Effect of a heat and moisture exchanger on heat loss in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs undergoing single-limb orthopedic procedures
Authors: Hofmeister Erik H. , Brainard Benjamin M. , Braun Christina , Figueiredo Juliana P. 
Published: December 2011

Abstract
Objective—To determine whether a heat and moisture exchange device (HME) prevents a decrease in body temperature in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs undergoing orthopedic procedures.
Design—Blinded randomized controlled clinical trial.
Animals—60 privately owned dogs weighing at least 15 kg (33 lb).
Procedures—Dogs were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups (n = 20/group): HME placed immediately after anesthetic induction with isoflurane, after transfer to the operating room, or not at all. The device consisted of a hygroscopic filter placed between the endotracheal tube and the Y piece of the anesthesia circuit. Each dog was positioned on a circulating warm water blanket and had a forced-air warming blanket placed over its body. Body temperature was monitored after transfer to the operating room with a probe placed in the thoracic aspect of the esophagus.
Results—Study groups did not differ significantly with respect to body weight, body condition score, reproductive status, breed, surgical procedure, preoperative sedative and opioid administration, anesthetic induction drug, local nerve block technique, or operating room assignment. There were no significant differences among groups in esophageal temperature variables, interval between anesthetic induction and surgery, surgery duration, anesthesia duration, or oxygen flow rate. However, the relationship between temperature delta and body weight was significant and relevant (R2 = 0.23), as was the association between temperature nadir and body weight (R2= 0.10). As body weight increased, the temperature delta decreased and temperature nadir increased. No other significant relationships were identified.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Inclusion of an HME in healthy dogs undergoing anesthesia for an elective orthopedic surgery did not facilitate maintenance of body temperature throughout the procedure.

Strategical Perspective of Corporate Environmental Policy
The authors of the article analyze the benefits of corporate environmental policy in pursuance of a competitive advantage in the global market. Corporate environmental policy described as a strategic business investment opens new possibilities for their relationships with stakeholders and contributes to the promotion of social activity and to the attainment of the competitive advantage. By emphasizing the positive environmental policy's impact on competitive advantage of corporation in the global market the article treats of corporate environmental performance benefits, which are defined as improvement of relations with all stakeholders, intensification of corporation image, reputation development, business growth and customer loyalty. The paper deals with the development of Lithuanian corporate environmental policy in recent years and investigates the relationship between corporation activities and the improvement of relations with the stakeholders, which influences intensification of corporation's image and thereby increases competitive advantage of corporation. Researching the impact of corporate environmental policy on increasing competitive advantage, the authors found that active environmental performance positively influences business relationships with stakeholder groups and increases their competitive advantage in the global market.

Late Miocene and Pliocene history of the Danube Basin: inferred from development of depositional systems and timing of sedimentary facies changesThe development of the northern Danube Basin (nDB) was closely related to the Late Miocene geodynamic evolution of the Pannonian Basin System. It started with a wide rifting which led to subsidence of several basin depocenters which were gradually filled during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene. In the Late Pliocene the subsidence continued only in the basin's central part, while the northern marginal zone suffered inversion and the uplifted sedimentary fill began to be eroded. Individual stages of the basin development are well recorded in its sedimentary succession, where at least three great tectono-sedimentary cycles were documented. Firstly, a lacustrine cycle containing Lower, Middle and lowermost Upper Pannonian sediments (A-F Zones;sensuPapp 1951) deposited in the time span 11.6-8.9 Ma and is represented in the nDB in Slovakia by the Ivanka and Beladice Formations. In the Danube Basin of the southern part in Hungary, where the formations are defined by the appearance of sedimentary facies in time and space, the equivalents are: (1) the deep-water setting marls, clays and sandy turbidites of the Endrod and Szolnok Formations leading to the overlying strata deposits of the basin paleoslope or delta-slope represented by the Algyő Formation, and (2) the final shallow-water setting deposits of marshes, lagoons and a coastal and delta plain composed of clays, sands and coal seams, represented by the Újfalu Formation. The second tectono-sedimentary cycle was deposited in an alluvial environment and it comprises the Upper Pannonian (G and H Zones;sensuPapp 1951) and Lower Pliocene sediments dated 8.9-4.1? Ma. The cycle is represented in the nDB, by the Volkovce Formation and in the southern part by the Zagyva Formation in Hungary. The sedimentary environment is characterized by a wide range of facies from fluvial, deltaic and ephemeral lake to marshes. The third tectono-sedimentary cycle comprises the Upper Pliocene sediments. In Slovakia these are represented by the Kolárovo Formation dated 4.1-2.6 Ma. The formation contains material of weathering crust preserved in fissures of Mesozoic carbonates, diluvial deposits and sediments of the alluvial environment.

Quaternary post-collision alkaline volcanism NW of Ahar (NW Iran): geochemical constraints of fractional crystallization process
Major and trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopic data are presented for the Quaternary alkaline volcanism NW of Ahar (NW Iran). The exposed rocks mainly consist of alkali basalts, trachybasalts, basaltic trachyandesites and trachyandesites. Alkali basalts and trachybasalts display microlithic porphyritic texture with phenocrysts of olivine, clinopyroxene, and plagioclase in microlithic groundmass. In the more evolved rocks (basaltic trachyandesites and trachyandesites), amphibole and biotite have appeared. Major and trace element abundances vary along continuous trends of decreasing MgO, TiO2, Fe2O3*, CaO, Co, Cr, V and Zn, and increasing K2O, Al2O3, Ba and Th with increasing SiO2. The Sr and Nd isotopic ratios vary from 0.704463 to 0.704921 and from 0.512649 to 0.512774, respectively. Alkali basalts with high 143Nd/144Nd ratio, low 87Sr/86Sr ratio and high MgO, Ni and Cr contents indicate that they were generated from relatively primitive magmas. Ba, Cr and La/Sm ratios versus Rb suggest that fractional crystallization of alkali basalts could have played a significant role in the formation of evolved rocks. Assimilation and fractional crystallization modelling, as well as Rb/Zr, Th/Yb and Ta/Yb ratios clearly indicate that crustal contamination accompanied by the fractional crystallization played an important role in petrogenesis of the trachyandesites. The small compositional differences between magma types, isotopic composition, mineralogy and nonlinear trends on Harker diagrams also indicate that magma mixing was not an essential process in the evolution of the Ahar magmas. Petrogenetic modelling has been used to constrain sources. Trace element ratio plots and REE modelling indicate that the alkali basalts were generated from a spinel-peridotite source via small degrees (~2.5%) of fractional melting.

Relationship with Pulchelliidae, Engonoceratidae and Barremitinae are discussed. All the available evidence suggests thatMogharaecerasis an offshoot ofBarremititesand that it should be classified in the Barremitinae. New material from Egypt allows us to establish the Late Barremian age of this taxon.

Faith, Reason and Metaphysical Thinking: A Process Response to Fides et Ratio
Metaphysics has been subjected to much criticism from various quarters, including philosophy. The document Fides et Ratio affirms and defends its significance for religious belief. Strongly supporting the link between faith and reason, it endorses the tradition of using philosophy, with specific reference to metaphysics, to express, develop and defend theological doctrines. The encyclical also discusses the importance of metaphysics for one's philosophical outlook in life.
Pathological laughter and crying in patients with pontine lesions
Authors: Elyas Amin E. , Bulters Diederik O. , Sparrow Owen C. 
Published: December 2011

Pathological laughter and crying (PLC) has been widely documented in the medical literature in association with various pathological processes in the brainstem, particularly infarction. However, it remains poorly understood. The authors present a case report and analyze all the cases in the literature to try to localize a putative faciorespiratory center. This 13-year-old girl developed a pontine abscess subsequent to sphenoid sinusitis. This increased in size despite antibiotic treatment, and she developed PLC. The abscess was then stereotactically aspirated, with resolution of the symptoms.
A PubMed search of the term “pathological laughter and crying” was performed. From these papers all reported cases of PLC were identified. Cases without neuroimaging were excluded. The remaining cases were categorized as small lesions permitting accurate localization within the pons, or large nonlocalizing lesions. All images of localizing lesions were magnified to the same size and placed on a grid. From this an area of maximal overlap was identified. The authors identified 7 cases of small localizing lesions with adequate imaging. The area of maximal overlap was in the region of the anterior paramedian pons. All the lesions involved this region of the pons. There were 28 further reports of large lesions that either resulted in gross compressive distortion of the pons or diffusely infiltrated it, and thus, although implicating involvement of a pontine center, did not allow for localization of a specific region of the pons.
The authors report a case of PLC caused by a pontine abscess. Symptoms were reversible with stereotactically assisted aspiration and antibiotic administration. Analysis of the lesions reported in the literature showed a pattern toward a regulatory center in the pons. The most consistently involved region was in the anterior paramedian pons, and this may be the site of a faciorespiratory center.
Introduction à une étude métrologique des tuiles et briques gallo-romaines
Authors: Goulpeau Louis 
Published: December 2011

Après un rappel des textes anciens relatifs aux données métrologiques sur les matériaux en argile cuite dans le monde romain, la collecte des données archéologiques disponibles est décrite avec ses difficultés et ses limites. Avec pour base les 99 mesures inventoriées par Blanchet en 1920, c'est un ensemble de 564 données complètes dont nous disposons aujourd'hui.
Pour les briques carrées depilae, l'emploi de la paume comme unité de base est certaine. Pour les tegulae et les briques rectangulaires, une proportion générale de 4/3 entre la longueur et la largeur est mise en évidence avec peut-être une normalisation des modules, différente entre le nord et le sud de la Loire. Nous expliquons ce rapport 4/3 à partir de considérations anatomiques : rapport entre les dimensions du pouce et du doigt, ou de la main et de la paume. Les multiples façons d'obtenir des demi-modules pour les briques sont illustrées.
Etude comparative de populations gallo-romaines et mérovingiennes en Ile-de-France et Normandie
Authors: Auboire Guy 
Published: December 2011

A partir de neuf échantillons de populations antiques (trois d'époque gallo-romaine, six d'époque mérovingienne), provenant de Basse-Normandie et d'Ile-de-France et d'un groupe irlandais pré-roman, regroupant au total 417 sujets masculins, nous tentons, à l'aide des distances généralisées de Mahalanobis et Rao, modifiées par Pineau, de mettre en évidence des ressemblances morphologiques entre ces populations.
Le calcul, confirmé par ailleurs par une classification hiérarchique ascendante et une analyse en composantes principales, est réalisé à partir de variables crâniennes et post-crâniennes. Il met en relief et confirme la continuité du peuplement entre ces deux périodes.
Néanmoins, deux groupes attirent l'attention par la faible distance réalisée avec les Irlandais : Réville, dans le Cotentin, et la série du Vexin français. Cette enquête pourrait être le point de départ de recherches historiques et archéologiques qui permettraient de vérifier si, à l'orée du christianisme, ou plus tard, des groupes d'origine irlandaise ont pu, via la Grande-Bretagne, coloniser les côtes de la Manche de notre pays.
La sépulture mégalithique à entrée latérale du Petit Vieux-Sou à Brécé (Mayenne)
Authors: Bouillon Roger 
Published: December 2011

Excavation and restoration of the megalithic monument of the Petit Vieux-Sou at Brécé (Mayenne) confirmed the pre-excavation identification of the ruins as a lateral-entrance gallery grave with mound. Charcoal from within the mound has been dated at 3960 _+_ 70 BP placing the monument in the Late Neolithic towards the middle of the third millennium BC (calibrated).
The overall style - architecture, orientation... - makes significant comparisons possible with similar monuments in northern Armoriea. However, the position of the access passage at Brécé, exactly midway along the gallery, is noteworthy. The grave goods recovered include a main range of unornamented flat or round base vases with a lithic assemblage essentially of flint flakes and polished stone axes. These goods have their affinities with those of the Armorican lateral-entrance gallery graves : Quessoy and Saint-Quay-Perros may be cited though there are comparisons to be made with certain Paris Basin sites notably the Seine-Oise-Marne type trench graves and the Eteauville ossuary.
Découverte à Pornic (Loire-Atlantique) d'un site de l'âge du Bronze final (nouveau golf-Est)
Authors: Tessier Michel 
Published: December 2011

Un nivellement étendu pour la réalisation d'un nouveau golf à Pornic (Loire-Atlantique) a mis au jour de nombreuses structures archéologiques en creux : en particulier une petite fosse contenant cendres et céramiques caractéristiques de l'âge du Bronze final signant la présence d'un habitat de cette période.
La juxtaposition dans un même territoire aux limites naturelles d'installations d'époques successives suggère que des conditions fort comparables ont présidé à l'implantation de ces différentes cultures : de l'âge du Bronze Final jusqu'au haut Moyen âge.

Published: December 2011

In 1992, during the construction of the Rennes - Saint-Malo motonvay (RN 137), an Iron Age native farmstead was discovered and excavated at «Le Bas-Chesnay, Commune of Hédé».
The site, situated within a ditched enclosure, was totaly excavated and delivered a ceramic assemblage which enable a typo-chronological study to be made.
The results enable the excavation to date the occupation of the site to around 200 to 50 BC.
La question de la production d'armatures sur le site gravettien de Plasenn-al-Lomm (Ile de Bréhat, Côtes d'Armor)
Authors: Le Mignot Yves 
Published: December 2011

The industry of Plasenn-al-Lomm (a site that probably belongs to the Upper Perigordian) is defined by an abundance of burins. These burins show various methods of resharpening and contain some intermediate pieces between tools and cores. Despite a lack of backed-bladelet, a localised bladelet production exits and goes with a very significant deficit in burin-spalls.
These facts are suggesting the assumption that a backed-bladelet production did exist, but has left only few traces. The blanks used for this production should have been bladelet as well as some burin-spalls from specific burins, which are designed as cores and not as tools.
Nouvelles données sur l'atelier de potiers gallo-romain des « Mares Jumelles » (Eure). Productions, diffusion et environnement
Authors: Adrian Yves-Marie , Lepert Thierry 
Published: December 2011

Découvert à la fin des années cinquante, l'atelier des « Mares Jumelles » (commune des Ventes) est le seul centre potier gallo-romain de Haute-Normandie, situé hors agglomération antique, dont l'économie générale puisse être abordée de façon cohérente et relativement complète. Depuis la parution en 1988 dans la présente revue d'un premier article, les recherches menées sur cet atelier ont fondamentalement renouvelé la perception de ses productions. Ces données nouvelles sont complétées par les résultats des études céramologiques régulièrement réalisées sur les ensembles mobiliers issus des fouilles archéologiques générées par les opérations d'aménagement du territoire.
La synthèse des informations désormais disponibles autorise une première approche des conditions naturelles et humaines de son implantation au sein du territoire des Aulerques Eburovices. Cet aspect, souvent délaissé dans l'étude des centres potiers, est accompagné d'une redéfinition du répertoire des formes produites et d'une évaluation du poids de l'atelier sur le marché local de la céramique.
Sénèque, le stoïcisme et la monarchie absolue dans le De clementia
Authors: Salamon Gérard 
Published: December 2011

Le De clementia se présente comme un traité à fonction parénétique destiné à guider Néron sur la voie du bon gouvernement en le convaincant de pratiquer la clémence, élevée au rang de vertu cardinale. Mais à un moment où à Rome le stoïcisme apparaît comme lié par la figure de Caton aux valeurs républicaines, l’œuvre participe aussi d’un débat interne au Portique. Sénèque se réclame quant à lui du stoïcisme orthodoxe à la fois pour justifier son acceptation de la monarchie absolue et la place éminente qu’il accorde à la clémence, essentielle dans ce type de régime. Sur le plan des institutions, le dossier de Sénèque paraît solide ; en ce qui concerne la clémence on peut considérer qu’il cherche à faire évoluer la doctrine, même s’il raisonne toujours dans les cadres stoïciens. L’Histoire suffit à prouver que Sénèque n’a pas convaincu, mais il n’en reste pas moins que le De clementia est l’œuvre d’un stoïcien authentique.
La migration clandestine mexicaine comme un crime : commentaires sur quelques effets de la loi SB. 1070 de l’État de l’Arizona
Authors: Schaffhauser Philippe 
Published: December 2011

Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser les effets réels et possibles de l’entrée en vigueur en 2010 de la loi SB 1070, dite loi Arizona, laquelle se présente comme un dispositif juridique visant à lutter contre la migration clandestine dans cette partie de l’Union Américaine. Or cette loi a pour première conséquence pratique de criminaliser un type de situation migratoire et de stigmatiser ensuite la population mexicaine qui, selon les représentations sociales xénophobes, incarne para « excellence » (i.e. délit de facies), la figure du clandestin aux États-Unis. Être mexicain, dans ce pays, finit par être le commencement d’un délit ou du moins jette un doute sur la situation migratoire de l’ensemble des ressortissants de cette communauté nationale. L’article s’emploie à montrer l’arbitraire (l’État de l’Arizona comme tous les autres États de l’Union n’est pas compétent en matière de migration) et la construction artificielle du délit imputé aux sans papiers. En effet, faire de la migration clandestine un crime pose le problème objectif de déterminer qui est la victime réelle d’un tel acte et, selon l’expression consacrée par John Stuart Mill, cette forme de migration apparaît au regard de la philosophie morale comme « crime sans victimes », puisque la seule victime de cette infraction à la loi c’est la société américaine toute entière, ses lois, ses normes, ses valeurs et ses institutions, soit une entité abstraite au regard de ce qui se joue au quotidien en matière migration clandestine et de contrôle policier.
Le support filmique comme outil de médiation entre enseignant et étudiants LANSAD-sciences
Authors: Chaplier Claire 
Published: December 2011

Le concept de médiation est actuellement au cœur des préoccupations de la didactique des langues, c’est pourquoi une réflexion sur le processus de médiation impliquant un support pédagogique adapté à un cours LANSAD-sciences, les étudiants et l’enseignant est proposé ici. L’analyse porte sur un cas concret étayé par des considérations théoriques, celui des étudiants de M2 Professionnel en mécanique/énergétique de l’Université Paul Sabatier (UPS) qui constituent un groupe de niveau hétérogène (A2 à B2) peu motivé par l’apprentissage de l’anglais. Par ailleurs, en raison de la structure et des contraintes de l’UPS, une approche méthodologique communicative n’est pas toujours possible. Il en résulte que le support filmique Apollo 13 paraît être un médiateur motivant à utiliser pour notre étude. Après avoir dégagé les médiations culturelle/langagière, technologique et pédagogique impliquées par un tel choix, une autre forme de médiation semble émerger : la médiation maïeutique. L’enseignant devient un ‘apprenant’ qui s’intéresse au contenu. C’est une manière de susciter l’intérêt des étudiants et de les faire s’exprimer sur leur spécialisation à partir du film.
