Scleral Transillumination With Digital Heads-Up Display: A Novel Technique for Visualization During Vitrectomy Surgery
Authors: Todorich Bozho , Stem Maxwell S. , Hassan Tarek S. , Williams George A. , Faia Lisa J. 
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To describe a novel technique of scleral indentation and transillumination for single-surgeon, unassisted vitrectomy and vitreous base shaving enhanced with a digital heads-up display system (NGENUITY 3D Visualization System; Alcon, Fort Worth, TX).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This technique was utilized in six eyes of six patients during vitrectomy surgery for common vitreoretinal surgical diagnoses. In each case, the transillumination was performed with the traditional intraocular light pipe set at 100% power, placed obliquely just posterior to the vitreous base insertion, with or without a transillumination adapter. The visualization of the vitreous cavity was digitally enhanced using a heads-up display system (NGENUITY 3D) with light amplification settings increased to near-maximal gain. In each case, the adequacy of the surgical view was judged intraoperatively by two independent surgeons who shared the same surgical view as the primary surgeon.

RESULTS:
In this series, the surgical view provided by the scleral transillumination was deemed adequate to safely perform surgery in five of six cases. In the one patient in whom this was not the case, vitrectomy was completed using traditional endo-illumination and scleral depression performed by a skilled assistant. Lighter fundus pigmentation, myopia, thin sclera, and absence of dense peripheral media opacities were associated with improved view with scleral transillumination. There were no intraoperative complications.

CONCLUSION:
Digitally enhanced scleral transillumination affords surgeons another option for safe and effective simultaneous scleral depression and illumination for unassisted peripheral vitrectomy.

La réception de l’Antiquité dans l’œuvre de la femme de lettres grecque Rhéa Galanaki
Authors: Marcou Loïc 
Published: June 2018

L’Antiquité est présente à de multiples niveaux dans la production romanesque de la femme de lettres grecque Rhéa Galanaki (1947-). Objet privilégié de la quête archéologique, notamment dans Le Siècle des labyrinthes (2002), où l’auteure évoque la concurrence acharnée à laquelle se sont livrées, à la fin du xixe siècle, les écoles d’archéologie étrangères pour mettre au jour les vestiges de la Crète minoenne, elle alimente aussi et surtout deux motifs littéraires : le labyrinthe et le nostos. Enfin, elle fait l’objet d’une réflexion constante, par la multiplication des références à l’hypotexte antique – principalement l’Odyssée – ou la réinterprétation de grandes figures mythiques (Œdipe, Tirésias, le Minotaure, Europe, Ariane). Centrée sur l’histoire de son pays à l’époque moderne, la production romanesque de Rhéa Galanaki entend ainsi souligner la continuité de la culture grecque, de l’Antiquité à nos jours.
Restituer les décors perdus de la maison de Neptune et Amphitrite : enquête, méthodes, résultats
Authors: Eristov Hélène , Maraval Marie-Laure 
Published: June 2018

Dans le cadre du projet VESUVIA, l’étude des décors de la casa di Nettuno ed Anfitrite a été entreprise. Il s’agit en particulier de proposer des restitutions graphiques de décors lacunaires ou effacés. Les méthodes de restitution mises en œuvre sont illustrées par deux cas de figures très différents : d’une part une petite pièce privée, semble-t-il, de toute documentation d’archives antérieure aux années 1970, mais au décor archéologiquement complet et auquel s’ajoutent deux prélèvements de l’époque des Bourbons ; d’autre part le vaste atrium quasi-totalement dépouillé de ses décors, sans prélèvement repérable, mais où nous disposons de deux séries de fragments-clés et d’une photo d’archives qui a permis une série de déductions.
Le coracin (κορακῖνος) du lac de Tibériade (F. Josèphe, B.J. III, 520). Une « veine » du Nil en Palestine
Authors: Raïos Constantin 
Published: June 2018

Dans sa description géographique des environs du lac de Tibériade (B.J. III, 506-521), Flavius Josèphe mentionne une πηγή (« source ») qui engendre un poisson comparable au κορακῖνος (« coracin ») du lac d’Alexandrie. Nous nous proposons d’examiner si les traducteurs et les commentateurs modernes de l’historien juif ont raison d’identifier, depuis le XIXe siècle, ce poisson avec un poisson-chat ou une anguille, malgré la tendance générale d’associer le coracin égyptien à la famille des Cichlidés. Ensuite, nous essayerons de circonscrire les origines de la tradition utilisée par Josèphe et d’apporter un premier éclairage aux raisons pour lesquelles certains auteurs anciens liaient le Nil à diverses étendues d’eaux.
« Raccogliere, e metter insieme » : la compilation comme support d’une histoire globale. Les Navigationi et viaggi de G. B. Ramusio, Venise, 1550-59
Authors: Lejosne Fiona 
Published: June 2018

La compilation des Navigationi et viaggi est systématiquement citée dans les ouvrages traitant de l’émergence de l’histoire globale, du fait de l’échelle adoptée ou de la variété des sources utilisées par Ramusio pour mettre à jour l’image du monde au milieu du XVIe siècle. Cet article fait l’hypothèse que l’élément central de l’histoire globale telle que l’élabore Ramusio est le dispositif de la compilation qui permet de regrouper un ensemble de sources et de les faire entrer en résonance. Mais les Navigationi et viaggi mettent aussi en évidence les limites de l’histoire globale en pointant le caractère fondamentalement local de la production d’un savoir sur le monde.

Manila era una ciudad española fronteriza donde se entrecruzaban mercancías de procedencias diversas, y donde el gobernador tenía que mostrar su valía como político y militar constantemente.El estudio revela la biografía de Alonso Fajardo, sus actividades como gobernador, su interés en el comercio con Japón y con China y su constante tensión mantenida contra los holandeses que expandían su fuerza en Asia oriental.A través du su inventario, se revela la circulación de los objetos artísticos como las lacas y biombos de Japón, textiles chinos, piedras preciosas del sureste asiático y objetos de marfil filipinos como mercancía de lujo en Manila.
The Incandescent
Authors: Serres Michel 
Published: June 2018

The first translation of the volumes in Michel Serres’ classic 'Humanism' tetralogy, this ambitious philosophical narrative explores what it means to be human. With his characteristic breadth of references including art, poetry, science, philosophy and literature, Serres paints a new picture of what it might mean to live meaningfully in contemporary society. He tells the story of humankind (from the beginning of time to the present moment) in an attempt to affirm his overriding thesis that humans and nature have always been part of the same ongoing and unfolding history.
This crucial piece of posthumanist philosophical writing has never before been released in English. A masterful translation by Randolph Burks ensures the poetry and wisdom of Serres writing is preserved and his notion of what humanity is and might be is opened up to new audiences.

Abstract. The present work reports seasonal characteristics of small- and medium-scale
gravity waves in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region. All-sky
images of the hydroxyl (NIR-OH) airglow emission layer over São João do
Cariri (7.4∘ S, 36.5∘ W; hereafter Cariri) were obtained
from September 2000 to December 2010, during a total of 1496 nights. For
investigation of the characteristics of small-scale gravity waves (SSGWs) and
medium-scale gravity waves (MSGWs), we employed the Fourier two-dimensional
(2-D) spectrum and keogram fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques,
respectively. From the 11 years of data, we could observe 2343 SSGW and 537
MSGW events. The horizontal wavelengths of the SSGWs were concentrated
between 10 and 35 km, while those of the MSGWs ranged from 50 to 200 km. The
observed periods for SSGWs were concentrated around 5 to 20 min, whereas the
MSGWs ranged from 20 to 60 min. The observed horizontal phase speeds of SSGWs
were distributed around 10 to 60 m s−1, and the corresponding
MSGWs were around 20 to 120 m s−1. In summer, autumn, and winter
both SSGWs and MSGWs propagated preferentially northeastward and
southeastward, while in spring the waves propagated in all directions. The
critical level theory of atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) was applied to
study the effects of wind filtering on SSGW and MSGW propagation
directions. The SSGWs were more susceptible to wind filtering effects than
MSGWs. The average of daily mean outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) was also
used to investigate the possible wave source region in the troposphere. The
results showed that in summer and autumn, deep convective regions were the
possible source mechanism of the AGWs. However, in spring and winter the deep
convective regions did not play an important role in the waves observed at
Cariri, because they were too far away from the observatory. Therefore, we
concluded that the horizontal propagation directions of SSGWs and MSGWs show
clear seasonal variations based on the influence of the wind filtering
process and wave source location. Keywords. Atmospheric composition and structure (airglow and aurora) – electromagnetics (wave propagation) – history of geophysics (atmospheric sciences)
New high-frequency (7–12 kHz) quasi-periodic VLF emissions observed on the ground at L  ∼  5.5
Authors: Manninen Jyrki , Kleimenova Natalia , Turunen Tauno , Gromova Liudmila 
Published: June 2018

Abstract. We reveal previously unknown quasi-periodic (QP) very low frequency (VLF) emissions at the unusually
high-frequency band of ∼ 7–12 kHz by applying the digital filtering
of strong atmospherics to the ground-based VLF data recorded at Kannuslehto
station (KAN). It is located in northern Finland at L ∼ 5.5. The
frequencies of QP emissions are much higher than the equatorial electron
gyrofrequency at L ∼ 5.5. Thus, these emissions must have been
generated at much lower L shells than KAN. Two high-frequency QP emission
events have been studied in detail. The emissions were right-hand polarized
waves indicating an overhead location of the exit area of waves in the
ionosphere. In one event, the spectral–temporal forms of the emissions
looked like a series of giant “bullets” due to the very abrupt cessation.
Unfortunately, we could not explain such a strange dynamic spectral shape of
the waves. In the second event, the modulation period was about 3 min under
the absence of simultaneous geomagnetic pulsations. The studied emissions
lasted about 4 h and were observed under the very quiet geomagnetic
activity. The adequate mechanisms of the generation and propagation of the
revealed high-frequency QP emissions have not yet been established. We
speculate that studied QP emissions can be attributed to the
auto-oscillations of the cyclotron instability in the magnetospheric plasma
maser.
The Holy Spirit and the Son’s Glorification
Authors: Sánchez M. Leopoldo A. 
Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT
In John 7:37–39, Jesus promises “rivers of living water” to those who believe in him. John explains that such reference is to “the Spirit,” which “had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (RSV). The text has puzzled interpreters through the centuries. First, who does the “rivers of living water” (v. 38) flow from—Jesus or the believer? Second, was not the Spirit around before the Son’s glorification, which for John begins with his being lifted up on the cross? If so, then in what sense is the Spirit yet to be given (v. 39)? We will argue that a Spirit Christology, which speaks of Jesus as the receiver, bearer, and giver of God’s Spirit, is a most promising theological framework to make sense of Jesus’ words in John 7, unlock the pneumatic dynamic and trajectory of the Gospel as a whole, and more broadly, to ask important theological questions of the text in dialogue with interpreters past and present.
Thomas Aquinas on the Parable of the Late-Come Workers (Matthew 20:1–16)
Authors: Caponi Francis J. 
Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT
Historical-critical exegesis of the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matt 20:1–16) has yielded multiple, often mutually exclusive interpretations. This variety and conflict generally can be traced to more-or-less evident “optics” that inform the exegete’s hermeneutical perspective, for example, existentialist, psychological, socioeconomic, and theological. Among the last, sola fide has been especially prominent in guiding readings of the parable in terms of grace and merit. But does this optic do justice to the parable, and is it theologically coherent? In this article, I pursue these questions by considering Thomas Aquinas’s discussion of the parable, in conjunction with his reflections on merit and grace. Materially, I hope to show the utility of Thomas’s thought for illuminating the relationship between God’s grace and human merit in salvation history. As he interprets it, the Late-come Workers is not about the conflict between unearned grace and merited reward. Instead, it is evidence of how justice and mercy, present in all of God’s acts, are visible in the work of salvation. Formally, I want to draw out some of the abiding value of Thomas’s method of exegesis, which commends itself, in part, because it combines speculative skill with a thorough knowledge of Scripture, allowing St. Thomas to address the richness of the text more fully and coherently than a number of contemporary accounts. Yet, Thomas’s method need not be viewed as locked into a zero-sum game with these approaches; rather, his exegesis is expansive enough to integrate a great deal of historical-critical findings.
Les sûretés et les biens immatériels en droit français : quelles sont les perspectives ?
Authors: Albiges Christophe 
Published: June 2018

Toute étude ou toute analyse des sûretés portant sur les divers biens immatériels — créances, brevets, marques, logiciels, par exemple — peut se révéler pour le moins délicate. La matière demeure caractérisée par une diversité de régimes applicables, qu’ils concernent les modalités de constitution ou de réalisation des sûretés susceptibles d’être mises en oeuvre. Différentes perspectives sont dès lors envisageables, qu’il s’agisse du regroupement en une seule et unique sûreté, d’une harmonisation de ces régimes ou encore de l’élaboration d’un régime primaire, complété par des règles spéciales.
La pensée constitutionnelle et fédérale de Jean-Charles Bonenfant : la franchise au service du Québec
Authors: Leclair Jean 
Published: June 2018

L’auteur vise à sortir de l’oubli la pensée constitutionnelle et fédérale de Jean-Charles Bonenfant, grande figure du droit public québécois durant la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Sa pensée était caractérisée par un pragmatisme ou réalisme politique le portant à rejeter les approches trop tranchées qui négligent la complexité du réel, à préférer le fédéralisme renouvelé à des avenues plus radicales, à dénoncer le « juridisme » qui accorde trop de pouvoir aux juges, à insister sur la légitimité des institutions — et non simplement sur leur légalité — et, enfin, à fonder ses espoirs de renouveau de l’ordre constitutionnel fédéral canadien sur la réforme des institutions politiques représentatives. L’auteur termine son analyse par un examen de l’article de Bonenfant paru en 1963 et intitulé « L’esprit de 1867 », très certainement l’un de ses textes les plus importants.
A Protective Effect of Sivelestat From Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in a Porcine Hepatectomy Model
Authors: Shimoda Mitsugi , Iwasaki Yoshimi , Suzuki Shuji 
Published: June 2018

Summary of background data:
Sivelestat sodium hydrate (Sive), a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, has been approved as a worldwide therapeutic drug for acute lung injury associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Yet how Sive influences hepatic ischemic reperfusion (I/R) injury and liver regeneration has not been clarified.

Objective:
We investigated the effect of Sive against hepatic I/R injury and liver regeneration using porcine hepatectomy model, and found that Sive contributes significantly in increasing the liver volume.

Methods:
We induced 1-hour ischemia by occluding the vessels and the bile duct of the right and median lobes. About 40% left hepatectomy was performed after reperfusion. A total of 6 animals received Sive (10 mg/kg/h) intravenously and 6 control animals received physiologic saline (10 mg/kg/h) from commencement of laparotomy. Remnant liver volume, hemodynamics, and liver function test were compared between the groups. Expressions of TRL4 mRNA in hepatic tissues were examined using RT-PCR. Apoptosis and cell proliferation were demonstrated by TUNEL staining.

Results:
AST, LDH, and LA levels at 5 minutes after reperfusion were significantly lower in Sive group than in the control group. Sive significantly increased the liver volume, yet did not have any effect for liver regeneration.

Conclusion:
Sive is considered to reduce hepatic injury in the early phase of I/R injury.
Development of a window opening algorithm based on adaptive thermal comfort to predict occupant behavior in Japanese dwellings
Authors: Rijal Hom B. , Humphreys Michael A. , Nicol J. Fergus 
Published: June 2018

AbstractWindow opening behavior and thermal comfort were monitored in relation to the thermal environment over a 4 year period in the living rooms and the bedrooms of dwellings in the Kanto region of Japan. 36 144 sets of physical and subjective data were collected from 243 residents of 120 dwellings. This paper explores relationships between the different variables in the data. The likelihood of windows being open depended on the three modes of operation of the dwelling, free running (FR), heating (HT) or cooling (CL). In the FR mode, the likelihood was much higher than in either the CL or the HT modes. The likelihood that a window is open correlated well with both indoor temperature and outdoor air temperature in the FR Mode. The indoor comfort temperature correlated well with the running mean of the outdoor temperature. Window opening behavior as predicted by logistic regression analysis is in agreement with the measured data. The deadband of window opening was narrower, and the constraint on window opening was smaller than had previously been found in studies in office buildings. Equations are given to quantify these relations and to enable window opening and comfort temperature to be predicted from outdoor temperature.
Rationally Induced Interfacial Dipole in Planar Heterojunction Perovskite Solar Cells for Reduced J–V Hysteresis

AbstractWith the rapid progress in developing hybrid perovskite solar cells, the allure of current density–voltage (  J–V) hysteresis has attracted quite a lot of interest in the research community. It requires feasible approaches that further deepen the fundamental understanding of device physics in specific device architecture in order to solve this problem eventually. Here, perovskite solar cells configured with different counter electrodes are systematically investigated with the focus on charge accumulation within the devices responsible for J–V hysteresis. The results indicate that J–V hysteresis is affected by charge accumulation which can be modulated by carrier extraction efficiency of the electrodes. Through a rationally induced interfacial dipole, the devices have shown improvement in carrier extraction, which thus reduces J–V hysteresis significantly. It provides solid evidence for the proposition that interface charge plays an important role in J–V hysteresis, and demonstrates an applicable strategy that effectively alleviates J–V hysteresis in perovskite solar cells.
An overview and impact assessment of OSHA large dairy local emphasis programs in New York and Wisconsin

Published: June 2018

BackgroundFarming has been exempted from most labor regulations and shielded from regulatory scrutiny by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Yet, agriculture and dairy in particular, has relatively high injury and fatality rates.MethodsA recent shift in OSHA's approach to agricultural worker safety and health includes two dairy‐focused Local Emphasis Programs (LEPs), one launched in Wisconsin in 2011 and the other in New York in 2014. We examine data from LEP‐related, OSHA consultations and inspections as well as non‐governmental audit programs, and review farmer perceptions about the LEP.ResultsInspections conducted by OSHA and private consultation programs highlight the presence and variety of hazards on dairy farms in Wisconsin and New York.ConclusionThe LEPs helped raise dairy producers’ awareness of inherent hazards and methods to correct them. Farmers cited the LEP as beneficial, identifying it as a catalyst to reduce hazards on their farms.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACTThe influence of epoxy resin modification by 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on various properties of warp knitted viscose fabric is reported in this study. Dynamic mechanical, impact resistance, flexural, thermal properties, and burning behavior of the epoxy/viscose fabric composites are studied with respect to varying content of silane coupling agent. The results obtained for APTES‐modified epoxy resin based composites reinforced with unmodified viscose fabric composites are compared to unmodified epoxy resin based composites reinforced with APTES‐modified viscose fabric. The dynamic mechanical behavior of the APTES‐modified resin based composites indicates improved interfacial adhesion. The composites prepared from modified epoxy resin exhibited a twofold increase in impact resistance. The improved adhesion between the fiber and modified resin was also visible from the scanning electron microscope analysis of the impact fracture surface. There was less influence of resin modification on the flexural properties of the composites. The 5% APTES modification induced early degradation of composites compared to all other composites. The burning rate of all the composites under study is rated to be satisfactory for use in automotive interior applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 46673.
