FERMI LAT DISCOVERY OF EXTENDED GAMMA-RAY EMISSIONS IN THE VICINITY OF THE HB 3 SUPERNOVA REMNANT
Authors: Katagiri H. , Yoshida K. , Ballet J. , Grondin M.-H. , Hanabata Y. , Hewitt J. W. , Kubo H. , Lemoine-Goumard M. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
We report the discovery of extended gamma-ray emission measured by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the region of the supernova remnant (SNR) HB 3 (G132.7+1.3) and the W3 II complex adjacent to the southeast of the remnant. W3 is spatially associated with bright 12CO (J = 1–0) emission. The gamma-ray emission is spatially correlated with this gas and the SNR. We discuss the possibility that gamma rays originate in interactions between particles accelerated in the SNR and interstellar gas or radiation fields. The decay of neutral pions produced in nucleon–nucleon interactions between accelerated hadrons and interstellar gas provides a reasonable explanation for the gamma-ray emission. The emission from W3 is consistent with irradiation of the CO clouds by the cosmic rays accelerated in HB 3.
SYMPIX: A SPHERICAL GRID FOR EFFICIENT SAMPLING OF ROTATIONALLY INVARIANT OPERATORS
Authors: Seljebotn D. S. , Eriksen H. K. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
We present SymPix, a special-purpose spherical grid optimized for efficiently sampling rotationally invariant linear operators. This grid is conceptually similar to the Gauss–Legendre (GL) grid, aligning sample points with iso-latitude rings located on Legendre polynomial zeros. Unlike the GL grid, however, the number of grid points per ring varies as a function of latitude, avoiding expensive oversampling near the poles and ensuring nearly equal sky area per grid point. The ratio between the number of grid points in two neighboring rings is required to be a low-order rational number (3, 2, 1, 4/3, 5/4, or 6/5) to maintain a high degree of symmetries. Our main motivation for this grid is to solve linear systems using multi-grid methods, and to construct efficient preconditioners through pixel-space sampling of the linear operator in question. As a benchmark and representative example, we compute a preconditioner for a linear system that involves the operator

, where

and

may be described as both local and rotationally invariant operators, and

is diagonal in the pixel domain. For a bandwidth limit of

= 3000, we find that our new SymPix implementation yields average speed-ups of 360 and 23 for

and

, respectively, compared with the previous state-of-the-art implementation.
SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF G AND K DWARFS IN THE HIPPARCOS CATALOG. I. COMPARISON BETWEEN THE HIPPARCOS AND PHOTOMETRIC PARALLAXES
Authors: Kim Bokyoung , An Deokkeun , Stauffer John R. , Lee Young Sun , Terndrup Donald M. , Johnson Jennifer A. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
The tension between the Hipparcos parallax of the Pleiades and other independent distance estimates continues even after the new reduction of the Hipparcos astrometric data and the development of a new geometric distance measurement for the cluster. A short Pleiades distance from the Hipparcos parallax predicts a number of stars in the solar neighborhood that are sub-luminous at a given photospheric abundance. We test this hypothesis using the spectroscopic abundances for a subset of stars in the Hipparcos catalog, which occupy the same region as the Pleiades in the color–magnitude diagram. We derive stellar parameters for 170 nearby G- and K-type field dwarfs in the Hipparcos catalog based on high-resolution spectra obtained using KPNO 4 m echelle spectrograph. Our analysis shows that, when the Hipparcos parallaxes are adopted, most of our sample stars follow empirical color–magnitude relations. A small fraction of stars are too faint compared to main-sequence fitting relations by

mag, but the differences are marginal at a

level, partly due to relatively large parallax errors. On the other hand, we find that the photometric distances of stars showing signatures of youth as determined from lithium absorption line strengths and

chromospheric activity indices are consistent with the Hipparcos parallaxes. Our result is contradictory to a suggestion that the Pleiades distance from main-sequence fitting is significantly altered by stellar activity and/or the young age of its stars, and provides an additional supporting evidence for the long-distance scale of the Pleiades.
La sagesse présocratique
Authors: Bouvier David 
Published: February 2016

R ésumé. L’enquête sur l’origine des présocratiques n’est pas innocente. Elle renvoie à des enjeux qui touchent à la conception même de la philosophie, de l’autorité qu’elle revendique et du territoire qu’elle veut couvrir ou annexer. Que défend-on quand on postule une continuité allant d’Hésiode aux présocratiques ? Faut-il admettre une origine poétique de la philosophie ou postuler une rupture radicale laissant la philosophie naître d’elle-même ? « Pensée mythique », « rationalisme », « poésie » et « philosophie présocratique » sont autant de concepts historiquement construits, à partir de déterminations et de critères arbitraires. Au gré des définitions se jouent, dans l’Antiquité comme chez les modernes, des choix qui veulent opérer entre les savoirs et les disciplines des partages de compétence. Examinant l’histoire de l’édition des fragments des présocratiques, ce chapitre étudie la place refusée ou accordée à des poètes comme Orphée, Homère et surtout Hésiode. Point de réponse, bien sûr, mais un débat dont il faut rappeler les étapes.
La sagesse présocratique
Authors: Centrone Bruno 
Published: February 2016

R ésumé. Ce chapitre consacré à Xénophane s’intéresse tout particulièrement au problème des sources, en analysant de façon critique les principales questions relatives aux domaines dans lesquels le penseur-poète de Colophon a apporté sa plus notable contribution : la théologie et la théorie de la connaissance, domaines à propos desquels la critique moderne assume encore actuellement des positions divergentes. L’attention se porte principalement sur le problème de la crédibilité de la tradition, qui établit un rapport étroit avec Parménide et fait de Xénophane le fondateur de l’éléatisme, sur l’alternative monothéisme/polythéisme et sur la question de la signification du relativisme gnoséologique attribué au philosophe par les sources antiques. On reconstruira brièvement les traits saillants de la tradition doxographique qui a conduit durant l’Antiquité à tracer des images divergentes du philosophe.

Abstract
The generation of Abs that recognize the native conformation of G protein–coupled receptors can be a challenging task because, like most multimembrane-spanning proteins, they are extremely difficult to purify as native protein. By combining genetic immunization, phage display, and biopanning, we identified two functional monovalent Abs (nanobodies) targeting ChemR23. The two nanobodies (CA4910 and CA5183) were highly specific for the human receptor and bind ChemR23 with moderate affinity. Binding studies also showed that they share a common binding site that overlaps with that of chemerin, the natural ligand of ChemR23. Consistent with these results, we found that the nanobodies were able to antagonize chemerin-induced intracellular calcium increase. The inhibition was partial when chemerin was used as agonist and complete when the chemerin(149-157) nonapeptide was used as agonist. Engineering of a bivalent CA4910 nanobody resulted in a relatively modest increase in affinity but a marked enhancement of efficacy as an antagonist of chemerin induced intracellular calcium mobilization and a much higher potency against the chemerin(149–157) nonapeptide-induced response. We also demonstrated that the fluorescently labeled nanobodies detect ChemR23 on the surface of human primary cell populations as efficiently as a reference mouse mAb and that the bivalent CA4910 nanobody behaves as an efficient antagonist of chemerin-induced chemotaxis of human primary cells. Thus, these nanobodies constitute new tools to study the role of the chemerin/ChemR23 system in physiological and pathological conditions.

Authors: Odochi Uloma Nwabara 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Date Presented 4/16/2015
This research project investigated (1) the use and frequency of early therapy services in the first 2 yr of life following neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge and (2) the relationships between early therapy services and 2-yr developmental outcomes of preterm infants. This research project will advance the field of occupational therapy by building evidence to support the use of early therapy services during the first 2 yr of life. The findings of this study can aid the understanding of the optimal time to enroll children in early therapy services as well as can define the benefits of services for improving outcome. Such evidence could affect policy and service utilization.
