EDS© Electrophotonic DataPhoton System : une solution technologique innovante en imagerie macroscopique par effet de couronne
Authors: Vieilledent Georges , Herren Raymond , Morard Vincent , Chaumet-Lagrange Eric 
Published: April 2016

Lors d’une précédente communication ( BioEM2014, Cape Town, South Africa, Jun 08-13, 2014 - Session: PA), nous avions présenté un dispositif baptisé EDS© travaillant sur les effets de couronne dans le spectre UV (< 350 nm). Ce dispositif a permis, par une convergence d’observations, la mise en évidence de phénomènes photoniques jusqu’alors non identifiés (à notre connaissance) dans le vivant. Parmi ceux-ci, nous avions cité le phénomène des « photonic bridges », c’est-à-dire l’apparition sous certaines conditions d’un lien de nature photonique entre un corps vivant et un substrat moléculaire. Cet échange singulier semble se produire lorsqu’une affinité ou, inversement, un recul ou un fossé s’établit entre ces deux éléments. L’objet de cette communication est de présenter une synthèse de résultats en rapport avec une pré-étude clinique de ce phénomène, dans le cadre d’une investigation menée avec trois patients atteints d’un diabète de type 2 et trois autres patients atteints d’hypertension (HTA) en comparaison avec deux autres groupes témoins sains. Les résultats montrent la pertinence de l’apparition de ce phénomène baptisé « photonic bridges » qui rend compte, en l’état, d’attirances spécifiques mesurables et reproductibles en fonction des principes actifs utilisés dans le cadre de ces pathologies.
Reflexive Dressing: Rethinking Retro
Authors: North Stella 
Published: April 2016

This article undertakes a philosophical exploration of the act we know, or think we know, as ‘dressing’. Inhabiting, in thought, the moment in which we dress, I examine some of its constituent mechanisms, attending to the impulses by which dressing is generated out of subjective experience. When those impulses are temporally marked, as they are in the case of retro dress, this generation is a two-pronged process, in which the holding of the body in time, and the holding of time in the body, recalibrate one another. The process of ‘dressing,’ in this understanding, has a reflexivity which is double; it entails the turning of the body, with dress as medium, towards itself, and the turning of present experience towards some felt notion of the past. Reflexively dressing, we are always becoming ourselves, and becoming other than ourselves, at once; a movement of circuitous internalisation and externalisation by which the ambiguation inherent in material experience is realised.
A Feminist Love Letter to Stuart Hall; or What Feminist Cultural Studies Needs to Remember
Authors: Probyn Elspeth 
Published: April 2016

I need to preface these brief remarks with a caveat. I was to write of Hall’s contribution to forging feminist cultural studies, the intellectual project I have felt affiliated with across my academic life, and certainly that which has inspired and formed me. But I don’t feel entitled to write of ‘feminist cultural studies’ in the way that others, such as Lucy Bland, Janice Winship, Angela McRobbie and Charlotte Brunsdon can. I wasn’t there when the Women Studies Group at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies struggled with ‘the dilemma’ of ‘whether to conquer the whole of cultural studies and only then to make a feminist critique of it, or whether to focus on the “woman question” from the beginning’. The group did conceptual work across the disciplines of history, anthropology, psychology and literary studies, and grappled with theoretical movements influenced by figures as varied as Lacan, Marx and Foucault and across sites such as popular culture, regimes of gendered work and eighteenth-century novels. At the same time, and in their words, ‘the Group also felt it wanted to do concrete work rather than engaging theoretical wrangles’. Across the chapters in Women Take Issue I see dedicated feminists poring over texts, their own and others, and then heading to the streets, the factories and girls’ bedrooms to understand how, where and with what effect gendered relations were being reproduced. It is a picture of scholarly intent a bit at odds with Hall’s description in hindsight of how feminism roared into the project of cultural studies:For cultural studies (in addition to many other theoretical projects), the intervention of feminism was specific and decisive. It was ruptural … As a thief in the night, it broke in, interrupted, made an unseemly noise, seized the time, crapped on the table of cultural studies.

Abstract. The influence of storage on meat colour differences between free-range Swallow Belly Mangalitsa (MA, n =  19) and commercially reared Swedish Landrace (SL, n =  17) pigs, are investigated in the present study. Proximate composition analyses were done on fresh samples of M. longissimus thoracis (LT) and M. gluteus medius (GM), while pH values and colour quality attributes were determined on fresh cuts of the muscles (day 1) and after 3 and 6 days of vacuum storage at 4 ± 1 °C. MA pork had a significantly higher share of intramuscular fat, a darker colour, a higher deoxymyoglobin (Mb) content and oxy ∕ met (oxymyoglobin ∕ metmyoglobin) ratio, higher pH24 h values and a slower pH decline compared to the control SL group (P < 0.05). Greater changes in myoglobin forms during storage were observed in MA pork, which were reflected in a significant decrease in the content of Mb and an increase in the oxy ∕ met ratio (P < 0.05).After 6 days of vacuum storage, higher pH6d values, a lower metmyoglobin (MetMb) content and a higher oxy ∕ met ratio of MA pork lead to the conclusion that aged meat from free-range Swallow Belly Mangalitsa pigs had better colour quality compared to Swedish Landrace pigs.

Published: April 2016

Abstract. Fine particles (PM2.5) affect human life and activities directly; the detection of PM2.5 mass concentration profile is very essential due to its practical and scientific significance (such as the quantification of air quality and its variability as well as the assessment of improving air quality forecast). But so far, it has been difficult to detect PM2.5 mass concentration profile. The proposed methodology to study the relationship between aerosol extinction coefficient and PM2.5 mass concentration is described, which indicates that the PM2.5 mass concentration profile could be retrieved by combining a charge-coupled device (CCD) side-scatter lidar with a PM2.5 sampling detector. When the relative humidity is less than 70 %, PM2.5, mass concentration is proportional to the aerosol extinction coefficient, and then the specific coefficient can be calculated. Through this specific coefficient, aerosol extinction profile is converted to PM2.5 mass concentration profile. Three cases of clean night (on 21 September 2014), pollutant night (on 17 March 2014), and heavy pollutant night (on 13 February 2015) are studied. The characteristics of PM2.5 mass concentration profile at the near-ground level during the cases of these 3 nights in the western suburb of Hefei city were discussed. The PM2.5 air pollutant concentration is comparatively large close to the surface and varies with time and altitude. The experiment results show that the CCD side-scatter lidar combined with a PM2.5 detector is an effective and new method to explore pollutant mass concentration profile at the near-ground level.

2016/1 Do the rules on transfer of undertaking apply in a ‘pre-pack’ insolvency? A Dutch court asks the ECJ for guidance (NL)
A day care provider, Estro Groep B.V., (‘Estro’) went into pre-arranged (‘pre-pack’) receivership. Immediately afterwards, a large part of its business was taken over by another day care provider, Smallsteps B.V. (‘Smallsteps’). The latter did not offer employment to all of Estro’s employees, taking the position that the takeover did not constitute the transfer of an undertaking. This position was based on the fact that Estro was in receivership at the time of the takeover. According to the Dutch law transposing the Acquired Rights Directive, such takeovers are exempted from the rules on transfers of undertakings. A union and five of the employees whom Smallsteps had not offered jobs, relying on the wording of Article 5(1) of the Directive (“insolvency proceedings which have been instituted with a view to the liquidation of the assets”), claimed that they had become Smallsteps employees. The court referred questions to the ECJ for a preliminary ruling.

2016/18 Legislation that increased the statutory retirement age violates ECHR (NL)
A 60-year old widow with a house but without income other than a small widow’s pension has successfully challenged legislation that moved the qualification age for state pension benefits from 65 to 67. A court has found that, in her particular case, the legislation constitutes an “individual and excessive burden” within the meaning of ECtHR case law on the First Protocol to the ECHR. The government was ordered to start paying the widow state pension from age 65 despite and contrary to the wording of the law.
Scholarly Sharing via Twitter: #icanhazpdf Requests for Health Sciences Literature
Authors: Swab Michelle , Romme Kristen 
Published: April 2016

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong><span> Although requesting access to journal articles and books via colleagues and authors is a long-established academic practice, websites and social media platforms have broadened the scope and visibility of academic literature sharing among researchers. On Twitter, the #icanhazpdf hashtag has emerged as a way for researchers to request and obtain journal articles quickly and efficiently. This study analyzes use of the #icanhazpdf hashtag as a means of obtaining health sciences literature. </span><strong>Methods:</strong><span> RowFeeder software was used to monitor and aggregate #icanhazpdf requests between 1 February and 30 April 2015. This software records data such as Twitter handle, tweet content, tweeter location, date, and time. Tweets were hand-coded for the journal subject area, the requestor’s geographic location, and the requestor’s occupational sector. </span><strong>Results:</strong><span> There were 302 requests for health sciences literature during the study period. Many requests were made by users affiliated with a post-secondary academic institution (45%, </span><em>n</em><span> = 136). Very few requests were made by users located in Canada (</span><em>n</em><span> = 15). </span><strong>Conclusion:</strong><span> #icanhazpdf requests for health sciences literature account for a relatively small proportion of peer-to-peer article sharing activities when compared with other online platforms. Nevertheless, this study provides evidence that some faculty and students are choosing social media over the library as a means of obtaining health sciences literature. Examining peer-to-peer article sharing practices can provide insights into patron behaviour and expectations.</span></p>
Transport of six tyrosine kinase inhibitors: active or passive?
Authors: Honeywell Richard J. , Hitzerd Sarina , Kathmann Ietje , Peters Godefridus J. 
Published: April 2016

<p class="ADMETabstracttext">Transport of erlotinib, gefitinib, sorafenib, sunitinib, dasatinib and crizotinib can be active or passive, which was studied by measuring uptake at low (4 °C; passive) and normal temperature (37 °C; active and passive) and by the use of specific organic cation transporter (OCT) inhibitors. Intracellular accumulation was determined using Caco-2 as monolayers, while for gut permeation we used differentiated Caco-2 as model for intestinal epithelium in the Transwell system. Sorafenib and crizotinib uptake are likely to be dependent on passive transport. Gefitinib, dasatinib and sunitinib uptake seem to be active. Erlotinib’s transport also seems to be active. This study suggests that hOCTs might be involved in the apical to basolateral transport of gefitinib and crizotinib. Overall it can be concluded that the accumulation and transport of these six TKIs are very different, despite the fact that they are all tyrosine kinase inhibitors.</p>

Published: April 2016

Comment permettre à une cible, en l’occurrence des enfants âgés de 7 à 11 ans, de vivre une expérience immersive grâce à la promotion des ventes ? C’est sur la base d’un jeu en réalité augmentée proposé aux enfants sur un paquet de céréales qu’une étude qualitative cherche à répondre à cette interrogation. Généralement utilisée afin d’accroître les ventes, la promotion des ventes se révèle être également un moyen efficace d’immerger le jeune consommateur-prescripteur dans l’univers créé par une marque en soulignant, notamment, le rôle de la présence personnelle – i.e. la sensation d’être dans un lieu dans lequel on n’est pas réellement – dans le processus d’immersion et celui du flow .
Qui sont les preneuses de risque ? L’intention d’adopter des conduites à risque chez les étudiantes postsecondaires québécoises
Authors: Joubert Sara-Maude , Carpentier Julie , Plourde Chantal , Marcotte Julie , Brunelle Natacha , Admo Nina 
Published: April 2016

Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude exploratoire qui visait à étudier la propension à la prise de risque d’un échantillon d’étudiantes québécoises de niveau postsecondaire âgées entre 18 et 30 ans et à comparer cette propension en fonction de variables sociodémographiques (âge, statut civil, milieu de vie, niveau de scolarité). L’échantillon était composé de 233 étudiantes recrutées dans une université québécoise et dans un établissement de niveau collégial (X = 22,14 ans, ET = 2,89). Les participantes, recrutées à l’aide d’affiches publicitaires, devaient répondre à une version électronique de l’échelle DOSPERT révisée pour adultes (Domain-Specific Risk-Taking scale for adults) en version française (Blais et Weber, 2006) qui mesure l’intention d’adopter un comportement à risque et à laquelle huit questions ont été ajoutées concernant la probabilité de prise de risque en matière de sexualité, de consommation de substances psychoactives et de conduite automobile. Les résultats indiquent que 24,9 % des étudiantes sondées estiment probable qu’elles puissent avoir un rapport sexuel avec une personne rencontrée quelques heures auparavant. De plus, 15,1 % des étudiantes estiment probable qu’elles adoptent des comportements sexualisés (se dévêtir, attitude aguichante) dans un bar ou une fête et cette propension augmente considérablement s’il y a consommation de substances psychoactives (25,4 %). La consommation volontaire d’ecstasy est d’ailleurs estimée comme probable ou très probable pour 16,3 % de l’échantillon. De façon plus générale, les résultats à l’échelle DOSPERT indiquent que la propension à la prise de risque dans les domaines sociaux, des activités récréatives et de la santé et la sécurité est en moyenne plus élevée que la propension à la prise de risque dans les domaines de l’éthique ou des finances chez les étudiantes. De plus, la tendance à la prise de risque dans certains domaines varie en fonction de l’état civil, de la parentalité, du milieu de vie, du niveau de scolarité et de la propension à la prise de risque en soi.
Fabrication of infrared wire-grid polarizer by sol–gel method and soft imprint lithography
Authors: Yamada Itsunari , Ishihara Yoshiro 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
An infrared wire-grid polarizer was fabricated by forming a subwavelength grating of zirconia by imprinting techniques, a sol–gel method, and Al shadow thermal evaporation. After imprinting on a dropped zirconia nanoparticle dispersion using a silicone mold, 100-nm-thick Al was deposited on the fabricated zirconia grating with 400 nm period by evaporation. The extinction ratio of the fabricated element was 27.5 dB at 5.4 µm wavelength. The TM polarization transmittance was higher than that of the Si plate in the 4.2–5.3 µm wavelength range because the zirconia film acted as an antireflection film.
Manipulating fluorescence quenching efficiency of graphene by defect engineering

Published: April 2016

Abstract
We report on the manipulation of the fluorescence quenching of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) on graphene by defect engineering via hydrogen and Ar+ plasma treatments. The amount and nature of defects in graphene were estimated on the basis of the Raman intensity ratios I(D)/I(G) and I(D)/I(D′) of graphene. Results showed that the quenching factor (QF) gradually decreases from ∼40 to ∼4 and ∼12 for hydrogenated graphene (sp3 defects) and Ar+-plasma-treated graphene (vacancy-like defects), respectively, with different amounts of defects. Our results indicated that the fluorescence quenching efficiency of graphene is strongly dependent on the amount and nature of defects.
Design and simulation of high-breakdown-voltage GaN-based vertical field-effect transistor with interfacial charge engineering
Authors: Du Jiangfeng , Liu Dong , Bai Zhiyuan , Luo Qian , Yu Qi 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
A high-breakdown-voltage GaN-based vertical field-effect transistor with negative fixed interfacial charge engineering (GaN ICE-VHFET) is proposed in this work. The negative charge inverts an n-GaN buffer layer along the oxide/GaN interface, inducing a vertical hole layer. Thus, the entire buffer layer consists of a p+-hole inversion layer and an n-pillar buffer layer, and the p-pillar laterally depletes the n-GaN buffer layer, and the electric field distribution becomes more uniform. Simulation results show that the breakdown voltage of the GaN ICE-VHFET increases by 193% and the on-resistance of such a device is still very low when compared with those of conventional vertical FETs. Its figure of merit even exceeds the GaN one-dimensional limit.

Published: April 2016

Abstract
An amperometric biosensor based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with long-length multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and enzyme nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) is presented. We demonstrate the effect of the MWCNT length on the amperometric response of the enzyme biosensor. The long length of MWCNT is 200 µm (average), whereas the normal length of MWCNT is 1 µm (average). The response of the long MWCNT–GDH electrode is 2 times more sensitive than that of the normal-length MWCNT–GDH electrode in the concentration range from 0.25–35 mM. The result of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements suggest that the long-length MWCNT–GDH electrode formed a better electron transfer network than the normal-length one.

Published: April 2016

Abstract
The fabrication of quasi-phase-matching (QPM) crystals by selective-area growth on the two asymmetrically polar surfaces of GaN is examined. We attempted the fabrication of GaN-QPM crystals by one-time growth using a carbon mask. For GaN double-polarity selective-area growth (DP-SAG), we investigated the effect of varied nitriding times of the Al2O3 templates patterned with the carbon mask. We optimized the nitriding conditions for the DP-SAG process, and evaluated the substrate fabricated by the optimized DP-SAG process. In addition, we examined the interface formation mechanism of DP-GaN fabricated by GaN DP-SAG process. We determined that it is possible to fabricate DP-GaN with a sharp interface by optimizing the growth conditions.
Effect of double superlattice interlayers on growth of thick GaN epilayers on Si(110) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
Authors: Shen Xu-Qiang , Takahashi Tokio , Ide Toshihide , Shimizu Mitsuaki 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The effect of double thin AlN/GaN superlattice interlayers (SL ILs) on the growth of thick GaN epilayers by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on Si(110) substrates is investigated. It is found that the GaN middle layer (GaN layer between the two SL ILs) can affect the strain state of the GaN epilayer. By comparison with the case of a single SL IL, it is shown that the double SL ILs can have a stronger compressive effect on the GaN epilayer grown on it, which results in lower residual tensile strain in the GaN film after the growth. By optimizing the GaN middle layer thickness, a 4-µm-thick crack-free GaN epilayer is successfully achieved. By this simple technique, it is expected that high-quality crack-free thick GaN can be grown on Si substrates for optical and electronic device applications.

Abstract
Microscale platelet-shaped GaN grains were grown on amorphous substrates by a combined epitaxial growth method of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). First, MBE GaN was grown on an amorphous substrate as a pre-orienting layer and its structural properties were investigated. Second, MOCVD grown GaN samples using the different growth techniques of planar and selective area growth (SAG) were comparatively investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cathodoluminescence (CL), and photoluminescence (PL). In MOCVD planar GaN, strong bound exciton peaks dominated despite the high density of the threading dislocations (TDs). In MOCVD SAG GaN, on the other hand, TDs were clearly reduced with bending, but basal stacking fault (BSF) PL peaks were observed at 3.42 eV. The combined epitaxial method not only provides a deep understanding of the growth behavior but also suggests an alternative approach for the growth of GaN on amorphous substances.
