Maîtriser l’eau et gagner des terres au xvie siècle
Authors: Morera Raphaël 
Published: February 2018

Andries Vierlingh (1522-1579) a notamment servi le comte d’Orange en tant que maître des digues. Au soir de sa vie, Vierlingh entreprit de coucher par écrit son expérience. Écrit au cours des années 1570, resté inachevé et non publié en raison de la mort de son auteur, le Tractaet van Dyckagie aborde les étapes successives de la construction d’un polder. Présentant les différentes techniques employées à d’éventuels investisseurs, l’ouvrage fait ainsi apparaître un grand pragmatisme technique et s’apparente à une réduction en art.
Mesurer le temps en mer : instruments, voyages et échelles des mondes ibériques au xvie siècle
Authors: Carrió Cataldi Leonardo Ariel 
Published: February 2018

À la croisée de l’histoire moderne des empires ibériques et de l’anthropologie des savoirs et des techniques, l’article propose une lecture sociale de l’emploi de différents instruments de mesure utilisés par D. João de Castro (1500-1548) lors de son voyage maritime de Lisbonne à Goa (1538) à bord du Grifo. Du bateau comme espace social au bateau comme « lieu de savoir », l’attention est portée sur l’utilisation d’un nouvel instrument, l’instrument des ombres, et sur la mesure du temps en mer.
Marcellin Jobard et le Musée royal de l’Industrie de Bruxelles
Authors: Claes Marie-Christine 
Published: February 2018

En 1826, est créé à Bruxelles un « Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers ». Le premier directeur, Jacob Canzius-Onderdewijngaart, constructeur d’instruments scientifiques à Delft, y intègre sa propre collection. À partir de 1841, Marcellin Jobard, directeur de journaux, ancien lithographe et premier photographe belge, dirige le désormais « Musée royal de l’industrie » et publie son Bulletin, qui touche un large public belge et étranger. Hélas ! après sa mort en 1861, on vend une partie des collections et le reste est annexé à une école industrielle. La plupart des objets ont aujourd’hui disparu. Heureusement, l’astronome Adolphe Quetelet, membre de la commission administrative du musée, avait fait déposer en 1841 à l’Observatoire royal de Belgique à Uccle (Bruxelles) une dizaine des plus beaux instruments, aujourd’hui présentés par les Musées royaux d’art et d’histoire de Bruxelles. Reste aussi un catalogue de trois mille pièces, dressé par Édouard Mailly en 1846, qui permettra peut-être de reconstituer virtuellement l’un des plus beaux musées techniques d’Europe au xixe siècle.
Le discours sur la technologie aux États-Unis dans l’entre-deux-guerres (rencontre, mobilité, diffusion et construction)
Authors: Dray Vincent 
Published: February 2018

L’article a pour objet l’analyse d’archives historiques relevant des positionnements conceptuels étatsuniens sur la technologie. L’émergence d’un concept en mouvement semble être la caractéristique du discours américain sur la technologie et restitué par les professeurs des instituts techniques. Afin de mettre en lumière la production des discours, la démarche ne peut laisser en marge les attentes d’une approche comparatiste mettant à l’étude quelques exemples européens dont l’influence est importante.

El sector de la comunicación ha experimentado notables cambios derivados del fenómeno de la digitalización y el auge de las nuevas tecnologías. Debido a ello, urge la necesidad de repensar si los estudios universitarios están adaptados a estos cambios sobre medios digitales. Metodología. Se busca valorar por medio de una encuesta dirigidas a profesionales, docentes y estudiantes del área de la comunicación y entrevistas a profesionales del sector si las competencias académicas de los Grados de Comunicación y los perfiles profesionales actuales están adaptados a las necesidades de la Comunicación Digital Interactiva. Resultados y discusión. Las competencias más valoradas están relacionadas con la adaptación a los cambios, el aprendizaje autónomo y la especialización digital, lo que lleva a pensar que el sector de la comunicación está cambiando, pero el sistema de educación universitaria no ha sabido adaptarse de momento.
Using the New Postacute Care Quality Measures to Demonstrate the Value of Occupational Therapy
Authors: Sandhu Sharmila , Furniss Jeremy , Metzler Christina 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
As the health care system continues to evolve toward one based on quality not quantity, demonstrating the value of occupational therapy has never been more important. Providing high-quality services, achieving optimal outcomes, and identifying and promoting occupational therapy’s distinct value are the responsibilities of all practitioners. In relation to the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT) Act of 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is implementing new functional items and related outcome performance measures across postacute care (PAC) settings. Practitioners can demonstrate the role and value of occupational therapy services through their participation in data collection and the interpretation of the resulting performance measures. In this column, we review the objectives of the IMPACT Act, introduce the new self-care and mobility items and outcome performance measures being implemented in PAC settings, and describe ways to use these new data to advocate for occupational therapy. We also discuss American Occupational Therapy Association initiatives to provide materials and guidance for occupational therapy practitioners to contribute to PAC data collection.
The effect of alternative seismotectonic models on PSHA results – a sensitivity study for two sites in Israel
Authors: Avital Matan , Kamai Ronnie , Davis Michael , Dor Ory 
Published: February 2018

Abstract. We present a full probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) sensitivity analysis for two sites in southern Israel – one in the near field of a major fault system and one farther away. The PSHA analysis is conducted for alternative source representations, using alternative model parameters for the main seismic sources, such as slip rate and Mmax, among others. The analysis also considers the effect of the ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) on the hazard results. In this way, the two types of epistemic uncertainty – modelling uncertainty and parametric uncertainty – are treated and addressed. We quantify the uncertainty propagation by testing its influence on the final calculated hazard, such that the controlling knowledge gaps are identified and can be treated in future studies. We find that current practice in Israel, as represented by the current version of the building code, grossly underestimates the hazard, by approximately 40 % in short return periods (e.g. 10 % in 50 years) and by as much as 150 % in long return periods (e.g. 10E−5). The analysis shows that this underestimation is most probably due to a combination of factors, including source definitions as well as the GMPE used for analysis.
There Is No (W)hole: Using Wordless Auto-Ethnographic Allegory as Arts-Based Research to Problematize Psychoanalytic Theory and Buddhist Philosophy
Authors: Horwat Jeff 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
This article introduces the first chapter of an arts-based research project entitled “There Is No (W)hole, “a surreal wordless autoethnographic allegory about the author’s struggles with anxiety. Through the telling of the narrative, the author draws from psychoanalysis and Buddhist philosophy, specifically problematizing Lacan’s conceptualization of desire by placing it in conversation with Buddhist concepts of suffering, attachment, and emptiness. This dialogue explores how to find fulfillment amid one’s ever-present pursuit of the unattainable, the objet a. Through the development of the allegory, the author employs wordless storytelling as an arts-based research method to theorize how Lacanian and Buddhist concepts can help a person understand experienced psychic distress. By synthesizing, distilling, and translating theories and personal experiences into a visual language of symbols and metaphors, he crafts a suggestive narrative that can be interpreted by a diverse populace.
Le rôle de l’entourage et de l’école chez l’adolescent endeuillé d’un parent
Authors: Fawer Caputo Christine 
Published: February 2018

Le deuil à l’adolescence relève d’une problématique complexe à cause des similitudes entre le « travail de deuil » et le « travail d’adolescence ». De plus, la rupture brutale d’un lien d’attachement signifiant peut induire diverses séquelles, impacter la suite de la scolarité et engendrer des difficultés relationnelles. Cet article présente le rôle de l’entourage ainsi que celui de l’école et des enseignants, dans le processus de deuil que vivent les adolescents ayant subi une perte parentale. Notre texte vise à clarifier de quelle manière chaque personne (ou groupe de personnes), proche ou significative, interagit avec l’adolescent en deuil et pour quels effets perçus.
Duchamp según Jean Clair vs Arthur Danto, a 100 años de la Fuente
Authors: Carriquiry Andrea 
Published: February 2018

Este trabajo se centra en la discusión que la figura de Marcel Duchamp -cuya famosa Fuente cumple cien años en 2017- genera en sendos trabajos del conspicuo filósofo norteamericano Arthur Danto y de Jean Clair, ex director del Museo Picasso de París. Se muestra los problemas que Duchamp trae a ambos críticos, y a partir de ese debate se trazan algunas derivaciones a la cuestión de la definición del arte, considerado uno de los problemas centrales de la estética contemporánea. El objetivo es intentar contribuir a la comprensión de las raíces de dicha cuestión tomando como referencia la práctica artística, en particular el caso de Marcel Duchamp, considerado detonante del problema.
Candida albicans cell wall glycosidases DFG5 and DCW1 are required for biofilm formation and Hog-1 signaling
Authors: Mancuso Ryan , Chinnici Jennifer , Tsou Charlene , Busarajan Sujay , Maddi Abhiram 
Published: February 2018

Background. Candida albicans is a commensal fungus that inhabits the oral mucosal surface and causes oral and systemic candidiasis. Oral candidiasis most commonly occurs in patients with AIDS, denture wearers and newborn children. Systemic candidiasis occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients and patients admitted to hospitals for prolonged periods. The C. albicans homologous genes, DFG5 and DCW1, encode for two closely related cell wall proteins with putative glycosyltransferase enzyme activity and C-terminal GPI-anchors. Past studies have shown that individual DFG5 and DCW1 mutations are viable but simultaneous deletion of DFG5 and DCW1 in C. albicans results in lethality. However, the exact functions of these cell wall based enzymes, which represent ideal drug targets, are not understood.
Methods. C. albicans DFG5/DCW1 heterologous and conditional double mutant strains, ES1 and ES195 respectively, were assessed for growth and biofilm formation in comparison to wild type and parental strains. Cell wall, osmotic and heat stress susceptibility of the mutant and control strains was assessed using agar spotting assays. Western Blot analysis of mutant strains and control strains was performed to assess Hog-1 phosphorylation status.
Results. Growth in planktonic cultures and biofilm formation was found to be affected in the DFG5/DCW1 double mutants as compared to control strains. The mutant strains were also less resistant to cell wall, osmotic and heat stresses as compared to control strains. Hog-1 phosphorylation was affected in the mutant strains.
Conclusions. These data indicate that Candida albicans DFG5 and DCW1 play critical roles in biofilm formation and Hog-1 signaling pathway.

The fishery for octopus in Northwest Mexico has increased to over 2,000 tons annually, but to date the specific composition of the catch has been ignored. With at least three main species targeted by artisanal fisheries in the region with distinct life histories, the lack of basic biological information about the distribution, metapopulation size and structure of each species could impede effective fisheries management to avoid overexploitation. We tested if different life histories of three species of octopus could help predict observed patterns of genetic diversity, population dynamics, structure and connectivity and how this information could be relevant to the sustainable management of the fishery. We sequenced two mitochondrial genes and genotyped seven nuclear microsatellite loci to identify the distribution of each species in 20 locations from the Gulf of California and the west coast of the Baja California peninsula. We tested five hypotheses derived from population genetic theory based on differences in the fecundity and dispersal potential for each species. We discovered thatOctopus bimaculoideswith low fecundity and direct development (without a planktonic phase) had lower average effective population size and genetic diversity, but higher levels of kinship, population structure, and richness of private alleles, than the other two species. These features indicated limited dispersal and high local recruitment. In contrast,O. bimaculatusandO. hubbsorumwith higher fecundity and planktonic phase as paralarvae had higher effective population size and genetic diversity, and overall lower kinship and population structure thanO. bimaculoides. These observations supported higher levels of gene flow over a larger geographical scale.O. bimaculatuswith the longest planktonic paralarval duration and therefore larger dispersal potential had differences in the calculated parameters possibly associated with increased connectivity. We proposeO. bimaculoidesis more susceptible to over exploitation of small, isolated populations and could have longer recovery times than the other two species. This species may benefit from distinct fishery management within each local population.O. bimaculatusandO. hubbsorummay benefit from fishery management that takes into account metapopulation structure over larger geographic scales and the directionality and magnitude of larval dispersal driven by ocean currents and population connectivity among individuals of each locality. The distribution of each species and variations in their reproductive phenology is also important to consider when establishing marine reserves or seasonal fishing closures.

Published: February 2018

Mackerel (Pneumatophorus japonicus) viscera contain large amount of protein. We used five proteases to hydrolyze the viscera, and the hydrolysate treated by neutrase exhibited the highest nitrogen recovery (NR). Then we optimized the preparation conditions for mackerel viscera hydrolysate (MVH) by response surface methodology and investigated the antioxidant activity of MVH. The optimal conditions were as follows: enzyme concentration of 1,762.87 U/g, pH of 6.76, temperature of 43.75 °C, extraction time of 6.0 h and water/material ratio of 20.37 (v/w), and the maximum NR was 37.84%. Furthermore, the molecular weight distribution of MVH was almost below 3,000 Da determined by TSK G2000 SWXL gel filtration chromatography, and the MVH exhibited good antioxidant activities in various in vitro assays, including DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion scavenging activities, reducing power and similar effectivelness as butylated hydroxytoluene and Vitamin E to inhibit lipid peroxidation. The results suggested that MVH could be used as a potential source of antioxidant peptide in food industries.
Pre‐Alpine (Variscan) Inheritance: A Key for the Location of the Future Valaisan Basin (Western Alps)
Authors: Ballèvre M. , Manzotti P. , Dal Piaz G. V. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThe boundary between the Helvetic and the Penninic (=Briançonnais) Zones has long been recognized as a major fault (“Penninic Front”) in the Western Alps. A narrow oceanic domain has been postulated at least along part of this boundary (the Valaisan Basin). However, the information provided by the pre‐Triassic basement has not been fully exploited and will be discussed here in detail. The igneous and metamorphic history of the pre‐Triassic basement shows significant differences between the External Massifs from the Helvetic Zone, with abundant Late Carboniferous granites, and the basement of the Briançonnais Zone, including the Internal Massifs (Dora‐Maira, Gran Paradiso, and Monte Rosa), devoid of Carboniferous granites. A major coal‐bearing basin, the “Zone Houillère,” opened along this boundary. This limnic intramontane basin has never been properly investigated. The Zone Houillère is not comparable with the external, paralic, flexural, basins on both sides of the Variscan belt but shows similarities with the Saar‐Saale Basin. Like the latter, we interpret the Zone Houillère as a transtensional basin opened along a major, crustal‐scale, fault zone, namely, the East Variscan Shear Zone. The Permian magmatism and sedimentation displays contrasting distributions, being absent or very localized in the Helvetic Zone, and widespread in the Penninic Zone. The above data indicate that the structural inheritance from the Variscan belt plays a major role in defining the future location of the Valaisan Basin, that is, the boundary between the European paleomargin and the Briançonnais microcontinent.

AbstractGreatly reduced scattering in the second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) region (1000–1700 nm) opens up many new exciting avenues of bioimaging research, yet NIR‐II fluorescence imaging is mostly implemented by using nontargeted fluorophores or wide‐field imaging setups, limiting the signal‐to‐background ratio and imaging penetration depth due to poor specific binding and out‐of‐focus signals. A newly developed high‐performance NIR‐II bioconjugate enables targeted imaging of a specific organ in the living body with high quality. Combined with a home‐built NIR‐II confocal set‐up, the enhanced imaging technique allows 900 µm‐deep 3D organ imaging without tissue clearing techniques. Bioconjugation of two hormones to nonoverlapping NIR‐II fluorophores facilitates two‐color imaging of different receptors, demonstrating unprecedented multicolor live molecular imaging across the NIR‐II window. This deep tissue imaging of specific receptors in live animals allows development of noninvasive molecular imaging of multifarious models of normal and neoplastic organs in vivo, beyond the traditional visible to NIR‐I range. The developed NIR‐II fluorescence microscopy will become a powerful imaging technique for deep tissue imaging without any physical sectioning or clearing treatment of the tissue.

AbstractA new organocatalyst, the selenolate anion [RSe]–, generated from bench‐stable and commercially available diphenyl diselenide or from phenyl benzyl selenide (10 mol%) is introduced. Benchmarking is performed in the conversion of benzylic chlorides into trans‐stilbenes selectively at room temperature. Mechanistic studies support the intermediacy of the selenolate anion and of 1,2‐diphenylethyl phenyl selenide.magnified image
Relationships between Falling Number, α‐amylase activity, milling, cookie, and sponge cake quality of soft white wheat
Authors: Kiszonas Alecia M. , Engle Douglas A. , Pierantoni Leonardo A. , Morris Craig F. 
Published: February 2018

Background and objectivesFalling Number (FN) in wheat is an important quality predictor and carries a significant economic impact. Lower FN is associated with higher α‐amylase activity and poorer soft wheat end‐use quality, especially sponge cake. The objective was to examine wheat samples with a range of FN between 70 > 300 s for α‐amylase activity and sponge cake quality.FindingsFalling Number was moderately well correlated with α‐amylase activity. Stirring Number, an alternative to FN, was poorly correlated with α‐amylase activity. Milling reduced α‐amylase activity in break and straight‐grade flours compared to grain, but not substantially. Sugar‐snap cookie diameter was unrelated to FN. Japanese sponge cake quality, however, was variably associated with FN and α‐amylase activity.ConclusionsIt seemed that likely the inherent genetic differences in cake quality of specific varieties out‐weighed the effects of α‐amylase (and relationships with FN). In conclusion, field samples of soft white wheat showed the general inverse relationship between FN and α‐amylase activity. However, the relationship was not strong enough to consider FN a highly robust predictor of α‐amylase activity or of sponge cake quality.Significance and noveltyThe results of this study illustrate the complex relationship among FN, α‐amylase, milling, and sponge cake quality.
Design factors of femur fracture fixation plates made of shape memory alloy based on the Taguchi method by finite element analysis

Published: February 2018

AbstractThis study proposed a way to design femur fracture fixation plates made of shape memory alloy based on computed tomography (CT) images of Korean cadaveric femurs. To this end, 3 major design factors of femur fracture fixation plates (circumference angle, thickness, and inner diameter) were selected based on the contact pressure when a femur fracture fixation plate was applied to a cylinder model using the Taguchi method. Then, the effects of the design factors were analyzed.It was shown that the design factors were statistically significant at a level of p = 0.05 concerning the inner diameter and the thickness. The factors affecting the contact pressure were inner diameter, thickness, and circumference angle, in that order. Particularly, in the condition of Case 9 (inner diameter 27 mm, thickness 2.4 mm, and circumference angle 270°), the max. average contact pressure was 21.721 MPa, while the min. average contact pressure was 3.118 MPa in Case 10 (inner diameter 29 mm, thickness 2.0 mm, and circumference angle 210°).When the femur fracture fixation plate was applied to the cylinder model, the displacement due to external sliding and pulling forces was analyzed. As a result, the displacement in the sliding condition was at max. 3.75 times greater than that in the pulling condition, which indicated that the cohesion strength between the femur fracture fixation plate and the cylinder model was likely to be greater in the pulling condition.When a human femur model was applied, the max. average contact pressure was 10.76 MPa, which was lower than the yield strength of a human femur (108 MPa). In addition, the analysis of the rib behaviors of the femur fracture fixation plate in relation to the recovery effect of the shape memory alloy showed that the rib behaviors varied depending on the arbitrarily curved shapes of the femur sections.
