La dialectique dans la comparaison. Construction d’une enquête franco-italienne et échelles d’analyse
Authors: Mattina Cesare 
Published: May 2016

La présente contribution soutient l’importance d’une approche inductive et dialectique de la comparaison. Une approche inductive de la comparaison a l’avantage de nous faire plonger dans des situations concrètes au travers d’une recherche empirique localisée et de faire remonter les données de recherches effectuées vers les résultats empiriques d’autres auteurs et la mise en débat des théories. Une approche dialectique de la comparaison prévoit que la confrontation des différents terrains d’enquête mobilisés puisse représenter une opportunité d’interroger constamment les phénomènes observés dans l(es)’autre(s) terrain(s), tout particulièrement lorsqu’ils sont dissemblables et divergents. Cet argumentaire s’appuie sur l’analyse concrète de notre processus comparatif d’enquête : nous restituons le contexte de contraintes et d’opportunités nous ayant conduit, à partir d’une enquête sur les relations entre sites industriels à risques et territoires dans le Val de Durance, à prolonger la comparaison dans une dimension transnationale avec le site chimique de Rosignano en Toscane (Italie).
Les visages de l’occupation nazie en Pologne, 1939-1945 : les expériences des Polonais. Le destin de la population juive
Authors: Kochanowski Jerzy 
Published: May 2016

L’auteur analyse la situation sociale et économique des Polonais vivant dans la zone d’occupation nazie. Celle-ci couvrait deux parties du territoire polonais : la partie incorporée au IIIe Reich et le Gouvernement Général et on observe une différenciation dans la situation des Polonais vivant dans ces parties respectives. L’auteur passe en revue quelques catégories sociales majeures : les élites, les paysans, les ouvriers, la petite-bourgeoisie. Un sous-chapitre à part est consacré à la situation des Juifs comme objets de la politique nazie et aux relations polono-juives.
Le Régent, la marine et les colonies 1 er septembre 1715-2 décembre 1723
Authors: Villiers Patrick 
Published: May 2016

Pour devenir le Régent du royaume, Philippe d’Orléans a accepté la polysynodie, système à sept Conseils dont le Conseil de Marine. Comment fut-il constitué, quels furent ses membres, quel fut le pouvoir réel du comte de Toulouse, Amiral de France ? Avec habileté, Philippe d’Orléans imposa progressivement sa volonté au Conseil de Marine. La reprise économique lui permit d’imposer « l’exclusif colonial » aux colonies mais confronté à la guerre contre l’Espagne, à l’échec du système de Law ou à la peste de Marseille, la politique maritime et coloniale du Régent fut plus une politique subie qu’une politique voulue.
Acteurs et espaces de la renommée universitaire. Jalons pour une histoire des messagers de l’université de Paris à la fin du Moyen Âge
Authors: Destemberg Antoine 
Published: May 2016

L’historiographie attribue traditionnellement à l’université médiévale de Paris l’initiative d’un développement précoce du réseau de messagers qui, couvrant un large espace européen, assura le lien entre des écoliers déracinés et leur milieu d’origine. Si la documentation atteste, dès la fin du xiii	e	siècle, l’activité de messagers au service des membres de l’université parisienne, elle ne permet pas, toutefois, d’observer l’existence d’une messagerie institutionnalisée avant le milieu du xv	e	siècle. Organisé au sein des nations universitaires, le réseau de messagers couvrait chaque diocèse pourvoyeur en maîtres et écoliers, ainsi que quelques villes importantes. L’examen de la documentation universitaire de la pratique permet d’esquisser une anthropologie de l’information, attentive aux acteurs, à leurs gestes et aux conditions d’exercice de leur fonction. Elle permet de révéler les contours d’une institution pléthorique, qui constitua, dans les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge, un enjeu de pouvoir et un instrument de contrôle de la renommée universitaire.

Abstract
We characterized the spectral structure of the soft X-ray emission and determined the plasma parameters in laser-produced highly charged platinum plasmas. The spectral structure observed originated from Pt21+ to Pt34+ ions, emissions from which overlapped to produce a high output flux in the carbon-window soft X-ray spectral region. Using dual laser pulse irradiation, we observed the maximum output flux, which was 20% larger than that obtained under single-laser irradiation, and the evolution of a strongly absorbed spectral structure, which was attributed to the effects of both opacity and long-scale length of the expanding pre-plasma.

BackgroundFamilial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive form of recurrent episodes of fever and an autoinflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of the serous membranes. The clinical diagnosis is supported by the laboratory findings. This study investigated the relationship of Serum Amyloid A (SAA), YKL‐40, and Pentraxin‐3 (PTX‐3) with the FMF disease.MethodsAbout 50 patients with FMF were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into three groups according to disease severity score (mild, moderate, and severe). Thirty‐seven healthy individuals were included as the control group. Serum SAA, YKL‐40, and PTX‐3 concentrations were measured using an ELISA kit.ResultsSerum SAA and YKL‐40 levels of FMF patients were significantly higher than in the control (P < 0.001). PTX‐3 levels were found to be higher in patients even though there was no significant difference (P = 0.113). Whereas the positive predictive value was 71.9% for cut‐off point of SAA, the positive predictive value was 83.3% for cut‐off point of YKL‐40. Whereas a significant correlation was detected in SAA and PTX‐3 with YKL‐40 (respectively; P = 0.036, P < 0.001), there was no correlation between the PTX‐3 with SAA (P = 0.219).ConclusionsYKL‐40 can be used together with SAA to support the diagnosis of FMF and to monitor the severity of the disease. In this study, YKL‐40 levels were examined for the first time in FMF patients and further studies are necessary using larger patient samples.
Removing Grazing Pressure from a Native Pasture Decreases Soil Organic Carbon in Southern New South Wales, Australia

Published: May 2016

AbstractGrazing management is a known influence of carbon accumulation in agricultural soil, but there is conflicting evidence on the extent. This study compared organic carbon and nitrogen stocks at the conclusion of a 5‐year grazing trial on a fertilised native pasture in south‐eastern Australia. The study included three grazing treatments: ungrazed, tactically grazed (set stocking with biannual rest periods) and cell grazed (intense stocking with frequent long rest periods). There was no influence of grazing treatment detected on pasture sward composition when averaged over seasons or on total nitrogen or bulk density. The cell grazing treatment had total carbon stock of 32·9 Mg C ha−1 (SE = 1·8) in the 0–0·30 m soil layer, which was a significant increase (p < 0·05) relative to the ungrazed treatment at 25·6 Mg C ha−1 but not statistically greater than the tactical treatment at 29·5 Mg C ha−1. There was no difference detected in labile carbon stocks to 0·30 m, which indicates that differences in soil carbon due to grazing was accumulated over the 5‐year trial rather than reflecting short‐term seasonal impacts. We propose that a combination of factors contributed to a greater stock of soil carbon under grazed pastures including differences in plant shoot/root allocation, root growth and root turnover with defoliation under grazing as well as lower plant productivity where grazing is excluded because of shading and nutrient tie‐up. This study demonstrates removing grazing pressure may lead to lower soil carbon stocks in native pastures over time and provides evidence of the potential for grazing management to increase soil carbon in the short‐term.

The fabrication and characterization of wide‐bandgap MgZnO:Ga TCO layer via co‐sputtering technique for CIGS solar cells
Authors: Shim Bo‐Hyun , Chae Jong‐Mok , Jo Hee‐Jin 
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACTMgZnO:Ga films were deposited on the glass by RF magnetron sputtering. Effects of growth temperature (from room temperature to 200°C) on the electrical, optical, and structural properties of MgZnO:Ga films were investigated. Depending on increasing of growth temperature, the films showed a low resistivity of 1.15 × 10−3 Ω‐cm. The optimized MgZnO:Ga films exhibited a high transmittance over 85% in the near‐ultraviolet and visible region. Also, the performance of CuIn1 − xGaxSe2 (CIGS) photovoltaic device fabricated with MgZnO:Ga transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer was improved by higher band gap and outstanding electron mobility. Improved short circuit current has resulted in high performance of device with energy conversion efficiency (ηe) of 10.2%. Therefore, the high conductivity and optical transmission by MgZnO:Ga films are applied to optoelectronic device as vital characteristics. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Guo Haichao , Wang Yiguang , Li Xiaojun , Zhang Li , Fang Yuan , Chi Nan 
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACTIn this article, for the first time the generation, multiplexing, and detection of 75GBaud Nyquist QPSK signal transmission over two orthogonal Laguerre–Gaussian modes carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) were experimentally demonstrated. To further increase spectrum efficiency, Nyquist signal was generated by all‐optical method to produce sinc‐shaped Nyquist pulses and received by full‐band signal coherent detection with digital signal processing. Two OAM modes with same absolute value of charge but opposite sign were generated, multiplexed, and demultiplexed. The bit error ratio performance of the received signal was under forward error correction threshold with optical signal‐to‐noise ratio of 20 and 22 dB for +8 mode and −8 mode, respectively. To our best knowledge, this is the highest baud rate ever achieved in OAM based wireless optical transmission systems, which clearly validate the feasibility and benefit of Nyquist signal transmission with OAM mode multiplexing to increase the spectrum efficiency and system capacity. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Filgueira J. D. B. , Campos A. L. P. S. , Neto A. Gomes , Maniçoba R. H. C. 
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACTThe Taguchi's method is based on the orthogonal arrays (OAs) concept. This method is a procedure that effectively reduces the number of test iterations required in an optimization process. Even though the method has a quite wide spectrum of applications in general, the use of Taguchi's method in electromagnetic theory is rare. In frequency selective surfaces (FSS) optimization, the Taguchi's method is unpublished. In this study, the method is applied for FSS design with two different geometries, the square loop and the gridded square loop. The obtained results show that the FSS design parameters are extracted in a successful manner. Finally, prototypes are built and the technique is validate. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractMajor histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) proteins have been implicated in neuronal function through the modulation of neuritogenesis, synaptogenesis, synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation during development. However, the involvement of MHCI in the aged brain is unclear. Here we demonstrate that MHCI deficiency results in significant dendritic atrophy along with an increase in thin dendritic spines and a reduction in stubby spines in the hippocampus of aged (12 month old) mice. Ultrastructural analyses revealed a decrease in spine head diameter and post synaptic density (PSD) area, as well as an increase in overall synapse density and non-perforated, small spines. Interestingly, we found that the changes in synapse density and morphology appear relatively late (after the age of 6 months). Finally, we found a significant age dependent increase in the levels of the glutamate receptor, GluN2B in aged MHCI knockout mice, with no change in GluA2/3, VGluT1, PSD95 or synaptophysin. These results indicate that MHCI may be also be involved in maintaining brain integrity at post-developmental stages notably in the modulation of neuronal and spine morphology and synaptic function during non-pathological aging which could have significant implications for cognitive function.
Identification of lactate dehydrogenase as a mammalian pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-binding protein

Published: May 2016

AbstractPyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a redox-active o-quinone, is an important nutrient involved in numerous physiological and biochemical processes in mammals. Despite such beneficial functions, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be established. In the present study, using PQQ-immobilized Sepharose beads as a probe, we examined the presence of protein(s) that are capable of binding PQQ in mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and identified five cellular proteins, including l-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) A chain, as potential mammalian PQQ-binding proteins. In vitro studies using a purified rabbit muscle LDH show that PQQ inhibits the formation of lactate from pyruvate in the presence of NADH (forward reaction), whereas it enhances the conversion of lactate to pyruvate in the presence of NAD+ (reverse reaction). The molecular mechanism underlying PQQ-mediated regulation of LDH activity is attributed to the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ by PQQ. Indeed, the PQQ-bound LDH oxidizes NADH, generating NAD+ and significantly catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate. Furthermore, PQQ attenuates cellular lactate release and increases intracellular ATP levels in the NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. Our results suggest that PQQ, modulating LDH activity to facilitate pyruvate formation through its redox-cycling activity, may be involved in the enhanced energy production via mitochondrial TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
