Evolution of Post-accretion-induced Collapse Binaries: The Effect of Evaporation
Authors: Liu Wei-Min , Li Xiang-Dong 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Accretion-induced collapse (AIC) is widely accepted to be one of the formation channels for millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Since the MSPs have high spin-down luminosities, they can immediately start to evaporate their companion stars after birth. In this paper, we present a detailed investigation on the evolution of the post-AIC binaries, taking into account the effect of evaporation both before and during the Roche-lobe overflow process. We discuss the possible influence of the input parameters including the evaporation efficiency, the initial spin period, and the initial surface magnetic field of the newborn neutron star. We compare the calculated results with the traditional low-mass X-ray binary evolution and suggest that they may reproduce at least part of the observed redbacks and black widows in the companion mass–orbital period plane depending on the mechanisms of angular momentum loss associated with evaporation.
Testing the Viewing Angle Hypothesis for Short GRBs with LIGO Events
Authors: Eichler David 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
It has been suggested that short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have shorter or undetectable spectral lags than longer GRBs because for the former, the observer's line of sight makes a larger angle with the GRB jet axis than it does for the latter. It is proposed that simultaneous gravitational-wave–short-GRB events could provide a simple test of this hypothesis. Multimessenger astronomy eventually may test whether event horizons are a necessary ingredient for GRBs.

Abstract
In this work, we report the discovery and characterization of PSR J1411+2551, a new binary pulsar discovered in the Arecibo 327 MHz Drift Pulsar Survey. Our timing observations of the radio pulsar in the system span a period of about 2.5 years. This timing campaign allowed a precise measurement of its spin period (62.4 ms) and its derivative (9.6 ± 0.7) × 10−20 s s−1; from these, we derive a characteristic age of >9.1 Gyr and a surface magnetic field strength of <2.6 × 109 G. These numbers indicate that this pulsar was mildly recycled by accretion of matter from the progenitor of the companion star. The system has an eccentric (e = 0.17) 2.61 day orbit. This eccentricity allows a highly significant measurement of the rate of advance of periastron,

. Assuming general relativity accurately describes the orbital motion, this implies a total system mass M = 2.538 ± 0.022 M
⊙. The minimum companion mass is 0.92 M
⊙ and the maximum pulsar mass is 1.62 M
⊙. The large companion mass and the orbital eccentricity suggest that PSR J1411+2551 is a double neutron star system; the lightest known to date including the DNS merger GW170817. Furthermore, the relatively low orbital eccentricity and small proper motion limits suggest that the second supernova had a relatively small associated kick; this and the low system mass suggest that it was an ultra-stripped supernova.

Published: December 2017

Postos de combustíveis encontram-se espalhados pelas estradas de todo o país e devido aos produtos que distribuem tem riscos inerentes a sua atividade, porém não existem muitos estudos que tratem do assunto tanto em estradas como em áreas urbanizas, como é o caso de Itaipuaçu. Logo este estudo se propõe a analisar os riscos envolvidos nos processos de um posto de combustíveis no distrito de Itaipuaçu desde o descarregamento até a revenda de produtos através do abastecimento de automóveis, assim identificando os perigos, causas e efeitos envolvidos. Para este trabalho se valeu da coleta de dados e posterior aplicação do método de análise de perigos e operabilidade (HazOp). É evidenciado nos resultados que o risco com maior criticidade neste tipo de empreendimento está relacionado a incêndios, explosões e eventos semelhantes, e são propostas como medidas preventivas: a melhora na manutenção e inspeção, a capacitação do operador e a instalação de ferramentas de proteção para os equipamentos.
Conseiller, expert ou maître ? Interrogations autour de la dimension politique des Phénomènes
Authors: Lorgeoux Bouayad Laetitia 
Published: December 2017

Résumé Les Phénomènes d’Aratos, commande d’Antigone Gonatas, avaient tout pour être une œuvre politique : l’amitié entre les deux hommes, le sujet du poème, et le genre didactique, propice à la distillation de conseils. Pourtant, on n’y trouve guère de réflexion politique ; il n’y a même aucune trace d’une adresse au roi. Ce paradoxe mérite qu’on étudie la réelle relation entre prince et poète, et que l’on en cherche d’éventuelles traces dans les Phénomènes . Il y aura alors lieu de s’interroger sur les silences de l’auteur ; et l’on se demandera dans quelle mesure cette modestie ressemble moins au précepteur stoïcien que l’on voit traditionnellement en Aratos qu’au poète de la cité idéale de Platon.
Les conseils des haruspices pour les prodiges de 56 av. J.-C.
Authors: Poulle Bruno 
Published: December 2017

Résumé L’examen du discours de Cicéron Sur la réponse des haruspices montre que le texte de cette réponse cité par l’orateur est littéral mais incomplet, en particulier pour la liste des prodiges : pour l’un d’entre eux, on propose de retrouver le mode d’expiation qui, lui aussi, est absent du texte. Ce discours est, en tout cas, un très précieux témoignage de la manière dont les prêtres étrusques remplissaient leur rôle de conseillers et d’experts, en cherchant dans leurs documents anciens les directives qui s’appliquaient le mieux au présent, tout en laissant aux autorités romaines d’assez grandes marges d’interprétation et d’application.
Counsellor, Teacher, Friend. The apragmôn as Political Figure in Isocrates
Authors: Blank Thomas 
Published: December 2017

Résumé Cet article vise à éclaircir comment la manière même dont Isocrate se façonne en apragmôn sert à définir une position politiquement pertinente pour l’intellectualisme aristocratique dans l’Athènes du iv e siècle. Les textes isocratiques qui s’adressent à des monarques contemporains doivent être interprétés non comme témoignages d’un supposé changement de focalisation, d’Athènes vers un leadership monarchique, mais comme symboles du besoin politique d’un conseil qualifié, symbolisme qui souligne la pertinence politique d’une éducation éthique dans la démocratie athénienne d’après 403.
Sumbouloi : la perception de soi chez les orateurs attiques
Authors: Bianco Elisabetta 
Published: December 2017

Résumé Quand on parle d’orateurs attiques, on pense au mot grec rhètores , mais en fait, si l’on analyse la perception qu’ils semblent avoir d’eux-mêmes, ce qui nous frappe, c’est l’effort que certains d’entre eux déploient pour ne pas être définis de cette manière et pour caractériser négativement par ce terme leurs ennemis politiques. En réalité, le choix d’utiliser ce titre comme une accusation paraît plutôt curieux, dans la mesure où celui qui la lance semble toujours oublier son propre statut de rhètôr pour dénoncer celui de l’adversaire. Pour remédier à cette évidente contradiction, il a donc fallu choisir un nouveau mot positif et, à travers l’analyse de diverses sources oratoires, il est prévu ici de mettre en évidence le rôle de Démosthène, qui imprime une nette impulsion à la diffusion du mot sumboulos (« conseiller », déjà utilisé, quoique rarement, chez ses prédécesseurs), pour caractériser celui qui sait parler en public en vue du bien supérieur de sa polis .
Cléandridas le Spartiate : un cas énigmatique
Authors: Mataranga Kalomira 
Published: December 2017

Résumé Cléandridas est un personnage controversé : conseiller du roi de Sparte Pleistoanax lors de l’invasion péloponnésienne de l’Attique en 446, il fut accusé d’avoir reçu de l’argent de Périclès – donc d’avoir été corrompu – pour que les Péloponnésiens se retirent sans combattre. Le présent article se propose, dans cette assez troublante affaire d’invasion manquée, de revenir tant sur le rôle joué par le conseiller Cléandridas que par le « conseillé », le roi Pleistoanax ; l’examen des textes vise à faire émerger les mobiles possibles des parties prenantes, ainsi qu’à envisager les répercussions politiques et les enjeux internationaux de l’affaire. Enfin, en retraçant les étapes de la carrière de Cléandridas, nous ambitionnons ici de rendre quelque peu plus nette son image assez ambiguë, qui balance entre le stéréotype du « mauvais conseiller » et celui du commandant habile et compétent.
Antoninos, un ambassadeur alexandrin citoyen romain ayant trahi l’Empire
Authors: Rodriguez Chris 
Published: December 2017

Résumé Le payrus CPJ II 158, ou Acta Pauli et Antonini , est l’une des composantes les plus méconnues du corpus papyrologique des Acta Alexandrinorum . Ce document, très lacunaire, met aux prises deux ambassades, l’une juive et l’autre alexandrine, à la suite d’émeutes ayant troublé Alexandrie à la fin de l’été 115. Trois figures alexandrines émergent dans ce document : Paulos, Théon et surtout Antoninos. Les informations sur ces ambassadeurs de la cité d’Égypte sont minces, voire quasi-inexistantes. Si les dénommés Paulos et Théon semblent connus par la Souda , Antoninos reste depuis longtemps un personnage mystérieux. L’objectif de cette communication sera de montrer que Antoninos, prêt à mourir pour Alexandrie, était en réalité un citoyen romain, considéré comme un traître par les autorités romaines. Loin d’être le seul dans ce cas, Antoninos s’inscrivait dans une tradition plus ancienne d’ambassadeurs alexandrins qui, bien que détenteurs de la citoyenneté romaine, s’élevèrent contre un pouvoir politique qui ne leur convenait guère.
La diversité des pratiques scientifiques au travers de l’histoire de la dioptrique : expérimentation d’une innovation pédagogique en classe de seconde en Tunisie
Authors: Slaïma Mohamed , Maurines Laurence 
Published: December 2017

Deux séquences d’investigation visant à montrer la diversité des pratiques scientifiques ont été élaborées pour la classe de seconde de l’enseignement tunisien. Documentaires et fondées sur l’histoire de la loi de la réfraction, elles ont été expérimentées à un an d’intervalle par le même enseignant préalablement formé. Elles se distinguent par le fait que la première vise également à l’élaboration d’un savoir scientifique relatif à la loi de la réfraction. Les résultats obtenus auprès des deux groupes d’élèves (20 et 25 élèves) sont encourageants quant à l’évolution de leur image des pratiques scientifiques mais semblent révéler un rapport différent à l’innovation.

Abstract. A fully coupled three-dimensional surface and subsurface land model is developed and applied to a site along the Columbia River to simulate three-way interactions among river water, groundwater, and land surface processes. The model features the coupling of the Community Land Model version 4.5 (CLM4.5) and a massively parallel multiphysics reactive transport model (PFLOTRAN). The coupled model, named CP v1.0, is applied to a 400 m × 400 m study domain instrumented with groundwater monitoring wells along the Columbia River shoreline. CP v1.0 simulations are performed at three spatial resolutions (i.e., 2, 10, and 20 m) over a 5-year period to evaluate the impact of hydroclimatic conditions and spatial resolution on simulated variables. Results show that the coupled model is capable of simulating groundwater–river-water interactions driven by river stage variability along managed river reaches, which are of global significance as a result of over 30 000 dams constructed worldwide during the past half-century. Our numerical experiments suggest that the land-surface energy partitioning is strongly modulated by groundwater–river-water interactions through expanding the periodically inundated fraction of the riparian zone, and enhancing moisture availability in the vadose zone via capillary rise in response to the river stage change. Meanwhile, CLM4.5 fails to capture the key hydrologic process (i.e., groundwater–river-water exchange) at the site, and consequently simulates drastically different water and energy budgets. Furthermore, spatial resolution is found to significantly impact the accuracy of estimated the mass exchange rates at the boundaries of the aquifer, and it becomes critical when surface and subsurface become more tightly coupled with groundwater table within 6 to 7 meters below the surface. Inclusion of lateral subsurface flow influenced both the surface energy budget and subsurface transport processes as a result of river-water intrusion into the subsurface in response to an elevated river stage that increased soil moisture for evapotranspiration and suppressed available energy for sensible heat in the warm season. The coupled model developed in this study can be used for improving mechanistic understanding of ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical cycling along river corridors under historical and future hydroclimatic changes. The dataset presented in this study can also serve as a good benchmarking case for testing other integrated models.
Juan Recio Aragonés, un judeoconverso entre la élite lucentina
Authors: Quevedo Sánchez Francisco Indalecio 
Published: December 2017

<p>En los últimos años se está superando la tradicional forma de estudiar al mundo judeoconverso, en la que la relación de la minoría con la Inquisición era el objeto principal de estudio, dejándose de lado la investigación de los confesos en sí mismos y de su integración social. Hoy sabemos que los cristianos nuevos no sólo sobrevivieron a persecuciones populares e institucionales, sino que lograron su total asimilación en todos los estratos de la sociedad. Ejemplos como el de la familia Aragonés muestran que muchos pasaron de la supervivencia al ennoblecimiento, no sin esfuerzo, no sin poner en marcha una serie de estrategias encaminadas, principalmente, a lograr la ocultación de su progenie y el enriquecimiento. </p>
Fabrication of self‐reinforced polyester composites and their mechanical and flame retardant properties

Published: December 2017

AbstractSelf‐reinforced polyester composites (SRPCs) with light weight, high mechanical properties, good interfacial bonding, and easy to recycle at the end after use have been developed to replace traditional synthetic fiber‐reinforced plastics. This study is on fabrication of SRPCs is performed using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as matrix and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) as reinforcement material through compression molding via film stacking method. The compression molding parameters such as temperature, pressure, and dwell time were optimized by Taguchi method, and these values are 225°C, 8 MPa, 5 min for tensile strength, 225°C, 5 MPa, 15 min for flexural, and 215°C, 3 MPa, 5 min for impact test. Flame retardancy in SRPCs has also been introduced as a new idea to minimize the flammability nature and is helpful in engineering applications. Flame retardants (FRs) such as ammonium polyphosphate (APP), zinc borate (Zb), and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) were used. The flame retardancy mechanism of optimized SRPCs works effectively which was evident by horizontal burning and LOI test. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was also studied to confirm the thermal properties of the composites. Mechanical properties were reasonably affected by the FRs as confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).

Published: December 2017

AbstractPolymer lipid nanodiscs are an invaluable system for structural and functional studies of membrane proteins in their near‐native environment. Despite the recent advances in the development and usage of polymer lipid nanodisc systems, lack of control over size and poor tolerance to pH and divalent metal ions are major limitations for further applications. A facile modification of a low‐molecular‐weight styrene maleic acid copolymer is demonstrated to form monodispersed lipid bilayer nanodiscs that show ultra‐stability towards divalent metal ion concentration over a pH range of 2.5 to 10. The macro‐nanodiscs (>20 nm diameter) show magnetic alignment properties that can be exploited for high‐resolution structural studies of membrane proteins and amyloid proteins using solid‐state NMR techniques. The new polymer, SMA‐QA, nanodisc is a robust membrane mimetic tool that offers significant advantages over currently reported nanodisc systems.

AbstractControlling the technological variability on an analytical chain is critical for biomarker discovery. The sources of technological variability should be modeled, which calls for specific experimental design, signal processing, and statistical analysis. Furthermore, with unbalanced data, the various components of variability cannot be estimated with the sequential or adjusted sums of squares of usual software programs. We propose a novel approach to variance component analysis with application to the matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight (MALDI‐TOF) technology and use this approach for protein quantification by a classical signal processing algorithm and two more recent ones (BHI‐PRO 1 and 2). Given the high technological variability, the quantification failed to restitute the known quantities of five out of nine proteins present in a controlled solution. There was a linear relationship between protein quantities and peak intensities for four out of nine peaks with all algorithms. The biological component of the variance was higher with BHI‐PRO than with the classical algorithm (80–95% with BHI‐PRO 1, 79–95% with BHI‐PRO 2 vs. 56–90%); thus, BHI‐PRO were more efficient in protein quantification. The technological component of the variance was higher with the classical algorithm than with BHI‐PRO (6–25% vs. 2.5–9.6% with BHI‐PRO 1 and 3.5–11.9% with BHI‐PRO 2). The chemical component was also higher with the classical algorithm (3.6–18.7% vs. < 3.5%). Thus, BHI‐PRO were better in removing noise from signal when the expected peaks are detected. Overall, either BHI‐PRO algorithm may reduce the technological variance from 25 to 10% and thus improve protein quantification and biomarker validation.
Das rote Haloarchaeon Halobacterium salinarum

Published: December 2017

ZusammenfassungDie Mikrobe des Jahres 2017 lebt zwar in harscher salzreicher Umgebung, hat aber einige Eigenschaften, die in der Biotechnologie oder in der medizinischen Forschung Anwendung finden. Neben dem Carotinoid Bakterioruberin und salzadaptierten Proteinen und Enzymen sind dies die lichtgetriebene Protonenpumpe Bakteriorhodopsin und Gasvesikel. Halobacterium salinarum lebt entweder planktonisch und ist motil, oder adhäriert an Oberflächen und bildet Biofilme, die Schutz vor Umwelteinflüssen bieten und den DNA‐Austausch begünstigen. Haloarchaea sind extrem resistent und können in Salzkristallen eingeschlossen hunderte von Jahren überdauern. Hbt. salinarum bietet daher viele spannende Eigenschaften für die Forschung, erfreut aber auch als roter Farbtupfer in der Natur.
Motoren des Schlafs

Published: December 2017

ZusammenfassungSchlaf‐aktive Nervenzellen sind Inhibitoren des Wachseins und somit die entscheidenden Regulatoren des Schlafs. Sie sind im Tierreich weit verbreitet und wahrscheinlich schon früh in der Evolution der Tiere entstanden. In Zukunft wird es wichtig sein, die neuronalen Schaltkreise und molekularen Mechanismen zu verstehen, welche die Aktivität der Schlaf‐aktiven Nervenzellen und somit den Schlaf steuern. Die hohe Konservierung der Fähigkeit zum Schlafen ermöglicht es, dieses Verhalten in verschiedenen Tiermodellen zu untersuchen und zu vergleichen, um letztendlich ein umfassendes Bild der Regulation und der Funktionen des Schlafes zu erhalten.

Published: December 2017

AbstractNowadays outcome‐based methods are adapted in e‐learning system to meet the need of the novel development of e‐learning systems for improved web‐based retrieval results. Typically, knowledge retrieval process is denoted by the production rule, frame, semantic network, fuzzy logic, predicate logic, and group of skill concept. To get the optimized result in proposed skill‐based e‐learning, the fuzzy knowledge model is applied. In knowledge retrieval, the fuzzy membership value of the knowledge and the combinations of framed rules are used to acquire the knowledge. The fuzzy techniques are adapted for analyzing the retrieved knowledge concept of individual skills like Inadequate (Ia), Adequate (A), Value added adequate (Vaa), and Integrated skill (I) and in fuzzy inference system in skill‐based education provides a decision about the learner community skill set and it promotes the excellence skill through the delivery of the suitable courses to the learners instead of supplying common courses to different skilled persons. In the existing knowledge modeling methods known as the Knowledge Capturing and Modeling, concept map‐based knowledge modeling confirm the learners to have known or unknown domain concept. Further, many of the researchers present on the analysis of the learner performances, behavior, learning environment, etc. The proposed paper investigate the individual skill abilities and it is suggested a set of courses in adaptive curriculum and syllabus to the learner and also it adapts andragogy in skill‐based education, to model the fuzzy knowledge, the fuzzy membership function and rules are used.

AbstractPeanut allergy can be life‐threatening and is mediated by allergen‐specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. Investigation of IgE antibody binding to allergenic epitopes can identify specific interactions underlying the allergic response. Here, we report a surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) immunoassay for differentiating IgE antibodies by epitope‐resolved detection. IgE antibodies were first captured by magnetic beads bearing IgE ϵ‐chain‐specific antibodies and then introduced into an SPRi array immobilized with epitopes from the major peanut allergen glycoprotein Arachis hypogaea h2 (Ara h2). Differential epitope responses were achieved by establishing a binding environment that minimized cross‐reactivity while maximizing analytical sensitivity. IgE antibody binding to each Ara h2 epitope was distinguished and quantified from patient serum samples (10 μL each) in a 45 min assay. Excellent correlation of Ara h2‐specific IgE values was found between ImmunoCAP assays and the new SPRi method.
