Leaf Flavonoid Patterns in the Species of <i>Stemonoporus</i> (Dipterocarpaceae) and Their Taxonomic Significance
Authors: Joshi Kunjani 
Published: January 2018

During the chemotaxonomic study of 16 species of Stemonoporus, three flavonoid aglycones (flavonol quercetin, flavonol kaempferol and flavone apigenin) and glycosides (quercetin 3- glucoside, quercetin 3-rutinoside and apigenin 5-glucoside) were isolated while flavonol myricetin, flavone luteolin and proanthcyanidin were not detected in any of the species surveyed. The isolated flavonoids can be used as chemotaxonomic markers. The species of Stemonoporus can be regarded as advanced in flavonoid pattern because of the absence of myricetin and loss of proanthocyanidins. The data of the flavonoid patterns and the outcome of cluster analysis are taxonomically useful to resolve the controversies over the systematic arrangement of the species and suggest the need for a revision of classification of the genus Stemonoporus. Key words: Dipterocarpaceae; Flavonols; Chemotaxonomy; Cluster analysis. Journal of Natural History MuseumVol. 24, 2009Page: 146-155
Identifying patterns of communication in patients attending memory clinics: a systematic review of observations and signs with potential diagnostic utility
Authors: Bailey Cate , Poole Norman , Blackburn Daniel J 
Published: January 2018

BackgroundSubjective cognitive complaints are commonly encountered in primary care and often result in memory clinic referral. However, meta-analyses have shown that such concerns do not consistently correspond to objective memory impairment or predict future dementia. Memory clinic referrals are increasing, with greater proportions of patients attending who do not have dementia. Studies of interaction during memory clinic assessments have identified conversational profiles that can differentiate between dementia and functional disorders of memory. To date, studies exploring communication patterns for the purpose of diagnosis have not been reviewed. Such profiles could reduce unnecessary investigations in patients without dementia.AimTo identify and collate signs and observable features of communication, which could clinically differentiate between dementia and functional disorders of memory.Design and settingThis was a systematic review and synthesis of evidence from studies with heterogeneous methodologies.MethodA qualitative, narrative description and typical memory clinic assessment were employed as a framework.ResultsSixteen studies met the criteria for selection. Two overarching themes emerged: 1) observable clues to incapacity and cognitive impairment during routine assessment and interaction, and 2) strategies and accounts for loss of abilities in people with dementia.ConclusionWhether the patient attends with a companion, how they participate, give autobiographical history, demonstrate working memory, and make qualitative observations during routine cognitive testing are all useful in building a diagnostic picture. Future studies should explore these phenomena in larger populations, over longer periods, include dementia subtypes, and develop robust definitions of functional memory disorders to facilitate comparison.
Les perplexités d'une enseignante

Entre l'interdiction pure et simple, au nom de la laïcité, de tout insigne religieux et l'acceptation de " petites nations" cohabitant tant bien que mal dans l'école de la République, il existe sans doute un moyen terme, fait de respect de la singularité et de laïcité "éclairée".

L'école pourrait être un laboratoire de civilité
Authors: Lorcerie Françoise 
Published: January 2018

Françoise Lorcerie rappelle qu'il existe à l'école, par nécessité , une pratique de la diversité, c'est-à-dire une "réélaboration" de la laïcité incluant simultanément acceptation des différences et visées universalistes.
Parallèlement, Anne-Marie Franchi évoque les positions de la Ligue de l'enseignement concernant la laïcité (voir encadré). Plutôt que "dure" ou "molle", intransigeante ou œcuménique, celle-ci doit avant tout être authentique.
Territoires occupés de la gauche française

L'attitude de la gauche française à l'égard de la "question immigrée" a jusqu'ici été trop souvent dictée par une mauvaise conscience paralysante, par un angélisme aveuglant
Les formules incantatoires et la démagogie doivent céder la place à la lucidité, à la mise à plat du passé colonial, à la pédagogie active, si on veut éviter les réveils brutaux qui ont pour nom intégrisme et "tribalisme" d'un côté, racisme et fascisme de l'autre.
La politique contractuelle de l'habitat à Mantes-La-Jolie

Published: January 2018

Le logement, tout le monde s'accorde à le dire, devient un enjeu essentiel, révélateur de la non-insertion des populations immigrées, ou au contraire vecteur de leur intégration dans la cité.
La ville de Mantes a mis en place un ensemble de mesures destinées à favoriser l'accès au logement de ceux qui en ont le plus besoin. La politique d'attribution est trop souvent dépendante d'une multitude d'organismes et soumise à des impératifs de rentabilité. A Mantes-la-Jolie, une Charte du logement, signée entre la Ville et les organismes HLM, est destinée à tenir compte des besoins de chacun.
Penser «l'intégration » des Immigrés
Authors: Beaud Stéphane , Noiriel Gérard 
Published: January 2018

La mémoire de l'immigration est un instrument essentiel à la compréhension des mécanismes qui président à l'«intégration» des étrangers. L'histoire du terme «assimilation », par exemple, de ce qu'il recouvre en France ou aux USA, permet de mettre à jour les concepts qui ont servi aux pères fondateurs de la sociologie française ou américaine pour défendre la cause des immigrants.
Cet article est un appel pour que l'on veuille bien enfin admettre qu'en matière d'immigration aussi il faut faire une place à la recherche fondamentale et la distinguer de la recherche appliquée.
Qui sont les Harkis ? Difficulté à les nommer et à les identifier
Authors: Wihtol de Wenden Catherine 
Published: January 2018

Concernant les «harkis» et leurs enfants, tout semble poser problème et renvoyer à un passé occulté. A commencer par les désignations successives dont on a affublé une population difficile à cerner, à identifier et même à dénombrer. Personne, par exemple, ne s'accorde sur les chiffres, tant ceux des effectifs supplétifs utilisés durant la guerre d'Algérie que ceux de la population «RONA» actuelle.

Enseignement de l’informatique, éducation aux technologies de l’information et de la communication en France, dans l’enseignement général du second degré
Authors: Drot-Delange Béatrice 
Published: January 2018

Quarante ans après les premières tentatives d’introduction d’une discipline informatique au lycée, elle n’est ni une discipline scolaire pour tous les élèves, ni une
éducation à… Les discussions sur ce que pourrait ou devrait être cet enseignement sont toujours d’actualité. Les représentations de l’informatique reflètent sa place ambiguë dans les institutions scientifiques. La place croissante de l’informatique dans la société rend pourtant nécessaire de s’interroger, à défaut de discipline, sur une éducation aux technologies de l’information et de la communication. En effet, le système éducatif tend à considérer que les élèves partagent une culture numérique, alors que les recherches montrent les limites de cette affirmation. D’autres éducations à… (éducation à l’information, éducation aux médias) traitent également des questions sociales posées par la société numérique, une convergence entre ces trois domaines constitue une voie à explorer.
A Possible Phase-dependent Absorption Feature in the Transient X-Ray Pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545

Published: January 2018

Abstract
We present an X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations of the transient Be X-ray binary SAX J2103.5+4545 during its 2016 April outburst, which was characterized by the highest flux since NuSTAR's launch. These observations provide detailed hard X-ray spectra of this source during its bright precursor flare and subsequent fainter regular outburst for the first time. In this work, we model the phase-averaged spectra for these observations with a negative and positive power law with an exponential cutoff (NPEX) model and compare the pulse profiles at different flux states. We found that the broadband pulse profile changes from a three-peaked pulse in the first observation to a two-peaked pulse in the second observation, and that each of the pulse peaks has some energy dependence. We also perform pulse-phase spectroscopy and fit phase-resolved spectra with NPEX to evaluate how spectral parameters change with pulse phase. We find that while the continuum parameters are mostly constant with pulse phase, a weak absorption feature at ∼12 keV might, with further study, be classified as a cyclotron line, does show strong pulse-phase dependence.

Abstract
We investigate the nature and evolution of large-scale structure within the SSA22 protocluster region at z = 3.09 using cosmological simulations. A redshift histogram constructed from current spectroscopic observations of the SSA22 protocluster reveals two separate peaks at z = 3.065 (blue) and z = 3.095 (red). Based on these data, we report updated overdensity and mass calculations for the SSA22 protocluster. We find

, and

for the red, blue, and total peaks, respectively. We use the Small MultiDark Planck (SMDPL) simulation to identify comparably massive

protoclusters, and uncover the underlying structure and ultimate fate of the SSA22 protocluster. For this analysis, we construct mock redshift histograms for each simulated

protocluster, quantitatively comparing them with the observed SSA22 data. We find that the observed double-peaked structure in the SSA22 redshift histogram corresponds not to a single coalescing cluster, but rather the proximity of a

protocluster and at least one

cluster progenitor. Such associations in the SMDPL simulation are easily understood within the framework of hierarchical clustering of dark matter halos. We finally find that the opportunity to observe such a phenomenon is incredibly rare, with an occurrence rate of

Abstract
TRAPPIST-1 is an ultracool dwarf star transited by seven Earth-sized planets, for which thorough characterization of atmospheric properties, surface conditions encompassing habitability, and internal compositions is possible with current and next-generation telescopes. Accurate modeling of the star is essential to achieve this goal. We aim to obtain updated stellar parameters for TRAPPIST-1 based on new measurements and evolutionary models, compared to those used in discovery studies. We present a new measurement for the parallax of TRAPPIST-1, 82.4 ± 0.8 mas, based on 188 epochs of observations with the TRAPPIST and Liverpool Telescopes from 2013 to 2016. This revised parallax yields an updated luminosity of

, which is very close to the previous estimate but almost two times more precise. We next present an updated estimate for TRAPPIST-1 stellar mass, based on two approaches: mass from stellar evolution modeling, and empirical mass derived from dynamical masses of equivalently classified ultracool dwarfs in astrometric binaries. We combine them using a Monte-Carlo approach to derive a semi-empirical estimate for the mass of TRAPPIST-1. We also derive estimate for the radius by combining this mass with stellar density inferred from transits, as well as an estimate for the effective temperature from our revised luminosity and radius. Our final results are

,

, and

2516 ± 41 K. Considering the degree to which the TRAPPIST-1 system will be scrutinized in coming years, these revised and more precise stellar parameters should be considered when assessing the properties of TRAPPIST-1 planets.
Studying the Transfer of Magnetic Helicity in Solar Active Regions with the Connectivity-based Helicity Flux Density Method
Authors: Dalmasse K. , Pariat É. , Valori G. , Jing J. , Démoulin P. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
In the solar corona, magnetic helicity slowly and continuously accumulates in response to plasma flows tangential to the photosphere and magnetic flux emergence through it. Analyzing this transfer of magnetic helicity is key for identifying its role in the dynamics of active regions (ARs). The connectivity-based helicity flux density method was recently developed for studying the 2D and 3D transfer of magnetic helicity in ARs. The method takes into account the 3D nature of magnetic helicity by explicitly using knowledge of the magnetic field connectivity, which allows it to faithfully track the photospheric flux of magnetic helicity. Because the magnetic field is not measured in the solar corona, modeled 3D solutions obtained from force-free magnetic field extrapolations must be used to derive the magnetic connectivity. Different extrapolation methods can lead to markedly different 3D magnetic field connectivities, thus questioning the reliability of the connectivity-based approach in observational applications. We address these concerns by applying this method to the isolated and internally complex AR 11158 with different magnetic field extrapolation models. We show that the connectivity-based calculations are robust to different extrapolation methods, in particular with regard to identifying regions of opposite magnetic helicity flux. We conclude that the connectivity-based approach can be reliably used in observational analyses and is a promising tool for studying the transfer of magnetic helicity in ARs and relating it to their flaring activity.
V1369 Cen High-resolution Panchromatic Late Nebular Spectra in the Context of a Unified Picture for Nova Ejecta
Authors: Mason Elena , Shore Steven N. , Aquino Ivan De Gennaro , Izzo Luca , Page Kim , Schwarz Greg J. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Nova Cen 2013 (V1369 Cen) is the fourth bright nova observed panchromatically through high-resolution UV+optical multiepoch spectroscopy. It is also the nova with the richest set of spectra (in terms of both data quality and number of epochs) thanks to its exceptional brightness. Here, we use the late nebular spectra taken between day ∼250 and day ∼837 after outburst to derive the physical, geometrical, and kinematical properties of the nova. We compare the results with those determined for the other panchromatic studies in this series: T Pyx, V339 Del (nova Del 2013), and V959 Mon (nova Mon 2012). From this we conclude that in all these novae the ejecta geometry and phenomenology can be consistently explained by clumpy gas expelled during a single, brief ejection episode and in ballistic expansion, and not by a wind. For V1369 Cen the ejecta mass (∼1 × 10−4
M⊙) and filling factor (0.1 ≤ f ≤ 0.2) are consistent with those of classical novae but larger (by at least an order of magnitude) than those of T Pyx and the recurrent novae. V1369 Cen has an anomalously high (relative to solar) N/C ratio that is beyond the range currently predicted for a CO nova, and the Ne emission line strengths are dissimilar to those of typical ONe or CO white dwarfs.
Solar Wind Turbulent Cascade from MHD to Sub-ion Scales: Large-size 3D Hybrid Particle-in-cell Simulations
Authors: Franci Luca , Landi Simone , Verdini Andrea , Matteini Lorenzo , Hellinger Petr 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Properties of the turbulent cascade from fluid to kinetic scales in collisionless plasmas are investigated by means of large-size 3D hybrid (fluid electrons, kinetic protons) particle-in-cell simulations. Initially isotropic Alfvénic fluctuations rapidly develop a strongly anisotropic turbulent cascade, mainly in the direction perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field. The omnidirectional magnetic field spectrum shows a double power-law behavior over almost two decades in wavenumber, with a Kolmogorov-like index at large scales, a spectral break around ion scales, and a steepening at sub-ion scales. Power laws are also observed in the spectra of the ion bulk velocity, density, and electric field, at both magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and kinetic scales. Despite the complex structure, the omnidirectional spectra of all fields at ion and sub-ion scales are in remarkable quantitative agreement with those of a 2D simulation with similar physical parameters. This provides a partial, a posteriori validation of the 2D approximation at kinetic scales. Conversely, at MHD scales, the spectra of the density and of the velocity (and, consequently, of the electric field) exhibit differences between the 2D and 3D cases. Although they can be partly ascribed to the lower spatial resolution, the main reason is likely the larger importance of compressible effects in the full 3D geometry. Our findings are also in remarkable quantitative agreement with solar wind observations.

Abstract
We present 5321 mas-resolution total intensity and linear polarization maps of 437 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) obtained with the VLBA at 15 GHz as part of the MOJAVE survey, and also from the NRAO data archive. The former is a long-term program to study the structure and evolution of powerful parsec-scale outflows associated with AGNs. The targeted AGNs are drawn from several flux-limited radio and γ-ray samples, and all have correlated VLBA flux densities greater than ∼50 mJy at 15 GHz. Approximately 80% of these AGNs are associated with γ-ray sources detected by the Fermi LAT instrument. The vast majority were observed with the VLBA on 5–15 occasions between 1996 January 19 and 2016 December 26, at intervals ranging from a month to several years, with the most typical sampling interval being six months. A detailed analysis of the linear and circular polarization evolutions of these AGN jets is presented in the other papers in this series.
