Testing the Cubic Galileon Gravity Model by the Milky Way Rotation Curve and SPARC Data
Authors: Chan Man Ho , Hui Hon Ka 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Recently, the cubic Galileon gravity (CGG) model has been suggested as an alternative gravity theory to general relativity. The model consists of an extra field potential term that can serve as the “fifth force.” In this article, we examine the possibility of whether or not this extra force term can explain the missing mass problem in galaxies without the help of dark matter. By using the Milky Way rotation curve and the Spitzer Photomery and Accurate Rotation Curves data, we show that this CGG model can satisfactorily explain the shapes of these rotation curves without dark matter. The CGG model can be regarded as a new alternative theory to challenge the existing dark matter paradigm.
La marque territoriale, outil de différenciation pour l’attractivité ? Étude empirique auprès de décideurs d’entreprise
Authors: Vuignier Renaud 
Published: April 2018

L’existence d’un « effet marque territoriale » dans le processus du choix d’implantation d’entreprises est souvent attendue, mais rarement étudiée empiriquement. Cette contribution analyse et discute l’adéquation entre les stratégies de place branding et le processus de décision des entreprises. D’une part, l’étude de la perception des décideurs d’entreprise (n=30) révèle un léger effet joué par la marque territoriale, secondaire par rapport aux facteurs d’attractivité traditionnels. D’autre part, en interrogeant des responsables d’agences de promotion économique et des experts (n=13), cette recherche aborde les questions de positionnement multiple et de multiscalarité à travers le cas d’un canton suisse.
Entretenir un rapport mobilisé à sa condition sociale en milieu populaire
Authors: Siblot Yasmine 
Published: April 2018

Résumé Nombre de travaux ont mis en lumière les processus de démobilisation politique au sein des classes populaires, tandis que d'autres se centrent sur les pratiques des militants les plus expérimentés. Ils laissent ainsi dans l'ombre des individus ou groupes de milieu populaire s'attachant à défendre leur situation matérielle mais aussi à valoriser leur statut social, sans avoir d'importantes ressources militantes. Ce type de dispositions et pratiques constitue ce que l'on propose d'appeler un rapport mobilisé à sa condition sociale. L'article montre que prendre en compte un tel rapport à sa condition éclaire les conditions de l'engagement syndical ordinaire et de sa pérennité. Il repose sur une enquête ethnographique auprès de déléguées d'atelier d'une blanchisserie hospitalière, où le personnel est majoritairement féminin et composé de migrantes. Dans ce contexte, les fondements de la pratique et de la sociabilité syndicales, qui renvoient au type de rapport mobilisé que ces femmes entretiennent à leur condition, sont triples : un rapport revendicatif aux institutions, la lutte contre la déconsidération du travail ouvrier et l'affirmation d'une respectabilité populaire féminine reposant sur des valeurs domestiques mais aussi sur un attachement à l'emploi salarié.Mobilization for One's Social Value and Trade Unionism Among the Working ClassesThe Case of Women Working in an Industrial LaundryMany researches have underlined the growing distance between the working classes and politics, while others focus on much experienced activists. The situations in between remain less studied. Nevertheless, many groups or persons among the working classes aim to improve materially and symbolically their social status, without being activists. We call in this paper this kind of practices and dispositions a rapport mobilisé à sa condition sociale. Taking into account theses practices and dispositions helps to understand the social conditions of ordinary commitment into trade unions. It is based on a field survey in the trade union of a laundry employing immigrant women. Their commitment in the union relies on the attachment to manual work and to public institutions but also on the fact that the sociability in the union strengthens their respectability of women, both as mothers and as workers.
L’éditorial de La Nación du 23 novembre 2015 : récit, impact, incidence
Authors: Guillemont Michèle 
Published: April 2018

Dans la nuit qui suivait la victoire électorale de l’Alliance Cambiemos aux élections présidentielles argentines de 2015 et de son candidat Mauricio Macri, le journal La Nación consacrait son éditorial, intitulé « No más venganza », à l’opportunité qu’offrait le changement politique à la tête de l’État pour en « finir avec les mensonges sur les années 70 », « les violations actuelles des droits de l’Homme » et la « honte nationale » que constituait l’emprisonnement d’accusés, de personnes mises en examen ou suspectées de « délits commis durant les années de la répression subversive » malgré leur « grand âge ». Nous nous proposons d’analyser ce texte et d’en indiquer l’impact et les incidences plus d’une année après les réactions de rejet qu’il avait provoquées.
Récits et mémoire de la rébellion au Venezuela : le « Caracazo » (1989-1992)
Authors: Bohórquez Douglas 
Published: April 2018

À partir de récits-témoignages et de récits littéraires, cet article étudie un des événements politiques et sociaux les plus importants des dernières décennies au Venezuela : l’insurrection populaire connue sous le nom de « Caracazo », survenue le 27 février 1989 et qui a eu un grand retentissement dans des soulèvements militaires ultérieurs, comme celui du 4 février 1992 dirigé par Hugo Chávez Frías, tournant décisif de l’histoire politique de ce pays.L’étude de plusieurs récits de différents énonciateurs permet d’interpréter deux formes différentes de mémoire : la mémoire sensible, liée à la douleur, la tristesse, la perte, le déchirement, et la mémoire politique, à travers des récits qui soulignent l’impact social de cette rébellion. L’étude porte sur la version narrative proposée par Hugo Chávez Frías dans Los cuentos del arañero, mise en face de récits de journalistes dont certains ont été témoins des faits ; de courts récits presque tous consultables en ligne. Ils sont ensuite confrontés à des récits littéraires de la même période, point de départ de la façon qu’a la littérature d’assumer la mémoire de cet événement.
« Dejar de recordar no puedo ». La poésie de la mémoire de Tino Villanueva entre intimisme et réalisme
Authors: Vives Simorra Daniel 
Published: April 2018

Dans l’œuvre de Tino Villanueva (1941, San Marcos, Texas, États-Unis), le lyrisme raffiné est inséparable d’un réalisme de la mémoire où la vie quotidienne des populations mexicaines-américaines au sud des États-Unis dans les années 50-60 retrouve une existence poétique. Dès Hay otra voz Poems (1972) et dans l’œuvre ultérieure des années 80-90 (Shaking Off the Dark, Crónica de mis años peores, Escena de la película Gigante / Scene from the movie Giant), nombreux sont les textes qui évoquent l’enfance dans les « barrios » du Texas, les conditions précaires de la vie familiale et plus généralement celle des « minorités » chicanas soumises à un ostracisme anglo, très souvent nourri d’un racisme inavoué ou même ostensible. Sans préjudice porté à une écriture authentiquement poétique, cette omniprésence du souvenir offre ainsi un « vérisme » inédit qui redonne une existence subjective aux conditions familiales, socio-économiques, politiques, linguistiques que connurent ces communautés. On commente également la présence laissée dans cette œuvre par la « Renaissance chicana » des années 60 (« Renacimiento chicano » dont Tino Villanueva fut l’un des principaux représentants) avec ses révoltes, ses utopies, son activisme, son fragile multilinguisme (le code-switching, le changement de code) qui, sous sa forme la plus radicale et systématisée, ne pouvait conduire qu’à une impasse. Dans les travaux récents de Villanueva, on peut observer une évolution dans la pratique du bilinguisme poétique ainsi que dans la compréhension de la « subalternité » chicana. À cet égard, on tente quelques incursions et commentaires dans les dernières publications bilingues de l’auteur: Primera causa. First cause (1999), So spoke Penelope /Así habló Penélope (2013).
Casselman’s Basis of Iwahori Vectors and Kazhdan–Lusztig Polynomials
Authors: Bump Daniel , Nakasuji Maki 
Published: April 2018

AbstractA problem in representation theory of $p$-adic groups is the computation of the Casselman basis of Iwahori fixed vectors in the spherical principal series representations, which are dual to the intertwining integrals. We shall express the transition matrix $(m_{u,v})$ of the Casselman basis to another natural basis in terms of certain polynomials that are deformations of the Kazhdan–Lusztig R-polynomials. As an application we will obtain certain new functional equations for these transition matrices under the algebraic involution sending the residue cardinality $q$ to $q^{-1}$. We will also obtain a new proof of a surprising result of Nakasuji and Naruse that relates the matrix $(m_{u,v})$ to its inverse.
Information content in reflected signals during GPS Radio Occultation observations
Authors: Aparicio Josep M. , Cardellach Estel , Rodríguez Hilda 
Published: April 2018

Abstract. The possibility of extracting useful information about the state of the lower troposphere from the surface reflections
that are often detected during GPS radio occultations (GPSRO) is explored. The clarity of the reflection is
quantified, and can be related to properties of the surface and the low troposphere. The reflected signal is often clear
enough to show good phase coherence, and can be tracked and processed as an extension of direct non-reflected GPSRO
atmospheric profiles. A profile of bending angle vs. impact parameter can be obtained for these reflected signals,
characterized by impact parameters that are below the apparent horizon, and that is a continuation at low altitude of the
standard non-reflected bending angle profile. If there were no reflection, these would correspond to tangent altitudes
below the local surface, and in particular below the local mean sea level. A forward operator is presented, for the
evaluation of the bending angle of reflected GPSRO signals, given atmospheric properties as described by a numerical
weather prediction system. The operator is an extension, at lower impact parameters, of standard bending angle operators,
and reproduces both the direct and reflected sections of the measured profile. It can be applied to the assimilation of
the reflected section of the profile as supplementary data to the direct section. Although the principle is also applicable
over land, this paper is focused on ocean cases, where the topographic height of the reflecting surface, the sea
level, is better known a priori.
Quantifying the relationship between the plasmapause and the inner boundary of small-scale field-aligned currents, as deduced from Swarm observations
Authors: Heilig Balázs , Lühr Hermann 
Published: April 2018

Abstract. This paper presents a statistical study of the equatorward boundary of
small-scale field-aligned currents (SSFACs) and investigates the relation
between this boundary and the plasmapause (PP). The PP data used for
validation were derived from in situ electron density observations of NASA's
Van Allen Probes. We confirmed the
findings of a previous study by the same authors obtained from the
observations of the CHAMP satellite SSFAC and the NASA IMAGE satellite PP
detections, namely that the two boundaries respond similarly to changes in
geomagnetic activity, and they are closely located in the near midnight MLT
sector, suggesting a dynamic linkage. Dayside PP correlates with the delayed
time history of the SSFAC boundary. We interpreted this behaviour as a direct
consequence of co-rotation: the new PP, formed on the night side, propagates
to the dayside by rotating with Earth. This finding paves the way toward an
efficient PP monitoring tool based on an SSFAC index derived from vector
magnetic field observations at low-Earth orbit. Keywords. Magnetospheric physics (plasmasphere)
Combination of UAV and terrestrial photogrammetry to assess rapid glacier evolution and map glacier hazards
Authors: Fugazza Davide , Scaioni Marco , Corti Manuel , D'Agata Carlo , Azzoni Roberto Sergio , Cernuschi Massimo , Smiraglia Claudio , Diolaiuti Guglielmina Adele 
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Tourists and hikers visiting glaciers all year round face hazards such as
sudden terminus collapses, typical of such a dynamically evolving
environment. In this study, we analyzed the potential of different survey
techniques to analyze hazards of the Forni Glacier, an important geosite
located in Stelvio Park (Italian Alps). We carried out surveys in the
2016 ablation season and compared point clouds generated from an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) survey, close-range photogrammetry and terrestrial laser
scanning (TLS). To investigate the evolution of glacier hazards and evaluate
the glacier thinning rate, we also used UAV data collected in 2014 and a
digital elevation model (DEM) created from an aerial photogrammetric survey
of 2007. We found that the integration between terrestrial and UAV
photogrammetry is ideal for mapping hazards related to the glacier collapse,
while TLS is affected by occlusions and is logistically complex in glacial
terrain. Photogrammetric techniques can therefore replace TLS for glacier
studies and UAV-based DEMs hold potential for becoming a standard tool in
the investigation of glacier thickness changes. Based on our data sets, an
increase in the size of collapses was found over the study period, and the
glacier thinning rates went from 4.55 ± 0.24 m a−1 between 2007
and 2014 to 5.20 ± 1.11 m a−1 between 2014 and 2016.
An historical overview of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, 1985–2015
Authors: Speaker Susan L. 
Published: April 2018

The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM), established as the Regional Medical Library Program in 1965, has a rich and remarkable history. The network’s first twenty years were documented in a detailed 1987 history by Alison Bunting, AHIP, FMLA. This article traces the major trends in the network’s development since then: reconceiving the Regional Medical Library staff as a “field force” for developing, marketing, and distributing a growing number of National Library of Medicine (NLM) products and services; subsequent expansion of outreach to health professionals who are unaffiliated with academic medical centers, particularly those in public health; the advent of the Internet during the 1990s, which brought the migration of NLM and NNLM resources and services to the World Wide Web, and a mandate to encourage and facilitate Internet connectivity in the network; and the further expansion of the NLM and NNLM mission to include providing consumer health resources to satisfy growing public demand. The concluding section discusses the many challenges that NNLM staff faced as they transformed the network from a system that served mainly academic medical researchers to a larger, denser organization that offers health information resources to everyone. This article has been approved for the Medical Library Association’s Independent Reading Program.
Efeitos de uma intervenção analítico-comportamental e do treino de relaxamento em mulheres com Fibromialgia e má qualidade do sono: Um estudo piloto
Authors: Kirchner Luziane Fátima , Reis Maria de Jesus Dutra 
Published: April 2018

Este estudo avaliou o efeito de uma intervenção analítico-comportamental para dor, sono e treino de relaxamento (GT, n=6), comparado a grupos submetido ao treino de relaxamento isolado (GR, n=3) e grupo controle sem intervenção (GC, n=3). As participantes foram mulheres (idade média 53,5 anos) com diagnóstico médico de Fibromialgia (FM) e queixa de má qualidade do sono. Instrumentos de autorrelato para avaliação da experiência global de dor, incapacidade relacionada à dor, qualidade do sono, ansiedade, depressão, e estresse, juntamente com a avaliação do cortisol ao despertar (Cortisol Awakening Response - CAR), foram aplicados antes e após oito sessões, e na avaliação de Follow-Up (30 dias). As participantes responderam a um questionário de satisfação ao final da intervenção. Os dados mostraram que o GT obteve mudança positiva (pre<pós) nos indicadores de incapacidade relacionada à dor e ansiedade, e o GR na avaliação da experiência global de dor, com manutenção dos efeitos apenas no GT. O GR apresentou mudanças negativas (pré>pós) na resposta do cortisol e de autorrelato do estresse e o GC na incapacidade relacionada à dor. Ao final do estudo, as participantes dos grupos GT e GR relataram estarem satisfeitas quanto ao atendimento recebido e perceberam melhora sobre os indicadores de saúde avaliados. Os resultados foram discutidos em termos de implicações para pesquisas futuras.
Studies on Antimicrobial Activity and Kinetics of Inhibition by Plant Products in India (1990–2016)
Authors: Sharma Ramesh Kumar , Rana Bhupendra Kumar 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of herbal extracts or plant isolates has usually been evaluated in India using different antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods generally based on diffusion and dilution. There are different analytical approaches for the reliable evaluation of antimicrobial activity ascribed to medicinal plants against selected pathogenic microorganisms. Obtained results may provide scientific bases for the selective use of these natural plants as healing drugs, crop-protecting pesticides, or shelf-life-extending solutions. In general, antimicrobial susceptibility methodologies involve in vivo and in vitro studies; at present, the in vitro evaluation of antibacterial activity appears more popular. Diffusion methods have some limitations, although they are extensively used to determine the susceptibility of organisms isolated from specimen samples to applied antimicrobials and vice versa. Dilution methods are preferred in the case of more precise antimicrobial activity estimation, in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration. With regard to the inherent antimicrobial nature of herbal compositions, herbs, and herbal extracts, Indian researchers have evaluated the reliability of these antimicrobial agents against selected pathogens and have shown them to be effective. Researchers have also tried to establish linear regression correlation analyses on the basis of available inhibition results. This research is still evolving, and interesting results may be expected in the future.
Direct Comparison of Cavity Ring Down Spectrometry and Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry for Detection of Sugar Adulteration in Honey Samples
Authors: Mantha Madhavi , Urban John R , Mark William A , Chernyshev Anatoly , Kubachka Kevin M 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
In the last several years, economically motivated adulteration (EMA) of foods including honey has received increased attention. The addition of inexpensive sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup or cane sugar to honey is still encountered despite scientific methods that can routinely detect this type of adulteration. The standard method for detection of these adulterants utilizes isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS); however, this technique requires an elevated degree of technical knowledge for operation as well as a high cost for purchase and maintenance. Cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) has demonstrated potential for this type of analysis and is less expensive with simpler operation. This study evaluates CRDS for the detection of low-cost sweeteners added to honey and compares the performance of CRDS to IRMS. Several honey samples were analyzed, and the advantages and limitations specific to CRDS were evaluated. Overall, the results indicate that CRDS provides a performance comparable to the benchmark technique IRMS for EMA honey analysis.
New wombats from Riversleigh, northwestern Queensland, include pouch young
Authors: Brewer Philippa 
Published: April 2018

Despite an estimated molecular divergence date of 40 million years (middle Eocene) between wombats and their closest living relative, the koala, the fossil record of wombats is poor. The two oldest described wombats, Nimbavombatus boodjamullensis and Rhizophascolonus crowcrofti, are both early Miocene in age. The former is known from maxillae, upper cheek teeth and isolated lower molars from Riversleigh in northwestern Queensland. The latter is known only from the isolated teeth from central Australia. Here we describe additional specimens of Rhizophascolonus from Riversleigh that are late Oligocene to middle Miocene in age as well as at least one additional species. Excitingly, the new specimens show an ontogenetic range from pouch young with occlusal cusp details intact to fully adult specimens with heavily worn teeth.
The unworn teeth from Riversleigh are compared with those pouch young from two extant wombat taxa and the extant koala. In addition, comparisons of quantitative and qualitative characters of all known Rhizophascolonus specimens with other koala and wombat taxa reveal a large degree of variation in the sample of Rhizophascolonus teeth from Riversleigh. However, the number of species of Rhizophascolonus present is difficult to ascertain and it is not inconceivable that there is only one or two highly variable species present.
Despite uncertainty at the species level, these new specimens provide an unprecedented insight into this enigmatic group, and we can now start to reconstruct intrafamilial relationships with a greater degree of confidence. Furthermore, occlusal morphology can now be used to help clarify interfamilial relationships in the suborder Vombatiformes, which in addition to wombats and koalas, includes five additional extinct families.
An Integrated Apatite Geochronology and Geochemistry Tool for Sedimentary Provenance Analysis
Authors: O'Sullivan G. J. , Chew D. M. , Morton A. C. , Mark C. , Henrichs I. A. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractSediment provenance studies utilizing detrital geochronology are often limited by source‐rock non‐uniqueness with respect to mineral age. Thus, the development of integrated techniques which permit identification of source rock age and lithology are highly desirable. In this case study from the southern Massif Central, France, we target modern‐river sediment from the river Tarn to assess the utility of combined U‐Pb and multiple trace‐element geochemical analysis of detrital apatite as a provenance tool. The study area was chosen because the sediment source areas chiefly comprise a relatively simple mix of medium‐ to low‐grade Variscan metasediments and late Variscan granitoids, which should yield detrital apatite readily distinguishable by age, trace‐element chemistry, or both. Based on comparison with previously published apatite trace‐element data from metasedimentary rocks and granitoids, pelitic apatite in the river Tarn detritus is primarily distinguished by high Sr/Mn, light rare‐earth element depletion (LREE) and low actinide contents, whereas granitic apatite is characterized by much lower Sr/Mn, and high LREE and actinide abundances. These source rock determinations are highly consistent with apatite trace‐element data from Tarn tributaries that drain either predominantly metapelitic or granitoid catchments. U‐Pb analysis of detrital rutile was also undertaken on those catchments for comparative purposes. As pelitic and granitic apatite can be readily distinguished, samples that have experienced downstream sediment mixing can then be comprehensively characterized. Using this method we identify a source lithology for nearly every analyzed apatite grain in the river sediment, even though 59% of the analyzed grains do not yield reliable U‐Pb ages.
