Effects of Interlayer Systems on Reflective Cracking in Unbonded Overlays of Existing Concrete Pavements
Authors: Sachs Steven , Vandenbossche Julie M. , Alland Kevin , DeSantis John , Khazanovich Lev
Published: October 2016

Reflective cracking can be a concern in unbonded concrete overlays of existing distressed concrete pavements. In these structures, an interlayer, commonly hot-mix asphalt (HMA) or a nonwoven geotextile fabric, is placed to isolate the overlay concrete from the existing concrete pavement. The interlayer minimizes interaction between the overlay and the existing concrete pavement, which helps prevent distress in the existing pavement from propagating into the overlay. In this study, a laboratory investigation was used to examine the influence of HMA and geotextile fabric interlayer systems on the potential for development of reflective cracking. A laboratory test was conducted by using stacked beam specimens separated by an interlayer to evaluate the potential for a discrete crack in the lower beam reflecting up through the interlayer and into the overlay beam. The study revealed that reflective cracking was more likely when there was loss of support beneath the existing pavement. Reflective cracking did not occur with any of the interlayer systems when the beam was fully supported. The nonwoven geotextile interlayers that were tested were more effective than the HMA interlayers at preventing reflective cracking. Even though the fabric interlayer had a higher load ratio than the HMA interlayers, a relatively large load was required to generate reflective cracking regardless of the interlayer type (HMA or fabric) and, therefore, both may be suitable interlayer alternatives for the prevention of reflective cracking.
Comparison of Pavement Texture Measurements from a Three-Dimensional Profiler and a Circular Track Meter at MnROAD Test Facilities
Authors: Liu Qingfan , Kavanagh Leonnie , Shalaby Ahmed , Izevbekhai Bernard Igbafen
Published: October 2016

This paper compares pavement texture measurements from a three-dimensional (3-D) line-laser scanner and from a two-dimensional (2-D) spot-laser circular track (CT) meter to determine whether correlations exist between their texture parameters. Measurements with the two devices were taken simultaneously on pavements at the Minnesota Department of Transportation MnROAD test facilities. The 3-D texture heights were decomposed by using a discrete wavelet transform to separate microtexture from macrotexture. Macrotexture parameters from the two devices were analyzed. A linear relationship, with an R2 value of .94, was found between the 2-D mean profile depth and the 3-D digitally simulated mean texture depth. Similarly, the R2 value was .98 between the 2-D root mean square roughness and the 3-D root mean square deviation. These correlations are essential and can be used by road agencies to predict texture indexes between 2-D and 3-D measurements for data comparison or quality assurance when equipment is of different dimensions.

OBJECTIVE

Extent of resection is an important prognostic factor in patients undergoing surgery for glioblastoma (GBM). Recent evidence suggests that intravenously administered fluorescein sodium associates with tumor tissue, facilitating safe maximal resection of GBM. In this study, the authors evaluate the safety and utility of intraoperative fluorescein guidance for the prediction of histopathological alteration both in the contrast-enhancing (CE) regions, where this relationship has been established, and into the non-CE (NCE), diffusely infiltrated margins.

METHODS

Thirty-two patients received fluorescein sodium (3 mg/kg) intravenously prior to resection. Fluorescence was intraoperatively visualized using a Zeiss Pentero surgical microscope equipped with a YELLOW 560 filter. Stereotactically localized biopsy specimens were acquired from CE and NCE regions based on preoperative MRI in conjunction with neuronavigation. The fluorescence intensity of these specimens was subjectively classified in real time with subsequent quantitative image analysis, histopathological evaluation of localized biopsy specimens, and radiological volumetric assessment of the extent of resection.

RESULTS

Bright fluorescence was observed in all GBMs and localized to the CE regions and portions of the NCE margins of the tumors, thus serving as a visual guide during resection. Gross-total resection (GTR) was achieved in 84% of the patients with an average resected volume of 95%, and this rate was higher among patients for whom GTR was the surgical goal (GTR achieved in 93.1% of patients, average resected volume of 99.7%). Intraoperative fluorescein staining correlated with histopathological alteration in both CE and NCE regions, with positive predictive values by subjective fluorescence evaluation greater than 96% in NCE regions.

CONCLUSIONS

Intraoperative administration of fluorescein provides an easily visualized marker for glioma pathology in both CE and NCE regions of GBM. These findings support the use of fluorescein as a microsurgical adjunct for guiding GBM resection to facilitate safe maximal removal.
Preclinical and Clinical Assessment of Cannabinoids as Anti-Cancer Agents
Authors: Ladin Daniel A. , Soliman Eman , Griffin LaToya , Van Dross Rukiyah
Published: October 2016

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States with 1.7 million new cases estimated to be diagnosed in 2016. This disease remains a formidable clinical challenge and represents a substantial financial burden to the US health care system. Therefore, research and development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer is of high priority. Cannabinoids and their derivatives have been utilized for their medicinal and therapeutic properties throughout history. Cannabinoid activity is regulated by the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is comprised of cannabinoid receptors, transporters, and enzymes involved in cannabinoid synthesis and breakdown. More recently, cannabinoids have gained special attention for their role in cancer cell proliferation and death. However, many studies investigated these effects using in vitro models which may not adequately mimic tumor growth and metastasis. As such, this article aims to review study results which evaluated effects of cannabinoids from plant, synthetic and endogenous origins on cancer development in preclinical animal models and to examine the current standing of cannabinoids that are being tested in human cancer patients.

La question des monnaies en or chypriotes à la tête d’Athéna au droit et au taureau ou à l’aigle au revers
Authors: Markou Évangéline
Published: October 2016

The present article examines a group of Cypriot gold coins that show on the obverse the head of Athena and on the reverse a bull or a standing eagle. These coins have been considered for a long time to have been issued by the last king of Marion, Stasioikos II, because the reading of the Greek letters on the reverse was thought to be MAP, which would attest the name of the kingdom. In this contribution, through the detailed presentation of these gold coins, I explain why Stasioikos II can no longer be considered as their issuing authority and I consider questions relating to their attribution and dating.

It bears also an interesting decoration of bearded heads and small trees.
Esquisse d’une périodisation historique de la vie intellectuelle chypriote (1571-1878)
Authors: Kitromilidès Pascal M.
Published: October 2016

Abstract. This paper tries to give an overview of the intellectual life of the Cypriote diaspora after the Ottoman conquest and «the lost Renaissance » . It presents the main scholars of the XVIIth century, followers of Etienne de Lusignan and Florio Bustron, active mainly in Venice and Padova, then, in the XVIIIth century, the work of Kyprianos and his relations to the French “ Lumières”. During the last decades of the Ottoman domination, the main centers of the Cypriote culture were situated in the Eastern Mediterranean (Constantinople, Smyrna, Jerusalem, Alexandria).
Le consulat de France à Larnaca à la fin de la Monarchie de Juillet. Correspondance de Dagobert Fourcade et Théodore Goepp (1840-1849) III. La protection de la France (suite de CCEC 35, 2005, p. 169-190)
Authors: Bonato Lucie
Published: October 2016

The Capitulations signed between France and the Sublime Porte granted an extraterritoriality status to the French established in the Ottoman Empire. As “ the most favoured nation”, France also obtained the right to protect some of the Europeans who were not represented, as well as the subjects of the Sultan who were working for the French officials. So, the consuls were responsible of the good functioning of their colony and attended to the safety of people and the protection of their business. Besides this legal protection, France was in charge of the religious protection of the Catholic Christians of the Ottoman Empire. French consuls looked after the respect of the freedom of worship and the maintaining of the buildings. Dagobert Fourcade and Théodore Goepp had to face numerous situations that they managed to resolve with success, in favour of the French, the Greeks and the Christians, in particular the Maronites.

Cyprus and Sidon : Two thousand years and interconnections
Authors: Karageorghis Vassos
Published: October 2016

L'auteur étudie les liens entre Sidon et Chypre du Bronze Moyen à la fin de la période archaïque. Ces dix dernières années, les fouilles sur le «site du Collège » près du château de Saida ont mis au jour une abondante céramique dans des dépôts bien stratifiés. Les poteries chypriotes, rares au Bronze Moyen, sont en nette augmentation au Bronze récent, associées à des vases mycéniens (HR III A-I1IB), peut-être importés à Sidon via Chypre : nombreux rhytons coniques, kernoi annulaires, fragments d'une jarre à étrier du MR III avec des signes en Linéaire B... Par la suite, le point culminant des relations entre Sidon et Chypre est le vie s. av. J.-C., au temps de la prospérité du temple d'Eshmoun, près de Sidon : on y a trouvé un grand nombre de sculptures, en calcaire et en terre cuite, importations de Chypre, et imitations locales. Sidon est le seul site du Levant à avoir entretenu des relations continues avec Chypre pendant presque 1500 ans.
The Ethnic Implications of Tell el-Yahudiyeh Ware for the History of the Middle to Late Bronze Age in Cyprus
Authors: Merrillees Robert Stuart
Published: October 2016

Résumé. Les contacts entre Chypre et le Levant, qui s'intensifient au XVIIe s. av. J.-C., sont bien attestés par la céramique de Tell el-Yahudiyeh, surtout à Enkomi-Ayos Iakovos, sur la côte est de l'île face à la Syrie. On a tenté d'associer cette poterie importée, presque certainement d'origine égyptienne, à l'arrivée d'étrangers venus du continent asiatique. Mais rien ne témoigne de l'immigration de Hourrites, de Syriens ou de Hyksos à Chypre à cette période (fin Bronze Moyen-début Bronze Récent), et la présence de poterie de Tell el-Yahudiyeh dans l'île est très probablement due à des échanges purement commerciaux plutôt qu'à des raisons ethniques ou diplomatiques.
Quelques aspects de l'interaction culturelle entre Chypre et la Phénicie
Authors: Gubel Eric
Published: October 2016

Abstract. The objects published, viz. republished in this contribution, all come from sites where I had the pleasure to meet Annie, a life-long friend ever after. A 9th c. BCE "gaming stone" recently brought to light in the Phoenician temple at Tell Kazel, once more invites us to question the function of such slabs in a ritual context. A series of contemporary figurines from the same site is characterized by a type of crown which may also suggest connections with Cyprus, origin of two Phoenician bowls representing the topic of a third and final note. Correcting some interpretations previously offered by different scholars, both examples are contrasted here to expose the considerable difference as to the understanding of the iconographie context by the bronze workers.
La question du sanctuaire de Limassol-Komissariato : modalités de la présence phénicienne dans le royaume d'Amathonte
Authors: Alpe Laurence
Published: October 2016

The material retrieved from the Cypro-Archaic sanctuary of Limassol-Komissariato gives important informations about the long-debated issue of Phoenician penetration in the Amathous kingdom. Notable Eastern influences do not define this place as a purely Phoenician sanctuary : some terracottas have affinities with Phoenician and Punic productions, as remarked by many scholars, but the zoomorphic figurines are isolated ; besides, most of the material, and especially the ceramics, are certainly of local manufacture. The evidence thus suggests an indigenous cult which incorporated Phoenician elements, well established in the city-capital. Since the publication of the Limassol-Komissariato sanctuary, thirty years ago, new discoveries in Limassol and its area show a strong Phoenician influence in local crafts but they do not give indisputable proof for a Phoenician presence in the Amathus kingdom.

An Hellenistic inscription from Amathous mentions a cult dedicated to Zeus Meilichios. The chtonian nature of this deity such as it appears in the Greek world is in perfect harmony with our knowledge of this Great God, otherwise known as Malika, and bears out the identification ; this one is very likely late.
An unknown Graeco-Roman temple from the lower town of Amathous
Authors: Flourentzos Pavlos
Published: October 2016

Au cours des récentes campagnes de fouille dans la ville basse d'Amathonte, nous avons trouvé les restes d'un temple remarquable, situé au sud près de l'ancien forum de la ville. Une inscription, sur une colonne qui faisait probablement partie de la maçonnerie, est une dédicace à Arsinoé, sœur et épouse de Ptolémée Philadelphe. Cette découverte indique que le sanctuaire est dédié à cette déesse de l'Égypte hellénistique qui devint très populaire à Chypre. D'autres objets égyptiens ou égyptisants découverts dans cette zone -dont une tête d'Horus Harpocrate en marbre et un serpent -donnent des indices supplémentaires d'une transformation de ce temple à la période romaine en un temple d'Isis et d'Horus Harpocrate.

Des découvertes récentes ont nettement augmenté le nombre des supports de brûle-parfums en bronze et en terre cuite du Bronze Récent et du début de l’Âge du Fer trouvés au Levant et à Chypre. L’article essaie de retracer l’évolution formelle, entre le XIVe s. av. J.-C. et les années 1000 environ, des différentes variantes de ces «supports à offrandes » , techniquement proches des trépieds à baguettes et des objets apparentés, de même que des thymiatéria à pied en trompette, souvent décorés de feuilles retombantes. On présente à cette occasion de nouvelles réflexions sur la restitution des thymiatéria fragmentaires trouvés à Akko (nécropole proche des «jardins perses » ), Kouklia-Teratsoudhia (tombe 104) et Enkomi (tombe 10 des fouilles de P. Dikaios ; interprétation incertaine).
Apollon Hylatès et Apollon César à Kourion : Contribution épigraphique à la topographie du sanctuaire
Authors: Kantiréa Maria
Published: October 2016

The sanctuary of Apollo Hylates near Kourion in southern Cyprus was one of the most important religious landscapes on the island in Antiquity. Four inscriptions from the reign of Trajan dedicated to the local god and to Apollo Caesar indicate that it underwent some intense building activity around this period and perhaps it also became a centre of the imperial cult. Nevertheless, a comparative study of the epigraphic material and the results of the excavations shows that the construction and restoration works may have already begun under the Flavians (i. e. under Domitian), very probably a few years after the earthquake of AD 76/ 77. It also gives some useful indications concerning the restitution of the fragmentary inscription engraved on the propylon of the east gate of the sanctuary.

Archaeology, travelers testimonies and ethnographic investigations reveal a pottery production tradition in the Famagusta area during the Lusignan period, and again in the 19th -20th centuries. The fragments of ceramics, tripods and wasters as well as copper nodules and furnace elements that we found on the ground of the north-west of the old city of Famagusta – around the churches of St. Mary of Carmel and Armenians, in front of the bastion San-Luca, and on the ramp Martinengo Bastion – testify to the existence, in that place, of a medieval pottery workshop that we have dated to the 16th century.

La parure protohistorique de Chypre : Recherche de traces sur le continent grec
Authors: Paule Anna
Published: October 2016

The appearance of jewellery of Near-Eastern origin at Cyprus and Greece is a well-known phenomenon from the 12 th to the 7 th century BC . In order to prevent any cliché about the famous “ Dark Ages ”, the aim of the article is not only a careful analysis of some significant pieces of jewellery but also of further evidence which could bear witness to our hypotheses on cultural interactions . Following this approach by going beyond the mere documentation of jewellery , it is evident that such discoveries seem to be less sporadic as one might suppose (e . g . in Argolid and Attica ). At the same time , care must be taken to avoid the preconceived idea of discovering the former trade routes by studying the given diffusion patterns of jewellery which were rather caused by different factors such as intermarriages , phenomena of migration , or wandering craftsmen .
Unpublished sculptures from ancient Idalion : The earliest provenanced find-assemblage in the Ashmolean Cypriot collection
Authors: Ulbrich Anja
Published: October 2016

En 1874 , les administrateurs de la collection Christy ont fait don à l ’ Ashmolean Museum de treize têtes et d ’ un corps de statuette en calcaire . Ces objets ont été rapportés de Dali par Henry Christy qui les avait acquis lors du tour du Levant qu ’ il effectua en 1850-1851 . À l ’ exception d ’ une sculpture , tous ces fragments figurent des adorantes selon différents types iconographiques typiques de la période allant de la fin de l ’ époque archaïque au début de l ’ époque hellénistique . Ces sculptures sont supposées provenir de l ’ un des sanctuaires dédiés à l ’ Aphrodite Chypriote , localisés dans et autour de l ’ antique Idalion . Des exemples similaires ont été recueillis ou mis au jour lors de fouilles menées à Dali depuis les années 1840 par divers voyageurs , collectionneurs , antiquaires et chercheurs , comme Ludwig Ross , Louis Mas Latrie , Demetrios Piérides , et plus tard Tiburce Colonna-Ceccaldi , Robert Hamilton Lang ou Max Ohnefalsch-Richter . Ce dernier avait déjà relevé l ’ existence d ’ au moins quatorze sanctuaires situés à l ’ intérieur ou à proximité de l ’ antique Idalion , et dont plusieurs étaient consacrés à l ’ Aphrodite chypriote . Les comparaisons effectuées entre des statuettes d ’ adorantes provenant de ces sites et l ’ assemblage légué à l ’ Ashmolean Museum suggèrent que ce dernier serait originaire de l ’ un des deux plus importants sanctuaires urbains dédiés à l ’ Aphrodite chypriote : soit celui localisé au sommet de l ’ Acropole orientale , soit celui qui se trouve à l ’ intérieur ou à proximité du complexe palatial sur l ’ Acropole occidentale .

Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) are a promising source of autologous stem cells for personalized cell-based therapies. Culture expansion of ADSCs provides an attractive opportunity for liver cirrhosis patients. However, safety and stability issues can pose big challenges for personalized autologous stem cell products. In the present study, we addressed whether the commercial production program could provide a consistent product for liver cirrhosis therapy. We collected adipose tissue from three human donors by lipoaspirate and isolated ADSCs, which were expanded in culture to reach 1 × 10 8 cells (an approximately 1,000-fold expansion) within four passages. We then examined their morphology, chromosome stability, surface markers, and differentiation ability after culture. Next, we explored their therapeutic potential using a rat model of thioacetamide-induced liver cirrhosis. Culture-expanded ADSCs were injected intrahepatically, and their biodistribution was tracked by immunohistochemistry using an antibody against human mitochondria. Finally, we tested for tumor development by subcutaneously injecting a 100-fold dose range of cultured ADSCs into immunocompromised mice. Taken together, we find that culture expansion of autologous ADSCs is a potentially suitable stem cell product for personalized cell-based therapy for patients with liver cirrhosis.
Knockdown of Latent Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β)-Binding Protein 2 (LTBP2) Inhibits Invasion and Tumorigenesis in Thyroid Carcinoma Cells
Authors: Wan Fuqiang , Peng Li , Zhu ChaoYu , Zhang XinFa , Chen FangWen , Liu Tao
Published: October 2016

Latent transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-binding protein 2 (LTBP2) is one of four proteins in the LTBP family of proteins (LTBP1‐4) and was shown to play a vital role in tumorigenesis. However, little is known regarding the functional role of LTBP2 in thyroid carcinoma.
Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the effect of LTBP2 expression on the proliferation, invasion, and tumorigenesis in thyroid carcinoma cells and to explore the molecular mechanism of LTBP2 in tumor progression. Our results showed that the expression of LTBP2 is upregulated in
human thyroid carcinoma and cell lines. Knockdown of LTBP2 inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and EMT phenotype in thyroid carcinoma cells. Furthermore, knockdown of LTBP2 attenuates thyroid carcinoma growth in nude mice. Finally, knockdown of LTBP2 inhibits activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway
in thyroid carcinoma cells. In summary, the present study has provided further evidence that knockdown of LTBP2 inhibits invasion and tumorigenesis in thyroid carcinoma cells. Our findings may help to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying thyroid carcinoma progression and provide
candidate targets for the prevention and treatment of thyroid carcinoma.
A CAREFULLY CHARACTERIZED AND TRACKED TRANS-NEPTUNIAN SURVEY: THE SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PLUTINOS AND THE NUMBER OF NEPTUNIAN TROJANS

Published: October 2016

The trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) preserve evidence of planet building processes in their orbital and size distributions. While all populations show steep size distributions for large objects, a relative deficit of Neptunian trojans and scattering objects with diameters of D < 100 km has been detected. We investigated this deficit with a 32 square degree survey, in which we detected 77 TNOs that are brighter than a limiting r-band magnitude of 24.6. Our plutino sample (18 objects in 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Neptune) shows a deficit of D < 100 km objects, rejecting a single power-law size distribution at >99% confidence. Combining our survey with the Canada–France Ecliptic Plane Survey, we perform a detailed analysis of the allowable parameters for the plutino size distribution, including knees and divots. We surmise the existence of 9000 ± 3000 plutinos with an absolute magnitude of H

r
 ≤ 8.66 and

with H

r
 ≤ 10.0 (95% confidence). Our survey also discovered one temporary Uranian trojan, one temporary Neptunian trojan, and one stable Neptunian trojan, for which we estimate populations of

,

, and

with H

r
 ≤ 10.0, respectively. All three populations are thus less numerous than the main belt asteroids (592 asteroids with H

r
 ≤ 10.0). With such population sizes, the temporary Neptunian trojans cannot be previously stable trojans diffusing out of the resonance now; they must be recently captured Centaurs or scattering objects. As the bias against the detection of objects grows with larger semimajor axes, our discovery of three 3:1 resonators and one 4:1 resonator adds to the growing evidence that the high-order resonances are far more populated than is typically predicted.

We report the detections of a giant planet (MARVELS-7b) and a brown dwarf (BD) candidate (MARVELS-7c) around the primary star in the close binary system, HD 87646. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first close binary system with more than one substellar circumprimary companion that has been discovered. The detection of this giant planet was accomplished using the first multi-object Doppler instrument (KeckET) at the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) telescope. Subsequent radial velocity observations using the Exoplanet Tracker at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, the High Resolution Spectrograph at the Hobby Eberley telescope, the “Classic” spectrograph at the Automatic Spectroscopic Telescope at the Fairborn Observatory, and MARVELS from SDSS-III confirmed this giant planet discovery and revealed the existence of a long-period BD in this binary. HD 87646 is a close binary with a separation of ∼22 au between the two stars, estimated using the Hipparcos catalog and our newly acquired AO image from PALAO on the 200 inch Hale Telescope at Palomar. The primary star in the binary, HD 87646A, has

 = 5770 ± 80 K, log g  = 4.1 ± 0.1, and [Fe/H] = −0.17 ± 0.08. The derived minimum masses of the two substellar companions of HD 87646A are 12.4 ± 0.7

and 57.0 ± 3.7

. The periods are 13.481 ± 0.001 days and 674 ± 4 days and the measured eccentricities are 0.05 ± 0.02 and 0.50 ± 0.02 respectively. Our dynamical simulations show that the system is stable if the binary orbit has a large semimajor axis and a low eccentricity, which can be verified with future astrometry observations.
CHEMICAL ABUNDANCES IN A SAMPLE OF RED GIANTS IN THE OPEN CLUSTER NGC 2420 FROM APOGEE

NGC 2420 is a ∼2 Gyr old well-populated open cluster that lies about 2 kpc beyond the solar circle, in the general direction of the Galactic anti-center. Most previous abundance studies have found this cluster to be mildly metal-poor, but with a large scatter in the obtained metallicities. Detailed chemical abundance distributions are derived for 12 red-giant members of NGC 2420 via a manual abundance analysis of high-resolution (R = 22,500) near-infrared (λ1.5–1.7 μm) spectra obtained from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey. The sample analyzed contains six stars that are identified as members of the first-ascent red giant branch (RGB), as well as six members of the red clump (RC). We find small scatter in the star-to-star abundances in NGC 2420, with a mean cluster abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.16 ± 0.04 for the 12 red giants. The internal abundance dispersion for all elements (C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co and Ni) is also very small (∼0.03–0.06 dex), indicating a uniform cluster abundance distribution within the uncertainties. NGC 2420 is one of the clusters used to calibrate the APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundance Pipeline (ASPCAP). The results from this manual analysis compare well with ASPCAP abundances for most of the elements studied, although for Na, Al, and V there are more significant offsets. No evidence of extra-mixing at the RGB luminosity bump is found in the 12C and 14N abundances from the pre-luminosity-bump RGB stars in comparison to the post-He core-flash RC stars.
CLUMPY DISKS AS A TESTBED FOR FEEDBACK-REGULATED GALAXY FORMATION
Authors: Mayer Lucio , Tamburello Valentina , Lupi Alessandro , Keller Ben , Wadsley James , Madau Piero
Published: October 2016

We study the dependence of fragmentation in massive gas-rich galaxy disks at z > 1 on stellar feedback schemes and hydrodynamical solvers, employing the GASOLINE2 SPH code and the lagrangian mesh-less code GIZMO in finite mass mode. Non-cosmological galaxy disk runs with the standard delayed-cooling blastwave feedback are compared with runs adopting a new superbubble feedback, which produces winds by modeling the detailed physics of supernova-driven bubbles and leads to efficient self-regulation of star formation. We find that, with blastwave feedback, massive star-forming clumps form in comparable number and with very similar masses in GASOLINE2 and GIZMO. Typical clump masses are in the range 107–108

⊙ are exceedingly rare. By contrast, superbubble feedback does not produce massive star-forming bound clumps as galaxies never undergo a phase of violent disk instability. In this scheme, only sporadic, unbound star-forming overdensities lasting a few tens of Myr can arise, triggered by non-linear perturbations from massive satellite companions. We conclude that there is severe tension between explaining massive star-forming clumps observed at z > 1 primarily as the result of disk fragmentation driven by gravitational instability and the prevailing view of feedback-regulated galaxy formation. The link between disk stability and star formation efficiency should thus be regarded as a key testing ground for galaxy formation theory.
A crítica de cinema como manifestação da experiência estética
Authors: Vilela Teixeira Luiz Gustavo
Published: October 2016

A crítica de cinema é mais do que um texto sobre um filme. É uma reflexão que envolve colocar a obra em perspectiva, evocando toda uma relação de sentidos que são pertinentes tanto para a análise fílmica, do filme sobre si mesmo, quanto para seu contexto sócio-cultural. A questão é que essa leitura em profundidade parece estar dentro das relações sensíveis evocadas em uma experiência estética. Depois de fazer uma compreensão sobre crítica de cinema a partir de Bazin e Bernardet e da experiência estética com Benjamin, Gumbrecht e Didi-Huberman, os dois campos serão colididos para buscar possíveis relações conceituais.
Species conservation profile of the alpine stenoendemic spider Vesubia jugorum (Araneae, Lycosidae) from the Maritime Alps
Authors: Mammola Stefano , Milano Filippo , Cardoso Pedro , Isaia Marco
Published: October 2016

Vesubia jugorum (Simon, 1881) (Araneae: Lycosidae) is a large-sized wolf spider that occurs in alpine rocky areas above 2,000 m altitude. The species is stenoendemic, with a limited number of populations documented in the literature from the Maritime Alps (Italy, France). Due to the climate change, the current observed extent of occurrence (EEO 4,412 km2) and the area of occupancy (AOO 835 km2) are declining.
Le hip-hop comme élément identitaire dans le 9-3
Authors: Piolet Vincent
Published: October 2016

À travers le parcours du groupe de rap Suprême NTM, on découvre comment le hip-hop a constitué un élément identitaire fort en revendiquant notamment le quartier d’origine des deux rappeurs, à savoir le 9-3. comme ils l’ont défini. Cette fierté du territoire a pris plusieurs formes, notamment par le tag où, là encore, les 93 NTM arborent fièrement leur lieu d’appartenance dans un esprit de compé­tition avec les tagueurs d’autres endroits. Très vite, les rappeurs sui­­vront cette ferveur et émergeront des groupes revendiquant le 9-4. ou le 9-2.
L’union fait la force

Trois moulistes d’Oyonnax se regroupent en 2000 au sein d’une société de services, dont ils détiennent chacun un tiers. On leur avait dit « ça ne marchera pas ! », mais ils se sont fortement développés, et la moitié de leurs confères a disparu...
Manuels des origines, origines des manuels : l’enseignement de la littérature, de Batteux à Lanson
Authors: Canvat Karl
Published: October 2016

On analyse ici les transformations profondes de l’enseignement de la littérature en France, entre le XVIII e et le début du XX e  siècle, à travers quelques manuels emblématiques. Les deux premiers (Batteux et La Harpe) sont représentatifs d’une certaine conception de la littérature comme moyen de transmettre une éducation fondée sur des valeurs morales, mais aussi civiques et religieuses ; ils offrent des « modèles » d’écriture par imitation des grands auteurs. Ces manuels instaurent une approche de l’enseignement de la littérature qui se transforme radicalement à la fin du XIX e  siècle, avec les travaux de G. Lanson. Celui-ci préconise l’explication de textes et l’histoire de la littérature comme nouveaux procédés didactiques, marquant une rupture avec le modèle rhétorique fondé sur les grandes catégories que sont les genres. Les changements de modèles de la littérature comme discipline scolaire sont lisibles à travers l’étude des manuels ; leurs variations et leurs constantes permettent d’éclairer la réflexion sur la situation actuelle.
Entre asile et renvoi, la femme qui ne tenait plus debout
Authors: Bastin Pierre , Eytan Ariel , Bartolomei Javier
Published: October 2016

Nous sommes de plus en plus confrontés à des situations de renvoi dans le cadre des accords de Dublin. Les autorités, parfois l’opinion publique, semblent considérer que ces renvois ne devraient pas poser de problème. Nous constatons qu’ils peuvent répéter un traumatisme et amener à des symptômes ou troubles psychiatriques graves chez des personnes pour qui, la plupart du temps, on ne retrouve pas d’antécédents psychiatriques. A travers une vignette clinique et dans un climat d’urgence et d’injonction à l’agir, nous avons voulu montrer l’importance de préserver une réflexion psychopathologique et d’éviter certains pièges contre-transférentiels. Ces questions, avant tout cliniques mais également éthiques, sont abordées à travers le travail en équipe dans un centre de crise à Genève.
La connaissance de soi
Authors: Valdivia Fuenzalida José Antonio
Published: October 2016

Ce travail propose une analyse détaillée d’un argument de Pierre de Jean Olivi utilisé dans l’article 19 de son Impugnatio quorundam articulorum Arnaldi Galliardi (1282) contre une thèse professée par Thomas d’Aquin à propos de la connaissance que l’âme humaine a d’elle-même. Le texte d’Olivi cherche à prouver que l’homme peut connaître directement des réalités immatérielles, dont son âme. Le but de cette analyse est double. D’une part, il s’agit de mettre en évidence une difficulté suscitée par la théorie thomasienne de la connaissance que l’âme humaine a d’elle-même, tout du moins selon la façon dont cette théorie apparaît dans les textes disponibles ; d’autre part, de comparer l’argument et la thèse olivienne à l’interprétation que certains thomistes ont élaborée à propos de la doctrine thomasienne. Cette comparaison révèle une similitude qui suscite un questionnement critique à propos de telles interprétations.
Quality Assessment of Self-Directed Software and Mobile Applications for the Treatment of Mental Illness
Authors: Torous John , Powell Adam , Knable Michael B.
Published: October 2016

As interest and use of behavioral health mobile-based applications (apps) continues to expand, there remains a lack of consensus on how to determine whether apps are effective and safe. In this article, we offer a nonexhaustive narrative review of current and past app quality assessment efforts within different environments: academic groups, government agencies, independent nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies, and professional societies. We explore the benefits and limitations of these many efforts to rate behavioral health apps and discuss the next steps for the field in creating more advanced, rigorous, and inclusive quality measures for apps.

« Les garçons en ont assez »
Authors: Collaud Yves
Published: October 2016

Entre 1946 et 1948, le directeur de la Maison d’éducation de Vennes, Henri Bourquin, est mis en cause dans une affaire d’abus sexuels. Bien que les débats du Grand Conseil vaudois ainsi que la presse de l’époque parlent de cette affaire, les autorités ont tout fait afin de rester discrètes autour de celle-ci. Notre article propose de s’intéresser aux pièces conservées afin de comprendre pourquoi les abus commis par Bourquin n’ont pas donné lieu à un scandale. Pour cela, nous nous intéresserons aux différents documents afin de suivre trois axes de recherche : quels sont les mécanismes qui ont permis d’éviter un scandale, comment peut-on comprendre la survenue des abus dans le contexte de l’institution et comment la parole des enfants a-t-elle été reçue.
‘Prison is one place you don’t want your sexuality’
Authors: Mackenzie Sonja , Rubin Emma , Gómez Cynthia
Published: October 2016

This paper explores intimate linkages between race, sexuality and mass incarceration in the state of California in the USA. While stories abound about the ubiquity of prisoner sex, interviews with 48 formerly incarcerated behaviorally bisexual Black men reveal men’s varied experiences of sex and sexuality within carceral institutions. We suggest carceral intimacies as an integrative framework that captures how power is negotiated by prisoners through intimate relationships in prison settings.
Intimacy and power: body searches and intimate visits in the prison system of São Paulo, Brazil
Authors: Godoi Rafael
Published: October 2016

In this article, I discuss some injunctions and constraints that enable and regulate heterosexual intimate encounters inside male prisons in São Paulo, Brazil. From considerations about the body searches of prisoners´ relatives and intimate visits inside these prisons, I intend to contribute to the field of prison studies in three main areas. First, I reveal certain elements that improve the characterization of the prisons of São Paulo and Brazil that has prevailed in the international literature; second, I aim to problematize current forms of the phenomenon of mass incarceration based on the dynamics and prison conditions specific to the context of the global south; finally, I intend to widen the field of empirical and conceptual references in the analysis of the social experience of families of prison members, especially women who visit their partners who are behind bars.
La représentation de la sexualité des femmes incarcérées au petit écran.
Authors: Beaulieu Julie
Published: October 2016

Cette étude porte sur la représentation de la sexualité dans la première saison de la populaire télésérie québécoise Unité 9 (2012-2013). L’analyse de segments-clés de la série met en avant la complexité des identités sexuelles, de même que la marginalisation du milieu carcéral féminin dans lequel la sexualité peut être vécue et comprise comme « déviante », notamment en référence à la norme hétérosexuelle en vigueur à l’extérieur des murs. Tirant profit des réflexions de Judith Butler, et plus largement des approches sociologiques, féministes et queer de la représentation de la sexualité, l’analyse permet entre autres de cerner dans quelle mesure les désirs et pratiques sexuelles peuvent s’éloigner (temporairement ou non) de l’orientation sexuelle vécue avant l’incarcération. C’est-à-dire comment l’isolement et le confinement peuvent modifier les comportements sexuels des femmes incarcérées, et, conséquemment, bouleverser leur identité sexuelle.
L’expérience carcérale religieuse des pointeurs, ou la recherche du salut
Authors: Sarg Rachel
Published: October 2016

Cet article analyse la place spécifique de la religion en tant que ressource permettant de contourner les stigmates carcéraux à la fois sur le plan spatial et identitaire. Il définit les hiérarchies carcérales au prisme de la religion et montre comment la fréquentation de l’aumônerie chrétienne offre d’une part, la possibilité de créer un espace protégé et d’autre part, de mobiliser des croyances à des fins de réhabilitation individuelle.
La sexualité en milieu carcéral : au cœur des représentations de personnes incarcérées
Authors: François Axelle
Published: October 2016

Dans cet article, nous présentons les principaux résultats obtenus à l’issue d’une étude sur la sexualité en milieu carcéral au sein de dix établissements pénitentiaires belges entre 2012 et 2013. Recourant à une méthodologie quantitative et prenant un appui théorique sur les découvertes de Sykes (1958), et plus particulièrement le modèle de privation, notre recherche se centre sur l’étude de la sexualité incarcérée non seulement à travers les enjeux majeurs qu’elle revêt pour les individus concernés mais aussi à travers son impact sur la dynamique institutionnelle. Découvrant la permanence du désir sexuel malgré les contraintes privatives de la prison, notre étude met en évidence que les personnes incarcérées cherchent à s’adapter pour compenser l’absence de sexualité. Sous l’impact de l’âge et de la durée d’incarcération, ce processus d’adaptation se spécifie en trois styles de conceptions privilégiant tantôt un positionnement plus rigide, tantôt plus édulcoré ou encore un positionnement plus tolérant à l’égard des valeurs et des pratiques en lien avec la sexualité incarcérée.
Deux mois à la Légion : une autre vision de la forêt
Authors: Tourneau François-Michel Le
Published: October 2016

Ce texte présente des réflexions à partir de ma participation au stage de formation "chef de section forêt" organisé par la Légion étrangère dans son centre de formation en Guyane, le Centre d'Entraînement à la Forêt Equatoriale (CEFE).Tout en décrivant le déroulement du stage à la manière d'un carnet de terrain, j'y compare les enseignements reçus à cette occasion avec ceux d'autres contextes, notamment avec mes expériences chez les Amérindiens. En faisant le point sur les apports de cette aventure pour la pratique de la géographie en forêt amazonienne, je finis par répondre à une question que Molière n'aurait pas reniée : "Que diable allait-il faire dans cette galère ?".
Sub-Supplier's Decision Affect Supply Chain Performance
Authors: Kumar Manoj
Published: October 2016

This paper studies how transfer pricing schemes interact with sub suppliers' opportunistic behaviors to affect supply chain performance. Effective supply chain management requires careful consideration of sub-suppliers', especially with respect to transfer pricing issues. Firms increasingly approach their sub-suppliers to drive compliance with firms' defined transfer pricing schemes. The paper models the supply chain incorporating asymmetric information among all the parties, supplier's innovation activities, sub suppliers' corruption possibility, and transfer pricing schemes. It examines the impact of various transfer pricing schemes on supply chain efficiency. Specifically, it conducts a performance comparison between the variable-cost transfer pricing scheme and the full-cost transfer pricing scheme. The paper finds that the sub supplier's choice of a transfer pricing scheme affects the supplier's sourcing decisions and the supply chain performance, and the variable-cost transfer pricing scheme performs better in achieving supply chain coordination. Therefore, the present research seeks to explore and increase one's understanding of critical factors that contribute to overcome aforementioned complexities and unique challenges of managing sub-suppliers for transfer pricing schemes. The present research expands on the theory of transfer pricing schemes and sub-supplier management context.
