Neutron-star Radius Constraints from GW170817 and Future Detections
Authors: Bauswein Andreas , Just Oliver , Janka Hans-Thomas , Stergioulas Nikolaos 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
We introduce a new, powerful method to constrain properties of neutron stars (NSs). We show that the total mass of GW170817 provides a reliable constraint on the stellar radius if the merger did not result in a prompt collapse as suggested by the interpretation of associated electromagnetic emission. The radius

of nonrotating NSs with a mass of 1.6

can be constrained to be larger than

km, and the radius R
max of the nonrotating maximum-mass configuration must be larger than

km. We point out that detections of future events will further improve these constraints. Moreover, we show that a future event with a signature of a prompt collapse of the merger remnant will establish even stronger constraints on the NS radius from above and the maximum mass M
max of NSs from above. These constraints are particularly robust because they only require a measurement of the chirp mass and a distinction between prompt and delayed collapse of the merger remnant, which may be inferred from the electromagnetic signal or even from the presence/absence of a ringdown gravitational-wave (GW) signal. This prospect strengthens the case of our novel method of constraining NS properties, which is directly applicable to future GW events with accompanying electromagnetic counterpart observations. We emphasize that this procedure is a new way of constraining NS radii from GW detections independent of existing efforts to infer radius information from the late inspiral phase or post-merger oscillations, and it does not require particularly loud GW events.
The Palm-Heart Diameter: A Prospective Simple Screening Tool for Identifying Heart Enlargement
Authors: Fakoya Adegbenro Omotuyi John , Otohinoyi David Adeiza , Marcelle Terrence , Yusuf Joshua 
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND: Several speculations have linked the size of the fist to be equal to the size of the heart. However, the substantial scientific report still lacks to support this theory.AIM: This study aims to provide the validity of the fist-heart assumption by correlating the palm and heart diameters while benchmarking it as a reference tool for determining the normal heart size.MATERIALS AND METHOD: Volunteers from the public were recruited during a health fair organised by the school. A self-administered questionnaire for necessary information was distributed after the volunteers signed the consent forms. The palm of both hands was measured in duplicates using a flexible ruler. Ultrasound examination was used in measuring the diameter of the heart with the landmark being from the anterior fibrous pericardium to the lowest part of the posterior fibrous pericardium. The level of significance was kept at P < 0.05.RESULTS: A total of 275 people, consisting of 123 males and 152 females participated in the study. The age range was from 15 to 80 years with a mean age of 28.16 ± 16.18. The measurement showed that the size of both palms correlated with the heart diameter, p < 0.05. Other factors such as age and height showed a substantial level of correlation. However, this correlation ceased with older participants. Palm size did not correlate among participants with previously diagnosed prehypertension. However, participants with previously diagnosed hypertension with good medication compliance maintained the correlation.CONCLUSION: This study establishes the correlation between the palm and heart diameters. Since the heart tissue and the upper limb share a similar embryonic origin, being the mesoderm, this study prospects the fact that heart enlargement could be preliminarily identified by measuring the size of the hand.

Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND: A feeding disorder in infancy and during childhood is a complex condition involving different symptoms such as food refusal and faddiest, both leading to a decreased food intake.AIM: We aimed to assess the prevalence and predictor factors of feeding difficulties in children who underwent cardiac open heart surgery in neonatal period and infancy. We address selected nutritional and caloric requirements for children after cardiac surgery and explore nutritional interdependence with other system functions. METHODS: This was a retrospective study in a tertiary referral hospital, and prior approval from the institutional ethics committee was obtained. Information for 78 children (42 male and 36 female) was taken from patients charts. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics and logistic regression.RESULTS: From a cohort of analysed children with feeding problems we have occurred in 23% of such cases. At the time of the study, refusal to eat or poor appetite was reported as a significant problem in 19 children and subnormal height and weight were recorded in 11 children. Early neonatal intervention and reoperation were identified as risk factors for latter feeding difficulties or inadequate intake. Children with feeding problems also tended to eat less than children without feeding problems. There was a trend towards more feeding problems in patients with chromosomal abnormalities or other associated anomalies.CONCLUSION: Feeding disorder is often and a frequent long-term sequel in children after neonatal or early infancy heart surgery. Patients with chromosomal and associated anomalies who underwent multiple cardiac surgeries are at risk of developing feeding difficulties.
Pour une « observation sensorielle » des « formes sensorisonores » à partager dans des situations cliniques extrêmes
Authors: Viodé Christelle 
Published: November 2017

L’auteure propose une réflexion en lien avec ses pratiques thérapeutiques et/ou de recherches sur la présence du « sonore », de « l’objet sonore » dans les prises en charge de sujets entravés dans leurs processus d’accès à la symbolisation et à la narration, dans le souci de soutenir la mise en récit et sa fonction subjectivante à partir de l’élaboration du trauma. Elle revient ainsi sur le nécessaire retour aux figurations corporelles et aux formes qu’elle nomme, ici, « sensorisonores » dans les psychothérapies afin de favoriser un « espace commun de jeu et de liberté », véritable espace transitionnel et lieu de transformation nécessaire à la relance des processus indispensables à tout devenir et à toute création psychiques. Est évoquée la question de l’apport de la musicothérapie proposée dans certains cas comme « média sonore » mais l’auteure étudie avant tout les conditions nécessaires à la constitution d’un espace transitionnel au sein duquel patient et analyste pourront s’accorder avec leur musicalité « co-construite ».
Traces psychiques des carences et violences précoces en psychothérapie analytique médiatisée
Authors: Sens Dominique 
Published: November 2017

L’auteur s’appuie sur l’étude de cas d’un suivi en psychothérapie analytique médiatisée auprès d’une jeune adulte handicapée, atteinte d’un syndrome d’alcoolisation fœtale associé à des traumatismes infantiles graves. Qu’en est-il du devenir des traumatismes relationnels précoces qui ne concordent pas nécessairement avec le modèle classique de l’après-coup ? Effectivement, la logique de l’après-coup, celle qui permet, sous l’effet du refoulement, des remodelages d’expériences traumatiques en fantasmes est inopérante. En l’absence d’une mesure défensive tel que le refoulement, le trauma est soumis à la forclusion laissant place à des restes perceptifs hallucinés incompréhensibles. En proposant un dispositif associant création plastique ou graphique et verbalisation, il s’agit de permettre une autre forme de narrativité de l’expérience du sujet, de s’en imprégner du côté du thérapeute pour rendre possible un travail de figurabilité afin d’accéder à une compréhension du vécu traumatique du patient.
Langage, pratiques de littératie et apprentissage de l’écrit

Published: November 2017

Il est établi qu’une introduction précoce dans le monde de l’écrit a un effet positif sur la maîtrise des formes verbales les plus attendues dans le contexte scolaire, par le fait de leur proximité avec les normes de l’écrit. Cet effet est en partie lié à des facteurs portés d’abord par le milieu familial, puis par l’école. Dans une recherche-action menée en zone d’éducation prioritaire (Picardie), nous avons porté notre attention sur les enfants les plus en difficulté, en explorant leurs compétences langagières tout en analysant les pratiques éducatives familiales qui les initient à la littératie. Nos données ont été analysées de manière contextuelle et complémentariste, puis croisées et mises en perspective. Ceci montre alors que les plus faibles scores au niveau du langage sont corrélés à des pratiques éducatives les moins opérantes dans la transmission des savoirs et des représentations qui servent d’appui à l’entrée dans la culture écrite. Sur le plan des pratiques familiales, le rapport à la littératie, les modalités de ses choix et de ses usages dénotent un moindre investissement. Il est apparu que l’initiation à la littératie dans le cadre scolaire ne compense qu’à certaines conditions les inégalités liées aux pratiques familiales. Tout fonctionne comme si les acquisitions les plus précoces étaient les plus déterminantes par rapport aux structurations ultérieures. Cette limite est liée à la complexité qui découle de l’intrication entre compétences langagières orales et écrites. D’autant que la notion de bonnes capacités langagières comprend également les conventions extralinguistiques et les implicites qui règlent les échanges avec autrui et permettent de partager des « états mentaux ».
La personne et les éthiques du care
Authors: Delassus Éric 
Published: November 2017

Dans la tradition occidentale, les hommes se sont longtemps perçus comme des exceptions à l’intérieur de la nature. Ils se sont définis comme des personnes, par opposition aux animaux et aux choses, en raison de caractéristiques qu’ils jugeaient chez eux essentielles. Néanmoins, il semble nécessaire aujourd’hui de remettre en question cette perception de l’homme et de sa condition. En effet, l’allongement de la durée de la vie et les pathologies qui l’accompagnent, les progrès de la médecine, nous invitent à penser autrement. Nous nous apercevons aujourd’hui que ces qualités que nous jugions inhérentes à la personne - conscience, raison, mémoire, libre arbitre - peuvent disparaître. Devons-nous en conclure que ceux qui voient ces aptitudes diminuer ou disparaître, sont moins des personnes que d’autres, voire ne sont plus des personnes ? Cette remise en question conduit à une nouvelle approche de la personne. Celle-ci ne serait plus définie en termes substantiels, mais de manière relationnelle. Être une personne, n’est-ce pas d’abord être par l’autre et pour l’autre ? Les éthiques du care , qui définissent les hommes comme des êtres vulnérables, c’est-à-dire dépendants et ayant besoin de la sollicitude de leurs semblables, n’offrent-elles pas la possibilité de construire un nouveau concept « revisité » de la personne ?
CXCR3/CXCL10 Axis Shapes Tissue Distribution of Memory Phenotype CD8+ T Cells in Nonimmunized Mice

Published: November 2017

Abstract
The preimmune repertoire consists of mature T lymphocytes that have not yet been stimulated in the periphery. Memory phenotype (MP) cells have been reported as part of the preimmune repertoire (i.e., T cells bearing memory markers despite lack of engagement with cognate Ag); however, little is known about their trafficking and function. In this study, we hypothesized that MP cells, naive to TCR stimulation, constitute a transient population that traffics to tissues during development. Using mutant and transgenic animals with a monospecific TCR, we discovered increased numbers of MP CD8+ T cells circulating in nonimmunized Cxcr3−/− and Cxcl10−/− mice compared with wild-type animals. Phenotypic differences included decreased numbers of preimmune MP Ag-specific T cells in the skin and thymus and a distinct pattern of activation upon TCR engagement. Our results show for the first time, to our knowledge, an important role for CXCR3 and CXCL10 in the tissue distribution of preimmune MP cells.
Molecular Detection of Chevon and Mutton Adulteration by Species-specific PCR Assay Targeting Mitochondrial COI Gene
Authors: Wang Lan-ping , Geng Rong-qing 
Published: November 2017

A highly species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed for authentic identification of raw and processed meat products of chevon and mutton. To achieve this, four species-specific primers for mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene were selected from previous reports. The assay generated PCR products of 157, 157, 268, 251, and 177 bp for chevon, mutton, pork, chicken and duck, respectively. The sensitivity for the detection of adulteration was established to be 0.1% (w/w), while the DNA limit for detection was as low as 0.001 ng. The adulteration was found in all meat product types including raw frozen meat, cold cuts, ground meats and cooked foods. These findings showed that species-specific PCR are potentially reliable method in detection of meat products of chevon and mutton authentication.

Published: November 2017

AbstractA unique direct printing method is developed to additively pattern silver nanowires (AgNWs) with length of up to ≈40 µm. Uniform and well‐defined AgNW features are printed on various substrates by optimizing a series of parameters including ink composition, printing speed, nozzle size, substrate temperature, and hydrophobicity of the substrate surface. The capability of directly printing such long AgNWs is essential for stretchable electronics applications where mechanical compliance is required as manifested by a systematic study comparing the electrical and electromechanical performance of printed AgNW features with different nanowire lengths. Such printed AgNWs are used to demonstrate biaxially stretchable conductors, ultrasensitive capacitive pressure sensor arrays, and stretchable electroluminescent displays, indicating their great potential for applications in low‐cost wearable electronics. This strategy is adaptable to other material platforms like semiconducting nanowires, which may offer a cost‐effective entry to various nanowire‐based mechanically compliant sensory and optoelectronic systems.
Direct Investigation of the Birefringent Optical Properties of Black Phosphorus with Picosecond Interferometry

Published: November 2017

AbstractBlack phosphorus (BP) is an emerging 2D semiconducting material with great potential for nanoelectronic and nanophotonic applications, especially owing to its unique anisotropic electrical and optical properties. Many theoretical studies have predicted the anisotropic optical properties of BP, but the direct experimental quantification remains challenging. The difficulties stem from the ease of BP's degradation when exposed to air in ambient conditions, and from the indirect nature of conventional approaches that are subject to large measurement uncertainties. This work reports a direct investigation of the birefringent optical constants of micrometer‐thick BP samples with picosecond (ps) interferometry, over the wavelength range from 780 to 890 nm. In this ps‐interferometry approach, an ultrathin (5 nm) platinum layer for launching acoustic waves naturally protects the BP flake from degradation. The birefringent optical constants of BP for light polarization along the two primary crystalline orientations, zigzag and armchair, are directly obtained via fitting the attenuated Brillouin scattering signals. A biexponential model is further proposed to analyze the Brillouin scattering signals for a random incident light polarization. The BP experimental results and the associated measurement sensitivity analysis demonstrate the reliability and accuracy of the ps‐interferometry approach for capturing the polarization‐dependent optical properties of birefringent materials.
“It's hard work, believe me!”: Active efforts to optimise housing by people who live with mental illness and access housing assistance

Published: November 2017

AbstractSecure and appropriate housing is critical for the well‐being of people living with mental illness (consumers). Yet it is often difficult to achieve. Housing assistance is available, but is often difficult for consumers to access and negotiate. While the need for support is well‐recognised, little is known about the active part consumers play in finding and keeping appropriate accommodation. This paper addresses the research question: How do consumers who use housing assistance actively manage their housing situations? In‐depth interviews were conducted with 18 consumers who had used housing assistance within the past five years. These were analysed using constant comparative analysis, based on a grounded theory approach. Participants engaged in a range of activities to address six major concerns: working toward my home; following the rules to keep what I have; managing and improving my accommodation; working with housing services; living within my current situation; and finding and using supports. All participants described times when their mental health negatively affected their ability to do these activities. The findings highlight the need for housing services and mental health services to collaborate to develop policies and protocols that place reasonable demands on consumers and support their abilities to actively manage their housing situations.
Refinements of the Weyl Pure Geometrical Thick Branes From Information‐Entropic Measure

Published: November 2017

AbstractThis work aims to analyse the so‐called configurational entropy in the Weyl pure geometrical thick brane model. The Weyl structure plays a prominent role in the brane thickness of this model. We find a set of parameters associated to the brane width where the configurational entropy exhibits critical points. The information‐theoretical measure sets bounds into parameter of Weyl pure geometrical brane model. In addition, we also argue that a similar approach can be useful to analyze the corrections to Newtonian and Coulombian potentials in Weyl scenarios.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe development of bioorthogonal approaches for labeling of endogenous proteins under the multimolecular crowding conditions of live cells is highly desirable for the analysis and engineering of proteins without using genetic manipulation. N‐Sulfonyl pyridone (SP) is reported as a new reactive group for protein sulfonylation. The ligand‐directed SP chemistry was able to modify not only purified proteins in vitro, but also endogenous ones on the surface of and inside live cells selectively and rapidly, which allowed to convert endogenous proteins to FRET‐based biosensors in situ.

Published: November 2017

AbstractRecent theoretical calculations predict that megabar pressure stabilizes very hydrogen‐rich simple compounds having new clathrate‐like structures and remarkable electronic properties including room‐temperature superconductivity. X‐ray diffraction and optical studies demonstrate that superhydrides of lanthanum can be synthesized with La atoms in an fcc lattice at 170 GPa upon heating to about 1000 K. The results match the predicted cubic metallic phase of LaH10 having cages of thirty‐two hydrogen atoms surrounding each La atom. Upon decompression, the fcc‐based structure undergoes a rhombohedral distortion of the La sublattice. The superhydride phases consist of an atomic hydrogen sublattice with H−H distances of about 1.1 Å, which are close to predictions for solid atomic metallic hydrogen at these pressures. With stability below 200 GPa, the superhydride is thus the closest analogue to solid atomic metallic hydrogen yet to be synthesized and characterized.

AbstractN‐Acyliminoiodinanes were characterized for the first time by X‐ray structural analysis. The ortho‐methoxymethyl group and the carbonyl oxygen coordinate to the iodine atom of the iminoiodinane. Activation of the N‐acyliminoiodinane was achieved by photoirradiation at 370 nm, thereby enabling reaction with various silyl enol ethers to give α‐aminoketone derivatives in good to high yield. N‐sulfonyliminoiodinanes bearing ortho substituents were used in photoinduced amination.
Surface functionalized nanocellulose as a veritable inclusionary material in contemporary bioinspired applications: A review
Authors: Chin Kwok‐Mern , Sung Ting Sam , Ong Hui Lin , Omar Mf 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACTThe past few decades have seen extraordinary gain in interest for bio‐based products, driven by the intensifying call of the society for petrochemical material replacement and developing materials with next‐to‐no environmental impact. Cellulose, which is an abundantly available “green” material, can be derived from plant fibers and tailored for a plethora of possible uses where it can be used as a substrate or as a filler material. However, emerging technologies and product advancements necessitate the search for materials that are small, biodegradable, lightweight, and strong. Nanocellulose, which can be obtained through as mechanical and chemical production methods with tensile strength and Young's modulus of up to 0.5 and 130 GPa, respectively, proves to be the answer that they were looking for. However, the inherent hydrophilic nature of nanocellulose limited its potential widespread application. Surface modifications of nanocellulose to alter and diminish its hydrophilicity were done to address the aforementioned issues. In this article, we had reviewed on different types of surface modifications and their resulting impact on the properties of nanocellulose and their effect on polymer composites. The importance of nanocellulose in emerging applications such as biosensor, nanoremediation, papermaking, and automotive as well as the current state of the industry and the commercialization progress of nanocellulose were also discussed. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
