Mouret en Rouergue : un castrum, des châteaux
Authors: Pousthomis-Dalle Nelly , Pradalié Gérard , Ferrand Guilhem , Campech Sylvie , Escande Florence , Hautefeuille Florent , Pousthomis Bernard , Stephant Pierrick 
Published: August 2013

Since 1998, the castrum of Mouret has been the object of a collective research project with the goal of confronting written documentation and archaeological and monumental data. This castrum of modest dimensions includes four castles, two of which continue to dominate a few of the residences that composed this village. To approach the dialectic between power and residence, its study must concern not only the
edifices themselves, but also the system of which the coseigneury was a part, its topographical and legal
implications, and the relations of the castrum with the territory and the rest of the habitat, agglomerated or not.

Summary
Background: Advanced decision-support capabilities for prehospital trauma care may prove effective at improving patient care. Such functionality would be possible if an analysis platform were connected to a transport vital-signs monitor. In practice, there are technical challenges to implementing such a system. Not only must each individual component be reliable, but, in addition, the connectivity between components must be reliable.
Objective: We describe the development, validation, and deployment of the Automated Processing of Physiologic Registry for Assessment of Injury Severity (APPRAISE) platform, intended to serve as a test bed to help evaluate the performance of decision-support algorithms in a prehospital environment.
Methods: We describe the hardware selected and the software implemented, and the procedures used for laboratory and field testing.
Results: The APPRAISE platform met performance goals in both laboratory testing (using a vital-sign data simulator) and initial field testing. After its field testing, the platform has been in use on Boston MedFlight air ambulances since February of 2010.
Conclusion: These experiences may prove informative to other technology developers and to healthcare stakeholders seeking to invest in connected electronic systems for prehospital as well as in-hospital use. Our experiences illustrate two sets of important questions: are the individual components reliable (e.g., physical integrity, power, core functionality, and end-user interaction) and is the connectivity between components reliable (e.g., communication protocols and the metadata necessary for data interpretation)? While all potential operational issues cannot be fully anticipated and eliminated during development, thoughtful design and phased testing steps can reduce, if not eliminate, technical surprises.
Assessing the Risk and Prognosis of Thrombotic Complications in Cancer Patients
Authors: Kyriazi Vasiliki , Theodoulou Elisavet 
Published: August 2013

Context.—Cancer is characterized by the development of a prothrombotic state. Approximately 15% to 20% and 1.5% to 3.1% of cancer patients develop venous and arterial thrombosis, respectively, whereas 18% to 20% of idiopathic venous events are caused by an occult neoplasia. The highest risk is observed in hematologic, gastrointestinal, and lung malignancies, as well as in patients with active disease, especially in the first 3 months after cancer diagnosis. Hospitalization, surgical interventions, and implanted venous devices increase the thrombotic risk. Patients with metastatic disease, febrile neutropenia, infections, and severe comorbidities experience more frequently a thrombotic event. A contemporary prechemotherapy predictive model incorporates both clinical and biologic parameters, such as the primary cancer site, platelet count, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, use of erythropoietic agents, and body mass index. Several studies aim to clarify the prognostic value of tissue factor, P-selectin, thrombin generation, microparticles, and D-dimers.
Objectives.—To summarize current views on epidemiology, risk factors, and predictive variables, discussing the future perspectives and existing limitations in clinical practice.
Data Sources.—Review of published literature, including review papers, epidemiologic studies, and clinical trials, in online medical databases.
Conclusions.—The thrombogenic properties of tumor cells affect the prognosis and quality of life for the cancer population. Despite the improved awareness and prompt use of thromboprophylaxis, recent studies reported increased rates of thrombotic events, whereas the annual risks for thrombosis recurrence and bleeding are 21% and 12%, respectively. The clinical use of risk factors and prognostic parameters could allow for patient risk stratification and individualization of anticoagulant treatment.
La construction du Parlement du Mercosur
Authors: Dri Clarissa Franzoi 
Published: August 2013

Les principes démocratiques des États occidentaux influencent de plus en plus la façon dont ceux-ci conduisent leurs relations internationales. Les acteurs parlementaires, par exemple, organisent des forums transnationaux afin de discuter de leurs perspectives sur la politique internationale. En Amérique latine, pourtant, cette tendance est limitée par la tradition présidentielle et par le caractère intergouvernemental du régionalisme. Comment donc la création d’un parlement au sein du Mercosur peut-elle être expliquée ? Cet article cherche à évaluer les raisons de la construction institutionnelle du Parlement du Mercosur au-delà du discours officiel. L’analyse, fondée sur le cadre théorique des « trois I » et sur des entretiens qualitatifs, identifie des facteurs liés aux institutions, aux intérêts et aux idées qui ont joué ensemble dans ce résultat politique.
Équilibres régionaux et stratégies des non-puissances
Authors: Chabbi Mourad , Lim Yves-Heng 
Published: August 2013

Si le programme de recherche réaliste s’est largement focalisé sur les stratégies des grandes puissances, il s’est montré relativement indifférent à celles qu’ont mises en place les autres États formant le système international. En prolongeant les axiomes réalistes, ce travail montre qu’il existe une stratégie particulièrement efficace pour les non-puissances, celle-ci consistant en une forme originale d’« engagement multidirectionnel » qui vise à créer un équilibre au sein du système. Axé sur deux régions majeures du système mondial contemporain, ce travail montre que les non-puissances du Golfe et de l’Asie du Sud-Est ont mis en place de telles stratégies dans l’après-guerre froide.

Authors: Baggini Arri Iván 
Published: August 2013

La violencia en la escuela se ha constituido a lo largo de los últimosaños en México en un tema prioritario en las investigaciones sociales,como asimismo en un tópico destacado en la agenda pública debido al incrementode los casos de inseguridad en el interior de los establecimientoseducativos y en su entorno, además del grado de crueldad que denotan lasacciones violentas y sus consecuencias entre otros motivos, originando unamultiplicidad de estudios que, amparados en marcos teóricos y disciplinariosdiversos, han permitido un análisis del tema desde la perspectiva educativa,social, política, psicológica y de la salud. No obstante, la limitadaliteratura disponible que escruta este problema social desde la mirada de lasrepresentaciones sociales hace que el presente escrito muestre el análisis delas narrativas que los actores de una escuela secundaria periférica de la ciudadde México tienen sobre la violencia escolar con la pretensión de conocerel contenido de las representaciones sociales. Para alcanzar este objetivo setuvo en cuenta un diseño cualitativo en donde se destaca la utilización dela entrevista, la observación y la revisión documental como las técnicas quepermiten la construcción de los datos a partir de los testimonios ofrecidos por los actores escolares de una escuela secundaria y la teoría fundamentadacomo el recurso para la reconstrucción del contenido de las representaciones.La importancia de estudiar este tema radica en la necesidad de hacervisible los significados sociales que el sentido común le atribuye a este fenómenopara entender las prácticas agresivas que se suscitan en el interior dela escuela, además de brindar insumos que ayuden a una revisión de las políticaseducativas que se implementan actualmente para la creación de ambientesescolares basados en el desarrollo de una cultura de la paz. En estesentido, consideramos que el significado de la violencia escolar es construidopor los diversos actores a partir de la conjunción de numerosos factoresde orden subjetivo y social, dando lugar a la construcción de cuatro tipos derepresentaciones que tienden a complementarse y yuxtaponerse en su interpretacióncomo orientadoras de la acción individual y colectiva, originadolos siguientes significados a saber: la violencia escolar como instrumento,la violencia como una forma de relación escolar, la violencia escolar comorasgo identitario y la violencia escolar como efecto de las transformacionessociales.
Empirical relationships between natural vibration period and height of buildings in Singapore
Authors: Pan Tso‐Chien , Goh Key Seng , Megawati Kusnowidjaja 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYSingapore is a classic case of a modern metropolis with low hazard but high exposure to the seismicity in Sumatra. Because of land shortage, more than 80% of the population lives in high‐rise residential buildings. As part of the efforts to assess the seismic performance of buildings in Singapore subjected to long‐distance Sumatran earthquakes, relationships between the natural vibration period and height of high‐rise public residential buildings in Singapore are derived empirically by conducting ambient vibration tests on 116 buildings. The measured buildings have a height ranging from 4 to 30 stories. The aspect ratio of buildings in plan is found to be insignificant in affecting the natural vibration period of the first mode of the buildings. The period‐height relationships are derived using regression analysis considering the site properties of a building. It is concluded that the vibration periods estimated from the proposed period‐height relationship for buildings located at soft‐soil site are about 40% longer than the vibration periods estimated for buildings located at firm‐soil site. Measurements are also conducted to study the influence of buildings on the measured frequency of the surrounding soil. For this purpose, two buildings with 25 and 30 stories located at firm‐soil site and soft‐soil site, respectively, are selected. It is found that the distance of building influence on the measured frequency of the surrounding soil may reach up to one building height for a firm‐soil site and two building heights for a soft‐soil site. Additional data of natural vibration periods of 19 instrumented residential buildings, which have height ranging from 9 to 30 stories, were obtained from the building response recorded during the September 30, 2009 Sumatran earthquake event. The natural vibration periods of these buildings are compared with those estimated using the proposed period‐height relationships, and the absolute differences are found to be less than 12%.

Published: August 2013

AbstractBACKGROUNDThe availability of efficient pretreatments is a priority for the development of lignocellulose biorefineries. In this context, the utilization of widespread invasive raw materials and green solvents shows potential advantages. This study provides an experimental assessment on the pretreatment of Acacia dealbata with the ionic liquid 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc).RESULTSUnder the selected operational conditions (150 °C for 30 min), EMIMAc pretreatment led to favorable percentages of cellulose and xylan recoveries (88% and 66%, respectively), and resulted in about a 13‐fold increase in cellulose conversion and a 20‐fold increase in xylan with respect to the untreated raw material.CONCLUSIONThe valorization of Acacia dealbata by EMIMAc pretreatments followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the resulting solids led to high fermentable glucose yields suitable as carbon sources for the biotechnological production of chemicals and biofuels. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry
SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL? STATE OF THE DAMS AND MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
Authors: Vedachalam S. , Riha S. J. 
Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTDams are a critical component of water infrastructure, providing services such as water supplies, recreational opportunities and flood control. At the same time, dams alter the flow regime of rivers and the biota that inhabit them. Large dams have been the subject of many studies because of their potentially significant impacts on stream hydrology and ecosystems. However, most dams are not large and consequently have received far less attention. Data for more than 5700 dams in New York State, USA located in 17 watersheds were used to develop watershed level metrics that relate the characteristics of the dams to the hydrology and demographics of each watershed. Metrics presented, stratified by watershed, include median structure age, density, dams per stream length, persons per dam, storage per drainage area, storage per person and percent high impact dams (high hazard and large). These metrics were used to perform a simple characterization of the 17 watersheds. Considerable regional differences in these parameters suggest varying management strategies in each watershed. A new era of river management has resulted in the removal of many dams, which is driven by the high cost of maintenance and state regulations. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Cyclic ductile and brittle deformation related to coseismic thrust fault propagation: Structural record at the base of a basement nappe (Preveli, Crete)
Authors: Nüchter Jens‐Alexander , Wassmann Sara , Stöckhert Bernhard 
Published: August 2013

AbstractThe structural record at the base of a basement nappe (Preveli nappe, Crete, Greece) thrust upon sedimentary rocks is investigated, aimed on understanding mechanisms which result in decoupling of the thrust sheet from its original substratum. We identify several superimposed deformation stages, each with characteristic structural style and indications of episodic deformation at initially high differential stress. The final stage involves formation of a matrix supported breccia transected by pseudotachylytes, comprising the lowermost 30 m of the nappe. Brecciation and pseudotachylyte formation occurred in a single event, and structures were not modified afterward. Complete induration of breccia and composition of phengite crystallized during devitrification of pseudotachylytes place the sequence of events into the middle crust. We propose a model relating episodic deformation and cyclic stress history to propagation of a thrust fault in a limited number of seismic events. Terminal brecciation and frictional fusion record passage of the fault front beneath the site of observation and decoupling of the thrust sheet. Absence of discernible further deformation is consistent with negligible basal friction during transport as a nappe. Brecciation and pseudotachylyte formation mark the switch from a history of repeated coseismic loading and postseismic stress relaxation in the plastosphere, driven by seismic events on the approaching thrust fault, to passive transport with deformation localized in a weak thrust plane. For a sequence of superimposed ductile to brittle structures, our model provides an alternative to progressive cooling and exhumation concomitant with deformation over millions of years.

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal three‐dimensional ultrasound with volume contrast imaging (VCI) for preoperative assessment of depth of myometrial invasion and cervical involvement in women with endometrial cancer.MethodsTransvaginal volume acquisition of the uterus was performed in 60 consecutive patients with histological diagnosis of endometrial cancer who were scheduled for primary surgical treatment. Depth of myometrial invasion and presence or absence of cervical involvement were assessed using VCI in multiplanar display mode. Results were compared to final postoperative histopathological findings. Patients with histological high‐risk cell types, including Grade 3 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, papillary serous carcinoma and carcinosarcoma, were excluded.ResultsForty patients were included in the analysis. The accuracy of VCI in assessing single‐stage myometrial invasion (superficial or deep) was 92.5%. In the prediction of deep myometrial invasion, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of VCI were 100%, 89.7%, 78.6% and 100%, respectively. The accuracy of VCI in assessing cervical involvement was 90.0%. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of VCI in predicting the presence of cervical involvement were 100%, 86.2%, 73.3% and 100%, respectively.ConclusionTransvaginal VCI is an uncomplicated method that is able to predict with reasonable accuracy the depth of myometrial invasion and cervical involvement in women with endometrial cancer.

Coset conformal field theory and instanton counting on ℂ2/ℤ
p
Authors: Alfimov M. N. , Belavin A. A. , Tarnopolsky G. M. 
Published: August 2013

Abstract

We study conformal field theory with the symmetry algebra
$ \mathcal{A}\left( {2,\ p} \right)={{{\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}{(n)_2}}} \left/ {{\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}{{{\left( {n-p} \right)}}_2}}} \right.} $
. In order to support the conjecture that this algebra acts on the moduli space of instantons on ℂ2/ℤ
p
, we calculate the characters of its representations and check their coincidence with the generating functions of the fixed points of the moduli space of instantons.
We show that the algebra
$ \mathcal{A}\left( {2,\ p} \right) $
can be realized in two ways. The first realization is connected with the cross-product of p Virasoro and p Heisenberg algebras:
$ {{\mathcal{H}}^p} $

× Vir
p
. The second realization is connected with:
$ {{\mathcal{H}}^p} \times \widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}{(p)_2}\times \left( {\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}{(2)_p}\times {{{\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}{(2)_{n-p }}}} \left/ {{\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}{(2)_n}}} \right.}} \right) $
. The equivalence of these two realizations provides the non-trivial identity for the characters of
$ \mathcal{A}\left( {2,\ p} \right) $
.
The moduli space of instantons on ℂ2/ℤ
p
admits two different compactifications. This leads to two different bases for the representations of
$ \mathcal{A}\left( {2,\ p} \right) $
. We use this fact to explain the existence of two forms of the instanton pure partition functions.
Experimental investigation of freely falling thin disks. Part 2. Transition of three-dimensional motion from zigzag to spiral

Published: August 2013

AbstractThe free-fall motion of a thin disk with small dimensionless moments of inertia (${I}^{\ast } \lt 1{0}^{- 3} $) was investigated experimentally. The transition from two-dimensional zigzag motion to three-dimensional spiral motion occurs due to the growth of three-dimensional disturbances. Oscillations in the direction normal to the zigzag plane increase with the development of this instability. At the same time, the oscillation of the nutation angle decreases to zero and the angle remains constant. The effects of initial conditions (release angle) were investigated. Two kinds of transition modes, zigzag–spiral transition and zigzag–spiral–zigzag intermittence transition, were observed to be separated by a critical Reynolds number. In addition, the solution of the generalized Kirchhoff equations shows that the small ${I}^{\ast } $ is responsible for the growth of disturbances in the third dimension (perpendicular to the planar motion).
A GENERALIZATION OF THE SWARTZ EQUALITY

Published: August 2013

AbstractFor a given (d−1)-dimensional simplicial complex Γ, we denote its h-vector by h(Γ)=(h0(Γ),h1(Γ),. . .,hd(Γ)) and set h−1(Γ)=0. The known Swartz equality implies that if Δ is a (d−1)-dimensional Buchsbaum simplicial complex over a field, then for every 0 ≤ i ≤ d, the inequality ihi(Δ)+(d−i+1)hi−1(Δ) ≥ 0 holds true. In this paper, by using these inequalities, we give a simple proof for a result of Terai (N. Terai, On h-vectors of Buchsbaum Stanley–Reisner rings, Hokkaido Math. J. 25(1) (1996), 137–148) on the h-vectors of Buchsbaum simplicial complexes. We then generalize the Swartz equality (E. Swartz, Lower bounds for h-vectors of k-CM, independence, and broken circuit complexes, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 18(3) (2004/05), 647–661), which in turn leads to a generalization of the above-mentioned inequalities for Cohen–Macaulay simplicial complexes in co-dimension t.
A place of pilgrimage: a proposal for the original location of the Arca of Saint Cerbone
Authors: Norman Diana 
Published: August 2013

UN LUOGO DI PELLEGRINAGGIO: UNA PROPOSTA PER LA POSIZIONE ORIGINARIA DELL'ARCA DI SAN CERBONELa sepoltura e la commemorazione dei santi nell'Italia tardomedievale è al momento al centro dell'attenzione degli storici dell'arte. L'Arca di San Cerbone, eseguita nel 1324 dallo scultore senese Goro di Gregorio, è un esempio importante di tali monumenti funebri commemorativi. Nonostante l'Arca si trovi attualmente nel coro di inizio Trecento della cattedrale di Massa Marittima, fino agli anni '50 era collocata sotto l'altare maggiore della cattedrale, posizione per la quale si riteneva fosse stata specificamente eseguita. L'articolo mette in discussione quest'opinione comune. Nel ripercorrere le vicende costruttive del monumento funebre e delle venerate reliquie di San Cerbone, l'articolo dimostra che la collocazione dell'Area al di sotto delPaltare maggiore awenne probabilmente solo negli anni '80 del quindicesimo secolo. L'analisi più dettagliata della stessa Area, insieme a quella della cattedrale e della sua storia costruttiva, indicano che l'Arca era in origine un monumento isolato, situato nella navata settentrionale della cattedrale. Tale posizione avrebbe permesso un piu facile accesso all'imponente monumento funebre da parte dei pellegrini e dei devoti di San Cerbone, e avrebbe inoltre facilitato la comprensione e l'apprezzamento del sofisticato programma di immagini scolpite sull'Arca.

‘MAPPING ROME‘: CAMBIAMENTI URBANI NEL QUARTIERE DI SANTA CATERINA DELLA ROTALa zona di Roma intorno Piazza Santa Caterina della Rota presenta una ricca e varia serie di archivi per lo studio del quartiere. Gli archivi del Venerabile Collegio Inglese dimostrano la presenza di inglesi e delle loro proprietà nel quartiere e indicano inoltre le tracce di un declino della comunità inglese a Roma nei due decenni precedenti la rottura di Enrico VIII con la Chiesa Cattolica. Nonostante il Collegio Inglese continuò a funzionare, la sua importanza nella zona passo da quella di un centro inglese a quella di un maggiore proprietario locale.
