ABSTRACT
We present the first direct comparison between Balmer line and panchromatic spectral energy distribution (SED)-based star formation rates (SFRs) for

galaxies. For this comparison, we used 17 star-forming galaxies selected from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey, with

detections for Hα and at least two IR bands (Spitzer/MIPS 24 μm and Herschel/PACS 100 and 160 μm, and in some cases Herschel/SPIRE 250, 350, and 500 μm). The galaxies have total IR (8–1000 μm) luminosities of

and SFRs of

. We fit the UV-to-far-IR SEDs with flexible stellar population synthesis (FSPS) models—which include both stellar and dust emission—and compare the inferred SFRs with the SFR(Hα, Hβ) values corrected for dust attenuation using Balmer decrements. The two SFRs agree with a scatter of 0.17 dex. Our results imply that the Balmer decrement accurately predicts the obscuration of the nebular lines and can be used to robustly calculate SFRs for star-forming galaxies at

with SFRs up to

. We also use our data to assess SFR indicators based on modeling the UV-to-mid-IR SEDs or by adding SFR(UV) and SFR(IR), for which the latter is based on the mid-IR only or on the full IR SED. All these SFRs show a poorer agreement with SFR(Hα, Hβ) and in some cases large systematic biases are observed. Finally, we show that the SFR and dust attenuation derived from the UV-to-near-IR SED alone are unbiased when assuming a delayed exponentially declining star formation history.
13. Quelle voie suivre pour renforcer les processus de restructuration de dette souveraine ?
Authors: Bardin Pierre 
Published: March 2016

Des événements comme le défaut argentin de 2001 ou le litige judiciaire qui a opposé plus récemment l’Argentine à ses créanciers procéduriers ont conduit la communauté financière internationale à s’interroger à nouveau sur le besoin d’établir un cadre réglementaire international pour faciliter les restructurations de dette souveraine. Si ces évènements plaident effectivement pour un renforcement de la coordination, l’approche « statutaire », reposant sur la création d’une instance supranationale, n’a guère de chance d’aboutir aujourd’hui en l’absence du consensus nécessaire à son efficacité. Une autre voie permet néanmoins de répondre efficacement aux insuffisances du cadre actuel, via le renforcement des clauses contractuelles des émissions obligataires et une coordination plus étroite entre débiteurs et créanciers, privés et souverains. Le Club de Paris, acteur pivot des restructurations de dette souveraine, y joue un rôle déterminant.
Towards defining the Mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease based on a contextual analysis of molecular pathways

Published: March 2016

AbstractAlzheimer's disease (AD) is posing an increasingly profound problem to society. Our genuine understanding of the pathogenesis of AD is inadequate and as a consequence, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are currently insufficient. The understandable focus of many studies is the identification of molecules with high diagnostic utility however the opportunity to obtain a further understanding of the mechanistic origins of the disease from such putative biomarkers is often overlooked. This study examines the involvement of biomarkers in AD to shed light on potential mechanisms and pathways through which they are implicated in the pathology of this devastating neurodegenerative disorder. The computational tools required to analyse ever-growing datasets in the context of AD are also discussed.

Published: March 2016

AbstractNeoseiulus fallacis (Garman) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is an efficient predator of the European red mite (ERM) (Panonychus ulmi (Koch); Acari: Tetranychidae) in Michigan, United States of America apple orchards and an important part of integrated pest management. Four reduced-risk insecticides (acetamiprid, spinetoram, chlorantraniliprole, and novaluron) and two conventional insecticides (esfenvalerate and carbaryl) were tested against N. fallacis for topical toxicity effects. Bioassays using a Potter spray tower were conducted to measure the topical toxicity of compounds when applied at field rate concentrations to N. fallacis. Lethal time was measured for adult N. fallacis at 4, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after treatment. Carbaryl and esfenvalerate showed the highest levels of toxicity to adult N. fallacis with shortest lethal time values (LT50) whereas the reduced risk insecticides novaluron, acetamiprid, spinetoram, and chlorantraniliprole were nontoxic. This study provides important information to apple growers regarding direct lethal effect of insecticides on predator mites and its implications to integrated mite management.
Cutting Edge: Foxp1 Controls Naive CD8+ T Cell Quiescence by Simultaneously Repressing Key Pathways in Cellular Metabolism and Cell Cycle Progression

Abstract
Previously we have shown that transcription factor Foxp1 plays an essential role in maintaining naive T cell quiescence; in the absence of Foxp1, mature naive CD8+ T cells proliferate in direct response to homeostatic cytokine IL-7. In this study, we report that the deletion of Foxp1 in naive CD8+ T cells leads to enhanced activation of the PI3K/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway and its downstream cell growth and metabolism targets in response to IL-7. We found that Foxp1 directly regulates PI3K interacting protein 1, a negative regulator of PI3K. Additionally, we found that deletion of Foxp1 in naive CD8+ T cells results in increased expression levels of E2fs, the critical components for cell cycle progression and proliferation, in a manner that is not associated with increased phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein. Taken together, our studies suggest that Foxp1 enforces naive CD8+ T cell quiescence by simultaneously repressing key pathways in both cellular metabolism and cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Because of the genetic variability of the HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env), the elicitation of neutralizing Abs to conserved neutralization determinants including the primary receptor binding site, CD4 binding site (CD4bs), is a major focus of vaccine development. To gain insight into the evolution of Env-elicited Ab responses, we used single B cell analysis to interrogate the memory B cell Ig repertoires from two rhesus macaques after five serial immunizations with Env/adjuvant. We observed that the CD4bs-specific repertoire displayed unique features in the third CDR of Ig H chains with minor alterations along the immunization course. Progressive affinity maturation occurred as evidenced by elevated levels of somatic hypermutation (SHM) in Ab sequences isolated at the late immunization time point compared with the early time point. Abs with higher SHM were associated with increased binding affinity and virus neutralization capacity. Moreover, a notable portion of the CD4bs-specific repertoire was maintained between early and late immunization time points, suggesting that persistent clonal lineages were induced by Env vaccination. Furthermore, we found that the predominant persistent CD4bs-specific clonal lineages had larger population sizes and higher affinities than that from the rest of the repertoires, underscoring the critical role of Ag affinity selection in Ab maturation and clonal expansion. Genetic and functional analyses revealed that the accumulation of SHM in both framework regions and CDRs contributed to the clonal affinity and antigenicity evolution. Our longitudinal study provides high-resolution understanding of the dynamically evolving CD4bs-specific B cell response after Env immunization in primates.
Gender violence news in British and American press

Published: March 2016

<p>Abstract: An investigation was performed to determine whether high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) at 70-98% in atmospheric air are a suitable alternative for stunning rabbits compared to conventional approaches such as electronarcosis. Aversion to the gas and efficacy in causing prolonged unconsciousness and death were studied in a total of 480 rabbits by means of behavioural parameters, physiological indicators (presence of rhythmic breathing and corneal reflex) and electroencephalography (EEG, brain function). The use of any of the 4 studied concentrations of the gas caused more nasal discomfort and vocalisations than the use of atmospheric air (P&lt;0.001). EEG activity confirmed that loss of posture is a good indicator of the onset of unconsciousness in rabbits exposed to CO<sub>2</sub>, occurring earlier (P&lt;0.05) at 90 and 98% than at 70 and 80%. Rabbits showed signs of aversion for 15 s before the onset of unconsciousness, which occurred around 30 s after the beginning of the exposure to the gas, similar to species such as swine in which high concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub> are also used for stunning. CO<sub>2</sub> at 80 to 98% is suggested as a reasonable concentration range to induce a long state of unconsciousness and death in rabbits, while 70% CO<sub>2</sub> is not recommended because it requires too long duration of exposure (more than 360 s) to ensure effectiveness. Despite the advantages in terms of pre-stun handling and irreversibility, CO<sub>2</sub> is not free of animal welfare concerns. In consequence, a debate is necessary to ascertain if CO<sub>2</sub> can be considered a suitable alternative to stun rabbits, considering the advantages and drawbacks cited, quantified in the present study as 15 s of aversion (nasal discomfort and vocalisations) before losing posture.</p>
Exporting Firm Dynamics and Productivity Growth: Evidence from China
Authors: Huang Xiaobing , Liu Xiaolian 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This paper assesses the productivity growth contributed by the dynamics of exporting firms using firm-level production data of Chinese firms from 2005 to 2009. The authors apply the dynamic Olley–Pakes decomposition with entry and exit proposed by Melitz and Polanec (Dynamic Olley–Pakes Productivity Decomposition with Entry and Exit, 2015), which allows them to decompose the change in aggregate productivity into contributions of surviving firms, entering firms and exiting firms. The study shows that in China, the combined contribution of the three components capturing reallocation amounts to almost half of the change in aggregate productivity. The between-firm market reallocation is found to contribute the most among the three components, followed by the exit of inefficient producers. It also shows that the aggregate productivity growth generated by the dynamics of exporting firms in foreign markets varies according to ownership, location and industry. More specifically, the data suggest that private firms, firms situated in the eastern region of China and firms from highconcentration industries provide a higher contribution to the growth of aggregate productivity.
Cruise Ships: Continuity and Change in the World System
Authors: Oyogoa Francisca 
Published: March 2016

Cruise ships present a useful context to study contemporary developments in globalization. U.S.-owned cruise companies have managed to create the “ideal” context for contemporary corporations: very little government oversight of labor relations, an available pool of very cheap labor dispersed across the globe, lax environmental regulations, high profit margins, and corporate tax rates around 1%. A typical cruise ship leaving the U.S. contains workers from 75 to 90 nationalities. Crewmembers performing menial service work are recruited exclusively from “poor countries” in Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Crewmembers typically sign 10-month contracts stipulating 10-14 hour workdays/7 days a week without vacation or sick days. There is a striking correlation between workers’ pay/status and their countries’ position within the world system. Staff members are usually white Westerners, while crewmembers are exclusively from the global south. On cruises the legacies of imperialism and colonialism are often the basis of workers’ racialization as appropriate servants.

The discovery of witches: Matthew Hopkins's Defense of his Witch-Hunting Methods
Authors: O'Brien Sheilagh Ilona 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
Matthew Hopkins took a leading role in finding and prosecuting witches during the East Anglia trials of the 1640s. Hopkins's methods and demonology, and the witch-hunt itself, have been described as an aberration in English witch prosecution, due to Hopkins's use of “continental” demonology and extreme measures. This article will argue that Hopkins used methods and demonology that were not “continental” or alien to English beliefs and trials. This article will also explore Hopkins's demonology and methods through a critical reading of his pamphlet The discovery of witches. Close analysis of this tract shows that Hopkins's demonology is in fact part of mainstream English demonology, and that his methods were influenced by both elite and popular conceptions of the crime of witchcraft and of how to deal with accused witches.
Aleister Crowley's Graphomania and the Transformations of Magical Inscriptivity
Authors: McWilliams Stuart 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
This article attempts a preliminary genealogy of the bibliophile activities of Aleister Crowley, who compulsively self-published books as well as periodicals. The article identifies a series of decisive transformations and shifts (from “codification” to “currency”) in the history of magical inscription and dissemination, each of which contributed to the book-thinking of occultism at the fin de siècle and beyond. More broadly, the article historicizes the development of occultism's “bibliographic imagination” and its complex attachment to the inscribed or printed page.
The Ghost of Col. Bowen: 1655, 1691, 1941/42
Authors: Pearson Jacqueline 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
In 1655 the ghost of her husband appeared to Catherine Bowen. In 1691 Richard Baxter, in The Certainty of the Worlds of Spirits, collated witness statements about this extraordinary event. This article investigates this account as both typical and atypical of seventeenth-century ghost stories, and how in this period narratives were constructed around allegedly true stories of the supernatural. It also follows the story into the twentieth century, when the colonel's descendant Elizabeth Bowen retold it. It suggests that, in both her family history Bowen's Court (1941) and her short fiction, especially “The Demon Lover” (1942), Bowen is not only influenced by but also comments, directly or indirectly, on the seventeenth-century case.
The dispersal ability: important factor of species richness and composition of woody plants in fragmented vegetation of the countryside of Seville (SW of Spain)
Authors: de los Reyes-Lara Darío 
Published: March 2016

Se estudiaron 100 fragmentos dentro de la campiña sevillana en relación a la vegetación de la sierra más cercana con el objetivo de identificar los factores que inciden en la riqueza y distribución de las plantas leñosas en comunidades fragmentadas. Los resultados mostraron que la riqueza de especies aumenta con el área y disminuye con el aislamiento. Los fragmentos presentaron un patrón anidado que estuvo correlacionado principalmente con el área mostrando que procesos de relajación son la causa del empobrecimiento. La capacidad de dispersión de las plantas tuvo importancia en la riqueza y composición de los fragmentos siendo las especies no-ornitócoras las más vulnerables a la fragmentación. Estos fragmentos tienden hacia la matorralización dominadas por especies ornitócorasA hundred vegetation fragments were studied in the countryside of Seville in relation to the vegetation of the nearest Sierra in order to identify factors that influence species richness and distribution of woody plants in fragmented communities. The results showed that species richness increases with the area and decreases with isolation. The fragments presented a nested pattern that was mainly correlated with the area showing that relaxation processes are the cause of impoverishment. The dispersal ability of the plants was important for the species richness and composition of the fragments being the non-ornithochorous species the most vulnerable to fragmentation processes. These fragments tend toward woody encroachment dominated by ornithochorous species
Capacitance characteristics of low-k low-cost CVD grown polyimide liner for high-density Cu through-Si-via in three-dimensional LSI

Published: March 2016

Abstract
Minimization of the parasitic capacitance arising from Cu–through-Si-vias (TSVs) has been rigorously considered in order to enhance the performances of three-dimensional (3D) LSIs. We have systematically investigated the role of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) polyimide (PI) liner in Cu-TSVs in reducing the TSV capacitance. It is confirmed that CVD grown PI greatly helps to reduce the TSV capacitance as compared to the conventional PECVD-SiO2 liner. In addition to that the presence of very small hysteresis and a negligible flat-band voltage shift along the voltage axis confirms the suitability of PI liner as dielectric in the Cu-TSVs, if it were operated below the bias voltages of ±20 V. In over all, the large reduction in capacitance along with the conformal deposition of PI in the TSVs having less than 3 µm-width with aspect ratios greater than 10 reveals that CVD grown PI has the potential application in the future 3D-LSIs with highly scaled TSV.
Discharging-phototransistor-integrated high-voltage Si photovoltaic cells for fast driving demonstration of an electrostatic MEMS actuator by wavelength modulation
Authors: Mori Isao , Lebrasseur Eric , Mita Yoshio 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
In this article, the authors propose a high-voltage photovoltaic (PV) cell array integrating discharging phototransistors for the fast driving of an electrostatic MEMS actuator by light with wavelength modulation. A PV cell array and phototransistors are connected in parallel and colored with green and red lacquer, respectively. This circuit repeats the charge and discharge of a MEMS actuator by being illuminated with light whose color periodically changes between red and green. This method requires only a small additional area and can discharge the actuator at an arbitrary timing. The authors extract the parameters of the circuit and also demonstrate the dynamic driving of a MEMS comb-drive actuator.

Abstract
To achieve both low power consumption and high-speed operation, we fabricated c-axis-aligned crystalline indium–gallium–zinc oxide (CAAC-IGZO) field-effect transistors (FETs) with In-rich IGZO and common IGZO (

in atomic ratio) active layers through a simple process using trench gates, and evaluated their characteristics. The results confirm that 60-nm-node IGZO FETs fabricated through a 450 °C process show an extremely low off-state current below the detection limit (at most 2 × 10−16 A) even at a measurement temperature of 150 °C. The results also reveal that the FETs with the In-rich IGZO active layer show a higher on-state current than those with the common IGZO active layer and have excellent frequency characteristics with a cutoff frequency and a maximum oscillation frequency of up to 20 and 6 GHz, respectively. Thus, we demonstrated that CAAC-IGZO FETs with trench gates are promising for achieving both low power consumption and high-speed operation.
