Die Tätigkeit des Flämischen hohen Forstrates
Authors: Lust N. , Nachtergale L. , Serbruyns I. 
Published: July 2016

Die Aufgaben des Flämischen Hohen Forstrates werden hauptsächlich durch das Forstgesetz bestimmt, teilweise auch durch das Naturschutzgesetz. Er soll nicht nur den Minister und die Forstverwaltung in der Forstpolitik beraten, sondern sich auch mit der Behandlung des Waldes in verwandten Politikbereichen beschäftigen. Die Hälfte der Mitglieder müssen Waldbesitzer oder Vertreter von Waldbesitzern sein. Der Rat formuliert eine Vielzahl von Stellungnahmen. In den Jahren 1997, 1998 und 1999 standen die folgenden Themen im Vordergrund: das flämische Forstgesetz, Kriterien für nachhaltige Waldwirtschaft in Flandern, die langfristige Forstwirtschaftsplanung und der Aktionsplan Forstwirtschaft, das Naturschutzgesetz, die Raumordnung, das Verhältnis zwischen Naturschutz und Waldsektor, Bewirtschaftung von Privatwäldern, Waldgruppierungen (Zusammenschlüsse von Waldbesitzern), Erbschaftssteuer für Waldflächen und die künftige Waldpolitik. Eine Evaluation des Rates ergab eine Reihe von Stärken und Schwächen. Die Sitzungen des Rates finden sehr häufig statt. Er hat eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit für Berührungspunkte mit verwandten Sektoren und Angelegenheiten. Trotz einer gewissen Dominanz der Privatwaldbesitzer sind die Stellungnahmen ziemlich ausgeglichen. Ein besonders positiver Punkt ist, dass er im hohen Mass zur Mitwirkung der Basis beigetragen hat. Die Kapazität innerhalb des Rates ist jedoch nicht immer ausreichend. Es zeigt sich, dass der Minister und die Forstverwaltung die Stellungnahmen des Rates nicht sehr hoch scnätzen. Der direkte Einfluss des Rates auf die Forstpolitik und auf die Politik von verwandten Sektoren ist eher beschränkt.
Az agrárpolitika hatása a föld árára
Authors: Bakucs Lajos Zoltán , Fertő Imre 
Published: July 2016

A cikk az agrárpolitika a földárakra gyakorolt hatásával foglalkozik. Az empirikus tanulmányok és a közgazdasági modellek legfőbb eredménye, hogy az agrárpolitikai támogatások tőkésednek a földárakban,azonban ennek terjedelme meglehetősen széles intervallumban mozog. A mennyiségi szabályozással kombinált agrárpolitikai eszközök hatása a földárakra azonban kevésbé egyértelmű. A számítások aztmutatják, hogy föld árrugalmatlan, noha korántsem annyira, mint azt az elméleti modellek feltételezik. Az empirikus tanulmányok rávilágítottak arra, hogy a különböző agrárpolitikai programok hatásátkülön-külön kell becsülni, mert egyébként torzított eredményeket kaphatunk. A hedonikus regressziókon alapuló számítások azt sugallják, hogy a föld és a hozzá kapcsolódó változók térbeli sajátosságai szinténbefolyásolják a kormányzati programok hatását.

REDUCED ACTIVITY AND LARGE PARTICLES FROM THE DISINTEGRATING PLANET CANDIDATE KIC 12557548b
Authors: Schlawin E. , Herter T. , Zhao M. , Teske J. K. , Chen H. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
The intriguing exoplanet candidate KIC 12557548b is believed to have a comet-like tail of dusty debris trailing a small rocky planet. The tail of debris scatters up to 1.3% of the stellar light in the Kepler observatory’s bandpass (0.42–0.9 μm). Observing the tail’s transit depth at multiple wavelengths can reveal the composition and particle size of the debris, constraining the makeup and lifetime of the sub-Mercury planet. Early dust particle size predictions from the scattering of the comet-like tail pointed toward a dust size of ∼0.1 μm for silicate compositions. These small particles would produce a much deeper optical transit depth than near-infrared transit depth. We measure a transmission spectrum for KIC 12557548b using the SpeX spectrograph (covering 0.8–2.4 μm) simultaneously with the MORIS imager taking r′ (0.63 μm) photometry on the Infrared Telescope Facility for eight nights and one night in H band (1.63 μm) using the Wide-field IR Camera at the Palomar 200 inch telescope. The infrared spectra are plagued by systematic errors, but we argue that sufficient precision is obtained when using differential spectroscopic calibration when combining multiple nights. The average differential transmission spectrum is flat, supporting findings that KIC 12557548b’s debris is likely composed of larger particles ≳0.5 μm for pyroxene and olivine and ≳0.2 μm for iron and corundum. The r′ photometric transit depths are all below the average Kepler value, suggesting that the observations occurred during a weak period or that the mechanisms producing optical broadband transit depths are suppressed.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
We determine abundances or upper limits for all of the 55 stable elements from copper to uranium for the A1 Vm star Sirius. The purpose of the study is to assemble the most complete picture of elemental abundances with the hope of revealing the chemical history of the brightest star in the sky, apart from the Sun. We also explore the relationship of this hot metallic-line (Am) star to its cooler congeners, as well as the hotter, weakly- or non-magnetic Mercury-manganese (HgMn) stars. Our primary observational material consists of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) spectra taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph in the ASTRAL project. We have also used archival material from the COPERNICUS satellite, and from the HST Goddard High-Resolution Spectrograph, as well as ground-based spectra from Furenlid, Westin, Kurucz, Wahlgren, and their coworkers, ESO spectra from the UVESPOP project, and NARVAL spectra retrieved from PolarBase. Our analysis has been primarily by spectral synthesis, and in this work we have had the great advantage of extensive atomic data unavailable to earlier workers. We find most abundances as well as upper limits range from 10 to 100 times above solar values. We see no indication of the huge abundance excesses of 1000 or more that occur among many chemically peculiar stars of the upper main sequence. The picture of Sirius as a hot Am star is reinforced.
DAMPING OF MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC TURBULENCE IN PARTIALLY IONIZED PLASMA: IMPLICATIONS FOR COSMIC RAY PROPAGATION
Authors: Xu Siyao , Yan Huirong , Lazarian A. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
We study the damping processes of both incompressible and compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in a partially ionized medium. We start from the linear analysis of MHD waves, applying both single-fluid and two-fluid treatments. The damping rates derived from the linear analysis are then used in determining the damping scales of MHD turbulence. The physical connection between the damping scale of MHD turbulence and the cutoff boundary of linear MHD waves is investigated. We find two branches of slow modes propagating in ions and neutrals, respectively, below the damping scale of slow MHD turbulence, and offer a thorough discussion of their propagation and dissipation behavior. Our analytical results are shown to be applicable in a variety of partially ionized interstellar medium (ISM) phases and the solar chromosphere. The importance of neutral viscosity in damping the Alfvenic turbulence in the interstellar warm neutral medium and the solar chromosphere is demonstrated. As a significant astrophysical utility, we introduce damping effects to the propagation of cosmic rays in partially ionized ISM. The important role of turbulence damping in both transit-time damping and gyroresonance is identified.

Background Gender-specific data on the management of HIV infection are scarce. Further, an increase in the proportion of new HIV diagnoses in older persons has been observed. Using data from the CoRIS cohort, we compared immunovirological responses and survival in HIV-infected men and women who started their first combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) when aged </≥50 years. Methods We used multivariable logistic, linear and Cox regression, adjusting for potential confounders and including an interaction between age and sex, to assess differences in immunovirological responses and mortality, respectively. Results At 96 weeks, among subjects <50 years, women were less likely than men to achieve virological response (VR; adjusted OR [aOR] 0.77, 95% CI 0.60, 0.99) and among women, older individuals were more likely to achieve VR than the younger ones (aOR 1.96; 95% CI 1.15, 3.34). Initiating cART at ≥50 years was associated with lower increases in CD4+ T-cell count both in men (-65.8; 95% CI -91.3, -40.3) and women (-37.7; 95% CI -79.7, 4.4) and women showed higher increases than men in both subjects aged <50 (21.8; 95% CI -1.9, 45.5) and ≥50 years at cART initiation (49.9; 95% CI 19.9, 79.9). A higher risk of death in men ≥50 was observed (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.69; 95% CI 1.73, 4.21), but not in women (aHR 1.49; 95% CI 0.70, 1.14). Women experienced lower mortality than men <50 (0.66; 95% CI 0.41, 1.07) and in those ≥50 (0.37; 95% CI 0.14, 0.93). Conclusions Sex and age at cART initiation have a noticeable association with both virological and immunological responses and mortality. Age ≥50 is associated with poorer immunological response and higher mortality but this effect is less pronounced in women than in men.
Autonomie, responsabilité et coopération : ce qu’en disent les élèves utilisant un plan de travail
Authors: Connac Sylvain 
Published: July 2016

L’outil d’enseignement « plan de travail », introduit par Helen Parkhurst au début du XXème siècle, est un document sur lequel chaque élève trouve des activités d’apprentissage à sa portée. Il permet à l’enseignant de prendre en compte la diversité de ses élèves. Si l’enseignant est sans cesse sollicité sur des problèmes très différents, il se sent très vite dépassé et a la tentation de revenir à une pédagogie traditionnelle, plus facile à gérer. Cette recherche s’est intéressée à l’opinion des élèves de cycle III d’école primaire qui pratiquent le plan de travail quotidiennement. Ils ont été interrogés via un questionnaire administré par leur enseignant. Plus de mille élèves français ont ainsi pu donner leur avis sur la nature de l’autonomie, la coopération entre pairs et les attitudes responsables que développe un plan de travail.
Histoire de l'exobiologie
Authors: Raulin-Cerceau Florence 
Published: July 2016

L’essor de l’exploration spatiale dans le système solaire ainsi que le développement des recherches dans le domaine de l’origine de la vie sur Terre ont fourni les bases de l’exobiologie. En quelques décennies, ce champ pluridisciplinaire s’est considérablement élargi et structuré autour d’une large communauté de chercheurs. Par ailleurs, les découvertes d’exoplanètes, en particulier les « exo-terres » susceptibles d’être habitables, ont ouvert à d’autres perspectives. Ces avancées sont en voie de concrétiser l’une des quêtes les plus exaltantes de l’humanité : la recherche d’une autre vie dans l’univers.

Endothelial Progenitor Cells as Prognostic Markers of Preterm Birth-Associated Complications
Authors: Bertagnolli Mariane , Nuyt Anne Monique , Thébaud Bernard , Luu Thuy Mai 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Preterm birth is associated with alteration of the vascular tree that can result in disease states such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurity during the neonatal period and emphysema and hypertension in adulthood. Studies have suggested a potential role for endothelial progenitor cells in the pathophysiology of prematurity-related complications involving blood vessels; however, this knowledge has never been synthesized. We conducted a systematic review of the published data to examine the characteristics of endothelial progenitor cells in relation to preterm birth in humans. Preterm infants compared with term controls displayed similar or increased circulating/cord blood endothelial progenitor cell counts. However, the preterm endothelial progenitor cells were more vulnerable to exogenous factors such as oxidative stress. A reduced number, in particular of endothelial colony-forming cells, was associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. No studies have examined endothelial progenitor cells beyond the neonatal period. These findings could prove useful in the identification of biomarkers for prognostication or therapeutic strategies for vascular-related diseases in preterm-born individuals.

L’heterolinguisme en scene: français et arabe(s) à l’oeuvre dans ‘Junun’ de Jalila Baccar
Authors: Lusetti Chiara 
Published: July 2016

Self-translators, multilingual writers who decide to translate one of their works, are a particularly stimulating case study in the research on heteroglossia. Every self-translation can actually be considered a hybrid heteroglossic work created by two texts in two different languages. This study examines the theatrical play Junun by the Tunisian playwright Jalila Baccar, written and played in Tunisian Arabic in 2001 and self-translated into French in 2003. At first, the functions of the different languages in the Arabic text have been analysed. These can stem from a realistic motivation (representing Tunisian reality), from a compositional motivation (constructing the literary work’s fictional world), or from an esthetic motivation (through intertextual references to other works). Subsequently, the translation strategies of the heteroglossia from the first text to the French version have been studied. Finally, this textual approach has been framed within the analysis of the relationship between context and the history of heteroglossia, in order to broaden the scope of potential extensions of this research.
Response function of super-resolution readout of an optical disc studied by coupled electromagnetic–thermal simulation

Published: July 2016

Abstract
To fully understand the properties of the readout signal in the super-resolution state, we implemented a multi-physics simulation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves and heat conduction in an optical disc that incorporates an InSb active layer. Response functions were obtained by calculating the light intensity reflected from a single small-pit structure. It was found that a typical response function in the super-resolution state has an asymmetric double-peak structure with high-spatial-frequency components. The complex profile of the response function indicated that the position of protrusions in the readout signal does not exactly correspond to that of the refractive index profile of the pit arrangement. We demonstrated that the measured readout signals also exhibit this particular characteristic and are roughly reproduced by the signals estimated from the response functions.
Observation of chorus waves by the Van Allen Probes: Dependence on solar wind parameters and scale size

Published: July 2016

AbstractHighly energetic electrons in the Earth's Van Allen radiation belts can cause serious damage to spacecraft electronic systems and affect the atmospheric composition if they precipitate into the upper atmosphere. Whistler mode chorus waves have attracted significant attention in recent decades for their crucial role in the acceleration and loss of energetic electrons that ultimately change the dynamics of the radiation belts. The distribution of these waves in the inner magnetosphere is commonly presented as a function of geomagnetic activity. However, geomagnetic indices are nonspecific parameters that are compiled from imperfectly covered ground based measurements. The present study uses wave data from the two Van Allen Probes to present the distribution of lower band chorus waves not only as functions of single geomagnetic index and solar wind parameters but also as functions of combined parameters. Also the current study takes advantage of the unique equatorial orbit of the Van Allen Probes to estimate the average scale size of chorus wave packets, during close separations between the two spacecraft, as a function of radial distance, magnetic latitude, and geomagnetic activity, respectively. Results show that the average scale size of chorus wave packets is approximately 1300–2300 km. The results also show that the inclusion of combined parameters can provide better representation of the chorus wave distributions in the inner magnetosphere and therefore can further improve our knowledge of the acceleration and loss of radiation belt electrons.
