ABSTRACT
We provide CoRoT and Spitzer light curves and other supporting data for 17 classical T Tauri stars in NGC 2264 whose CoRoT light curves exemplify the “stochastic” light curve class as defined in 2014 by Cody et al. The most probable physical mechanism to explain the optical variability within this light curve class is time-dependent mass accretion onto the stellar photosphere, producing transient hot spots. Where we have appropriate spectral data, we show that the veiling variability in these stars is consistent in both amplitude and timescale with the optical light curve morphology. The veiling variability is also well-correlated with the strength of the He i 6678 Å emission line, predicted by models to arise in accretion shocks on or near the stellar photosphere. Stars with accretion burst light curve morphology also have variable mass accretion. The stochastic and accretion burst light curves can both be explained by a simple model of randomly occurring flux bursts, with the stochastic light curve class having a higher frequency of lower amplitude events. Members of the stochastic light curve class have only moderate mass accretion rates. Their Hα profiles usually have blueshifted absorption features, probably originating in a disk wind. The lack of periodic signatures in the light curves suggests that little of the variability is due to long-lived hot spots rotating into or out of our line of sight; instead, the primary driver of the observed photometric variability is likely to be instabilities in the inner disk that lead to variable mass accretion.
Seroepidemiology of Asymptomatic Dengue Virus Infection in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Published: February 2016

Background Although virologically confirmed dengue fever has been recognized in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, since 1994, causing yearly outbreaks, no proper seroepidemiologic studies on dengue virus have been conducted in this region. Such studies can define the extent of infection by this virus and estimate the proportion that may result in disease. The aim of this study was to measure the seroprevalence of past dengue virus infection in healthy Saudi nationals from different areas in the city of Jeddah and to investigate demographic and environmental factors that may increase exposure to infection. Methods Sera were collected from 1984 Saudi subjects attending primary health care centers in six districts of Jeddah. These included general patients of various ages seeking routine vaccinations, antenatal care or treatment of different illnesses excluding fever or suspected dengue. A number of blood donors were also tested. Serum samples were tested by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for IgG antibodies to dengue viruses 1, 2, 3, 4. A questionnaire was completed for each patient recording various anthropometric data and factors that may indicate possible risk of exposure to mosquito bites and dengue infection. Patients with missing data and those who reported a history of dengue fever were excluded from analysis, resulting in a sample of 1939 patients to be analyzed. Results The overall prevalence of dengue virus infection as measured by anti-dengue IgG antibodies from asymptomatic residents in Jeddah was 47.8% (927/1939) and 37% (68/184) in blood donors. Infection mostly did not result in recognizable disease, as only 19 of 1956 subjects with complete information (0.1%) reported having dengue fever in the past. Anti dengue seropositivity increased with age and was higher in males than females and in residents of communal housing and multistory buildings than in villas. One of the six districts showed significant increase in exposure rate as compared to the others. Availability of public sewage was associated with lower infection at a nearly significant level. No other clear risk factors were identifiable. Infection was not related to travel abroad. Conclusions Our results indicate a relatively high exposure of Jeddah residents to infection by dengue viruses, which must be considered endemic to this region. Infection largely remained asymptomatic or was only associated with minor illness for which patients did not seek treatment. These results call for continued vigilance for clinical cases of dengue that may arise from this wide exposure. They also call for more extensive control efforts to reduce exposure to and transmission of dengue viruses.
The Hellenic Seismological Network of Crete (HSNC): validation and results of the 2013 aftershock sequences

Published: February 2016

Abstract. The last century, the global urbanization has leaded the majority of population to move into big, metropolitan areas. Small areas on the Earth's surface are being built with tall buildings in areas close to seismogenic zones. Such an area of great importance is the Hellenic arc in Greece. Among the regions with high seismicity is Crete, located on the subduction zone of the Eastern Mediterranean plate underneath the Aegean plate. The Hellenic Seismological Network of Crete (HSNC) has been built to cover the need on continuous monitoring of the regional seismicity in the vicinity of the South Aegean Sea and Crete Island. In the present work, with the use of Z-map software the spatial variability of Magnitude of Completeness (Mc) is calculated from HSNC's manual analysis catalogue of events from the beginning of 2008 till the end of September 2015, supporting the good coverage of HSNC in the area surrounding Crete Island. Furthermore, we discuss the 2013 seismicity when two large earthquakes occurred in the vicinity of Crete Island. The two main shocks and their aftershock sequences have been relocated with the use of HYPOINVERSE earthquake location software. Finally, the quality of seismological stations is addressed using the standard PQLX software.

ABSTRACT: «Sacred Emblematics on Baroque Sepulchres» is a study of urns and reliquaries for Catalan saints. The symbolic language is applied to the funeral container of sacred content, in the specific cases of St. Olegario, St. Armengol, St. Bernard Calbó and St. Mary of Cervelló. With them we can refer to three different ways of presenting the sacred iconography in relation to local saints with incorrupt bodies: by means of emblematic literature, hagiography or decorative or heraldic motifs. KEYWORDS: Sepulchre, Reliquary, Incorrupt Saints, Catalonia, Baroque, Iconography. RESUMEN: «Emblemática santa en sepulcros barrocos» es un estudio sobre urnas y relicarios de santos catalanes. El lenguaje simbólico se aplica al continente funerario de un contenido sacro, en los casos específicos de san Olegario, san Armengol, san Bernardo Calbó y santa María de Cervelló. Con ellos podemos hacer referencia a tres formas diversas de presentar la iconografía santa con relación a los santos locales incorruptos a través de la decoración de estas urnas-relicarios: la literatura emblemática, las hagiografías o los motivos ornamentales y heráldicos. PALABRAS CLAVES: sepulcro, urna-relicario, santos incorruptos, Cataluña, Barroco, iconografía.
On the Origins of Spanish Hieroglyphs: Part Two
Authors: Leal Pedro Germano 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT: In this two-part article the Spanish reception of hieroglyphs, and their outcomes, are presented as an important aspect of the process of transmission of hieroglyphs in Early-Modern Europe. This change of perspective is important because it gives a general context for the phenomenon in Spain, clarifies its ties with the rest of the continent though the process of the diffusion of ideas and –perhaps more relevantly– highlights the distinctive characteristics that hieroglyphs achieved in Spain as a reflection of their adaptation to a different mentality, culminating in the creation of what the author regards as «classic Spanish hieroglyphs». KEYWORDS: Hieroglyph, Emblem, Diffusion, Genre. RESUMEN: En este trabajo, dividido en dos partes, la recepción española de los jeroglíficos y sus desenlaces se presentan como un aspecto importante del proceso de transmisión de los jeroglíficos en Europa. Este cambio de perspectiva es importante porque da un marco general para el fenómeno en España, aclara sus vínculos con el resto del continente a través del proceso de difusión de ideas y –quizás lo más relevante– pone de relieve las características distintivas que jeroglíficos lograron en España como un reflejo de su adaptación a una mentalidad diferente, que culminó con la creación de lo que el autor se refiere como «jeroglíficos clásicos españoles».

Emblemas portátiles: el empleo de divisas metálicas como adorno de sombrero y vestimenta, y su función en el origen del género emblemático
Authors: García Arranz José Julio 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT: The medieval custom of wearing figurative insignias on hats and caps became widespread during the 14th century when the uses and functions of these elements diversified and personal devises or badges became fashionable. As such, at the end of the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the 16th century, these portable “emblems” became commonly used objects, with their application on clothing becoming more and more frequent. In the present work, we will address the existing reciprocal relationship between printed emblem collections and appliqués for hats and clothing, in the sense that both creations date back decades to the definitive decline of metallic insignias. KEYWORDS: Medieval insígnia, emblem, badge, devise, enseigne, emblem prototypes RESUMEN: La costumbre medieval de portar insignias figuradas en sombreros y gorras se generaliza durante el s. XIV, momento en que los usos y funciones de estos elementos se diversifican, y se incorporan a la moda de las devises o badges personales. De este modo, a fines de la Edad Media e inicios del quinientos, estos «emblemas» portátiles devienen objeto de uso común, siendo cada vez más frecuente su aplicación a la indumentaria del momento. En el presente trabajo nos aproximaremos a la recíproca relación existente entre las colecciones de emblemas impresos y los apliques parlantes de sombreros y vestimentas, en el sentido de que ambas creaciones se retroalimentaron durante algunas décadas, hasta el declive definitivo de las insignias metálicas. PALABRAS CLAVES: Insignia medieval, badge, devise, enseigne, emblema, protoemblemática.
Emblemática, mnemotecnia y el arte de narrar: El episodio de Everardo en El peregrino en su patria de Lope de Vega
Authors: Mesa Higuera Claudia 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT: This essay examines an aspect of Lope de Vega’s iconographic program in The Pilgrim, or Stranger in His Own Country by focusing on the interpolated tale of Everardo, a Christian knight who has been confined to a prison cell that is painted with «hieroglyphs and verses». The episode combines rhetorical and dialectical aspects of memory and establishes a connection between artificial memory systems, emblems, secular meditational practices, and story telling. I propose that Everardo’s tale displays a mnemonic intentionality that connects it with artificial systems of memory developed in classical antiquity and later used as prototypes during the early modern period. The episode not only emphasizes the importance of images as a stimulus for memory but also generates a sequential dual narrative in which the mental processes associated with rhetorical and dialectical memory coincide around specific images. KEYWORDS: Mnemotechnics, Art of Narration, Everardo, El Peregrino en Patria, Lope de Vega. RESUMEN: Este ensayo examina un aspecto del programa iconográfico del Peregrino en su patria de Lope de Vega al enfocarse en el relato intercalado de Everardo, un caballero preso en una celda cuyas paredes se encuentran dibujadas con «hieroglíficas y versos». El episodio combina aspectos retóricos y dialécticos de la memoria y propicia la conexión entre sistemas de memoria artificial, emblemas, prácticas meditativas de corte secular y estrategias narrativas. Propongo que el relato de Everardo puede entenderse a la luz de cierta intencionalidad mnemónica, que lo vincula con los sistemas de memoria artificial desarrollados en la antigüedad clásica y posteriormente usados como prototipos durante la temprana modernidad. Este episodio no sólo destaca la importancia de la imagen como estímulo para la memoria sino que también genera una narración secuencial a dos voces donde los procesos mentales asociados con la memoria retórica y la dialéctica encuentran resolución. PALABRAS CLAVES: mnemotecnia, arte de narrar, Everardo, El Peregrino en Patria, Lope de Vega.
Employees’ Vocational Training and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):beyond “Primary Responsibilities”
Authors: Lê Thi Thu Thao , De Nanteuil Matthieu 
Published: February 2016

AbstractThis article aims at looking at ethical issues in vocational training. It widely explores the specific role of vocational training among the set of “responsibilities” that a company could have, not only towards it stakeholders, but also towards its own workforce. Underlying the multiple unfair sources of employees’ vocational training- the unequal access to training is one of them - we try to examine the possible combinations between CSR and this human resource practice. Through a critical outlook on CSR, we analyze different levels of CSR and insist on “ethical responsibilities” – a form of responsibility that aims at recognizing the employees as ethical subjects.
Azimuthal diffusion of the large-scale-circulation plane, and absence of significant non-Boussinesq effects, in turbulent convection near the ultimate-state transition
Authors: He Xiaozhou , Bodenschatz Eberhard , Ahlers Guenter 
Published: February 2016

We present measurements of the orientation ${\it\theta}_{0}$ and temperature amplitude ${\it\delta}$ of the large-scale circulation in a cylindrical sample of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection (RBC) with aspect ratio ${\it\Gamma}\equiv D/L=1.00$ ($D$ and $L$ are the diameter and height respectively) and for the Prandtl number $Pr\simeq 0.8$. The results for ${\it\theta}_{0}$ revealed a preferred orientation with up-flow in the west, consistent with a broken azimuthal invariance due to the Earth’s Coriolis force (see Brown & Ahlers (Phys. Fluids, vol. 18, 2006, 125108)). They yielded the azimuthal diffusivity $D_{{\it\theta}}$ and a corresponding Reynolds number $Re_{{\it\theta}}$ for Rayleigh numbers over the range $2\times 10^{12}\lesssim Ra\lesssim 1.5\times 10^{14}$. In the classical state ($Ra\lesssim 2\times 10^{13}$) the results were consistent with the measurements by Brown & Ahlers (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 568, 2006, pp. 351–386) for $Ra\lesssim 10^{11}$ and $Pr=4.38$, which gave $Re_{{\it\theta}}\propto Ra^{0.28}$, and with the Prandtl-number dependence $Re_{{\it\theta}}\propto Pr^{-1.2}$ as found previously also for the velocity-fluctuation Reynolds number $Re_{V}$ (He et al., New J. Phys., vol. 17, 2015, 063028). At larger $Ra$ the data for $Re_{{\it\theta}}(Ra)$ revealed a transition to a new state, known as the ‘ultimate’ state, which was first seen in the Nusselt number $Nu(Ra)$ and in $Re_{V}(Ra)$ at $Ra_{1}^{\ast }\simeq 2\times 10^{13}$ and $Ra_{2}^{\ast }\simeq 8\times 10^{13}$. In the ultimate state we found $Re_{{\it\theta}}\propto Ra^{0.40\pm 0.03}$. Recently, Skrbek & Urban (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 785, 2015, pp. 270–282) claimed that non-Oberbeck–Boussinesq effects on the Nusselt and Reynolds numbers of turbulent RBC may have been interpreted erroneously as a transition to a new state. We demonstrate that their reasoning is incorrect and that the transition observed in the Göttingen experiments and discussed in the present paper is indeed to a new state of RBC referred to as ‘ultimate’.
Neuropeptidase activities in plasma after acute restraint stress. Interaction with cortico-limbic areas
Authors: Segarra Ana Belén , Hernández Joaquín , Prieto Isabel , de Gasparo Marc , Ramírez-Sánchez Manuel 
Published: February 2016

ObjectiveTo evaluate the influence of acute restraint stress (ARS) on plasma enkephalinase and oxytocinase activities. ARS modifies basal activities in cortico-limbic regions of rats and induces changes in the correlations observed between these regions. The interactions between plasma and cortico-limbic activities will be also evaluated.MethodsEnkephalinase (AlaAP and LeuAP) and oxytocinase (P-LeuAP) activities were fluorometrically determined in plasma of control and stressed rats using aminoacyl-β-naphthylamides (aaNNap), AlaNNap and LeuNNap as substrates.ResultsNo differences in enzymatic activities were observed between control and stressed animals in plasma. In contrast, highly significant positive and negative correlations between plasma and cortico-limbic regions were demonstrated in controls. Stress conditions significantly alter the pattern of these correlations.ConclusionThe present results clearly support a connection between plasma and brain involving certain neuropeptidase activities that change under stress conditions.
Punishment: Civil Style — A Comment
Authors: Goldstein Stephen 
Published: February 2016

I am honoured and pleased to comment on the paper on “Punishment Civil Style” by my good friend Marc Galanter, with whose basic thesis I am in complete agreement. I would take as my starting point and, indeed, emphasize, Galanter's definition of punishment as the “imposition of a harm, injury, deprivation or other bad thing on someone on the ground of some commission of some offence. The infliction of harm on the offender may be viewed as a goal (or a proximate to a goal of justice) or it may be viewed instrumentally as a mean to social betterment through rehabilitation, incapacitation, deterrence, reassurance, and so forth”.Galanter well points out that, as such, punishment is not limited to the criminal justice system, but is employed also in other societal systems, including that of civil justice.Yet, I fear that he may mislead us in focusing in his paper so heavily on punitive damages, which he maintains “are the most visible and clearly legitimated manifestation” of the principle of “civil punishment”.

Published: February 2016

AbstractObjective:This study aimed to develop a functional model of subglottic stenosis by inducing direct airway irritation in transplanted mouse laryngotracheal complexes.Methods:Laryngotracheal complexes from C57BL/6 mice were harvested and divided into three groups: uninjured, mechanically injured and chemically injured. Donor laryngotracheal complexes from each group were placed in dorsal subcutaneous pockets of recipient mice. Each week, the transplanted laryngotracheal complexes were harvested, and tissues were fixed, sectioned, and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Representative slides were reviewed by a blinded pathologist, to determine the formation of granulation tissue, and graded as to the degree of granulation formation.Results:Direct airway irritation induced granulation tissue formation under the disrupted epithelium of airway mucosa; this was seen as early as two weeks after chemical injury.Conclusion:Results indicate that granulation tissue formation in a murine model may be an efficient tool for investigating the development and treatment of subglottic stenosis.
LA SEDA CHINA EN NUEVA ESPAÑA A PRINCIPIOS DEL SIGLO XVII. UNA MIRADA IMPERIAL EN ELMEMORIALDE HORACIO LEVANTO
Authors: Bonialian Mariano 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACTThis article analyzes the effects generated by the import and consumption of madeja silk from China in the commercial and productive level of Mexico and Spain between 1580 and 1620. The paper questions the traditional image of an Asian trade defined by expensive, manufactured goods, oriented to an elite consumption. Considering the Memorial of Horacio Levanto (1620) and in the context of modern globalization, we propose the hypothesis that Asian trade responded to mass consumption, influencing productive structures in New Spain and Spain herself. Madeja silk from China was one of the main semi-processed goods imported via Acapulco which, as raw material, promoted the development of the Novohispanic textile industry.
Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery in Childhood: Rationale for Greater Use
Authors: Blume Warren T. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT:Anterior temporal resection may effectively relieve therapy-resistant seizures in children and give social, psychological and economic benefits. Epidemiological and prognostic data demonstrate that this is an under-utilised procedure: although an estimated 677 Ontario children per year would be candidates for anterior temporal resection, only 18 were performed in a 12 month period.
Somatosensory Evoked Potential Identification of Sensorimotor Cortex in Removal of Intracranial Neoplasms
Authors: Rowed David W. , Houlden David A. , Basavakumar Devsur G. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT:Objective:To assess the ease and reliability of routine use of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) for identification of sensorimotor cortex in brain tumour removal and to document its influence on the performance and outcome of surgery.Methods:SSEPs in response to contralateral median nerve stimulation were recorded from the cortical surface by means of a four lead electrode strip. Polarity reversal of short latency SSEP waves was used to identify the position of the central sulcus in 46 consecutive craniotomies for removal of metastases, gliomas, or meningiomas located in, near, or overlying sensorimotor cortex.Results:SSEPs were successfully recorded in 43/46 cases (94%) with demonstration of polarity reversal in 42/43 (98%). SSEP localization led to modification of 14/42 (33%) procedures, most frequently because of either displacement or involvement of sensorimotor cortex by tumour. Six patients (14%) developed new neurological deficits but none of these was attributable to incorrect identification of sensorimotor cortex.Conclusions:SSEP polarity reversal is a simple, reliable, accurate, and inexpensive method of localizing sensorimotor cortex under general anaesthesia. Correct identification is possible when sensorimotor cortex is displaced or when surface anatomy is obscured by tumour. Routine use of this technique should be considered in all procedures for lesions located near the central sulcus.
