square in the capital, Helsinki. The result is a national history that is positive, homogeneous and exclusive. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: May 2016

Rig‐space physics a finite element method(FEM) based simulation technique that aims at adding secondary motion on a character while maintaining seamless cooperation with traditional animation pipelines. We enhance the rig‐space physics by introducing several techniques, including general field interaction, proportional‐derivative control, and improved material control. This allows an animator to perform various interferences to the simulation process and create more abundant animation effects. Moreover, we also improve the numerical stability of the simulation algorithm by prepending a conjugate gradient procedure. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: May 2016

A facile one‐step method to shape covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) for catalytic applications is reported. Phase inversion of the CTF powder by using a polyimide as a binder in a microfluidic device results in the formation of composite spheres with accessible CTF porosity and a high mechanical and thermal stability. The fabricated spheres can be used to host organometallic complexes. The obtained shaped catalysts, Ir@CTF spheres, are active and fully recyclable in the direct hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into formic acid under mild reaction conditions (20 bar and 50–90 °C) and in the dehydrogenation of formic acid.
