ABSTRACT
We report the results of the statistical analysis of planetary signals discovered in MOA-II microlensing survey alert system events from 2007 to 2012. We determine the survey sensitivity as a function of planet–star mass ratio, q, and projected planet–star separation, s, in Einstein radius units. We find that the mass-ratio function is not a single power law, but has a change in slope at q ∼ 10−4, corresponding to ∼20 M
⊕ for the median host-star mass of ∼0.6

. We find significant planetary signals in 23 of the 1474 alert events that are well-characterized by the MOA-II survey data alone. Data from other groups are used only to characterize planetary signals that have been identified in the MOA data alone. The distribution of mass ratios and separations of the planets found in our sample are well fit by a broken power-law model of the form

for q > q
br and

for q < q
br, where q
br is the mass ratio of the break. We also combine this analysis with the previous analyses of Gould et al. and Cassan et al., bringing the total sample to 30 planets. This combined analysis yields

, n = −0.93 ± 0.13,

, and

for q
br ≡ 1.7 × 10−4. The unbroken power-law model is disfavored with a p-value of 0.0022, which corresponds to a Bayes factor of 27 favoring the broken power-law model. These results imply that cold Neptunes are likely to be the most common type of planets beyond the snow line.

ABSTRACT
We present a spectral analysis of the spectrum from the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (HST/COS) of the southern VY Scl nova-like variable BB Doradus, obtained as part of a Cycle 20 HST/COS survey of accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in cataclysmic variables. BB Dor was observed with COS during an intermediate state with a low mass accretion rate, thereby allowing an estimate of the WD temperature. The results of our spectral analysis show that the WD is a significant far-ultraviolet (FUV) component of the spectrum with a temperature of about 35,000–50,000 K, assuming a WD mass of

ZOMBIE VORTEX INSTABILITY. II. THRESHOLDS TO TRIGGER INSTABILITY AND THE PROPERTIES OF ZOMBIE TURBULENCE IN THE DEAD ZONES OF PROTOPLANETARY DISKS
Authors: Marcus Philip S. , Pei Suyang , Jiang Chung-Hsiang , Barranco Joseph A. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
In Zombie Vortex Instability (ZVI), perturbations excite critical layers in stratified, rotating shear flow (as in protoplanetary disks (PPDs)), causing them to generate vortex layers, which roll up into anticyclonic zombie vortices and cyclonic vortex sheets. The process is self-sustaining as zombie vortices perturb new critical layers, spawning a next generation of zombie vortices. Here, we focus on two issues: the minimum threshold of perturbations that trigger self-sustaining vortex generation, and the properties of the late-time zombie turbulence on large and small scales. The critical parameter that determines whether ZVI is triggered is the magnitude of the vorticity on the small scales (and not velocity); the minimum Rossby number needed for instability is

for

, where N is the Brunt–Väisälä frequency. While the threshold is set by vorticity, it is useful to infer a criterion on the Mach number; for Kolmogorov noise, the critical Mach number scales with Reynolds number:

. In PPDs, this is

. On large scales, zombie turbulence is characterized by anticyclones and cyclonic sheets with typical Rossby number ∼0.3. The spacing of the cyclonic sheets and anticyclones appears to have a “memory” of the spacing of the critical layers. On small scales, zombie turbulence has no memory of the initial conditions and has a Kolmogorov-like energy spectrum. While our earlier work was in the limit of uniform stratification, we have demonstrated that ZVI works for non-uniform Brunt–Väisälä frequency profiles that may be found in PPDs.
LIFETIME OF A COSMIC-RAY SPOT

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
We investigate the existence, angular sizes, and durations of ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray (UHECR) hotspots as observed at Earth after the UHECRs propagate through the Galactic magnetic field. We show that, during a period of observation of typically 5 years, cosmic-ray hotspots with rigidities

V from sources whose propagation distances are smaller than 10 kpc are steady, while those much further may change position in the observer’s sky due to motion of the Earth. (Note that the propagation distance—the total length of the trajectory connecting source to Earth—is always greater than the distance to the source.) However, this effect can be observed only if the spread in rigidity of the UHECRs is small enough; we show that for an energy bin width of 10%, typical of CR observatories, the effect of Earth motion over 5 years would be undetectable.
ROLE OF THE CORONAL ALFVÉN SPEED IN MODULATING THE SOLAR-WIND HELIUM ABUNDANCE
Authors: Wang Y.-M. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
The helium abundance He/H in the solar wind is relatively constant at ∼0.04 in high-speed streams, but varies in phase with the sunspot number in slow wind, from ∼0.01 at solar minimum to ∼0.04 at maximum. Suggested mechanisms for helium fractionation have included frictional coupling to protons and resonant interactions with high-frequency Alfvénic fluctuations. We compare He/H measurements during 1995–2015 with coronal parameters derived from source-surface extrapolations of photospheric field maps. We find that the near-Earth helium abundance is an increasing function of the magnetic field strength and Alfvén speed v
A in the outer corona, while being only weakly correlated with the proton flux density. Throughout the solar cycle, fast wind is associated with short-term increases in v
A near the source surface; resonance with Alfvén waves, with v
A and the relative speed of α-particles and protons decreasing with increasing heliocentric distance, may then lead to enhanced He/H at 1 au. The modulation of helium in slow wind reflects the tendency for the associated coronal Alfvén speeds to rise steeply from sunspot minimum, when this wind is concentrated around the source-surface neutral line, to sunspot maximum, when the source-surface field attains its peak strengths. The helium abundance near the source surface may represent a balance between collisional decoupling from protons and Alfvén wave acceleration.
Le lieu d’ enterrement de Priscillien
Authors: Piay Augusto Diego 
Published: December 2016

Depuis que Louis Duchesne avança l’idée que les restes de Priscillien pourraient reposer dans le sépulcre de l’apôtre Jacques, plusieurs spécialistes ont proposé de nombreux lieux qui auraient pu accueillir cette dépouille. Mais les solutions proposées au fil du temps manquaient de rigueur scientifique et, à plusieurs reprises, un site énigmatique daté du iv e siècle ou la présence d’un sépulcre datant de cette période ont été considérés comme des arguments suffisants pour voir dans ces endroits le lieu d’enterrement de Priscillien. Cependant, jusque-là, le problème n’a pas été abordé avec objectivité et les faibles références documentaires ainsi que le silence de l’archéologie ont semblé constituer d’insurmontables obstacles...
S'exprimer et se faire comprendre

Published: December 2016

La technique d’analyse des entretiens de recherche, menés auprès de personnes qui ont une déficience intellectuelle, pose inévitablement la question de la prise en compte des signes de la déficience dans l’analyse et l’interprétation des entretiens. Cette question est ici travaillée à partir des entretiens de recherche menés avec Jean, adulte rencontré dans un établissement et service d’aide par le travail ( esat ), et avec Jimmy, adolescent rencontré en institut médico-professionnel ( impro ). Les éléments principaux à prendre en compte sont : l’implication importante du chercheur à travers ses interventions et sa subjectivité ; la rythmicité du discours ; les temps d’accordage et de désaccordage ; la connaissance préalable de l’interviewé comme repère dans l’analyse littérale ; l’appui sur des outils tels que l’analyse thématique ou la mise en figuration du récit pour sortir d’un vécu d’impuissance du chercheur par rapport à une pauvreté apparente du contenu des entretiens.

Hérédité et atavisme criminel dans les romans d’Hector Malot
Authors: Kiriow Ivan 
Published: December 2016

Cet article étudie l’investissement littéraire du thème de l’hérédité dans plusieurs romans d’Hector Malot, en particulier sa représentation de la figure du criminel héréditaire ou « atavique », inspirée de la théorie du criminel-né développée par Cesare Lombroso. Nous verrons aussi comment la réception critique du roman Conscience (1888) et le dialogue entre les disciplines (critique littéraire, philosophie et théories biologiques de l’hérédité) a enrichi et transformé l’approche de cette thématique chez le romancier.
Clr-a: A Novel Immune-Related C-Type Lectin-like Molecule Exclusively Expressed by Mouse Gut Epithelium
Authors: Rutkowski Emilia , Leibelt Stefan , Born Christina , Friede Miriam E. , Bauer Stefan , Weil Sandra , Koch Joachim , Steinle Alexander 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The mouse gut epithelium represents a constitutively challenged environment keeping intestinal commensal microbiota at bay and defending against invading enteric pathogens. The complex immunoregulatory network of the epithelial barrier surveillance also involves NK gene complex (NKC)–encoded C-type lectin-like molecules such as NKG2D and Nkrp1 receptors. To our knowledge, in this study, we report the first characterization of the orphan C-type lectin-like molecule Clr-a encoded by the Clec2e gene in the mouse NKC. Screening of a panel of mouse tissues revealed that Clec2e transcripts are restricted to the gastrointestinal tract. Using Clr-a–specific mAb, we characterize Clr-a as a disulfide-linked homodimeric cell surface glycoprotein. Of note, a substantial fraction of Clr-a molecules are retained intracellularly, and analyses of Clr-a/Clr-f hybrids attribute intracellular retention to both the stalk region and parts of the cytoplasmic domain. Combining quantitative PCR analyses with immunofluorescence studies revealed exclusive expression of Clr-a by intestinal epithelial cells and crypt cells throughout the gut. Challenge with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid results in a rapid and strong downregulation of intestinal Clr-a expression in contrast to the upregulation of Clr-f, a close relative of Clr-a, that also is specifically expressed by the intestinal epithelium and acts as a ligand of the inhibitory Nkrp1g receptor. Collectively, we characterize expression of the mouse NKC-encoded glycoprotein Clr-a as strictly associated with mouse intestinal epithelium. Downregulation upon polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid challenge and expression by crypt cells clearly distinguish Clr-a from the likewise intestinal epithelium-restricted Clr-f, pointing to a nonredundant function of these highly related C-type lectin-like molecules in the context of intestinal immunosurveillance.
The Weakly Nilpotent Graph of a Commutative Ring
Authors: Khojasteh Soheila , Javad Nikmehr Mohammad 
Published: December 2016

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. In this paper, we introduce theweakly nilpotent graph of a commutative ring. The weakly nilpotent graph of R denoted by Γw(R) is a graph with the vertex set R* and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x y ∊ N(R)*, where R* = R \ {0} and N(R)* is the set of all non-zero nilpotent elements of R. In this article, we determine the diameter of weakly nilpotent graph of an Artinian ring. We prove that if Γw(R) is a forest, then Γw(R) is a union of a star and some isolated vertices. We study the clique number, the chromatic number, and the independence number of Γw(R). Among other results, we show that for an Artinian ring R, Γw(R) is not a disjoint union of cycles or a unicyclic graph. For Artinan rings, we determine diam . Finally, we characterize all commutative rings R for which is a cycle, where is the complement of the weakly nilpotent graph of R.

Alignment of Outcome Instruments Used in Hand Therapy With the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: A Scoping Review
Authors: Lesher Danielle Ann-Marie , Mulcahey M. J. , Hershey Peter , Stanton Donna Breger , Tiedgen Andrea C. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We sought to identify outcome instruments used in rehabilitation of the hand and upper extremity; to determine their alignment with the constructs of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process; and to report gaps in the constructs measured by outcome instruments as a basis for future research.
METHOD. We searched CINAHL, MEDLINE, OTseeker, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials using scoping review methodology and evaluated outcome instruments for concordance with the ICF and the Framework.
RESULTS. We identified 18 outcome instruments for analysis. The findings pertain to occupational therapists’ focus on body functions, body structures, client factors, and activities of daily living; a gap in practice patterns in use of instruments; and overestimation of the degree to which instruments used are occupationally based.
CONCLUSION. Occupational therapy practitioners should use outcome instruments that embody conceptual frameworks for classifying function and activity.
Personal Reflections on Nathaniel Branden: My Guru and More
Authors: Sethi Deepak 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The author discusses how the work of Nathaniel Branden inspired him to seek out and learn from him. They coauthored an article that reached business audiences and was very well received. The two worked together to integrate segments on self-esteem in an innovative and highly acclaimed weeklong Leadership Development Program that the author had designed. Branden's participation in these programs integrated his sentence completion techniques into leadership sessions, and posed new challenges on how to connect the insights from this exercise and its impact on leadership behaviors in the work environment.
An Academic Psychologist Remembers Nathaniel Branden
Authors: Campbell Robert L. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Reading The Psychology of Self-Esteem helped the author to choose psychology as a career, yet he became a theoretician and a researcher rather than a clinician. These are his personal thoughts about Nathaniel Branden, with particular emphasis on the gulf between academic research and clinical practice, and Branden's incomplete success at bridging it.
Nathaniel Branden's Legacy to the Science of Clinical Psychology
Authors: Morales Gerbaud Teresa I. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
This article presents a summary of the key aspects of the Biocentric theory of psychology proposed and developed by Nathaniel Branden. The themes of the conscious and nonconscious aspects of the mind and their interplay in healthy and psychopathological human functioning are highlighted, with the development and maintenance of self-esteem as the centerpiece of this schema. Branden's cogent, in-depth analysis and synthesis of these issues, presented for the first time over fifty years ago, is discussed in relation to issues that are being actively researched today.

A Brief Phenomenology of Dasein
Authors: Ramsey Carole Ann 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
When Heidegger wrote Being and Time he was hopeful that his ontological phenomenology would lead thinking back to its “proper ground.” In a brief essay with the theme as the title, he premised “the end of philosophy.” This “end” has nothing to do with a closed-off finality but, rather, heralds a “new” return to a deeper, primordial thinking. As we move toward one hundred years marking the first publication of Sein und Zeit, his transcendental phenomenology of Dasein still remains opaque. One reason for this is that his work has been engaged with in the traditional philosophical mode rather than as he meticulously outlined in the introduction to Being and Time. Unless this task as he describes it is taken seriously, the profound insights embedded in his work will remain undisclosed. Michael Zimmerman declared that reading Heidegger should be transformative; if it is not, then the deficiency lies with the reading. In this essay I carry through a brief and very simple illustration of the kinds of insights that the experience of authentic engagement with Heidegger's Being and Time opens up.
Metaphysics of the Common World: Whitehead, Latour, and the Modes of Existence
Authors: Weber Tomas 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
We exist only because we inhabit a world in common, embedded within networks of associations between humans and nonhumans. This is endlessly disclosed by our experience of the world. And yet, despite its palpability, it is clear that we have failed to mobilize a notion of the common world into something capable of guiding our modes of thought and collective forms of activity—our attitudes, our affective lives, our politics. How have we arrived here? Bruno Latour's work suggests that an answer can be found in the common world's status as information—its self-evidence works to exclude it from a world of values. What, then, should be done? In his recent work on the modes of existence Latour develops a pragmatic metaphysics inspired by the speculative method of Alfred North Whitehead. Metaphysical speculation becomes a tool for moving beyond the “bifurcation of nature” through the construction of abstractions with which to interpret the pluralism of experience. Rather than thinking of the common world as either a given fact or as a totalizing universal, Latour develops a notion of a common world out of the messiness of experience and, as such, hopes to transform us into beings who would be moved to actively pursue and care for such a notion.
Less of More
Authors: Levitas Ruth 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
This article argues that the focus on Thomas More's Utopia in its quincentenary year overstates the importance of the text itself. More's work still has some substantive relevance to the contemporary world, particularly in its attack on enclosure. The word “Utopia” that he gave us is more important, although that too delivers an ambiguous legacy. What is crucial, however, is the process of imagining the world otherwise—a process not invented by More, and possessed of a long and varied history. It is this process we need to engage with to address the consequences of climate change, conflict, and the increasing inequalities wreaked by global capitalism. Utopia does not matter very much. Utopia does.

Utopian Studies in Greece Today: A Brief Survey
Authors: Balasopoulos Antonis 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
In the first section, this article offers a sketch of tendencies in the engagement with utopia and utopianism in contemporary Greece: after dwelling on Greek-language scholarly research and translation in the area of utopian studies, it makes reference to film, drama and performance art, architecture and urbanism, and cross-platform cultural initiatives. It concludes with two observations regarding the dominant character of the Greek reception of the utopian problematic in recent years: first, that it is highly political in nature and therefore oriented to concrete social and cultural interventions around the major issues the country has faced and, second, that the increasing resonance of utopia is for these reasons largely unofficial in character, since European research funding is relatively lacking. This gives a strongly “grassroots” character to much of the activity using utopia as method and orientation. The second half of the survey draws on responses to the journal questionnaire to document the activity of one research initiative undertaken in Greece, “Utopia Project 2006–2010,” coordinated by Vassilis Vlastaras and Maria Glyka under the auspices of the Athens School of Fine Arts and involving the collaborative work of international artists and academics over a period of five years.
