Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer (Lille, 1636-Londres, 1699) et le motif de la guirlande
Authors: Salvi Claudia 
Published: February 2019

À travers trois moments clés du parcours de Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer (1636–1699), l’auteur cherche non seulement à mettre en lumière les différents types de collaboration entre le peintre de nature morte et de fleurs qu’il a été avec Charles de La Fosse (1636–1716), mais encore à montrer que le rapport de hiérarchie unilatérale qui semble caractériser les liens que les peintres d’histoire et de « genre » entretenaient entre eux n’est pas aussi pertinent qu’on l’a dit. Ainsi, par-delà le cas Charles de La Fosse, l’auteur montre comment Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer se révèle moins l’auxiliaire du peintre d’histoire que l’alter ego de celui-ci dans le genre qui est le sien.
Variations sur la galerie des Glaces pour le château de Choisy ?
Authors: Gady Bénédicte 
Published: February 2019

Trente dessins très finis et relevés d’aquarelles par Charles de La Fosse conservés à Würzburg forment le puzzle d’un mystérieux décor plafonnant. Quatre feuilles de Michel II Corneille en donnent la clé : une copie d’après La Fosse en collection particulière, deux compartiments au British Museum et au Courtauld Institute, un projet d’ensemble au musée des Arts décoratifs. Elles suggèrent que les deux artistes ont répondu successivement à une même commande pour une galerie, dans la deuxième moitié des années 1680, permettent d’en restituer la structure et la disposition et d’en identifier les scènes. Dérivant de la galerie des Glaces, le décor exalte les victoires de Louis XIV pendant la guerre de Hollande, du Passage du Rhin au Traité de Nimègue. Des compartiments ovales louent les vertus et les missions du prince en s’inspirant du monnayage impérial. À Versailles comme ici, l’histoire du règne à travers le grand décor semble enrichir celle par les médailles et sa publication en 1702 par l’Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres. La galerie de La Fosse et de Corneille mêle personnages réels, dieux mythologiques et figures allégoriques sans confondre les registres comme le fait Le Brun à la galerie des Glaces. Une annotation ancienne désigne le château de Choisy comme destination, ce que plans et échelles corroborent. Serait-ce une commande de la Grande Mademoiselle après sa rupture avec Lauzun et l’abandon consécutif du projet de galerie sur le thème de Vénus ?
Introduction
Authors: Sarrazin Béatrice 
Published: February 2019

L’introduction souligne l’articulation entre l’exposition, « Charles de La Fosse (1636-1716) : le triomphe de la couleur », et le colloque « Charles de La Fosse et les arts en France autour de 1700 ». Cette première exposition monographique consacrée à l’artiste s’est tenue en 2015 au château de Versailles et au musée des beaux-arts de Nantes. Quarante peintures et une trentaine de dessins ainsi que les œuvres in situ, témoignages époustouflants de la verve créatrice du peintre, permettaient de montrer la richesse de sa carrière et la variété de son talent. En complément de l’exposition, le colloque fut l’occasion d’enrichir le corpus de l’artiste, de creuser des pistes, de cerner davantage son entourage et de lui redonner sa place dans les changements stylistiques de l’époque.
Conclusion : une génération La Fosse ? Nouveaux lieux et paradigmes de la peinture en France autour de 1700
Authors: Bonfait Olivier 
Published: February 2019

S’appuyant sur les différentes publications concernant Charles de La Fosse et sur les communications du colloque « Charles de La Fosse et les arts en France autour de 1700 » qui s’est tenu les 18 et 19 mai 2015 au château de Versailles, l’article revient d’abord sur la difficulté à caractériser et à nommer les importants changements stylistiques qui se font jour entre 1680 et 1720. Il souligne ensuite l’émergence d’un nouveau lieu pour la peinture en France, la peinture de plafond, pour laquelle les solutions plastiques sont multiples et qui amène l’artiste à établir un rapport plus approfondi avec le commanditaire, comme le montre le cas de La Fosse. Enfin, l’article insiste sur la naissance d’un nouvel objet dans la France de la fin du xviie siècle, le tableau, qui est mieux mis en valeur dans les intérieurs et prend son autonomie, à la fois parce qu’il est le lieu de citations de la part des peintres (et donc de prise de conscience d’une histoire), et parce qu’il est le support de discours savants et de conversations mondaines.
Lutein as an Ingredient in Pediatric Nutritionals
Authors: Long Amy C , Kuchan Matthew , Mackey Amy D 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Lutein is a xanthophyll carotenoid that can be found in a variety of fruits and vegetables that may be limiting in the pediatric diet, which makes it an attractive nutrient for addition to supplemental nutritional products. Including lutein in the diet from a young age may provide protective benefits during a critical time of ocular and cognitive development. Lutein accumulation in eye and brain has led to research to better define the physiological role of this nutrient. Infants are exposed to lutein primarily through the consumption of breast milk or infant formulas containing lutein. The ingredient has been evaluated to be safe by many scientific and regulatory authorities for the addition to food, including formulated nutritional products. Nonhuman primates have been important in the investigation of the role dietary lutein in eye and brain function. Studies examining diets low or absent in lutein have revealed the impact on brain and eye function. Diets low in lutein may compromise neural tissues such as those found in the eye, which are susceptible to oxidation from blue wavelength light. No dietary recommendations have been established for lutein; however, several publications have highlighted the accumulating evidence that lutein provides long-term benefits when incorporated in adequate amounts in the diet.

Published: February 2019

The oblique impact of a flexible and a nearly rigid plate on a quiescent water surface is studied experimentally. Both plates are 122 cm long by 38 cm wide and are mounted with a 5° upward pitch angle and a 10° lateral roll angle. The plates are attached to a dual-axis instrument carriage. The horizontal and vertical components of the carriage (plate) motion are driven by servo motors and controlled by a single computer-based feedback system, which is set with a single trajectory that is traversed for all impact speeds. The transient strain at multiple locations on the upper surface of the plate is measured with optical fiber Bragg grating sensors and the out-of-plane deformation is measured with a photographic method. A cinematic laser-induced fluorescence technique is used to measure the water spray generated during the impact. Two types of spray are observed and several aspects of the spray behavior are found to be noticeably affected by the deformation of the plate. The maximum deflection along the plate's upper long edge is found to increase almost linearly with impact velocity.

1. Introduction
In rough seas, planing boats moving at high speed frequently slam into the water surface. The slamming process involves large highly transient pressures and forces on the hull, rapid accelerations of the boat and the water, the generation of water spray, and significant structural responses. This phenomenon is difficult to study numerically and experimentally because of the large motions of the hull and the violent motions of the water free surface, including the formation of spray sheets and the structural responses coupled with the flow dynamics.
The problem of slamming (water entry) has received significant attention in the past. Many of the previous studies on this subject examine fundamental problems, such as the impact of a wedge or a flat plate on water surface. Some early theoretical studies on the water entry of a rigid wedge include, e.g., Von Karman (1929) and Wagner (1932). Wagner's model considers the water rising adjacent to the surface of a vertically moving wedge with small deadrise angle. This model was later extended to higher order (e.g., Oliver 2007) and other geometries (e.g., Howison et al. 1991). Based on Wagner's theory, Dobrovol'Skaya (1969) derived a similarity solution to the water entry of a wedge and the solution at small deadrise angles (down to 4°) was computed numerically by Zhao and Faltinsen (1993) using a nonlinear boundary element method. De Divitiis and de Socio (2002) studied the water entry of symmetric and asymmetric wedges. In their method, the flow field is represented by potential flow singularities whose intensities are determined as part of the solution. Moore et al. (2012) did a numerical study of normal and oblique water entry of a threedimensional rigid body with its bottom surface nearly parallel to the water surface.

Published: February 2019

The study was conducted in Central Brahmaputra Valley and Upper Brahmaputra Valley Zone of Assam in India. The present study is an attempt to study the effect of mechanization on income and limiting factors of farm mechanization of the sample farms. Primary data of 240 sample farms by personal interview schedule method was used for examining the effect of farm mechanization on income along with limiting factors for mechanization adoption . All data collected from sample farms pertains to the year 2014-15. Tabular, per cent analysis were done and results obtained from these analysis were summarized to examine the impact of farm mechanization on income . In case of Tractor Ownership Farm, Tractor Hired Farm, Power Tiller Ownership Farm, Power Tiller Hired Farm and Bullock Operated Farm gross return per cropped hectare were Rs.62916.24, Rs. 61370.31, Rs.62408.87, Rs. 56783.89 and Rs.34425.58, respectively. Family labour income and net income also had inverse relationship with farm size in each categories of mechanized and Bullock Operated Farm and exception in case of under Group III under Tractor Hired Farm. Family labour income and net income relative proportion of each mechanized farm was higher over Bullock Operated Farm. Net return were observed to be Rs. 33898.17, Rs.377.76, Rs. 33606.45, Rs.27831.05 and Rs. (-)12075.51 in Tractor Ownership Farm, Tractor Hired Farm, Power Tiller Ownership Farm, Power Tiller Hired Farm and Bullock Operated Farms, respectively. Family labour income and net income also had inverse relationship with farm size in each categories of mechanized and Bullock Operated Farm and exception in case of under Group III under Tractor Hired Farm. Family labour income and net income relative proportion of each mechanized farm was higher over Bullock Operated Farm. Hence it was observed that there was positive impact of farm mechanization on income. In case of Tractor Hired Farm net income was higher than Tractor Ownership Farm. Small and scattered land holding and inadequate sufficient funds to meet the initial cost of purchasing were the most serious problem faced by the farmers in the study area as out of total household 170 and 169 numbers of farmers found it most serious in case of small and scattered land holding and high initial cost to purchase the machineries respectively So, hence effort should be given to make available of the tractors amongst the farmers in the study area through establishment of Farm Machinery Banks for custom hiring along with development financing of second hand tractors for small farmers having operational holding less than 2 hectares should been given to make economical use machineries amongst the small farmers in the study area.

Published: February 2019

The adequate knowledge of the weather behavior is very important for the design and management of socioeconomical, environmental and sustainability human interests in the coasts and oceans. In the present study an extreme value analysis of maximum significant waves recorded at a buoy located in the Pacific Ocean was carried out. The analysis was carried out from two perspectives, by considering a Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) model with stationary distribution (i.e., the time variations are not accounted for), and by considering a non-stationary GEV model, which incorporates the monthly seasonality of maximum observed values in time increments; the maximum significant wave behavior was parameterized using harmonic functions for the distribution measures. Both approaches were compared for a single buoy. In the study a seasonality effect was found, which was also present at the Gulf of Mexico in previous studies, and which cannot be captured by a stationary model.

Published: February 2019

Objectives: To study the effect of concomitant administering of pomegranate juice orally (PJ) on bioavailability of cyclosporine A (CsA) and independently its potential nephroprotective effect against CsA induced nephrotoxicity.
Methods: A- Pharmacokinetic study (PK), Wister rats were divided into groups (each 6 rats) I-: CsA PO + Vehicle; II- CsA IP + Vehicle, III- CsA PO + PJ, IV- CsA IP + PJ. CsA dose was 20 mg/kg for 5 days the vehicle or PJ (2 ml) was given 1 h before drug administration. Blood samples were taken at the 1st and 5th day at specified times and CsA level was determined by immune assays. Relative bioavailability of CsA was determined.
B- Nephroprotection study (separate study to administer bioequivalent CsA PO doses, in view of PK study), I- ( CsA 13 mg PO + 2 ml PJ .II- CsA 20 mg P0 + 2 ml vehicle (for 28 day). The design also includes two control groups (vehicle alone or PJ alone). Blood samples for drug analysis, biochemical investigations and kidney samples for histopathology were taken at the 28th day.
Results: PJ juice enhanced the bioavailability of oral CsA by about 50% (P > 0.05). But CsA (IP) was not affected after repeated administration for 5 days. Independently, the marked kidney damage induced by CsA was reversed by concomitant administration of PJ as well as it attenuated the increase in serum creatinine.
Conclusions: Repeated administration of pomegranate juice enhance CsA oral bioavailability which likely due to inhibition of intestinal enzymes and transport pump. Independently it caused significant attenuation of CsA induced renal toxicity.

Bacteria are the major contributor of ocular infections worldwide. This can damage the structures of the eye with possible blindness and visual impairments, if left untreated. This study was undertaken to determine bacterial agents of conjunctivitis among individuals from onchocerciasis endemic area in Anambra State, Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study involving ninety-two (92) randomly recruited test subjects undergoing ivermectin therapy aged between 11-80 years with signs and symptoms of onchocerciasis infection and bacterial conjunctivitis at Isu-Anaocha community in Anambra state between October and November, 2016. Ninety-two (92) apparently healthy subjects without signs and symptoms of onchocerciasis and bacterial conjunctivitis with normal vision, within the age of 11-80 years from the same community were used as control subjects, making a total of 184 participants. Visual acuity test was conducted on the participants using Snellen’s alphabet chart and illiterate E chart. Phenotypic and antibiotic susceptibility tests of these isolates were carried out according to Kirby - Bauer disc diffusion method guidelines. In the test group, 22 out of 92 conjunctival samples yielded bacterial growth, giving percentage prevalence of 23.9%, with age group 41-50 years having the highest frequency 7(31.8%) among individuals co-infected with onchocerciasis infection whereas 72 out of 92 conjunctival samples in the control group yielded bacterial growth giving percentage prevalence of 78.3%, with age group 41-50 years having the highest frequency 35(37.2%) among individuals that had no signs and symptoms of onchocerciasis infection. The predominant bacteria isolated was Staphylococcus aureus 8(36%) in the test group and 20 (28%) in the control group, giving a total of 28 (30%). Other bacterial isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae 17 (18%), Staph. epidermidis 15 (16%), Escherichia coli 13(14%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 12(13%) and Salmonella spp. 9(9%). Antibiotic susceptibility testing showed that Gentamicin and fluoroquinolones are most active against Gram positive bacteria in conjunctivitis while Augmentin was found to be the most active against Gram negative organisms, therefore, recommended as first line drug. Visual acuity (VA) test done on the test group showed that 52 (57%) persons had normal vision, 20 (22%) had mild visual impairment, 15 (16%) had moderate visual impairment, 5(5%) had severe visual impairment but none was blind. All forms of visual impairment are not wholly attributable to bacterial conjunctivitis as some could be due to ageing and uncorrected refractive errors.
Effective field theory of time-translational symmetry breaking in nonequilibrium open system
Authors: Hongo Masaru , Kim Suro , Noumi Toshifumi , Ota Atsuhisa 
Published: February 2019

AbstractWe develop the effective field theoretical (EFT) approach to time-translational symmetry breaking of nonequilibrium open systems based on the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. In the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, all the symmetries of the microscopic Lagrangian are doubled essentially because the dynamical fields are doubled to describe the time-evolution along the closed-time-path. The effective Lagrangian for open systems are then obtained by coarse-graining the microscopic Schwinger-Keldysh Lagrangian. As a consequence of coarse-graining procedure, there appear the noise and dissipation effects, which explicitly break the doubled time-translational symmetries into a diagonal one. We therefore need to incorporate this symmetry structure to construct the EFT for Nambu-Goldstone bosons in symmetry broken phases of open systems. Based on this observation together with the consistency of the Schwinger-Keldysh action, we construct and study the general EFT for time-translational symmetry breaking in particular, having in mind applications to synchronization, time crystal, and cosmic inflation.

Published: February 2019

AbstractBackgroundProphylactic administration of somatostatin analogues (SA) to reduce the incidence of post‐operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains contentious. This meta‐analysis evaluated its impact on outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).MethodsThe EMBASE, MEDLINE and Cochrane databases were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating prophylactic SA following PD. Comparative effects were summarised as odds ratio and weighted mean difference based on an intention to treat. Quantitative pooling of the effect sizes was derived using the random‐effects model.Main resultsTwelve RCTs were included involving 1615 patients [SA‐treated group (n = 820) and control group (n = 795)]. The SA used included somatostatin‐14, pasireotide, vapreotide and octreotide. Pooling of the data showed no significant benefit of its use for the primary outcome measure of all grades of POPF, odds ratio (OR) 0.73 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.51–1.05, p = 0.09] and clinically relevant POPF, OR 0.48 [95% CI, 0.22–1.06, p = 0.07]. There were no benefits in the secondary outcome measures of delayed gastric emptying, OR 0.98 [95% CI, 0.57–1.69, p = 0.94]; infected abdominal collections, OR 0.80 [95% CI, 0.44–1.43, p = 0.80]; reoperation rates, OR 1.24 [95% CI, 0.73–2.13, p = 0.42]; duration of hospital stay, − 0.23 [95% CI − .59 to 1.13, p = 0.74]; and mortality, 1.78 [95% CI, 0.94–3.39, p = 0.08].ConclusionSA did not improve the post‐operative outcomes following PD, including reducing the incidence of POPF. The routine administration of SA cannot be recommended following PD.
Atopic dermatitis and autoimmunity: the occurrence of autoantibodies and their association with disease severity
Authors: Holmes James , Fairclough Lucy C. , Todd Ian 
Published: February 2019

AbstractAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a widespread condition that appears to be increasing in prevalence and severity worldwide, yet the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Recent research has identified various similarities between AD and autoimmune conditions, as well as indicating that there may be an association between AD and autoimmunity. This systematic review evaluates the association between AD and autoimmunity, as well as between severity of disease in AD and autoimmunity, with an emphasis on the associations with autoantibodies. MEDLINE (1946 to December 2017) and Embase (1974 to December 2017) databases were searched. Further relevant articles were retrieved from reference lists. Only studies measuring direct indicators of autoimmunity, in humans, were included. Qualitative analysis was carried out for all studies. In addition, quantitative analysis was used to evaluate prevalence of IgE autoantibodies and anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) in AD patients and control subjects. The Mantel–Haenszel method was used with a random-effects model. 28 studies assessed the occurrence of autoantibodies in AD patients and 16 studies were used to evaluate association between disease severity and autoantibodies. Pooled analysis from 14 studies, involving 986 AD patients and 441 control subjects, showed that IgE autoantibodies were significantly more prevalent in patients with AD (P < 0.00001) than control subjects. Similar analysis was carried out for ANAs, with eight studies that involved 1045 AD patients and 1273 control subjects. ANAs were significantly more prevalent in patients with AD (P = 0.003). This quantitative analysis supported an association between AD and IgE autoantibodies, as well as between AD and ANAs. There was insufficient data to make similar conclusions for other indicators of autoimmunity. The weight of evidence also suggests an association between IgE autoantibodies and disease severity. There was insufficient evidence to make this link for other indicators of autoimmunity.
