Effect of Fabric Weave on Stick-Slip Properties of Woven Fabrics
Authors: Bilisik Kadir 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
The aim of this study was to understand the stick-slip properties of dry polyester plain, ribs and satin woven fabric weaves. It was found that the amount of stick-slip force was related to the number of interlacement points in the fabric, whereas the amount of accumulative retraction force was related to fabric structural response. Stick-slip force and accumulative retraction force depend on fabric weave, fabric density, the number of pulled ends in the fabric and fabric sample dimensions. The weft directional single and multiple yarn stick-slip and accumulative retraction forces of dry plain fabrics in fabric edge and centre regions were higher than those in the satin fabric due to fabric weave. In addition, the warp directional single and multiple yarn stick-slip and accumulative retraction forces in the meso-cell-1 to the meso-cell-6 of dry wide and long satin fabric in fabric edge were higher than those in the weft direction due to fabric density. Stick-slip and accumulative retraction forces of polyester fabric in the multiple yarn pull-out test were higher than those of the single yarn pull-out test.

Abstract
Cotton is one of the most commonly used fibres for making knitwear. Some of the limitations of pure cotton knits include their tendency to shrink, relatively limited durability, and poor wash and wear properties. In order to overcome these limitations knitwear are also produced from polyester and cotton blends, however, at the cost of reduction in comfort properties. The objective of this study was to improve the thermo-physiological comfort properties of knits made from polyester/cotton (P/C) blends through simple chemical and biological treatments. The specimens of P/C knits were subjected to treatments with caustic soda solutions and the cellulase enzymes. It was found that the air permeability and perspiration management properties of P/C knits can be significantly improved by appropriate caustic treatment. However, the biological treatment with cellulase enzymes is comparatively less effective in making any improvement in the thermo-physiological comfort properties of P/C knits.

AbstractMechanical properties of plants and underlying structure-property relationships are important for agricultural purposes as well as for biomimetic concepts. In this study, the effect of mechanical stimulation on morphology and bending properties of the stalk was investigated for Sorghum bicolor (Poaceae), a widely used drought-tolerant biomass grass. An experimental set-up allowing for defined growth and mechanical perturbation (flexing) during a defined growth period was designed. Mechanical properties of individual internodes of the stalk were determined by three-point bending tests. We found that the three investigated lines showed differences in their general bending strength in the non-stimulated condition. However, similar high range of bending strength values was measured for all plant lines after they underwent the mechanical stimulation procedure. The anatomy of internode cross-sections was examined to evaluate structure-property relationships. An increased thickness of the outer sclerenchymatous tissue was observed for internodes with higher bending strength values. Dried internodes fail under lower strains but showed higher bending strength. These findings show that mechanosensitivity in sorghum is dependent on genetic as well as environmental factors. The experimental system presented here offers new straight-forward possibilities for S. bicolor line selection for applications requiring mechanical strength of the stalk.

Notre expérience au sein de Maisons des adolescents (MDA) permet de penser une théorie de la pratique, sur site pluridisciplinaire. Celle-ci désignée par le « prendre soin », décline différents paradoxes, compris comme des risques d’achoppements, dont les administrations, les services et les professionnels doivent pourtant se saisir pour aider les adolescents les plus en difficultés.
Les roses noires : fabriquer une langue pour créer un espace intermédiaire ? Plurilinguisme et identités en construction à l'adolescence
Authors: Pestre Élise 
Published: October 2014

Le documentaire Les roses noires met subtilement en scène les rapports complexes d’adolescentes, issues des « quartiers nord » des grandes métropoles, à leur langue, et à leur sexe. Si cette langue provocatrice agit parfois comme un facteur d’évincement social, elle a également le pouvoir de renforcer le lien entre pairs et de permettre au sujet de composer avec ses identités plurielles. À l’intersection de la différence des sexes, des âges de la vie et des territoires divers – culturels, psychiques et politiques –, l’usage de cette langue métissée ouvre à la création d’un espace intermédiaire, situé entre les langues et entre les lieux.
Les apports du cinéma à une (géo-)graphie des frontières mobiles et des migrations frontalières
Authors: Mekdjian Sarah 
Published: October 2014

Les frontières sont irréductibles à des tracés géopolitiques linéaires. Leurs fonctions de barrière ou d’interface se diffusent dans l’espace et dans le temps, en fonction des politiques étatiques, de l’intensité et de la diversité des flux migratoires qui s’y déploient. Nous proposons d’appréhender les frontières depuis les déplacements et les migrations qu’elles génèrent, c’est-à-dire depuis leur dynamique. Art du temps et du mouvement, le cinéma peut-il contribuer aux réflexions géographiques sur les déplacements frontaliers et la frontière mobile, en tant qu’étendue instable, constituée « chemin faisant » ? En quoi le cinéma de fiction peut-il participer à l’élaboration d’un projet scientifique géographique ? Les caractéristiques des images cinématographiques ouvrent-elles des perspectives pour la figuration des frontières mobiles en géographie ?
Quelques jalons pour une géographie de l'économie sociale et solidaire
Authors: Bioteau Emmanuel , Fleuret Sébastien 
Published: October 2014

On prête à l’ESS plusieurs vertus qui renvoient à des thèmes travaillés par la géographie : gouvernance et développement local, territorialisation et ancrage, proximités. Or, la géographie s’est finalement assez peu penchée sur cet objet de recherche. Ce texte dresse un état des savoirs et propose quelques pistes d’investigation pour une géographie de l’économie sociale et solidaire : premièrement une démarche de dénombrement, classification et cartographie, deuxièmement une construction interdisciplinaire à la rencontre de l’économie, de la sociologie et des sciences politiques, troisièmement une nouvelle lecture des jeux d’échelles entre le local et le global, et enfin une relecture de la notion de durabilité incluant la durabilité économique et sociale. Le texte suggère notamment l’analyse des modèles territoriaux d’ESS dans le contexte du tournant néolibéral, et la lecture des jeux d’acteurs sur le terrain, entre promotion d’activités sociales et solidaires et action publique.
Quand la ville fait monde...
Authors: Cambier Alain 
Published: October 2014

La ville est apparue comme l’illustration par excellence de l’instauration d’un monde humain. Mais en perdant ses murs, la mégapole tentaculaire aurait rendu ses habitants orphelins de la cité. Au point de voir en elle la ville se défaire... L’expansion de l’urbain n’est-elle pas alors l’occasion de faire entendre l’exigence d’une redéfinition de la citoyenneté, prenant en compte l’être-au-monde des citadins ? À condition toutefois que les artefacts de la mégapole offrent suffisamment de dimension symbolique pour que les usagers puissent se la réapproprier et s’y retrouver. Car quand elle fait signe, la ville contemporaine favorise notre « aptitude au monde » et déploie des horizons plutôt que des frontières.

Proposition d'un modèle d'espaces favorables aux habiletés stratégiques
Authors: Grenier Corinne 
Published: October 2014

De nombreuses contraintes économiques et réglementaires ainsi qu’un isomorphisme institutionnel prégnant configurent le champ de la santé, laissant considérer que les marges stratégiques des acteurs y sont faibles. Au contraire, nous nous proposons de repenser ces marges en termes de construction d’habiletés stratégiques, de manière nuancée, en récusant une dualité entre d’une part le « tout régulé par les politiques » et d’autre part un discours de certains professionnels du « laisser-nous faire ». Pour ce faire, nous dégageons des 5 articles qui constituent ce numéro thématique un ensemble de concepts qui offre un renouveau théorique, car ayant tous la particularité de dépasser les termes de la dualité qu’ils questionnent, et dès lors de redonner une certaine épaisseur à notre manière d’instruire ces dualités, permettant de repérer et d’embrasser les multiples complexités qui traversent le champ de la santé. Nous nous inspirons alors des travaux de Dougherty et Dunne (2010) pour proposer un modèle théorique des espaces favorables aux habiletés stratégiques des acteurs et organisations du champ de la santé. A travers un tel espace, nous invitons à reconsidérer la dimension éminemment collective de la refonte du champ de la santé ; non pas uniquement parce que cette refonte doit reposer sur davantage de coordination, mais surtout parce que cette refonte ne peut être conçue et mise en œuvre que de manière collective.

Great development in distance learning has been made in the last two decades facilitated by the rapid evolution of technology, the huge development of computer networks and the large use of internet and personal computers. The World Wide Web with its different web services offers learners and teachers’ new ways of learning and teaching; students can study at their own pace and perform practical tasks remotely.
We, at the University of Bordj Bou Arreridj, are involved in the eSience (rESeau maghrébIn de laboratoirEs à distance) project which aims to link three elabs around the Maghreb countries namely Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. The project is coordinated by the University of Bordeaux 1, France with the participation of many European partners. These elabs will propose practical and theoretical teaching units that will be part of their degree program.
In this paper we present our university’s platform architecture, focusing on the web interface. First we introduce the service broker, which allows students to communicate and use the various platforms of the network. Second we present the simulation server and give an example of its usage.
Mapping Splicing Quantitative Trait Loci in RNA-Seq
Authors: Jia Cheng , Hu Yu , Liu Yichuan , Li Mingyao 
Published: October 2014

Background One of the major mechanisms of generating mRNA diversity is alternative splicing, a regulated process that allows for the flexibility of producing functionally different proteins from the same genomic sequences. This process is often altered in cancer cells to produce aberrant proteins that drive the progression of cancer. A better understanding of the misregulation of alternative splicing will shed light on the development of novel targets for pharmacological interventions of cancer. Methods In this study, we evaluated three statistical methods, random effects meta-regression, beta regression, and generalized linear mixed effects model, for the analysis of splicing quantitative trait loci (sQTL) using RNA-Seq data. All the three methods use exon-inclusion levels estimated by the PennSeq algorithm, a statistical method that utilizes paired-end reads and accounts for non-uniform sequencing coverage. Results Using both simulated and real RNA-Seq datasets, we compared these three methods with GLiMMPS, a recently developed method for sQTL analysis. Our results indicate that the most reliable and powerful method was the random effects meta-regression approach, which identified sQTLs at low false discovery rates but higher power when compared to GLiMMPS. Conclusions We have evaluated three statistical methods for the analysis of sQTLs in RNA-Seq. Results from our study will be instructive for researchers in selecting the appropriate statistical methods for sQTL analysis.
How could health information exchange better meet the needs of care practitioners?
Authors: Kaushal R. , Vest J.R. , Kierkegaard P. 
Published: October 2014

SummaryBackground: Health information exchange (HIE) has the potential to improve the quality of health-care by enabling providers with better access to patient information from multiple sources at the point of care. However, HIE efforts have historically been difficult to establish in the US and the failure rates of organizations created to foster HIE have been high.Objectives: We sought to better understand how RHIO-based HIE systems were used in practice and the challenges care practitioners face using them. The objective of our study were to so investigate how HIE can better meet the needs of care practitioners.Methods: We performed a multiple-case study using qualitative methods in three communities in New York State. We conducted interviews onsite and by telephone with HIE users and non-users and observed the workflows of healthcare professionals at multiple healthcare organizations participating in a local HIE effort in New York State.Results: The empirical data analysis suggests that challenges still remain in increasing provider usage, optimizing HIE implementations and connecting HIE systems across geographic regions. Important determinants of system usage and perceived value includes users experienced level of available information and the fit of use for physician workflows.Conclusions: Challenges still remain in increasing provider adoption, optimizing HIE implementations, and demonstrating value. The inability to find information reduced usage of HIE. Healthcare organizations, HIE facilitating organizations, and states can help support HIE adoption by ensuring patient information is accessible to providers through increasing patient consents, fostering broader participation, and by ensuring systems are usable.Citation: Kierkegaard P, Kaushal R, Vest JR.

Chaucer's Pentameter:
Authors: Duffell Martin J. 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
This article brings together evidence from three disciplines to support a new and more detailed analysis of Chaucer's pentameter line. First, it draws upon linguistics, explaining the concepts and terms introduced by American scholars working in the field of generative metrics. Second, it embraces the use of statistical techniques in the analysis of poetic meter, first pioneered by Russian metrists. Third, it examines textual evidence from European literary history of how poets before Chaucer versified in France, Italy, and England. This combination of data suggests that Chaucer's pentameter owes more to the Italian endecasillabo than the French vers de dix, and confirms that Chaucer molded Middle English words and phrases to meet the iambic norm of the Modern English long-line canon.
“Thou wolt make … thyn hed to ake”:
Authors: Robison Katie 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Christine de Pizan worked carefully to construct her reputation as a scholar. However, in her poem Le Chemin de long estude, her literary self admits that she has been grappling with a mental condition directly linked to her studies. Already grief-stricken at her husband's death, her excessive reading and writing have aggravated her melancholy to the point of madness. I submit that Christine's persona seeks a remedy based in contemporary medical practice, but because she relies on the income generated from her writing, she cannot follow a conventional allopathic mode of treatment (cure by contraries) in the manner of Chaucer and other earlier writers. Instead, she establishes an isopathic mode of treatment (cure by similarities), seeking a remedy in the very activity that caused her mental instability. Her success demonstrates not only that the dominant model of humoral balance was not universally applicable but also that remedies could be self-prescribed.
John Lydgate's “Mumming at Windsor”:
Authors: Winstead Karen A. 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Lydgate's “Mumming at Windsor,” performed before Henry VI and his household in 1429, is not the straightforward work of propaganda that it has been taken to be. Lydgate interjects ironic observations about women into his ostensibly earnest propaganda celebrating Henry's Gallic roots. These observations may have awakened Lydgate's audience from complacent spectatorship and invited them to question his sincerity throughout. Lydgate conveys a complex message, consonant with the troubled politics that emerge elsewhere in his writings, even as he trumpets his support for the English claim to France.
Reality as Dream:
Authors: Sugito Hisashi 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
This essay seeks to make an account of the nature of Thomas Hoccleve's inner life in light of “dream.” Hoccleve's Regiment of Princes and the Series, despite their obvious indebtedness to the patterns of medieval dream vision, never describe formal dreams of the poet. Regarding this problem, I argue that Hoccleve dreams a dream while he is awake: dreme is a figurative notion for him, referring to his benumbed state of mind or “wit.” The insomniac Hoccleve, afflicted with melancholic “thought,” describes his feelings as dull and heavy, and the dullness makes his mind asleep even when he is awake. It is this languid inner condition that he calls dreme. In the Hocclevian dream, the mind is given a fluid image and fails to be captured precisely. Hoccleve develops the dream vision tradition to a paradoxical extreme: while he remains in reality, he reaches a dreamworld with his daydreaming mind.

Empirische studie over het Belgisch IPR in familiezaken
Met de financiële steun van het FWO Vlaanderen werd een doctoraat geschreven over grensoverschrijdend familierecht in de praktijk. Opzet van het onderzoek was om de concrete toepassing van het Belgisch Wetboek IPR grondig door te lichten. De auteur onderzocht of de doelstellingen van de wetgever werden bereikt in de praktijk. Hiertoe steunde zij op drie bronnen: 1) een databank met meer dan 3000 adviesvragen aan het Steunpunt IPR; 2) diepte-interviews met magistraten gespecialiseerd in familiezaken met een internationaal aspect; 3) 659 rechterlijke uitspraken. Dit empirisch bronnenmateriaal gaf de auteur een goed zicht op de wijze waarop rechtbanken en administraties de IPR-regels toepassen. Het artikel gaat uitvoerig in op de empirische onderzoeksmethode en bespreekt enkele onderzoeksbevindingen en beleidsaanbevelingen.---Through funding from the Research Foundation Flanders, a doctoral thesis on the actual practices of cross-border family law has been written. The main research question concerned whether or not the Belgian Code of Private International Law adequately deals with 'real-life' international family law matters. It was examined whether the objectives set out by the legislator have been met in practice. Three empirical sources were relied upon: 1) The database of the Centre for Private International Law, which contained more than 3.000 files, ranging from simple questions posed to the helpdesk to more elaborate advice given by the Centre's lawyers; 2) In-depth interviews with judges specialized in cross-border family cases; 3) 656 court decisions. This material allowed the author to obtain a very good understanding of how courts and (local) authorities apply the PIL rules. This paper elaborates on the empirical methodology, several research findings and policy recommendations.

Bespreking dissertatie van mr. J.H.M. ter Haar met de titel 'Minderjarigen en (de zorg voor hun) vermogen'
Ter Haar’s thesis is een verfrissende studie. De aanpak is origineel: verschillende thema’s rond het vermogen van een minderjarige worden besproken. De inhoud van het proefschrift bestaat voornamelijk uit reeds gepubliceerde artikelen, met inbegrip van een uitgebreid empirisch onderzoek. Hoewel het vermogen van een minderjarige de rode draad van zijn dissertatie vormt, handelt Ter Haar over veel verschillende aspecten van minderjarigheid: handelings(on)bekwaamheid (vergeleken met het fictieve tachtig-pusbewind), bewind (Boek 1 en Boek 4 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek), ouderlijk vruchtgenot, de som ineens, de verjaringstermijn in het kader van vermogensbeheer en de minderjarige in het erfrecht. Naar mijn mening ligt het zwaartepunt van de dissertatie bij het testamentaire bewind, waar Ter Haar een goede analyse maakt van de verhouding tussen het beschermingsbewind van Boek 1 en die van Boek 4 BW. Maar ook de andere hoofdstukken, gevuld met soms prikkelende suggesties, zijn zeer lezenswaardig.---Ter Haar's thesis is a refreshing study. The approach is original: different themes surrounding the property of a minor are discussed. The contents of his thesis mainly consist of already published articles, including extensive empirical investigation. Although the minor's property is absolutely the leitmotiv in his thesis, Ter Haar deals with very different aspects of minority: legal (in)capacity (compared with a fictitious eighty-plus administration), administration (Book 1 and Book 4 of the Dutch Civil Code), parental usufruct, the lump sum, the limitation period within the framework of property management, the minor in inheritance law. As far as I am concerned, the centre of gravity of the thesis lies with the testamentary administration under inheritance law, where Ter Haar makes a fine analysis between the administration from Book 1 and that from Book 4. But also the other chapters, filled with sometimes tantalizing suggestions, are very much worth reading.
