Les routes à Sillery sous le régime français
Authors: Cantara François 
Published: September 2012

À Sillery, sous le Régime français, le terme « route » ne désigne pas un chemin praticable, mais une simple ligne d'arpentage servant à borner les terres d'une même côte. Et, en raison de cette fonction, ce terme connaîtra un glissement de sens qui l'identifiera tout à fait à la côte dont il partage déjà le nom. C'est ce qu'attestent des mentions de résidence d'individus ou d'emplacement de terres, contenues dans un certain nombre d'actes notariés : on pourra se dire « de la route » aussi bien que « de la côte Saint-Ignace », par exemple. Le « réseau routier » de Sillery, aux composantes parallèles entre elles, ne doit donc pas être confondu avec son réseau de chemins praticables qui sillonnent la seigneurie selon un tout autre tracé.

Authors: Lamonde Yvan 
Published: September 2012

Cet article analyse le mode de constitution de l'histoire culturelle au Québec comme domaine historiographique en montrant comment s'est conceptualisée cette appellation et comment elle a développé des outils méthodologiques. L'étude explore les relations entre l'histoire culturelle et d'autres domaines de l'historiographie (histoire de la littérature, de la religion, de la politique, des arts et l'ethnologie) ainsi que ses rapports à des questions débattues de l'historiographie (« révisionnisme », libéralisme, fascisme). L'article situe enfin l'histoire culturelle pratiquée au Québec dans l'historiographie internationale.
Using an Individual Differences Approach to Examine Two Distinct Types of Suggestibility Effects

Published: August 2012

SummaryTwo studies were conducted to examine relations between suggestibility effects studied in two commonly used research paradigms and a group of individual difference factors that have been theoretically linked to eyewitness suggestibility. In Study 1, we examined relations between the immediate acceptance of misinformation as measured by errors on misleading questions and individual differences in conformity, agreeableness, imagery ability, and memory. As predicted, the immediate acceptance of misinformation was associated with conformity but was not related to imagery ability. In Study 2, we examined relations between delayed retrieval errors produced during a classic misinformation paradigm and the same set of individual difference factors. Consistent with our predictions, delayed misinformation retrieval errors were related to imagery ability but were not related to conformity or agreeableness. Taken together, this predicted pattern of results across the two studies provides some preliminary evidence for an emerging distinction between these two types of suggestibility effects. Underlying theoretical, methodological, and practical issues related to the assessment of suggestibility effects are discussed. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AbstractThe morphological effects of the incorporation of C60 into blended thin‐films of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) and [6,6]‐phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are investigated. The results show that addition of C60 readily alters the growth‐rate and morphology of PCBM crystallites under different environmental conditions. The effect of C60 on the growth of large PCBM crystallites is thoroughly characterized using optical microscopy, electron microscopy and UV‐visible absorption spectroscopy. Results show that C60 incorporation modifies fullerene aggregation and crystallization and greatly reduces the average crystallite size at C60 loadings of ≈50 wt% in the fullerene phase. Organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) are prepared to evaluate the electron mobility of PCBM/C60 films and organic solar cells (OSCs) are fabricated from mixed‐fullerene active layers to evaluate their performance. It is demonstrated that the use of fullerene mixtures in organic electronic applications is a viable approach to produce more stable devices and to control the growth of micrometer‐sized fullerene crystals.

Published: August 2012

AbstractTransfer printing represents a set of techniques for deterministic assembly of micro‐and nanomaterials into spatially organized, functional arrangements with two and three‐dimensional layouts. Such processes provide versatile routes not only to test structures and vehicles for scientific studies but also to high‐performance, heterogeneously integrated functional systems, including those in flexible electronics, three‐dimensional and/or curvilinear optoelectronics, and bio‐integrated sensing and therapeutic devices. This article summarizes recent advances in a variety of transfer printing techniques, ranging from the mechanics and materials aspects that govern their operation to engineering features of their use in systems with varying levels of complexity. A concluding section presents perspectives on opportunities for basic and applied research, and on emerging use of these methods in high throughput, industrial‐scale manufacturing.

Published: August 2012

AbstractBridged triphenylamine was chosen as the donor unit for metal‐free organic sensitizers in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The easily constructed alkene linkage between the donor and the spacer improves the molecule's delocalization and causes a large red shift in its absorption peaks. Planarization of the donor and the use of alkene linkage have proven powerful in extending the red light response of the sensitizer, leading to a significant enhancement in photocurrent density of the device. As a result, devices sensitized with target sensitizers LC‐2 (η = 7.51%) and LC‐3 (η = 8.00%) exhibited more than 70% efficiency increase over devices sensitized with the reference sensitizer LC‐1 (η = 4.44%).

Im Blickwinkel der Technik: Neue Verhältnisse von Wissenschaftstheorie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte
Authors: Nordmann Alfred 
Published: August 2012

AbstractChanging Perspectives – From the Experimental to the Technological Turn in History and Philosophy of Science. In the 1960s the philosophy of science was transformed through the encounter with the history of science, resulting in a collaborative venture by the name of “History and Philosophy of Science” (HPS). Philosophy of science adopted ever more regularly the format of the case study to reconstruct certain episodes from the history of science, and historians were mostly interested in the production of scientific knowledge. The so‐called “experimental turn” of the 1980s owed to this interaction between philosophy and history. Its guiding question remained quite traditional, however, namely “How do the sciences achieve an agreement between representation and reality?” Only the answers to this question broke with tradition by focusing not on theory but on the role of instruments and experiments. – Roughly 30 years after the experimental turn, another transformative encounter appears to be taking place. HPS is being transformed in the encounter with philosophy of technology. From the point of view of philosophy of technology, the question does not arise whether and how the agreement of mind and world, representation and reality can be achieved. When things are constructed, built or made, human thinking and physical materiality are inseparably intertwined. Instead of seeking to describe a mind‐independent reality, technoscientific researchers are working to acquire and demonstrate capabilities of experimental or predictive control. When science is regarded as a kind of technology, a program of study opens up for epistemology and so do avenues for the historiography of science. History of science might now show how the problems and procedures of the sciences arise from and impinge back upon a world that is itself a product of science and technology. It thereby abandons its traditional HPS niche existence and joins forces with environmental history, history of technology, social, labor, and consumer history.
Historical Epistemology: On the Diversity and Change of Epistemic Values in Science
Authors: Carrier Martin 
Published: August 2012

AbstractHistorische Epistemologie: Vielfalt und Wandel epistemischer Werte in der Wissenschaft. Die historische Epistemologie beinhaltet die Auffassung, dass das System des Wissens nicht durch die Beobachtungen festgelegt ist, sondern auch von epistemischen Anforderungen geprägt ist, die sich im historischen Forschungsprozess wandeln können. In der Folge ist das System des Wissens pfadabhängig in dem Sinn, dass seine Gestalt von epistemischen Entscheidungen beeinflusst ist, die zu bestimmten historischen Zeitpunkten getroffen wurden. Die vorliegende Arbeit zielt darauf ab, diesen Denkansatz auszuarbeiten, indem die doppelte Rolle epistemischer Werte in den Vordergrund gerückt wird. Solche Werte stiften erstens Signifikanzbeziehungen und tragen dadurch dazu bei, der Forschung eine bestimmte Richtung zu geben. Sie sind zweitens auch von Belang im Prozess der Bestätigung, indem in ihrem Licht bestimmte Formen von Übereinstimmung mit den Tatsachen anderen Formen überlegen erscheinen und vorzuziehen sind. Einige epistemische Orientierungen und Umorientierungen können als Ergebnis einer Wechselwirkung mit der Natur verstanden werden, andere beruhen hingegen auf einer stärker fundamentalen Festlegung darauf, welche Art von Wissen als erstrebenswert gilt. Die epistemische Autorität der Wissenschaft wird in großem Umfang durch Regeln der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft erzeugt, wie mit Wissensansprüchen umzugehen ist.
Single Labeled DNA FIT Probes for Avoiding False‐Positive Signaling in the Detection of DNA/RNA in qPCR or Cell Media
Authors: Hövelmann Felix , Bethge Lucas , Seitz Oliver 
Published: August 2012

AbstractOligonucleotide hybridization probes that fluoresce upon binding to complementary nucleic acid targets allow the real‐time detection of DNA or RNA in homogeneous solution. The most commonly used probes rely on the distance‐dependent interaction between a fluorophore and another label. Such duallabeled oligonucleotides signal the change of the global conformation that accompanies duplex formation. However, undesired nonspecific binding events and/or probe degradation also lead to changes in the label–label distance and, thus, to ambiguities in fluorescence signaling. Herein, we introduce singly labeled DNA probes, “DNA FIT probes”, that are designed to avoid false‐positive signals. A thiazole orange (TO) intercalator dye serves as an artificial base in the DNA probe. The probes show little background because the attachment mode hinders 1) interactions of the “TO base” in cis with the disordered nucleobases of the single strand, and 2) intercalation of the “TO nucleotide” with double strands in trans. However, formation of the probe–target duplex enforces stacking and increases the fluorescence of the TO base. We explored open‐chain and carbocyclic nucleotides. We show that the incorporation of the TO nucleotides has no effect on the thermal stability of the probe–target complexes. DNA and RNA targets provided up to 12‐fold enhancements of the TO emission upon hybridization of DNA FIT probes. Experiments in cell media demonstrated that false‐positive signaling was prevented when DNA FIT probes were used. Of note, DNA FIT probes tolerate a wide range of hybridization temperature; this enabled their application in quantitative polymerase chain reactions.

ABSTRACTBackgroundPeople with schizophrenia are more likely to be violent than the people without it. Feeling driven to act on persecutory delusions may be one explanation for this, but it remains unclear why some should act on such delusions but some not. Acquisition of data from people who are very ill is problematic. Our study explores testing of hypotheses on similar ideational and behavioural associations among healthy recruits from the general population.AimsThis study aims to test the effect of distress induced by persecutory ideas on any relationships between those ideas and aggressive behaviour, and the effect of gender.MethodsTwenty‐four men and 53 women from the general population participated in this study. The measures of aggressive behaviour were experimentally induced aggressive responding, self‐reported aggressive behaviour in general, and self‐reported reactive and proactive aggressive behaviours.ResultsAmong men, persecutory ideation predicted reactive aggressive responding and aggressive style of behaviour only in those who experienced higher levels of persecutory ideational distress. Among women, with generally lower levels of aggression, the role of ideational distress was more complicated; Women in the low distress group responded with higher aggression on the task. Women in the higher distress group responded with higher aggressive style. For neither men nor women were there links between persecutory ideation and proactive aggression, regardless of distress.ConclusionsIdeational distress moderates the relation between persecutory ideation and aggression in different measures of aggression in men and women.Implications for practice and/or research

Recognition of a relation between persecutory ideations and aggression is also important in the general population.
Insight in the theory of acting upon delusions may lead to more accurate violence risk assessment.
Facilitation of early detection of experienced delusional distress may lead to development of more specific psychotherapeutic interventions to manage violence risk. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

BackgroundOlder patients and diabetes mellitus (DM) are rapidly increasing in Western world populations. The treatment of coronary artery disease in these patients is challenging because they are complex and at high risk. Performance of the two widely used drug‐eluting stents (DES), i.e. sirolimus‐ (SES) and paclitaxel‐eluting stent (PES), is understudied in this subset.AimWe aimed to explore the impact of the first generation DES choice on mid term outcome in a large and unselected population of diabetic patients older than 65 years.Methods and ResultsFrom a multicenter registry of 2,429 diabetic patients treated with sirolimus‐ (SES) or paclitaxel‐eluting stent (PES), 1,417 patients ≥65 years old were analyzed overall and separately for groups aged 65–74 (67%) and ≥75 (33%) years old. SES (55%) were compared to PES (45%) in terms of major adverse cardiac events, including all‐cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target lesion revascularization (TLR) throughout 1‐to‐5 year follow‐up (median time 24 months). We failed to find at the unadjusted and adjusted analyses statistically significant differences in term of outcome between the two DES, both in the overall cohort and in the two different aged subgroups, also regardless of the insulin treatment.ConclusionsIn this real‐life multicenter registry, PES and SES showed a comparable safety and efficacy profile in diabetic patients older than 65 years throughout 1‐to‐5 years follow‐up. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: August 2012

BackgroundWhether or not to close perimembranous VSDs (pmVSDs) by transcatheter techniques is controversial because of a high rate of complications as compared with surgical alternatives.ObjectiveWe report the short‐ and long‐term follow‐up results of the use of several kinds of devices to close pmVSDs and the annual incidence of postimplant complications in our center.MethodsFrom June 2002 to June 2011, 232 patients with pmVSD underwent attempted transcatheter closure; closure was successful in 209 cases (90.1%). Six types of occlusive devices were used. Patient age, defect size, device type, device size and its relation to defect size, and transcatheter and fluoroscopy time were analyzed for correlation with annual incidence of postimplant complications.ResultsThere were no deaths during the follow‐up period. Within 1 month after transcatheter closure, we found 91 adverse events (43.5%), but only 32 cases showed a trace amount of residual shunting. From 2002 to 2011, the annual incidence of postimplant complications gradually decreased, from 50% in 2002 to 17.6% in 2011. The use of Amplatzer occluder devices (r = 0.71, P = 0.033), double‐disc symmetrical occluder devices (r = −0.68, P = 0.045), and transcatheter (r = 0.87, P = 0.003), and fluoroscopy time (r = 0.78, P = 0.02) were significantly correlated with the incidence of post‐implant complications.ConclusionsResults of transcatheter closure of pmVSD in terms of postimplant complications are encouraging in our center. It seemed that eccentric Amplatzer and domestic occluder may be at rather higher risk for postimplant complications. The incidence of postimplant complications may be minimized by skilled maneuvers, excluding rather small patients, and selecting the appropriate kind of occlusive device. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ObjectivesTo describe predictors of the number of MitraClip devices implanted during percutaneous repair of mitral regurgitation (MR), and the long‐term reduction in MR.BackgroundIn the EVEREST trials, one or two MitraClip devices were implanted to reduce MR, as needed.MethodsPreprocedural transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE) of 233 subjects who received 1 or 2 MitraClip devices in the EVEREST II Randomized Trial and High‐Risk Study were analyzed. TEEs were reviewed for etiology of MR and pathoanatomic features of the valve, valve apparatus, and the regurgitant jet. Follow‐up MR was assessed by TTE postprocedure and at 12 months.ResultsNinety‐seven subjects (42%) had two MitraClip devices implanted. Subjects with quantitatively more severe MR were more likely to receive two devices [mean regurgitant volume (RV) 45.9 ± 21.9 vs. 36.3 ± 18.5 mL, P <0.001]. On multivariate analysis, increased anterior leaflet thickness (OR 1.7 per mm, P = 0.007) and greater baseline RV (OR 1.21 per 10 mL, P = 0.01) were associated with increased odds of implanting two devices. The frequency of 2+ MR or less at discharge was similar regardless of the number of devices implanted. After propensity matching, patients had quantitatively similar MR at twelve‐month follow‐up, regardless of whether one or two MitraClip devices were implanted (P = 0.6).ConclusionsSubjects with thicker anterior mitral leaflets and more severe MR were more likely to receive two MitraClip devices. Immediate and long‐term reduction in MR was similar regardless of the number of devices implanted at the time of the procedure. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractA new method for efficient ionization of sugars in the negative‐ion mode of electrospray mass spectrometry is presented. Instead of using strongly hydrophobic dopants such as dichloromethane or chloroform, efficient ionization of sugars has been achieved by using aqueous HCl solution for the first time. This methodology makes it possible to use hydrophilic dopants, which are more appropriate for chromatographic separation techniques with efficient sugar ionization and detection in mass spectrometry. The interaction between chloride anions and monosaccharides (glucose and galactose) was studied by DFT in the gas phase and by implementing the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for calculations in solution at the high B3LYP/6‐31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6‐311+G(2d,p) level of theory. In all optimized geometries of identified [M+Cl]− anions, a non‐covalent interaction exists. Differences were revealed between monodentate and bidentate complex anions, with the latter having noticeably higher binding energies. The calculated affinity of glucose and galactose toward the chloride anion in the gas phase and their chloride anion binding energies in solution are in excellent agreement with glucose and galactose [M+Cl]− experimental intensity profiles that are represented as a function of the chloride ion concentration. Density functional calculations of gas‐phase affinities toward chloride anion were also performed for the studied disaccharides sucrose and gentiobiose. All calculations are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. An example is introduced wherein HCl was used to effectively ionize sugars and form chlorinated adduct anions to detect sugars and glycosylated metabolites (anthocyanins) in real biological systems (Vitis vinifera grape extracts and wines), whereas they would not have been easily detectable under standard infusion electrospray mass spectrometry conditions as deprotonated species.
