Authors: Musaubach María Gabriela , Berón Mónica A. 
Published: September 2016

ResumenLos estudios sobre macro y microrrestos botánicos en contextos de cazadores-recolectoresde Pampa y Norpatagonia se han incrementado, al igual que el conocimiento del impacto de las plantas en la dieta de estas poblaciones. Con este propósito se han integrado diversos indicadores y técnicas analíticas. En algunos casos se registra el uso simultáneo de plantas silvestres y cultígenos. El marco temporal de uso de plantas domesticadas en la macroregión se ha desarrollado hasta ca. 2000 años a.P., mientras que la escala espacial se extiende entre el área cordillerana hasta las provincias fitogeográficas del monte y el espinal (34º a 40º S y 72º a 63º O aproximadamente). En este trabajo se presentan datos novedosos referidos a la presencia simultánea de maíz (Zea mays), cereales y leguminosas silvestres (Prosopis sp.y Poaceae) en contextos de cazadores-recolectores de la Pampa Occidental Argentina. Estos datos provienen del análisis de microfósiles en diferentes soportes: cerámica, artefactos de molienda y dientes humanos. Estos resultados permitieron conocer el rol que tuvieron las plantas para estas sociedades. A su vez, los datos fueron integrados, con investigaciones que focalizan el estudio de restos vegetales, tanto silvestres como domesticados, en una escala macroregional.
Analyse longitudinale des relations entre le biais négatif d’autoévaluation de compétence et le sentiment d’imposture chez les élèves
Authors: Grenon Élisa , Bouffard Thérèse 
Published: September 2016

Cette étude longitudinale de 6 ans comportait trois objectifs spécifiques : 1) vérifier la stabilité temporelle du biais négatif d’autoévaluation de compétence et du sentiment d’imposture 2) examiner, à chaque année, les relations entre les deux phénomènes et 3) vérifier si la persistance d’un biais négatif d’autoévaluation est reliée au développement du sentiment d’imposture. 454 élèves (10-11 ans au début de l'étude) ont répondu à des questionnaires portant sur leur perception de compétence et leur sentiment d’imposture. Les résultats indiquent que le biais d'autoévaluation et le sentiment d’imposture ainsi que leurs interrelations sont modérément stables dans le temps. Il ressort aussi qu’une fois contrôlé l’effet du sentiment d’imposture de l’année précédente, le cumul des biais négatifs d'autoévaluation évalués à chaque année de l’étude est toujours lié au sentiment d’imposture de l’année en cours. Maintenir dans le temps un biais négatif d'autoévaluation paraît être un facteur de risque dans le développement du sentiment d’imposture.
Victim Pays Damages to Tortfeasor: The When and Wherefore
Authors: Shmueli Benjamin , Sinai Yuval 
Published: September 2016

Is there a reality in which the victim pays damages to the tortfeasor? This article analyzes Calabresi and Melamed’s liability rule for the damaging party (Rule 4), where the damaged party has the right to prevent pollution if the polluter is compensated first. Under the conventional application of this rule, the victim first collects the money and compensates the injurer, and only then is the injurer required to eliminate the nuisance (ex ante). There is no reference to a possibility of the injurer first eliminating the nuisance and only then receiving compensation (ex post). We argue that the timing of the payment should be changed when the activity causing the nuisance has social and economic value. Each version of the rule advances the aggregate welfare in some sense, but also harms it in another.
The primary aim of the present article is to introduce a new model for Rule 4 that would guide legislators, regulators, and judges in deciding when to order compensation as a condition for eliminating the nuisance and when to order the injurer to remove the nuisance first and only then collect the funds.
This article also introduces a comparative perspective that reveals the potential use of the ex post version of Rule 4, as manifest in sources of the Jewish legal tradition. This comparison further bolsters our proposal in favour of a division between ex ante and ex post versions of the rule.
Ultimately, offering two versions for the implementation of Rule 4 would better enable the adaptation of a suitable solution according to the circumstances and thus would widen the possibilities for the rule’s use.
L’interaction entre le droit civil et le droit du travail et ses effets pratiques sur le travail atypique : le rôle du contrat dans l’accès aux régimes de protection des travailleurs
Authors: Barrère Graciela , Vallée Guylaine 
Published: September 2016

Le présent texte examine le rôle du contrat en tant que critère d’accès aux régimes législatifs ayant une vocation de protection en matière de travail humain. Cette question, qui n’est que l’une des manifestations de l’interaction entre le droit civil et le droit du travail, peut avoir des incidences sur l’accès des personnes qui occupent un emploi atypique à la protection du droit du travail.
La première partie du texte présente les fondements possibles du rapport de travail donnant accès aux régimes de protection du droit du travail. La thèse contractuelle et celle fondée sur la « relation de travail » y sont présentées en tenant compte de la façon dont elles ont été reçues au Québec et de l’apport de certains droits étrangers à l’analyse théorique de la nature du rapport de travail donnant ouverture à la protection du droit du travail.
Dans la seconde partie du texte, nous abordons les effets que peuvent avoir ces thèses sur l’accès aux protections des lois du travail québécoises à partir de quelques décisions concernant certaines formes de travail atypique. Pour les auteures, la jurisprudence étudiée illustre les difficultés de l’approche axée sur la forme contractuelle pour la protection des personnes qui ne répondent pas au standard classique de salarié. Cette jurisprudence fournit aussi les indices d’une approche qui permettrait au droit du travail de remplir sa fonction de protection auprès de ces personnes.
Commande et créativité partagée : la Sequenza xii pour basson de Luciano Berio
Authors: Velasco-Pufleau Luis 
Published: September 2016

En fixant le lieu, la date et le cadre de la création, la commande d’une oeuvre nouvelle peut constituer la consolidation d’un travail artistique et d’une collaboration intellectuelle de plusieurs années entre le compositeur et l’interprète. Tel est le cas de la Sequenza xii pour basson de Luciano Berio (1925-2003), dédiée au bassoniste français Pascal Gallois. Créée au Théâtre du Châtelet à Paris le 15 juin 1995, cette oeuvre émerge lentement au cours d’un processus de maturation technique et musicale ayant commencé en 1990, où le compositeur et l’interprète s’entraînent mutuellement dans une dynamique de créativité partagée. S’appuyant sur des documents d’archives et sur une série d’entretiens avec Pascal Gallois, l’objectif de cet article est de retracer le processus de création de cette Sequenza afin de montrer de quelle façon le moment de la commande officielle de la part de l’Ensemble intercontemporain concrétise l’engagement artistique entre un virtuose et un compositeur au sommet de son art.
Estimate of tsunami source using optimized unit sources and including dispersion effects during tsunami propagation: The 2012 Haida Gwaii earthquake

Published: September 2016

AbstractWe apply a genetic algorithm to find the optimized unit sources using dispersive tsunami synthetics to estimate the tsunami source of the 2012 Haida Gwaii earthquake. The optimal number and distribution of unit sources gives the sea surface elevation similar to that from our previous slip distribution on a fault using tsunami data, but different from that using seismic data. The difference is possibly due to submarine mass failure in the source region. Dispersion effects during tsunami propagation reduce the maximum amplitudes by up to 20% of conventional linear longwave propagation model. Dispersion effects also increase tsunami travel time by approximately 1 min per 1300 km on average. The dispersion effects on amplitudes depend on the azimuth from the tsunami source reflecting the directivity of tsunami source, while the effects on travel times depend only on the distance from the source.
Hydrogeological controls of water table‐land surface interactions
Authors: Bresciani E. , Goderniaux P. , Batelaan O. 
Published: September 2016

AbstractInteractions of the water table with the land surface impact a wide range of hydrologic, climatic, ecologic, and geomorphologic processes. Yet the factors controlling these interactions are still poorly understood. In this work, a new 2‐D (cross‐sectional) analytical groundwater flow solution is used to derive a dimensionless criterion that expresses the conditions under which the water table “outcrops” (i.e., reaches the land surface). The criterion gives insights into the functional relationships between geology, topography, climate, and resulting water table outcrops. This sheds light on the debate about the topographic control of groundwater flow, as the effective role of the topography is to constrain the water table only where it outcrops. The criterion provides a practical tool to predict water table outcrops if physical parameters are known and to estimate physical parameters if on the contrary water table outcrops are known. The latter aspect is demonstrated through an application example.

AbstractThe Pamirs represent the indented westward continuation of the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, dividing the Tarim and Tajik basins. Their evolution may be a key factor influencing aridification of the Asian interior, yet the tectonics of the Pamir Salient are poorly understood. We present a provenance study of the Aertashi section, a Paleogene to late Neogene clastic succession deposited in the Tarim basin to the north of the NW margin of Tibet (the West Kunlun) and to the east of the Pamirs. Our detrital zircon U‐Pb ages coupled with zircon fission track, bulk rock Sm‐Nd, and petrography data document changes in contributing source terranes during the Oligocene to Miocene, which can be correlated to regional tectonics. We propose a model for the evolution of the Pamir and West Kunlun (WKL), in which the WKL formed topography since at least ~200 Ma. By ~25 Ma, movement along the Pamir‐bounding faults such as the Kashgar‐Yecheng Transfer System had commenced, marking the onset of Pamir indentation into the Tarim‐Tajik basin. This is coincident with basinward expansion of the northern WKL margin, which changed the palaeodrainage pattern within the Kunlun, progressively cutting off the more southerly WKL sources from the Tarim basin. An abrupt change in the provenance and facies of sediments at Aertashi has a maximum age of 14 Ma; this change records when the Pamir indenter had propagated sufficiently far north that the North Pamir was now located proximal to the Aertashi region.
The Power of Place: Social Network Characteristics, Perceived Neighborhood Features, and Psychological Distress Among African Americans in the Historic Hill District in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Published: September 2016

AbstractAfrican American neighborhoods have been historically targeted for urban renewal projects, which impact social composition and resident's health. The Hill District in Pittsburgh, PA is such a neighborhood. This research sought to investigate the extent to which social networks and perceived neighborhood social cohesion and safety were associated with psychological distress among residents in an African American neighborhood undergoing urban renewal, before the implementation of major neighborhood changes. Findings revealed a modest, significant inverse association between social network size and psychological distress (β = −0.006, p < .01), even after controlling for age, employment, education, and income. Perceived neighborhood safety predicted decreased psychological distress (β = −1.438, p < .01), but not social cohesion, which is consistent with past research. Findings suggest that social networks protect against psychological distress, but neighborhood perceptions are also paramount.
An Easily Accessed Nickel Nanoparticle Catalyst for Alkene Hydrosilylation with Tertiary Silanes
Authors: Buslov Ivan , Song Fang , Hu Xile 
Published: September 2016

AbstractThe first efficient and non‐precious nanoparticle catalyst for alkene hydrosilylation with commercially relevant tertiary silanes has been developed. The nickel nanoparticle catalyst was prepared in situ from a simple nickel alkoxide precatalyst Ni(OtBu)2⋅x KCl. The catalyst exhibits high activity for anti‐Markovnikov hydrosilylation of unactivated terminal alkenes and isomerizing hydrosilylation of internal alkenes. The catalyst can be applied to synthesize a single terminal alkyl silane from a mixture of internal and terminal alkene isomers, and to remotely functionalize an internal alkene derived from a fatty acid.
Fusing Porphyrins and Phospholes: Synthesis and Analysis of a Phosphorus‐Containing Porphyrin

Published: September 2016

AbstractA phosphole‐fused porphyrin dimer, as a representative of a new class of porphyrins with a phosphorus atom, was synthesized for the first time. The porphyrin dimer exhibits remarkably broadened absorption, indicating effective π‐conjugation over the two porphyrins through the phosphole moiety. The porphyrin dimer possesses excellent electron‐accepting character, which is comparable to that of a representative electron‐accepting material, [60]PCBM. These results provide access to a new class of phosphorus‐containing porphyrins with unique optoelectronic properties.
DNA binding behaviour of mixed ligand vanadium(V) complex based on novel tridentate hydrazone and benzhydroxamic acid ligand systems
Authors: Inamdar Poonam , Angappan Sheela 
Published: September 2016

Novel tridentate ONO hydrazone ligand (HL) and the corresponding vanadium(V) complex, [VO(HL)(Benz)], based on the ligand and benzhydroxamic acid, were synthesized and characterized using UV–visible, Fourier transform infrared, NMR and mass spectral studies. In order to assess the binding efficacy of the synthesized complex with DNA, UV absorption spectral titrations, fluorescence displacement assays using ethidium bromide and acridine orange dyes, circular dichroism, viscosity and molecular docking studies were carried out. Based on the results obtained, it is evident that the complex shows significant intercalating ability almost comparable to that of the standard intercalator drug cisplatin. The binding affinity values for the [VO(HL)(Benz)] complex and cisplatin were found to be (3.84 ± 0.08) × 104 M−1 and (4.27 ± 0.012) × 104 M−1. In addition, the cytotoxicity of [VO(HL)(Benz)] was also assessed by MTT assay against the MCF‐7 cell line.
Silver ferrite–graphene nanocomposite and its good photocatalytic performance in air and visible light for organic dye removal
Authors: Hosseini Seyed Majid , Hosseini‐Monfared Hassan , Abbasi Vahideh 
Published: September 2016

Silver ferrite–graphene (AgFeO2‐G) as a nanocomposite photocatalyst shows potent visible‐light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of organic contaminants, and generates the strong oxidants hydroxyl radical (•OH) and superoxide anion radical (O2•−) via photoelectrochemical decomposition of H2O and O2 in the presence of air and visible light irradiation. The photogenerated electrons of AgFeO2 can transfer easily from the conduction band to the reduced graphene oxide, efficiently preventing the direct recombination of electrons and holes. As a matter of fact, AgFeO2 has a low bandgap. Furthermore, AgFeO2 nanoparticles themselves have a magnetic property, which makes them magnetically separable. The experimental results show that the graphene nanosheets in the nanocomposite catalyst are exfoliated and decorated homogeneously with AgFeO2 nanoparticles. The photodegradation occurs in a short time (ca 40 min). Also, the photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite does not show any clear loss after ten recycles of the degradation process.
The Use of Stereology Method to Estimate the Volume of Feto‐Maternal Exchange Area of the Bovine Placentome during Gestation
Authors: Adeyinka Folusho D. , Laven Richard A. , de Nicolo Gina , Lawrence Kevin E. , Parkinson Timothy J. 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACTThe functional surface areas of the feto‐maternal unit of the bovine placentomes were quantified from Day 100 to 260 of gestation by using stereology. This study was achieved using intact placentomes obtained from an abattoir. There was no change in volume and surface densities of binucleate cells, fetal trophoblast, fetal and maternal tissues, and maternal epithelium with gestation age, although the total volume of these components increased with gestation age from Day 126 to 260. The total surface area of the feto‐maternal interface increased in a similar pattern as the placentomal components without a change in the fetal to maternal tissue ratio when estimated with stereology. This is one of the recent studies in cattle to quantify and describe the functional surface area of intact placentomes at different stages of gestation and it emphasised the differences between the yak and cattle placentomal development.

Expeditious Assembly of Fluorenones through Domino Reactions of Benzoyl Chlorides with Arylboronic Acids Catalyzed by ONO Pincer‐like Palladium(II) Complexes
Authors: Vignesh Arumugam , Kaminsky Werner , Dharmaraj Nallasamy 
Published: September 2016

AbstractA new set of palladium(II) complexes featuring ONO pincer‐type ligands were synthesized and utilized as efficient homogeneous catalysts for the domino reactions of benzoyl chlorides with arylboronic acids to yield a library of fluorenones. The titled reaction proceeded smoothly in H2O/MeOH media at a low catalyst loading (0.1 mol %) under mild reaction conditions in an open flask, and the catalyst could be reused over six consecutive runs. To validate the currently developed methodology for industrial‐level applications, a gram‐scale synthesis was done. Advantageously, the present protocol does not require any external oxidant, additives, or phase‐transfer agents.

Published: September 2016

AbstractAlthough perovskite solar cells (PSCs) surpassing 20 % in certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) have been demonstrated with organic hole‐transporting layers (HTLs), thermal degradation remains one of the key issues for practical applications. We fabricated PSCs using low temperature solution‐processed CuSCN as the inorganic hole‐transport layer (HTL), which possesses a highly stable crystalline structure and is robust even at high temperatures. The best‐performing cell delivers a PCE of 18.0 %, with 15.9 % measured at the stabilized power output. Here we report the thermal stability of PSCs based on CuSCN in comparison with commonly used 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis‐(N,N‐di‐4‐methoxyphenylamino)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (spiro‐OMeTAD). The PSC fabricated with organic spiro‐OMeTAD degrades to 25 % of initial PCE after annealing for 2 h at 125 °C in air under 40 % average relative humidity. However, CuSCN‐based PSCs maintain approximately 60 % of the initial value, exhibiting superior thermal stability under identical conditions. This work demonstrates that high efficiency and improved thermal stability are simultaneously achieved when CuSCN is used as an HTL in PSCs.

Published: September 2016

ABSTRACTPrevious studies have identified many genetic loci for refractive error and myopia. We aimed to investigate the effect of these loci on ocular biometry as a function of age in children, adolescents, and adults. The study population consisted of three age groups identified from the international CREAM consortium: 5,490 individuals aged <10 years; 5,000 aged 10–25 years; and 16,274 aged >25 years. All participants had undergone standard ophthalmic examination including measurements of axial length (AL) and corneal radius (CR). We examined the lead SNP at all 39 currently known genetic loci for refractive error identified from genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), as well as a combined genetic risk score (GRS). The beta coefficient for association between SNP genotype or GRS versus AL/CR was compared across the three age groups, adjusting for age, sex, and principal components. Analyses were Bonferroni‐corrected. In the age group <10 years, three loci (GJD2, CHRNG, ZIC2) were associated with AL/CR. In the age group 10–25 years, four loci (BMP2, KCNQ5, A2BP1, CACNA1D) were associated; and in adults 20 loci were associated. Association with GRS increased with age; β = 0.0016 per risk allele (P = 2 × 10–8) in <10 years, 0.0033 (P = 5 × 10–15) in 10‐ to 25‐year‐olds, and 0.0048 (P = 1 × 10–72) in adults. Genes with strongest effects (LAMA2, GJD2) had an early effect that increased with age. Our results provide insights on the age span during which myopia genes exert their effect. These insights form the basis for understanding the mechanisms underlying high and pathological myopia.
Exploring the contributions of the supplementary eye field to subliminal inhibition using double‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation
Authors: Chiau Hui‐Yan , Muggleton Neil G. , Juan Chi‐Hung 
Published: September 2016

AbstractIt is widely accepted that the supplementary eye fields (SEF) are involved in the control of voluntary eye movements. However, recent evidence suggests that SEF may also be important for unconscious and involuntary motor processes. Indeed, Sumner et al. ([2007]: Neuron 54:697–711) showed that patients with micro‐lesions of the SEF demonstrated an absence of subliminal inhibition as evoked by masked‐prime stimuli. Here, we used double‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in healthy volunteers to investigate the role of SEF in subliminal priming. We applied double‐pulse TMS at two time windows in a masked‐prime task: the first during an early phase, 20–70 ms after the onset of the mask but before target presentation, during which subliminal inhibition is present; and the second during a late phase, 20–70 ms after target onset, during which the saccade is being prepared. We found no effect of TMS with the early time window of stimulation, whereas a reduction in the benefit of an incompatible subliminal prime stimulus was found when SEF TMS was applied at the late time window. These findings suggest that there is a role for SEF related to the effects of subliminal primes on eye movements, but the results do not support a role in inhibiting the primed tendency.
