An Adoption Contract from Tell Taban, the Kings of the Land of Hana, and the Hana-style Scribal Tradition
Authors: Yamada Shigeo 
Published: March 2013

Une des rares découvertes épigraphiques de la saison 2009 des fouilles japonaises sur le Tell Taban est une tablette fragmentaire scellée, comportant un contrat d’adoption (Tab T09-47). Le texte, rédigé dans le style caractéristique des documents de « Hana » et scellé par Ahuni, « roi du pays de Hana », peut être daté des 15e-14e siècles. Il s’agit du second texte de type « Hana » découvert à Tell Taban, après la donation royale du 18e siècle (Tab T06-4). Ces textes montrent que la ville de Ṭabatum (Tell Taban) suivait la tradition scribale de « Hana » qui domina dans le Moyen Euphrate et le Bas Habur durant une longue période. La contribution présente l’édition du contrat d’adoption, et discute plusieurs points : la lignée royale du royaume de « Hana », la distribution géographico-chronologique de la tradition scribale de « Hana », et les particularités des deux contrats de type « Hana » de Tell Taban ainsi que leurs implications historiques.
The god Itūr-Mēr in the middle Euphrates region during the Old Babylonian period
Authors: Nakata Ichiro 
Published: March 2013

L’article veut attirer l’attention sur le fait que le dieu tutélaire de Mari, Itūr-Mēr, continua en tant que dieu du serment à exercer un rôle prééminent dans la région du Moyen Euphrate, même après la destruction de la ville de Mari. Un survol de la documentation paléobabylonienne de Mari montre clairement qu’Itūr-Mēr était un des dieux principaux à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur du culte officiel de la ville de Mari. Néanmoins deux questions restent ouvertes. Premièrement, pourquoi le dieu Itūr-Mēr continua-t-il à exercer sa fonction de dieu du serment dans le royaume de Hana et sa capitale Terqa même après la destruction de Mari, son lieu de culte. Ensuite, pourquoi Ikrub-El, le dieu tutélaire de Terqa, qui avait été la divinité la plus haut placée de Terqa après Dagan, disparaît-il des textes paléo-babyloniens tardifs découverts à Terqa et ses environs ? L’auteur propose à titre d’hypothèse l’explication suivante. Il faut supposer qu’une partie du clergé d’Itūr-Mēr s’était réfugiée à Terqa. Puisque Itūr-Mēr jouissait auprès de la population du Moyen Euphrate d’une popularité plus grande que le dieu Ikrub-El, dieu tutélaire de Terqa, Itūr-Mēr aurait pu prendre sa place ou avoir eu gain de cause sur lui.
The second military conflict between ‘Assyria' and ‘Ḫatti' in the reign of Tukulti-Ninurta I
Authors: Yamada Masamichi 
Published: March 2013

S’intéressant à l’expansion territoriale de l’Assyrie à l’époque moyenne, cette étude porte sur la région du Moyen Euphrate à l’époque de Tukulti-Ninurta I. Après avoir présenté les sources assyriennes et hittites ainsi que des textes d’Emar, l’auteur démontre qu’après la bataille de Nihriya, dans laquelle Tukulti-Ninurta et Tudḫaliya IV s’étaient affrontés, un deuxième conflit militaire avait éclaté au milieu du règne de Tukulti-Ninurta dans la région du Moyen Euphrate, opposant encore une fois l’Assyrie et le Hatti. Il s’agit d’une guerre entre leurs deux royaumes satellites Ḫanigalbat (dépendant de l’Assyrie) et Karkemiš (obéissant au Ḫatti) et durant laquelle le premier (appelé « Hourrites » dans plusieurs textes d’Emar) réussit à s’emparer des villes de Karkemiš situées dans la Boucle de l’Euphrate et au nord de celle-ci. Ces conquêtes du Hanigalbat firent l’objet de négociations diplomatiques entre Assyrie et Hatti et Tudḫaliya réussit à obtenir de Tukulti-Ninurta, occupé à une guerre de conquête en Babylonie, que les villes soient rendues à Karkemiš. En échange, Tudḫaliya s’engagea aux côtés de l’Assyrie.
La négociation sectorielle dans l'enseignement
Authors: Kwaschin Sylvie 
Published: March 2013

Le décret du 15 décembre 2010 introduit une importante nouveauté dans le secteur de l’enseignement en Communauté française. Jusqu’alors, la négociation sectorielle réunissait l’autorité publique et les organisations syndicales représentant le personnel des réseaux publics. Aujourd’hui, elle est élargie et est devenue tripartite : elle associe le gouvernement de la Communauté française, les organisations syndicales représentant les personnels de l’ensemble des réseaux et, enfin, les pouvoirs organisateurs de l’enseignement subventionné libre et officiel. L’objectif de cette configuration atypique est de mettre fin à une situation où le réseau libre ne pouvait prendre part à des négociations dont les résultats s’imposaient pourtant à lui. Sylvie Kwaschin analyse la mise en place, la spécificité et le fonctionnement du nouveau dispositif, ainsi que ses effets. Elle souligne les difficultés nées de l’articulation de deux logiques, l’une publique et l’autre privée, et met en perspective les critiques adressées à un processus qui n’est en réalité que partiellement tripartite. Elle montre également combien les projets de révision du nouveau système mettent en cause le rôle de l’autorité publique dans la concertation sociale. Plus largement, ce Courrier hebdomadaire constitue une synthèse des relations collectives de travail dans le domaine de l’enseignement, centrée sur les acteurs et les lieux institutionnels de négociation.
Antigen-Specific Memory Regulatory CD4+Foxp3+ T Cells Control Memory Responses to Influenza Virus Infection

Published: March 2013

Abstract
Regulatory CD4+Foxp3+ T cells (Tregs) are key regulators of inflammatory responses and control the magnitude of cellular immune responses to viral infections. However, little is known about how Tregs contribute to immune regulation during memory responses to previously encountered pathogens. In this study, we used MHC class II tetramers specific for the 311–325 peptide from influenza nucleoprotein (NP311–325/IAb) to track the Ag-specific Treg response to primary and secondary influenza virus infections. During secondary infections, Ag-specific memory Tregs showed accelerated accumulation in the lung-draining lymph node and lung parenchyma relative to a primary infection. Memory Tregs effectively controlled the in vitro proliferation of memory CD8+ cells in an Ag-specific fashion that was MHC class II dependent. When memory Tregs were depleted before secondary infection, the magnitude of the Ag-specific memory CD8+ T cell response was increased, as was pulmonary inflammation and airway cytokine/chemokine expression. Replacement of memory Tregs with naive Tregs failed to restore the regulation of the memory CD8 T cell response during secondary infection. Together, these data demonstrate the existence of a previously undescribed population of Ag-specific memory Tregs that shape the cellular immune response to secondary influenza virus challenges and offer an additional parameter to consider when determining the efficacy of vaccinations.
An Early Warning System to Predict Speculative House Price Bubbles
Authors: Dreger Christian , Kholodilin Konstantin A. 
Published: March 2013

Abstract
In this paper, the authors construct country-specific chronologies of the house price bubbles for 12 OECD countries over the period 1969:Q1–2009:Q4. These chronologies are obtained using a combination of a fundamental approach and a filter approach. The resulting speculative bubble chronology is the one which provides the highest concordance between these two techniques. In addition, the authors suggest an early warning system based on three alternative approaches: A signalling approach, a logit model, and a probit model. It is shown that the latter two models allow much more accurate predictions of house price bubbles than the signalling approach. Furthermore, the predictive accuracy of the logit and probit models is high enough to make them useful in forecasting future speculative bubbles in housing market. Thus, this method can be used by the policymakers in their attempts to quickly detect house price bubbles and attenuate their devastating effects on the domestic and world economy.

Authors: Veliz-Burgos Alex 
Published: March 2013

El estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas y la estructura factorial de la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff (1989) adaptada por van Dierendonck (2004). Se aplicó la escala a una muestra de 691 universitarios chilenos, con una media de 21.4 años (DT 2.6 años). La confiabilidad más alta de las subescalas es Autoaceptación (.79) y la más baja Propósito en la Vida (.54). El análisis factorial confirmatorio muestra un RMSEA de .068 considerado aceptable, un valor CFI igual a .95, un valor de NNFI .94 y un SRMR con un valor de .060. Se concluye que el modelo tendría un ajuste adecuado, lo que permitiría su uso en la población universitaria chilena.
El Laboratorio de los Conflictos de la Azienda Sanitaria Locale 3 Genovesa. Un servicio público a sostén de la parentalidad en la separación conyugal

Published: March 2013

La separación conyugal es una experiencia frecuente en la vida de muchas familias. Implica el fracaso de un proyecto de la vida en conjunto y una experiencia de pérdida que puede producir comportamientos sintomáticos y dinámicas relacionales disfuncionales. Estos efectos negativos, especialmente en niños, se atribuyen a la conflictividad entre los padres y a su mayor o menor capacidad de interrogarse acerca del impacto de su desacuerdo sobre el estado emocional de los niños. El conocimiento de los posibles efectos de una separación matrimonial conflictiva respecto del bienestar psicológico de los niños ha aumentado la demanda de mediación familiar, facilitando que los padres vuelvan a asumir sus responsabilidades parentales. Este artículo presenta la actividad de un servicio italiano de mediación familiar, que interviene con parejas con un nivel de conflicto intenso, con el fin de favorecer el volver a apropiarse de una modalidad de gestión conjunta de los niños. Se presenta un perfil de los usuarios, en relación al acuerdo, sea o no común, de contactarse con el servicio, y en relación a la tipología del enviante y a la tipología de separación, según la ley italiana.

Published: March 2013

Purpose Riboflavin UVA (collagen crosslinking [CXL]) treatment for keratoconus is a method for stabilizing or improving corneal properties. Our aim was to evaluate changes in corneal topography indices after CXL. Methods A total of 38 eyes of 25 patients (mean age 29.36 ± 9.7 years) were treated with CXL technique. The follow-up period was 36 months. Slit-lamp examination, visual acuity tests, and pachymetry measurements were performed; in order to obtain the following numerical data, corneal topography (TMS-4; Tomey) was used: simulated keratometry (K1, K2), CYL (cylinder value), SAI (surface asymmetry index), IAI (irregular astigmatism index), SRI (surface regulatory index), ACP (average corneal power), and CEI (corneal eccentricity index). Treatments were performed with In-Pro CCL-Lix (Germany) equipment. Results The values of mean K1 (p = 0.82), cylinder (p = 0.73), SAI (p = 0.99), IAI (p = 0.82), SRI (p = 0.73), ACP (p = 0.73), K2 (p = 0.8), and CEI (p = 0.99) showed no significant changes at the end of the examination period. Uncorrected visual acuity remained unchanged (p = 0.32). However, best-corrected visual acuity changed from 0.21 ± 0.17 to 0.12 ± 0.11 in logMAR scale, but this deviation was not considered significant (p = 0.08). No change was observed in intraocular pressure (p = 0.79). Cornea remained clear and during follow-up period no corneal thinning was observed (p = 0.78). Conclusions Our results suggest that corneal collagen CXL can be a successful treatment at certain stages of keratoconus, offering a way to stop progression in keratometric indices.

Published: March 2013

Purpose To review and summarize the available literature on the effect of preservatives on the eye, to provide practical guidance for the clinical assessment of the ocular surface in glaucoma patients, and to define patient populations that might benefit from preservative-free topical intraocular pressure (IOP)–lowering agents. Methods This manuscript is based on a combination of a literature review on preservatives and the eye and expert opinion from glaucoma specialists with an interest in ocular surface disease. Results There is an increasingly recognized association between eyedrop preservatives and ocular surface disease. Preservative-free therapy is now available for a wide range of active compounds, although there are still some misconceptions regarding their appropriate use. For patients treated topically for glaucoma or ocular hypertension, a rough estimate could be that 20% may need treatment with topical IOP-reducing agents that are free from preservatives. Conclusions This review provides an up-to-date account of the literature regarding preservatives and the eye, as well as suggestions and recommendations on to when to use preservative-free antiglaucoma treatment.
To Compare Incisional Fluid Loss During Different Stages of Phacoemulsification and its effect on Anterior Chamber Stability in Micro Coaxial and Bimanual Phacoemulsification
Authors: Sharma Dharmik , Desai Dipan , Solanki Kaushik 
Published: March 2013

Purpose:
To compare incisional fluid loss during different stages of phacoemulsification and its effect on anterior chamber stability in microcoaxial and bimanual phacoemulsification.

Materials & Methods:
This prospective randomized study comprised of 80 consecutive patients, 40 patients in each group having routine uneventful cataract surgery. All patients were operated on the same phaco machine by the same surgeon. Intra-operative parameters were constant for all patients in each group. Volume of incisional fluid leak was measured during different stages of phacoemulsification. Along with volume of fluid aspirated in cassette, total volume of balance salt solution used, frequency of visually significant surges during different stages of phacoemulsification and post-operative best corrected visual acuity & central corneal thickness were measured in microcoaxial and bimanual phacoemulsification.

Results:
The mean percentage of incisional fluid leak during nucleus removal in microcoaxial phacoemulsification was 21.22±6.07% and was 24.73±5.06% in bimanual phacoemulsification (P value: 0.006). The mean percentage of incisional fluid leak during irrigation/aspiration/polishing in microcoaxial phacoemulsification was 38.60±7.22% and was 57.70±6.59% in bimanual phacoemulsification (p value: < 0.0001). Average frequency of visually significant anterior chamber surges in microcoaxial phacoemulsification was 6 and was 36 in bimanual phacoemulsification. Postoperative mean increase in central corneal thickness (CCT) in microcoaxial phacoemulsification was 4.93±3.11 on Day 1 and was 0.70±1.11 on Day 7 and in bimanual phacoemulsification it was 9.55±4.77 on Day 1 and 1.55±1.72 on Day 7 (P value, Day 1: <0.0001 & Day 7: 0.01).

Conclusion:
Significant increase in incisional fluid loss was observed in bimanual phacoemulsification. This led to more surges during surgery along with increase in central corneal thickness in immediate postoperative period. This suggests that microcoaxial phacoemulsification has better fluidics and anterior chamber stability.
Eco Friendly Nitration of Toluene using Modified Zirconia
Authors: Sunaja Devi K. R. , Jayashree S. 
Published: March 2013

Nitration of toluene has been studied in the liquid phase over a series of modified zirconia catalysts. Zirconia, zirconia- ceria (Zr0.98Ce0.02)O2, sulfated zirconia and sulfated zirconia- ceria were synthesised by co precipitation method and were characterised by X-ray diffraction, BET surface area, Infra red spectroscopy analysis (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X ray analysis (EDAX). The acidity of the prepared catalysts was determined by FTIR pyridine adsorption study. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the catalysts prepared mainly consist of tetragonal phase with the crystallite size in the nano range and the tetragonal phase of zirconia is stabilized by the addition of ceria. The modified zirconia samples have higher surface area and exhibits uniform pore size distribution aggregated by zirconia nanoparticles. The onset of sulfate decomposition was observed around 723 K for sulfated samples. The catalytic performance was determined for the liquid phase nitration of toluene to ortho-, meta- and para- nitro toluene. The effect of reaction temperature, concentration of nitric acid, catalyst reusability and reaction time was also investigated. © 2013 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Efficient Polymer Solar Cells on Opaque Substrates with a Laminated PEDOT:PSS Top Electrode
Authors: Gupta Dhritiman , Wienk Martijn M. , Janssen René A. J. 
Published: March 2013

AbstractSolution processed polymer:fullerene solar cells on opaque substrates have been fabricated in conventional and inverted device configurations. Opaque substrates, such as insulated steel and metal covered glass, require a transparent conducting top electrode. We demonstrate that a high conducting (900 S cm−1) PEDOT:PSS layer, deposited by a stamp‐transfer lamination technique using a PDMS stamp, in combination with an Ag grid electrode provides a proficient and versatile transparent top contact. Lamination of large size PEDOT:PSS films has been achieved on variety of surfaces resulting in ITO‐free solar cells. Power conversion efficiencies of 2.1% and 3.1% have been achieved for P3HT:PCBM layers in inverted and conventional polarity configurations, respectively. The power conversion efficiency is similar to conventional glass/ITO‐based solar cells. The high fill factor (65%) and the unaffected open‐circuit voltage that are consistently obtained in thick active layer inverted geometry devices, demonstrate that the laminated PEDOT:PSS top electrodes provide no significant potential or resistive losses.

AbstractHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene amplification in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) might be useful for modifying Herceptin therapy in breast cancer. In the process of investigating the utility of a microfluidic platform for detecting HER2 gene amplification in these cells, we observed novel results on discordance of HER2 status. Peripheral blood (8.5 mL) and bone marrow (BM) (7.5–10 mL) were collected prospectively from patients with clinical stages I–IV breast cancer. Mononuclear cells were recovered, stained with cytokeratin (CK), CD45, and DAPI, and processed through microfluidic channels for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). A ratio of HER2:CEP17 >2 in any CK+/CD45 or CK−/CD45 cell was regarded as positive for HER2 gene amplification. Peripheral blood from 95 patients and BM from 78 patients were studied. We found CK+/CD45−/DAPI+ CTCs in 27.3% of patients. We evaluated HER2 gene amplification by FISH in 88 blood and 78 BM specimens and found HER2+ CTCs in 1 of 9 (11.1%) and HER2+ DTCs (27.2%) in 3 of 11 patients with HER2+ primary tumor. Among patients with a HER2− primary tumor, 5 of 79 had HER2+ CTCs (6.3%) and 14 of 67 had HER2+ DTCs (20.8%). The overall rate of discordance in HER2 status was 15% between primary tumor and CTCs and 28.2% between primary tumor and DTCs. HER2 was amplified in CTCs and DTCs in a portion of both HER2+ and HER2− primary tumors. HER2 discordance was more frequent for DTCs. The clinical implications of evaluating HER2 status in CTCs and DTCs in breast cancer needs to be established in prospective clinical trials. The cell enrichment and extraction microfluidic technology provides a sensitive platform for evaluation of HER2 gene amplification in CTCs and DTCs.
Influence of the Precipitation Method on Acid–Base‐Catalyzed Reactions over Mg–Zr Mixed Oxides
Authors: Kozlowski Joseph T. , Behrens Malte , Schlögl Robert , Davis Robert J. 
Published: March 2013

AbstractTo examine the promotional effect that zirconia has on magnesia in catalysis, mixed oxides were prepared by coprecipitation under controlled‐pH conditions or rising‐pH conditions. The resulting mixed oxides were characterized by using NH3 and CO2 adsorption microcalorimetry, X‐ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The samples were also tested as catalysts for transesterification of tributyrin with methanol, coupling of acetone, and conversion of ethanol to ethene, ethanal, and butanol. Zirconia promoted the activity of MgO for both transesterification and acetone coupling reactions, presumably by exposing new acid–base pairs at the surface. During ethanol conversion, however, zirconia promoted the dehydration reactions. Characterization and reactivity results suggest that a Mg‐Zr sample prepared by controlled‐pH precipitation exposes more ZrO2 than a sample prepared by the rising‐pH method.

Published: March 2013

AbstractPPL, lipase from porcine pancreas, is first reported to catalyze direct asymmetric aldol reactions between aromatic aldehydes and cyclic ketones. More importantly, the catalytic activity of PPL was greatly promoted by a small quantity of water at 37 °C. A wide range of aromatic aldehydes reacted with cyclic ketones to provide the corresponding aldol products with high yields (up to 99 %) and moderate to good stereoselectivity (up to 90 % ee and 99:1 dr).

Published: March 2013

AbstractA numerical investigation on flow distribution and pressure drop characteristics in a plate‐fin heat exchanger is presented. Influences from length and width of the distribution channel were particularly investigated. Flow distribution in the studied model was improved by increasing the length or reducing the width of the distribution channel, but at the cost of an increased pressure drop. The relationship of flow distribution and pressure drop was analyzed by the porous medium approach. A dynamic balance phenomenon was observed and further studied. Based on the results, a novel strategy for the attainment of flow uniformity, which causes negligible pressure drop variation, was proposed. Finally, a performance effectiveness factor was developed for predicting the effect of the proposed strategy on the performance of plate‐fin heat exchangers.
