ABSTRACTWe report on preliminary studies of low (14 at.%) and high (53at.%) concentration Mn doped MgO films deposited by co-sputtering from metallic Mn and Mg targets. The structural, surface morphologies and magnetic properties of the films of different thickness were studied. All the as grown films are found to be amorphous and film surfaces are found to be flawless and homogeneous. We observe at room temperature robust ferromagnetic loops with a saturation magnetization value that is a function of film thickness reaching a maximum of ∼38.5 emu/cm3 in the Mn0.53Mg0.47O film at a thickness of ∼92 nm. In thicker films room-temperature ferromagnetic ordering is suppressed and eventually at a thickness around 120nm the expected diamagnetism of the bulk appears. The origin of ferromagnetism may be attributed to cation defects at the Mg-site.
Study of Surface Passivation of CZ c-Si by PECVD a-Si:H Films; A Comparison Between Quasi-Steady-State and Transient Photoconductance Decay Measurement
Authors: Ghahfarokhi Omid Madani , von Maydell Karsten , Agert Carsten 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the passivation of low lifetime non-polished Czochralski (CZ) mono-crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers by hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. The dependence of the effective lifetime (τeff) on the deposition parameters including hydrogen gas flow, power and temperature has been studied. Minority carrier lifetime was measured as deposited and also after an annealing step in both quasi-steady-state (QSS) and transient mode of photoconductance decay. By comparison between τeff measured in each of the aforementioned modes, two distinguishable behaviors could be observed. Moreover, to get further insight into the surface passivation mechanism, we have modeled the recombination at a-Si:H/c-Si interface based on the amphoteric nature of dangling bonds. The results of our modeling show that the discrepancy observed between QSS and transient mode is due to the high recombination rate that exists in the bulk of defective CZ wafer and also partly related to the different thicknesses monitored in each mode. So, by comparison between the injection level dependency of τeff measured in QSS and transient modes, we introduce a valuable technique for the evaluation of c-Si bulk lifetime.

ABSTRACTThe electrode materials for VRFB should possess higher electric conductivity, corrosion resistance and hydrophilic properties in sulfuric acid. The characteristics of the electrode materials affect the stability and the energy efficiency of VRFB. Carbon materials are the best suited for VRFB applications. In this study, the calcined treatment, acid treatment and ozone treatment were used to modify the surface of carbon papers. The redox reaction of [VO]2+/[VO2]+ on the modified carbon papers was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The surface compositions of carbon materials were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS). The experimental results reveal that three oxidative methods enhance the redox reaction of [VO]2+/[VO2]+. The calcined treatments and acid treatments also enhanced hydrolysis reaction. The mole ratio of O/C apparently increased, but the binding energy of C1s and O1s were not chemically shifted in the acid treatment. The intensity of binding energy of O1s, between 532 eV and 534 eV, apparently increased in the ozone and calcined treatments. The Ox treated samples were more hydrophilic than the Oz treated samples. In the Ox treated samples, the decrease of Rct value indicates that was contributed from the redox reaction of [VO]2+/[VO2]+ and hydrolysis reaction. It does not completely benefit the energy efficiency of VRFB. The 5 x 5 cm2 modified carbon papers were used as electrode materials in the VRFB. The voltage efficiency, coulomb efficiency and energy efficiency reached 93 %, 90 % and 83 %, respectively, at a current density of 12 mA．cm-2 at 0.8-1.8 V.

ABSTRACTIn this work, we investigated the influence of N-polar wet etching on the properties of nitride-based hexagonal pyramids array (HPA) vertical-injection light emitting diodes (V-LEDs). The cathodeluminescence images showed the randomly distribution of hexagonal pyramids with isolated active regions. The transmission electron microscopy images demonstrated the reduced density of threading dislocations. The IQE was estimated by temperature dependence of photoluminescence, which showed 30% increase for HPA V-LEDs compared with broad area (BA) V-LEDs. The improved extraction efficiency was verified by finite difference time domain simulation, which was 20% higher than that of roughened BA V-LEDs. The electrical properties of HPA V-LEDs were measured by conductive atomic force microscopy (CAFM) measurements. HPA V-LEDs exhibited much lower leakage current due to the improved crystal quality.
The structure of water on rutile TiO2(110) for applications in solar hydrogen production: towards a predictive model using hybrid-exchange density functional theory
Authors: Patel M. , Mallia G. , Harrison N. M. 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTPeriodic hybrid-exchange density functional theory (DFT) simulations are used to develop a predictive model of the structure of water on the rutile TiO2(110) surface (Θ ≤ 1 ML). A description of the adsorbed species is given: dissociated water molecules and either mixed or dissociative dimers. The behaviour of the adsorbates is rationalised by considering both direct intermolecular and surface-mediated interactions. Some of these results are then compared with those from water adsorption on the rutile SnO2(110) sur- face, isostructural to TiO2(110). Lastly, the electronic structure of the surface in contact with monolayer water (Θ = 1 ML) reveals the contributions of adsorbate states involved in the photocatalytic reaction that controls the water oxidation process.

Objective To investigate the association between the TGFA:c.3851T > C (rs11466285) and TGFA:c.3822G > A (rs3771523) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) with microarray in north China. Design and Setting Test association by both case-control and case-parent analysis. Subjects and Methods Two SNPs of 150 controls, 166 cases, and 271 of their parents were genotyped using microarray based on the allele-specific primer extension, and chi-square statistics and family-based association test analyses were performed. Results Both sequencing and microarray analysis produced identical results. We found significant evidence of overtransmission of the C allele of c.3851 T > C and the A allele of C.3822G > A in case-parent trios for CL/P but not for cleft palate only (CP). Significant differences for both genotypic and allelic distributions between cases and controls were found at C.3822G > A and c.3851 T > C for CL/P but not for CP. The TGFA [C; G] and [T; A] haplotypes showed significant overtransmission. Conclusions These results support that two SNPs are associated with nonsyndromic CL/P but not for CP in northern Chinese populations. It was demonstrated that this microarray is suitable to test SNPs associated with nonsyndromic CL/P.

Abstract

Background.
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most commonly diagnosed noncutaneous malignancy in American men. PC, which exhibits a slow growth rate and multiple potential target epitopes, is an ideal candidate for immunotherapy. GVAX for prostate cancer is a cellular immunotherapy, composed of PC-3 cells (CG1940) and LNCaP cells (CG8711). Each of the components is a prostate adenocarcinoma cell line that has been genetically modified to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Hypothesizing that GVAX for prostate cancer could be effective in a neoadjuvant setting in patients with locally advanced disease, we initiated a phase II trial of neoadjuvant docetaxel and GVAX. For the trial, the clinical effects of GVAX were assessed in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP).

Methods.
Patients received docetaxel administered at a dose of 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. GVAX was administered 2–3 days after chemotherapy preoperatively for four courses of immunotherapy. The first dose of GVAX was a prime immunotherapy of 5×108 cells. The subsequent boost immunotherapies consisted of 3×108 cells. After RP, patients received an additional six courses of immunotherapy. Pathologic complete response, toxicity, and clinical response were assessed. The primary endpoint of the trial was a pathologic state of pT0, which is defined as no evidence of cancer in the prostate.

Results.
Six patients completed neoadjuvant docetaxel and GVAX therapy. No serious drug-related adverse events were observed. Median change in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following neoadjuvant therapy was 1.47 ng/ml. One patient did not undergo RP due to the discovery of positive lymph nodes during exploration. Of the five patients completing RP, four had a downstaging of their Gleason score. Undetectable PSA was achieved in three patients at 2 months after RP and in two patients at 3 years after RP.

Conclusions.
Neoadjuvant docetaxel/GVAX is safe and well tolerated in patients with high-risk locally advanced PC. No evidence of increased intraoperative hemorrhage or increased length of hospital stay postoperatively was noted. These results justify further study of neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
Progress in the Biological Understanding and Management of Breast Cancer-Associated Central Nervous System Metastases
Authors: Dawood Shaheenah , Gonzalez-Angulo Ana M. 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
Metastasis to the central nervous system (CNS) is a devastating neurological complication of systemic cancer. Brain metastases from breast cancer have been documented to occur in approximately 10%–16% of cases over the natural course of the disease with leptomeningeal metastases occurring in approximately 2%–5% of cases of breast cancer. CNS metastases among women with breast cancer tend to occur among those who are younger, have larger tumors, and have a more aggressive histological subtype such as the triple negative and HER2-positive subtypes. Treatment of CNS metastases involves various combinations of whole brain radiation therapy, surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, and chemotherapy. We will discuss the progress made in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer-associated CNS metastases and will delve into the biological underpinnings of CNS metastases including evaluating the role of breast tumor subtype on the incidence, natural history, prognostic outcome, and impact of therapeutic efficacy.
Plant-wide modelling and simulation using steady-state data: a case study of the Gliwice WWTP, Poland

Published: June 2013

In last decade the focal point of the activated sludge (AS) modelling shifted from a secondary-treatment to a plant-wide level. This new approach offers more possibilities, therefore demands more effort and expertise from a modeller.
This paper presents a plant-wide approach to modelling and simulation of a full-scale AS wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The construction and routine operational data of the full-scale Central WWTP in Gliwice (Poland) were used in this study to develop an integrated model of the water and sludge lines of the plant. The core of the plant model was the Activated Sludge Model No.1 (ASM1), which combined with sub-models of the other processes, was implemented in the WEST® Software version 3.7.6. The calibration strategy, verification and predictive capacity of the model are discussed. The calibrated model permitted acceptable accuracy of the simulation, yet limited data restrained its scope. Thus, the obtained mathematical description of the plant is a preliminary yet sound basis for a more versatile model. The model limitations and opportunities for its further applications and development are discussed.

Published: June 2013

Background HIV-1 drug resistance in treatment-naive patients has a significant impact on the individual patient as well as implications for the wider population. These effects are amplified in the context of resource-limited settings, which are rapidly expanding access to antiretroviral therapy. Methods This cross-sectional survey at a single treatment site in Kingston, Jamaica was designed to identify the prevalence of HIV-1 drug-resistant mutations in chronically infected, treatment-naive patients. Mutations were identified using the Stanford HIV database algorithm and the World Health Organization (WHO) HIV Drug Resistance (HIVDR) surveillance mutations. Results The inclusion of 103 cases in the study resulted in 79 (76.6%) amplifiable samples. Genotype analysis revealed that 12.6% (95% CI 5.3, 19.9) were identified as having clinically significant mutations, while 10.1% (95% CI 3.5, 16.7) had WHO HIVDR surveillance mutations. Conclusions According to the WHO standard, this study population has a moderate level of HIVDR in treatment-naive patients and strongly implies the need to introduce HIVDR surveillance in Jamaica.
Les associations professionnelles de marchands d'art après 1945 : lobbying et modernisation à Paris et à New York
Authors: Verlaine Julie 
Published: June 2013

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale sont créées, dans les deux capitales mondiales du marché de l’art que sont Paris et New York, des associations professionnelles regroupant les marchands d’art moderne et contemporain : le Comité professionnel des galeries d’art (1947) et l’Art Dealers Association of America (1962). Leurs archives reflètent les débats intenses qui agitent la profession des deux côtés de l’Atlantique autour des questions de compétitivité internationale et de reconnaissance du rôle du marché dans le monde de l’art. Ces associations, représentatives de la frange la plus ambitieuse des galeries, se spécialisent dans des actions de lobbying auprès des instances politiques et artistiques, tout en menant une réflexion normative sur la profession de marchand d’art et sa déontologie. Elles sont moins efficaces, en revanche, dans la codification des relations commerciales entre galeristes et artistes. L’histoire de ces structures intermédiaires collective livre une approche originale de la rivalité artistique entre Paris et New York, et permet de comprendre d’après quels modèles se développent depuis les années 1970 les multiples associations de marchands créées dans le monde occidental puis extra-occidental.
Un « nouveau » Grand Paris ?
Authors: Epstein Renaud 
Published: June 2013

Initié par Nicolas Sarkozy en 2007, le projet du Grand Paris visait à « permettre à la France de tenir son rang dans la compétition des territoires, en faisant de sa capitale une “ville monde” ouverte, dynamique, attractive, créatrice de richesses et d’emplois 1 ». À cette fin, diverses démarches ont été entreprises, visant à élaborer une vision prospective du devenir de la métropole francilienne, à réformer son organisation institutionnelle et à construire le Grand Paris Express, réseau de transport public reliant les principaux pôles économiques de la région, les aéroports, les gares TGV et le centre de Paris. Au lendemain du discours de Jean-Marc Ayrault sur le « nouveau Grand Paris », Mouvements a souhaité revenir sur ce projet, ses orientations et son processus d’élaboration, en invitant deux élus et un universitaire : Patrick Braouezec (Front de gauche), président de la communauté d’agglomération Plaine commune, Emmanuelle Cosse (Europe Ecologie – Les Verts) Vice-présidente du Conseil régional Ile-de-France, chargée du logement, de l’habitat, du renouvellement urbain et de l’action foncière, et Daniel Béhar, géographe, professeur à l’Institut d’urbanisme de Paris.
Anthropologists as Scientists, Journalists, or Enemies of the State: The “Erased ” in Slovenia
Authors: Stojić Marta 
Published: June 2013

Članek obravnava izbrane probleme pri raziskovanju »izbrisanih« v Sloveniji. Sama tema je vplivala na način raziskave, ki je prešla na polje politično angažirane in sodelovalne antropologije. Uporabna antropologija, ki je vedno tudi vidik politične antropologije, na najrazličnejše načine vpliva na svet, v katerem preučujemo ljudi, in na ljudi, ki jih preučujemo. Najprej zaradi tega, ker nekatere fenomene postavimo v javnost, omogočamo komunikacijo med nami, raziskovalci, in neznanstveno skupnostjo. Poleg tega politično angažirani akcijski antropologi ne zbirajo le gradiva, temveč ga tudi ustvarjajo. Naposled to lahko pripelje do konkretnih sprememb glede na prejšnje stanje, kar se je dejansko zgodilo pri zakonskem položaju »izbrisanih«.
***
This article deals with some issues encountered while studying the phenomenon of people removed from the Slovenian register of permanent residents (known as the “erased”). The topic influenced the research, which thus entered the domain of politically engaged and collaborative anthropology. Applied anthropology, which always represents a form of political anthropology, influences where we and the people we study live in a variety of ways. First of all, by making some issues public, communication between the general public and the researchers is enabled. Furthermore, politically engaged and activist anthropologists not only collect but also create data. In the end, all of this may result in some concrete changes in the existing status quo, which has been the case with the legislative status of the “erased.”
Themes of U.S. Wine Advertising and the Use of Geography and Place to Market Wine
Authors: Tiefenbacher John P. 
Published: June 2013

Cet article décrit et traite du rôle de la géographie en matière de publicité pour le vin dans le célèbre magazine américain spécialisé en la matière : The Wine Spectator. L’analyse systématique du contenu visuel et textuel des 764 annonces publiées dans les 30 numéros (correspondant à deux ans de publication) démontre qu’environ 66 % d’entre elles présentaient des éléments géographiques, révélant clairement l’importance du lieu dans la production et la qualité de vin. L’approche qualitative basée sur une combinaison de méthodes a fait ressortir 8 messages identifiables et 11 thèmes distincts traités dans ces annonces. Le plus important d’entre eux étant l’importance du lieu et du paysage pour la qualité des vins. L’utilisation explicite de la notion de « terroir » n’est qu’un composant de la publicité vinicole actuelle et peut traduire l’évolution de la filière, passant de l’ère de la production de masse par les grandes entreprises vinicoles à la prolifération des plus petits producteurs intimement liés aux lieux et aux conditions de production. Cette étude jette les bases des recherches plus approfondies en vue de comparer les approches passées en matière d’annonces et l’importance relative de la géographie dans la publicité vinicole.
