Entre France et Allemagne, A. F. P. Boëly et le style sévère
Authors: François-Sappey Brigitte 
Published: November 2014

Issu d’une lignée de chantres de la Chapelle royale, formé par un père également maître de harpe des princesses de France et théoricien d’obédience ramiste, le jeune Boëly délaisse les chemins nationaux pour emprunter ceux plus allemand de la musique pure, si bien qu’il passera pour un beethovénien d’avant-garde puis pour « Bach ressuscité ». Sans craindre le mot ni l’étiquette il accumule des morceaux dans le style sérieux ou sévère. À travers Boëly, qui dédie ses œuvres à des personnalités du monde germanique ou germanisant, il semble possible d’établir un parallèle entre un « sérieux » à la française et l’ alter deutscher Ernst . Et d’entendre, peut-être, une résonance entre les pièces du Français de quarante ans et les Stücke du jeune Mendelssohn, élève à Berlin de Zelter et Berger, parrainé à Paris par Marie Bigot et Pierre Baillot. Les Sieben Charakterstücke op. 7 du cadet semblent trouver en retour un lointain écho dans les Suites dans le style ancien op. 16 de l’aîné.
The Use of Femtosecond Lasers in Cataract Surgery: Review of the Published Results With the LenSx System
Authors: Nagy Zoltan Z. , Mastropasqua Leonardo , Knorz Michael C. 
Published: November 2014

PURPOSE:
To review the published literature describing the use of the LenSx femtosecond laser technology (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) in cataract surgery.

METHODS:
Literature review.

RESULTS:
The LenSx system has been used in more than 200,000 cataract surgery procedures to date. Pre-clinical evaluations have shown that this system produces accurate and reproducible capsulorhexes, and that both the energy required for phacoemulsification and total phacoemulsification time are less than with conventional phacoemulsification. In comparative studies, femtosecond lasers have been shown to produce more precise and reproducible capsulorhexes than manual procedures, and better intraocular lens placement; capsule overlap, circularity of capsulotomy, and centration of the intraocular lens are consistently better with femtosecond lasers than with manual procedures. The improved quality of capsulorhexis and intraocular lens positioning are reflected in favorable visual and refractive outcomes. As with any new technology, there is a significant learning curve: prospective cohort studies have shown that the incidence of intraoperative complications such as suction breaks or anterior capsular tears or tags decreases with experience. In general, the incidence of such complications is within the range (< 2%) considered in recent evidence-based guidelines to be feasible and desirable.

CONCLUSIONS:
Although femtosecond laser cataract surgery is in its infancy, the technology is evolving rapidly and offers the potential for more consistent and predictable results after cataract surgery.

Comparison of Two Multifocal Intraocular Lens Designs That Differ Only in Near Add
Authors: Pedrotti Emilio , Mastropasqua Rodolfo , Passilongo Mattia , Parisi Graziella , Marchesoni Ivan , Marchini Giorgio 
Published: November 2014

PURPOSE:
To evaluate monocular functional outcomes after the implantation of the AcrySof ReSTOR SN6AD2 intraocular lens (IOL) (+2.5 diopters [D] near add) (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) and the AcrySof ReSTOR SN6AD1 IOL (+3.0 D near add) (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.).

METHODS:
This prospective, comparative, nonrandomized single-blind observational study comprised 62 eyes of 62 patients that underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of a multifocal IOL: SN6AD2 (31 eyes) (+2.5 group) and SN6AD1 (31 eyes) (+3.0 group). Twelve months after surgery, monocular near (30 and 40 cm), intermediate (50, 60, and 70 cm), and distance (4 m) visual acuity were evaluated with the internal root mean square and modulation transfer function. Both parameters were evaluated at the 4- and 6-mm pupil sizes.

RESULTS:
No statistical differences at 4 m were found between the groups. The +2.5 group obtained better performances at all intermediate distances (50 cm, 0.23 ± 0.14 vs 0.32 ± 0.13; 60 and 70 cm, 0.21 ± 0.10 vs 0.41 ± 0.14 and 0.24 ± 0.10 vs 0.53 ± 0.17, respectively), whereas the near visual acuity was better for the +3.0 group (30 and 40 cm, 0.36 ± 0.18 vs 0.14 ± 0.09 and 0.36 ± 0.19 vs 0.17 ± 0.07, respectively). The root mean square was lower for the +2.5 group compared to the +3.0 group, whereas the modulation transfer function showed overlapping results between the two models.

CONCLUSIONS:
Both IOL models showed good results in distance vision; the +2.5 D IOL seemed to provide better intermediate vision than the +3.0 D IOL. For near vision, the +3.0 D model performed better than the +2.5 D model.

Hinduism and the 1960s
Authors: Oliver Paul 
Published: November 2014

The West has drawn upon Hinduism on a wide scale, from hatha yoga and meditation techniques, to popular culture in music and fashion, yet the contribution of Hinduism to the counter-culture of the 1960s has not been analysed in full.
Hinduism and the 1960s looks at the youth culture of the 1960s and early 1970s, and the way in which it was influenced by Hinduism and Indian culture. It examines the origins of the 1960s counter-culture in the Beat movement of the 1950s, and their interest in Eastern religion, notably Zen. When the Beatles visited India to study transcendental meditation, there was a rapid expansion in interest in Hinduism. Young people were already heading east on the so-called 'Hippie Trail', looking for spiritual enlightenment and an escape from the material lifestyle of the West. Paul Oliver examines the lifestyle which they adopted, from living in ashrams to experimenting with drugs, sexual liberation, ayurvedic medicine and yoga.
This engaging book analyses the interaction between Hinduism and the West, and the way in which each affected the other. It demonstrates the ways in which contemporary Western society has learned from the ancient religion of Hinduism, and incorporated such teachings as yoga, meditation and a natural holistic lifestyle, into daily life. Each chapter contains a summary and further reading guidance, and a glossary is included at the end of the book, making this ideal reading for courses on Hinduism, Indian religions, and religion and popular culture.
Desire and the Abject in the City Becoming-Other
Authors: Fitzgerald John , Threadgold Terry 
Published: November 2014

When The Age renamed the corner of Russell and Bourke streets the ‘Golden Elbow’ it brought the city into close proximity with an altogether different city. Neither Chang Mai, Hong Kong nor Melbourne, the Golden Elbow was defined by what it could be. Neither one thing (Melbourne) nor another (somewhere else), the Golden Elbow is a space of the city-becoming-other. Through narrative work and news media maps of no-go zones, machines mobilise fear and thus value, from the desire flowing through this abject zone. Capitalism sucks value from these encounters through the production of fear as affect. The city-becoming-other is both enormously productive, and destructive of bodies caught up in the mix. This article explores the flow of desire and the abject of a city becoming other through a street drug marketplace. The encounter with the abject brings use closer to the beauty and fear of ontological mixity.
The Somerton Man: An Unsolved History
Authors: Balint Ruth 
Published: November 2014

The case of the unknown man who died mysteriously at Somerton Beach in South Australia in 1948 remains an open police investigation, although the trail today has grown fairly cold. Revisiting the case, and the responses the mystery of his person have elicited, enables a special historical insight into Australia’s postwar society, and the ways in which the past is continually reshaped by the subjectivities of the present. Further, an unsolved case such as this provides for a unique kind of historical project. The limitations of a history without a coherent centre are myriad, yet so are the possibilities. In this article, I explore the possibilities of an ‘unsolved history’, a history of dead ends, and argue that it is the very unknowable-ness of the Somerton Man that allows for a perception of history as multi-dimensional and complex.
In Threads and Tatters: Costume, Identification and Female Subjectivity in Mulholland Dr.
Authors: Chapple Lynda 
Published: November 2014

This arrticle explores the instability and trauma implicit in the representation of the female image in David Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. (2001), and more especially the ways in which this links to the clothing worn by the two female protagonists. By examining the role of mourning and nostalgia, the figure of the amnesiac, the complex pairing, doubling and splitting of the characters of the two female leads, and the relationship of these to identification, it will argue that the costuming practices in this film exemplify a crisis of identification within a specifically feminine cinematic image. The costumes represent an approximation of self; they work as devices that desperately attempt to secure some form of identity, doubling and mirroring the self in a vain, ultimately failed, attempt to fix the female subject and resolve her ontological ambiguity. Within a cinematic context, such a failure represents the breakdown of a central and defining paradigm and raises questions concerning the stability of concepts such as subjectivity and identification.
Critical Incident Analysis and the Semiosphere: The Curious Case of the Spitting Butterfly
Authors: Hodge Bob , Matthews Ingrid 
Published: November 2014

In January 2007, media outlets across Australia reported the local court decision Police v Rose. Mr Rose pleaded guilty and the presiding magistrate recorded no conviction. This event sparked a ‘butterfly effect’ that culminated in legislative amendments changing the make-up of the body responsible for oversight of judges in New South Wales. Key players failed to observe the doctrine of the separation of powers; while others called for its observation. None of this would have been foreseeable to Mr Rose or the two transit officers on the night he was detained. This paper uses complexity theory and digital media analysis to locate flashpoints around which critical incidents occur; and what the unexpected flow-on effects reveal about the host society.
Settlement
Authors: Frow John 
Published: November 2014

The paper explores the idea of settlement in each of its three major senses: as a place of human habitation; as a fixed and stable order of habitation; and as a political consensus reconciling fractious groups. Arguing that traditional accounts of settlement depend, with a kind of pastoral nostalgia, upon a view of abstraction and social complexity as in themselves harmful, it follows through the implications of the concept for ways of dealing with the stranger, and it uses a drawing by the nineteenth-century indigenous Australian artist Tommy McRae, done about 1890 and entitled Corroboree, or William Buckley and dancers from the Wathaurong people, to propose a counterfactual model through which a settlement with the stranger might be imagined.
Cannibals and Orchids: Cannibalism and the Sensory Imagination of Papua New Guinea
Authors: Vanni Ilaria 
Published: November 2014

This article examines Leona Miller’s book Cannibal and Orchids (1941) as an example of how place, in this case Papua New Guinea (PNG), is imagined according to a particular sensorium. It follows the ‘sensory turn in anthropology’ and the studies developed in the last two decades that take the senses as their object of enquiry. This body of theory is mobilised to analyse Miller’s biographical narrative recounting how PNG is imagined, represented and produced in terms of a disarray of the (Western) senses, coalescing in the trope of cannibalism. This article argues that the experience of PNG as the place of otherness is narrated both in terms of the author’s sensory displacement and of the indigenous sensorium as abject.
Aunty Sylvie’s Sponge: Foodmaking, Cookbooks and Nostalgia
Authors: Supski Sian 
Published: November 2014

Why does foodmaking matter? It does partly because it holds within it so much of everyday life, thought and activity across time, place and generation. This article explores women’s embodied foodmaking knowledge as ‘thoughtful practice’. It examines cookbooks as a form of nostalgia and explores aspects of gustatory nostalgia in the creation of ‘manuscript’ cookbooks and their variation in the twenty-first century. It also reconstructs, in part, the history of a family – of sisters, aunts, grandmothers, mothers, daughters – as told through cookbooks and, in particular, a recipe for sponge cake.
Uncanny Exposures: Mobility, Repetition and Desire in Front of a Camera
Authors: Alu Giorgia 
Published: November 2014

In this article I discuss some of the uncanny characteristics of photographic portraits by turning attention to photographs representing Italian migrants in Australia. These are images of mobility through time and space. These photographs also reduced spatial distance, transporting migrants’ own desires and unknown faraway lives into the imagination of the viewers at home. The migrant’s desire is for both a new life (as it will be mostly discussed here) and for familiar affects. It is also—in Lacanian terms—a desire from the Other: the desire to be the object of the Other’s desire, emotions and gaze.In particular, I will analyse studio photographic portraits produced in Australia during the initial period of the Italian diaspora from the end of the nineteenth century to the first three decades of the twentieth century. By drawing mostly from Freud’s definition of the uncanny and Barthes’s reflection on photography, I will look at these photographs as uncanny visual traces—and promoters—of emotions, desire and of a journey to a multi-faced identity.
TEST AND CALCULATION OF THE CARBON BLACK REINFORCEMENT EFFECT ON THE HYPER-ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF TIRE RUBBERS
Authors: Li Xu , Li Ziran , Xia Yuanming 
Published: November 2014

ABSTRACT
The strong reinforcement effect of filler particles on the mechanical behavior of elastomers has been well known for decades and has significantly contributed to the wide use of rubber materials in the tire industry. By using the automated grid method testing system, the quasi-static mechanical tests of three typical kinds of carbon black–filled tire rubbers with different elastomeric matrixes are carried out. Then, the influences of carbon black reinforcement on their hyper-elastic properties (the stress–strain relationship, the “S”-shaped nonlinear characteristic, and the stress level at certain stretch) are systemically discussed. The experimental data also allowed for a direct evaluation on a classical constitutive model based on the amplification of the first strain invariant. Comparison results illustrate that this model can explicitly take into account the reinforcement dependence of hyper-elasticity of tire rubbers in a certain degree. After that, the moderate finite deformation of these reinforced tire rubbers is studied using numerical investigations. For gaining the effect of particle clustering, different spatial distributions of carbon black particles (regular random dispersion and agglomerate random dispersion) in the elastomeric matrix are analyzed through the finite element simulations. The comparison of experimental and numerical results emphasizes the importance of the consideration of particle distribution and suggests that successful modeling of the material mainly requires a rational treatment of composite nature of its microstructure.
Low melt rates with seasonal variability at the base of Fimbul Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, revealed by in situ interferometric radar measurements

AbstractBasal melt is a major cause of ice shelf thinning affecting the stability of the ice shelf and reducing its buttressing effect on the inland ice. The Fimbul ice shelf (FIS) in Dronning Maud Land (DML), East Antarctica, is fed by the fast‐flowing Jutulstraumen glacier, responsible for 10% of ice discharge from the DML sector of the ice sheet. Current estimates of the basal melt rates of the FIS come from regional ocean models, autosub measurements, and satellite observations, which vary considerably. This discrepancy hampers evaluation of the stability of the Jutulstraumen catchment. Here, we present estimates of basal melt rates of the FIS using ground‐based interferometric radar. We find a low average basal melt rate on the order of 1 m/yr, with the highest rates located at the ice shelf front, which extends beyond the continental shelf break. Furthermore, our results provide evidence for a significant seasonal variability.
Simultaneously measured lightning return stroke channel‐base current and luminosity

Published: November 2014

AbstractThe time delay between lightning return stroke current and the resultant luminosity was measured for 22 return strokes in eight lightning flashes triggered by the rocket‐and‐wire technique during the summer of 2014 in Florida. The current‐to‐luminosity delay measured at the channel base at the 20% amplitude level ranged from 30 to 200 ns with an average of 90 ns and at the 50% amplitude level ranged from 30 to 180 ns with an average of 94 ns. The delays are significantly shorter than that predicted by Liang et al. (2014) from theory. The current‐to‐luminosity delays increase with increasing current risetime, current risetime varying from 190 ns to 570 ns, but the delay appears not to depend on the peak current value.
Bilayer Molecular Assembly at a Solid/Liquid Interface as Triggered by a Mild Electric Field

Published: November 2014

AbstractThe construction of a spatially defined assembly of molecular building blocks, especially in the vertical direction, presents a great challenge for surface molecular engineering. Herein, we demonstrate that an electric field applied between an STM tip and a substrate triggered the formation of a bilayer structure at the solid–liquid interface. In contrast to the typical high electric‐field strength (109 V m−1) used to induce structural transitions in supramolecular assemblies, a mild electric field (105 V m−1) triggered the formation of a bilayer structure of a polar molecule on top of a nanoporous network of trimesic acid on graphite. The bilayer structure was transformed into a monolayer kagome structure by changing the polarity of the electric field. This tailored formation and large‐scale phase transformation of a molecular assembly in the perpendicular dimension by a mild electric field opens perspectives for the manipulation of surface molecular nanoarchitectures.
Studying the dwarf galaxies in nearby groups of galaxies: Spectroscopic and photometric data
Authors: Hopp U. , Vennik J. 
Published: November 2014

AbstractGalaxy evolution by interaction‐driven transformation is probably highly efficient in groups of galaxies. Dwarf galaxies with their shallow potential are expected to reflect the interaction most prominently in their observable structure. The major aim of this series of papers is to establish a data base which allows to study the impact of group interaction onto the morphology and star‐forming properties of dwarf galaxies. Firstly, we present our selection rules for target groups and the morphological selection method of target dwarf member candidates. Secondly, the spectroscopic follow‐up observations with the HET are presented. Thirdly, we applied own reduction methods based on adaptive filtering to derive surface photometry of the candidates. The spectroscopic follow‐up indicate a dwarf identification success rate of roughly 55 %, and a group member success rate of about 33 %. A total of 17 new low surface‐brightness members is presented. For all candidates, total magnitudes, colours, and light distribution parameters are derived and discussed in the context of scaling relations. We point out short comings of the SDSS standard pipeline for surface photometry for these dim objects. We conclude that our selection strategy is rather efficient to obtain a sample of dim, low surface brightness members of groups of galaxies within the Virgo super‐cluster. The photometric scaling relation in these X‐ray dim, rather isolated groups does not significantly differ from those of the galaxies within the local volume. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Enantioselective Degradation of Chiral Insecticide Dinotefuran in Greenhouse Cucumber and Soil
Authors: Chen Xiu , Dong Fengshou , Xu Jun , Liu Xingang , Wang Yunhao , Zheng Yongquan 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThe enantioselective degradation behavior of the chiral insecticide dinotefuran in cucumber and soil was investigated under greenhouse conditions based on the method established with a normal‐phase high‐performance chromatography (HPLC) on a ChromegaChiral CCA column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm, ES Industries). The linearity range, matrix effect, precision, and accuracy of the method were evaluated and the method was then successfully applied for the enantioselective analysis of dinotefuran in cucumber and soil. Significant enantioselectivity of degradation was observed in soil according to the results. The (+)‐dinotefuran was more persistent in soil with half‐life of 21.7 d, which is much longer than that of (–)‐dinotefuran (16.5 d). In cucumber, the (–)‐dinotefuran also tended to be preferentially degraded both in foliar and douche treatment. However, the statistical analysis indicated the enantioselectivity of degradation in cucumber was not significant. The research provides the first report concerning the enantioselective degradation of dinotefuran enantiomers and the results can be used for understanding the insect‐controlling effect and food safety evaluation.

The Turning Point of the Refining Industry in Europe
Authors: Bellussi Giuseppe , Rispoli Giacomo , Millini Roberto , Pollesel Paolo 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThe oil production‐consumption map is undergoing deep changes due to the discovery of new resources, the development of technologies for the production and processing of non‐conventional sources, and the economic development of emerging countries. It is redefining the worldwide refining industry model with a strong impact on the European system, whose survival can only be assured by the availability of new technologies. This paper discusses the energy scenario and describes two relevant examples of how technology innovation from Eni R&D could strongly improve the trend for the refining sector.
