Les relations d’Argos avec ses voisines. Repentirs et mises au point
Authors: Piérart Marcel 
Published: April 2015

Les nouveaux documents financiers d’Argos en cours de publication nous obligent à récrire une partie de l’histoire de la cité au IV e s. avant J.-C. Dans cet article, on corrige ou complète quelques hypothèses dépassées sur les relations d’Argos avec ses voisines : Cléonai, Sparte, avec la Thyréatide, et Épidaure. Les faits suivants sont établis désormais 1˚ Argos s’arrogea dès qu’elle le put la présidence des Concours Néméens, même si elle en a laissé l’organisation aux gens de Cléonai, au moins aussi longtemps que le sanctuaire les a accueillis. 2˚ Argos s’empara de la Thyréatide dès 370/69, comme le prouve Diodore de Sicile, XV, 63,4-65, même si elle n’a probablement pas pu la garder. 3˚ Argos put établir pendant quelque temps à Épidaure dans le courant du IV e siècle une forme de clérouquie.
192-182 avant J.-C. : regards et réflexions sur dix ans d’histoire spartiate
Authors: Texier Jean-Georges 
Published: April 2015

On situe généralement l’adhésion de Sparte à la confédération achéenne en 192 avant J.-C. Un réexamen des sources peut conduire à une autre hypothèse : celle d’une simple alliance de 192 à 189, dont la rupture conduisit à l’intégration forcée de Sparte dans la confédération en 188. La plupart des Spartiates n’admettant pas la rudesse avec laquelle Philopœmen les soumettait au système achéen, les appels à Rome se multiplièrent. La situation de la cité fut alors au cœur des relations entre Romains et Achéens jusqu’en 182, date à laquelle un compromis aboutit à l’adhésion de Sparte à la confédération avec un régime dérogatoire.

Abstract
Hiromi Kubagawa and John E. Coligan coordinated an online meeting to define an appropriate nomenclature for the cell surface glycoprotein presently designated by different names: Toso, Fas apoptosis inhibitory molecule 3 (FAIM3), and IgM FcR (FcμR). FAIM3 and Faim3 are the currently approved symbols for the human and mouse genes, respectively, in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, Ensembl, and other databases. However, recent functional results reported by several groups of investigators strongly support a recommendation for renaming FAIM3/Faim3 as FCMR/Fcmr, a name better reflecting its physiological function as the FcR for IgM. Participants included 12 investigators involved in studying Toso/FAIM3(Faim3)/FμR, representatives from the Human Genome Nomenclature Committee (Ruth Seal) and the Mouse Genome Nomenclature Committee (Monica McAndrews), and an observer from the IgM research field (Michael Carroll). In this article, we provide a brief background of the key research on the Toso/FAIM3(Faim3)/FcμR proteins, focusing on the ligand specificity and functional activity, followed by a brief summary of discussion about adopting a single name for this molecule and its gene and a resulting recommendation for genome nomenclature committees.
What season suits you best? Seasonal light changes and cyanobacterial competition
Authors: Cascallares G. , Gleiser Pablo 
Published: April 2015

Nearly all living organisms, including some bacterial species, exhibit biological processes with a period of about 24 h called circadian (from the Latin circa, about and dies, day) rhythms. These rhythms allow living organisms to anticipate the daily alternation of light and darkness. Experiments carried out in cyanobacteria have shown the adaptive value of circadian clocks. In theseexperiments, a wild type cyanobacterial strain (with a 24 h circadian rhythm) and a mutantstrain (with a longer or shorter period) grow in competition. In different experiments, the external light dark cycle was chosen to match the circadian period of the different strains, revealing that the strain whose circadian period matches the light-dark cycle has a larger fitness. As a consequence, the initial population of one strain grows while the other decays. These experiments were made under fixed light and dark intervals. In Nature, however, this relationship changes according to the season. Therefore, seasonalchanges in light could affect the results of the competition. Using a theoretical model, we analyze how modulation of light can change the survival of the different cyanobacterial strains. Our results show that there is a clear shift in the competition due to the modulation of light, which could be verified experimentally.Received: 20 Novembre 2014, Accepted: 29 March 2015; Edited by: C.

Charles Fourier Versus the Gastronomes:
Authors: Levi Jane 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACT
This article discusses the ways in which Charles Fourier subverted and reelaborated early nineteenth-century gastronomic ideas to develop one of the most important aspects of utopian life in his Harmonic world: the social science and semireligion of gastrosophy. With the reinvention of “good taste” for the postrevolutionary bourgeoisie, freshly codified knowledge about the art and science of gastronomy became an important means of shaping these new consumers—literally and figuratively—via a stream of popular literature, scientific treatises, etiquette handbooks, and gastronomic guides. For Fourier, however, gastronomy was merely superficial and conspicuous overeating, its self-obsessed and selfish consumerism reflecting everything wrong with “civilized” society. His formulation of gastrosophy, in contrast, encapsulated a complete understanding of food production, cookery, and health, using all of these to make the world a better place by pleasurably and harmlessly realizing one's own desires and sharing them with others. This article examines gastrosophy, often skipped over as a frivolous diversion in his work, arguing that Fourier deliberately chose it as a wittily accessible means of both encapsulating his fully realized vision of Harmony and utterly refuting the emerging market-led model of society exemplified by Parisian gastronomy.
Food Choices and Voluntary Simplicity in Intentional Communities:
Authors: Aguilar Jade 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACTDrawing on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork at three egalitarian intentional communities in the United States, this article demonstrates how community members' race and class background affects their diet, food practices, and understanding of and commitment to voluntary simplicity. Previous research on food practices in intentional communities has typically focused on how diet is a way for members to “live their convictions,” and the community members in this study are no different. They too are using food choices to reflect what they value—namely, health, social welfare, environmental sustainability, and animal rights. This article builds upon this prior research by demonstrating how these stated values reflect predominantly white and middle-class dominant ideologies and unintentionally exclude, or make communal life more difficult for, nonwhite and lower-class members. This article also contributes to the scholarship on commitment in intentional communities by showing how the social class background of members impacts the sacrifices they are willing to make to stay in the community.
The Paleo Diet and the American Weight Loss Utopia, 1975–2014
Authors: Johnson Adrienne Rose 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACT
Paleo diets are both myths and manuals: they are myths of a lost golden age and utopian manuals for better bodies and a more perfect world. Paleo dieters believe that the human body is not adapted to civilization and reject modern ways of eating for foods that could have been hunted or gathered in the Paleolithic Era. Many of the estimated three million American Paleo dieters not only follow the dietary prescriptions, but also adopt the social, moral, and philosophical aspects of the Paleolithic way of life. The Paleo myth pathologizes the relationship between health and modernity, claiming that civilization has outpaced evolution and created a world hostile to human biology. Dieters believe that modern life has created a modern body hounded by false hungers, trapped in a fallen world, and overwhelmed by sadness, sickness, and stress. In turn, these diets promise that pre-agrarian or primitive living will restore the health and beauty enjoyed by our Paleolithic ancestors. Unlike earlier dreams of Lands of Plenty, Paleo diets promise refinement, paucity, and the instinctive recognition of natural pleasure. I argue that this mix of myth and manual creates a new type of embodied utopia in response to changing concepts and conditions of modernity.
Ustopian Breakfasts:
Authors: Boyd Shelley 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACT
In the third novel of Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy, breakfast creates a sense of hope and adaptability in the most dire of dystopias. In this postpandemic world where civilization is all but destroyed, the human survivors, who form a makeshift community with the Crakers, initially cling to reverse-utopian breakfasts: nostalgic replications of past meals that offer solace but have no long-term future because the material circumstances of their existence have ceased. Eventually recognizing that storytelling and food are powerful, interrelated tools for humanity's future reproduction, this tenuous community survives precisely because they imagine and reimagine themselves and their modes of consumption. In this way, MaddAddam offers a humble sense of hope through ever-changing breakfast foods that serve as both the physical means and symbol of humanity's imaginative reconstitution into the future.

Resumen

Rhizoctonia solani Kühn es un hongo fitopatógeno que ataca cultivos de arroz provocando disminución en el rendimiento de sus cosechas. Este trabajo evaluó el comportamiento de un consorcio bacteriano denominado “Lp” como agente biocontrolador del hongo fitopatógeno. Se determinó el efecto antifúngico de Lp frente a R. solani en cultivos duales in vitro; obteniéndose un 62 ± 1% de inhibición de crecimiento del hongo en medio Agar Papa Dextrosa y 58,0 ± 0,5% en agar nutritivo. El efecto antagónico estuvo relacionado a una actividad proteolítica extracelular presentes en sobrenadantes libres de células obtenidos de Lp, lo cual se determinó por zimografía. En pruebas de germinación en condiciones de laboratorio, la aplicación de Lp estimuló el crecimiento de plántulas de arroz. Estudios de campo preliminares indican un incremento de 44% en la producción de grano de arroz en cultivos tratados con Lp. Estos resultados demuestran que este consorcio bacteriano puede ser empleado como agente biocontrolador del hongo fitopatógeno R. solani Kühn.

Published: August 2024

Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) is a maize disease caused by the maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV), a potyvirus which causes yield losses of 30–100%. The present study aimed to isolate nanobodies against the MCMV coat protein (CP) for the diagnosis of MLN. MCMV CP expressed in Escherichia coli was used for llama immunization. VHH (i.e. variable heavy domain of heavy chain) gene fragments were prepared from blood drawn from the immunized llama and used to generate a library in E. coli TG1 cells. MCMV specific nanobodies were selected by three rounds of phage display and panning against MCMV CP. The selected nanobodies were finally expressed in E. coli WK6 cells and purified. Eleven MCMV‐specific nanobodies were identified and shown to detect MCMV in infected maize plants. Thus, our results show that nanobodies isolated from llama immunized with MCMV CP can distinguish infected and healthy maize plants, potentially enabling development of affordable MCMV detection protocols.
Adaptive ILC methods with less adaption parameters for non‐parameterized nonlinear continuous systems with nonsingular control gain matrices
Authors: Ding Ya‐Qiong , Li Xiao‐Dong 
Published: August 2024

SummaryIn this article, for non‐parameterized nonlinear continuous (NPNC) multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) systems, two combined iteration‐domain and time‐domain adaptive iterative learning control (ILC) algorithms are proposed to track iteration‐varying reference trajectories repetitively over a finite time interval. Different from the general requirement in adaptive control community that the control gain matrices of the controlled systems are real symmetric and positive‐definite, only the nonsingular property of the control gain matrices is assumed. Moreover, there are just two adaption parameters and one adaption parameter involved in the proposed two adaptive ILC algorithms respectively such that the computation load and memory‐space are greatly saved. A simulation example is utilized to illustrate the effectiveness of the two proposed adaptive ILC algorithms with less adaption parameters.

Published: August 2024

AbstractAddressing osteoporosis‐related bone defects, a supramolecular strategy is innovated for modifying carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone (CF/PEEK) composites. By covalently attaching intelligent macromolecules via in situ RAFT polymerization, leveraging the unique pathological microenvironment in patients with iron‐overloaded osteoporosis, intelligent supramolecular modified implant surface possesses multiple endogenous modulation capabilities. After implantation, surface brush‐like macromolecules initially resist macrophage adhesion, thereby reducing the level of immune inflammation. Over time, the molecular chains undergo conformational changes due to Fe (III) mediated supramolecular self‐assembly, transforming into mechanistic signals. These signals are then specifically transmitted to pre‐osteoblast cell through the binding capacity of the KRSR short peptide at the molecular terminus, induced their osteogenic differentiation via the YAP/β‐catenin signaling axis. Furthermore, osteoblasts secrete alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which significantly hydrolyzes phosphate ester bonds in surface macromolecular side groups, resulting in the release of alendronate (ALN). This process further improves the local osteoporotic microenvironment. This intelligent surface modification tailors bone repair to individual conditions, automatically realize multiple endogenous regulation once implanted, and truly realize spontaneous activation of a series of responses conducive to bone repair in vivo. It is evidenced by improved bone regeneration in iron‐overloaded osteoporotic rabbits and supported by in vitro validations.

Published: August 2024

AbstractOptical field enhancement maximization has been the ultimate objective of applications covering random lasers, spectroscopy, and ‐importantly‐ targeted drug delivery. Consequently, scientists resorted to plasmonic based approaches, which rendered the entire approach inapplicable due to biodegradability concerns. In another work, an experimental realization for a method of magneto‐optical transmission maximization is reported. However, possible limitations on the higher excitation power needed for biomedical applications are still questionable. Furthermore, a comprehensive, quantitative understanding of all material and design related parameters influencing this enhancement is still needed for complete control over possible applications. Therefore, successfully derives a model for the magneto‐optical transmission under a time‐varying 0–4 kHz magnetic field, exhaustively accounting for material and design related phenomena; birefringence of hematite, dissipation, randomness, and anisotropy on the dielectric function, scattering cross‐section, and polarizability, for the first time. The model achieves an accuracy of 99.99% over the band 300–1100 nm and exhausts the model limitations to the decay time constant of Cotton–Mouton co‐effects. The dynamics of the problem are also derived, accounting for the influence of the magnetic field on the viscosity of the ferrofluid, which leads to an in‐depth, required understanding of the magneto‐optic interactions with ferrofluids for efficient applicability.
Electrodes for High‐𝜅 Molecular Crystal Antimony Trioxide Gate Dielectrics for 2D Electronics

Published: August 2024

AbstractWafer‐scale deposition of high‐𝜅 gate dielectrics compatible with atomically thin van der Waals layered semiconductors (e.g., MoS2, WS2, WSe2) is urgently needed for practical applications of field effect transistors based on 2D materials. A study on a high‐𝜅 molecular crystal antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) gate dielectric examined the role of electrode material on dielectric degradation and breakdown. It is demonstrated that the thin films of Sb2O3 can be uniformly deposited on a wafer scale. The current–voltage (I–V) curves show tightly controlled distributions of both leakage current and breakdown voltage. Electrical measurements reveal that defects are generated gradually upon electrical stressing. The evaluation of degradation is based on charge trapping, stress‐induced leakage current, and dielectric breakdown measurements. The breakdown voltage distribution follows a tight monomodal Weibull distribution suggesting a high quality of the film. Comparing Ti and Au as gate electrodes, both the breakdown field and the tunnel current are affected by the choice of electrode material. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the chemistry at the electrode/Sb2O3 interface plays an important role and that Ti scavenges oxygen from the Sb2O3, forming a defective oxide layer at the Ti/Sb2O3 interface. For the Au electrode, this interfacial reaction is completely absent, improving the dielectric performance.

AbstractChloroprocaine is favored in anesthesia for its effectiveness and safety but is produced through complex, environmentally harmful processes. There is a growing interest in developing greener, more cost‐effective methods for producing chloroprocaine. Here, we establish a green and cost‐effective photoelectrochemical (PEC) approach for synthesizing chloroprocaine from procaine using a WO3 photoanode with oxygen vacancies. Achieving a high yield of 18.8 μmol cm−2 h−1 with selectivity of 92% and FE of 99%, this method leverages a free radical chain mechanism initiated by Cl· radicals formed over the WO3. The incorporation of oxygen vacancies enhances light absorption and charge separation, facilitating Cl· and Cl2 generation critical for its synthesis. We successfully produced 37.4 mg of chloroprocaine and 5.4 mL of hydrogen using a self‐powered PEC device, demonstrating the method effectiveness and environmental friendliness for chloroprocaine synthesis and hydrogen production.

Published: August 2024

AbstractPolyacrylonitrile (PAN)‐based precursor fibers with different mechanical properties prepared by wet‐spinning and its correlation with microstructure was researched, the primary structural factors that affecting its properties were analyzed. The tensile strength and modulus of precursor fibers increased from 4.63 cN/dtex to 9.16 cN/dtex and 99.09 cN/dtex to 168.92 cN/dtex, respectively, with the increase in crystallinity from 69.29% to 87.84% and orientation degree increased from 83.95% to 93.81%, high performance precursor fibers could be achieved by decrease in the crystallite size and interlayer spacing, these aggregation structure plays a decisive role to the mechanical properties of fibers. The integrality of aggregation structure and properties could reflected by boiling water shrinkage behavior and glass transition temperature from the side. The fracture morphology of fibers with different properties were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and three fracture characteristics were observed, PF1 and PF3 presented the radial extended fracture without microfibril pull out, radial cluster fracture with the pull out of microfibril for PF2, PF4–PF6, together with the axial splitting pattern in PF6, which was revealed by microfibrils/fibrils in longitudinal and transverse combined with solution etching. Precursor fibers with less voids, without serious skin‐core, continuous arrangement, tightly stacked, well‐developed and complete oriented microfibrils/fibrils, exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Possible fracture process was given from the perspective of aggregation structure and microfibrils/fibrils, which become dominant factors determining properties of precursor fibers. Improve the performance could be achieved by regulating surface structure and cross‐sectional shape. As one of the main structural factors that determining properties, by reducing diameter could minimize the numbers and sizes of defects.
