Evaluation of the durability and compatibility of traditional repair lime-based mortars on three limestones / Bestimmung der Beständigkeit und der Verträglichkeit traditioneller Repararturmörtel mit Kalk als Bindemittel auf drei unterschiedlichen Kalksteinen
Authors: Bromblet Ph. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Tests were carried out on lime-based mortars for the reparation of three types of limestone extensively used in French monuments (Tuffeau, Saint Maximin and Courville limestones). The stones differ through their physical properties, both mechanical and petrophysical. The study aimed to characterize the properties of air lime and natural hydraulic lime-based mortars and to compare them to the stones. The durability was assessed by accelerated ageing, pull-off tests and description of the fracture pattern on repaired samples. The results show that such mortars are not equivalent but both are soft, porous and capillary materials with low adhesive force. Compatibility and durability of the repair measures on the three stones are discussed on the basis of our data and according to some requirements taken from the literature

Anwendung der diskreten Ebonex Anoden für den kathodischen Schutz der Bewehrung an Beton: Das Verhalten des Ebofix Mörtels / Ebonex® Discrete Anodes in the Cathodic Protection of Rebar in Concrete: Performance of Ebofix Grouts
Authors: Hayfield P.C.S. , Hill A. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
In a development programme so far stretching over five years, it has been found that a titanium oxide type electrically conductive ceramic (sold under the trade name "Ebonex") has maintained good stability as a discrete anode in the cathodic protection of rebars in concrete at current densities up to 900 mA/m2. After a number of years operation at the full rated current density, it has been shown that the recommended cementitious grout material (supplied by Atraverda under the trade name Ebofix) is resistive to acid attack, and is instrumental in improving current distribution around each anode. It is likely however that this dense material can only be used in association with a dedicated gas venting system such as that built into each EbonexR anode.

Published: November 2014

AbstractDamage following static indentation of jute/hemp (50 wt.% total fiber content) hybrid laminates was detected by a number of nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques, in particular, near (NIR) and short-wave (SWIR) infrared reflectography and transmittography, infrared thermography (IRT), digital speckle photography (DSP), and holographic interferometry (HI), to discover and evaluate real defects in a laminate with a complex structure. A comparative study between thermographic data acquired in the mid- (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum bands, by pulsed (PT) and square pulse (SPT) thermography, is reported and analyzed. A thermal simulation by COMSOL®Multiphysics (COMSOL Inc., Burlington, MA, USA) to validate the heating provided is also added. The robust SOBI (SOBI-RO) algorithm, available into the ICALAB Toolbox (BSI RIKEN ABSP Lab, Hirosawa, Japan) and operating in the MATLAB® (The MathWorks, Inc., Natick, MA, USA) environment, was applied on SPT data with results comparable to the ones acquired by several thermographic techniques. Finally, segmentation operators were applied both to the NIR/SWIR transmittography images and to a characteristic principal component thermography (PCT) image (EOFs) to visualize damage in the area surrounding indentation.

Published: November 2014

Abstract
In order to solve the difficulty of separation and recycling of TiO2 and its lower utilization of solar radiation, a new type of TiO2 photocatalyst, which was sensitized by polypyrrole (PPy) and carried by self-made modified Fe3O4, named PPy-TiO2/M-Fe3O4, was fabricated successfully by combining suspension dispersion and in situ polymerization. The structure of photocatalyst and Fe3O4 was characterized using X-ray diffraction, the Fourier transmission infrared spectrometer, and scanning electron microscopy. Light response property was tested by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated with methyl orange as the degradation substance under different light radiation. Magnetic recovery property was investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer and gravimetric analysis methods. The results showed that due to sensitization of PPy, the light response scope of PPy-TiO2/M-Fe3O4 was broadened to 451 nm and the degradation rate of methyl orange had been increased by 32.5% under the same conditions. Meanwhile, the recovery rate of PPy-TiO2/M-Fe3O4 remained above 97.9% after five cycles.
Microgels and Nanoparticles: Where Micro and Nano Go Hand in Hand
Authors: Juarez Beatriz H. , Liz-Marzán Luis M. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The integration of different types of materials in a single hybrid
system allows the combination of multiple functionalities, which can
even be used in conjunction with each other. This strategy has been
exploited in nanoscale systems for the creation of so-called smart
nanomaterials. Within this category, the combination of inorganic
nanoparticles with stimuli-responsive microgels is of very high
interest because of the wide variety of potential applications. We
present here a short overview of this type of materials in which the
nano- and micro-scales get nicely integrated, with a great potential
to expand the range of technological applications. We focus mainly on
the integration of metal nanoparticles, either by themselves or in
combination with semiconductor and magnetic nanoparticles. Various
examples of the synergic properties that can be obtained are
described, as well as the possibility to extract useful information
when optical tweezers are used to manipulate single particles. We
expect that this review will stimulate additional research in this
field.
Synthesis of β-Phase NaYF4:Yb,Er Upconversion

Published: November 2014

Abstract

β-NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanocrystals are
synthesized by a hot-injection method employing purified α-NaYF4:Yb,Er particles with a size of approximately 2–3 nm
as single-source precursor. The method allows to prepare either spherical
nanoparticles with different sizes or nanorods by simply controlling the
addition rate of the solution of α-phase particles and performing
the synthesis either in the absence or in the presence of seed particles.
The luminescence properties of the different particles are compared also
including core-shell particles.

This Policy Statement was retired July 2018.
Routine use of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV7 and PCV13), beginning in 2000, has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) attributable to serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae contained in the vaccines. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the expanded use of PCV13 in children 6 through 18 years of age with certain conditions that place them at elevated risk of IPD. This statement provides recommendations for the use of PCV13 in children 6 through 18 years. A single dose of PCV13 should be administered to certain children in this age group who are at elevated risk of IPD. Recommendations for the use of PCV13 in healthy children and for pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) remain unchanged.

Resumen
El libro Actitudes lingüísticas de los hispanohablantes hacia el idioma español y sus variantes es resultado del Proyecto LIAS (Linguistic Identity and Attitudes in Spanish-speaking Latin America). La investigación y el libro fueron financiados por El Consejo Noruego de Investigación (RCN) y auspiciados por el Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras (Institutt for framandspråk) de la Universidad de Bergen, Noruega. En el libro se presentan los análisis de las entrevistas sobre actitudes cognitivas, afectivas y conductuales realizadas a 8000 personas procedentes de todas las capitales de Hispanoamérica y España. La investigación de campo se desarrolló entre 2009 y 2012, bajo un cuestionario común de entrevistas, de modo que diera pie a comparaciones entre los diversos países; el presente libro presenta los resultados más relevantes. Uno de ellos es haber constatado que, a pesar de las variaciones dialectales y sociolectales, los entrevistados sienten que hablan el mismo idioma -llámese español o castellano- lo cual habla en favor de una conciencia de unidad lingüística y cultural. Por otro lado, se demuestra la existencia de una creciente autoestima lingüística en la mayor parte de los países hispanohablantes, en los cuales se prefiere la propia variante nacional en los medios de comunicación del país y en la educación. Al mismo tiempo se expresa respeto por la existencia de otras variantes de la lengua española como símbolos de identidad nacional en sus respectivos países.

Abstact
This book, Actitudes lingüísticas de los hispanohablantes hacia el idioma español y sus variantes, is an outcome of the LIAS research project (Linguistic Identity and Attitudes in Spanish-speaking Latin America). The project and the book were funded by The Research Council of Norway (RCN) and coordinated by researchers at the Department of Foreign Languages at the University of Bergen, Norway. The book presents the analyses of 8000 interviews about cognitive, affective and behavioral attitudes with respondents living in the capitals of Spanish-speaking Latin America and Spain. The field work took place between 2009 and 2012, using a common questionnaire for the interviews, in order to make comparisons of the findings across the various countries. One of the findings is the observation that in spite of dialectal and sociolectal variations, the respondents feel that they speak the same language – whether it is called Spanish or Castilian. This corroborates the observation that they are aware of a shared a linguistic and cultural unity. We also observe an increasing linguistic self-esteem in most Spanish speaking countries, where respondents tend to prefer that their own national variety be used in the media and in educational institutions. At the same time they express respect for other varieties of the Spanish language as symbols of national identity in their respective countries.

Published: November 2014

Summary
Metastatic tumours in the brain occur more frequently than primary neoplasms. Despite the generally dismal prognosis, neurosurgical resection is indicated in certain patients and can yield prolonged survival. Here we describe an 82-year-old male with a history of neurosurgical resection of a single brain metastasis 6 years ago. Tumour immunophenotype disclosed lung adenocarcinoma with low proliferation fraction. However, the primary tumour remained occult then. At present, 3 new brain metastases were identified by computed tomography. Repeated resection was performed in 2 stages, resulting in removal of 2 metastases. Lung mass was now evident as well. The final diagnosis was lung adenocarcinoma with metachronous brain metastases, stage IV. In conclusion, prolonged survival, in this case 6 years, can be reached even in patients with metastatic cancer by successful selective application of neurosurgical treatment. The biological properties of the tumour including low proliferation also contributed to longer survival and demonstrated surgery as a successful treatment option.

Plasmablastic neoplasm in an HIV affected individual and a brief note on its differential diagnosis
Authors: Hegde Veda , Hallikeri Kaveri , Anehosur Venkatesh 
Published: November 2014

HIV/AIDS predisposes an individual to a variety of malignancies. Lymphomas constitute a group of neoplasm of which are derived from the basic cells of lymphoid tissue, lymphocytes and histiocytes in any of their developmental stages. Thus these neoplasms are closely related and difficult to diagnose based on the histopathology alone. To highlight the importance of immuno-histochemistry in lesions as in the present case and the varied differential diagnosis that is useful to arrive at a diagnosis. We report a case of plasmablastic neoplasm in a young female whose HIV status became apparent only after the histopathologic diagnosis. Oral lesion was the only presenting feature. The lesion was a very aggressive lesion. Diverse differential diagnosis has been illustrated with their specific features which can be valuable to achieve a diagnosis of a particular lymphoma. Although, the histopathology reveals predominantly plasmablasts, it is still not possible to give an accurate diagnosis based on microscopy alone. Thus such lesions have to be differentiated with the help of immuno-histochemistry. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10762 Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 77-80

Authors: Clarke Michelle J. , Zadnik Patricia L. , Groves Mari L. , Sciubba Daniel M. , Witham Timothy F. , Bydon Ali , Gokaslan Ziya L. , Wolinsky Jean-Paul 
Published: November 2014

OBJECT
Recently, aggressive surgical techniques and a push toward en bloc resections of certain tumors have resulted in a need for creative spinal column reconstruction. Iatrogenic instability following these resections requires a thoughtful approach to adequately transfer load-bearing forces from the skull and upper cervical spine to the subaxial spine.

METHODS
The authors present a series of 7 cases in which lateral mass reconstruction with a cage or fibular strut graft was used to provide load-bearing support, including 1 case of bilateral cage placement.

RESULTS
The authors discuss the surgical nuances of en bloc resection of high cervical tumors and explain their technique for lateral mass cage placement. Additionally, they provide their rationale for the use of these constructs throughout the craniocervical junction and subaxial spine.

CONCLUSIONS
Lateral mass reconstruction provides a potential alternative or adjuvant method of restoring the load-bearing capabilities of the cervical spine.
Volumetric brain analysis in neurosurgery: Part 2. Brain and CSF volumes discriminate neurocognitive outcomes in hydrocephalus
Authors: Mandell Jason G. , Kulkarni Abhaya V. , Warf Benjamin C. , Schiff Steven J. 
Published: November 2014

OBJECT
The evaluation of hydrocephalus remains focused on ventricular size, yet the goal of treatment is to allow for healthy brain development. It is likely that brain volume is more related to cognitive development than is fluid volume in children with hydrocephalus. This study tests this hypothesis by comparing brain and fluid volumes with neurocognitive outcome in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus.

METHODS
Warf and colleagues previously acquired CT scans for pediatric patients in Uganda with myelomeningocele, measured frontal–occipital horn ratio (FOHR), and administered the modified Bayley Scales of Infant Development, third edition (BSID-III) to measure neurocognitive outcome that did not correlate with FOHR. In this present study, brain and fluid volumes were measured in 33 of these patients, 26 of whom required surgical treatment for hydrocephalus. Linear discrimination analysis (LDA) was used to test whether age-normalized brain and fluid volumes can discriminate neurocognitive outcome.

RESULTS
Hydrocephalic patients show normal to small brain volumes and substantially larger fluid volumes compared with normal values. FOHR correlates highly with fluid volume (r = 0.84, p < 0.001) and substantially less with brain volume (r = −0.37, p = 0.03), while brain and fluid volumes do not correlate with each other (p = 0.99). Brain and CSF volumes correlated best with fine motor (p = 0.03, p = 0.01), cognitive (p = 0.05, p = 0.09), and expressive communication (p = 0.08, p = 0.08) scores. A combination of these 3 scores was used as a multivariate measure of neurocognitive outcome. Brain volume alone, unlike fluid volume, could discriminate high from low cognitive outcome (by t-test and ANOVA). It was shown that a combination of age-normalized brain and fluid volumes can discriminate neurocognitive outcome by 2-way LDA (p < 0.01) and 3-way LDA (p < 0.01). The multivariate LDA demonstrated the contribution of large fluid volume to a decrement in cognition.

CONCLUSIONS
Hydrocephalus is treated by normalizing CSF, but normal brain development depends on brain growth. A combination of brain and CSF volumes appears to be significantly more powerful at predicting good versus poor neurocognitive outcomes in patients with hydrocephalus than either volume alone.
Agrippa d'Aubigné's lasting legacy : the influence of Les Tragiques on Pierre Emmanuel's Babel [Présence d'Agrippa d'Aubigné. L'influence des Tragiques sur Babel de Pierre Emmanuel]
Authors: O'Neil Mary Anne 
Published: November 2014

Malgré le grand intérêt que la poésie de l'âge baroque français a suscité au vingtième siècle, les poètes mêmes de cette période ont exercé peu d'influence sur la poésie moderne. Une exception frappante à cette règle est Pierre Emmanuel, poète prolifique des années 1940-1970, qui a trouvé l'inspiration de son épopée du totalitarisme, Babel de 1951, dans la grande épopée des Guerres de Religion, Les Tragiques d' Agrippa d' Aubigné.
Emmanuel, comme d' Aubigné, était un écrivain engagé à la fois dans la défense de la religion chrétienne et dans la politique contemporaine. Il a participé activement à la Résistance pendant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale et, après une liaison passagère avec le Communisme, il a lutté en faveur de la libération des intellectuels opprimés par l'Union Soviétique. Ainsi que d' Aubigné, qui a dédié ses premiers vers, Le printemps, à Diane Salviati, Emmanuel a commencé sa carrière en 1942 par un recueil érotique, Tombeau d'Orphée. Tout comme d' Aubigné s'est consciemment éloigné des « flateurs d'amour » pour devenir dans Les Tragiques le défenseur du Protestantisme, Emmanuel, avec la composition de Babel, a abandonné ses préoccupations personnelles pour se lancer sur la scène publique.
Malgré les 400 ans qui les séparent, le lecteur découvre dans ces deux épopées le même sujet et, en fin de compte, la même intrigue. Chaque poème épique prend comme point de départ une double crise, religieuse et sociale, qui permet l'avènement d'un tyran, l'oppression du peuple et une perversion de la vie spirituelle. La conclusion des deux poèmes prévoit, pourtant, la victoire du Christ et la libération des fidèles. Par la juxtaposition des événements tirés de la Bible et de l'histoire contemporaine, chaque poète oblige le lecteur à envisager la crise actuelle dans le cadre chrétien de la Chute et de la Rédemption. Emmanuel rappelle aussi d'Aubigné par sa préférence de la nature sur la ville, et par son style oratoire et ses images qui évoquent l'horreur et la pourriture.
Chez d'Aubigné et Emmanuel, l'épopée fonctionne non seulement comme un genre convenant aux gestes héroïques, mais aussi comme une poésie de témoignage, qui incorpore l'histoire et la théologie, le lyrisme et la rhétorique, l'érudition et l'expérience vécue.
Une famille non famille
Authors: Dillenseger Germain , Journoud Sarah , Oberlé Gaëlle 
Published: November 2014

Dans les familles à fonctionnement incestuel, l’absence de triangulation œdipienne et la carence de symbolisation compromettent l’accès à des places différenciées quant aux sexes et aux générations. Partant d’une lecture clinique d’un roman, les auteurs montrent comment les entraves aux processus de subjectivation et de parentalisation s’enracinent dans une absence d’introjection de bons objets parentaux. Le travestissement montre alors sa paradoxalité : tout à la fois solution pour survivre au manque et soumission aux pulsions de mort et d’emprise.
