La biodiversité en question
Authors: Meinard Yves , Mestrallet Julien 
Published: December 2015

Les discours sur la gestion de la biodiversité accordent un rôle central à son statut de bien public. Une confusion entre la signification ordinaire de la notion de bien public et sa signification économique technique rend cependant cette idée ambiguë. Les raisonnements formels, non empiriques qui s’appuient sur la notion de bien public en son sens technique sont peu compatibles avec les raisonnements que les sciences biologiques appliquent à la notion de biodiversité. L’analyse de l’applicabilité de la notion de bien public au cas de la biodiversité permet cependant de proposer une définition alternative, dont nous revendiquons le statut interprétatif, provisoire et ouvert à la critique : un bien public est une notion abstraite utilisée pour modeler les débats de façon à promouvoir une certaine pratique collective globale, moralement chargée. Cette théorie pragmatique permet de repenser l’apport des approches économiques pour la gestion de la biodiversité.
Vitamin D Status, Bone Mineral Density and Mental Health in Young Australian Women: The Safe-D Study
Authors: Callegari Emma T. , Reavley Nicola , Garland Suzanne M. , Gorelik Alexandra , Wark John D. 
Published: December 2015

Background Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with both poor bone health and mental ill-health. More recently, a number of studies have found individuals with depressive symptoms tend to have reduced bone mineral density. To explore the interrelationships between vitamin D status, bone mineral density and mental-ill health we are assessing a range of clinical, behavioural and lifestyle factors in young women (Part A of the Safe-D study). Design and methods Part A of the Safe-D study is a cross-sectional study aiming to recruit 468 young females aged 16-25 years living in Victoria, Australia, through Facebook advertising. Participants are required to complete an extensive, online questionnaire, wear an ultra-violet dosimeter for 14 consecutive days and attend a study site visit. Outcome measures include areal bone mineral measures at the lumbar spine, total hip and whole body, as well as soft tissue composition using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Trabecular and cortical volumetric bone density at the tibia is measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Other tests include serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, serum biochemistry and a range of health markers. Details of mood disorder/s and depressive and anxiety symptoms are obtained by self-report. Cutaneous melanin density is measured by spectrophotometry. Expected impact The findings of this cross-sectional study will have implications for health promotion in young women and for clinical care of those with vitamin D deficiency and/or mental ill-health. Optimising both vitamin D status and mental health may protect against poor bone health and fractures in later life.

Authors: Cwiková Olga 
Published: December 2015

The purpose of this work was to study smear-ripened cheese, especially its microbiological quality. Samples were stored in different temperature conditions. The first group (A) of samples was stored in a refrigerator at 6 °C. The second group (B) of samples was stored at 6 °C for 21 days, next at -18 °C for 7 days and 7 days at 6 °C. The third group (C) of samples was stored at 6 °C before the date of minimum durability, next 7 weeks at -18 °C and after that at 6 °C for 7 days. I have observed lactic acid bacteria, Brevibacterium linens, coliforms, psychrotrophic organisms, Escherichia coli, moulds and yeast. The number of Brevibacterium linens was higher (p <0.05) at cool ing/freezing for 1 week (log CFU.g-1) than cooling (log CFU.g-1) and cooling/freezing for 7 weeks after 35 days. A higher (p <0.05) number of psychrotrophic microorganisms was recorded at the end of the monitoring in samples stored in a refrigerator (A/49) in comparison with cheeses stored using cooling/freezing regime for one week (B/49). Among the samples stored at these temperature regimes, there were no statistically significant differences (p >0.05) in the numbers of LAB, coliforms, E. coli, moulds and yeast, neither at the end of the DMD nor at storage for 49 or 91 days, respectively.

Published: December 2015

The Slovak wine-growing region is divided into six viticulture areas. The largest in size and the most important over the centuries has been the Small Carpathian area (around 5800 ha of vineyards) spreads in the western of Slovakia. The objectives of this study were: to gain more knowledge about mycobiota on grapes originating from Slovakia, with a focus on genera Aspergillus and Penicillium and their ability to produce mycotoxins in in vitro conditions by thin layer chromatography method. From the twelve vineyards were collected 14 samples of wine grapes (white 6, blue 8) during harvesting 2011, 2012 and 2013. Fifty wine grapes per bunch (approximately 7-8 berries per plate) that showed no symptoms were randomly selected on Dichloran Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol agar medium. The plates were then incubated aerobically at 25 ±1 °C for 5 to 7 days in the dark. Of these samples were identified 22 genera. Ninety-three percent of samples were colonies by the genus Penicillium and 79% by the genus Aspergillus. During the survey, 251 isolates belonging to 14 Penicillium species (P. aurantiogriseum, P. citrinum, P. coprophylum, P. crustosum, P. expansum, P. funiculosum, P. glabrum, P. griseofulvum, P. chrysogenum, P. oxalicum, P. polonicum, P. purpurogenum, P. roqueforti and P. thomii) and 37 isolates belonging to 7 Aspergillus species (A. clavatus, A. flavus, A. section Nigri, A. ostianus, A. parasiticus, A. versicolor and A. westerdijkiae) were isolated and identified from exogenous contamination. The main occurring penicillium species of the samples were P. chrysogenum (36% Fr), followed P. crustosum (29% Fr), P. griseofulvum (21% Fr) and P. expansum (21% Fr). The main occurring aspergillus species of the samples were A. section Nigri (64%). Thirteen potentially toxigenic species were tested for their toxigenic ability. It was confirmed the production of various mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1, G1, citrinin, griseofulvin, patulin, cyclopiazonic acid, penitrem A, roquefortin C and sterigmatocystin. Out of 124 strains, 84% produced at least one mycotoxin.

The aim of the present work was monitoring of chicken quarters microbiological indicators after treatment by ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia L.) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) essential oil, stored under vacuum packaging, at 4 ±0.5°C for a period of 16 days. The following treatments of chicken quarters were used: Air-packaging control samples, control vacuum-packaging samples, vacuum-packaging with EDTA solution 1.50% w/w, control samples, vacuum-packaging with Lavandula angustifolia essential oil at concentrations 0.2% v/w and vacuum-packaging with Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil at concentration 0.2% v/w. The quality assessment of all samples was established by microbiological analysis. Sampling was carried out after certain time intervals: 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 days. Chicken quarters were stored under vacuum packaging, at 4 ±0.5°C during experiment. Microbiological analyses were conducted by using standard microbiological methods. Anaerobic plate count were determined using Plate Count Agar, after incubation for 2 days at 35°C under anaerobic condition. Pseudomonas spp. were determined on Pseudomonas Isolation agar after incubation at 48 h at 25°C. For lactic acid bacteria were inoculated into Rogosa and Sharpe agar after incubation 48-78 h at 37°C in an aerobic atmosphere supplemented with carbon dioxide (5% CO2). For members of the family Enterobacteriaceae violet red bile glucose agar were used and samples were incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The initial APC value of chicken quarter was 3.00 log CFU.g-1 on 0 day. The number of anaerobic plate count ranged from 3.00 log CFU.g-1 in all tested group on 0 day to 6.11 log CFU.g-1 on 16 day in control group stored in air condition. The initial LAC value of chicken quarter was 3.00 log CFU.g-1 on 0 day. The number of lactic acid bacteria ranged from 3.00 log CFU.g-1 in all tested group on 0 day to 3.58 log CFU.g-1 on 16 day in control group stored in air condition. The initial Enterobacteriacea genera value of chicken quarter was 2.00 log CFU.g-1 on 0 day. Presences of these bacteria were found on all groups at 16 days. The results of this present study suggest the possibility of application the Lavandula angustifolia and Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil as natural food preservatives and potential sources of antimicrobial ingredients for food industry.

The aim of the study was to analyze the fresh honey after extracting and after half-year storage at room temperature. Overall, we analyzed 10 samples of rape (Brassica napus) honey coming from district Vranov nad Toplou located in the eastern Slovakia. The analysis consisted of the evaluation of the physico-chemical parameters (water content, free acidity and electrical conductivity) and microbiological evaluation (total plate count (TPC), counts of coliform bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, sporulating microorganisms and microscopic fungi). Water content, free acidity and electrical conductivity were measured according to IHC (2009), namely these parameters were detected by refractometer, titration and conductometer, respectively. We used dilution plating method for microbiological analysis. Fresh rape honey contained 18.3 ±1.0% of water. Free acidity of fresh rape honey was 12.7 ±2.0 meq.kg-1 and electrical conductivity was 0.14 mS.cm-1. After half a year of storage, water content and electrical conductivity decreased nonsignificantly and free acidity increased nonsignificantly. Stored honey samples meet the requirements of Decree 41/2012 and 106/2012. From microbiological point of view, fresh rape honey showed relatively high microbial counts. Mean values of TPC, sporulating microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts exceeded 2.00 log cfu/g. All spotted microbial groups decreased in the stored honey comparing with the fresh honey. We found significant (p ˂0.01) differences of TPC, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts comparing the fresh and stored honey samples. Evaluating microbiological parameters, one sample of stored honey did not meet the requirements of Codex Alimentarius SR (2014). TPC exceeded the limit value. Based on the results we can conclude that all samples meet the requirements for good quality honey. Microbial counts in the honey decreased gradually. Probably, various microorganisms have important role in creation of the honey from the nectar of plants, but non-sporulating microorganisms die in the ripe honey.
Colonial Desire or Political Disengagement? The Contested Landscape ofGuthlac A
Authors: Brady Lindy 
Published: December 2015

AbstractRecent postcolonial criticism has understood Guthlac’s legend as reflecting a nascent sense of Anglo-Saxon colonial aspiration, with the Mercian saint a successful embodiment of Anglo-Saxon land conquest over native British resistance. This article argues that the Old English poem Guthlac A does not easily fit this pattern but rather depicts both the land and its possession in more ambivalent ways. While other texts of the Guthlac legend do contain relatively straightforward narratives of land reclamation and demon conquest, Guthlac A provides no clear political agenda or allegory but instead depicts a contested landscape whose ambiguity undermines the potential for latent reflections of Anglo-Saxon hegemony. Guthlac A uniquely places conflicting conditions of ownership upon the contested beorg, complicating the process of its repossession, while this space is also depicted as simultaneously forbidding and congenial to both Guthlac and the demons throughout the poem, making the saint’s role as an agent of its manifest physical transformation far less clear. At every turn, the ambiguity of the landscape in this poem undermines the potential for colonial desires, as does the poem’s aversion to the violence of Guthlac’s past career as a warrior. I suggest that if this poem has any political context, it reflects Guthlac’s origins in Mercia, the Anglo-Saxon kingdom that saw its spatial boundaries and political allegiances shifting the most rapidly and unpredictably.
Transitory selection markers facilitate DNA mutagenesis with recombineering

Published: December 2015

Site-directed mutagenesis with DNA oligos is a powerful tool to generate subtle alterations in DNA. Taking advantage of strand replacement during lambda-red recombineering, mutations on DNA (donor) can be introduced into another DNA construct (acceptor) via targeting. We describe a novel approach that takes advantage of the specificity of homologous recombination and the convenience of positive selection to insert mutations into existing DNA constructs. With simple procedures, we generated a “transitory” selection marker that is used to carry modifications into acceptor DNA and then removed by enzyme manipulation, leaving only the desired mutation without any scar. Overall, this method of targeting mutagenesis via recombineering provides a precision manipulation of DNA and avoids the extensive PCR reaction. Not only can this method be used to make point mutations, truncations or Epitope-tags, but it can also be used to import existing mutations, generate in-frame fusion, or repair missing components.

L’adsorption sur carbones activés est un procédé courant pour éliminer les micropolluants de l’eau. Le but de cette étude est de mieux comprendre les propriétés d’adsorption de neuf micropolluants : l’ibuprofène (IBP), la carbamazépine (CBZ), l’ofloxacine (OFX), le bisphénol A (BPA), le diclofénac (DFN), le mecoprop (MCP), le pentachlorophénol (PCP), le benzotriazole (BZT) et la caféine (CAF) sur deux carbones activés microporeux : un feutre et un tissu. Les adsorbants ont été caractérisés et les isothermes et cinétiques d’adsorption de chaque molécule ont été étudiées à 25 °C et comparées. La capacité d’adsorption a été comparée au nombre de doubles liaisons des molécules dans le but de déterminer l’importance du π-stacking dans le phénomène de l’adsorption.

Published: December 2015

The 15th North American Caribou Workshop (NACW) was held from 12-16 May 2014, in the traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council, in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. This biennial meeting is the largest technical conference of its kind dealing specifically with caribou biology and management. The first NACW was held in Whitehorse over three decades ago in 1983, and 13 subsequent workshops have been held across North America until now. With nearly 400 delegates from Canada, the United States, Norway, and Greenland attending the 2014 conference, it is evident that this “North American” gathering has truly become an international event. Furthermore, delegates attending this 15th NACW represented federal, provincial, territorial, state and First Nation governments, academia, non-governmental organizations, co-management boards and councils, private consultants, and industry, creating a relatively unique conference setting bringing together a variety of perspectives and concerns. The breadth of the participants in terms of geography, expertise and affiliation resulted in a rich base of human capacity to discuss issues related to caribou conservation and management.Given that it had been nearly three decades since the inception of this workshop, and with its return to the location of the first NACW, the organizing committee felt it was a fitting opportunity to look back and assess what had been achieved with respect to caribou conservation and management. As such, the theme of the 15th NACW was “Caribou Conservation and Management: What’s Working?” The opening session of the conference focussed on invited presentations explicitly addressing this question, and included topics on structured decision making, forest management, harvest monitoring, carnivore management, regional land use planning and management, and aboriginal perspectives on a long-term collaborative caribou recovery program in the southwest Yukon. We challenged our speakers to share what was working and why, and the information provided was valuable and timely, prompting many questions and discussion throughout the conference.

Published: December 2015

Abstract
Tetragonal ultrathin (1–5 nm) ordered MnGa films on a CsCl-type CoGa buffer layer were fabricated by a sputtering method. The (001)-CoGa layer was first deposited on a Cr-buffered MgO substrate and then annealed in-situ at 500 °C. The ultrathin MnGa film deposited on the CoGa buffer layer formed the L10 structure with very small roughness even when grown at room temperature. In addition, the films showed well-squared perpendicular magnetization hysteresis curves even when the film thickness was as little as 1 nm. The obtained results are important for the development of the MnGa-based spin-transfer torque devices for Gbit class magnetic random access memory and high frequency applications.
Prediction of low-energy boron doping profile for ultrashallow junction formation by hybrid molecular dynamics method
Authors: Yabuhara Hidehiko , Miyamoto Akira 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Our original hybrid method combining tight-binding quantum chemical and classical molecular dynamics was first applied to the low-energy doping process of boron into a silicon substrate, which has a depth of more than 10 nm that is needed to evaluate an ultrashallow junction position. Tight-binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics calculation was used for an injected boron atom and surrounding silicon atoms within a sphere with a radius of 0.5 nm centered at the boron atom. This method is advantageous in treating the many-body collision effect and electron–electron interaction, which are more important in low-energy doping, compared with the Monte Carlo method with binary collision approximation. A comparison with a plasma doping experiment was also carried out. The junction positions were 6.2 nm for boron doping at an initial kinetic energy of 200 eV in the simulation results and 6.4 nm for 200 eV in the experimental results. Good agreement between simulation and experimental results indicates that our hybrid molecular dynamics method is applicable to doping profile prediction in a silicon structure with a depth of more than 10 nm that is needed to evaluate ultrashallow junction formation.

Published: December 2015

Abstract
Since nanopatterns are used for various purposes including solar cells, super-hydrophilicity, and biosensors, it is necessary to miniaturize the patterns on glass devices from micro- to nano-order. We have studied glass imprinting as an excellent microfabrication technology for glass devices. Uniformity of the nanopattern height is required for a mold, since a nodular structure on the Ni–W surface is recognized as a problem in Ni–W nanopattern formation. We confirmed that the Ni–W plating bath increasing metal ion concentration is effective for inhibition of the nodular structure on the Ni–W film, and succeeded in Ni–W nano pattern formation with uniform height. However, the W content rate of plated Ni–W film was reduced in exchange for enhancing the flatness of the Ni–W film. It is necessary to examine the Ni–W plating condition for obtaining planarization of the Ni–W surface and a high content rate of W in the Ni–W film.
Oxygen and nitrogen plasma etching of three-dimensional hydroxyapatite/chitosan scaffolds fabricated by additive manufacturing
Authors: Myung Sung-Woon , Kim Byung-Hoon 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) chitosan and hydroxyapatite (HAp)/chitosan (CH) scaffolds were fabricated by additive manufacturing, then their surfaces were etched with oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) plasma. O2 and N2 plasma etching was performed to increase surface properties such as hydrophilicity, roughness, and surface chemistry on the scaffolds. After etching, hydroxyapatite was exposed on the surface of 3D HAp/CH scaffolds. The surface morphology and chemical properties were characterized by contact angle measurement, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and attenuated total reflection Fourier infrared spectroscopy. The cell viability of 3D chitosan scaffolds was examined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The differentiation of preosteoblast cells was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase assay. The cell viability was improved by O2 and N2 plasma etching of 3D chitosan scaffolds. The present fabrication process for 3D scaffolds might be applied to a potential tool for preparing biocompatible scaffolds.
Effects of intentionally introduced nitrogen and substrate temperature on growth of diamond bulk single crystals

Published: December 2015

Abstract
Aiming at stable growth of bulk single-crystal diamond, multiple effects of intentional nitrogen introduction and substrate temperature on the growth were studied. The intensity of fluorescence of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV0) center was qualitatively correlated with the concentrations of nitrogen in the grown layers. Growth rates and morphologies varied with nitrogen concentration in the gas phase and substrate temperature. It was shown that appropriate control of substrate temperature allows continuous growth, which makes the substrate thicker. The mechanism underlying the effect of nitrogen on growth rate is discussed on the basis of the obtained results, which suggest also the importance of substrate temperature in controlling migration and the surface reactions of radicals.
