Real-Time Data-Processing Framework with Model Updating for Digital Twins of Water Treatment Facilities
Authors: Wei Yuying , Law Adrian Wing-Keung , Yang Chun
Published: November 2022

Machine learning (ML) models are now widely used in digital twins of water treatment facilities. These models are commonly trained based on historical datasets, and their predictions serve various important objectives, such as anomaly detection and optimization. While predictions from the trained models are being made continuously for the digital twin, model updating using newly available real-time data is also necessary so that the twin can mimic the changes in the physical system dynamically. Thus, a synchronicity framework needs to be established in the digital twin, which has not been addressed in the literature so far. In this study, a novel framework with new coverage-based algorithms is proposed to determine the necessity and timing for model updating during real-time data transfers to improve the ML performance over time. The framework is tested in a prototype water treatment facility called the secure water treatment (SWaT) system. The results show that the framework performs well in general to synchronize the model updates and predictions, with a significant reduction in errors of up to 97%. The good performance can be attributed particularly to the coverage-based updating algorithms which control the size of training datasets to accelerate the ML model updating during synchronization.
ALKBH4 Stabilization Is Required for Arsenic-Induced 6mA DNA Methylation Inhibition, Keratinocyte Malignant Transformation, and Tumorigenicity
Authors: Cui Yan-Hong , Wilkinson Emma , Peterson Jack , He Yu-Ying
Published: November 2022

Inorganic arsenic is one of the well-known human skin carcinogens. However, the molecular mechanism by which arsenic promotes carcinogenesis remains unclear. Previous studies have established that epigenetic changes, including changes in DNA methylation, are among the critical mechanisms that drive carcinogenesis. N6-methyladenine (6mA) methylation on DNA is a widespread epigenetic modification that was initially found on bacterial and phage DNA. Only recently has 6mA been identified in mammalian genomes. However, the function of 6mA in gene expression and cancer development is not well understood. Here, we show that chronic low doses of arsenic induce malignant transformation and tumorigenesis in keratinocytes and lead to the upregulation of ALKBH4 and downregulation of 6mA on DNA. We found that reduced 6mA levels in response to low levels of arsenic were mediated by the upregulation of the 6mA DNA demethylase ALKBH4. Moreover, we found that arsenic increased ALKBH4 protein levels and that ALKBH4 deletion impaired arsenic-induced tumorigenicity in vitro and in mice. Mechanistically, we found that arsenic promoted ALKBH4 protein stability through reduced autophagy. Together, our findings reveal that the DNA 6mA demethylaseALKBH4 promotes arsenic tumorigenicity and establishes ALKBH4 as a promising target for arsenic-induced tumorigenesis.

The characterization of prospective plants is one of the critical issues in the efficiency and success of the phytoremediation process. Due to adaption and tolerance to different environmental stresses, native plant species have priority in this method. This study examined fifty plants of five species, namely Launaea acanthodes, Artemisia sp., Cousinia congesta, Peganum harmala, and Stipa sp., growing near a smelter and refinery in Iran to identify potential species for phytoextraction and phytostabilization. Therefore, Pb, Ni, Mn, Mo, S, and Cu concentrations in sampled plants and soils were analyzed. Three different pollution indices, namely metal accumulation index (MAI), translocation factor (TF), and bioconcentration factor (BCF) were used for evaluating the metal concentrations in roots and shoots of each plant species. The results indicated that Artemisia sp., with values of 3.21, 1.09, and 1.14 for MAI, BCF, and TF, respectively, is appropriate for phytoextraction in the study area. Plants such as Launaea acanthodes and Cousinia congesta with high BCF and low TF values showed the potential for phytostabilization. Investigating the indices for different elements demonstrated that Launaea acanthodes had a BCF value greater than 1 and a TF value less than 1; therefore, this plant could be used in the phytoremediation of arsenic through the phytostabilization technique. Furthermore, copper has very low bioavailability in these plant species. In addition, these native plant species were highly capable of accumulating sulfur from the soil because the BCF and TF indices for all inspected species were higher than 1; for Launaea acanthodes, the relevant TF value was about 10. The proposed native plant could be applied in practical applications of phytoremediation for soil remediation of contaminated sites around the metal factories and mines in southeastern Iran.
A Data Assimilation Approach to the Modeling of 3D Hydrodynamic Flow Velocity in River Reaches
Authors: Sun Yixiang , Zhang Lu , Liu Jiufu , Lin Jin , Cui Qingfeng
Published: November 2022

The measurement of river discharge is essential for sustainable water resource management. The velocity–area approach is the most common method for calculating river discharge. Although several velocity measurement methods exist, they often have varying degrees of technical issues attributed to their operational complexity, time effectiveness, accuracy, and environmental impact. To address these issues, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic model coupled with data assimilation (DA) for velocity measurement with improved accuracy and efficiency. We then apply this model to the Lanxi River reach in Zhejiang Province, China. The experimental results confirm that the obtained assimilated velocities using our proposed algorithm are much closer to the observed velocities than the simulated velocities. Our results show that when using the proposed method, the RMSE is decreased by 78%, and the SKILL and DASS values are 0.96 and 0.92, respectively. These confirm that the DA scheme of the flow velocity measurement is effective and capable of significantly improving the accuracy of the velocity with lower computational complexity.
Contribution of the Reconstruction of the Area of Seling Co Lake Using DEM Data and Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Variations
Authors: Liu Panpan , Jing Haitao , Zhang Dapeng , Tang Jingying , Liu Qi , Luan Wenfei
Published: November 2022

Seling Co Lake, located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has been expanding rapidly since the 1980s and, in 2008, surpassed Namtso Lake to become the largest lake in Tibet. Additionally, this rapid expansion has significantly impacted the ecological environment, and human activities surround the lake. Thus, it is of great importance to reveal the expansion pattern of Seling Co Lake for a long time-series. Previous studies always contained errors when exploring this subject due to the limitations associated with the quality of remote sensing images. To overcome the existing deficiency, a method based on the SRTM1 DEM and a water frequency Landsat-series dataset is developed to reconstruct the complete inundation area of Seling Co Lake from 1987 to 2021 while taking full advantage of the relationship between the water frequency and terrain. The results show that the water frequency reconstruction model proposed in this study has a significant optimization effect on the restoration of the permanent and seasonal water areas of Seling Co Lake. In particular, the proposed method can effectively improve the underestimated water-frequency pixel values of the seasonal waters located on the southern and northern shores of Seling Co Lake. The water-inundation area of Seling Co Lake showed an overall increasing trend with a rate of 26.02 km2∙year−1 (p < 0.01), and this expansion trend was mainly concentrated in the southern and northern parts of the lake. This study cannot only provide an efficient and feasible remote sensing means of reconstructing the water-inundation area for lakes in complex terrain according to topographic conditions but also greatly refines our understanding of the annual variations in the water-inundation area of Lake Seling Co.
Discharge and Water Quality of the River Moselle from 1990 to 2020 as Related to Climatic Changes and De-Industrialization
Authors: Franzaring Jürgen
Published: November 2022

Reductions in industrial pollutant loads and the introduction and modernization of wastewater treatment facilities have improved the quality of inland waters in Europe and elsewhere, but climatic change, changes in runoff and the legacy of mine wastes may increase pressures on many aquatic environments. In the present study, data obtained by monitoring the French–German river are collated to visualize long-term trends in the pollution, river discharges and temperatures of Moselle waters. While air temperatures and accumulated heat sums in the catchment area showed an upward trend, precipitation and discharge levels as well as river temperatures were less affected by the ongoing climatic change. At the same time, the electric conductivity, i.e., the total suspended solids, did not show the anticipated reductions, while oxygen levels and pH values have showed upward trends since the 1990s. Despite the improvements in classical water quality parameters, the flooding of abandoned mines, increased water abstraction for cooling and agriculture and untreated old and emerging pollutants may aggravate environmental problems in the future. Climatic change will probably modify the runoff of pollutant loads by increasing the severity of flash floods and by concentrating water pollutants in drought spells.
Consequences of COVID-19 on Education and Work of Young Adults: An Expert and Peer Interview Study in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland of Their Perspectives on the Past, Present and Future
Authors: Egger Manuela , Huber Stephan Gerhard
Published: November 2022

Young adults have experienced significant changes and cutbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated how young adults from Germany, Austria and Switzerland experienced their educational and vocational situation in the past and how they see their current situation and their future. The data was collected through expert and peer interviews, i.e., that some of our 17- to 20-years old interviewees were trained after the expert interview to conduct interviews with their peers themselves. The analysis shows challenges such as concerns over the socially perceived worthlessness of degrees during COVID-19, the prospective fear of difficulty in making contacts when starting in a new place, or the loss of motivation due to perceived omnipresence of school in everyday life. Changes such as a lack of communal celebration of graduation due to the elimination of school-based graduation activities, or developing independence after a distance learning experience due to required personal responsibility, could be seen. They used a variety of coping strategies, for example confrontive coping, distancing, seeking social support or escape-avoidance.

Bread and bakery products are among the basic foods in Russia. Among the subjects of the Russian Federation 23 regions have seen an increase in the consumption of bread products in 2017–2020, leaders in consumption growth became the Astrakhan region, Republic of Ingushetia, the Chechen Republic and the Krasnodar Territory. These regions traditionally have a high consumption of bread products (10–19% higher than the Russian average). In addition, in the above North Caucasian regions, as well as in the Astrakhan region, in 2017–2020 Rosstat have recorded one of the lowest per capita monetary incomes of the population (30–53% lower than the average for the Russian Federation). In 2018– 2020 consumption of bread products in the Russian Federation was at the level of 116 kg per person a year, which is 20 kg or 21% higher than the recommended norm. Thus, resulting from a decline in revenues, the population switches from consumption of more expensive products to cheaper ones, saving on the purchase of meat, vegetables and fruit. Studies in this area have shown that bread products and vegetable oil in terms of kilocalories per ruble of costs stand in the first place, sugar and confectionery are in the second and potatoes are in the third place. The quality of the Russian consumer basket is the success of the nation's longevity.

The accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of thyroid tumors is still insufficiently high. Determination of proteasome activity is a promising method for preoperative and/or intraoperative diagnosis of tumors of this localization, however, the method of its implementation involved obtaining a rather large tissue sample, from 20 to 70 mg. Separation of such a fragment from the tumor may complicate further histological examination. In this regard, the aim of this work was to determine the smallest amount of tissue sample suitable for measuring proteasome activity and diagnostics. The obtained results allow concluding that samples weighing 4 mg or more are suitable for diagnostic purposes. The approach to diagnosis using small amounts of tissue samples will preserve the structure of the tumor for further histological examination.
La « barbacane » du Crac des Chevaliers (Syrie) et la signification du terme dans le bassin méditerranéen
Authors: Mesqui Jean
Published: November 2022

Dans le domaine de l’architecture militaire, le mot «barbacane » est généralement utilisé en France et dans le Royaume-Uni pour désigner de façon exclusive des ouvrages avancés placés au-devant de portes ou de ponts, afin d’en contrôler l’accès. Un examen attentif des sources médiévales montre que cet usage fut restrictif dès le Moyen Âge, par rapport à la signification primitive du mot qui désignait les enceintes basses ou fausses-braies établies devant les enceintes fortifiées. On montre ici à quel type d’ouvrages le mot s’appliquait de façon courante (et s’applique encore en Espagne et en Italie), pour l’appliquer à l’interprétation d’une inscription présente au Crac des chevaliers (Syrie).
Premières études et observations sur le cellier Saint-Pierre (Troyes, Aube)
Authors: Marchaisseau Vincent , Roms Cédric , Perrault Christophe
Published: November 2022

Das ehemalige Cellarium des Domkapitels von Troyes (Departement Aube) befindet sich immer noch im Herzen des Kanonikerviertels. Obwohl es sich um den einzigen erhaltenen profanen Steinbau aus der Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts handelt, liegt darüber bis heute keine umfassende Studie vor. Beobachtungen am Mauerwerk, verglichen mit dendrochronologischen Datierungen des Dachstuhles sowie die Auswertung der Archive haben drei große Bauphasen ergeben. Der Bau geht auf die Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts zurück und besaß wohl mehrere Funktionen : ein Lagerraum im Erdgeschoss und ein Empfangsraum im Stockwerk, von dem Kamin, Bodenfliesen und eine holzverkleidete Decke zeugen. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde das Mauerwerk erneuert ; insbesondere wurde der Ostgiebel neu errichtet. Parallel dazu wurde der Raum im ersten Stock von Maurern erneuert, die am 1506 begonnenen Portal der Kathedrale arbeiteten und an beiden Orten ihre Steinmetzzeichen hinterließen. Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert erfuhr das Gebäude erhebliche Veränderungen : neue Türen und Fenster wurden gebrochen, alte vermauert und die Etagen neu gestaltet. Der Bau fällt zwar unter die Kategorie der Cellarien in Kanonikervierteln und Abteien, sein Grundriss weist jedoch Unterschiede zu den noch seltenen erforschten Beispielen auf wie auch seine Lokalisierung außerhalb des Kathedralkomplexes. Die neuesten Restaurierungen haben zwar die Spuren des 19. Und 20. Jahrhunderts nicht gänzlich beseitigt, aber sie haben dem Bau seinen ostentativen Charakter zurückgegeben.
Le château et le parc de La Rivière, à Pontgouin
Authors: Castel Damien
Published: November 2022

Das von einem Graben umgebene Schloss La Rivière mit seinen Vorhöfen, Gärten, Kanälen und einem Park wurde in der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jh. errichtet und seither nur wenig verändert. Es ist geprägt von lokalen Eigenheiten und nicht innovativ. Aber da zwei aufeinanderfolgende Generationen des Fürstenhauses der Aligre, Kanzler von Frankreich, es verwirklicht haben, vertritt es den Typus des „ schönen Schlosses“.
Le don des clefs à Pierre du IVe au XIIIe siècle
Authors: Christe Yves
Published: November 2022

La donation des clefs à Pierre et du livre à Paul est abusivement confondue avec la Traditio legis. Avant que cette image ne s’impose autour des années 800, on en suit sa lente émergence, vers 360, sur un groupe de sarcophages romains où le Christ, toujours debout, tend à Pierre une ou deux clefs. Même si les clefs sont en passe de devenir l’attribut de Pierre dès le ve siècle, leur donation par un Christ assis n’est attestée que plus tardivement, vers 650, dans la catacombe de Commodille à Rome. Pierre est cette fois à la gauche du Christ, Paul à droite tenant déjà dans ses mains un lot de rotuli, une mise en scène inversée par rapport à celle du sarcophage dit des «apôtres » à Sant’ Apollinare in Classe vers 450. Ici, en pendant de Paul recevant un livre, à gauche, Pierre, à droite, arbore déjà une clef dans ses mains. La double donation avec un Christ toujours assis est attestée pour la première fois à Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Mustaïr. Ce schéma sera par la suite maintes fois reproduit, surtout de la fin du xe siècle aux années 1200, Pierre à la droite du Christ surtout au nord des Alpes ; à sa gauche en Lombardie. Une seule donation des clefs et du livre révèle une interférence certaine de la Traditio legis, image depuis longtemps obsolète, sur l’une des petites plaquettes d’ivoire du devant d’autel de la cathédrale de Magdeburg vers 980.
RESPUESTA DEL MAÍZ PARA ENSILAJE A MÉTODOS DE SIEMBRA Y DENSIDADES DE POBLACIÓN

Published: November 2022

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo cuantificar la respuesta del maíz para ensilaje a métodos de siembra y densidades de población. Se establecieron dos experimentos en terrenos del Campo Experimental La Laguna (INIFAP), uno en primavera de 1993 y otro en verano de 1998. Se estudiaron cuatro métodos de siembra (surcos sencillos a 0.60 y 0.76 m; surcos dobles a 0.80 y 0.90 m) y densidades de población desde 5.3 hasta 15.5 plantas m-2. En cada parcela experimental se determinó la distribución de materia seca, rendimiento y calidad del forraje. No hubo diferencias estadísticas significativas por métodos de siembra en rendimiento de forraje seco y producción de grano. En primavera, el rendimiento de forraje seco se incrementó significativamente (16.7 %) con aumentos en la densidad de población de 8.2 a 11.2 plantas m-2. En verano, solo hubo incremento significativo en el rendimiento de forraje seco hasta una densidad de 8.6 plantas m-2. El rendimiento de forraje seco disminuyó significativamente (14.4-17.7 %) al reducir la densidad de población de 8.2-8.6 a 5.3-5.5 plantas m-2. La calidad del forraje no fue afectada por el método de siembra ni por la densidad de población. Probablemente, esta respuesta estuvo relacionada a la no reducción del índice de cosecha al aumentar la densidad de población.

La Publicité : entre macro-actes et méta-actes de discours
Authors: Bonhomme Marc
Published: November 2022

À partir d’annonces récentes tirées de la presse écrite, cet article se propose de montrer comment le principe organisateur de la publicité est d’ordre pragmatique, en ce qu’il repose sur des actes de discours stéréotypés qui affectent la multimodalité de ses configurations. D’une part, la publicité s’articule autour d’un script basé sur trois macro-actes illocutoires fondamentaux, respectivement assertifs, directifs et engageants. Ceux-ci recèlent une force argumentative variable selon les registres discursifs qu’ils mobilisent. D’autre part, la publicité fait subir à ce script de base des transformations rhétoriques systématiques de façon à en optimiser les conditions de réussite. Ainsi, elle multiplie les méta-actes de brouillage qui amplifient la portée des messages transmis en opacifiant l’ancrage des annonces. De même, elle développe des méta-actes de masquage visant à atténuer les aspects problématiques de son script. Enfin, elle recourt de plus en plus à des méta-actes de dépublicitarisation à travers lesquels elle se résorbe dans des pratiques discursives en principe étrangères à la promotion commerciale des produits.
Analyse des domaines lexicaux et sémantico-conceptuels structurant le discours des cosmétiques antiâge en anglais
Authors: Bordet Lucile , Jamet Denis
Published: November 2022

Se fondant sur un corpus de 60 publicités en anglais de cosmétiques antiâge destinés à un public féminin, cet article propose dans un premier temps une analyse textométrique du corpus, en termes de fréquences lexicales et de concordances privilégiées. Il ressort de cette analyse que les lexèmes les plus fréquents ne renvoient pas tant, de façon assez logique, aux notions mêmes de vieillesse et vieillissement qu’à une partie du corps (skin) et aux effets (wrinkles ; lines ; spots) que le temps ((anti-)aging ; age ; younger ; week) a sur elle. L’article propose ensuite une analyse des domaines sémantico-conceptuels majoritairement représentés dans le corpus, par le truchement des métaphores conceptuelles qui structurent ces représentations, puis termine sur une analyse de la conceptualisation de l’âge et du temps qui passe tels qu’ils sont représentés dans les publicités pour cosmétiques antiâge vendus aux femmes, confirmant l’analyse textométrique menée précédemment. L’axiologie du temps est finalement abordée par le biais de la prosodie sémantique.
Communication territoriale à l’anglaise : analyse d’une représentation sociale
Authors: Cassel-Piccot Muriel
Published: November 2022

Cette étude se situe au carrefour des champs de la civilisation britannique et de la communication de masse et à la croisée des analyses de contenu et du discours. Elle se propose d’examiner les campagnes de promotion du Royaume-Uni menées par l’organisme VisitBritain entre 2012 et 2019. Après une présentation du contexte politique, économique, social et culturel de la période considérée et une exposition de l’identité comme représentation collective, l’analyse qui porte sur un corpus de 305 publicités fixes décrypte l’image du pays promu, les valeurs retenues pour le caractériser et l’idéologie véhiculée. Les résultats font apparaître une nation unie, non fragmentée, prospère, riche de diversités, un territoire qui importe et exporte l’excellence, une puissance mondiale de premier rang, un microcosme national du macrocosme mondial, en somme des visions qui ne sont que partiellement en adéquation avec la réalité mais qui répondent à des enjeux politiques. À travers ces publicités, la britannicité se retrouve tout à la fois édulcorée et redynamisée : les valeurs chères à la plus vieille démocratie du monde sont bien illustrées mais ses spécificités socioculturelles se diluent dans une vision mondialisante et uniformisante du pays.
(In)achèvement de la poésie – Sur Ivar Ch’Vavar
Authors: Auclerc Benoît
Published: November 2022

Ivar Ch’Vavar (né en 1951) déclare à maintes reprises l’histoire de la poésie « achevée » depuis la fin du xixe siècle, avec Rimbaud, Lautréamont et Mallarmé. Continuer à écrire de la poésie relève dès lors de l’impossible, et constitue une entreprise menacée par le ressassement mélancolique, l’imposture, ou l’inachèvement. Pour autant, qu’il s’agisse d’inventer une poésie picarde, celle de la « Grande Picardie mentale », de compiler la « poésie des fous et des crétins dans le nord de la France » (Cadavre grand m’a raconté), quitte pour cela à recourir à de multiples hétéronymes, ou de se confronter à l’épopée (Titre), la poésie d’Ivar Ch’Vavar ne se détourne pas de sa tâche historique, mais elle le fait en multipliant les légendes, les mystifications et les dérapages burlesques. Constatant le caractère inaccessible de l’idée de poésie, Ch’Vavar produit une poésie historique malgré elle, où ce qui signe l’échec de la poésie est aussi ce qui en permet la relance.
Poésie, photographie et contre-histoires : identités en tension
Authors: Nachtergael Magali
Published: November 2022

Autour du travail poétique, photographique et performé de Lisette Lombé (1978, Belgique), il s’agit d’analyser la politique du document photographique dans des œuvres personnelles, militantes et à dimension historique. Après un rappel sur des œuvres emblématiques et un état des lieux de la création contemporaine, l’article se concentre sur Black Words (L’Arbre à Paroles, 2018), recueil phototextuel en français de la poétesse belgo-congolaise dérivé d’une série de performances au cœur desquelles l’histoire coloniale et la prise de parole sont centrales. L’ouvrage est mis en perspective avec des productions phototextuelles anglophones, témoignant de l’Archival Turn dans l’art contemporain et d’une poétique visuelle engagée liée aux identités noires, qu’elles soient liées à la situation post-ségrégationniste états-unienne ou postcoloniale européenne.
Illustrer L’Année terrible
Authors: Page Camille
Published: November 2022

Dans L’Année terrible, Victor Hugo narre avec émotion les déboires d’une société profondément marquée par la débâcle de la guerre franco-prussienne ainsi que par l’épisode traumatique de la Commune. Peu de temps après la parution du recueil, les éditeurs s’emparent du verbe poétique pour lui adjoindre une iconographie riche de sens. À travers l’étude comparative de trois éditions illustrées qui se succèdent chronologiquement – celle de Michel Lévy en 1874, celle d’Eugène Hugues en 1879 et celle de l’Édition Nationale en 1888 –, l’article se propose d’étudier la manière dont s’articule en cette fin de xixe siècle le fragile équilibre entre poésie, histoire et illustration. En mettant en lumière les partis-pris iconographiques qui prévalent au fil des publications, il pose ainsi la question de la réception du texte hugolien et de ses variations relatives au contexte de publication. Entre souvenir bruyant de la défaite humiliante contre la Prusse et silence autour de la révolution parisienne et du sort des communards, l’image reflète en un sens les brèches d’une société profondément meurtrie par l’événement historique.
Captures, traces, empreintes poétiques de l’expérience historique : Paris, xixe siècle ; ghetto de Varsovie, 1941-1943
Authors: Lyon-Caen Judith
Published: November 2022

Cet article propose un parcours entre deux massifs poétiques éloignés : la poésie baudelairienne et des poèmes écrits dans le ghetto de Varsovie entre 1941 et 1943. En réfléchissant sur la question des « circonstances » en poésie et en utilisant les réflexions d’Yves Bonnefoy sur l’« événement poétique », on se demande ici ce que documentent ces poèmes en tant que poèmes, en les observant comme autant d’actes d’écriture effectués dans des formes conçues, identifiées et transmises comme relevant de « la poésie » en leur temps comme dans le nôtre. Il s’agit ainsi de dessiner quelques pistes pour une lecture « historienne » de la poésie, une lecture sans réduction documentaire, attentive à la création poétique comme pratique sociale et au geste poétique comme geste dans l’histoire.
Le surréalisme d’André Breton : du mythe à l’histoire et de l’histoire au mythe
Authors: Kleiber Pierre-Henri
Published: November 2022

Le rapport du surréalisme à l’histoire est ambivalent. Tout en la dénonçant comme une construction idéologique, André Breton fixe inlassablement les repères d’une entrée de son mouvement dans l’histoire. Cette dernière est donc un objet d’attraction et de répulsion : répulsion pour un récit national qui révèle la partialité du savoir historique et pour un culte du passé qui témoigne de l’erreur de trajectoire anthropologique dont la pensée occidentale s’est rendue coupable ; attraction pour la « splendide illustration » des manuels scolaires et pour le sens téléologique de l’histoire qui promet l’accomplissement hégélien. Breton a une vision proprement surréaliste de l’histoire. Elle suppose de reconsidérer non seulement les positions, mais également l’épistémologie de la discipline. En réévaluant le concept même de temps, en valorisant l’instant qui surgit contre la durée qui s’écoule, en exaltant l’actuel et le possible plutôt que l’accompli, en confiant au mythe non plus envisagé comme une fable le pouvoir de révéler le contenu latent de la matière historique, le surréalisme actionne autant de leviers capables d’introduire l’imagination, le désir et le rêve dans l’histoire, déplaçant du même coup le centre de gravité du passé vers le présent et l’avenir.
Poétique de l’ardeur et de l’espoir
Authors: Wahnich Sophie
Published: November 2022

L’effort poétique populaire, que ce qualificatif permette de parler du petit peuple ou d’un peuple lettré qui s’oppose à l’aristocratie, est bien pendant la période révolutionnaire un effort politique. Avant même d’entrer dans les contenus des poèmes, choisir d’écrire des vers plutôt que des discours est en soi un acte politique qui s’adresse au cœur, perçu comme le fondement de l’homme révolutionnaire. Ce dernier doit sentir, pour pouvoir exercer sa faculté de juger. Les émotions ne sont alors nullement opposées à la raison, elles expriment plutôt une compétence de jugement synthétique, là où le discours argumentatif est analytique. Saint-Just affirme par exemple qu’il faut « honorer l’esprit mais s’appuyer sur le cœur » (Louis-Antoine-Léon de Saint-Just, Rapport au nom du Comité de salut public et du Comité de sûreté générale sur la police générale, sur la justice, sur le commerce, la législation et les crimes des factions. 26 Germinal an II [15 avril 1794], in Œuvres complètes, éd. M. Abensour et A. Kupiec, Paris, Gallimard, coll. « Folio. Histoire », 2004 [1789-1794], p. 742-769.)Ce jugement synthétique des émotions permet de condenser l’inouï de la novation révolutionnaire et ainsi de décrire ce qui vient sans avoir besoin de le rapporter à des expériences déjà connues. Si l’effort de la littérature est de mettre des mots neufs sur le monde vécu, cet effort est bien un effort littéraire qui, même maladroit, permet de faire circuler cette nouvelle expérience, qui transforme une série d’individus séparés en un peuple qui combat pour sa liberté.
Rare-earth silicides: the promising candidates for thermoelectric applications at near room temperature
Authors: Tanusilp Sora-at , Kurosaki Ken

Metal silicides are considered promising candidates for thermoelectric applications thanks to the advantages of low toxicity and high stability. The most well-known silicide is Mg2Si which exhibits high thermoelectric efficiency, determined by the dimensionless figure of merit (zT) at the temperature range of 600 to 800 K. Other conventional silicides such as FeSi2, CrSi2 Ru2Si3, and higher manganese silicides have their highest zT values at temperatures higher than 800 K. However, there are limited known silicide-based thermoelectric materials operating at near room temperature. Here, we focused on rare-Earth (RE) silicides, exhibiting special behaviors of heavy fermion or mixed valence. Such behaviors cause an uncommonly large Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric power factor for metal at low temperatures, which are potential advantages for thermoelectric applications at low temperatures. Thus, we will review several reports on RE silicide-based thermoelectric materials and our recent work on Yb(Si1−x

Background & Objective: Neck pain is a very prevalent health condition. Physiotherapists use multiple treatment options for treating mechanical neck pain. We evaluated the effects of upper thoracic spine mobilization and mobility exercise and upper cervical spine mobilization and stabilization exercises in treating patients with mechanical neck pain.

Methodology: A randomized clinical trial was conducted comprising of 36 patients recruited from different clinics of Faisalabad, both genders, ages from 20-40 y, and randomly divided into two groups. Group A underwent upper thoracic mobilization and mobility exercise while Group B underwent upper cervical mobilization with stabilization exercises for 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Pain scores on Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and cervical range of movements (ROM) scores were measured before treatment and then weekly for 4 weeks, while Neck Disability Index (NDI) was assessed at baseline and at the end of 4th week. SPSS version. 22 was used to analyze the data. Independent sample t-test was used for between group compression and P ≤ 0.05 (95%) was considered as significant.

Results: There was significant improvement in mean NPRS scores at 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week post-treatment (P < 0.05). There was significant improvement in mean cervical ROM at 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week post-treatment readings (P < 0.05) and mean NDI score at 4th week (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Both groups were found effective in improving pain, range of motion and neck function, but significant improvement in outcomes was observed in upper cervical mobilization and stabilization exercises group.

Possibility that extensors respond faster than flexors for the metacarpophalangeal joints in individuals with severe-to-moderate stroke-caused impairment

Damage in the corticospinal system following stroke produces imbalance between flexors and extensors in the upper extremity including the fingers, eventually leading to flexion-favored postures. The substitution of the reticospinal tract for the damaged corticospinal tract is known to excessively activate flexors of the fingers while the fingers are voluntarily being extended. Here, we questioned whether the cortical source or/and neural pathways of the flexors and extensors of the fingers are coupled and what factor of impairment influences finger movement. In this study, a total of 7 male participants with hemiplegic stroke conducted isometric flexion and extension at the MCP joints in response to auditory tones. We measured activation and de-activation delays of the flexor and extensor of the MCP joints on the paretic side, as well as, force generation and co-contraction between the flexor and extensor. All participants generated greater torque in the direction of flexion (p=0.017). Regarding co-contraction, coupled activation of the extensor is also made during flexion in the similar way to coupled activation of the flexor made during extension. As opposite to our expectation, we observed that during extension, the extensor showed marginally significantly faster activation (p=0.66) while it showed faster de-activation (p=0.038), in comparison to activation and de-activation of the flexor during flexion. But movement smoothness was not affected by those factors. Our results imply that the cortical source and neural pathway for the extensors of the MCP joints are not coupled with those for the flexors of the MCP joints and extensor weakness mainly contributes to the asymmetry between flexors and extensors.
Computational Processes for General Intelligence
Authors: Balakrishnan Prabhakar
Published: November 2022

The ‘brain-mind-intelligence’ structure may be considered analogous to a ‘computer-operating system (OS)-application’ construct. Software development would be far more difficult without the benefit of abstractions like file and memory handles, and graphical user interfaces, implemented in operating systems. The easy access to application-level semantics, provided by the infrastructure of the OS, simplifies application development. Abstractions can play a similar role in producing intelligent systems. The power of abstractions may be determined by their ability to unify the treatment of several types of higher concepts. Unifying various concepts in the domain of intelligence, such as problems, solutions, objects, and emotions, through abstractions will be of immense value. This paper shows how ‘higher-level perceptions’ could be used to serve this objective and construct an OS-like infrastructure. With the infrastructure in place, ordinary software objects developed and deployed using standard methods, become accessible using the semantics provided by the infrastructure. Now, after brief training exercises, the objects would be available for intelligent use. The focus, therefore, is on the design of the infrastructure that could play a mind-like role in humans.

The design results in a new, non-symbolic, non-connectionist, transmutable method of representation, essential for intelligence. The new infrastructure enables the conversion of inputs to transmutable representations amenable to semantic modifications, to flexibly determine actions to perform on software objects developed externally. Thus, the new model overcomes major problems in learning and action selection, including brittleness, associated with the rigid semantics of symbolic and connectionist designs.

The new model is then evaluated in terms of features, against criteria set forth independently by Newell, Sun, Vernon, and others. In addition, a new measure of intelligence introduced in this paper is used to quantitatively compare the proposed model with some others developed over the years. 
Phased Array Radio Navigation System on UAVs: In-flight Calibration

Published: November 2022

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have been the primary positioning solution for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) due to their worldwide coverage, high precision, and lightweight receivers. However, GNSS is prone to electromagnetic interference and malicious assaults, including jamming or spoofing because of its low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Using redundant navigation systems is essential to ensure the continuity and protection of UAV operations. In recent years, the phased array radio system (PARS) has established itself as a local navigation solution. PARS is robust towards malicious assaults because of a much higher SNR than GNSS regarding directed and encrypted transmission. An essential factor of PARS is that the orientation of the radio antenna at a ground station needs to be precisely determined to obtain the correct positioning of UAVs. This paper presents a method for extending a previously proposed calibration algorithm to estimate the ground antenna orientation with an inertial navigation system (INS) aided by redundant positioning sensors (GNSS, PARS, or barometer) using a multiplicative extended Kalman filter (MEKF) so that the calibration can be activated during flights whenever GNSS is available. In other words, the proposed navigation system is essentially an aided-INS that switches between two modes depending on the availability of GNSS: calibration and GNSS aiding mode when GNSS is available (Mode 1) and PARS and barometer aiding mode when GNSS is unavailable (Mode 2). Considering that the navigation system needs to include the effect of Earth's curvature for a long-distance flight, PARS horizontal measurement and the barometer measurement were treated independently, and the navigation equations were propagated in Earth Centred Earth Fixed (ECEF) frame. The independent treatment of barometer measurement, and the propagation in ECEF frame were also beneficial when using multiple ground antennas to have a common reference point and reference frame. The proposed method was validated using data (Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), GNSS, PARS, Pixhawk autopilot (including barometer) measurements) collected during a field test. In the validation, GNSS was made available at the middle of the flight and the calibration mode was activated for 200s. The proposed navigation system successfully estimated the precise orientation of multiple ground antennas and the navigation solutions were verified using GNSS and Pixhawk autopilot solutions as ground truth.
