Authors: Duclos Philippe , Tuaillon P. , Joubert L. 
Published: February 2018

Les lésions cellulaires et tissulaires, à la fois pulmonaires et cutanéomuqueuses, provoquées par la myxomatose, sont comparées, sur la base d'une étude expérimentale, en fonction de la voie d'inoculation et de la souche virale.
Les. lésions sont discutées en fonction de la clinique et d’une étude bactériologique associée de l'arbre respiratoire.
L’opposition est relevée entre certaines souches virales récentes et les souches classiques, par l’indigence pour les premières des lésions angioneurotiques du derme profond et la discrétion de l’œdème consécutif du derme en dépit de la conservation intégrale de la virulence et des manifestations pulmonaires.
Un schéma pathogénique est proposé et l’intérêt diagnostique de l’histopathologie est souligné.
Sur quelques troubles et lésions aiguës et subaiguës produits par l’aflatoxine B1 sur le rat Wistar
Authors: Jacquet Jean , Lemarinier Sylvie 
Published: February 2018

Once more, the aflatoxin B1 comes out as a very powerful carcinogen in the white rat. The buccal duct, the subcutaneous injection, as Dickens and Jones have laid it down, testicular and intramuscular ways, as we have just shown it, lead to tumours inducing death.
We also accentuate the importance of precocious diseases : a slowing growth of young, a decreasing serum protein fractions, with an altering proteinogram and constant hepatic lesions, independantly of the way of difuranocoumarin injection. These lesions will be maintaining or growing worse according to the injected flavacoumarin doses and the effect periods. If we add the subacute effects of pulmonary infections, complications and haemorrhages, the presence of aflatoxin B1 must be considered as eminently suspect in animal feeding, on account of doses and the different species sensitiveness.

The presence of BLF specific antibodies and the BLV-p24 in the blood of 25 calves obtained by transfer of embryos from infected dams to non-infected recipients, were negative at the time of the birth. Eight calves bom from the donor cows, after a normal pregnancy, were also negative.
A recipient cow, to which an embryo from an infected donor was transfered, remained negative.
The transfer of embryos from high pedigree BLV-infected cows, to unifected recipients, seems to provide a good way to preserve valuable blood lines in an infected herd, during eradication of the BLV infection.

Turtle meat shows a high value in amino-acids, vitamins and minerals, and a low rate of lipids. The liver (or «fat liver») is rich in lipids, amino-acids, iron and vitamins. The kidneys, not commercialized, have no particular nutritionnal characteristic.
Au sujet de l'assainissement des laits dits de retour de laiterie destinés à l'alimentation des animaux
Authors: Fleckinger Robert 
Published: February 2018

Motivée par le souci de mener à bien l'éradication de la tuberculose des bovidés dans un grand département d'industrie laitière, l'obligation fut faite aux laiteries d’assainir, par un procédé thermique agréé, les laits dits de retour (laits maigres, babeurres, lactosérums) rétrocédés aux propriétaires pour l'alimentation de leurs animaux. Cette initiative départementale, prise le 13 décembre 1955, après Jurisprudence établie (Conseil d'Etat 13 décembre 1957), fut recommandée aux Préfets (Directions des Services Vétérinaires), pour étude, en vue d’application, par circulaire du Ministre de l'Agriculture du 14 mars 1961.
Avec un recul de 25 années, l'auteur examine les incidences sanitaires et connexes de la mesure, l'efficacité des procédés technologiques mis en œuvre, ainsi que la situation actuelle au regard de l'application.
Il est amené à constater que l'industrie laitière, du moins dans les grandes régions productrices, sous la double contrainte sanitaire et de pénalisation des rejets, a choisi la voie de l'utilisation des sous-produits de laiterie, en particulier, du lactosérum qui est devenu un sous-produit à part entière, dont la valorisation, en toute inocuité sanitaire, est, ou peut être, aujourd’hui, assurée par des procédés technologiques diversifiés qui font honneur à la Recherche et à l’Industrie Laitière.
La mise en place du progrès technologique, selon des procédés pouvant convenir aux régions de montagne, devrait mettre un terme aux rejets ou aux utilisations directes de mélanges sans garantie sanitaire, lorsqu’ils sont encore pratiqués dans ces régions.
Simultaneous shifts in elemental stoichiometry and fatty acids of Emiliania huxleyi in response to environmental changes
Authors: Bi Rong , Ismar Stefanie M. H. , Sommer Ulrich , Zhao Meixun 
Published: February 2018

Abstract. Climate-driven changes in environmental conditions have
significant and complex effects on marine ecosystems. Variability in
phytoplankton elements and biochemicals can be important for global ocean
biogeochemistry and ecological functions, while there is currently limited
understanding on how elements and biochemicals respond to the changing
environments in key coccolithophore species such as Emiliania huxleyi. We investigated responses of elemental stoichiometry and fatty
acids (FAs) in a strain of E. huxleyi under three temperatures (12,
18 and 24 ∘C), three N : P supply ratios (molar ratios 10:1,
24:1 and 63:1) and two pCO2 levels (560 and 2400 µatm).
Overall, C : N : P stoichiometry showed the most pronounced response to
N : P supply ratios, with high ratios of particulate organic carbon vs.
particulate organic nitrogen (POC : PON) and low ratios of PON vs.
particulate organic phosphorus (PON : POP) in low-N media, and high
POC : POP and PON : POP in low-P media. The ratio of particulate
inorganic carbon vs. POC (PIC : POC) and polyunsaturated fatty acid
proportions strongly responded to temperature and pCO2, both being
lower under high pCO2 and higher with warming. We observed synergistic
interactions between warming and nutrient deficiency (and high pCO2)
on elemental cellular contents and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) proportion in
most cases, indicating the enhanced effect of warming under nutrient
deficiency (and high pCO2). Our results suggest differential
sensitivity of elements and FAs to the changes in temperature, nutrient
availability and pCO2 in E. huxleyi, which is to some extent
unique compared to non-calcifying algal classes. Thus, simultaneous changes
of elements and FAs should be considered when predicting future roles of
E. huxleyi in the biotic-mediated connection between biogeochemical
cycles, ecological functions and climate change.
Tidal variability of nutrients in a coastal coral reef system influenced by groundwater

Published: February 2018

Abstract. To investigate variation in nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate in a spring–neap tide in a coral reef system influenced by groundwater discharge, we carried out a time-series observation of these nutrients and 228Ra, a tracer of groundwater discharge, in the Luhuitou fringing reef at Sanya Bay in the South China Sea. The maximum 228Ra, 45.3 dpm 100 L−1, appeared at low tide and the minimum, 14.0 dpm 100 L−1, appeared during a flood tide in the spring tide. The activity of 228Ra was significantly correlated with water depth and salinity in the spring–neap tide, reflecting the tidal-pumping feature of groundwater discharge. Concentrations of all nutrients exhibited strong diurnal variation, with a maximum in the amplitude of the diel change for nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate in the spring tide of 0.46, 1.54, 0.12, and 2.68 µM, respectively. Nitrate and phosphate were negatively correlated with water depth during the spring tide but showed no correlation during the neap tide. Nitrite was positively correlated with water depth in the spring and neap tide due to mixing of nitrite-depleted groundwater and nitrite-rich offshore seawater. They were also significantly correlated with salinity (R2  ≥  0.9 and P < 0.05) at the ebb flow of the spring tide, negative for nitrate and phosphate and positive for nitrite, indicating the mixing of nitrite-depleted, nitrate- and phosphate-rich less saline groundwater and nitrite-rich, nitrate- and phosphate-depleted saline offshore seawater. We quantified variation in oxidized nitrogen (NOx) and phosphate contributed by biological processes based on deviations from mixing lines of these nutrients. During both the spring and neap tide biologically contributed NOx and phosphate were significantly correlated with regression slopes of 4.60 (R2  =  0.16) in the spring tide and 13.4 (R2  =  0.75) in the neap tide, similar to the composition of these nutrients in the water column, 5.43 (R2  =  0.27) and 14.2 (R2  =  0.76), respectively. This similarity indicates that the composition of nutrients in the water column of the reef system was closely related with biological processes during both tidal periods, but the biological influence appeared to be less dominant, as inferred from the less significant correlations (R2  =  0.16) during the spring tide when groundwater discharge was more prominent. Thus, the variability of nutrients in the coral reef system was regulated mainly by biological uptake and release in a spring–neap tide and impacted by mixing of tidally driven groundwater and offshore seawater during spring tide.
Rain concentration and sheltering effect of solar panels on cultivated plots
Authors: Elamri Yassin , Cheviron Bruno , Mange Annabelle , Dejean Cyril , Liron François , Belaud Gilles 
Published: February 2018

Abstract. Agrivoltaism
is the association of agricultural and photovoltaic
energy production on the same land area, coping with the increasing
pressure on land use and water resources while delivering clean
and renewable energy. However, the solar panels located above the
cultivated plots also have a seemingly yes unexplored effect on rain
redistribution, sheltering large parts of the plot but redirecting
concentrated fluxes on a few locations. The spatial heterogeneity
in water amounts observed on the ground is high in the general case;
its dynamical patterns are directly attributable to the mobile
panels through their geometrical characteristics (dimensions,
height, coverage percentage) and the strategies selected to rotate
them around their support tube. A coefficient of variation is used
to measure this spatial heterogeneity and to compare it with the
coefficient of uniformity that classically describes the efficiency
of irrigation systems. A rain redistribution model (AVrain) was
derived from literature elements and theoretical grounds and then
validated from experiments in both field and controlled
conditions. AVrain simulates the effective rain amounts on the plot
from a few forcing data (rainfall, wind velocity and direction) and thus
allows real-time strategies that consist in operating the panels so
as to limit the rain interception mainly responsible for the spatial
heterogeneities. Such avoidance strategies resulted in a sharp
decrease in the coefficient of variation, e.g. 0.22 vs. 2.13 for
panels held flat during one of the monitored rain events, which is
a fairly good uniformity score for irrigation specialists. Finally,
the water amounts predicted by AVrain were used as inputs to
Hydrus-2D for a brief exploratory study on the impact of the
presence of solar panels on rain redistribution at shallow depths
within soils: similar, more diffuse patterns were simulated and
were coherent with field measurements.
Language as a Facilitator of Cultural Connection
Authors: Gonzalez Miigis B. , Aronson Benjamin D. , Kellar Sidnee , Walls Melissa L. , Greenfield Brenna L. 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Understanding culture as a means of preventing or treating health concerns is growing in popularity among social behavioral health scientists. Language is one component of culture and therefore may be a means to improve health among Indigenous populations. This study explores language as a unique aspect of culture through its relationship to other demographic and cultural variables. Participants (n = 218) were adults who self-identified as American Indian, had a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and were drawn from two Ojibwe communities using health clinic records. We used chi-squared tests to compare language proficiency by demographic groups and ANOVA tests to examine relationships between language and culture. A higher proportion of those living on reservation lands could use the Ojibwe language, and fluent speakers were most notably sixty-five years of age and older. Regarding culture, those with greater participation and value belief in cultural activities reported greater language proficiency.
Addressing Double Layers of Discrimination as Barriers to Health Care: Indigenous Peoples with Disabilities
Authors: Rivas Velarde Minerva Concepcion 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Multiple or aggravated forms of discrimination have not been properly dealt with in health systems. This article reports on the findings of three case studies conducted in Australia, Mexico, and New Zealand that look at the experiences of Indigenous persons with disabilities accessing health care. The findings show that health systems in these three countries have not sufficiently addressed barriers to health care arising from aggravated forms of discrimination, such as the intersection between disability and indigeneity. Findings reveal also how both interpersonal and systematic discrimination emerged from protocols and procedures that often had no discriminatory intent but had a disproportionately negative impact on populations such as Indigenous persons with disabilities. The article also offers recommendations on how to improve awareness and cultural competency to tackle discriminatory practices in order to improve health access and effective adherence of Indigenous peoples in health care settings.
English and Mauritian Creole: A Reflection on How the Vocabulary, Grammar and Syntax of the Two Languages Create Difficulties for Learners
Authors: Kumari Jugnauth Kobita 
Published: February 2018

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the various linguistic reasons that cause Mauritian students to experience difficulties while learning English. As Mauritius is a former British and French colony, most Mauritians are bilinguals. Both English and French are compulsory subjects up to Cambridge O’Level. English is the official language and also the language of instruction but French is much more widely used and spoken. Also Mauritian Creole is the mothertongue of the majority of Mauritians. This linguistic situation impacts heavily on the teaching and learning of English both at primary and secondary level. Often, students encounter a number of problems at the vocabulary and grammatical level ; these are due to the linguistic specificities of both English and Mauritian Creole. Today, the different types of ‘ Englishes’ emerging around the world, are making it increasingly confusing for teachers to teach this language and for learners to learn it.
The Predictability of Iranian EFL Teachers’ Emotional Quotient (EQ) with Their Job Satisfaction
Authors: Khoshnoodfar Pantea , Pahlavani Pantea 
Published: February 2018

As teacher education and teacher related issues are under the attention in the past decade in second language (L2) teaching /learning; this research investigated the predictability of Iranian EFL teachers’ emotional quotient (EQ) with their job satisfaction. To this end, 90 EFL teachers at English language institutes in Tehran province were selected as the participants. The needed data was gathered by the use of two standardized questionnaires (filled by the participants): EQ and teacher job satisfaction questionnaires. First of all, the normality of the gathered data was checked through using SPSS version 23. Then, the Spearman coefficient of correlation was used to find whether there is any relationship between the participants’ EQ and job satisfaction. The results proved the two variables had a statistically significant and positive correlation with each other. In the next step, the researchers opted for the multiple regression analysis to achieve the research objective. The present study was a quasi-Experimental including a cause and effect design. The predictor was the independent variable (EQ) and the predicted one was the dependent variable (job satisfaction). The findings illustrated a statistically significant and positive predictability of Iranian EFL teachers’ EQ with their job satisfaction. The results of the present research would be useful for second language teacher education courses. It was proven that, since teachers’ EQ can control their job satisfaction, the findings of the present paper could be beneficial in teacher training issues and teacher education.
Rational design and analysis of an Escherichia coli strain for high-efficiency tryptophan production
Authors: Chen Yuanye , Liu Yongfei , Ding Dongqin , Cong Lina , Zhang Dawei 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
l-tryptophan (l-trp) is a precursor of various bioactive components and has great pharmaceutical interest. However, due to the requirement of several precursors and complex regulation of the pathways involved, the development of an efficient l-trp production strain is challenging. In this study, Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain KW001 was designed to overexpress the l-trp operator sequences (trpEDCBA) and 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (aroGfbr). To further improve the production of l-trp, pyruvate kinase (pykF) and the phosphotransferase system HPr (ptsH) were deleted after inactivation of repression (trpR) and attenuation (attenuator) to produce strain KW006. To overcome the relatively slow growth and to increase the transport rate of glucose, strain KW018 was generated by combinatorial regulation of glucokinase (galP) and galactose permease (glk) expression. To reduce the production of acetic acid, strain KW023 was created by repressive regulation of phosphate acetyltransferase (pta) expression. In conclusion, strain KW023 efficiently produced 39.7 g/L of l-trp with a conversion rate of 16.7% and a productivity of 1.6 g/L/h in a 5 L fed-batch fermentation system.
Piezoelectric and elastic properties of relaxor-like PZT:Ba ceramics

Published: February 2018

Abstract
The solid solutions of PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT) are the most known and widely applicable piezoelectric ceramic materials. The influence of different dopants on PZT properties has been studied for many years. Some of such compositions have revealed a behavior typical for ferroelectric relaxors. In the case of Pb0.75Ba0.25Zr0.70Ti0.30O3 ceramics (abbreviation PBZT 25/70/30), prepared by mixed-oxide processing technique elastic, it was found that macroscopic piezoelectric activity is present far above the temperature at which structural changes and maximum of permittivity occur in unpoled samples (~ 200 °C). Anomalies of the elastic and piezoelectric properties have been observed very clearly near the temperature of 152 °C. Within the temperature range of 152–220 °C, unstable piezoelectric properties have been detected due to the existence of polar micro/nano-clusters and non-trivial elastic-electric interactions between them, through the non-polar paraelectric matrix. The origin of such interactions could be lattice instabilities, dynamic change in polar cluster sizes, and fluctuations in chemical composition. Based on the results of the research, it can be said that PZT ceramics of such composition is a relaxor-like material and it is not a ferroelectric relaxor.
Influence of a recessed step at the throat section of a supersonic nozzle
Authors: Zocca M. , Spinelli A. , Cozzi F. , Guardone A. 
Published: February 2018

ABSTRACTThe geometry of a planar converging-diverging nozzle operating with dry air in dilute gas conditions is modified by the introduction of a small recessed step at the throat section. Pressure measurements along the nozzle axis, schlieren visualisations and numerical simulations are performed to investigate the influence of the recessed step on the supersonic flow-field. In the experiments, the height of the recessed step is 0.1 mm and the nozzle height at the throat is 10 mm. Numerical simulations examine also 0.05 mm and 0.2 mm step heights. From the numerical simulations, the flow Mach number at the step location is 1.04 and the Reynolds number computed using the sonic conditions and the throat half-height is Re = 3.73 × 105. A perturbation wave pattern originates from the step, which results in a perturbation of the measured pressure profile close to the throat section. In the diverging portion, sufficiently far from the throat section, the pressure profile of the recessed-step nozzle matches the one measured in the clean configuration.
Supervisor to coworker social undermining: The moderating roles of bottom-line mentality and self-efficacy
Authors: Eissa Gabi , Wyland Rebecca , Gupta Ritu 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThis research presents and tests a trickle-down model of social undermining in the workplace. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this study specifically demonstrates that supervisor social undermining is positively associated with coworker social undermining in the workplace. Furthermore, this study argues that employee bottom-line mentality will exacerbate the positive relationship between supervisor social undermining and coworker social undermining, whereas employee self-efficacy will buffer this positive relationship. Overall, our findings support our proposed trickle-down model using field data obtained from several information technology and financial organizations in India. Theoretical and practical implications as well as directions for future research are discussed.
“Palatal” and “palatalized” redefined
Authors: Armond R. C. De 
Published: February 2018

The purpose of this paper is to show that the term “palatal” has been used with various meanings and to redefine or establish a consistency of terminology concerning this term with respect to palatalized and central consonants. Confusion arising from the various divisions of the tongue into articulators and from the misuse of the above articulatory terms has led to incorrect phonological solutions.The status of Russian palatalized and palatal consonants has been under discussion recently. Dunatov claims in a recent article that Russian palatal consonants cannot be palatalized and suggests three different orders of palatals to distinguish “the three articulatory sets of palatals encountered in the Slavic languages”: pre-palatal, medio-palatal, and post-palatal. However, he fails to state the distribution of them in Russian or the other Slavic languages.
