<p>Higher actuator voltages are required for future generation lithography machines to increase productivity. The operating pressures in combination with relevant insulation distances, can be situated near gas breakdown and cause partial discharge activity, making long-term damage conceivable. High voltage cone-shape connectors with pliable insulation can be applied for the low and medium vacuum range. However, materials and space are restricted making a cone shaped connector not ideal. In this paper, a flat connector concept is presented with a pliable insulation material allowed to be used for the aforementioned application. The permittivity of this material is measured and simulation results of the connector reveal critical design points. A prototype connector is made and its partial discharge inception voltage is characterized for the low and medium vacuum range. The results are discussed and compared with simulations.</p>

Published: October 2017

In order to influence properties of polymers, several different type of additives can be used. Often, time consuming experimental work is needed to assess performance and suitable concentrations for the chosen polymer-additive system. Therefore, it is preferable to be able to estimate the properties by means of theoretical work. In the present work, dielectric constant and loss for polypropylene-meso-erythritol compounds were studied. The experimental results were compared to the theoretically assessed properties.The compounds were prepared in three different concentrations. The obtained samples were pressed to plates which were characterized by dielectric responsemeasurements. The dielectric constants were also assessed using Maxwell-Garnett estimation and molecular dynamics simulations. For the later, bothatomistic model and a more coarse multiscale model were used. The Maxwell-Garnett equation gave a good estimation of the dielectric constant level whereas with the molecular dynamics simulations the obtained dielectric constant were in exact accordance to the measured values. With the molecular dynamics simulation, also the loss could be estimated. As expected, the atomistic model gave better correlation to the measured loss levels than the multi-scale model.
The Impact of Antithrombin III Use in Achieving Anticoagulant Goals in Pediatric Patients
Authors: Jones Allison J. , O'Mara Keliana L. , Kelly Brian J. , Samraj Ravi S. 
Published: October 2017

OBJECTIVES
To determine the percentage of patients with &gt;10% reduction in heparin infusion rate within 48 hours of antithrombin III (ATIII) administration. Secondary objectives include the achievement of therapeutic anticoagulation and determining the days of subtherapeutic infusion prior to supplementation.

METHODS
Retrospective chart review of 12 patients younger than 18 years of age who received ATIII concentrate supplementation while on continuous heparin infusion. Specific indications for heparin infusion therapy included extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), treatment of thrombus, and post implantation of ventricular assist device(s).

RESULTS
From time of heparin initiation to ATIII supplementation, patients spent a mean 4.9 ± 2.6 days of subtherapeutic infusion and required uptitration from a mean of 15.3 ± 4.4 units/kg/hr to a mean rate of 40.7 ± 9.5 units/kg/hr. 58.3% of the patients (n = 7) had a ≥10% reduction from the baseline heparin infusion rate within 48 hours of ATIII administration. Those patients considered responders (≥10% reduction from baseline rate) had a slightly higher mean baseline antithrombin level (76.3% ± 22.0% vs. 58.6% ± 2.7% in non-responders, p = 0.1) and were administered comparable doses of ATIII. ATIII supplementation did appear to increase the time of therapeutic anticoagulation within the 48 hours.

CONCLUSIONS
Administration of ATIII is associated with &gt;10% decrease in heparin requirements in more than half of the patients identified. In those patients deemed non-responders, there was a trend towards lower baseline antithrombin serum levels. Further studies are warranted to determine if the lack of response in some patients is due to inadequate dosing of ATIII or any patient-related factors.
LE QUÉBEC DANS LE SYSTÈME FRANCOPHONE DE L’INFORMATION AU XIXe SIÈCLE
Authors: PINSON GUILLAUME 
Published: October 2017

À Québec et en Louisiane, dans le dernier tiers du xviiie siècle, sont fondés les premiers journaux de langue française d’Amérique du Nord, tandis que le lancement du Journal de Paris en 1777 fait entrer la France dans le temps de la quotidienneté médiatique. Progressivement se constituent, de Paris à Bruxelles et à Genève, de Montréal à la Nouvelle-Orléans en passant par New York, de grands axes de circulation de journalistes, de corpus et d’imaginaires, à la source du premier mouvement de mondialisation médiatique dans sa dimension francophone, qui culmine au milieu du xixe siècle. Ce que nous appellerons la « francosphère médiatique » a ainsi reposé sur des traits culturels et littéraires (par la conscience d’user d’une langue commune prestigieuse — le français — avec ses oeuvres, ses auteurs et ses imaginaires collectifs), historiques (par la dynamique d’une « destinée » commune qui unit les deux façades atlantiques) et technologiques (par le développement des réseaux télégraphiques continentaux, du chemin de fer, des lignes maritimes et, en 1866, du premier câble transatlantique). Cet article posera ainsi l’hypothèse qu’il a existé, au milieu du xixe siècle et au coeur de ce système interconnecté, une littérature-journal de la francophonie qui s’est manifestée poétiquement sous la forme de certains genres journalistiques. Le genre de la chronique en a constitué le pivot central (nous en proposerons la synthèse avec ses grands praticiens, en France, en Belgique et au Québec), mais notre réflexion s’ouvrira également au reportage, qui émerge dans le dernier tiers du siècle de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique, et qui traduit les grandes mutations qui affectent le journalisme avec les nouveaux protocoles de l’écriture de l’information. Notre article se terminera sur les grands éléments poétiques du reportage au Canada français, domaine encore peu fouillé par la recherche, et qui a pourtant vu des journalistes — Lorenzo Prince, Auguste Marion, Jules Fournier ou encore Gilbert Larue — connaître de grands succès populaires.
FLATTÉE ET POURFENDUE

Published: October 2017

Si la fiction traverse le journal au xixe siècle, outrepassant les divisions entre les rubriques — ce que
Marie-Ève Thérenty conçoit comme une forme de « littérarisation du journal » (2007) —, une
réflexion sur les rapports entre les genres sexués reste encore à faire. S’intéressant aux
effets provoqués par l’imaginaire et la fictionnalisation du féminin dans la presse
canadienne-française de la deuxième moitié du xixe siècle, cet article examine les impacts de la compartimentation du
masculin et du féminin dans des rubriques particulières sur les modalités du discours et la
construction de la lecture dans Le Pionnier de Sherbrooke. Les dépouillements
préliminaires de cette feuille régionale ont montré que les femmes constituent un sujet de
fictionnalisation dans les décennies 1860-1880, mais que d’autres figures que celle de la
harpie — très présente entre 1836 et 1838 (Randall, 2013) — émergent, dont celle de la
criminelle. Les faits divers exploitent plus spécifiquement cette figure, qui revêt une
identité multiple : la meurtrière, la femme-infanticide, l’empoisonneuse et même la
lectrice-criminelle. Au moment où les journaux publient des romans-feuilletons afin de
s’attirer un lectorat féminin, le fait divers diabolise la femme, et tout particulièrement
la femme qui lit. Que le portrait de la lectrice qui émane du contenu journalistique dédié
aux femmes, principalement du feuilleton, ne coïncide pas tout à fait avec celui que donnent
à lire plusieurs nouvelles relevant du fait divers invite à s’interroger sur la délimitation
des frontières génériques dans la presse en regard des catégories de genre.
DU FAIT DIVERS À LA CRITIQUE
Authors: ROBERT LUCIE 
Published: October 2017

Le présent article s’intéresse à la manière dont la presse périodique traite du
théâtre à la fin du xixe siècle et il cherche à
saisir l’émergence de ce qui deviendra au siècle suivant la critique dramatique. Il ne
s’agit pas tant ici de fixer la date à laquelle le théâtre apparaît dans les journaux que de
saisir comment cette critique s’immisce dans le journal et en adopte les normes et les
règles. À travers quelques événements significatifs — la création des deux pièces de Louis
Fréchette en 1880, quelques moments des tournées de Sarah Bernhardt (1880, 1891, 1905) et de
Mounet-Sully (1894), l’incident Blonville-Saint-Louis en 1894 —, l’auteure interroge la
manière dont le journal rend compte du théâtre. Sont ainsi envisagées quatre formes
distinctes : le fait divers, le feuilleton dramatique, la publicité et enfin la chronique
elle-même, bien que celle-ci n’émerge que très tardivement. Ce qui caractérise le discours
de la presse sur le théâtre (et qui le distingue de celui que l’on trouve dans les revues ou
les ouvrages spécialisés) est avant tout la nature du pacte qui lie le journal, d’une part à
son lectorat, d’autre part, aux théâtres eux-mêmes en ce qu’ils sont source de revenus
publicitaires, et au conflit qui peut résulter de cette double allégeance.
UN HOMMAGE « COLLOQUIALEMENT » DISTINGUÉ
Authors: THÉRIAULT PATRICK 
Published: October 2017

Le projet de sonnet en hommage à l’auteur des Fleurs du mal que Nelligan a
laissé sous le titre « Le tombeau de Charles Baudelaire » n’a guère retenu l’attention des
commentateurs, qui n’en ont offert aucune lecture soutenue. Son style et son imaginaire
insolites témoignent pourtant d’un travail d’élaboration — au sens psychique et artistique
du mot — indéniable, même remarquable, qui confère à cette « ébauche » non seulement l’unité
de structure nécessaire à son fonctionnement et à son authentification comme poème, mais
surtout un rare degré d’originalité. L’auteur démontre qu’à travers l’esthétique étrangement
« locale » ou « colloquiale » de ce poème, Nelligan essaie, par un ingénieux et paradoxal
tour de main, de se positionner avantageusement dans l’espace symbolique de la modernité
baudelairienne.
LANGUAGE COMPETENCIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS IN THE COMMON EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK OF REFERENCE FOR LANGUAGES
Authors: Bogdanović Dragana 
Published: October 2017

Summary: This paper focuses on the Europe-wide coordination of language learning, teaching and assessment. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages was developed by international experts as one of the most influential documents in the field of language teaching in Europe. It measures learning progress by defining levels of competence and therefore explains what people need to learn to be able to communicate in one or several languages. The CEFR functions as a basis for the development of curricula throughout Europe and it works on the promotion of multiculturalism and multilingualism. A means to apply the CEFR is The European Language Portfolio. ELP informs about language proficiency and learning achievements in a clear and comprehensible way and also helps with language learning. It is an instrument to help promote the idea of learning languages for communicative purposes.

Compared with other members of the family Rosaceae, the chloroplast genomes ofFragariaspecies exhibit low variation, and this situation has limited phylogenetic analyses; thus, complete chloroplast genome sequencing ofFragariaspecies is needed. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome ofF. × ananassa‘Benihoppe’ using the Illumina HiSeq 2500-PE150 platform and then performed a combination ofde novoassembly and reference-guided mapping of contigs to generate complete chloroplast genome sequences. The chloroplast genome exhibits a typical quadripartite structure with a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,936 bp) separated by large (LSC, 85,531 bp) and small (SSC, 18,146 bp) single-copy (SC) regions. The length of theF. × ananassa‘Benihoppe’ chloroplast genome is 155,549 bp, representing the smallestFragariachloroplast genome observed to date. The genome encodes 112 unique genes, comprising 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. Comparative analysis of the overall nucleotide sequence identity among ten complete chloroplast genomes confirmed that for both coding and non-coding regions in Rosaceae, SC regions exhibit higher sequence variation than IRs. The Ka/Ks ratio of most genes was less than 1, suggesting that most genes are under purifying selection. Moreover, the mVISTA results also showed a high degree of conservation in genome structure, gene order and gene content inFragaria, particularly among three octoploid strawberries which wereF. × ananassa‘Benihoppe’,F.chiloensis(GP33) andF.virginiana(O477). However, when the sequences of the coding and non-coding regions ofF. × ananassa‘Benihoppe’ were compared in detail with those ofF.chiloensis(GP33) andF.virginiana(O477), a number of SNPs and InDels were revealed by MEGA 7. Six non-coding regions (trnK-matK,trnS-trnG,atpF-atpH,trnC-petN,trnT-psbDandtrnP-psaJ) with a percentage of variable sites greater than 1% and no less than five parsimony-informative sites were identified and may be useful for phylogenetic analysis of the genusFragaria.
Characteristics of Seasonal Variation and Solar Activity Dependence of the Geomagnetic Solar Quiet Daily Variation

Published: October 2017

AbstractCharacteristics of seasonal variation and solar activity dependence of the X and Y components of the geomagnetic solar quiet (Sq) daily variation at Memambetsu in midlatitudes and Guam near the equator have been investigated using long‐term geomagnetic field data with 1 h time resolution from 1957 to 2016. The monthly mean Sq variation in the X and Y components (Sq‐X and Sq‐Y) shows a clear seasonal variation and solar activity dependence. The amplitude of seasonal variation increases significantly during high solar activities and is proportional to the solar F10.7 index. The pattern of the seasonal variation is quite different between Sq‐X and Sq‐Y. The result of the correlation analysis between the solar F10.7 index and the Sq‐X and Sq‐Y shows an almost linear relationship, but the slope of the linear fitted line varies as a function of local time and month. This implies that the sensitivity of Sq‐X and Sq‐Y to the solar activity is different for different local times and seasons. The pattern of the local time and seasonal variations of Sq‐Y at Guam shows good agreement with that of a magnetic field produced by interhemispheric field‐aligned currents (FACs), which flow from the summer to winter hemispheres in the dawn and dusk sectors and from the winter to summer hemispheres in the prenoon to afternoon sectors. The direction of the interhemispheric FAC in the dusk sector is opposite to the concept of Fukushima's model.

AbstractInjectable delivery systems that respond to biologically relevant stimuli present an attractive strategy for tailorable drug release. Here, the design and synthesis of unique polymers are reported for the creation of hydrogels that are formed in situ and degrade in response to clinically relevant endogenous and exogenous stimuli, specifically reducing microenvironments and externally applied light. Hydrogels are formed with polyethylene glycol and heparin‐based polymers using a Michael‐type addition reaction. The resulting hydrogels are investigated for the local controlled release of low molecular weight proteins (e.g., growth factors and cytokines), which are of interest for regulating various cellular functions and fates in vivo yet remain difficult to deliver. Incorporation of reduction‐sensitive linkages and light‐degradable linkages affords significant changes in the release profiles of fibroblast growth factor‐2 (FGF‐2) in the presence of the reducing agent glutathione or light, respectively. The bioactivity of the released FGF‐2 is comparable to pristine FGF‐2, indicating the ability of these hydrogels to retain the bioactivity of cargo molecules during encapsulation and release. Further, in vivo studies demonstrate degradation‐mediated release of FGF‐2. Overall, our studies demonstrate the potential of these unique stimuli‐responsive chemistries for controlling the local release of low molecular weight proteins in response to clinically relevant stimuli.

Published: October 2017

AbstractOrganometal halide perovskites are under intense study for use in optoelectronics. Methylammonium and formamidinium lead iodide show impressive performance as photovoltaic materials; a premise that has spurred investigations into light‐emitting devices and photodetectors. Herein, the optical and electrical material properties of organometal halide perovskites are reviewed. An overview is given on how the material composition and morphology are tied to these properties, and how these properties ultimately affect device performance. Material attributes and techniques used to estimate them are analyzed for different perovskite materials, with a particular focus on the bandgap, mobility, diffusion length, carrier lifetime, and trap‐state density.
Superlyophilic Interfaces and Their Applications

Published: October 2017

AbstractSuperlyophilic interfaces denote interfaces displaying strong affinity to diverse liquids, including superhydrophilic, superoleophilic, and superamphiphilic interfaces. When coming in contact with these interfaces, water or oil droplets tend to spread completely with contact angles close to 0°, presenting versatile applications including self‐cleaning, antifogging, controllable liquid transport, liquid separation, and so forth. Inspired by nature, scientists have developed various kinds of artificial superlyophilic (SLPL) interfaces in the past decades. In terms of dimensional characteristics, the artificial SLPL interfaces can be divided into four categories: i) 0D particles, whose dispersibility or catalytic performance can be notably enhanced by superlyophilicity; ii) 1D micro‐/nanofibers or nanotubes/channels, which can efficiently transfer liquids with SLPL interfaces; iii) 2D flat SLPL interfaces, on which different functional molecules can be deposited uniformly, forming ultrathin and smooth films; and iv) 3D structures, which can be obtained by either constructing 0D, 1D, or 2D SLPL materials separately or directly fabricating random SLPL frameworks, and can always be used as functional coatings or bulk materials. Here, natural and artificial SLPL interfaces are briefly introduced, followed by a short discussion of the limit between lyophilicity and lyophobicity, and then a snapshot of methods to generate SLPL interfaces is given. Specific focus is placed on recent achievements of constructing SLPL interfaces from zero to three dimensions. Following that, broad applications of SLPL interfaces in commercial areas will be introduced. Finally, a short summary and outlook for future challenges in this field is presented.

AbstractThe emerging molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) offers intriguing possibilities for realizing a transformative new catalyst for driving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the trade‐off between catalytic activity and long‐term stability represents a formidable challenge and has not been extensively addressed. This study reports that metastable and temperature‐sensitive chemically exfoliated MoS2(ce‐MoS2) can be made into electrochemically stable (5000 cycles), and thermally robust (300 °C) while maintaining synthetic scalability and excellent catalytic activity through physical‐transformation into 3D structurally deformed nanostructures. The dimensional transition enabled by a high throughput electrohydrodynamic process provides highly accessible, and electrochemically active surface area and facilitates efficient transport across various interfaces. Meanwhile, the hierarchically strained morphology is found to improve electronic coupling between active sites and current collecting substrates without the need for selective engineering the electronically heterogeneous interfaces. Specifically, the synergistic combination of high strain load stemmed from capillarity‐induced‐self‐crumpling and sulfur (S) vacancies intrinsic to chemical exfoliation enables simultaneous modulation of active site density and intrinsic HER activity regardless of continuous operation or elevated temperature. These results provide new insights into how catalytic activity, electrochemical‐, and thermal stability can be concurrently enhanced through the physical transformation that is reminiscent of nature, in which properties of biological materials emerge from evolved dimensional transitions.

Published: October 2017

AbstractPatterning of high‐mobility 2D semiconducting materials with unique layered structures and superb electronic properties offers great potential for batch fabrication and integration of next‐generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here, a facile approach is used to achieve accurate patterning of 2D high‐mobility semiconducting Bi2O2Se crystals using dilute H2O2 and protonic mixture acid as efficient etchants. The 2D Bi2O2Se crystal after chemical etching maintains a high Hall mobility of over 200 cm2 V−1 s−1 at room temperature. Centimeter‐scale well‐ordered arrays of 2D Bi2O2Se with tailorable configurations are readily obtained. Furthermore, integrated photodetectors based on 2D Bi2O2Se arrays are fabricated, exhibiting excellent air stability and high photoresponsivity of ≈2000 A W−1 at 532 nm. These results are one step towards the practical application of ultrathin 2D integrated digital and optoelectronic circuits.
