En zone de forêt tropicale, les ligneux compagnes offrent de multiples services écosystémiques aux populations locales. Cependant, ils sont sur le point de disparaitre du fait que les agriculteurs ont désormais des objectifs tournés vers la production massive. Cette étude avait pour objectif d’analyser l’impact del’installation des exploitations cacaoyères et hévéicolessur la diversité de ces ligneux dansla région de l’Indénié-Djuablin en Côte d’Ivoire.Une enquête a été menée auprès de 108 agriculteurs (73 hommes et 35 femmes) de la région afin de connaître les processus et les activités relatifs à l’installation de leurs exploitations agricoles. Puis, la densité, l’aire basale et la diversité des ligneux compagnes ont étéévaluées à l’intérieur de 108 exploitations agricoles (54 cacaoyères et 54 hévéicoles) de différentes classes d’âge.Ceci a permis de comparerces parcelles agricoles à celles des forêts en reconstitution servant de témoins. Pour installer de nouvelles parcelles agricoles, ces agriculteurs réduisent la densité des arbresen fonction du type de culture et mettent le feu à la parcelle à exploiter. Ainsi lenombre moyen d’espèces de ligneux compagnesvarie de 4,92 à 6,17 espèces dans les exploitations à base de Theobroma cacao et de 2,08 et 2,50 espèces dans les exploitations à base de Hevea basiliensis. Toutefois, ces valeurs diffèrent de celle des forêts en reconstitution qui est en moyenne de 15,58 espèces.Contrairement aux exploitationsà base de Hevea brasiliensis, l’établissement des exploitations à base de Theobroma cacaoa eu comme conséquence une plus grande conservation de la diversité structurale et fonctionnelle des ligneux compagnes.

Relações de gênero no livro didático de História: a disputa entre a norma e os costumes em 2007 e 2015
Authors: Ribeiro Allan Alves da Mata , Silva Adriana Maria Paulo da 
Published: August 2020

Analisamos as concepções de masculinidades e/ou feminilidades presentes na materialidade discursiva de livros didáticos de História endereçados ao Ensino Médio público brasileiro. Enquanto fontes, selecionamos edições distintas da obra “História Global – Brasil e Geral”: a edição volume único, aprovada pelo edital do PNLEM/2007; e a coleção didática aprovada pelo edital do PNLD/2015. Em diálogo com Scott (1994, 1995, 1998), Crenshaw (2002, 2012, 2017) e Akotirene (2018), mobilizamos nessa análise o conceito de “modos de endereçamento” (ELLSWORTH, 2001). Advindo dos estudos de cinema e comunicação, o conceito diz respeito ao evento de relação entre o texto fílmico e o lugar social do público. Consideramos que a análise do endereçamento nos livros didáticos de História compreende a observação das estratégias de estruturação e apresentação dos enunciados disponibilizados pelas obras. Concluímos que a abordagem dos conhecimentos históricos adotada pela obra, conforme os costumes, naturalizou assimetrias de poder entre as masculinidades e feminilidades históricas e socialmente construídas. Tomadas enquanto “dado” histórico indigno de nota nos “textos principais”, a composição atualizou, no conhecimento histórico escolar, apesar dos regramentos, os posicionamentos costumeiros relativos ao masculino e feminino.

Fenêtres sur cases : la fenêtre comme figure réflexive dans quelques bandes dessinées contemporaines
Authors: Garric Henri 
Published: August 2020

Cet article décrit comment la bande dessinée peut proposer un nouveau paradigme de réflexivité : la fenêtre prend la place du miroir et remplace une réflexivité du sujet par une réflexivité du code. Les fenêtres dans les bandes dessinées sont les équivalents des cases et elles structurent la planche comme des façades d’immeubles. Plusieurs dessinateurs (de Will Eisner à Pascal Rabaté) utilisent le potentiel spectaculaire de la fenêtre pour montrer explicitement le fonctionnement propre de leurs oeuvres et inventent de nouvelles formes d’albums qui vont déconstruire ou reconstruire la représentation.
Pop Art and Nostalgia: The New Lessons of David Vandermeulen’s Ric Remix
Authors: Frey Hugo 
Published: August 2020

Dans cet article l’auteur propose une analyse originale de l’oeuvre de David Vandermeulen,Ric Remix(2012), en soulignant la manière dont cette bande dessinée s’approprie et réinvente la série classique réalisée par Tibet & Duchateau, « Ric Hochet ». Le personnage de Ric Hochet est d’abord apparu pour la première fois dans leMagazine Tintinavant sa sérialisation à compter de 1961.Les aventures de Ric Hochetsont encore publiées de nos jours. L’article se sert de l’oeuvre de Vandermeulen pour montrer qu’elle ne correspond pas aux nombreuses attentes contemporaines concernant la relation entre bande dessinée et Pop Art, ni à la mode actuelle pour la nostalgie en tant quetoposcontemporain de la narration graphique. L’hypothèse défendue ici est queRic Remixmontre que le format narratif graphique peut utiliser et récupérer des images et des techniques pop art sans ressentiment. Dès lors, il appert que le travail rétro peut offrir de nouvelles perspectives fascinantes lorsqu’il est soutenu par une philosophie politique forte.
La prison comme topique dans la bande dessinée au XXIe siècle : questions d’intertextualité et de réflexivité
Authors: Higelin Audrey 
Published: August 2020

Si la bande dessinée n’a évidemment pas attendu le XXIe siècle pour faire de la prison comme fait social une topique significative, ce sont véritablement dans ses occurrences récentes, liées au renouvellement du médium, qu’elle devient le sujet même de nombre d’albums de bande dessinée. En effet, l’importance prise par la prison dans la BD a partie liée avec ce que l’on appelle la BD de reportage, développée notamment par Etienne Davodeau et Joe Sacco, qui a pour volonté explicite de créer de l’empathie et de la solidarité affective entre les gens décrits et le lecteur. 20 ans ferme, « docu-fiction » de Ricard & Nicoby (2012), se place dans cette perspective, en plus d’admettre un objectif véritablement didactique et militant. Par ailleurs, ces dernières décennies ont vu se développer des récits autobiographiques comme ceux de Manu Larcenet ou encore Fabien Neaud, qui rendent compte de situations ordinaires en mettant en scène des héros parfois prisonniers de leur condition. L’autofiction et le témoignage sont aussi des viatiques génériques particulièrement propices au développement d’un discours sur la prison. Ainsi, Berthet One, dans L’Évasion (2011), propose-t-il un témoignage autofictionnel humoristique d’une expérience de détention réelle, alors que Bast, dans En chienneté, relate son expérience d’animateur d’un atelier de BD au sein d’un établissement carcéral, usant de la focalisation externe pour servir des procédés réflexifs.
Il s’agira donc, en se concentrant sur les références évoquées plus haut, mais sans exclure d’autres occurrences pouvant se montrer éclairantes, de mettre l’accent dans cet article sur les dimensions intertextuelles et la réflexivité dans la bande dessinée ayant la prison pour thème principal.
Shielding Polysulfide Intermediates by an Organosulfur‐Containing Solid Electrolyte Interphase on the Lithium Anode in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Published: August 2020

AbstractThe lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery is regarded as a promising high‐energy‐density battery system, in which the dissolution–precipitation redox reactions of the S cathode are critical. However, soluble Li polysulfides (LiPSs), as the indispensable intermediates, easily diffuse to the Li anode and react with the Li metal severely, thus depleting the active materials and inducing the rapid failure of the battery, especially under practical conditions. Herein, an organosulfur‐containing solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is tailored for the stabilizaiton of the Li anode in Li–S batteries by employing 3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)thiophenol as an electrolyte additive. The organosulfur‐containing SEI protects the Li anode from the detrimental reactions with LiPSs and decreases its corrosion. Under practical conditions with a high‐loading S cathode (4.5 mgS cm−2), a low electrolyte/S ratio (5.0 µL mgS−1), and an ultrathin Li anode (50 µm), a Li–S battery delivers 82 cycles with an organosulfur‐containing SEI in comparison to 42 cycles with a routine SEI. This work provokes the vital insights into the role of the organic components of SEI in the protection of the Li anode in practical Li–S batteries.
Mechanical Device Designed for Preventing Hydrocyclone Clogging and Air‐Core Formation
Authors: da Silva Joaquim Moroni , Bicalho Isabele Cristina , Ataíde Carlos Henrique 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThe clogging of hydrocyclones as part of the solids control system in the oil industry is a recurrent operational problem. This occurs mainly due to the agglomeration of fine solids in the underflow duct and also to the incidence of higher‐size‐range particles than those specified for the equipment. Another common issue that results in poor performance is the formation of an air‐core in the low‐pressure zone of the separator. In this study, an innovative device coupled to the underflow output of the hydrocyclone was developed in order to minimize these problems. The aim is to mechanically adjust the apex area in a fast and accurate manner, and thus create oscillations in the inlet pressure and flows, constituting a safety system to prevent clogging and air‐core formation.
The Intrinsic Structural Resistance of a Grain Boundary to Transverse Ionic Conduction
Authors: Genreith‐Schriever Annalena R. , Parras Jana P. , Heelweg Henrik J. , De Souza Roger A. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractIon transport across grain boundaries in diverse polycrystalline ionic conductors is often found to be hindered. Such behaviour is commonly attributed to the presence of a highly resistive second phase or to the presence of space‐charge zones, in which mobile charge carriers are strongly depleted. One other possible cause – the severe perturbation of the crystal structure within the grain‐boundary core – is widely ignored. Employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the model Σ5(310)[001] grain boundary in fluorite‐structured CeO2, we demonstrate an approach to extract the intrinsic structural resistance of a grain boundary (to ionic transport across it), and we determine this excess resistance as a function of temperature. Compared with space‐charge resistances predicted for a dilute solution of charge carriers the structural resistance of this interface is orders of magnitude smaller at temperatures below T≈1000 K but at T>1200 K it is no longer negligible.
Sarcomeric TPM3 expression in human heart and skeletal muscle

Published: August 2020

AbstractIn mammals, four tropomyosin genes TPM1, TPM2, TPM3, and TPM4 are known. One isoform of the TPM3 gene, encoding 285 amino acid residues designated as TPM3α, has been reported. TPM3α protein expression in human hearts is not definitively established. We have cloned from human heart and skeletal muscle transcripts of TPM3α and three novel TPM3 isoforms, TPM3ν, TPM3ξ, and TPM3ο. TPM3ν and TPM3ο are alternatively spliced RNAs with different 3′‐UTRs encoding an identical novel protein with 285 amino acid differing from TPM3α and TPM3ξ in exon 6 only. TPM3α and TPM3ξ, which have different 3′UTRs, also encode an identical protein. qRT‐PCR data show that the transcripts of TPM3α, TPM3ν, TPM3ξ, and TPM3ο are expressed in both heart and skeletal muscle. We have evaluated the expression of various TPM proteins in fetal and adult human hearts, and also in skeletal muscle samples. Western blots using CG3 antibody show a stronger signal of TPM3 protein in fetal heart and adult skeletal muscle compared to adult heart. LC–MS/MS studies with the protein spots separated and identified by CH1 antibody after 2D Western blot analyses, confirm the expression of TPM3α/TPM3ξ in heart, but some peptides detected could be either TPM3α or TPM3ν. In heart samples, TPM1 protein was the dominant with varying amount of TPM2 and TPM3, while TPM4 expression was not observed. In skeletal muscles, TPM2 was the majority TPM protein expressed. The biological consequences of these varying expression of individual tropomyosin proteins are yet to be established.
Analysis and control of a single switch wider step‐down gain DC–DC converter for low‐voltage applications
Authors: Misal Shrikant , Veerachary Mummadi 
Published: August 2020

SummaryThis paper presents a point‐of‐load transformerless DC–DC converter having a wider step‐down conversion ratio. In comparison with quadratic/stacked buck converter variants, the presented topology exhibits nonpulsating source current, more effective switch utilization at small voltage gains, and reduced current stress on components. Its comprehensive steady‐state analysis is carried out under continuous and discontinuous modes of inductor currents, and design criteria to select L‐C components are established. State variable dependency feature in the topology, imposing a reduced fourth‐order dynamics, is discussed and subsequently verified from its average model. A fixed frequency sliding mode controller is then designed with a step‐by‐step evaluation of sliding surface existence, reachability, and stability conditions. The equivalent control law devised in this scheme is duly constituted from source side inductor current dynamics and load voltage error information, so it facilitates simple realization as well as better transient response. Remarkable operational characteristics of the presented converter are studied analytically and demonstrated with experimental observations on a laboratory prototype.
Validation of presence‐only models for conservation planning and the application to whales in a multiple‐use marine park
Authors: Smith Joshua N. , Kelly Natalie , Renner Ian W. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractIdentification of species’ Biologically Important Areas (BIAs) is fundamental to conservation planning and species distribution models (SDMs) are a powerful tool commonly used to do this. Presence‐only data are increasingly being used to develop SDMs to aid the conservation decision‐making process. The application of presence‐only SDMs for marine species’ is particularly attractive due to often logistical and economic costs of obtaining systematic species’ distribution data. However, robust model validation is important for conservation management applications that require accurate and reliable species’ occurrence data (e.g., spatially explicit risk assessments). This is commonly done using a random subset of the data and less commonly with fully independent test data. Here, we apply a spatial block cross‐validation (CV) approach to validate a MaxEnt presence‐only model using independent presence/absence survey data for a highly mobile, marine species (humpback whale,Megaptera novaengliae) in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). A MaxEnt model was developed using opportunistic whale sightings (2003–2007) and then used to identify areas differing in habitat suitability (low, medium, high) to conduct a systematic, line‐transect, aerial survey (2012) and derive a density surface model. A spatial block CV buffering strategy was used to validate the MaxEnt model, using the opportunistic sightings as training data and independent aerial survey sightings data as test data. Moderate performance measures indicate MaxEnt was reliable in identifying the distribution patterns of a mobile whale species on their breeding ground, indicated by areas of high density aligned to areas of high habitat suitability. Furthermore, we demonstrate that MaxEnt models can be useful and cost‐effective for designing a sampling scheme to undertake systematic surveys that significantly reduces sampling effort. In this study, higher quality information on whale reproductive class (calf vs. non‐calf groups) was obtained that the presence‐only data lacked, while sampling only 18% of the GBR World Heritage Area. The validation approach using fully independent data provides greater confidence in the MaxEnt model, which indicates significant overlap with the main breeding ground of humpback whales and the inner shipping route. This is important when evaluating presence‐only models within certain conservation management applications, such as spatial risk assessments.

AbstractAimsCurrent guidelines recommend beta‐blocker therapy in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) titrated according to tolerated target dose. The efficiency of this strategy to obtain adequate heart rate (HR) control remains unclear in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to determine, in a real‐world setting, the proportion of HFrEF patients who fail to achieve beta‐blocker target doses, whether target doses of beta‐blockers have a relationship with the adequacy in reducing resting HR over time.Methods and resultsBeta‐blocker dose and resting HR of consecutive ambulatory patients with a diagnosis of HFrEF (ejection fraction ≤ 35%) in sinus rhythm were reviewed at the first outpatient contact in the Cleveland Clinic Health System from the year 2000 to 2015. Patients who did not receive beta‐blocker therapy, have congenital heart disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, were not in sinus rhythm, or have a history of heart transplant were excluded. Patients were followed up until their last known visit at the Cleveland Clinic. Median resting HR was 71 b.p.m. [inter‐quartile range (IQR) 60–84 b.p.m.] in 8041 patients (median age 65; 68% male) with 67% on carvedilol, 32% on metoprolol succinate, and 1% on bisoprolol. In 3674 subjects (56%), resting HR was ≥70 b.p.m. At final follow‐up after a median of 21 months (IQR 0.1–7.2 years), resting HR was 72 b.p.m. (IQR 60–84 b.p.m.) in the subset of patients with persistently low ejection fraction ≤ 35%. HR ≥ 70 b.p.m. was observed in 55% of this group. Beta‐blocker target dose was achieved in 19%, 5%, and 15% of those receiving carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, and bisoprolol, respectively. In the subset of patients who experienced beta‐blocker up‐titration, reduced mortality or hospitalization due to heart failure was observed in patients who experienced the lowest HR after titration.ConclusionsIn our single‐centre experience, the majority of patients with chronic HFrEF treated with beta‐blocker therapy did not achieve target doses over time, and a substantial proportion had inadequate control of resting HR. There was no relationship between achieved beta‐blocker target dose and resting HR control.
