La veillée en prison dans Amélie (1762) de Mme Riccoboni ou le pouvoir de la causerie amicale
Authors: Tremblay Isabelle 
Published: April 2018

Mme Riccoboni, passée maître dans la rhétorique de préface auto-dépréciative, transforme la traduction et l’anglomanie en escortes narratives de légitimation : grâce à elles, elle fait entrer dans la République des lettres un texte propre à réhabiliter la voix des femmes et leur combat pour une société plus juste. À l’ombre d’Henry Fielding et sous le masque de traductrice, Mme Riccoboni investit d’une charge critique surprenante le discours de Miss Matheus, enfermée à double tour dans la prison londonienne de Newgate. Une telle ambition confirme que l’imaginaire de la traduction peut conduire à ce que Gideon Toury appelle un « acte de planification culturelle ». La présente étude sur la portée et l’impact de la veillée en prison, qui acquiert de nouvelles proportions en s’étendant sur plus de la moitié du roman, met en lumière le contrôle et le pouvoir que s’arroge la locutrice incarcérée pour meurtre grâce à la causerie amicale, comprise comme une « conversation exclusive », pour reprendre le titre d’un ouvrage d’Elizabeth Goldsmith, mais aussi le défi que lance Mme Riccoboni à ses contemporains à une époque où le roman se conçoit comme un « livre de vie [et qu’il] est perçu comme un lieu de formation sentimentale, morale, idéologique, pratique même, en prise directe sur la réalité ».
“Like the Heathen”: Liminality, Ritual, and Religious Authority in Summer
Authors: Goldsmith Meredith 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Early twentieth-century Christianity is typically seen as backdrop, rather than foreground, in Wharton's work. Yet the 2016 American Literature Association panel on Wharton and religion, of which this article was originally a part, demonstrated the need to move religion from backdrop to foreground, especially, perhaps, with Wharton's New England fiction. My reading of Summer suggests that Wharton assessed the culture of Christianity around her in the rural New England of the era more carefully than has been previously supposed. The author's careful distribution of religious imagery and rhetoric at strategic points in the novel works to mark Charity's defiance and to resolve her liminality. In Summer, figures of religious authority mediate Charity's transition from the Mountain to North Dormer, from North Dormer to the Mountain, and back again.
“Because He's Not Here”: Edith Wharton's Study in the Afterlife, Ghosts, and the Art of Belief
Authors: Miyazawa Yuki 
Published: April 2018

AbstractIn her writings about ghost stories, Edith Wharton points out the importance of believing consciously in ghosts in order to enjoy the stories, but it seems that Wharton uses the genre to say something more about belief. Through her ghost stories, Wharton, though she generally emphasizes rationality, places herself between the rational and the irrational, a space where something or someone “not here” could be technically “here.” In this respect, Wharton makes her ghost stories a space to speculate on metaphysical questions which, in the context of William James's philosophy of religion and late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century spiritualism, was often regarded as irrational. In “The Fulness of Life,” Wharton assumes the afterlife as fact and searches for the possibility of settling difficult earthly matters in the world of the dead. Later, in “Mr. Jones,” she seeks the possible path of literary afterlife through the ghost figure and through allusions to dead authors like Edgar Allan Poe. Finally, in “The Looking-Glass,” Wharton combines themes from earlier stories, presenting a character who mediates between true and false spiritualism and between spiritualism and Catholicism.
Radiographic Resource Utilization in the Initial Referral and Evaluation of Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Authors: Oetgen Matthew E. , Matthews Allison L. , Martin Benjamin D. , Hanway Jeffrey , Kelly Shannon , Blakemore Laurel 
Published: April 2018

Introduction:
The dangers of radiation exposure in children have been well studied, with assessment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) documented as having the potential for notable patient exposure. The purposes of this study were to evaluate a consecutive series of patients referred to a tertiary care pediatric hospital for AIS and to assess the type and quality of imaging obtained before referral for specialist evaluation.

Methods:
We performed a prospective study of consecutive patients referred over a 6-month period to a pediatric orthopaedic practice at a large, free-standing, urban children's hospital for evaluation of AIS. We assessed prereferral radiographic exposure, evaluating the utilization and adequacy of these radiographs.

Results:
Of a total of 131 patients enrolled in the study, 79 had received radiographs before the visit; of these, only 59 patients (75%) brought the previously obtained radiographs to the specialist consultation, and 45 patients (76%) of this subset were found to be adequate for evaluation of AIS. Of the total cohort, 56 patients (43%) required repeat radiographs because of missing or inadequate radiographs.

Discussion:
We found a large number of missing or inadequate radiographs, leading to repeat radiation exposure in this cohort. Improvements in the utilization of radiographs before orthopaedic referral could decrease unnecessary patient radiation exposure.
« Too many sorry business ». Mort et rites funéraires dans le désert occidental australien
Authors: Poirier Sylvie 
Published: April 2018

Depuis plusieurs décennies déjà, le taux de mortalité dans les communautés aborigènes dites isolées du centre et du nord de l’Australie est assez élevé. Les causes sont diverses : mauvais état de santé, alcoolisme, accidents de voiture et violence. Tant et si bien que les Aborigènes sont constamment engagés dans ce qu’ils appellent en anglais le sorry business, soit les rites de lamentation et de deuil. En 2013, un séjour dans la communauté aborigène de Balgo (désert occidental australien), où je mène des recherches depuis 1980, m’a à nouveau confirmé cette réalité. Alors que la messe funéraire est prise en charge par l’Église catholique, les sorry business débutent dès l’annonce de la mort et se déroulent souvent sur plusieurs semaines. Dans cet article, j’explique, d’une part, la conception aborigène de la mort et décris les rites mortuaires contemporains. J’interroge, d’autre part, le comment et le pourquoi de ce haut taux de mortalité au sein de l’État-Nation australien lequel, tout en misant sur la « normalisation » des Aborigènes, continue à nier leur différence.
Lorsque des aînés évoquent la beauté de l’au-delà… ou ce que disent les expériences de mort imminente chez les Inuit du Nunavut
Authors: Laugrand Frédéric 
Published: April 2018

À partir de témoignages recueillis auprès d’Inuit dans les années 1920 par Knud Rasmussen et presqu’un siècle plus tard par l’auteur à l’occasion de plusieurs ateliers de transmission des savoirs organisés au Nunavut, l’article montre que les aînés inuit ne craignent pas la mort. Au contraire, celle-ci dispose d’un réel pouvoir d’attraction dont les plus jeunes doivent se méfier. Pour comprendre cette ouverture face à la mort, nous rappelons d’abord les composantes qui fondent la notion de personne. Nous décrivons ensuite les lieuxpost mortemet leurs transformations avec la christianisation pour, finalement, examiner des expériences de mort imminente. La vie après la mort se mesure à deux niveaux : tandis que l’âme-tarniqrejoint le monde des défunts,atiq, l’âme-nom, est transmis et recyclé lors de la naissance d’un enfant. Les défunts continuent ainsi à vivre à la fois au travers des vivants et au sein d’autres mondes. Quant aux vivants, lorsque ces derniers ne supportent plus la vie d’ici-bas, ils optent aisément pour d’autres lieux.
Réflexions sur la comprovisation de Sandeep Bhagwati : théorie et pratique
Authors: Kim Jin-Ah ,   Le Trait juste
Published: April 2018

La « comprovisation » est un terme utilisé par Sandeep Bhagwati depuis 2004, créé par la combinaison des mots « composition » et « improvisation » et servant à clarifier la coexistence systématique entre ces deux pratiques. Cet article démontre de quelle façon ce concept de Bhagwati peut être utilisé comme un concept artistique, une façon collective de faire de la musique, une façon de travailler et un modèle d’entraînement. La comprovisation propose une nouvelle formulation des tâches et des rôles des participants dans l’idée d’une pièce collaborative, une formulation consistente dans le processus de répétition d’une oeuvre mise en scène. Avec cette idée, on s’approche considérablement de l’idée de base de « faire de la musique ensemble » (Alfred Schütz, Christopher Small). Ce qui est nouveau ici est l’orientation transculturelle ou interculturelle. La comprovisation invite à expérimenter avec les frontières des musiques et des cultures actuelles, avec leur matérialité, leur sociabilité, leur performabilité et leur potentiel créatif.
LA RÉÉCRITURE POUR DÉVELOPPER UNE POSTURE D’AUTEUR CHEZ LES ÉLÈVES
Authors: Boily Vanessa , Beaudry Marie-Christine 
Published: April 2018

Nous présentons les résultats d’une recherche exploratoire à visée descriptive dans laquelle un dispositif didactique visant à amener les élèves à adopter une posture d’auteur à l’aide de la réécriture, en contexte d’écriture littéraire, fut testé auprès de raccrocheurs. Si l’analyse de contenu des entrevues menées auprès des sept participants relève la présence d’un projet d’auteur, signe que l’élève adopte une posture d’auteur, elle permet de nuancer cette présence. Certains participants ont un projet d’auteur assumé et conscient, d’autres ont un projet sans le développer, d’autres encore ont ce que nous nommons un « balbutiement de projet d’auteur ». Enfin, l’entrevue constitue un outil qui gagne à faire partie intégrante de la réécriture pour cerner le projet d’auteur des élèves.

Published: April 2018

The aim of this study was to determine the best extraction conditions of phenolic compounds present in açaí, blueberry and goji berry fruits using the response surface methodology (RSM). The phenolic compounds profile by high-performance liquid chromatography, antioxidant activity was also determined. A factorial 23 design was used to analyze the effect of the solvent (ethanol and water), time (30 and 60 min) and temperature (30 °C and 60 °C) on the extraction of total phenolic compounds (TPC) and activity antioxidant (AA). The variables time and temperature had a positive effect on antioxidant activity (AA) in their highest levels, 60 min and 60 °C, respectively. The solvent ethanol 800 g/mL was more efficient in TPC extracting with AA in all matrices. Rutin was present in high amounts in blueberry and goji berry, and the myricetin in açaí. The açaí showed higher in vitro antioxidant activity when extracted at 60 °C for 60 min. The high correlation coefficient (0.98) of global response (GR) showed that we can find out single and global response in research with multiple dependent variables. The GR analysis indicated the highest values of the TPC and AA when the fruits were extracted at 60°C for 60 min using ethanol as solvent and it was very useful for simplifying and improving the phenolic compounds extraction performance.
Construction and Uncertainty Estimation of a Satellite‐Derived Total Precipitable Water Data Record Over the World's Oceans

Published: April 2018

AbstractMeasurements of total precipitable water (TPW) from 11 satellite‐borne microwave imaging radiometers are intercalibrated and merged into a single gridded monthly data set starting in January 1988 and continuing to the present. The resulting data set shows a global mean, ocean‐only trend in TPW of 0.436 kg/m2 per decade (1.49% per decade), and a trend in the deep tropics (20°S–20°N) of 0.629 kg/m2 per decade (1.503% per decade). The uncertainty in the merged TPW results is analyzed on multiple time and distance scales using a Monte Carlo approach. This analysis results in an uncertainty ensemble that can be used to evaluate the effects of construction uncertainty on any subsequent application of the data set. We compare the merged data set with measurements of TPW from ground‐based Global Navigation Satellite System sensors on small islands. These comparisons show no systematic long‐term drifts in the differences, and the observed differences were largely explained by our uncertainty analysis. As an example of the use of the uncertainty ensemble, we evaluate the increase in TPW over the Gulf of Mexico during summer months over 1988–2017.
Functions of Flavonoid and Betalain Pigments in Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants
Authors: Davies Kevin M. , Albert Nick W. , Zhou Yanfei , Schwinn Kathy E. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractIn addition to providing pigmentation to facilitate plant reproduction, flavonoid and betalain metabolites have important functions in plant tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Flavonoids are ubiquitous in land plants, and the biosynthetic pathway is thought to have arisen during the period when plants were emerging onto the land around 500 million years ago. Flavonoids have been demonstrated to assist in tolerance to a wide range of stresses, and their production can be induced by cold, high light, nutrient deprivation, UV light, desiccation, salinity, senescence, metal toxicity, and pest and pathogen attack. Betalains are thought to be a much more recent acquisition by plants, as their occurrence is limited to the core Caryophyllales. As with flavonoids, a range of stress‐tolerance functions for red betalain pigments have been proposed; however, their production in response to elevated salinity is of particular note. In this article, we review aspects of these pathways of much current interest: the possible mechanisms of flavonoids and betalains in providing abiotic stress tolerance and recent advances in our understanding of the transcriptional regulation that controls the induction of their biosynthetic pathways in relation to stress.
Exploring the Role of the Ovule in Cereal Grain Development and Reproductive Stress Tolerance
Authors: Wilkinson Laura G. , Bird Dayton C. , Tucker Matthew R. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractMaintaining and enhancing grain production in cereal crops is a key priority for global research efforts. The formation of floral organs impacts the number and quality of grain produced, and is an important component of cereal yield. The grain is derived predominantly from the ovule, a multifunctional tissue located in the ovary of the flower that specifies and nurtures the female germline, produces a female gametophyte, and supports embryo and endosperm development after fertilisation. Grain cannot form without successful production and fertilisation of the female gametophyte, and the stages of floral development encompassing gametophyte formation are particularly sensitive to environmental fluctuations. A deeper fundamental understanding of female reproductive development from a tissue‐ and cell‐type‐specific perspective may provide opportunities to sustain and increase grain yields. In this article, we consider flower and ovule development, with a particular focus on pre‐fertilisation stages in cereals and their role in stress tolerance and downstream grain formation.
Abiotic Stress Responses are Governed by Reactive Oxygen Species and Age
Authors: Kanojia Aakansha , Dijkwel Paul P. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractPlants grown under abiotic stress conditions such as salinity, drought, cold, or heat display a variety of molecular, biochemical, and physiological changes including excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The over‐production of ROS causes DNA damage and protein cross‐linking, which can lead to poor molecular transport, reduced enzyme activity, and loss of cell functions. The accumulation of ROS in response to stress also activates several signalling pathways which, in coordination with hormones such as ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA), allow for an adaptive response to stress, resulting in adjustments in plant growth and development in an attempt to maximise survival. Thus, the increase in ROS level by environmental stress results in both damage and an adaptive response; the outcome of the stress, i.e. survival or death then depends on the severity of the stress in combination with the stress response. In this article, we review elements of abiotic stress responses, in particular how ROS work together with the hormones ethylene and ABA to induce distinct stress responses in tissues of different age.
Toward the Effective Exploitation of Topological Phases of Matter in Catalysis: Chemical Reactions at the Surfaces of NbAs and TaAs Weyl Semimetals

Published: April 2018

AbstractBy means of density functional theory and experiments, surface chemical reactivity of single crystals of NbAs and TaAs Weyl semimetals is studied. Weyl semimetals exhibit outstanding reactivity toward simple molecules (oxygen, carbon monoxide, and water), with several active sites available for surface chemical reactions (adsorption, decomposition, formation of reaction products, recombination of decomposition fragments). When different chemical species are adsorbed on Weyl semimetals, strong lateral interactions between coadsorbed species occur, evidenced by CO‐promoted water decomposition at room temperature. The resulting OH groups react with CO to form HCOO, which is an intermediate species in water–gas shift reaction. These findings unambiguously demonstrate that Weyl semimetals could be effectively used in catalysis, whereas their employment in nanoelectronics or plasmonics is complicated by the poor ambient stability, due to the rapid surface oxidation, inevitably occurring unless protective capping layers are used.
Targeting CXCR4–CXCL12 Axis for Visualizing, Predicting, and Inhibiting Breast Cancer Metastasis with Theranostic AMD3100–Ag2S Quantum Dot Probe

AbstractBreast cancer metastasis remains the primary cause of death and efforts to predict and reduce metastatic risk are particularly appealing. CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is reported as a specific metastasis due to its chemotactic homing to CXCL12. Herein, conjugation of a CXCR4 antagonist, AMD3100, to a fluorescent silver sulfide quantum dot (Ag2S) core (QD‐AMD) allows accurate detection of CXCR4 expression in tumor. Particularly, the probe precisely distinguishes highly metastatic breast cancer cells from those of lower metastatic ability. Longitudinal in vivo imaging predicts at early stages that the high CXCR4 expressing orthotopic 4T1 tumor would subsequently metastasize to lungs 14 d after tumor inoculation, while no metastasis forms from the low CXCR4 expressing MCF‐7 tumor. Correlative measurements find that the CXCL12 levels in lung increase with tumor progression. Perturbations of either CXCR4 on tumor cells by QD‐AMD or CXCL12 in the lungs by antibody successfully inhibit cancer metastasis. Intravenous injection of QD‐AMD in primary 4T1 tumor model effectively reduces lung metastasis. More importantly, due to the intrinsic photothermal effect, the metastatic spread is more thoroughly abrogated along with substantial shrinkage of primary tumor. Altogether, the probe is promising to detect, predict, and inhibit the metastatic spread of breast tumor.
Virus‐Inspired Nanogenes Free from Man‐Made Materials for Host‐Specific Transfection and Bio‐Aided MR Imaging

AbstractMany viruses have a lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane that contributes much to the host specificity and the cellular invasion. This study puts forward a virus‐inspired technology that allows targeted genetic delivery free from man‐made materials. Genetic therapeutics, metal ions, and biologically derived cell membranes are nanointegrated. Vulnerable genetic therapeutics contained in the formed “nanogene” can be well protected from unwanted attacks by blood components and enzymes. The surface envelope composed of cancer cell membrane fragments enables host‐specific targeting of the nanogene to the source cancer cells and homologous tumors while effectively inhibiting recognition by macrophages. High transfection efficiency highlights the potential of this technology for practical applications. Another unique merit of this technology arises from the facile combination of special biofunction of metal ions with genetic therapy. Typically, Gd(III)‐involved nanogene generates a much higher T1 relaxation rate than the clinically used Gd magnetic resonance imaging agent and harvests the enhanced MRI contrast at tumors. This virus‐inspired technology points out a distinctive new avenue for the disease‐specific transport of genetic therapeutics and other biomacromolecules.
A Multimaterial Scaffold With Tunable Properties: Toward Bone Tissue Repair

Published: April 2018

AbstractPolyetheretherketone (PEEK)/β‐tricalcium phosphate (β‐TCP) scaffolds are expected to be able to combine the excellent mechanical strength of PEEK and the good bioactivity and biodegradability of β‐TCP. While PEEK acts as a closed membrane in which β‐TCP is completely wrapped after the melting/solidifying processing, the PEEK membrane degrades very little, hence the scaffolds cannot display bioactivity and biodegradability. The strategy reported here is to blend a biodegradable polymer with PEEK and β‐TCP to fabricate multi‐material scaffolds via selective laser sintering (SLS). The biodegradable polymer first degrades and leaves caverns on the closed membrane, and then the wrapped β‐TCP is exposed to body fluid. In this study, poly(l‐lactide) (PLLA) is adopted as the biodegradable polymer. The results show that large numbers of caverns form on the membrane with the degradation of PLLA, enabling direct contact between β‐TCP and body fluid, and allowing for their ion‐exchange. As a consequence, the scaffolds display the bioactivity, biodegradability and cytocompatibility. Moreover, bone defect repair studies reveal that new bone tissues grow from the margin towards the center of the scaffolds from the histological analysis. The bone defect region is completely connected to the host bone end after 8 weeks of implantation.
